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

Think it and do it.

He took a deep breath and slowly channeled his magic into the crossbow.

Magic flowed down his arm into the crimson gem on the crossbow, emitting a seven-colored glow.

[Elemental Strike skill successfully activated!]

[Please infuse your magic power into the next attack!]

"It actually works?!"

Lin You was overjoyed. He aimed at a kobold miner who had just come on patrol and pulled the trigger.

Whoosh!

The crossbow bolt pierced the air, its shaft wreathed in blazing flames.

It drew a fiery red trail in the darkness.

Elemental Strike - Fire Element!

boom!

The crossbow bolt pierced the kobold miner's chest, and flames instantly exploded, engulfing a small area in a sea of ​​fire.

-119!

A shocking damage number popped up, and the kobold miner died on the spot, without even having a chance to scream.

[The "Elemental Strike" skill consumes more than 50 mana points, triggering "Flame Blast"!]

Flames spread through the mine tunnels, and the explosions were deafening.

Lin You stared at the still-burning flame, a wide grin spreading from his lips to his ears.

"That's way too strong!"

Crossbow combined with elemental strikes, ranged burst damage, and area-of-effect damage!

This means he possesses considerable ranged attack capabilities!

When encountering a powerful enemy, you can first whittle down their strength from a safe distance.

Wait until the enemy is low on health before getting close and finishing them off.

"We made a fortune! We made a huge fortune!"

Lin You rubbed his hands excitedly and continued to move through the mine tunnels.

With the combination of crossbow and elemental strike, the efficiency of clearing out kobolds has increased several times over.

Battles that used to require close-quarters combat can now be resolved with a single arrow from afar.

The only regret is that the crossbow bolts that have been used to activate skills cannot be retrieved because they are imbued with elemental power.

However, for the wealthy and powerful Lin You, this was not a problem at all.

At worst, we can make a few hundred crossbow bolts to use in the meantime when we get back.

In less than twenty minutes, he completed all three objectives of the secret realm, achieving a perfect clear.

[The exploration of the secret realm is complete; rewards are being calculated!]

You have completed all the level objectives; the level completion reward has been doubled!

You have gained 200 experience points, 20 copper ore, and 2 silver coins.

For Lin You now, the reward for clearing the Dark Mine is practically nothing.

"However, the experience gained from clearing the game wasn't diminished, which is good."

Lin You glanced at the experience bar stuck at level 9 with 100% and sighed.

Gaining more experience is useless until you complete the advancement quest.

"We need to get to the fifth level of the Earth's core as soon as possible to challenge the gatekeeper."

The gatekeeper is not only related to Lin You's advancement mission.

The "Guardian's Token" it drops is also a necessary material to upgrade the simple minecart to level 10!

After leaving the secret realm, Lin You returned to the mine cart.

"Time to farm the Undead Invasion."

He took out several spirit-summoning lanterns from his backpack, walked to an open space in the Earth's core, and smashed them violently.

The eerie green flames seeped into the ground, and countless red dots began to appear on the minimap.

This time, Lin You did not let Yan Ling participate in the battle, after all, the little guy had just contributed a lot.

He wanted to test how far he could go in soloing after getting the crossbow.

Skeleton soldiers and zombies crawled out of the ground and pounced on Lin You.

Lin You raised the crossbow, loaded the bolt, aimed, and fired.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Arrows were fired in succession, the light of elemental strikes shimmering on the arrow shafts.

Flames, frost, and lightning exploded among the monsters.

The damage numbers kept jumping, and the undead fell in droves.

The skeleton soldiers summoned by Lin You stood in the front line to hold off the enemy.

Although the number is small, it is enough to create space for Lin You to output.

One wave, two waves, three waves...

Lin You's magic power was constantly being depleted, but he showed no sign of stopping.

The newly acquired weapon greatly increased his monster-killing efficiency.

Previously, dealing with undead invasions required a significant amount of physical effort.

Now he can easily solve the problem without moving.

The seventh wave, the eighth wave, the ninth wave... the final wave!

Lin You wiped away his sweat, loaded the last crossbow bolt, and aimed at the last zombie.

Whoosh!

The crossbow bolt pierced the zombie's chest, exploding in a burst of intense flames and shattering the zombie.

[Battle over! You have repelled the invasion of the "Undead Scourge"!]

Lin You took a breath and glanced at her own condition.

With his level 9 magic power cap of nearly 1000 points.

It's almost completely depleted!

"We can only make magic cards after our magic power recovers."

Looking at the corpses of the dead scattered on the ground, Lin You felt a little itchy.

This is all the progress of his advancement mission!

Fortunately, after increasing the points in the Spirit attribute, the speed of mana recovery also increased significantly.

Lin You can recover 9.2 magic points per minute.

It only takes about an hour and a half to restore most of the magic power.

Suddenly, the ground, riddled with holes by the undead, began to collapse.

A pitch-black pit appeared before Lin You.

However, he was not surprised.

He had seen the same scene twice before.

[You clicked in the same location to repel multiple waves of undead invasions, triggering a hidden mechanism!]

The current structure of the Earth's core has been destroyed, creating a passage to the fourth level of the Earth's core!

Lin You walked to the edge of the pit and looked down.

The pitch-black entrance was bottomless, just like the passage we had taken to the third floor.

"Fourth floor...we'll be on the fifth floor tomorrow."

Lin You murmured to herself, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

He then returned to the minecart and, while waiting for his magic to recover, casually opened the system panel.

Strategy Points: 6251

"It's already enough to upgrade the Eye of Insight, and even exceeds it by quite a bit."

Seeing his strategy points steadily increasing, Lin You's spirits lifted.

Once the battle for new players ends, the influx of new players will provide him with a significant amount of strategy points.

After all, this is a "newbie" who hasn't read his strategy guide.

You'll definitely gain a lot of strategy points.

"Exchange for 'Advanced Eye of Insight'."

[Your "Insightful Eye" has been upgraded by consuming 5000 strategy points!]

A cool breeze rushed into Lin You's eyes.

[Advanced Forensic Expertise has been unlocked!]

You can see more detailed information, including hidden areas, player information, detailed attributes and skills of monsters, etc.

Lin You rubbed her eyes, delighted to experience the new world around her.

After the Eye of Insight is upgraded, it can see more information.

It even cured his pre-existing mild nearsightedness.

"A miracle worker, System!"

Lin You smiled slightly and continued browsing the strategy shop.

All three items have been redeemed, and the strategy shop has been refreshed accordingly.

This time, the store no longer has only 3 items, but 5!

However, some of these items are the types that can be purchased repeatedly.

……

【Item 1: Friend Teleportation Card】

[Note: This item allows you to teleport to a friend's location, but requires the friend's consent. There is a 24-hour cooldown period for using it on the same target.]

Price: 100 strategy points/visit

……

【Item Two: Secret Realm Refresh Card】

[Note: After use, you can immediately challenge any dungeon once. The dungeon must be one you have already cleared.]

Price: 500 strategy points/visit

……

"Both of these cards are highly functional and there are no restrictions on the number of purchases."

After reading the descriptions of the first two products, Lin You's eyes lit up.

"Does this mean that as long as I have enough strategy points, I can challenge the secret realm indefinitely?"

"However, I don't currently have any dungeons worth spending strategy points to challenge."

"Let's wait until we encounter a new secret realm before buying it."

After upgrading to the Advanced Eye of Insight, Lin You had less than two thousand strategy points left.

After the strategy shop refreshes, besides these two types of cards...

The remaining three new products are the most important!
