Monster collectors on the cross-platform

[Orange Brother]: Running through Hell difficulty, need one more tank (four players needed).++++

[Online Professional Merchant - Qiqi]: Buying all kinds of ores at high prices, DM me if you're selling.

[Sunshine Boy]: I shipped out another batch yesterday (picture).

……

The newly added chat channel is significantly more lively than the previous one, and the number of users in the channel is more than ten times less.

The channel is full of professional merchants, so the resources in this dungeon must be pretty good.

Opening the strategy guide in the channel, the Kobolds dungeon has 5 difficulty levels, with the highest being Inferno and the lowest being Easy.

It's safe to say that it's easy, with the lowest difficulty level being 1. It's really easy; you only need to kill two kobolds to complete the game.

After reading the guide for the easy difficulty, Huo also looked through the guide for the infernal difficulty.

The boss is a dragon vein kobold warlock? And he can cast fireball and dragon breath? That's going to be very difficult.

The Kobolds dungeon isn't urgent; what's important now is to get some weapons and kill that damn ogre.

Returning to the trading platform, Huo spent some time selling the Green Jade Grass from his backpack, earning 9 Zongwang Coins. He then began searching for cheap, powerful, and easy-to-use weapons.

I wandered around and looked at things, and there were really a lot of good stuff, but unfortunately my pockets were empty.

At this moment, an ordinary-looking stall appeared in front of Huo Huan. The odds and ends on the stall were not the point; the point was that there was a gun on the stall.

In fact, ordinary firearms are not very popular in the online world. Ordinary firearms have too narrow a purpose and are quite ineffective against creatures such as elements, shadows, necromancers, and high-speed regeneration creatures. Therefore, most of the firearms used in the online world have been modified or enchanted.

Magic-powered firearms are certainly good, but Huo is still short of money, so he can only buy ordinary firearms as a temporary solution.

"Boss, how much is this gun?" Huo asked the boss, pointing at a gun.

The owner looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. When he heard someone ask about the price, he quickly put down his tablet.

"I'll sell you this gun cheap, for 10 Zongwang coins."

"Give me a discount, and if the price is good, I'll buy it."

After some haggling, Huo bought the pistol for 9 Zongwang coins and even got the shopkeeper to throw in 30 extra bullets.

Name: M500 Revolver (Gray)

Type: Firearms

Weight: 2.3 kg

Requirement: Strength 10

Description: A large-caliber firearm, which has a magazine capacity of only 5 rounds due to its excessively large caliber, but in return, it has extremely high power.

After firing five bullets in the training ground to familiarize himself with the weapon, Huo reloaded the pistol and put it in his inventory, confidently opening the dungeon again.

[Selected instance - Goblin Forest Stronghold]

Current Difficulty: Hard

[The dungeon portal is opening. Please prepare.]

The pale blue portal opened again, and Huo, still full of ambition, stepped into it once more.

Carrying an axe, he hacked his way to the entrance of the stronghold. This time, Huo was too lazy to sneak in and just charged in through the main gate.

After cleaving several goblins to death with a single axe blow, a gigantic ogre appeared, accompanied by heavy footsteps.

"Roar!" Smelling the scent of a living person, the cannibal charged toward Huo Huan, club in hand.

"You've finished your thesis defense, kid." Before the ogre could get close, Huo put away his hand axe and switched to a revolver.

"Bang bang bang bang bang" - a quick American-style Iaijutsu combo upon meeting, emptying the magazine instantly.

The cannibal, whose body had gained more than 100 grams, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Cannibal: Family, who understands this? I was sleeping peacefully at home when suddenly someone, without any sense of decency, emptied their magazine upon meeting me and tried to trick and ambush me, a child who is not even 5 years old.

With the death of the ogre, the remaining goblins were no longer as fearless as before. They dropped their weapons and began to flee. Huo, carrying an axe, easily chased after them and sent them into the embrace of Mother Earth.

[Dungeon clear conditions met, rewards being calculated]

The rewards you received from this dungeon are: 50 General Coins, 100 Universal Experience, and the Skill Card: Heavy Strike.

Huo's eyes lit up when he saw the dungeon rewards after his skill was activated.

Name: Heavy Strike

Type: General Skill

Requirements: Internal energy/Battle aura/War aura/Qi...

Description: This skill allows you to unleash a powerful attack after consuming a small amount of energy. It is a fairly basic melee skill.

Holding the skill card, Huo hesitated for a moment before learning it and decided to first contain the ogre's corpse.

[Network notification: Containment successful, your collection value +2]

Summoning the Book of Collections, Huo eagerly opened it and turned to the page about ogres.

Race name: Ogre

Description: A large, ugly, greedy, and inherently evil humanoid creature that is fond of solving all problems with violence, and is rude and stupid.

Trait: Innate superhuman strength

Innate Strength: Ogres are born with immense strength, which may explain their tendency to resort to violence to solve everything. After equipping this item, Strength increases by 2.

Finally, a useful trait arrived. Huo happily unloaded his disease resistance and loaded his innate strength.

Throw away the tile!

The moment he was loaded, Huo felt an endless surge of power coursing through him. He had never felt so strong before, so strong that he felt he could kill a bull with a single punch. (Bull: Feed me peanuts!!)

Chapter 6 Mining

I've already gained more than half of my experience points. I just need to run two more difficult dungeons to level up.

Huo pressed on, grabbing his axe and getting to work.

After emptying the magazine for the third time, the experience bar was finally full.

[Network notification: You have met the upgrade requirements]

"upgrade"

Ding--

Strength: 12+2

Agility: 12

Physical condition: 12

That's it? Huo scratched his head, looking at the panel. Upgrading didn't give him any skills or increase his attributes. It felt like he hadn't upgraded at all.

There aren't many changes at level 2; we can only look forward to level 3.

Since things have come to this, let's just run some dungeons first. There are still two more Dog Head dungeons to run today.

The new dungeon is still under development. Having just earned 150 Zongwang coins, Huo is too lazy to stay in the dungeon and painstakingly pick herbs.

After leaving the Goblin dungeon, Huo immediately entered the Kobolds dungeon.

The next instant, Huo appeared in front of a mountain, with a dense forest behind him and a conspicuous cave in front of him, from which came knocking sounds.

As Huo Huan entered the cave carrying his axe, his vision dimmed.

Oh no, I don't think I brought any lighting equipment.

With his vision restricted, Huo belatedly realized that he didn't have night vision equipment. But since he was already here, and the easy difficulty was easy anyway, he figured he might as well finish the game quickly and go back to get some night vision equipment.

After walking in the dark for a few minutes, the knocking sounds in the mine became clearer. After turning a corner, two dim candlelights came into Huo Huan's view.

"Intruders!" The two dogs barked like dogs and charged at Huo Huan, brandishing their pickaxes.

With the help of the candlelight on the kobold's head, Huo was able to see his surroundings with a little difficulty. He took out his long-unused pot lid shield and raised it to the side.

"Thump!" The pot lid groaned under the weight of the pickaxe's attack, but Huo easily blocked the kobold's attack with the help of his shield, and then retaliated fiercely with his right axe.

After sacrificing his pot lid shield in a tragic manner, Huo still easily won the battle.

The mine was still too cramped, making it difficult for Ho to dodge attacks. However, the kobolds were also weak, only slightly stronger than the goblins.

[Dungeon clear conditions met, rewards being calculated]

The rewards you received from this dungeon are: 20 General Coins, 40 Universal Experience, and a Kobold Candle (Gray)

Name: Kobold Candle (Gray)

Type: Sacrifice, Lighting

Weight: 0.17 kg

Effects: When lit, it can be used for lighting, as it contains a faint magical aura; it can also be used for sacrifices and rituals.

Description: The candles made by the kobolds are the most important things to them besides their own lives (Kobold: You are not allowed to take my candles).

Surprisingly, the item was delivered. Huo even took out the candle from his spatial backpack and examined it closely. It looked no different from a real candle.

After pulling the still-burning candle from the kobold's head, Huo summoned the Book of Collections to contain the kobold's corpse.
