There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 483, Can You Sleep? (Planning!)

[Heavenly Book]

Quality: Mythical

Type: Strange Object

Effect: Calling Lightning

Introduction: My anger transforms into thunder.

"May the Thunder God help me!"

This is the first mythical-quality artifact that Xiao Yang has obtained.

The effect is very simple and straightforward, if I had to describe it...

"Thunder Lord, help me!"

With this mythical-quality artifact, there shouldn't be any problems in defeating the Greedy Stomach.

This celestial book is somewhat peculiar; for some reason, it did not respond at all to Xiao Yang's touch.

It seems that there is no intelligence present.

Touching the yellowed blue book, Xiao Yang felt only an overwhelming rage within it.

Xiao Yang has acquired another divine artifact.

In addition to the Silver Crossbow, the Dawn Lamp, the Whistle of Yugos, the Deep Blue Chant, and the Silver Crown, there is one more item today: a green-covered celestial book.

"The level of extravagance has reached a new level."

A total of six divine artifacts.

Actually, more than that.

There is also a Holy Grail that Xiao Yang will not carry with him.

There was also the Five Internal Organs Ascension Pendant, which Xiao Yang had absolutely no use for.

Xiao Yang's wealth is becoming increasingly outrageous.

The injuries were still too severe; otherwise, Xiao Yang would have wanted to test the effects of the Heavenly Book on the spot.

Before the joyful expression on Xiao Yang's face had completely faded after he finished doing all this, suddenly, dark blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Yang grunted.

Before his injuries had even healed, he raised the giant axe high once again, which aggravated Xiao Yang's injuries once more.

He coughed once.

Black blood dripped into the void, and a round eyeball appeared. Before its shape was even determined, its enormous mouth was already formed.

The very first thing he said was...

"Great Creator!"

Impatiently waving his arm, he used the celestial book in his hand to slap it, and with a crackling sound, the strange eyeball was completely obliterated into the void.

"Using an electric mosquito swatter to kill mosquitoes?"

That's definitely a feeling I have.

We really need to take a good break.

Xiao Yang prepared to leave.

He failed to notice the world's will that dared not interrupt.

They also failed to notice the extremely aggrieved expression on His face.

Poor.

………….

Inside the Skull Dungeon, in front of the tall and sacred statue of the goddess.

Don't know why.

Xiao Yang seems to have become addicted to blaspheming goddesses.

He particularly liked using the base of the tall goddess statue as the backrest of a sofa.

Today is no different.

For the first time in a long time, Xiao Yang wanted to take a nap.

He couldn't even remember the last time he had slept.

Leaning against the cold stone wall, his eyelids kept drooping, he yawned, and felt drowsy.

at this time.

Xiao Gu finished her preparations and appeared beside Xiao Yang fully armed.

This posture suggests that preparations are being made for a sacred cause.

"It is ready to stand guard for Xiao Yang."

Xiao Yang kept yawning, but was reluctant to go to sleep.

Finally, Lena arrived late, carrying a bowl of honey water.

With his eyelids drooping, Xiao Yang gave instructions to Lena.

"If anything happens, call me immediately. This injury is nothing; I still have other tricks up my sleeve!"

While emphasizing this, Xiao Yang drank the honey water that Lena handed him.

Before he could finish speaking, there was suddenly no sound.

"The great savior is asleep."

Sleep soundly.

………….

The players of Tidefall were happy amidst that extremely enthusiastic and meticulously planned arrangement.

That massive player-versus-player battle hadn't been over for very long.

New content has been released once again.

Moreover, this content is aimed at all levels of casual gamers.

It's not just for those pioneers who are already out there in real dungeons and outsmarting NPCs, but for all players, from newbies to veterans.

The Savior's Dungeon Cleanup Plan

Recently, the corpse mushrooms in the Skeleton Dungeon have become quite rampant.

The excessive mushrooms even disrupted normal production in the Skeleton Dungeon.

The dead wandering in the Skull Dungeon have complained more than once about the mushrooms sprouting from their bodies.

"My ribs are covered in the mycelium of those damn mushrooms!"

This matter was actually easy to resolve, but Xiao Yang had already gone to sleep.

Mission Objective: Clear the overrun of corpse mushrooms.

Rewards: The teachings of the dead in the dungeon, and a one-time increase in the chance to choose from the Hero's Treasury.
Note: Death during special missions will not result in the loss of resurrection opportunities.

Introduction: The great savior is currently very troubled; too many mushrooms are sprouting in his dungeon.

This event, even just a preliminary promotion, has already attracted the attention of a large number of casual gamers.

"The pioneers who conquered the real dungeons, the pioneers who fought on the front lines of the Rotten Lands, and even the laid-back players who focused on life simulation gameplay were all attracted to it."

Those who ventured into the real dungeons rarely returned to the Rotten Lands.

Because the growth in the Decaying Lands provides them with too little effective feedback, and their equipment is not interchangeable.

However, this mission's rewards include a Hero's Treasury selection reward.

The three who received this precious opportunity last time all made a great name for themselves during this period. Even Gao Bo, who was unknown at the beginning, has recently become a key figure in the Evil God's Calamity.

Such a precious opportunity is now right in front of everyone, so it's impossible not to miss it.

However, in their eagerness, they may not have noticed a very subtle note.

"The final interpretation of this reward belongs to Tide Games."

The savior hasn't agreed to open his treasure vault yet.

………….

In a dirty, messy repair shop on the edge of the industrial zone in the City of Hope.

A young man brandished a wrench in his hand while muttering something in dissatisfaction.

"Damn it, I tighten screws all day in real life, and now I'm still tightening screws all day in the game!"

Various massive and sophisticated magical machines, despite having such high-end names as magical energy, actually seem to be quite similar in most aspects, except for a few of the most critical areas.

"Gears, engine oil, drive rods."

"Wrench, electric drill, repair hammer."

It's a real physical job.

With a heavy blow, even though he was already a semi-retired old man, he couldn't be treated roughly.

The crooked screws were put back in place.

The complex metal structure was re-riveted.

Push the switch.

"As long as it can move!"

Leave this message: Repair complete!
After doing all this, the muscular mechanical mage pushed a blue cigarette towards him.

This is not tobacco, but a special kind of menthol cigarette.

I lit it and took a puff; a wave of icy coolness rushed to my head.

"Kid, you're not bad, at least you're not like those guys who make you wonder if there's a pig living in your head."

Are you interested in learning from me?

Huang Fei was also taken aback by this offer.

He didn't agree immediately; with the lit menthol cigarette in his hand, his mind seemed to be working much faster than usual.

His gaze fell on the guy next to him who looked more like a berserker than a mage.

He was lost in thought.

With the development of magical energy technology, especially driven by the exaggerated and terrifying war needs of the City of Hope, massive and terrifying military factories have emerged, giving rise to a very special type of mage.

"Mechanical Mage".

This profession is very prosperous, but more traditional mages generally do not acknowledge the existence of this branch.

The main difference is that compared to traditional businessmen, these mechanical mages are much more athletic.

Every day I deal with magical machinery; the pungent grease is an inescapable part of my body. My daily work involves either wielding a wrench or a hammer. Just like this one in front of me.

He has exaggerated biceps, always carries a heavy repair hammer at his waist, and his face is so dark that you can't see his features, but when he smiles, you can clearly see his white teeth.

He's probably more adept at delivering a heavy blow to an enemy's head while wearing full armor than using magic.

Becoming a mage is already a very rare and precious achievement.

"Want to become a mechanical mage?"

While deep in thought, the menthol cigarette in my hand burned out, and my mind lost its previous spark of inspiration.

A brief pause.

"it is good!"

Huang Fei ultimately gave this answer.

The moment the sound fell.

A heavy slap landed on his shoulder.

"Wise choice!"

"Let's go fix that one too!"

Huang Fei immediately regretted it.

One day passed.

Wielding the repair hammer, Huang Fei, whose hand was already numb from swinging, finally made a loud noise in his dazed state.

"I'm not going to be a casual gamer anymore!"

He's really had enough!

Even when fighting monsters in the wilderness, don't use screws anymore!

"Even if it means death, I want to enjoy that moment of freedom!"

In this simple repair shop, Huang Fei suddenly stood up and, amidst the bewildered expressions of his fellow workers, waved his arms and spoke resolutely.

The mechanical mage noticed Huang Fei's speech.

Then I watched him walk towards me step by step.

The hammer in his hand was put down.

"I quit!"

After doing all this with unwavering resolve, he left with resolute determination.

In this regard.

The mechanical mage showed no surprise or anger; his eyes were unreadable, as if he had thought of something.

After leaving the repair shop, Huang Fei pondered a question.

How can I take the first step towards freedom?

Our attention has turned to the recently launched events.

"That's it!"

Let's start with this event dungeon where there's no penalty for death!

Select to participate and begin the transfer.

Throughout this process, he was filled with ambition and excitement.

You see, ever since he was suddenly chosen by the Tidefall game, became a player, came to the Rotten Land, and learned that the game had severe death penalties, he has never left the City of Hope.

In reality, he did not reveal that he had become a slacker gamer.

"They've been tightening screws all along."

In the game, he got a job at a repair shop because of his skill in screwing in screws.

"Then I kept screwing things in."

So, during the day he would screw in screws in the real world, and at night he would fall asleep and come to the Rotten Land to screw in screws again.

Day by day passed.

He felt like he was rotting away.

"Start living a new life from this event dungeon!"

"I want to fight!"

Transmission completed.

They appeared in the dimly lit dungeon.

He saw the monster in this event instance: a white mushroom tip sticking out of the ground.

To be on the safe side, he first carefully searched the vicinity of the spawn point and found a set of rotten leather armor and a short sword.

Now we have weapons, we have armor, we have everything we need!

"A perfect start!"

Next comes the battle.

He let out a breath, feeling a little nervous about the battle that was about to begin.

After all, he had been fixing screws all this time.

But thinking back on the experience of constantly tightening screws during this period, the tension was quickly suppressed.

His gaze became sharp and ruthless.

"This sword is called 'Ten Years of Screw-Making in a Factory'!"

Marching forward with great strides.

To be fair, his attributes are actually not bad, but physical labor is still very demanding.

It might actually make him succeed.

"Defeat the mushrooms in front of you, get lucky and some equipment will drop, start getting stronger and transform into a real combat player."

is it possible?
The mushroom, which had been burying itself underground, sensed his approach.

If Xiao Yang were here, he might find the exposed mushroom tip familiar.

But he will likely feel unfamiliar with it afterward.

The mushroom turned its head, burst out of the ground, and threw a punch at Huang Fei.

"Huang Fei fell."

"One-Punch Man Mushroom?"

Huang Fei was punched so hard that he was torn to pieces and experienced full-blown pain.

Not long after, on the streets of Hope City, Huang Fei clutched his stomach, struggling in the intense phantom pain.

Some people questioned the meaning of life, while others were indignant.

Each player has three chances to participate in the event dungeon per day.

"Come again!"

the second time.

Huang Fei was lifted up by a group of mushrooms and planted in the ground.

the third time.

Huang Fei is dead.

Lying down on the streets of Hope City, surrounded by people coming and going, Huang Fei looked up at the sky with a somewhat bewildered expression.

He muttered to himself.

"Is this what combat players are like?"

Not long after, he returned to the dirty and messy repair shop.

He approached the mechanical mage with his head down.

The mechanical mage seemed unfazed by his return, patting him on the shoulder.

"Just come back!"

A repair hammer was handed to me.

Huang Fei finally raised his head at this moment.

He had probably resigned himself to his fate and stopped struggling.

As he took the repair hammer, tears streamed down his face. He didn't know if it was because of the mechanical mage's encouragement or because he had finally resigned himself to his fate.

"Teacher, I want to be a repair mage!"

"it is good."

A poor guy's dream was shattered.

………….

It has to be said, these mushrooms in the Skull Dungeon are really something else.

This might be related to the fact that Xiao Yang treated them as some kind of special succulent.

He would occasionally drag some monster corpses back from outside, and then look at these corpse mushrooms and chew them up.

It was inexplicably very stress-relieving.

It's tough on the players who are now in the Skeleton Dungeon.

The level of the corpses Xiao Yang dragged back was unimaginable. Having grown up eating these things, it would be difficult for these corpse mushrooms not to be powerful.

Huang Fei is not the first player whose defense has been broken by One-Punch Super Mushroom.

On the Tide Game Forum, complaints about these mushrooms are rampant.

"Just how twisted is the owner of this dungeon?!"

"Are these even real mushrooms?!"

"My high-quality tower shield got its wire broken by a single punch!"

"Planning! Where are you planning this?! I can't sleep! How can you sleep?!"

"My shield! It's brand new!"

The above is excerpted from a poor tank player.

Xiao Yang was unaware of all of this and took no responsibility for it.

He slept soundly.
