Chapter 19: Dungeon Opening

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Most of the humanoid monsters’ levels were not low. The depraved wizards were basically the lowest-level humanoid monsters.

Steal could only work on humanoid monsters so as of now, the Depraved Wizard Camp was Seuss’s best choice.

Luring the level 6 depraved wizard to one side, Seuss used Staggering Blow to lock the depraved wizard in place. For a full thirty seconds, Seuss could practice Steal several times.

Only when there was nothing on the body of the depraved wizard other than the ragged clothes would Seuss kill this depraved wizard and attract the next one.

Two hours passed very quickly. Seeing that the sky was gradually turning dark and that the field of view at night was too poor, Seuss did not want to stay there any longer.

Skill: Steal (450 /1000)

Now that the proficiency of Steal was close to half, he estimated that in another three hours, he would be able to increase the proficiency of Steal to the max.

After returning to Kroll City, Seuss went to the auction house and bought all the fine silk inside. He also put up all the things he had stolen from the depraved wizards.

There was more than sixty fine silk in the entire auction house, but Seuss only bought forty-five of them.

Because there were too few fine silks in the market, after Seuss started to purchase them in bulk, the price of the fine silk began to rise.

Originally, the price of fine silk was about seven silver coins. After Seuss bought forty-five of them, the price of fine silk had almost risen to ten silver coins. It would not be worth it to buy more.

The main reason was that the current players’ levels were not too high. Currently, fine silk could only be obtained from two types of monsters.

One was the water spider, a level nine monster that only a few people could challenge.

The other type was not so scary. It was a level six Aboriginal Jumping Spider which many people could challenge now.

Tomorrow, there would be more fine silk in the market and at that time, the price of the fine silk would slowly fall. At that time, it would be more cost-effective to buy more.

…

Early the next morning, Seuss had yet to wake from his dream.

“Brother Stars, I was right, wasn’t I?” A message from Daydreamer was sent over. “The dungeons are indeed open today.”

Seuss rubbed his eyes. He couldn’t understand why Daydreamer always has so much energy.

Yesterday, when Seuss was resting, he was still leveling up with his party.

It was only six in the morning yet judging from his tone, he must have been awake for a long time.

Looking at the announcement on the game menu, Seuss knew what he was talking about.

“The Demon’s Dens that were once sealed have reappeared after thousands of years. Brave adventurers, please use your courage and bring the Stones of Light, continue to seal those Demon’s Dens to save Atlanta!”

“The dungeon event has begun. The first team to clear the dungeon will receive a high reward. Muster your courage and embark on this journey!”

With a yawn, Seuss recalled what had happened yesterday. Daydreamer was indeed correct. Sanctuary had indeed spent much effort on the tiniest details of the game.

They actually wrote the game process in the library.

If someone could finish reading all the books in the library, the entire Sanctuary would probably be no secret to him.

However, when he first entered the library yesterday and saw the hundreds of thousands of books inside, Seuss felt that it was basically impossible to read all the books in the library.

When he first entered the library and saw the hundred thousand books, Seuss thought that they were just decorations in the game. In the end, he casually took out a book, and the contents were actually real.

After some verification, Seuss discovered that every book in the library was different, and all of them recorded the rumors and history of Atlanta.

There were actually so many books in a game, and they were all compiled by them. This workload was no less than making Sanctuary.

Thinking of this, Seuss set a plan for himself. For his first experience of each day, he would draw an hour after nine to go to the library and read.

He opened the game menu.

“Have you picked the dungeon?” Seuss sent the message. Since Daydreamer had initiated contact with Seuss, he must have a plan.

It was at least a basic plan.

Daydreamer was reliable most of the time. Everything he did was reassuring.

“Of course!” Daydreamer sent a message instantly as if he was waiting for Seuss’s reply.

“Today, you, me, Madman, Sirius, and Heart of Holy Light will go and clear the Twisted Forest together.”

As expected, Daydreamer had already made arrangements and was waiting for Seuss to agree.

They agreed to meet at the City Defence Office of Kroll City at seven. Seuss turned around and went to the store, making preparations for the dungeon.

He had already spent two days in Sanctuary. Now, Seuss had some understanding of Sanctuary.

Generally speaking, the name of the dungeon was related to the contents inside. Since the dungeon was called Twisted Forest, it must be related to a forest.

The most dangerous thing in the forest was definitely not monsters, but all kinds of toxins. There would be all kinds of toxins inside.

Any toxins that were produced by insects, animals, or plants were possible.

Two sets of elementary antidotes, one set of Water Breathing Potions, two sets of Mana Recovery Potions (Small), two sets of Health Recovery Potions (Small)…

After spending a total of one gold coin, Seuss completely filled up his basic backpack. However, this time, Seuss did not intend to apply poison on the dagger, because monsters that contained poison usually had a certain degree of poison resistance. The poison that could be found now was basically useless against these monsters.

After buying some more food and fine silk, Seuss went to his personal warehouse to clear out some space in his backpack.

When they arrived at the City Defence Office, there was already a sea of people. There were at least three hundred people gathered outside the small room. These people were all here to see what the dungeon looked like.

After all, according to the official information, death in the dungeon would not deduct experience points or drop items. Only the items obtained in the dungeon would disappear.

Suddenly, someone climbed onto the roof of the office’s shack and shouted.

“The dungeon opens today. Our Desert Guild will definitely obtain the first clear of the dungeon. When the guild system opens, we welcome everyone to join the Desert Guild.”

He looked up and saw a mage standing on the roof. It was the mage who had tried to force Seuss to give up the leveling ground that day but was easily killed by Seuss, Desert-Lone Eagle.

Seuss was familiar with this type of people. There were many such people in the school, those who wanted to rope in most people and gain power.

The Desert-Lone Eagle in front of him was no different from the people in school. They were all trying to gain prestige and then power from the prestige.

Desert-Lone Eagle kept talking about the strengths of the Desert Guild on the rooftop, repeatedly promising that he would definitely get the first clear of the dungeon.

Yesterday, Stars was able to amaze the world with his brilliant feats because he was lucky. The days ahead are still long. Only those who are truly capable can have the last laugh.
