Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

……

Six hours later, a glimmer of light finally appeared ahead of the Gold Digger.

You have entered the 11th level of the Earth's core.

[Hint: Starting from level 11 of the Earth's core, you will enter a cross-server public area where you may encounter players from other newbie zones.]

"Public areas?"

Lin You sat in the driver's seat, raised an eyebrow when she saw the notification in front of her.

"Just as Tyron said in his post."

"Starting from the 11th floor, it is no longer the beginner area."

"Anyway... let's proceed with caution for now."

Lin You didn't rush to dig; instead, he first opened the mini-map and radar to observe the surrounding environment.

The map marked his current location, which was a very ordinary layer of rock and soil.

There were no traces of the purple decaying land around, and the air was filled with the scent of earth and moss.

"After being in the corrupt land for so long, it's finally time to return to a normal environment."

"Hmm... this should be the location of the Rockhammer tribe."

Lin You noticed a marker about 100 kilometers away from his location.

Rockhammer Settlement

"Not too far... but not too close either."

Lin You estimated that, given the Gold Digger's digging speed, it should be able to arrive today.

"Perfect timing, let's go ask the dwarves for some information first."

After arriving at the 11th level of the Earth's core, Lin You decided to first gather intelligence as part of her plan of action.

The first phase of the "Rebuilding Terra Blade" quest requires you to find the Underground Jungle, the Crimson Land, and the Lava Zone.

Dwarves, skilled in mining and forging, should be familiar with these terrains.

As for the "Magic Light Sword" which needs to be crafted using Shadow Magic Ore.

After defeating several World Devourers, Lin You had plenty of materials and had already made the product.

……

【Magic Light Sword】

Grade: 10 (Blue)

Damage: 32~64

【Effect ①: Attacks penetrate 5 points of defense】

【Effect 1: Generates an additional slash upon attack, dealing 50% damage】

……

The Magic Light Sword has pretty good stats.

Not only does it have excellent base damage, but it also has two useful special effects.

The importance of defense against penetration is beyond doubt, and Lin You certainly doesn't need more.

The second effect can significantly increase output!

Lin You tested it with monsters from the Corrupted Lands.

The extra slashes generated by the Magic Light Sword can automatically track enemies within range.

It also has an attack penetration effect, which can cause area damage.

Whether clearing out weaker enemies or dealing with powerful foes, it is highly efficient.

"Just one component of the 'Terra Blade' is already this powerful..."

As Lin You sighed, he steered the Gold Digger's digging direction.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the Gold Digger was moving a bit slower.

Probably because the warehouse was packed full of supplies...

Or perhaps it's related to having an extra carriage.

That's right, the Gold Rush now has one locomotive and two carriages.

The new carriages are a named reward from the Order of Light district.

The front of the Gold Rush truck served as both the driver's cab and his bedroom.

The first carriage was half filled with pots of fluorescent tulips.

The other half consists of various crafting tables, such as anvils, furnaces, advanced workbenches, and so on.

As for the new carriages... Lin You hasn't figured out how to use them yet.

"How about adding some more furnaces or planting pots?"

"However, I am not short of low-grade minerals and metal ingots, nor am I short of fuel."

"Never mind, let's talk about it when we need it."

After traveling for about forty minutes, the rock face ahead suddenly became bright.

Lin You slowed down and glanced at the control panel.

……

[Dig forward, consuming 20 fuel]

(Additional information: There is an altar of the Goddess of Light in the subterranean space ahead. Completing the trial will grant you generous rewards.)

……

"Another altar of the gods."

Lin You's eyes lit up, and he immediately began digging forward.

The Trials of the Gods event should have just begun.

After reaching the 11th level of the Earth's core, it is indeed easy to encounter altars of the gods.

boom!

Amidst flying debris, the Gold Rush ship sailed into a radiant, inner Earth space.

A white altar stands in the open space at the end of the passage.

The altar is made entirely of pure white stone, and its surface is covered with a soft golden halo.

The light was not dazzling; instead, it brought a sense of peace and tranquility.

Some unidentified white flowers grew around the altar, swaying gently in the dim light.

Lin You parked the Gold Rusher at the edge of the altar and jumped off.

As soon as he approached, a message automatically popped up on the altar in front of him.

……

[Altar of the Goddess of Light (Activated)]

[Note: Challengers who complete the Trial of the Goddess of Light will receive generous rewards.]

[Trial Content: Within a designated area, dodge attacks from beams of light falling from the sky. The longer you survive, the greater the reward.]

[Current Status: Players are currently undergoing trials]

……

"Is someone already here?"

Lin You was slightly taken aback.

He looked up at the center of the altar and saw a figure fighting there.

The man moved quickly, constantly dodging beams of light that fell from the sky.

However, judging from his increasingly flustered steps, he was already somewhat stretched thin.

That player had clearly noticed Lin You's arrival.

His movements became visibly stiffer, and he would occasionally glance in Lin You's direction.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not going to cause trouble."

Lin You shrugged.

"If I get this distracted, the already limited opportunity to dodge might be..."

As expected, the trial players were distracted, and their previously steady movements finally showed flaws.

A beam of pure white light descended from the sky, striking his shoulder and causing him to stumble.

More beams of light followed, continuously striking the player.

After being hit a certain number of times.

The pillar of light on the altar gradually disappeared, and the challenge ended.

[Trial Ended]

Your reward has been calculated based on the number of waves you withdrew from.

[Received: 1 Free Attribute Point]

[Received: Small Life Potion x1]

[Received: 1 Silver Coins]

[You have already received the blessing of the Goddess of Light and cannot challenge again.]

"Grass!"

Upon seeing the prompt, the player's face turned ashen.

As he stepped down from the altar, he gave Lin You a fierce look.

His eyes held obvious dissatisfaction and defensiveness.

"You were distracted, is that my fault?"

Lin You shrugged, not taking it to heart.

He walked up to the altar and stepped onto a clean marble floor.

The surface of the altar immediately lit up with a soft white light.

The Altar of the Goddess of Light has been activated.

[Start the trial?]

"Yes."

Lin You took a deep breath, her expression becoming serious, ready to dodge the beam of light at any moment.

Through his observations, he has already discovered some patterns.

Before the beam of light falls, there will be gradually condensing spots of light on the ground.

There is a time difference of about 0.5 seconds between the light spot converging and the light beam falling.

As long as you pay attention to this point and don't panic, you should be able to get a relatively high reward.

As for how long they can last... that depends on the player's concentration.

Lin You secretly noted this down, preparing to write an attack strategy.

He's already planned the topic for his new strategy post: "How to Get Freebies from the Gods."

Now, all you need to do is undergo a trial yourself to gain more information...

"Um?"

Lin You blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Isn't it a little too quiet at the altar?

Where's the promised trial? Where's the pillar of light?

Suddenly, the white light on the altar became incomparably dazzling.

Light rose from the ground, enveloping Lin You.

[Due to the effect of the "Friend of Order" title, you can obtain the reward without completing the trial.]

You have completed the trial of the Goddess of Light.

You have obtained the "Perfect" tier trial reward.

[Rewards being distributed...]

Lin Youzhen was dumbfounded.

"I've already started recording, and you're pulling this stunt on me?"

"How am I supposed to write a guide now?!"
