The day after clearing the hellish Bone Burial Dungeon, Liang Yi fulfilled his promise.
Li Feng brought Gu Chen to the outside of the Wancheng Treasury.
The Wancheng Treasury contained the city's greatest wealth, housing countless equipment, items, and rare materials.
Aside from the city lord, only those who had made outstanding contributions to the city were allowed to enter and select treasures.
Gu Chen's achievement in the Bone Burial Dungeon was considered an outstanding contribution to Wancheng.
Gu Chen received a gold card from Li Feng, allowing him to select any piece of epic-level equipment from the treasury.
"Gu Chen, go in! You can choose any piece of epic-level equipment or lower, but this gold card can only be redeemed for one piece of equipment," Li Feng said with undisguised envy.
Gu Chen nodded and took the gold card into the treasury.
The treasury was like a large exhibition hall, filled with a variety of equipment and items, from the rarest to the most rare.
The equipment and items shone with a dazzling light of various colors, creating a dazzling scene.
There were so many treasures, it was hard to choose.
Gu Chen, looking at the numerous treasures before him, felt a bit like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, momentarily dazzled.
After a brief tour, he realized that perhaps because the Summoner class was rare in smaller cities, there wasn't much gear suitable for it.
He wasn't discouraged, however. While he didn't have much gear to use, his summoned beasts had plenty.
After browsing the epic equipment section for a long time, he finally picked out a piece of armor—Indomitable Black Armor.
[Indomitable Black Armor]
[Quality: Epic]
[Level: LV.20]
[Class Restrictions: Melee]
[Attributes: +500 Constitution, +6000 Health]
[Effect: Deals 5% of the wearer's maximum Health as true damage to nearby targets per second]
(This effect doesn't affect ranged classes.)
After careful consideration, Gu Chen finally decided on the armor.
While the +500 Constitution and +6000 Health bonuses were impressive, they were secondary. Gu Chen's main attraction was the armor's effectiveness.
The target is the enemy unit. If this Unyielding Black Armor is equipped on the Dark Hunter Dragon Turtle, its 76,000 health points will be increased by another 6,000, bringing its maximum health to 82,000.
This will allow the Dark Hunter Dragon Turtle to deal over 4,000 true damage per second to nearby targets during combat.
Look carefully, that's per second!
[Howling Taunt] forces nearby targets to attack it, and [Crushing Impact] deals damage while also slowing targets in its path.
Combined with the Unyielding Black Armor's effects, you can imagine the killing spree the Dark Hunter Dragon Turtle will go on once it enters the Abyss.
"You've got it."
Gu Chen exchanged his gold card for the Unyielding Black Armor, took the equipment, and left the treasury with great satisfaction.
Outside the treasury, Li Feng was still waiting.
"Judging from your expression, you must have chosen a piece of equipment you're very satisfied with," Li Feng said with a smile.
"Yes, thank the City Lord for me," Gu Chen nodded.
"Next, you have one more chance to enter a Tier 1 dungeon or the Abyss. What are your plans?" Li Feng asked.
Gu Chen is now level 19. This time, clearing the Hell-level Bone Dungeon only raised him two levels. His
leveling has slowed considerably compared to before.
First, as his level increases, the experience gained from killing aliens has decreased.
Initially, a level 11 summoned beast would gain around 1,500 experience points from killing a level 13 Beast Corpse Chimera.
Now, a level 17 summoned beast would gain less than 800 experience points from killing a level 15 Beast Corpse Warrior.
A complete halving.
Second, the experience required to level up has increased.
When Gu Chen entered the Nightmare-level Bone Dungeon, he was only level 11, requiring only 20,000 to 30,000 experience points per level.
By the time he entered the Hell-level Bone Dungeon, he was already level 17, requiring over 300,000 experience points per level.
Furthermore, the record-breaking reward can only be claimed once, and subsequent clears of the Hell-level dungeon will no longer receive the experience bonus.
The inevitable slowdown in leveling is inevitable.
Therefore, while he still has a chance to enter the first-level dungeon, Gu Chen certainly doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
"What are the city lord's plans?" Gu Chen asked.
Since Li Feng took the initiative to bring up this topic, he must have come prepared.
"Some time ago, Wancheng built a new first-level dungeon. If you are interested, the city hall can directly allocate a quota to you."
Directly allocating a quota means exempting the dungeon usage fee, which can save millions at once.
"First-level dungeon? What about the experience reward?" Gu Chen was a little tempted.
"How should I put it? Although it is an artificial dungeon, if you play the hell difficulty, the experience reward is not inferior to the abyss, but the difficulty is much greater than the ordinary dungeon."
"That's not the point. As long as the benefits are high enough, it doesn't matter how difficult it is."
Gu Chen didn't care about it. After all, it was just a first-level dungeon. How difficult could it be?
"That's fine. If you agree, I can send you some dungeon information."
"Wait a minute." Gu Chen didn't rush to agree, but quickly said, "Since we're entering a dungeon, could you please ask the City Hall for a small favor?"
"You go ahead."
"I heard the difficulty level of artificial dungeons can be adjusted. I want to go straight to Hell level. After all, I'm already level 19. If I unlock them step by step from Hard level, I'll probably be level 2 before I even reach Hell level."
Once you become a Level 2 professional, you can no longer enter Level 1 dungeons or the Abyss.
"This... might not be possible for others, but since you've achieved the Abyss achievement, it's not a bad idea to open up Hell level dungeons directly to you." "
Okay, then I'll trouble Secretary Li."
After discussing, Li Feng sent some dungeon information to Gu Chen and then went to arrange for dungeon quotas and the opening of Hell level difficulty.
Gu Chen returned to his large apartment and called Lin Yuan and the others out.
Lin Yuan, Lin Qingqing, and Su Ran weren't from Wancheng, so for convenience, the three of them stayed in Gu Chen's apartment. After all,
it was a large apartment with plenty of rooms, so accommodation was not a problem at all.
The team for this dungeon remained the same as before.
Xu Xia was also among them.
Last time in the Hell-level Boneyard, Gu Chen had obtained an epic Eternal Source Crystal, which Xu Xia had purchased for five million.
According to him, with this material, he can develop a new generation of MARK21 armor.
The reason why he wanted to follow Gu Chen into the dungeon was to try out the combat capabilities of the new generation of armor.
Gu Chen agreed directly to this.
Xu Xia can make up the number of people without sharing the experience. Moreover, Gu Chen is also curious about the new generation of MARK21 armor.
This is a world where everyone can change their job. Is Iron Man coming?
