Monster collectors on the cross-platform

Upon hearing this, Shifen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned around without hesitation to deal with the dwarf mages around him.

With a blink, Huo Huan dodged the attack, and the dwarf city lord raised his hand and cast a human immobilization spell on Huo Huan's head.

The magical light dissipated instantly as soon as it touched Huo Huan. The dwarf city lord looked at Huo Huan with some doubt. Could it be that the human male in front of him just looked like a human?

Despite his doubts, he didn't stop his spellcasting and with a wave of his hand, he fired another Mayoufu acid arrow at Huo Huan.

Huo raised his hand to block the dwarf city lord's mage. Relying on his high energy resistance, the acid arrow only corroded some of Huo's skin.

Seeing the spell's effect, the dwarf city lord's heart sank. He realized he had met a tough opponent. Looking at the dwindling number of mages around him, he knew he probably wouldn't survive the day.

It's a pity I didn't master the spell penetration feat, otherwise I would still have a chance to defeat the person in front of me.

Huo was naturally unaware of the dwarf city lord's inner thoughts, only feeling that he was indeed a mage, even more slippery than an eel.

After chasing for several minutes, they still couldn't catch the dwarf city lord. Even if Huo secretly used the activated rope, he would be discovered immediately.

Just as Huo was at a stalemate, the group of mages who had finished cleaning up the food were free to deal with the situation.

Seizing the opportunity, a counterspell was used to steal the Blink spell that the dwarf city lord was about to cast.

By the time the dwarf city lord wanted to cast another spell, it was too late.

Enraged by being outmaneuvered, Huo unleashed his full power, shattering the magical shield protecting the dwarf city lord with a single punch, turning the dwarf city lord's head into a bloody mist.

Chapter 89 The Experiment of the Exhibition Hall

[Network Notification: You have completed the mission: City Siege. You have received 10000 experience points and 10000 Network Coins.]

With the death of the dwarf city lord, the remaining dwarf soldiers lost morale and fled in all directions, abandoning their armor and weapons.

The fall of Gnome City signifies the complete end of this instance; the next step is to clean up the battlefield and divide the loot.

After obtaining his teammates' consent, Huo also collected all the corpses in the city.

As for the distribution of spoils, Huo Huan would not participate. Having already conquered a city on his own, Huo Huan's spatial backpack could no longer hold anything else.

While his teammates were discussing how to distribute the loot, Huo summoned the Book of Collections, intending to see what traits the two newly inhabited races would bring him.

Race Name: Subterranean Dwarf

Introduction: As skilled miners in the underground world, underground gnomes have an extraordinary sensitivity to all kinds of stones. At the same time, their good magical talent allows them to easily become magic-based professions.

Traits: Cunning like a stone, adapted to the underground

Stone Cunning: Subterranean gnomes have an extraordinary sensitivity to stone, which is why they are skilled miners. When equipped, players gain increased resistance to rock-related spells and can also sense hidden stone traps and stone doors.

Underground Adaptation: Underground gnomes living in the underground world have a strong ability to adapt to the underground world. When equipped, players are immune to the poison gas of the 'Underground' and can freely travel through their respective tunnels.

Race name: Drow elf

Introduction: As a 'Dark Noble' from the Dark Region, she has outstanding looks with dark skin and red eyes, but her personality is extremely wicked. She is good at betrayal, selfish and ruthless.

Traits: Darkvision, Spider-like Movement

Darkvision: Drow elves possess excellent night vision capabilities, making them frequently used as human night vision goggles for teams during underground explorations. When equipped, players gain darkvision, ensuring unobstructed vision within 40 meters.

Spider Walk: As followers of Lolth, the Spider Queen, every drow elf has a close relationship with spiders. After equipping the Spider Walk spell, players gain the Spider Walk spell, which allows them to walk freely on spider webs and even communicate with spiders. Once per day.

Huo made a judgment on the two traits that weren't very useful after examining the newly collected artifacts.

After waiting a short while, the loot distribution among my teammates was completed, and it was time to say goodbye.

"Bye-bye, see you next week," said Bee Tea, the temporary team leader, before everyone else followed suit.

As the portal opened, everyone disappeared from their original spot.

He was back again, and looking at the familiar gravedigger's hut, Huo breathed a sigh of relief.

This instance didn't last very long, only a little over two days, but the rewards were substantial.

Huo lay back in his rocking chair and made himself a cup of hot tea. Then he opened the network panel to check his loot from this dungeon.

Leaving aside the preparation of the space backpack, the experience points and network currency given by the mission alone amounted to 24500. With the equipment in the backpack, Huo also estimated that the total income from network currency this time could exceed 5.

Of course, this is on the premise of selling the purple hammer you have; you can't make that much money just by selling a backpack full of blue equipment.

However, Huo doesn't want to sell the hammer for the time being. With this amount of Zongwang coins, even if he buys materials to polish his collection, he will still have a lot left over.

With enough Zongwang coins for the time being, Huo still wanted to keep the hammer, since it was quite powerful at destroying turtle shells.

Opening his personal panel, Huo glanced at the experience bar and found that he was 300 experience points away from leveling up.

After glancing at the open world in the instance menu, Huo thought for a moment and decided not to go in.

After experiencing several instances, Huo increasingly felt that the speed at which experience was gained in the open world was too slow.

Perhaps due to the different flow of time, the rewards obtained in the open world are still considerable in terms of real time, but the perceived time is too long.

In this instance, I gained over 20,000 experience points in just over two days, but it would be impossible to do so quickly in the open world.

Of course, the reason why the rewards for this dungeon are so generous is due to the characteristics of the dungeon. If Huo Huan's side had lost the arena battle, the rewards would have been only one-tenth of what they were.

Seeing that he only needed 300 experience points to level up, Huo was itching to buy another dungeon invitation.

However, the thought that reaching level 8 would only grant two equipment slots and some collection points, according to past patterns, dampened Huo's desire to buy more dungeon invitations.

Forget it, I should take a break. Several battles in a short period of time have left Huo Huan mentally exhausted. There's no need to push myself too hard.

Thinking this, Huo took a couple of sips of tea and lay comfortably in the rocking chair, no longer moving.

Rest time is always so short, just like a hard-earned vacation that disappears in the blink of an eye.

Huo took off his AR glasses, touched his somewhat shrunken stomach, and knew it was time to eat.

After enjoying a hearty meal at the Hope Restaurant as usual, Huo checked on the plants in his vegetable garden to ensure they were growing healthily before entering the exhibition hall.

Disciplining the two young girls every day is one of Huo's few pleasures.

Seeing the two girls' utterly hopeless expressions, Huo felt inexplicably pleased. Indeed, people's happiness is often built on the suffering of others.

Of course, in addition to personally training the two, Huo would also occasionally revive some of his collections to increase their combat experience.

Seeing the two of them fall into a disadvantageous position under the horned demon's offensive, they knew that it was still too difficult for them to deal with the horned demon with their strength.

"Alright, that's enough training for today." Seeing that the two couldn't hold on any longer, Huo called for a halt.

Upon hearing the command, the horned demon immediately stopped and returned to its original location as a specimen.

The two girls immediately collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, looking like they were about to die.

Ignoring the two lying on the ground, Huo's purpose in coming to the exhibition hall this time, besides training the two girls, was more importantly to verify a hypothesis.

He waved his hand and summoned the Void Fusion Monster. The Void Fusion Monster, which had been standing behind him, immediately came to life and appeared in front of Huo Huan.

"It still looks disgusting," Huo muttered to himself, then gave the Void Fusion Monster the order to attack him.

Accompanied by a hissing sound, a powerful mental attack emanated from the Void Fusion Monster's body.

Despite feeling dizzy and nauseous, Huo began to remotely control the intensity of the Void Fusion Monster's mental attack.

After ensuring that the intensity was enough to harm him without being too strong, Huo remained seated, silently enduring the pain.

At the same time, the natural adaptations derived from the star beasts began to stir, and under the continuous mental attacks, Huo Huan's body began to show special reactions.

After an unknown amount of time, a notification sound suddenly startled Huo from his meditation.

[Network notification: After arduous training, you have successfully mastered a new specialty: Mental Resistance]

Mental Resistance: Prolonged exposure to mental attacks has significantly increased your mental resilience, making you more resistant to them.

Chapter 90 Wedding

He succeeded. Seeing the new specialty appear on his personal panel, Huo knew he had guessed correctly.

With this natural adaptability trait, coupled with the ability to summon artifacts at will within the exhibition hall, Huo already sensed that a new expertise was beckoning him.

However, reality gave Huo a resounding slap in the face; Huo had underestimated the complexity of acquiring expertise.

When Huo summoned other types of monsters, such as the young red dragon, he wanted to use its dragon breath to make himself immune to fire, but he found that this operation was simply not feasible.

Whenever Huo is burned in the flames, the life energy in his body will continuously repair his body to prevent him from being burned to death. In addition, the dragon's breath does not last long, so the natural adaptation trait will not be triggered under these circumstances.

It turns out that acquiring the mental resistance specialty was merely a coincidence and not a common occurrence.

After trying several attacks, Huo still hadn't gained any new specializations. Perhaps going directly to the elemental plane would be easier.

Since it didn't work, and they were too lazy to dwell on it any longer—the two girls had already had enough training for the day—they didn't stay in the exhibition hall any longer.

After leaving the exhibition hall, Huo trained at the training ground for a while, and then his mission for the day was finally over.

After a quick wash, Huo drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Huo got out of bed on time and stared into deep thought as the dungeon went into a cooldown state.

There were no dungeons to run today, and Huo felt like something was missing.

Perhaps I should buy another instance invitation?

Looking at the vast world instance, Huo hesitated.

The other two dungeons are currently doing quite well, and it's unlikely that Huo will replace them in the short term. So, the only one left to be replaced is the open world.

However, after the change, returning to the Great World won't be so easy, as the Great World doesn't offer invitations.

"Huo Huan, are you there?" A familiar voice called out from outside the door.

It's Lawrence. Why is he here? Did something happen?

"I'm here," Huo replied, still somewhat puzzled, before walking out of the room.

"Why are you here?" Huo pulled Lawrence into the house and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"I'm getting married, the date is in three days." As soon as he sat down, Lawrence dropped a bombshell about himself.

"Congratulations!" Huo was a little surprised to hear that his good friend was getting married so soon, but he still offered his blessings.

"Remember to come in three days!"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't miss your wedding. But why are you getting married so soon?"

Faced with Huo's questioning, Lawrence quickly recounted the entire sequence of events.

It turns out that Baron Rosenthal had visited Hogan last time, and soon after returning, he promoted Lawrence's father, Valentine.
