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

Once the destination is determined, the rest will fall into place.

While waiting to excavate, Lin You opened the strategy shop and exchanged for a few more Secret Realm Refresh Cards.

The Watcher's Realm is currently his stable source of Elite Magic Cards and Gem Bags.

Although this will prolong the time it takes to exchange for clues to legendary equipment.

But right now there is nothing more important than completing the advancement task.

[Consume 2500 strategy points to obtain 5 "Secret Realm Refresh Cards"]

Lin You consumed a Secret Realm Refresh Card and stepped into the Guardian's Secret Realm once again.

On the altar, the kobold shaman raised his staff as always.

But this time, Lin You didn't give it any chance to fight back, and raised his crossbow to fire continuously.

The crimson crossbow bolt exploded in the shaman's chest, and flames engulfed the totem pole and the guards.

Flame Spirit followed closely behind, landing consecutive claw strikes and tail whips.

The battle ended in less than four minutes.

[Clear the Guardian's Secret Realm]

[Obtain "Magic Card: Kobold Shaman" x1]

[Obtain "Magic Card: Kobold Warrior" x3]

[Obtained "Kobold Shaman's Treasure Bag" x1]

Lin You opened the treasure bag, and several small bottles of healing potions and a small jewelry bag rolled out.

In addition, there is a wooden staff similar to the one used by shamans.

……

【Glimmering Staff】

Grade: 5 (Blue)

[Requirements: Spirit > 20 (E), Willpower > 20 (E)]

【Effect 1: Adds 20 extra damage to spell skills】

【Effect 2: When light intensity is >50%, spell damage +20%】

……

"So-so."

Lin You pursed his lips. He only had one spell skill, which was Lightning Arrow.

This staff is of little use to him, so he can only put it on the market to sell.

or……

After thinking for a moment, Lin You directly opened the "High-Level Player Channel" created by Cheng Yan and pasted the attributes of the staff there.

[Lin You: "The Glowing Staff (Show Link)"]

[Lin You: Internal sale, only 20 silver, DM me if interested]

The once stagnant private chat room became lively after Lin You spoke.

[Vincent: Level 5 blue gear? Could it be a drop from the Watcher's Rift?]

[Lin You: Yes, I ran the Watcher's Dungeon again, and I'm now at level 6 of the Earth's Core.]

Vincent: ...Wow, you're amazing!

[Lugo: It's a good weapon, but unfortunately I'm not a mage]

[Lu Ge: When will we have a chance to fight?]

[Lin You: Which floor are you on now?]

【Luge: 4th Floor】

[Lin You: What are you talking about? Wait until you catch up with me.]

[Xia Qi: Oh~ I'm taking notes. Brother Lin You... took the initiative to invite Uncle Lu Ge... to pursue him...]

[Lin You: Wait a minute, what nonsense are you remembering?]

[Lu Ge: Why am I an old man?]

Cheng Yan: Hehe, it's really lively here!

[Lin You: So, does anyone want this staff? If not, I'll put it on the market.]

Just when Lin You thought no one would make a bid.

Xia Qi, who was just chatting about him and Lu Ge, suddenly said something surprising.

[Shawn: I'll take it. I'm about to challenge the Watcher, so I need to upgrade my equipment.]

The atmosphere in the chat room froze instantly upon hearing this.

It's estimated that no one would have thought that, following Lin You...

The second player in the 25535 newbie zone to challenge the Guardian was actually a little girl!

Although Xia Qi's ranking was already quite high during the rookie competition.

But everyone present considered themselves to be no weaklings.

Even Lugo only explored up to the fourth level of the Earth's core.

But Shakky had already reached the entrance to the Guardian's Secret Realm on the fifth level of the Earth's core!

He was arguably the person closest to Lin You's footsteps!

Even Lin You was somewhat surprised.

He thought for a moment and then offered a reminder.

[Lin You: The Guardian's Secret Realm has no death protection, be careful.]

[Lin You: I've already covered the important points in my strategy guide.]

[Lin You: I'll give you a few more small healing potions later to increase your margin for error.]

Xia Qi: I know, I know, no wonder everyone calls you Lin You's mom.

No one else in the chat room said anything.

They're probably spurred on by the young girl, and they're all trying their best to break through the barrier.

Lin You shrugged, opened her friend list, and sent Xia Qi the Glimmering Staff and several small healing potions.

He quickly received the payment from the other party.

Player "Shaki" has gifted you 20 Silver Coins and 10 Summoning Lanterns.

In addition to the 20 silver coins for the Glowing Staff, there are also 10 lanterns.

Xia Qi: Consider the extra lanterns as payment for the medicine, thank you big brother!

[Xia Qi: If someone accidentally dies, at least you'll have a memento]

Lin You's lips twitched, but she didn't reply.

He and Xia Qi aren't that much older, so how come there's a generation gap?

He simply couldn't keep up with that train of thought.

After successfully selling the Glimmering Staff, Lin You ran the Watcher's Rift a few more times and finally collected enough rubies.

[3 "Cracked Rubies" → 1 "Split Ruby" (Requires an Advanced Crafting Table)]

【Should we synthesize it?】

"Yes."

Lin You's main goal was to acquire gems.

Three broken gems can be combined into one cracked gem.

Similarly, three broken gemstones can be combined to form one complete gemstone.

Further up the quality ladder are high-grade gemstones such as flawless and perfect.

But that's not something he can make now.

After consuming a total of 9 broken rubies

Lin You finally obtained a complete ruby.

A complete ruby ​​is about the size of a pigeon's egg, with a pure color and a fiery luster flowing inside.

"All the materials are ready."

Lin You carefully put the ruby ​​away.

Later, I'll give it to Elon along with the gel and gold ingots to forge the Slime Crown.

He then summoned the Magic Card Encyclopedia and absorbed the two Magic Cards he had obtained from the Watcher's Realm.

Your Strength attribute has been increased to E-rank by 50 points.

Your constitution attribute has been increased to level E by 50 points.

Your Willpower attribute has been increased to E-level 100 points (maximum).

"call……"

Lin You clenched her fists, clearly feeling the changes in her body.

His strength and physique have been greatly improved, and his mental and willpower attributes have reached the perfect E-level!

Aside from the "luck" attribute, which remains unchanged.

At this moment, Lin You can be described as a true all-rounder!

500 points of maximum health and stamina, plus 1100 points of maximum mana.

With "Magic Barrier" activated, you have a total damage absorption of 1600 points!

At the current depth of the Earth, as long as he doesn't deliberately court death, Lin You is unlikely to be in any danger.

"This increases our chances of defeating the Slime King even further."

The King of Slimes is, after all, a level 10 special elite, so we should still show him some respect.

About twenty minutes later, the minecart drove into a wide-open space in the Earth's core.

Lin You glanced at the mini-map; the Earth's core space before him was the elemental altar marked on the map.

In the center of the space stands an altar made of gray-white stone.

It is smaller in scale than the altar of the god of slaughter, but more exquisite.

The altar's surface is inscribed with runes representing the four elements: water, fire, thunder, and wind, which subtly shimmer with multicolored light.

"The God of Elements governs four lower elements and three higher elements."

Elon and Lin You got out of the car together and came to the vicinity of the lost altar.

"This is indeed the altar of a true god. Once I complete the trial, I can use the remaining divine power of the altar to forge the Slime Crown."

"However, we dwarves are not good at manipulating elements and magic."

"The trial of the elemental gods is now yours to face."

"Hmm... let me see."

Lin You walked to the altar and reached out to touch the surface of the runes.

The altar trembled, and several lines of information appeared before his eyes.

……

You have discovered a lost elemental altar, triggering the trial of the elemental gods!

[Trial Content: Infuse the altar with sufficient elemental power within the specified time.]

[Infusion Method: Any elemental skill is acceptable]

[Time Limit: 60 seconds]

……

"Any elemental skill will do?"

Without hesitation, Lin You raised his crossbow, aimed at the open space not far away, and launched an elemental strike.

Magic was channeled into the crossbow, and the arrow, crackling with lightning, flew out and struck the ground of the altar.

The elemental explosion caused by the skill was fleeting, as if it were absorbed and transformed into the energy of the altar.

[Elemental Infusion Progress: 14%]

[Time Remaining: 56 seconds]

Lin You noticed that some of the elemental patterns on the surface of the altar had lit up.

"I see……"

"To light up all the patterns on the altar, it will probably take about 7 to 8 elemental strikes..."

"It should deal around 1000 points of elemental damage!"

Having understood this, Lin You no longer hesitated and fired a series of elemental crossbow bolts filled with magic power.

As the last pattern was illuminated, the altar burst forth with dazzling and colorful elemental light.

[Trial complete!]

You have passed the trial of the elemental gods!

Please choose a reward!

[Reward ①: Infuse a shattered gem with elemental power, transforming it into a complete gem]

[Reward ②: Choose one elemental skill and increase its level by 1]
