Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Dungeon Settlement and Advanced Trial

This place isn’t as considerate as the Main God Space, where you can spend money for healing and disinfection during the settlement.

If luck isn’t on your side and you’re short on cash, you might not survive until the Spirit Coins settlement or the shop unlocks for buying medicine, and you’ll be directly transported back to Blue Star as a corpse.

Yes, normally, auxiliary functions like the [Shop][Official Forum] within the dungeon world are locked and can’t be opened.

Of course, under normal circumstances, players who pass the dungeon wouldn’t be in such dire straits.

Locking the shop is just to prevent some imaginative players from using suicide attacks for disruptive operations.

[Settlement in Progress]

[You have cleared the dungeon— The King’s Fall]

[Number of players surviving: 5]

[Dungeon Evaluation: Unbelievable]

[Dungeon Summary: You have redefined infiltration, redefined assassination, redefined influencing with virtue and reasoning, and further redefined monumental assistance. Your unique perspective always leads you to take unconventional actions. As a brute who transcends human emotions yet loves sophistry, you did quite well this time.]

Lu Wenwu raised his brows: “Are official dungeons packed with this many new tricks? There’s even a dungeon summary? Whatever, I’ll take it as a compliment.”

[Your level has increased to Level 10]

[You have received the [Mysterious Fortune Bag]]

[You have received [20x Accelerated Cultivation Card ×5]]

[You have received [10ml of the Blood of the Outer God (Pure)]]

[You have received 105,000 Spirit Coins]

[You have received 50 free attribute points]

“Not bad, I’ve gained quite a bit this time.”

Lu Wenwu glanced through the reward list, his mood turning cheerful once again.

The Mysterious Fortune Bag, which had given him a pleasant surprise last time, was still present, with two this time.

It seems that as long as you receive an [Unbelievable] evaluation or complete a hidden quest, you get one.

Not too difficult.

[Note: Your level has reached Level 10, meeting the standard for Advanced Trials to open]

[Note 1: After the Advanced Trials open, the difficulty of your next dungeon will greatly increase, requiring a [Good] evaluation or above to pass]

[Note 2: Due to the higher difficulty of the Advanced Trials, your rest duration will be doubly extended until success in trials or death]

[Note 3: When the personal overall evaluation of the dungeon reaches [Excellent] or above, you are guaranteed to receive a cultivation technique reward suitable for you, with the specific level depending on the personal overall evaluation]

“Advanced Trials… Quite anticipated.”

Lu Wenwu rubbed his chin and, together with Mao Mao, was teleported back home.

This trip lasted more than half a month, translating to about forty hours in real time.

It’s now the second-day night early morning since the start of the dungeon.

A flash of white light occurs, and the master and pet duo instantly appear in the still-lit villa living room.

“Ah! I still love the feeling of being home.”

Lu Wenwu stretched lazily, then heard the faint sound of small footsteps.

Blue Cat Xiaobao suddenly dashed out from some corner of the house and sat firmly in front of the duo.

In the darkness, a pair of round cat eyes glimmered with light.

Having not seen his buddy for more than half a month, Mao Mao grinned widely and wagged his tail like a propeller as he trotted over.

Who knew a golden retriever could show such a delighted grin?

However…

Just as Mao Mao enthusiastically attempted to give Xiaobao a loving hug, Xiaobao’s face instantly showed disgust. He swiftly dodged and turned around to deliver a series of cat punches.

And complemented with loud meows in protest.

After suddenly disappearing for so long, the little kitty is very upset now!

Having just fought with those contaminated creatures, Mao Mao’s golden fur was stained with numerous dried blood clots; the tidy Xiaobao couldn’t possibly allow him to pounce.

The golden retriever didn’t get upset, instead thinking Xiaobao was merely playing around with him. He got more excited and tried to lick a few times.

The kitty’s eyes grew increasingly terrified, and his cat-punching speed picked up.

Seeing the cat and dog in a bundle of chaos, Lu Wenwu laughed heartily, then darted over and scooped Xiaobao up into his arms for a vigorous cuddling.

Then, with a blissful look, he buried his face in the fluffy cat belly for a few deep breaths.

Ah, bliss!

Loved and unloved things alike, this slick and warm little creature sure has a great texture when touched.

“Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa!”

A series of muffled sounds erupted.

The target of the cat punches shifted from Mao Mao to Lu Wenwu.

This rowdy man, having previously vented his frustrations by pounding Qian Limin into pulp, was more blood-stained than Mao Mao, and the little kitty naturally wouldn’t welcome a hug after grooming.

The petite and lovely cat paws swung wildly, with soft pink pads as perfect cushioning.

With such a force, even before he became a Transcendent, Lu Wenwu wouldn’t suffer any injuries.

It was mere playful whims with retracted claws.

After a while of play between the cat, dog, and man, Lu Wenwu finally stopped the cat-petting session and, contented, headed towards the bathroom with Mao Mao for a shower.

Leaving Xiaobao alone on the sofa with an extremely resentful look, angrily re-grooming.

About half an hour later.

After showering both himself and Mao Mao, Lu Wenwu lay on the large bed in the bedroom, ready to sleep.

Evaluating the gains can wait until tomorrow.

The consistent fighting and post-shower comfort had left him somewhat sleepy.

Having freshly groomed his fur, Xiaobao also trotted over snugly and settled above Lu Wenwu’s pillow, closely against his hair.

Lu Wenwu reached over to scratch the cat’s head.

Listening to the “hrr-hrr” soothing cat purring, feeling the soft little cat paws continuously kneading, he quickly fell asleep.

…

Next day.

After calling Liu Ming to tell him he returned home, Lu Wenwu headed to the underground training room of the villa.

The rumor is the walls here are guarded by arrays, able to withstand training aftermaths from even S-level experts, specially reserved by the higher-ups for top talents like Lu Wenwu.

Allowing him confident practice without extra worries.

[ID]: Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God

[Level]: Level 10 (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]

[Equipment]: Combat Armor [Rare], Heavy Cannon Gloves [Rare]

[Free Attributes]: 169.54

[Spirit Coins]: 105987

…

A single dungeon sweep netted nearly 170 free attribute points and 105,000 Spirit Coins, an absolutely enormous haul.

These 176.54 specialized free attribute points equate to a staggering 680,000 Spirit Coins worth of attribute exchange for ordinary players.

Definitely terrifying.

Lu Wenwu didn’t rush into allocating the points but first took out two Mysterious Fortune Bags to see if there were any good items before proceeding.

[Mysterious Fortune Bag: Randomly obtain a reward of unknown quality and unknown species]

Identical to the ones awarded in the previous Initial Dungeon, no differences whatsoever.
