Chapter 13 - Chapter 13 A Restless Atmosphere

The battle ended quickly.

[Obtained 5 Black Bear Nails]

No wonder the wolf couldn't beat them.

Already at low health, and then encountering a bear-like beast with high endurance and strength, it would probably be smashed to pieces with a single slap.

But when a black bear encounters a ferocious bear, it can only be brutally abused.

The second-star Berserker Bear, standing 4 meters tall, has regained considerable power even though it is now just a skeleton, thanks to the tempering of the flames of death.

The summoned creatures that rushed to provide support returned, appearing briefly within the range of the car headlights. Their sheer number was enough to send chills down one's spine.

With his current combat power, Wei Huan is no longer afraid of encountering the Silver Treasure Chest Monster.

And so they walked and stopped, slowly exploring the forest at night, doing things that other challengers dared not do.

Although no more silver treasure chests were opened in one night, a large amount of resources were accumulated.

There was also a bottle of bronze stamina potion, a bottle of bronze strength potion, and a bottle of bronze agility potion, all of which Wei Huan drank after he got them.

As dawn approached, his personal data changed.

Name: Wei Huan

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Occupation: Gravedigger (Sequence 1)

Endurance: 223br240

Strength: 33

Agility: 25

Dark power: 101

Special state: Dark energy erosion

Number of summoned creatures: 18.

Running Wolf 9, Violent Bear 5, Hidden Cat 4.

With 240 stamina and 33 strength, Wei Huan's physical attributes are now so strong that he would be able to hold his own against a berserk bear.

With the right weapons and equipment, he might be able to take on a raging bear one-on-one.

But in reality, Wei Huan is a summoner, and his forte is the swarming of summoned creatures.

In his previous life, Wei Huan had never been so unrestrained in taking attribute-enhancing potions.

The drop rate for attribute potions is very low; they can only be obtained from Iron-grade chests. After obtaining a potion, you need to consider whether to consume it yourself or exchange it for materials to upgrade your vehicle.

Almost all challengers are constantly weighing their options and making choices.

Some people prefer to enhance themselves, while others prefer to enhance the vehicles.

However, high-level chests on the road are really limited, and there are already so few black iron chests, so the chance of getting attribute potions from them is very low.

Wei Huan was able to repeatedly create potions in the early stages because he had goggles. He discovered that potions of the same level and attribute could be taken repeatedly, but their effects would decrease.

For example, with the Bronze Stamina Potion, the first time he took it, he gained 50 points of stamina, but the second bottle only gave him 40 points.

Even so, if someone can actually drink the potion from the diamond chest repeatedly and stack all the attributes, it's possible to have tens of thousands of stamina.

With over 10,000 stamina, you wouldn't be able to break through the defenses of two- or three-star monsters like the Viper Bear even if you were surrounded and scratched, right?

This thought reminded Wei Huan of the giants on the battlefield, those towering figures who stood at the forefront, their imposing and broad backs supporting the survival of the human race on Earth with their powerful bodies…

The clock starts from the early morning

At 5:59, it jumped to 6 o'clock.

When the time comes, it's as if the world has had its light switch flipped.

It lit up with a "snap".

Wei Huan hurriedly closed his eyes, and it took him a while to adjust to the sudden brightness.

A familiar scene unfolded once again.

On both sides of the straight road, towering trees grow, and looking up, you can see a sliver of azure sky.

Sunlight shone through the thin clouds, illuminating the dewdrops on the emerald green leaves.

The chat room became lively again.

Good morning everyone! Love you all! Wishing us all the best in completing the challenge.

[The sky suddenly brightened; it looks so fake.]

[Today is the third day of the challenge. The newbie protection period ends tonight. Is everyone ready?]

[No! Need help from a pro! I'm a sage, I don't even dare open treasure chests. Is there any kind pro who could give me some food, drink, or materials?]

[I'm a gardener, looking for a generous patron to take me in. I'll turn into a cat and let you pet me.]

[Even gamblers want a strong partner. It's too difficult for thieves to solo power-type treasure chest monsters. Yesterday I encountered a tiger, got injured, and ran back to my car. I haven't dared to open any treasure chests since.]

The "gambler's" remarks resonated with many challengers.

[In the challenges, the farmer sequence has the best survival rate.]

[Criminals and hunters are also viable. The farmer class is equivalent to a warrior, the criminal class is equivalent to a berserker, and hunters are the most comfortable at taming treasure chest monsters. All other classes are bottom-tier, like stepchildren.]

[Without protecting ranged and fragile classes, and without giving them room to grow, humanity is destined to lose on the planar battlefield.]

[This is too difficult. At least you guys have damage dealers; the Prayer and Diviner are purely support. The worst is the Dancer—they don't even have any teammates! Who are they dancing for? The treasure chest monsters?]

Teng Jiayang indeed spoke up when such discouraging and demoralizing remarks appeared.

[Teng Jiayang: The hardship is only temporary. Once we get through this stage, we can form a team. We encourage support classes to prioritize life skills, and make good use of the time capsules you obtain. Just get through this period.]

[That sounds nice, but time capsules are rare items. How many people can actually open one? I can open treasure chests; do I need your protection?]

This challenge leaves no room for support classes.

[When I joined, everyone said the chance of becoming a farmer in the China region was over 50%, so why am I so unlucky to be a support class?]

[After two days of living in fear, I can't go on living.]

Previously, everyone agreed with and supported Teng Jiayang's words, but after two days and two nights of challenges, those who entered the challenge with excitement and anticipation discovered that surviving here was much more difficult than they had imagined.

The Awakened Farmer sequence is already considered an advantageous class in the early game, but opening the Black Iron Treasure Chest still carries a great risk, not to mention support classes with low combat power.

The number of people in the chat room has increased to 938br1000.

A wave of hostility swept through the comments section. Teng Jiayang tried to reason with them in a good-natured manner, but it was no use. Some people were already complaining that the Challenge Legion didn't provide enough free supplies and wished they could be protected and carried through the game.

At that moment, Wei Huan's heart stirred.

The summoned creatures searching in the forest once again brought news of a treasure chest being found.

open.

[Obtained Silver-grade Sage's Robe x1]...

There wasn't time to look at the rest in detail. After seeing that the supplies that had been spawned were silver-grade, Wei Huan immediately ordered all the summoned creatures to provide assistance, leaving only one bear guarding the vehicle.

The summoning squad, like a white torrent, rushed into the forest and disappeared without a trace.

Wei Huan sensed that the number of summoned creatures was decreasing.

The silver-level treasure chests were indeed different; the natives had stronger combat power, and soon four wolves lost contact.

Wei Huan then realized the error in the formation.

He hurriedly ordered his summoned creatures to adjust; the wolves returned and circled behind the bears, while the bears gathered together and concentrated on top.

After adjustments, the out-of-control situation was stabilized.

Wei Huan gazed at a spot in the forest, closed his eyes, and waited silently.

With a sudden thought, his mind opened the Temple of Professions and arrived at the Great Tomb.

Immediately afterwards, the four-headed skeleton with glowing green eyes broke through the dimensional space and reappeared in front of him.

Excellent! We've found a way to replenish wartime losses.

By making good use of the 5:1 time difference between the Temple of the Profession and reality, the summoning time can be even faster!

After the four resurrected wolves returned to the battlefield, the battle quickly came to an end.

[Obtained 4 Bear Fangs]

[1 point earned]

Additionally, opening treasure chests will also grant rewards.

[Obtained Silver-tier Sage's Robe x1]

[Obtained 1 Silver-grade Psionic Potion]

[Obtained Black Iron-grade Dagger x1]

[Obtain Vehicle Balcony Reinforcement Blueprint (II) x1]

[Obtain Vehicle Shock Absorber Reinforcement Blueprint (II) x1]

[Obtained 8 x Diamond Sand]

[get...

cool!

Another silver treasure chest, but the most valuable thing to Wei Huan was the silver-grade psionic potion.

The psychic potion can increase his maximum psychic power, which in turn increases the number of his summoned creatures, thus providing the greatest boost to Wei Huan.

The Silver-grade Sage's Robe is also a good item. After holding it in his hand, Wei Huan can see its attributes through the Silver Goggles.

[Silver Sage's Robe (Purple)]

+59 Armor

+30 Spiritual Power (Nether Power)

+60% Spiritual Power (Dark Power) Recovery Speed

+20 points Gold Affinity

Equipment: Increases the damage dealt by gold spells and effects by up to 51 points.

Equipment: Learn the Golden Needle Freezing Technique, which freezes the enemy for 1 second. Cooldown time: 10 minutes.

The purple robe not only enhances Netherworld Power but also increases its speed, both of which are of great use to Wei Huan.

Most importantly, there are equipment skills.

The concept of skills in the game is very vague; at least, you won't find skill scrolls that you can master in a single hit.

In this challenge, all skills can only be learned by going to the Temple of Professions, and can only be used after understanding and mastering them in different ways.

For example, Wei Huan once awakened the Farmer sequence, which in the Temple of Professions involved following the dotted lines that appeared in the void, year after year, day after day, chopping, hacking, picking, and pushing, including jumping, rolling, and running.

It's actually a very realistic training method, a challenge...

In the spiritual world, the person completes the transformation from an ordinary person to a soldier.

As the training progresses, the movements become increasingly difficult, and you may even encounter opponents. Only by defeating your opponents and completing the training can you qualify for advancement and then drink the advancement potion.

What are the benefits of this type of training?

Even if Wei Huan were reborn and given another chance, as long as his physical condition allowed, he could still use all of the [True Soldier Combat Techniques].

This is a mark etched on the soul.

That's why Wei Huan was surprised that a piece of equipment could come with skills.

Then I wondered if it was possible that many high-level equipment pieces of purple quality or higher might carry special abilities that are overlooked because they are difficult to identify?

With that in mind, Wei Huan opened the auction house and searched for equipment and weapons, hoping to find any "hidden gems".

He then discovered that he could neither see the attributes of items he wasn't holding, nor were there any weapons in the auction house that were higher than the Black Iron grade.

The only blue-grade black iron longsword, more like a show-off, was marked with 999 points.

The remaining weapons and equipment are mostly ordinary blank items; bronze items are very rare.

At this stage, the enhancement of weapons and equipment is more important than professional skills.

Bronze weapons and equipment are currently the mainstream, and challengers with some ability will try to get a basic two-piece set.

Wei Huan now possesses a black iron boning knife, black iron leather armor, a black iron longsword, and a black iron dagger; each of these weapons would be wildly sought after.

He wants to climb the rankings, but the combat power rankings will only count the equipment with the highest combat power in the same position on his character; any extra equipment will not be counted twice.

He had no use for these equipment, so he planned to sell them to buy supplies.

However, we should wait until Mu Zhong wakes up before changing. Mu Zhong will keep the equipment he can use, and the remaining equipment will be exchanged for blueprints or materials that Wei Huan can currently use.

Wei Huan's current resource collection is already very advanced; there are probably not many resources available in this area that are better than his.

However, given the large number of players, there's still a chance of getting high-level resources from low-level chests, so it's still worth looking forward to.

After considering all this, Wei Huan took out the balcony reinforcement blueprint (II), studied it, and found that he actually had enough materials, so he immediately upgraded it.

Thick fog rose again from the balcony at the rear of the car.

Mu Zhong finally woke up to the escalating sounds of banging and clanging.
