Cherreads

Chapter 23 - Chapter 23, Level 42, unlocks a new contract location.

The Loess Plateau is eerie, dark, and deep, filled with a thick, gloomy atmosphere.

There is no sunlight here, only endless darkness.

In the distance, faint phosphorescent lights flickered, and occasionally a cold wind blew by, sending chills down one's spine.

It is mostly made of yellow soil, and strange plants grow everywhere, emitting an eerie glow, adding a mysterious touch to the whole environment.

Fang Xian looked around and saw that the phosphorescent lights around him seemed like ghosts, constantly wandering in the air.

The traditional fears of the East are truly chilling to read.

He thought Liu Shishuang would be intimidated by the drifting blue flames, but instead, she was full of excitement and immediately took out her phone to start filming.

"This is what people call 'ghost fire,' it's really fitting for the occasion."

Fang Xian felt ashamed and began to examine the phosphorescent light.

Phosphorescent light in the grave:

Grade: Elite

Level: 36

Health: 1520/1520

Blue Amount: 200/200

Strength: 40

Spirit: 50

Agility: 25

Defense: 35

Skills: Fear, Burn

Elite monsters are significantly stronger than regular monsters, especially in terms of attack.

When the Spirit of "Grave Phosphorus" reaches 50 points, its attack methods also include control and continuous damage.

If it's a group from the Duanliu layer coming in, they can't deal with it like they did with the "Paper Money Monster," where they can just use basic attacks.

Moreover, the main difference between elite monsters and ordinary monsters lies in their mobility.

Ordinary monsters do not have the initiative to attack; they will absolutely not attack unless you attack them.

Elite monsters are different; they will attack as soon as anyone gets within 10 meters of them or makes a noise within 5 meters of them.

Therefore, when a dedicated Awakener encounters an elite monster, they usually choose to lure it away.

Luring monsters: Use ranged attacks to lure one or two elite monsters away from the territory, then defeat them one by one.

This way, attacks won't affect other monsters, avoiding being surrounded by elite monsters.

However, Fang Xian didn't need to "lure the monster"; he only needed to snap his fingers.

"Smack!"

[Experience +1012*2]

[Experience +1012*2]*36

Five seconds later, another snap of the fingers occurred.

[Experience +1012*2]*18

Those that weren't randomly eliminated floated to Fang Xian's side and were about to unleash blue flames.

Fang Xian's eyes narrowed, and he used "soul attack" to destroy the flying "grave phosphorescence" one by one.

This process was repeated until all the "grave phosphorescent lights" were killed.

A total of 72 "Grave Phosphorus" were killed, and 145,728 experience points were gained under double experience. I only need 4,023 more experience points to reach level 39.

Fang Xian was surprised; he hadn't expected it to be so fast.

The main reason Fang Xian was able to level up so quickly was because of his powerful equipment and the "double experience card" bonus. Otherwise, he would have to spend most of his time killing monsters, just like ordinary people.

Fang Xian looked around, searching for the BOSS, when the ground began to tremble and a huge figure suddenly emerged from the ground in front of him.

It is as tall as a two- or three-story building, its body is formed from mud, and it is human-shaped. It holds a stick that is twenty or thirty meters long and covered with white paper.

The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village:

Grade: BOSS

Level: 41

Health: 12000/12000

Blue Amount: 500/500

Strength: 250

Spirit: 100

Agility: 50

Defense: 100

Skills: Filial Piety Stick, Mourning Curse, Terrifying

The "Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" let out a sharp roar.

"Who is it!"

"Who has disturbed my eternal slumber!"

Fang Xian was seeing such a huge monster for the first time, and couldn't help but take a second look out of curiosity.

"Teacher Liu, it says I disturbed its eternal sleep."

"How about we do it a favor?"

"What kind of help?"

Liu Shishuang looked at Fang Xian in surprise, as she remembered that Fang Xian was not a warm-hearted person.

As she expected, Fang Xian indeed didn't have anything good to say.

Fang Xian grinned mischievously and pointed at the "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village".

"Since it likes to sleep forever, I will be a good person and let it sleep forever."

Thanos's Gauntlet's third ability - petrification.

The "villager corpse" who was still brandishing the filial piety stick suddenly turned to stone and became unable to move.

Fang Xian's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed two "soul attacks" in quick succession, striking the "Old Corpse of the Mountain Village".

Two red damage numbers appeared.

-6200

-6200

With two attacks, the "Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" was instantly reduced to zero health and fell into a deep sleep.

[Experience +6666*2]

After gaining 13,332 experience points, Fang Xian successfully leveled up to level 39.

[Normal level joss paper money dungeon cleared]

[Customs clearance time: 00:09:53]

[Rating: SSS]

[Reward: 12100 Experience Points]

Fang Xian wasn't surprised at all by the dungeon's rewards; it was just an ordinary dungeon, and he didn't expect it to bring any unexpected surprises.

He walked up to the "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" to see if anything good had been dropped.

[The offered chicken: This chicken, which took two and a half years to arrive, is the main material for the spherical equipment.]

[Grave Grass: Dancing on the grave grass can taunt monsters within 10 meters.]

[Filial Piety Stick: Specifically designed to strike unfilial descendants; a single hit will cause the child to cry for one minute. An essential tool for mourning.]

[White Paper: After use, you will receive 10,000 sheets of white paper, the best item to burn for your ancestors.]

Fang Xian was speechless. Who the hell came up with all these "props"?

What bad luck!

He didn't take anything, and even spat.

Fang Xian took out an "Intermediate Experience Pill" and handed it to Liu Shishuang.

"have eaten."

Liu Shishuang took it as a matter of course and swallowed it directly.

[Ding! Liu Shishuang consumed one "Intermediate Experience Pill," and received a refund of 3,000 pills.]

The biggest gain from this dungeon run was these two "Intermediate Experience Pills," which also raised my level by one, making the trip worthwhile.

There are still 49 minutes left on the "Double EXP Card," so we can't waste it.

Fang Xian stroked Liu Shishuang's head with satisfaction and gave the instructions:

"Let's continue farming dungeons using the same method as before."

Liu Shishuang pushed up her frameless glasses and nodded silently.

Fang Xian used the "teleport command" to teleport back to the villa.

It's just that Fang Xian has a lot of "teleportation commands," otherwise if people knew that he used "teleportation commands" in this way, they would probably all call him a "wasteful good-for-nothing."

After seeing Fang Xian disappear, Liu Shishuang clicked "Exit Instance" and returned to the Hall of Professional Awakeners.

She chose the [Normal Level Ghost Money Instance] again and, using the same method, Fang Xian used "Free Transfer" to enter the instance once more.

This time, he simply snapped his fingers and cleared the level as quickly as possible.

[Customs clearance time: 00:05:43]

[Customs clearance time: 00:05:13]

[Customs clearance time: 00:05:10]

Repeat this process four times, and Liu Shishuang will reach the maximum number of times she can enter the dungeon today.

Fang Xian nodded; these basic concepts were all explained in the textbooks.

This is precisely the limitation that allows dedicated Awakened Ones to level up quickly.

Each dedicated Awakener has a fixed number of times they can enter a dungeon each day, and the number of times they can enter a dungeon varies depending on their level.

In other words, the lower your level, the fewer times you can enter each day; the higher your level, the more times you can enter.

After clearing the dungeon four times, Fang Xian gained 1.6 million experience points, which allowed him to reach level 42.

[Passive Skill: Contract Amplification (Enhanced): Available Contract Partners: 5, Current Contracts: 3/5.]

A new contract slot has been unlocked; now I need to carefully plan how to allocate resources.
