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

"That is indeed true."

Lin You did not evade the question, but replied concisely.

He casually forwarded the video Qi Chuan had sent him, adding a comment.

"This is a video recording of the incident, made from the perspective of a friend of mine."

Elena was silent for a moment, probably watching the recording.

A few minutes later, her message popped up.

"I'm so angry! How could these people be so awful!"

"I just checked the death notices on the forum and found out they've killed several people already!"

"Fortunately, they ran into Mr. Lin this time, otherwise they would have harmed others even more."

It was clear that the girl was very angry, as she sent several messages back.

Lin You didn't even have a chance to interject.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will refute this rumor in today's Earth Center Daily!"

Lin You thought for a moment, realizing that each player had a limited number of opportunities to post.

We can use Elena's post to spread the truth.

He wouldn't have to waste his precious posting opportunities.

"Okay, just clarify the facts and don't escalate the impact."

"Understood! Mr. Lin, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Yes, feel free to use the video recording. My friend and I don't mind."

Lin You closed the chat window and walked towards the metal processing table.

[Crafting complete! You have obtained 1 "Grappling Hook"!]

A bundle of simply designed instruments appeared on the table.

The grappling hook consists of three parts.

These are the handle, the retractable chain, and the sharp claws.

……

【grapple】

Grade: 5 (White)

[Durability: 200/200]

[Note: After being thrown, it can grab onto rock faces or protrusions. Reactivating it will drag the user to the target location. Each use consumes 1 point of durability.]

[Additional Information: This item can be used on enemies. If it hits an enemy, a physical confrontation will occur. If the confrontation is successful, the target will be pulled towards the user.]

……

Lin You weighed the grappling hook in her hand; it felt solid.

"good."

He hung the grappling hook around his waist and stepped out of the mine cart.

This is a subterranean space not far from the Watcher's Secret Realm.

There were originally some underground root systems nearby, but Lin You has swept them all away and put them into the warehouse.

He hasn't cleared today's undead invasion yet.

The grappling hook has just been made, so this is a good opportunity to verify an idea he had before.

Lin You looked around and threw out a grappling hook toward a rock protrusion on the cave ceiling.

The grappling hook flew out, its sharp claws precisely gripping the rock.

Then Lin You pulled hard, and his body was lifted into the air, hanging steadily in mid-air.

"Come on, if this idea can come true..."

"Then the players on the first and second floors are in luck."

Lin You pulled a spirit-summoning lantern from her backpack and threw it to the ground.

Splash...

As the lantern shattered, eerie green flames seeped into the ground, and the spirits of the dead gradually emerged from the earth.

The undead invasion only intensifies in the first two layers of the Nether.

The difficulty of level 5 remains the same as before.

After the skeleton soldiers and zombies emerged from the ground, they looked up in Lin You's direction.

They waved their arms, trying to attack the latter, but... they couldn't reach it.

Neither of these two types of undead has ranged attack capabilities.

The skeleton soldier jumped up, its bone claws still half a meter away from his ankle.

The zombies are even worse off; they can't even jump and can only stare blankly at the ground.

"Very good, next up is... target practice."

Lin You, perched high above, raised his crossbow.

The dead swarms beneath my feet are so dense that I don't even need to aim.

——Elemental Strike: Frost Nova!

Swish!

A ring of azure ice suddenly erupted, freezing all the gathered undead in place.

The first wave of invasion ended so easily.

Lin You smashed another spirit-summoning lantern, summoning a second wave of undead.

Skeletons and zombies surged toward him like a school of fish.

What Lin You had to do was to wipe out the enemies with an elemental strike once they had gathered enough.

"Hmm... Ordinary players don't have such convenient skills, so they need to find other ways to attack."

"The shortbow that the guy we took down earlier had was pretty good; weapons and ammunition are easy to make."

The recipe for the shortbow was the only decent trophy Lin You had when she helped Qi Chuan out of a predicament.

……

[Iron Shortbow: 7 Iron Ingots, 8 Damage, Requires Anvil]

[Wooden Arrows: 1 piece of wood, 1 piece of stone, produces 25 wooden arrows, deals 5 damage, requires a basic workbench]

……

In addition, after making the wooden arrows.

Lin You also obtained the recipe for a special arrow through the Eye of Insight!

……

[Flaming Arrows: 10 Wooden Arrows, 1 Torch, produces 10 Flaming Arrows, dealing 7 damage and inflicting the Burning debuff. Requires an Alchemy Table]

……

The alchemy table is similar to a workbench and anvil.

These are all crafting stations that can be used to create items.

Made of wood and glass, the materials are quite simple.

On the Gold Rush ship, there was naturally also a gold refining table.

However, Lin You never had the chance to use it.

"For the average player, wooden arrows and an iron bow are sufficient."

"The Flaming Arrow is just icing on the cake."

Lin You hung in mid-air, pondering as he harvested the prey below.

In less than fifteen minutes, all 10 waves of undead invasions for the day were cleared.

This time, no further passages leading to deeper levels appeared.

This is likely because of the presence of guards.

The previously tried-and-true tricks from lower levels are now completely ineffective.

"That's about it."

Lin You retracted the grappling hook, landed back on the ground, stretched his sore wrists, and then cleaned up the battlefield.

You have obtained 106 "Undead Bones"

You have obtained 75 "Corpse Oil"

You have obtained 98 "Magic Card: Skeleton Warrior" and 80 "Magic Card: Zombie".

Back in the minecart, he opened the thread page and began writing today's strategy guide.

If nothing unexpected happens, this guide is exactly the type of guide that players need right now.

A no-damage farming method that everyone can use to beat the Undead Invasion!

In the main text, Lin You detailed his new discovery.

"Based on my experience of repelling dozens of undead invasions, I have come to a conclusion."

"There will absolutely be no undead appearing directly above the Earth's core, that is, in the direction directly overhead."

"Therefore, we can try to seize the high ground."

"Undead cannot fly or climb vertical rock walls, so monsters cannot attack you when you are at a high place."

"In this way, even without powerful weapons and equipment, we can remain invincible in undead invasions."

"At the same time, it is recommended to prepare a sufficient supply of crossbow bolts or throwing weapons to avoid being put on the defensive after running out of ammunition."

"I will reveal the crafting recipes for iron shortbows, wooden arrows, and flaming arrows."

"I have personally tested and confirmed that the above methods work; feel free to try them."

"As for methods to occupy commanding heights, I offer two."

"One is to use the 'grappling hook' prop, which allows you to easily hang in mid-air."

"Secondly, find an open area and artificially pile up soil and stones to create terrain, at least 5 meters off the ground, to ensure safety."

"in addition……"

Lin You paused for a moment at the end of the post.

Then, he typed a line of text.

"As the 'strategy guru' known among the players in the 25535 strategy section, I am very grateful to my old friends who have always supported me, and I also welcome new players from other newbie sections to join. But I will never show mercy to those evildoers."
