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

Lin You stood on the altar, her expression complex.

He just stood there, doing nothing, and the reward came to him on its own.

It's even a "perfect" level reward.

"...Fine, what else can we do?"

Lin You glanced at the gradually fading white light on the altar and sighed softly.

Then he opened the rewards list and examined it carefully.

You have received the following rewards.

[Gained: Willpower attribute +5]

[Received: 3 Gold Coins]

[Obtained: Medium Health Potion x5]

[Obtained: "Incandescent Searchlight" blueprint x1]

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

"not bad."

Lin You was fairly satisfied with the reward.

Five points in Willpower can slightly increase spell damage.

Gold coins are good too; no one will complain about having too many.

As for the medium-sized life potion, it is an upgraded version of the "small life potion".

It can instantly restore 200 health points, while the latter can only restore 50 health points.

After adding all 50 free attribute points from the named reward to Constitution.

Lin You's maximum lifespan has reached 1000 points.

Small life potions are completely insufficient.

The newly acquired medium-sized life potion is passable.

As for the final "incandescent searchlight" blueprint, it is a piece of mining equipment!

"It's a pity it's just blueprints, not a recipe."

Lin You felt quite regretful.

If it's the recipe, then it can be published so that anyone can make it.

Not only do you need to gather all the materials, but you also need to consume the blueprints themselves to complete the production.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be only one "Gold Digger".

……

[Drawings: Incandescent Searchlight]

Grade: 10 (Blue)

[Requirements: 20 Silver Ingots, 5 Glass, 1 Cracked Crystal]

[Effect: When installed in front of or on top of a minecart, it provides +100% light intensity and reduces the defense and damage reduction of undead and demon units by 20%]

……

Headlights that increase light intensity by 100%!

Seeing the effect of the bright spotlight, Lin You's eyes lit up.

Since arriving at the 11th level of the Earth's core, the brightness of the minecart has become somewhat inadequate.

Because the light penalty at level 11 is -60%.

Even the "Spirit Lantern" with +75% light intensity can only illuminate a small area.

The excavation was fine; Lin You, sitting on the Gold Digger, didn't feel anything.

But when I got out of the car to explore, the feeling of being oppressed by the darkness was especially strong.

Even Lin You felt quite uncomfortable with this feeling.

The appearance of the "incandescent searchlight" solved his immediate problem.

"Equipping them with incandescent searchlights will restore the light intensity to 40%..."

"The visible range has been restored to an acceptable level."

Lin You glanced at the materials required for the blueprints and frowned slightly.

"There are plenty of these in the regular material warehouse, but this 'Cracked Crystal'... I've never heard of it?"

Judging from the prefix "cracked", this should be a gemstone.

But he never managed to open the small jewelry pouch dropped by the kobold shaman.

All I have on hand are some rubies, topaz, sapphires, and jade.

This corresponds exactly to the four lower-level natural elements: fire, electricity, ice, and wind.

"Could it be that brilliance is a higher-grade gemstone?"

Lin You raised an eyebrow and activated his Eye of Insight.

[Additional Information: Brilliant crystal is a rare gemstone, commonly found in strata below the 10th layer of the Earth's core. Skilled diggers like dwarves and ratmen might have some in stock.]

"Okay, it's something you can't get in the beginner area after all."

"However... I know about dwarves, these 'ratmen' are also a native race of the inner world."

"It sounds like they're a group with a strong sense of theft."

After noting down the requirements for the Radiant Crystal, Lin You put the blueprint into his backpack and observed his surroundings.

The white light near the altar had completely subsided, and silence had fallen.

The player who was watching earlier has disappeared without a trace.

They didn't even leave a trace of the mine cart, as if they were afraid of something unexpected happening.

"They run pretty fast."

Lin You made a comment, but she understood the other party's attitude.

This isn't the "Synergy of the Light" area.

Caution, vigilance, and extreme caution are the normal behaviors of other newbie players.

"However, while we should be cautious, there's no need to run like we've seen a ghost..."

Lin You returned to the Gold Miner, restarted the minecart, and continued heading towards the Rockhammer Tribe.

The rest of the journey was smoother than I had imagined.

A few hours later, the marker on the minimap got closer and closer, almost within reach.

After digging for about another ten minutes, we should reach the Rockhammer settlement.

Just as Lin You was about to rush to the dwarf's house in one breath.

The digging options that popped up in front of him startled him.

……

Please select the digging direction.

[①: Dig forward, fuel -20]

(Additional information: After digging 3 times, you will reach the outer area of ​​"Rockhammer Settlement")

【②: Dig to the left, fuel -20】

(Additional information: This excavation will be met with the "Abyss Catastrophe")

【③：……】

……

"The Calamity of the Abyss?"

He narrowed his eyes, recalling the information he had seen in the announcement earlier.

The plague of the dead, the plague of corruption, the plague of crimson...

This is the first time I've ever witnessed such a catastrophe.

"The name itself sounds like it's full of trouble."

Lin You touched his chin and didn't hesitate for long.

"But, we're already here!"

He chose to dig to the left.

hum-

The Gold Rush's engine emitted a deep roar.

The massive drill bit turned to the left and embedded itself deeply into the rock face.

Rock fragments flew as the mine cart smoothly entered the new passage.

After traveling for about two or three minutes, the Gold Miner drilled through a spacious area in the Earth's core.

Lin You sat up straight, his hand already on the musket, and cautiously observed his surroundings.

Flame Spirit also jumped up from his feet, arched its back, and the flames on its tail shot up a little higher with a "whoosh".

But the Earth's core was empty; there was nothing there.

"Does it require further investigation to trigger this?"

Just as Lin You was wondering, a violent tremor suddenly came from the ground!

Rumbling--

A huge crack suddenly appeared more than ten meters in front of the Gold Rush.

Dark mist surged out from the crack, like a living thing that had been suppressed for a long time finally breaking free of its restraints.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, bizarre monsters emerged from the crack.

Some of them resemble human skeletons, while others look like winged beasts.

Although they have different appearances, they are all covered with a layer of swirling black and green mist.

You have triggered the invasion of "The Abyss"!

A notification popped up in front of Lin You's eyes.

Twisted shadow minions are pouring out from the abyssal rift!

"Shadow creatures..."

Without hesitation, Lin You pushed open the car door and jumped out, with Yan Ling following closely behind.

A magic card encyclopedia unfolded before him, from which dozens of magic cards flew out and transformed into summoned creatures that fell to the ground.

"Looks like there will be new collectibles in my catalog."
