Life Dungeon Game

For example, the main mission requirements are actually quite simple: rescue Christos, destroy the Witch Church's sacrificial array, and then wait for the Dawn City Government or the FBI to eliminate the Witch of Desire's body.

If Heo only disrupts the sacrificial ritual, then goes backstage to withstand the dancers' attacks until Selena arrives, takes Christos out so Selena can send him away, and then waits for the main force to come and kill the Desire Witch's body, his mission will be complete.

Even the two main quests can get relatively high ratings.

However, the consequence of doing so is that it will be virtually impossible for him to get high ratings in side quests and hidden quests.

If He Ao doesn't intervene, those spectators will become the food of the Desire Witch after she descends. Given Selena's personality, she will likely attack the Desire Witch's body at all costs, ultimately resulting in serious injury or even death during the mission.

More importantly, judging from the system's mission description, if the Witch of Desire obtains these blood offerings, it could trigger an even larger massacre before the FBI and the Dawn City government arrive with their support.

Because he saved those people and prevented a potential massacre, he took...

The side quest has reached an SS rating.

At the same time, he also completed the hidden mission.

Roy's wish was actually Inor's last wish. Because Inor had always lived in darkness, she always hoped that her child would be different from her.

So he told Roy many hero stories when he was a child.

This led Roy to maintain a simple idealism in his thinking as an adult, to the point that he set very low prices for the products sold by his company, hoping to allow more people to enjoy better products.

But idealism cannot withstand the onslaught of a cruel world. The Nord Foundation bribed his fiancée to obtain his business intelligence, then defeated his company by selling copies below cost and acquired his patents.

After achieving market dominance, the Nord Group immediately used its monopoly advantage to sell the product at a high price and obtain excess profits.

All of this made Roy feel that his idealism was even somewhat ridiculous.

Bankruptcy, homelessness, and devastation left Roy devastated, turning him into a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it conveys a sense of listlessness, apathy, and apathy) middle-aged man. However, his ideals were not actually extinguished; they were simply obscured by the bleak reality.

He Ao turned his gaze away from the system subtitles.

In fact, the first and third official missions are related.

Ander and Viana are both from Kaya City.

Based on the clues and timeline that He Ao has obtained, about five years ago, Vianna's grandfather, who was in Kaya City, made basic progress in his research on gene-based drugs. After that, Roy's father, Inor, was hired by the Nord Foundation to infiltrate Vianna's grandfather's research institute as a bodyguard in an attempt to steal technical data.

Meanwhile, the Witch Church, hired by another conglomerate, went to assassinate Viana's grandfather and destroy his research findings.

The dancer served as a supervisor in this incident.

Ultimately, Viana's grandfather was killed, Inor rescued Viana, escaped back to Dawn City, and left her estate to Roy.

Meanwhile, Mushu, who had been tracking the dancer, arrived in Kaya City, where he encountered Ander's parents who were out prospecting for minerals, and killed them to please the God of Chaos.

After his parents were murdered, Ender studied hard and joined the FBI during college to secretly investigate the cause of his parents' deaths. He was later assigned to Dawn City to join Selena's Criminal Investigation Team 2, where he met the dancer and Mushu. This is the story of his first official mission.

Then the Witch Church found Roy in their hunt for Vianna, and that's the story of the third official quest.

This five-year-long event involved three families and two evil priests. Of these three families and two priests, only Viana survived. The cause of the event was simply that two conglomerates wanted to seize Viana's grandfather's gene serum, and each used illegal means.

Of course, the whole incident involves a variety of factors and is not that simple.

He Ao sighed, and the system subtitles in his field of vision slowly changed.

[Task rewards are being calculated.]

The original reward for this quest was: Talent Sequence 7: Spectator

Because your overall task rating is S, and all individual task ratings are above S,

Furthermore, your single task rating reached SSS, triggering an ultra-luxurious reward bonus.

[Since you achieved S, SS, and SSS ratings in a single task but your overall rating did not reach SS, congratulations on obtaining the achievement 'Master of Score Control']

[Congratulations on triggering the 'Master of Scores' achievement: If you achieve an SSS rating in one of your individual tasks, and at least three tasks have progressively higher ratings with an overall S rating, you will receive a random bonus as part of your task rewards.]

[Refreshing your rewards.]

Refresh successful

Please choose one of the following three rewards:

【1. Talent Sequence 29: Mercenary (E-rank) (Gift: 'Talent Sequence 56: Assassin' Elixir Recipe (D-rank))】

[2. Ultra-high simulation prosthetic body (E-level) (Bonus: Critical laser cannon firing device (can damage D-level and even some C-level, after use the body will temporarily lose control due to overclocking))]

【3. Heaven and Earth Qi (E-rank) (Gift: A wisp of 'Primordial Qi' (cannot help with breakthroughs, but can be used))】

It is still arranged in the order of talent sequence, mechanical modification, and martial arts, which are the three training methods.

This time, the achievement 'Master of Score Control' was triggered, which resulted in an upgrade to the rewards in a certain sense.

However, He Ao glanced at it and realized that this achievement could only be used in very few situations. It was basically equivalent to a special reward for achieving SS in a single task but not SS in the overall evaluation.

If possible, He Ao wouldn't want this score control master; he'd just give him an SS overall rating and raise his critical hit rate to another level. He wouldn't be picky.

It's a pity that it can't be replaced.

He focused his attention on the three rewards in his field of vision.

Chapter 137 Refining Essence into Qi (Please subscribe, add to your favorites, and vote with monthly tickets)

All three missions offer E-grade rewards, or more precisely, rewards between E and D-grade.

The 'Mercenary' is an E-rank talent sequence, but it comes with a secret medicine recipe for a D-rank talent sequence. The 'Cybernetic Body' is also an E-rank cybernetic body, but it comes with a laser cannon that can damage D-rank or even C-rank individuals.

The third martial arts-related option is pretty much the same; it grants a wisp of 'qi' that's only available upon breaking through to D-rank.

As usual, mechanical modification is the first thing to be ruled out.

Although prosthetics appear to be the strongest of the three options, capable of damaging C-rank targets, mechanical modification is not realistic until suitable prosthetic repair tools and replaceable parts become available in the main world.

Ultimately, mechanical engineering relies too heavily on external technology and lacks a clear path for self-improvement.

Talent sequences can be advanced by collecting recipes and materials to concoct secret medicines, and martial arts can be advanced through diligent practice. However, mechanical modification cannot be improved by oneself and can only rely on external items, which makes He Ao feel very insecure.

His experiences from childhood taught him that, many times, one can only rely on oneself.

Then He Ao turned his attention to the other two options. He had already tried the 'mercenary' option in the dungeon. It could quickly improve physical fitness, increase physical flexibility and affinity with firearms, and enhance the five senses to some extent.

I wonder if the 'mercenaries' rewarded by the system will come with 'spectators' as well. If they do, the enhancement of the five senses will be even stronger.

Overall, 'mercenaries' are very useful and well-suited to the modern social environment, which is the kind of extraordinary sequence that He Ao likes.

Then He Ao chose

The two energies of heaven and earth.

Mercenaries have obvious advantages, but also obvious disadvantages.

It can enhance physical fitness, and martial arts can also enhance physical fitness; it can provide gun affinity, and Heo already has a 'basic gun proficiency' skill; it can enhance the five senses, and hyper memory can see the world from a higher dimension.

It's a good skill, but in every aspect of its advantages, He'ao already has a better skill to replace it, making its advantages seem somewhat useless.

Of course, from another perspective, 'mercenaries' can also improve each of He's skills to some extent, but compared to these minor improvements, He's prefer to have one of his skills significantly enhanced.

For example, martial arts.

This also leaves the talent sequence slot empty, allowing us to explore for better talent sequences in the future.

He Ao's current skills include Super Memory, which provides combat analysis, temporary boosts to combat power, and close-to-mid-range mental attacks; Basic Firearms Proficiency, combined with firearms, ensures his ability to launch long-range physical attacks; and Martial Arts ensures his close-combat ability.

Therefore, He Ao's ideal talent sequence skills are either ranged magic attack skills that can make up for his own shortcomings, or special auxiliary skills that can create a certain invincible state.

Of course, having a healer skill would be great too.

This way he has all four classes: mage, warrior, support, and ranged archer.

It can heal, control, output damage, and withstand damage.

As He Ao's thoughts shifted,

The system text in his field of vision gradually disappeared, and two powerful forces appeared in his throat and chest.

He immediately focused his attention, drawing these two energies together.

There was another important reason why he chose the "two energies of heaven and earth": he wanted to try to break through to the D level directly in martial arts. Instead of choosing an ability that was between the E level and the D level, he wanted to directly obtain a D level ability.

The name 'Heaven and Earth Qi' itself is a hint. In order to advance from E-level to D-level in martial arts and cultivate the first strand of 'Qi' that belongs to oneself, one must simultaneously gather a large amount of Heaven and Earth Qi within one's body.

In the real world, 'weather' can only be obtained at dawn, and He'ao hasn't even found a stable way to obtain 'earth energy' yet.

Therefore, this "two energies of heaven and earth" is very likely the only opportunity at present for martial arts to quickly break through to the D level.

Two opposing energies converged in He'ao's chest cavity. He'ao calmed down and carefully guided them into his limbs.

His current soul power is far stronger than it was during the Regito era, and he is much more adept at manipulating these energies, thus avoiding the waste of a large amount of energy.

During the martial arts initiation, he made sure to first nourish his internal organs. Strengthening the remaining limbs was relatively easy, and with the convergence of these two immense forces, the limbs were gradually strengthened.

何奥的身体素质开始迅速上涨80···81···82···83···84···85···

It eventually stopped at 100.

100 is the limit of level E. At this level, the limbs and internal organs will no longer absorb energy.

The next step is to break through.

He Ao took a deep breath and began to draw the Qi of Heaven and Earth within his body to gather at the center of his collarbone, then upwards through his throat, behind his ear, above his ear, and back to his throat. After that, he went downwards, through his left hand, left side of his body, and left leg, back to his groin, and then along his right leg, right side of his body, and right hand, back to his chest cavity.

The system provided the two energies of heaven and earth, which dissipated very slowly, so He Ao had enough time to operate.

In fact, He Ao had already broken through once by manipulating Rigid's body in the dungeon world, but he did so under immense pressure, so his actions were inevitably a bit too extreme and the risk factor was very high.

Now that he has enough energy and is in a safe enough position, he can try the new methods he learned during the martial arts initiation.

He slowly combined the two extremely subtle energies of heaven and earth that had passed through various parts of his body, and then with a slight pressure, these two energies dispersed into five different energies. He then guided these five subtle energies through the five internal organs and finally gathered them seven or eight centimeters below his navel.

He then released the guidance, and the five energies gradually remained there. Although they dissipated, the dissipation was extremely slow.

really.

He Ao breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that this method is safe and feasible, and it should be the truly safe way to practice martial arts.

After his first success, He Aoyi followed suit, channeling all the energy in his chest and throat like ants carrying food, little by little, through his body and internal organs, eventually transforming it into five different energies—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—that converged below his navel.
