Chapter 774: Counting the Loot! Bountiful Harvest!
Buzz!!
In the blink of an eye, one minute had passed.
A dazzling golden pillar of light descended from the sky, accompanied by a massive deep-blue treasure chest landing before Ling Zhan and his teammates.
Without hesitation, Ling Zhan opened the epic dungeon's treasure chest.
Crack!!
When the chest opened, the rewards burst out instantly!
At the same time, a surge of enlightenment enveloped Ling Zhan, Ansely, and Avril.
[You have successfully opened the Sea Serpent Abyss treasure chest! Congratulations, your team has received the following rewards!]
[Reward 1: 1.3 trillion experience points!]
[Reward 2: SSS-level material 'Hydra Crystal Core' x10!]
[Reward 3: S-level elixir 'Advanced Attribute Amplifier' x10!]
[Reward 4: SS-level item 'Level Preservation Pill' x3!]
[Reward 5: Sacred Crystals x1.2 billion!]
[Reward 6: SSS-level material 'Deep Sea Essence' x3!]
[Due to your exceptional performance and record-breaking clear, congratulations on receiving the following additional rewards!]
[Reward 7: SS-level universal skill 'Absolute Stealth'!]
[Reward 8: A-level secret realm talent 'Wave Rider'!]
[Reward 9: Top-tier spirit weapon 'Blink Dagger'!]
[All rewards have been distributed. Please claim them promptly!]
[Note: Record-breaking rewards have been placed directly in your space pouch.]
...…
As soon as the chest opened, golden light engulfed Ling Zhan, Ansely, and Avril.
Anyone who had witnessed the record-breaking run knew this was the effect of personal rewards from the secret realm dungeon.
Personal rewards included secret realm talents and innate talents.
In level-100 epic dungeons, innate talent rewards were only granted for record-breaking clears.
Clearly,
All three had received skill and talent rewards.
And they were record-breaking rewards.
Even without knowing the exact details, it was obvious the rewards were incredibly abundant.
Additionally…
Just the materials, sacred crystals, elixirs, and items visible from the chest were enough to make anyone envious!
Especially the Level Preservation Pill!
With this item, if you died and were revived, your level wouldn't drop!
It was a dream item for countless players!
"Damn! I'm so jealous! These three must've struck gold!"
"Of course! It's a record-breaking clear! The rewards are several times better than normal clears!"
"Ugh! If I had known earlier, I would've thickened my skin and joined that non-specialist's team…"
Sounds of awe, envy, jealousy, and regret filled the air.
But some people sneered.
"Hah! What's there to envy? Once he exits, not only will he have to hand over these resources, but even his sacred weapon will probably be taken."
"It'll be like drawing water with a bamboo basket—completely futile!"
Upon hearing this,
The crowd suddenly realized.
They had almost forgotten…
The Sixth Merman Prince was still watching intently!
In Blue Sea City, anything he set his eyes on would end up in his possession.
Countless unlucky transferees had been looted of their precious items by the Sixth Merman Prince after clearing dungeons.
This was why many of the dungeon's rare resources were monopolized.
Thinking about it now,
They couldn't bring themselves to feel envious anymore.
...…
Inside the dungeon.
Ling Zhan scanned the rewards, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
The 1.3 trillion experience points instantly boosted him from level 130 to level 145.
A full 15-level increase!
As expected of a level-100 epic dungeon!
Though the entry fee was expensive, the experience rewards were more than worth it.
After evenly distributing the attribute points, Ling Zhan's four main attributes had all reached 3 million at level 145.
As for the other rewards…
Ling Zhan kept the SSS-level Hydra Crystal Cores and S-level Advanced Attribute Amplifiers for himself.
The SS-level Level Preservation Pills and SSS-level Deep Sea Essence were divided equally among the three of them.
He also kept the 1.2 billion sacred crystals for himself.
It wasn't because Ling Zhan was selfish.
Ansely and Avril felt they didn't deserve a share of the resources since they had only "ridden along" for the clear.
Just receiving the experience points and record-breaking rewards was already a big bonus for them.
The Level Preservation Pills and Deep Sea Essence were generous gifts from Ling Zhan, as these items were extremely valuable. As loyal teammates, Ling Zhan wasn't stingy with them.
Judging by their expressions, they clearly knew the record-breaking rewards were incredibly abundant.
Ansely received an S-level innate talent, 'Mercy to All,' which increased the effectiveness of all buff skills by tenfold.
For a priest, this innate talent was a perfect fit.
Avril also received an S-level innate talent, 'Magic Surge,' which boosted magic damage.
All in all,
The two girls had gained plenty from this secret realm run.
And Ling Zhan's rewards were just as impressive.
[Absolute Stealth (SS): Upon activation, you become transparent and completely conceal all traces of your presence, making you undetectable.]
Note: Your stealth level is equivalent to erasing your existence.
This was the same skill used by the elite Shadow Twin-Headed Sea Serpent in the second stage.
It was through this skill that the monster had slaughtered countless transferees attempting the dungeon.
Once fully concealed, it was impossible to detect through perception or exploration skills.
Only skills and talents with higher priority could reveal it.
Ling Zhan had only avoided its attacks by communicating with the coral and learning about its traits.
In the end, he had barely managed to locate the creature using his SS-level Ten Thousand Demons Eye.
This demonstrated how powerful the skill was.
It would be especially useful for assassinations.
Next was the A-level secret realm talent, 'Wave Rider.'
[Wave Rider (A): You are immune to water pressure and can move freely underwater.]
Not bad.
But to Ling Zhan, it was somewhat redundant, as he already had various underwater utility skills.
Lastly, there was the top-tier spirit weapon, the Blink Dagger.
The weapon's inherent attributes were average.
But its equipment effect was impressive.
[Light Blink (Equipment Effect): Allows the user to teleport a distance of 1-500 meters. As long as sufficient mana is provided, it can be used infinitely.]
This effect required energy charging.
When fully charged, it could be used for five consecutive teleports.
If continuously charged, it could be used indefinitely.
However, it consumed a lot of mana.
Most users could teleport five or six times before running out of mana.
But for Ling Zhan…
It was another top-tier weapon!
However, Ling Zhan planned to sell it.
The reason was simple…
Once he touched or examined a weapon, the Thousand Mechanisms Ring could perfectly replicate it.
With that in mind, this top-tier weapon was better off being sold for money.
