Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Significant Upgrade, Re-entering the Instance

This Combat Armor is equipment on the same level as the Celestial Master Demon-Slaying Sword.

It’s durable and has self-healing properties.

Its simple and practical functionality perfectly matches Lu Wenwu’s “Influence Body Refining Skill,” making him instantly fond of it.

Although it’s called a Body Refining Technique, it is, in fact, a legitimate Cultivation Technique.

It can channel Qi Blood Power to unleash Life Energy from the muscles, driving various armors, weapons, and items.

Therefore, this Combat Armor is very efficient, quite good indeed.

Aside from these, there are rewards including an Advanced level Cultivation Technique and a Refined level War Saber.

Lu Wenwu already has the superior Celestial Master Demon-slaying Sword and the “Influence Body Refining Skill,” so he stored these rewards away for now.

He plans to contact Liu Ming later to see if these items and the Demon-slaying Sword can be converted to cash.

Alternatively, if they can be exchanged for other weapons and skills.

A few Healing Elixirs, three Skill Books, a Cultivation Technique, a set of Armor, and a Weapon, that’s all the rewards from above.

From Lu Wenwu’s perspective, with his head start of top-level techniques and rare-level weapons, the official rewards seem not so generous.

But in reality, considering the general situation of players, these rewards are already quite generous.

The quality of skills, cultivation techniques, and equipment used by most players is typically a major tier lower than their own level.

Rare level equipment is useful up to B Tier at Levels 20-30.

Players who can use equipment of the same level are certainly talented individuals.

Those who can use equipment above their level are Celestial Prides among Celestial Prides, a miracle even to appear among millions.

As you can see, the batch of rewards distributed by the official is already very sincere.

After all, this isn’t a real game, nor is there any talk of studio brick-moving for money.

The rewards distributed come from the pocket of high-level players who generously squeezed them out.

Players with official status have a mandatory quota to participate in Dungeons each month.

If delayed, the system will forcibly start the matching process in the final stage.

Therefore, there’s no notion of being useless.

Even if high-level players have no use for low-tier equipment, selling them for some Spirit Coins can enhance attribute points or buy some Blood Medicine!

Every Spirit Coin can realistically increase one’s dungeon survival rate, who wouldn’t care?

After organizing his equipment, Lu Wenwu casually browsed the so-called official forum.

Hmm…

It’s probably something like a forum thread, with posts about experience sharing, cpdd, and equipment trading, nothing new.

In comparison, the official information sent to him helped Lu Wenwu understand quite a bit about important matters after becoming a player.

For instance, how to allocate points, choose suitable skills and cultivation techniques, spend Spirit Coins, the general types of dungeons and task models, and so on.

Lu Wenwu focused on understanding the aspect of in-game purchases, and then immediately started spending extravagantly.

Mao Mao had no equipment and skills to use, so it was all directly converted into attribute points.

After a round of spending, Mao Mao’s speed instantly increased to an astonishing 56!

If one hasn’t cultivated somewhat advanced techniques and body techniques, even C Tier players wouldn’t be as fast as it.

After learning three skills himself, Lu Wenwu spent money to increase the skill level of “Military Martial Arts” and “Shadow Step” slightly.

The “Advanced” level skill alone requires 20,000 Spirit Coins to advance from “Shallow Perception” to “Initial Glimpse.”

Two skills equal 40,000.

For ordinary cultivators, that upgrade is impossible.

If only the main quest is completed in dungeon settlement, only a “Pass” evaluation is obtained, rewarding just 1,000 Spirit Coins!

“Good” gives 4,000!

“You” offers only 9,000!

“Perfect” gives slightly more, 16,000.

And upgrading skill proficiency one level further through purchases doubles to 40,000 per skill.

Even the affluent Lu Wenwu dared not waste that way; instead, he obediently bought ten “Tenfold Rapid Cultivation Cards” at 1,000 Spirit Coins each to train himself.

Starting anything is difficult.

Once having initial awareness, with the help of acceleration cards, quickly improving skill levels is not hard at all.

At least, it’s not difficult before the skill level of “Entering the Hall.”

With the remaining 25,000 Spirit Coins, apart from buying some special healing potions for self-defense, over 20,000 were exchanged for attribute points.

After indulging significantly, Lu Wenwu, feeling the influx of a massive amount of knowledge in his mind, decisively threw himself onto the sofa and picked up his phone.

“So now, let’s order some takeout, ask Liu Ming to help me convert to cash, and then start skill level enhancement training!”

…

Eleven days later, in the underground training room.

Lu Wenwu, shirtless and smiling, clenched his fists.

His muscles are knotted, with those on his back faintly forming a face-like shape.

[ID]: Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God

[Level]: lv5 (D)

[Body]: 53

[Blood Volume]: 5300

[Talent]: Evil Slayer, Eye of Insight

[Cultivation Technique]: Influence Body Refining Skill

[Skills]: Egg Pancake Cooking [Peak of Perfection], Military Killing Fist [Skilled], Military Martial Arts [Skilled], Shadow Step [Skilled], Firearms Mastery [Shallow Perception]

[Free Attribute Points]: 0

[Spirit Coins]: 987

…

After ten days of accelerated cultivation, Lu Wenwu was like a completely new person, with a comprehensive combat power that soared sharply.

Besides the attribute points exchanged with Spirit Coins, the Body Refining Technique influenced his physique growth by 1 point during his breaks.

It’s worth mentioning that Lu Wenwu has extraordinary talent in fist techniques.

He exchanged the unused cultivation technique and saber for an Advanced level Military Killing Fist.

With only the amplification from cultivation acceleration cards, he managed to reach the “Skilled” level in just ten days.

He even approached the next stage of “Skillful.”

If it wasn’t for the depletion of the cultivation acceleration cards, Lu Wenwu would definitely have made a breakthrough in one go.

“Xiaobao, stay obedient at home, Liu Ming will take care of you later.”

After getting dressed and packing some prepared supplies into a backpack, Lu Wenwu waved goodbye to his little cat Mao Mao.

Today, Xiaobao unusually didn’t nap but was sitting on the lower layer of the cat tree with its hands tucked, glancing up.

Watching the man and his dog teleport away in a flash, the luminous cat eyes unmistakably showed a bit of feline disdain.

The little cat doesn’t understand what going out to work means!

The little cat only knows that its little brother and the pooper scooper are gone again!

Killing each other is prohibited?

This isn’t bad; it should filter out some ill-intentioned people.

When Lu Wenwu regained his vision, the surroundings had become unfamiliar.

He appeared alongside four others in a dim wilderness.
