I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

"This...this thing..." Hua Zitong stared at the talisman, unable to even finish her sentence.

She had run this dungeon in her previous life, but all she got was a common-grade accessory that only added a few points to her basic stats.

She had never even heard of such special accessories with special effects!

This "Balance of Strength" effect increases damage output when luck is low and increases survivability when luck is high. It provides the most useful bonus regardless of the situation.

Hua Zitong took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down and analyze, "This should be related to our battle evaluation just now. We handled almost all of the BOSS's mechanics perfectly, so the evaluation must have been very high."

Li Wu nodded.

"This... is for you." Hua Zitong's eyes were firm as she looked at Li Wu and said earnestly.

"For me?" Li Wu was somewhat surprised.

This equipment would be a huge boost for anyone who received it.

He thought Hua Zitong would compete with him.

"Yes, here you go." Hua Zitong's tone left no room for argument. "Your damage is currently higher than mine, so this buff is best given to you."

Li Wu remained silent for a moment, then did not refuse again.

"it is good."

He took the amulet and equipped it immediately.

On his attribute panel, the luck value column changed from 3.7 to 4.7 (equipment +1).

"Let's go to the next area."

Hua Zitong turned and walked towards the open stone door on the other side of the hall.

Li Wu followed, but was thinking about something else.

Hua Zitong... seems to be too nice to him.

From helping him level up and equipping him at the beginning, to now, even giving him such a top-tier accessory without hesitation.

This level of kindness goes beyond what is typical of teammates.

What does she want to get out of herself?

Li Wu couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it for the time being.

The two passed through the stone gate, and their eyes were suddenly opened to a bright light.

This was no longer the dark and damp cave it had been; instead, it was a huge, circular stone chamber filled with soft light.

The stone chamber has an extremely high dome, inlaid with countless luminous crystals, like a dazzling starry sky.

In the center of the stone chamber, there is a huge, broken die base. The face of the base that represents "one point" is empty.

Throughout the stone chamber, countless points of light, like fireflies, floated, emitting a warm glow as they slowly danced in the air.

A sense of peace and tranquility permeated the air.

There are no monsters here.

"This is the 'Accumulation Chamber'," Hua Zitong's voice softened considerably. "It's the only safe zone in this instance."

Pointing to the swirling specks of light, she said, "Those are 'dust of time.' What we need to do is collect this dust and fill the central pedestal with it."

"How do we collect them?" Li Wu asked.

"Stand still and channel the spell for 3 seconds to collect one," Hua Zitong explained. "During the channeling, our luck stat will continuously recover at 2 points per second. This is a bonus level, let's replenish our status and luck stats to prepare for the final BOSS battle."

Li Wu nodded, "I see."

The design of this instance is quite humane; it's like giving a slap followed by a sweet treat.

However, it's not that simple. "Hua Zitong changed the subject, "There will be 'lucky vortexes' appearing periodically in this room. It's an invisible wind that will randomly blow us away and interrupt the guidance."

"Therefore, we need to cooperate with each other and calculate the time and location of the eddies in order to collect them efficiently."

"Understood."

Without further ado, the two began to act immediately.

They each found an area with a relatively high concentration of "dust of time," stood still, and began to guide.

[Collecting dust of time... 1... 2... 3...]

[Collection successful! Base filling progress +1%!]

Your luck stat +2!

Li Wu's lucky scales shifted two points to the right, becoming [52/100].

Just as he was about to collect the second point of light, an invisible force suddenly came from his left!

His body was involuntarily pushed to the right, and he staggered several steps before regaining his balance, thus interrupting the guidance.

"The vortex is coming! It's on my side!" Hua Zitong shouted.

Li Wu immediately looked at her and saw that the "dust of time" around Hua Zitong had been blown away by an invisible force.

The vortex lasted for about five seconds, then disappeared.

"Is there a pattern?" Li Wu asked.

"Yes," Hua Zitong replied. "It appears approximately every thirty seconds, at a random location, within a range of about ten meters. We just need to stand apart, and when one person is blown away, the other person can take the opportunity to collect it."

The two quickly figured out the trick.

They stood on the left and right, about twenty meters apart.

When the vortex appeared on Li Wu's side, Hua Zitong seized the opportunity to collect it.

When the vortex appeared on Hua Zitong's side, Li Wu frantically guided it.

The only sounds in the entire stone chamber were the tacit guidance of the two of them and the howling of the vortex.

The filling progress of the base is steadily increasing.

10%...

20%...

50%...

Their luck is constantly being replenished in this process.

Soon, both of them reached the maximum value of 100 points in luck!

[Lucky Scales: 100/100]

"Once it's full, you can't increase it anymore," Hua Zitong said. "However, the guidance can still continue to recover, but it won't exceed the limit."

About ten minutes later...

After Li Wu collected the last "dust of time".

hum-

The huge die base in the center suddenly shone brightly!

Countless rays of light shot out from the gaps in the base, intertwining in mid-air to form a huge, complete phantom of a die.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Li Wu and Hua Zitong!

A powerful and pure force of luck surged into their bodies.

[System notification: You have completed "Lucky Accumulation" and received the final blessing—"A Single Point of Inscription"!]

[A Touch of Luck (Powerful Buff): In the upcoming battle, your Luck will no longer decrease naturally and will automatically regenerate 1 point per second. This effect lasts until you leave the instance.]

Upon seeing this buff, Li Wu's eyes lit up instantly.

One point of luck is automatically restored every second!

This means that they will maintain a high luck status throughout the upcoming BOSS battle!

"This is the key to defeating the final boss." Hua Zitong's tone was also tinged with excitement. "The final boss has a skill that continuously drains our luck points. Without this buff, we won't be able to make a single move!"

"Let's go." Li Wu clenched his fist, his fighting spirit soaring like never before.

"Let's go and meet the final boss of this dungeon!"

The light from the base faded, and at the end of the stone chamber, a door made of pure light, leading to a deeper depth, slowly opened.

Behind the door was unfathomable darkness, and... the faint, crisp sound of countless dice colliding could be heard.
