Lord Game: I Have 100 Million Talents-Chapter 106 - 80: Ancient Ruins Dungeon, Evil God Allegiance Route Part 2

Chapter 106: Chapter 80: Ancient Ruins Dungeon, Evil God Allegiance Route Part 2

"Since the Dragon Crystal rewards can’t be split evenly... you should see if you need to use Dragon Crystals to upgrade your own Talent."

"If you do,"

"then just keep those basic resources for yourself for now. Solidify your ranking in the event and get a few more Dragon Crystal rewards."

"You don’t have to go out of your way to transport them to me."

Long Zhongyi replied instinctively:

"Oh, it’s fine. I’m not in a hurry. The most important thing is to get you powered up, Tingfeng..."

He paused, then suddenly realized something was wrong:

"Wait a minute!"

"That’s not the point!"

"The point is!"

"Tingfeng, don’t tell me you’re a newbie player just like me?"

"How could you not even know about this?"

"The only reason I know Dragon Crystals can’t be traded is because I was desperate to escape this dump, the Northern Forest, and specifically asked some Reincarnated Players for a Strongest Lord guide..."

Seeing this, Qin Feng didn’t hide it and admitted directly:

"Yeah."

"I’m a newbie."

"Did you think I was one of the Reincarnated Players?"

Long Zhongyi: "..."

’Brother!’

’You were the first to subdue a Heroic Unit!’

’And the first to kill a Zero-star (Red) Heroic Creature!’

’And you call that a newbie?’

’More like a *monster* newbie!’

Besides, even the publicly acknowledged strongest Reincarnated Player, "mad madam," couldn’t do either of those things!

She couldn’t do them either!

Look at the regional channel just now. A core player from the Hafke Alliance even revealed that mad madam can currently only handle Zero-star (Purple) level bosses and heroes!

Although what he actually meant was that mad madam could only defeat Zero-star (Purple) heroes and bosses with "no injuries" or "low casualties."

When facing Zero-star (Gold) and Zero-star (Red) bosses and heroes,

she would need to sacrifice a considerable number of high-level Divine Chosen Soldiers that she had spent a long time training

just for a chance to solo them.

But even that is an extraordinary level of power that surpasses most Lord Players!

’And yet, you’re even more extraordinary than her!’

’This?’

’A newbie?’

Guessing that Long Zhongyi would be conflicted, Qin Feng didn’t want to crush his confidence and started to explain:

"Don’t worry about it."

"I just have exceptionally good luck."

"And I also got help from a few powerful reincarnated players."

"If it weren’t for my luck and the people willing to help me, I’d probably be in the same boat as you, or maybe even worse off."

The other side of the screen went silent for a long time before two lines of listless text finally appeared:

"Okay..."

"I get it..."

Qin Feng looked at the two wilted lines of text in the chat box, knowing the kid Long Zhongyi must have been stunned by his "freakish luck."

He figured that talking any further would probably break the kid’s spirit, so he decisively cut off the communication.

’In any case, the matter of transporting the basic resources to my territory is settled.’

’It’s better to let him digest it on his own.’

But unexpectedly, just as he swiped away the chat interface, Diablo, who had gone to scout the royal palace in the Ancient City, hurried back, knelt on one knee before him, and said in a low voice:

"Lord."

"I have completed my survey."

"The development level of these ancient ruins is extremely low."

"Those Kobolds are completely unaware that this magnificent Ancient City is not the treasure. The real treasure is buried directly beneath its royal palace."

[Your Divine Chosen Team has discovered an Ancient Ruins Dungeon—King’s Treasure Vault (Gold)]

[Note: The Ancient Ruins Dungeon is a physical Secret Realm instance. A maximum of a five-person party can enter each time, with no restrictions on the members’ identities or factions... A party that successfully completes the challenge can freely distribute all physical spoils obtained within the Secret Realm instance, but cannot obtain Divine Chosen Spoils (Secret Realms are places that cannot be spied upon by a Destiny Deity).]

[Note: Before the Dungeon is fully cleared, it can be challenged repeatedly. The monsters inside will not respawn.]

[Note: Dungeons are divided into single-level and multi-level structures. The former only requires challenging one level, while the latter requires challenging multiple levels. The deeper you go, the better the rewards and the higher the difficulty.]

’A Dungeon instance?’

’Makes sense. An Ancient City this huge just lying deep underground without anything special would be completely meaningless.’

’However...’

’A Gold-difficulty instance.’

’The monsters inside should be at least Zero-star (Gold) level.’

’With the strongest forces I have now,’

’fighting a Zero-star (Gold) enemy one-on-one isn’t a problem.’

’But I’m afraid they’ll be like those Void Creatures in the Lost Secret Realm, preferring to use overwhelming Sea of People Tactics, leaving me no room to show off my skills.’

’Thankfully,’

’this Dungeon instance has an escape route.’

’If I feel like I can’t win, I can retreat midway and come back again once I’m strong enough.’

’It’s not like the Lost Secret Realm, where a loss is a total loss, with no chance for a do-over, forcing you to fight to the bitter end in one go...’

"Alright."

"Let’s head in and take a look."

"If it’s too hard to clear, we’ll pull out immediately."

"Once we’re strong enough to easily one-shot Zero-star (Gold) level enemies,"

"we’ll come back and try again."

Having made up his mind, Qin Feng had Diablo lead the way, and the two of them headed toward the entrance of the treasure vault inside the Ancient City’s royal palace.

Meanwhile, Fenrir, who had been secretly keeping an eye on his movements, perked up her cute, fuzzy wolf ears, her silver-white tail restlessly sweeping the ground behind her.

’What is he up to?’

Her phantom-blue pupils reflected Qin Feng’s back. She bit her lower lip gently with her canine teeth and hesitated for a long time before finally following him with small, hurried steps.

Dragon King: "Besides Gale, who else has already moved deep into the Northern Forest?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Gluttony: "I have."

Greed: "Me too."

Pride: "me~"

Dragon King: "How far are you from Zhao Chuan’s territory?"

"Can you get close to that guy ’Tingfeng’?"

"If you can,"

"find a suitable spot to place your Lord’s Hall immediately."

"Then, send a few scouts into his territory to get a feel for his movements and check the strength of his Divine Chosen Army!"

Greed: "Brother Long, I can’t. I’m blocked by a red-named Catman Tribe. I can’t get through for now, so I’ll have to take a detour."

Pride: "Don’t look at me. I just got out of the Minotaur Kingdom’s territory. I’m still a long way off!"

Gluttony: "Brother Long, my position is close. About one more day’s ride on a fast horse, and I can reach Zhao Chuan’s original territory... but I’m worried he might have scouts there who will notice our movements, so I’m planning to place my Lord’s Hall right where I am now."

Dragon King: "Fine, that works. You decide. Place it wherever you think is appropriate."

"What about you, Gale?"

"How’s your combat power recovery going?"

Gale: "Brother Long, I’ve recruited 200 new combat units this week, but they haven’t had enough training time. Their proficiency with one-handed weapons and Shield Guard isn’t up to standard, so they can’t be promoted to ’Warriors’ yet. They’re stuck at the ’Regular Soldiers’ stage."

"However, I’m holding onto a lot of Champion and Warrior Promotion Cards, so I can instantly field a high-tier force of over 60 men."

"Should I use them right away?"

Dragon King: "No."

"Save those promotion cards for now."

"Later, when the ’King’s War’ event starts and we face the Hafke Alliance head-on, the casualty rate for our Divine Chosen Legion will be extremely high."

"We can use these promotion cards then to quickly churn out soldiers."

"That will allow us to suppress them."

Pride: "Huh? No need to save them, right? Aren’t we going down the ’Pledge to the Evil God’ route? Will we even have normal villagers left to instantly train these regular soldier types?"

Dragon King: "We have to save them."

"Because not everyone is taking the ’Pledge to the Evil God’ route."

"The currently planned candidates are just me, you, Alan, and Zhou... Liu Feng was on the list too, but his army getting completely wiped out this time was too devastating, so he’s been removed from the ’Pledge to the Evil God’ list."

Pride: "Is that so?"

"I thought we were all going to become Evil God Believers this time!"

"Only four people... kinda boring~"

Dragon King: "?"

"What are you thinking?"

"When we take the ’Pledge to the Evil God’ route,"

"it means we become enemies with all other Lord Players and Native Powers!"

"If something goes wrong and we fail midway, and there’s no one else to take over, wouldn’t this whole Rebirth operation be for nothing?"

Pride: "Heh!"

"Timid as a mouse!"

"I told you I should have been the one in charge of this operation!"

"We’re choosing to become Evil God Believers! We’ll gain growth and development speeds far beyond other players, and we’ll even get the Evil God’s blessing... Isn’t this so easy you could do it with your hands tied behind your back?"

"I have no idea what you’re so afraid of!"
