The buff is permanent, and you start the game with a fountain of water.

Huan Cheng was unaware that his unexpected upgrade had shattered Han Feng's heart.

In fact, he didn't want to level up at all. The higher the level, the more difficult it was to complete the talent advancement. If the level calculation wasn't based on his own highest historical level, he would have wanted to commit suicide and go back to the newbie village.

Unfortunately, killing monsters to gain experience is one of the fundamental rules of the Divine Realm, and Huan Cheng has no way to change it, so he can only accept this reality.

Just as I was about to check the spoils of this battle, several system notifications came to my ears.

"Ding! Congratulations on killing the leader of the Gale Bandits. You have completed the quest [Eliminate the Gale Bandits]. Please proceed to the City Lord's Mansion quest hall to claim your quest reward."

"Ding, Qingyang City area announcement: Player Chengfeng has successfully defeated the Gale Bandit Gang and opened the dungeon [Gale Bandit Camp]. Players level 15 and above can participate. Each entry requires a fee of 100 copper coins."

"Ding! As the initiator of the [Swiftwind Bandit Camp] dungeon, you will automatically receive one percent of the entry fee paid by each player who enters the dungeon as your personal income."

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this notification, Huan Cheng was slightly taken aback, then quickly opened the system to check if the so-called "duplicate" was what he understood it to be.

A moment later, Huan Cheng closed the panel, his face beaming with barely suppressed joy.

According to the system's explanation, a dungeon option will be unlocked on the attribute panel of all Qingyang City players. As long as they meet the level requirement of level 15, they can apply to enter the dungeon.

Players can participate solo or in a group. Each player must pay a 100-copper-coin entrance fee per session. The instance ends when a player dies or completes the instance.

In the dungeon, all the rogues' strength has been greatly reduced.

The starting level for regular thieves has been reduced from 20 to 15, and the starting level for thief bosses has been changed from Bronze to Elite.

As for the bandit leader, he was demoted to a level 20 bronze boss.

In addition, the monsters in dungeons are more rigid and mechanical than wild monsters, making them more player-friendly.

In addition to the loot dropped by monsters, this dungeon also offers extra experience rewards, which is a godsend for the many players who are struggling to level up and getting wrecked by monsters.

Of course, this was even better news for Huan Cheng.

Each player who enters the instance receives a net reward of 1 copper coin.

What does this mean?

In Qingyang City right now, no one can say exactly how many players there are, but the number of active online combat players every day is at least five million.

There is currently only one instance of this dungeon!

Even if only one-tenth of the people enter the dungeon each day, he can still collect 50 copper coins, which is equivalent to 50 gold coins!

This is still the most conservative estimate. Given players' enthusiasm for the Divine Realm, they will definitely explore the dungeons if given the opportunity.

Glancing at the Ring of Greed on his right hand, Huan Cheng thought to himself that he could finally wear it with peace of mind from now on, and no longer have to worry about being bankrupted by this damn ring.

While he was pondering, system notifications started flooding the screen like a waterfall. Upon closer inspection, they were all messages about someone entering the dungeon [Swiftwind Bandit Camp] and automatically receiving 1 copper coin.

In no time, he had more than ten silver coins in his pocket, after which the increase gradually stopped.

The main issue is that the current player level is still quite low; there are only a few thousand players in Qingyang City who meet the criteria.

In a few days, once the players level up, that's when the revenue will explode.

Huan Cheng had just blocked these kinds of messages when he received a message from Yun Xi.

"Wow, you're awesome! Do you have any exclusive insider tips?"

Huan Cheng thought for a moment and replied, "It's alright. The overall difficulty isn't high, except for the final boss, which is a bit tough."

Before Yunxi could ask further, he added, "The final boss is an assassin. He can become invisible, can teleport, and his attacks have critical hits and true damage. Try to counter him, and that's about it."

"By the way, there are two guards at the BOSS's entrance. Their attacks have a stun and knockback effect, so we need to be careful."

Yunxi: "???"

"Are you even speaking human language?" Yunxi sent a speechless emoji, then launched into a barrage of criticism: "Invisibility, teleportation, critical hits, true damage, stun—and you call that nothing? You call that simple?"

Huan Cheng was about to speak when he suddenly realized that he had underestimated the special effects of the three skills: Abyss Power, Abyss Body, and Abyss Breath.

Put yourself in his shoes. If he hadn't been able to see through the bandit leader's stealth, and if he hadn't been immune to critical hits and true damage, even with endless regeneration, he wouldn't have been able to withstand that brutal attack.

These effects may seem insignificant on their own, but in actual combat they often play a decisive role.

After reassessing the Lord of the Abyss, Huan Cheng said to Yun Xi, "Don't worry too much. I fought a level 25 silver boss. The dungeon has been weakened to a level 20 bronze boss, so the difficulty isn't as high as you might think. With your abilities, soloing it shouldn't be a problem if you make some preparations."

After waiting for a while, Huan Cheng finally saw Yun Xi's reply.

"abnormal!"

Huan Cheng chuckled, closed the communication interface, and began to review the results of the battle.

First and foremost is the progress of the "Slaying Gods and Destroying Demons" project, which is of utmost concern to him.

The progress of the Silver level has increased by one, now reaching 2/10.

The changes at the Bronze level are even greater. Including the two Bronze level guards, Huan Cheng killed a total of eight Bronze BOSSes this time, advancing the progress to 72/100.

Aside from these, the biggest gain was the equipment.

There were 21 bronze artifacts of level 20, two silver artifacts, a scroll, and a token.

There's not much to say about the bronzes; just pick a few usable pieces to replace them, and Huan Cheng can examine the rest at his leisure.

【Swift Blade】: Level 25 Silver Weapon, Physical Attack +321, Critical Hit Rate +5%, Critical Hit Damage +20%, Attack Speed ​​+15%. Additional Attribute: Agility +40. Additional Special Effect: Backstab.

[Backstab]: Hitting a target from behind increases damage by 30%, up to a maximum of 2000 points.

Equipment requirements: Assassin class, Agility attribute greater than 150.

"That's really strong!"

Looking at the attributes of the Gale Blade, Huan Cheng's mouth watered.

His Ripper Blade only adds a little over 200 attack, while the Gale Blade, as a dagger, adds over 300, plus attack speed and critical strike chance, and also has the very useful backstab effect.

He possesses the Abyss Body trait, granting him the privilege of wearing equipment regardless of class requirements. He can even meet the 150 Agility requirement, so getting equipment isn't impossible.

After glancing at the dagger, which was less than a foot long, and then at the Ripper's Blade, which was over a meter long, Huan Cheng reluctantly put the dagger into his backpack.

He really wasn't used to using a dagger!

Besides the dagger, there was also a shirt.

[Swift Wind Attire]: Level 25 Silver Equipment, Physical Defense +135, Magic Defense +135, Movement Speed ​​+5, Stealth Effect +20%. Additional Attributes: Constitution +20, Agility +30. Additional Effect: Feign Death.

[Feign Death]: When your health drops to zero, there is a 10% chance to avoid death and restore 100 health. You cannot move or use skills or items for 3 seconds after triggering this effect.

Equipment requirements: Assassin class, Agility attribute greater than 150.

"Why are they never releasing warrior gear?"

Looking at the swift-wind outfit, Huan Cheng muttered something to himself with some dissatisfaction.

After tossing the Swiftwind Armor into his ring to keep the Swiftwind Blade company, Huan Cheng's gaze fell upon the scroll.

【Shadow Assassin Job Change Scroll】: A one-time use item that allows you to change your job to the two-star special job, Shadow Assassin.

"Wuhu!"

Upon seeing the scroll, Huan Cheng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Qing Ao had said long ago that special professions are not only obtained through the Profession Temple.

The Divine Realm Continent is filled with countless talented and extraordinary individuals, many of whom are eccentric and unwilling to be bound by the six major professional guilds. Naturally, they will not leave their legacy to the professional guilds.

Clearly, Huan Cheng has encountered such a scroll of inheritance today.

He has five more similar career scrolls, all of which are legendary five-star career scrolls!

However, the scrolls on his body can only be inherited after completing a trial, and the trial is extremely difficult, so only a peerless genius should consider it.

According to the mission description, the scroll will automatically prompt him when he encounters someone qualified to accept the challenge.

However, to this day, the five reels remain as if they were dead, and there has never been a single sign of activity.

This Shadow Assassin scroll is different. Although the level is not high, it has the advantage of not having to go through trials and can directly change to a two-star assassin.

This is very tempting for those big-time dog owners who lack ability but have plenty of money.

As Huan Cheng rolled up the scroll, his breath caught in his throat when he looked at the last token.

[Guild Token]: Holders can apply to establish a guild at the City Lord's Mansion.
