Chapter 78: EXP Gem

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

——’You have entered the dungeon The Dark Side of the Sun.’

Xiao Li Vibrator gaped. “There’s a dungeon here? How come I don’t know it?”

Bu Yi hugged her enchanted staff closely, looking around inquisitively at the dungeon.

Lin Jie marked down Son of Solar Flare and commented, “Xiao Li, you go and set up Snake Traps and Ice Traps all around the Son of Solar Flare. Set up as many as possible. Bu Yi, have you learned the defense shield skills yet?”

Bu Yi replied, “Yes.”

“Put the shield around me, and activate the Fire of the Holy Garment with it.”

Whoosh——

Bu Yi lifted her hands, and a bright green flame surrounded her palms. It transformed into a shield around Lin Jie’s body. This was the main skill of a Ascetic Priest—the Power Word Shield!

Lin Jie checked the attributes of the Power Word Shield and saw that it could absorb 70 damage points—this was a pretty good stats for a Power Word Shield. After stacking multiple shields, the maximum damage points to be absorbed could reach 115 points.

Xiao Li Vibrator took out about ten plus mouse-trap-like traps from his backpack and started setting them up around the place. Trap Hunters were a weak job at this stage of the game, and one would require lots of time and equipment to set up traps.

“Done!” Xiao Li clapped his hands.

These crude mouse-traps secured with poisonous snakes or ice in the middle, using the Hunter’s arcane skills, would be the basic trap of a Trap Hunter.

Trap Hunters would only become strong after they changed their jobs.

However, this was enough for now.

After one minute, the Son of Solar Flare started its reproduction process. Light Elements were produced one after the other.

After eight minutes, the number of Light Elements produced had reached to around 300! They swarmed the whole space.

“Lure half of them to the traps. Bu Yi, guard my shield!” shouted Lin Jie. Activating Flame Boost and Blade Aura Executioner, he used the Blood Soul Multi-Slash attack and stabbed into the balloon-like body of the Son of Solar Flare with great vigor!

At the same time, the Ice Traps were activated. As if pouring a basin of hot water onto the cold ground in the depths of winter, bouts of chilly air rose up from the ground and formed a thick fog. All the Light Elements within 20 yards suffered a decrease of 30 points in their movement speeds!

For Elemental type creatures, movement speed was their crux in attacking players. The Light Elements’ basic movement speed was set at 15 points, and after it was decreased by 30 points, it basically meant they were stuck to their spots! What’s better was that the Snake Traps became activated at the same time.

Snake Traps would release a range of 5 to 25 poisonous snakes once activated, depending on the strength at which the target stepped on the traps. The more powerful their steps, the more snakes would be trampled to their deaths within the traps, and hence lesser snakes would be released.

The Snake Traps were normally used to attack jobs that had the ability to destroy traps, such as Bandits.

As the Light Elements weighed almost nothing, every snake trap was successfully activated without the loss of any snakes. All of a sudden, the poisonous snakes swarmed out in huge batches and started biting the Son of Solar Flare!

-37!

-35!

Although poisonous snakes only had 10 health points, they could deal out high damage. Hundreds of poisonous snakes were attacking the Son of Solar Flare all at once now, and its health bar began to deplete at a steady rate.

The Light Elements started shaking their fists at the player who barged into the dungeon. Much as strong as Xiao Li’s traps were, it was only able to hold about half of them off. In every of the following few minutes, the damage Lin Jie suffered increased exponentially!

“Power Word Shield! Power Word Toughen! Fire of the Holy Garment!” Bu Yi levitated slightly above the ground and maintained Lin Jie’s stats. The Holy Light emanating from her palms shone even brighter than the Sun’s rays.

Heal! +49!

Lin Jie held on to the hilt of Broken Blade tightly with his right hand and squinted his eyes slightly. At the same time, Broken Blade made a deep thrust into the Son of Solar Flare’s body with the activated Flame Boost skill. It avoided the Son of Solar Flare’s marble-like heart, and seemed to stab through a soft item in its body!

‘It’s this!’

Lin Jie’s eyes brightened, and he repeated the same process with the Withered Leaf Sword, stabbing with the same angle into a soft item in the Son of Solar Flare’s body.

Yes, this was the other soft heart of the Son of Solar Flare!

Lin Jie charged into the area surrounded by the Light Elements and felt hundreds of fists beating down at his face. His health bar was depleted until it was left with a mere 60 points, and his health points were now lower than 10%!

Bu Yi hurriedly cast Power Word Shield over Lin Jie’s body. The Power Word Shield was not a regen type of skill and could only absorb the remaining attacks. However, it would not change Lin Jie’s critical health state.

Hunter’s Forward Charge!

Lin Jie activated his skills and thrust Broken Blade with the activated Flame Boost skill into the Son of Solar Flare’s body.

Combo 1!

It was working!

The moment Lin Jie saw the effectiveness of his moves, his body turned red, and his muscles welled up.

Death Rage!

Blood Power!

The surge of power in his body made him felt hot. Broken Blade with the activated Flame Boost skill was stabbed into the body of the Son of Solar Flare again, and with a powerful tear, a deep cut appeared on its heart!

Combo 2!

Finding another opportunity, Lin Jie stabbed the same spot using the Withered Leaf Sword. His attack was spot on—a blood red bead-like item came out of the Son of Solar Flare’s body, hovered around in the air for a while and entered Lin Jie’s body.

This was the Blood Essence!

Combo 3!

+19!

Lin Jie’s Attack Power was temporarily increased by 19!

‘Go on, go on!’

Lin Jie wielded both swords as if firing accurately from the best fire gun. Every attack landed spot-on on the soft heart of the Son of Solar Flare!

It was a risk for a Berserker to use combo attacks—one careless mistake, and they would die. However, the gains to be made from combo attacks were huge. In just a short span of three seconds, Lin Jie’s Attack Power increased by 100 points! He felt awesome when the huge damage points kept appearing on top of the monster’s head.

“Die!”

With a shout, the health bar of the Son of Solar Flare was finally depleted.

The Son of Solar Flare dropped down to the ground, and its body turned to ashes… Nothing was spawned.

Lin Jie creased his forehead. Though he understood that the probability of getting the EXP Gem was minor, it still felt unpleasant to see nothing being spawned out by a monster when it died.

Following the death of the Son of Solar Flare, the Light Elements lost their source of life and also vanished into dust.

The System Column began to refresh itself, and every Light Element brought down awarded the players with 1 EXP point…

They left the dungeon and waited for it to reset again. The three of them also received a notification: ‘Congratulations on the first clear of The Dark Side of the Sun dungeon. You are rewarded with the City of Light Reputation 10 points, 5 silver coins, and 1,500 EXP points.’

The first clear rewards of a non-worldwide dungeon were just so-so.

“Continue,” said Lin Jie. When the dungeon was refreshed again, the trio entered it for the second time.

This time round, they were more efficient. Xiao Li Vibrator set up all Snake Traps inside the dungeon. When about 400 plus Light Elements were produced, 200 plus poisonous snakes crawled out fervently from the traps and attack them—in fact, their attacks were even higher than Lin Jie who activated Death Rage and used combo attacks.

They farmed The Dark Side of the Sun dungeon for the subsequent three hours.

Lin Jie was getting more used to dealing with combo attacks, yet the maximum combo he could do was just at 5! This was because when a critical point was hit, the critical point of the target would change to another location. For example, if one stabbed into his target’s eyes, once the target was blinded, he would have no use for his eyes anymore. As such, attacking the eyes area would be a waste of time—one should focus on attacking the lower body of the target now instead.

This logic could be applied to Elemental Creatures. It would be harder to find the changed critical points if it was a human or another animal.

After three hours of attacking the dungeon, the trio was tired beyond words.

“I can’t stand it anymore…” grumbled Xiao Li Vibrator in a low voice. “I need to go back to the city to replenish some poisonous snakes, or else I won’t be able to set up the traps.”

Bu Yi drank some water, and asked, “Do we continue then?”

Lin Jie shook his head. “Forget it, let’s stop.”

‘The attack strategy given by the fellow in my previous life must have gone wrong somewhere! Definitely! Or else… could it be that I was really that unlucky?’

After determinedly eliminating the latter option which he believed was totally not true at all, Lin Jie was only left with one option—the attack strategy provided by Messy Afterimages was wrong!

The Son of Solar Flare was the spot on the Sun, and it could produce Light Elements… coupled with the name ‘The Dark Side of the Sun’…

Lin Jie felt he was close to the answer.

“Fu Sheng, I am leaving first. Just call me if you need me.” Bu Yi waved her hands politely and tore the returning scroll.

He was now left with the last 30 Lizard’s Eyes.

‘Last try!’

Xiao Li Vibrator could not help but exclaim in amazement when he saw Lin Jie re-enter the dungeon. ‘This Bro’s stamina is pro… it’s a pity it was not used for that purpose, heh…’

———

Lin Jie stood with his weapons in front of the Son of Solar Flare after he entered the dungeon again.

After one minute, the first Light Element was produced. He sliced it effortlessly.

If one took the Son of Solar Flare as an NPC, the Light Elements which could give off light would be its nemesis. Since then, what would happen if one killed off all the Light Elements?

The attack strategy provided by Messy Afterimages In Lin Jie’s previous life had led players to a perception: the target to be killed in The Dark Side of the Sun was the Son of Solar Flare. To be honest, it made sense for players to direct their attacks at this Boss, as it could produce offsprings infinitely if not killed too.

The first Light Element did not spawn any item.

The second Light Element did not spawn any item.

The third… the fourth…

Lin Jie killed the Light Elements patiently, while he thought of another important manner, ‘It’s definitely not enough to take on the dungeon War of Light just with Netherblue’s team. A stronger team needs to be built.’

A five-person team was definitely not enough. It would require at least 10, or even 20 people!

At the current stage of the game, many of the experts in his previous life were still not as powerful yet. Those that had shown their abilities were poached by the various guilds. If he wanted to build a dagger squad, he would need to make a breakthrough somehow!

Time passed silently. With the death of the 100th Light Element, a smooth and rounded stone was left behind after its body dissipated into the air. Light radiated off from the stone’s smooth surface, but its attributes seemed to be hidden.

“Could it be…?” Lin Jie began to feel excited.

He picked up the gem in anticipation. The EXP Gem gleamed slightly and showed off some sparks. It was sealed!

“Requires Light Elements’ Souls: 0/1000.

Requires Son of Solar Flare’s soul: 0/1.”

‘So, this is the reason!’ Lin Jie was elated! He quickly stored the sealed EXP Gem away in his backpack and started wielding Broken Blade more enthusiastically.

With the death of every Light Element, the rounded gem seemed to change a bit, and the size of the Son of Solar Flare got smaller. Following the death of the 1,000th Light Element, the Son of Solar Flare gave off a soft cry and transformed itself into light rays, which was absorbed by the gem.

EXP Gem: Special item. It will take effect the moment you put it in your backpack. It increases 15% of the EXP points you received.

‘15%!’ Lin Jie’s eyes widened in surprise. Would all Exp Gem provide such high increases?

‘No, the one Messy Afterimages got only added on 8% of the EXP points he got. The one that I am holding now has double the effect!’

‘In my previous life, I remembered that Messy Afterimages hoarded the Grade Level board for years as he had the stone. Now, it’s my turn!’
