“Huh?”
“There’s something this good?!”
Su Mubai’s eyes lit up at the words, and he immediately nodded, “Yes!”
As long as he learned Appraisal Skill, he would definitely be able to appraise Epic-level equipment directly after getting it for free.
He would never have to ask others for help again.
“You can learn it, but you’ll have to pay tuition.”
Huai Jian raised an eyebrow, looking at Su Mubai with a half-smile.
“How much?”
Su Mubai looked at the 658 gold coins in his backpack, feeling a bit lacking in confidence.
Appraising a Dark Gold-grade item cost 100 gold coins, so how much would it cost to learn Appraisal Skill?
Huai Jian slowly raised his hand and spread his palm.
“500?”
Su Mubai asked tentatively, though he didn’t hold much hope in his heart.
In addition to their main profession, players could also have a sub-profession, such as Blacksmith, Alchemist, Tailor, etc.
Appraiser was also a sub-profession, but it was a hidden profession among sub-professions.
Although he didn’t think it would be that cheap, he only had that much money in his backpack, and any more would be unaffordable.
To his surprise, Huai Jian actually nodded directly: “Yes, 500.”
Then he flipped his hand, and an ancient inscribed gold coin appeared in his palm. He continued, “But it’s not an Ordinary gold coin, but this kind of ancient gold coin.”
【Ancient Gold Coin】: The first batch of gold coins ever minted, no longer in circulation, and of no value, but in the eyes of some who enjoy collecting ancient coins, their value far exceeds that of Ordinary gold coins.
“Contact me when you’ve collected 500 ancient gold coins, and I’ll teach you Appraisal Skill then.”
Huai Jian said, preparing to turn and leave, “It’s best not to disturb me while I’m sketching before you find them.”
【Prompt: Huai Jian has added you as a friend.】
【You have accepted the hidden quest “Collect Ancient Gold Coins.”】
【Quest Content: Collect 500 ancient gold coins for Huai Jian.】
【Quest Reward: Obtain the sub-profession skill “Basic Appraisal Skill.”】
A series of system prompts sounded, and only then did Su Mubai come back to his senses.
Ancient gold coins?
Why did this sound so familiar?
He suddenly remembered something and immediately opened his backpack, instantly spotting the ancient copper coin in the first Space.
【Ancient Copper Coin】: A copper coin no longer in circulation, of unknown value. In the eyes of some who enjoy collecting ancient coins, it should be worth 10 copper coins.
What was this called?
He searched high and low for something, only to find it effortlessly!
Copper coins became ancient copper coins after Promotion, so gold coins naturally became ancient gold coins after Promotion!
Looking at Huai Jian’s departing back, a hint of joy flashed in Su Mubai’s eyes, and he quickly called out:
“Senior, please wait.”
At the same time, he had a thought.
【Calamity】!
【Target: 500 gold coins in the backpack】
“Promote to first-tier.”
【You have obtained 500 ancient gold coins】
The next moment, an ancient gold coin identical to the one Huai Jian had just taken out appeared in Su Mubai’s backpack, with a ×500 mark in the bottom right corner.
“What do you want now, kid? Are you really…”
Huai Jian turned around impatiently, but his words abruptly stopped.
The next moment, he instantly appeared in front of Su Mubai, picked up the gold coin he was holding in his hand, and carefully examined it.
“No… you… I…”
After confirming that these were all ancient gold coins, Huai Jian became incoherent.
Painting and collecting ancient coins were his two major hobbies.
Although these things were not valuable items, their quantity was not large.
This kid actually took out 500 at once?!
And in this broken Newbie Village?
Su Mubai handed all 500 ancient gold coins to Huai Jian and smiled slightly: “Senior, can you teach me Appraisal Skill now?”
Huai Jian flipped his hand, put away the ancient gold coins, and for the first time, carefully scrutinized the young man in front of him.
He could understand him possessing Epic-level equipment, but ancient gold coins were definitely not something found in a Newbie Village.
However, Huai Jian didn’t ask Su Mubai where he got them from, only giving him a meaningful glance:
“You really gave me a surprise, kid.”
“Take it.”
【You have completed the hidden quest “Collect Ancient Gold Coins” and obtained the skill book “Basic Appraisal Skill.”】
This time, Huai Jian did not linger. He took a step, soared into the air, and left only one sentence behind.
“Kid, contact me when you have ten thousand ancient gold coins. I’ll give you a surprise then too.”
【You have accepted the hidden quest “Collect Ancient Gold Coins 2.”】
【Quest Content: Collect ten thousand ancient gold coins for Huai Jian.】
【Quest Reward: Unknown.】
In the blink of an eye, Huai Jian’s figure disappeared from Su Mubai’s sight.
He wondered if Huai Jian had remembered some urgent matter, as he didn’t even bother to sketch anymore.
Looking at Huai Jian’s avatar in his friend list, Su Mubai smiled slightly.
He wondered if he had just connected with a local?
He had a faint feeling that Huai Jian was definitely not simple.
Both his aerial flight and his instant kill of a Skeleton Warrior with nearly 100,000 health proved Huai Jian’s strength.
How could such a person simply be a part-time Appraiser in 9527 Novice Village?
“I wonder when I’ll have such strength.”
Shaking his head with a smile, Su Mubai picked up the 【Basic Appraisal Skill】 and had a thought.
【Calamity】!
【Target: Basic Appraisal Skill】
【Prompt: Please select a Promotion tier: First-tier/Second-tier/Third-tier.】(Click for details)
Option 1: Promote to 【Intermediate Appraisal Skill】, no consumption.
Option 2: Sublimate to 【Advanced Appraisal Skill】, consumes 50,000 gold coins.
Option 3: Calamity to 【Master Appraisal Skill】, consumes 500 years of lifespan.
“Promote to first-tier.”
【You have obtained “Intermediate Appraisal Skill.”】
【Intermediate Appraisal Skill】: After learning, gain the sub-profession “Intermediate Appraiser.”
After Promotion, the silver eye on the book was noticeably more complex.
Su Mubai didn’t hesitate and learned it directly.
The next moment, the book in his hand transformed into a silver light and merged into his glabella.
【Congratulations on changing to the hidden sub-profession “Intermediate Appraiser.”】
【You have learned the new skill “Intermediate Appraisal Skill.”】
With the sub-profession, Su Mubai’s second panel opened.
【Sub-profession Panel】
【Player: White Night】
【Sub-profession: Intermediate Appraiser】
【Skill: Intermediate Appraisal Skill】
【Intermediate Appraisal Skill】
0/10000
(As skill proficiency increases, appraisal success rate will slightly improve.)
Dark Gold-grade item appraisal success rate: 60%
Epic-level item appraisal success rate: 10%
Casting time 5 seconds, cooldown 60 seconds, consumes 1000 mana points.
Sub-profession skills do not occupy the player’s skill slots.
Su Mubai took out the 【staff of the dead languages】 and immediately began appraising.
Buzz~
His palm glowed with silver light, slowly covering the 【staff of the dead languages】.
5 seconds later, the system prompt sounded.
【Prompt: Appraisal failed.】
Failure was expected, and Su Mubai wasn’t in a hurry. Anyway, he didn’t need to do the leveling himself.
Without Huai Jian, Qingqing Grassland became Su Mubai’s backyard.
The Skeleton army worked within a 500-meter radius, while Su Mubai sat back on the previous boulder.
After waiting a minute, he used Appraisal Skill on the 【staff of the dead languages】 again.

#35Chapter 35: Necklace of the Will of the Dead and Robe of the Death Speaker
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
“Killed a Level 10 Wild Buffalo, gained an additional 50% bonus for exceeding level, experience points +30.”
“Killed a Level 10 Elite Prairie Wolf, gained an additional 50% bonus for exceeding level, experience points +150.”
“Killed a Level 10 Enhanced Elite Grassland Evil Wolf, gained an additional 50% bonus for exceeding level, experience points +450.”
...
The Skeleton Legion worked tirelessly, and Su Mubai's experience bar steadily increased, getting closer and closer to Level 10.
He appraised continuously 4 times, consuming a full 4000 mana points, but still failed to appraise it successfully.
“This broken Appraisal Skill.”
Su Mubai grumbled.
However, he also knew in his heart that with only a 10% success rate, it certainly wouldn't be easy to appraise it successfully.
This thing didn't have a guaranteed mechanism either.
While waiting for the skill cooldown, Su Mubai took out the Undead Necklace and, with a thought, activated Calamity!
“Target: Undead Necklace.”
“Prompt: Please choose the Promotion grade: First-tier/Second-tier/Third-tier.” (Click to view details)
“Promote to First-tier.”
He was too lazy to check the details; after all, besides freebies, he couldn't afford anything else.
“You have obtained the Epic-level item 'necklace of undead will'.”
“necklace of undead will”
Necklace Accessory
Level: 10-60 (Follows player level, increases every 5 levels, up to a maximum of Level 60.)
Epic-level Item
Durability 500/500
Equipment Requirement: Spirit 150
Basic Attributes: (Level 10)
Spell Power +120
Health +800
Mana +1500
Spirit +50
Constitution +15
Agility +15
Affixes:
1. Spell Power increased by 10%.
2. Attacks inflict multiple curses, reducing the target's dual defense by 10 points, attack speed by 10%, casting speed by 10%, and movement speed by 10%. (Summoned creatures can also trigger this effect)
Skills:
“Undead Will”
Passive Effect: The influence of charm, fear, and hypnosis-type negative statuses on you is reduced by 80%.
Active Effect: Removes one charm, fear, or hypnosis-type negative status affecting you, and grants immunity to these three types of negative statuses for the next 5 seconds.
Instant cast, cooldown 120 seconds.
(Undead Will, unbreakable!)
“If Epic-level is this strong, what about Legendary-grade and Mythic Grade?”
This was the first time Su Mubai had seen the full attributes of an Epic-level item, and even he couldn't help but be amazed.
From Dark Gold-grade to Epic-level, although it was only a single Promotion, the overall strength more than doubled!
While the basic attributes only increased by half, the affixes and skills saw a significant boost.
“Still need 50% experience.”
Looking at his current experience bar, Su Mubai put the necklace of undead will back into his backpack.
The minimum level for this equipment was 10, so he couldn't wear it yet.
However, with the Skeleton Legion's monster-grinding speed, it wouldn't take too long.
Once Appraisal Skill's cooldown ended, Su Mubai continued to try appraising the staff of the dead languages.
After seeing the attributes of the necklace of undead will, he grew even more excited about his first complete Legendary-grade equipment.
Although Dylan's Crystal Ball was also Legendary-grade equipment, it was in a sealed state.
“Appraisal Failed.”
“Again!”
“Appraisal Failed.”
...
With a 10% success rate, Su Mubai completely ran out of mana without success.
“Did I exploit a bug and lose all my luck?”
Frowning, Su Mubai used Death Qi to fully restore his mana, and a minute later, he used Appraisal Skill on the robe again.
This time, he clearly felt a difference!
A silver-glowing hand slowly swept over, and the robe gradually lit up.
Buzz~
The next moment, the robe burst forth with a three-colored light, and the surrounding magical elements subtly vibrated.
“Successfully appraised an Epic-level item, Appraisal Skill proficiency +10.”
“Only 10 points, this Appraisal Skill is really hard to level up.”
Ten thousand proficiency points meant successfully appraising 1000 Epic-level items to upgrade to Advanced Appraisal Skill.
Su Mubai estimated that appraising Dark Gold-grade equipment would only increase proficiency by 1 point.
However, he didn't plan to level up this skill through proficiency.
Wouldn't freebies be better?
In the future, as long as he obtained an Intermediate Appraisal Skill book, he could directly get Advanced Appraisal Skill for free.
As for spending 50,000 gold coins to sublimate it?
Was he so rich that he had money to burn?
Pulling his thoughts back, Su Mubai didn't immediately check the robe's attributes. Instead, with a thought, he activated Calamity!
“Target: staff of the dead languages.”
“Prompt: Please choose the Promotion grade: First-tier/Second-tier/Third-tier.” (Click to view details)
“Promote to First-tier.”
“You have obtained the Legendary-grade item 'Mournful Whisperer Robe'.”
A five-colored light flashed and disappeared, and his first complete Legendary-grade equipment was in hand!
“Mournful Whisperer Robe”
Upper Garment Cloth Armor
Level: 10-120
Legendary-grade Item
Durability 1000/1000
Equipment Requirement: Undead Mage class, Spirit 300.
Basic Attributes: (Level 10)
Physical Defense +150
Magic Defense +300
Health +1500
Mana +3000
All Attributes +50
Affixes:
1. Spirit +10%
2. All Elemental Resistance +10%
3. Mana recovery speed increased by 100%.
Skills:
1. “Undead Guardian”: Passive skill, gain a shield equivalent to 300% of your Health. The shield resets every thirty minutes.
2. “Undead Whisper”: Active skill, when activated, casting speed increases by 30% and allows for dual casting for 30 seconds, cooldown 10 minutes.
(You're not hallucinating; this is indeed the Undead Whisper.)
“Dual casting?”
Su Mubai looked at the Undead Whisper skill, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Did this mean he could use two skills at once?
As for Undead Guardian, he simply ignored it.
It was indeed a good passive skill for other Undead Mages, but for him, it was just a 3-point shield resetting every thirty minutes.
What was the point?
It couldn't compare to a single strand of Life Sharing!
However, the Mournful Whisperer Robe was still very strong overall; the full attributes of Legendary-grade equipment did not disappoint Su Mubai.
It's just that the equipment requirements were a bit high. Although it could be worn from Level 10, it required the player's Spirit attribute to reach 300 points.
Most players wouldn't even be able to reach this number at Level 20.
Even Su Mubai's Spirit attribute was only 196 at this moment.
However, he wasn't too worried about this. After equipping a set of Level 10 gear, he could easily meet this requirement.
The only problem now was that he had too few top-tier Level 10 equipment that he could use.
“There should be equipment shops in the city, right?”
Su Mubai sighed, having no choice but to consider “NPC” shops.
His game progress was too fast; it would be incredibly difficult to buy equipment from other players.
If all else failed, he could still inlay gems.
With the first clear of the dungeon plus Reggie's contribution, Su Mubai already had 15 Level 1 attribute gems and 3 Level 1 critical hit gems.
Although he only had 3 Spirit Gems, he could get them for free!
“Prompt: Please choose the Promotion grade: First-tier/Second-tier/Third-tier.” (Click to view details)
Option 1: Promote to Level 2 Spirit Gem, no cost.
Option 2: Sublimate to Level 3 Spirit Gem, costs 100 gold coins per gem.
Option 3: Calamity to Level 4 Spirit Gem, costs 120 days of lifespan per gem.

Chapter 36 The Possibility of Getting Something for Free Twice
This was the first time Su Mubai had seen a lifespan consumption measured in days.
Even so, he still thought 120 days of lifespan was too expensive.
Gems could be synthesized; finding a jeweler would allow him to combine three gems into one of a higher grade.
It just required a processing fee.
Of course, the higher the grade of the gem, the lower the success rate of synthesis, which was also related to the jeweler's skill level.
The reason the consumption for Calamity to reach level four was so high could only be due to the Calamity Trait.
Su Mubai thought about it and ultimately chose to free-load.
Given Huai Jian's precedent of instantly killing Skeleton Warriors, he decided to save his lifespan to over 10 years first.
As for gold coins, after giving Huai Jian 600, he only had 158 left and needed to save them for emergencies.
You have obtained three 'Level 2 Spirit Gems'.
Level 2 Spirit Gem: Spirit +20, can only be inlaid into armor.
Incidentally, Su Mubai also free-loaded and Promoted all the remaining gems once.
Although useless to him, they could be sold for money.
Critical hit gems were clearly rarer than attribute gems, and the consumption for Transformation and Calamity directly increased fivefold.
Level 2 Critical Hit Gem: Critical Hit/Spell Critical Hit +2%, can only be inlaid into main weapons, and only one can be inlaid per equipment.
"Three Level 2 Spirit Gems means 60 Spirit, plus the upgrade and the necklace of undead will, that's enough!"
Satisfied with the equipment requirements for the Mournful Whisperer Robe, Su Mubai's mood instantly brightened.
He looked at the wild monster corpses dozens of meters away and, with a thought, activated a skill.
Tip: You have successfully extracted 2 points of Death energy from the corpses of 20 Ordinary Wild Buffaloes.
Leisurely replenishing his Death energy, Su Mubai was about to continue leveling up while lying down when a message suddenly appeared in his mind.
Approximately 500 meters to his right, a Skeleton had discovered a wild treasure chest!
"That's more like it."
Su Mubai smiled, stood up, and headed towards that coordinate.
How could a wild map that no one had explored before not have treasure chests?
Now, he had finally found one.
Wild treasure chests were immobile and could not be taken away; they could only be opened on the spot.
These types of treasure chests were either hidden in secluded places or guarded by powerful monsters.
The higher the chest's grade, the stronger the guarding monsters.
In any case, they were definitely not something players could easily obtain.
The treasure chest found by that Skeleton Warrior belonged to the latter category; it was surrounded by more than a dozen Prairie Wolves and a Wolf King, whose size was a full circle larger than a Wild Buffalo.
This was a Silver-grade BOSS; if other players encountered it, they would undoubtedly have to endure a fierce battle.
But facing Su Mubai's Skeleton Legion, a mere Silver-grade BOSS with more than a dozen enhanced elite monsters was not enough.
As Su Mubai approached, before he even had a chance to check the Wolf King's stats, he saw seven or eight Skeleton Warriors swarm it.
Heavy Blow!
-15195, -15236, -30410! ...A series of terrifying damage numbers popped up, and the Wolf King's health bar instantly vanished, causing it to fall to the ground dead.
At the same time, dozens of fireballs and hundreds of arrows arrived in an instant, providing suppressive fire for the remaining Prairie Wolves.
-2937, -2908, -6002! ...-6096, -5981, -12108! ...In a flash, the wolf pack guarding the treasure chest fell under the terrifying output of the Skeleton Legion.
The reason for such high damage was closely related to Reggie's Advanced Undead Aura.
Under the blessing of the professional characteristic, this skill increased all attributes of the Skeleton Legion by 60%!
Killed Level 10 Enhanced Elite Monster Prairie Wolf, gained an additional 50% level-skip bonus, Experience +450 points.
...Killed Level 10 Silver-grade BOSS "Prairie Wolf King", gained an additional 50% level-skip bonus, Experience +36000 points.
Looking at the screen-filling system prompts and the experience bar that suddenly jumped by nearly 10%.
Su Mubai was somewhat shocked by h

#37Chapter 37 The Ultimate Nesting Doll!
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
【You obtained the golden-grade equipment "staff of withered wood".】
【You obtained 1 golden-grade treasure map.】
"Treasure map!"
Su Mubai's eyes lit up, and he checked it immediately.
【golden-grade treasure map】: Following the guidance of the map, you will find a golden-grade treasure chest.
【Hint: Do you want to use the treasure map? If used, the treasure hunting route will be marked on the system map.】
【Please note, the final coordinates of this treasure map are located outside the Newbie Village.】
"Good heavens, are they doing a nesting doll thing here?"
Su Mubai rolled his eyes.
Who would have thought that a golden-grade treasure chest could open up the coordinates to another golden-grade treasure chest?
If a player worked so hard to kill the guardian BOSS, only to open something like this, wouldn't they be so angry they'd spit blood?
However, this treasure map held a different value for Su Mubai.
If his idea was valid, the final reward brought by this treasure map would be Legendary-grade!
Thinking of this, Su Mubai's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his hand holding the treasure map tightened unconsciously.
【Calamity】!
【Target: golden-grade treasure map!】
"Promotion to first tier!"
【You obtained 1 "dark gold-grade treasure map".】
"It worked!"
Su Mubai couldn't help but clench his fists.
He had freebie upgraded the golden-grade treasure map to Dark Gold-grade, and then he would freebie upgrade the Dark Gold-grade treasure chest he found to Epic-level.
After opening the treasure chest, he could also freebie upgrade the items obtained inside to Legendary-grade!
Win three times!
This is the ultimate nesting doll!
Before opening the treasure chest, Su Mubai never expected that a mere silver-grade treasure chest could ultimately bring Legendary-grade rewards.
Compared to this treasure map, the golden-grade staff of withered wood was simply not worth mentioning.
However, Su Mubai still upgraded the staff to Dark Gold-grade first.
Mainly because he was currently holding a level 5 bronze equipment 【Wooden Wand】, in comparison, the Dark Gold-grade 【staff of withered wood】 was much more appealing.
【staff of withered wood】
Staff
Level 10
Dark Gold-grade item
Durability: 200/200
Equipment Requirement: Spirit 100
Spell Power +280
Spirit +30
Agility +10
Constitution +10
After triggering a spell critical hit, the casting time of the next skill is reduced by one second.
Includes Skill:
【Withered Wood Comes to Spring】: Restores target's health equivalent to 100% of your spell power, instant cast, cooldown 120 seconds.
(Even withered wood has spring.)
Although this equipment was not very suitable for Su Mubai to use, having it was better than not having it.
At least it increased his Spirit by 30 points, what more could he ask for?
Casually throwing the 【staff of withered wood】 into his backpack, Su Mubai picked up the 【dark gold-grade treasure map】 and chose to use it.
The next moment, the yellowish parchment slowly dissipated, merging into the system map.
Immediately after, the smile on Su Mubai's face disappeared.
【Hint: The route has been marked, the final coordinates are located in the wilderness of Jingli City in the Sakura Kingdom. Please go to Jingli City in the Sakura Kingdom to start your treasure hunt.】
"What is this?"
Su Mubai instantly went from cheerful to not cheerful.
After upgrading this broken treasure map, it actually went abroad!
According to the information provided by the Ten Thousand Realms Game, national borders will not be opened for the time being.
The specific opening time will depend on the progress of Blue Star players in the game.
In other words, the Legendary-grade reward cannot be obtained for now.
The envisioned ultimate nesting doll couldn't continue after the first step.
"Happy for nothing."
Looking at the slowly disappearing empty treasure chest, Su Mubai pouted, sat down on the spot, and continued to level up.
More than an hour later, a golden light rose up.
【Congratulations to player "White Night" for reaching Level 10, all four stats +1, skill points +1, free attribute points +15.】
【Hint: Your level has reached the Newbie Village limit. Please find the Village Chief to be teleported to the city belonging to 9527 Novice Village, otherwise you will no longer gain experience points.】
【Congratulations on becoming the first player in the Ten Thousand Realms Game Blue Star Zone to reach Level 10, you have obtained the title ""leading""".】
【Hint: A Blue Star Zone announcement is about to be made.】
【Since you have reached Level 10, the 9527 Novice Village level ranking has been opened early.】
【Hint: A Newbie Village announcement is about to be made.】
A series of prompt sounds rang out, and Su Mubai was slightly stunned.
Can being the first to reach Level 10 also trigger a full zone announcement?
What an unexpected surprise!
【""leading""】: When wearing this title, experience points gained from all channels are increased by 20%.
Each player can obtain multiple titles, but only one can be active at the same time.
Each time you switch titles, it takes 30 minutes to officially take effect.
Su Mubai's first reaction was to use 【Calamity】 for a freebie.
However, to his disappointment, this thing, like the 【Summoning Space】, was just an attribute, not a specific item, so it couldn't be promoted.
"Forget it, a 20% experience increase is not bad."
Wearing the title 【""leading""】, Su Mubai waved his hand to recall the Skeleton army into the Summoning Space and took out a Newbie Village return scroll.
He had bought it when he returned to the village before, it only cost 10 silver coins per scroll, which was very cheap for him.
A white light flashed, and Su Mubai's figure disappeared from the Qingqing Grassland, leaving only a pile of unrefreshed monster corpses.
At the same time, the system announcement also sounded.
However, the content was not triggered by Su Mubai.
【9527 Novice Village Announcement: Congratulations to "Overlord Guild" for clearing the hard difficulty of the "Mist Land" dungeon for the first time. This is hereby announced, and we hope that the majority of players will learn from them to obtain generous rewards!】×3
At the entrance of the Mist Forest, Grand Ambition led his team members out of the dungeon.
The system announcement in his ears made him feel happy.
He finally earned some face!
While he was clearing the dungeon, the Overlord Guild did not stop recruiting.
Several promoted Elders worked tirelessly and successfully reached the maximum number of members for a Level 1 guild during this period.
3000 people!
This number accounted for almost one-tenth of the entire 9527 Novice Village.
One can imagine how large the power of the Overlord Guild is now.
Although the strength of these players was not strong, it also brought great improvement to Grand Ambition.
Now that he had successfully cleared the hard difficulty of the Mist Forest for the first time, it made him feel even better.
"Get ready, we'll tackle the nightmare difficulty immediately!"
Grand Ambition looked at the admiring gazes of the surrounding players and deliberately shouted out.
Just at this moment, five white lights flashed, and Rich Under Heaven and Maple Leaf Xiao Xiao and others walked out of the dungeon portal.
The system announcement that followed immediately made Grand Ambition's face turn ugly.
【9527 Novice Village Announcement: Congratulations to player "Rich Under Heaven" for leading his team to clear the nightmare difficulty of the "Mist Land" dungeon for the first time. This is hereby announced, and we hope that the majority of players will learn from them to obtain generous rewards!】×3
At this moment, Grand Ambition felt like a clown just now.
He looked at Rich Under Heaven and the others in disbelief and asked in a deep voice:
"How could you clear the nightmare difficulty so quickly?"
"Good luck."
Rich Under Heaven smiled slightly.
Seeing this, Grand Ambition snorted coldly, his eyes becoming somewhat cold.
He had already learned from the guild chat channel why the other party was able to clear the nightmare difficulty of the Mist Forest so quickly.
It was all because of White Night!
Thinking that he had lost the opportunity to clear the nightmare difficulty for the first time because of this, Grand Ambition was filled with anger.
You, White Night, why did you only sell equipment and skills to Rich Under Heaven?
Do you think I, the dignified Guild Leader of Overlord, don't have money?
Grand Ambition also remembered the friend request that White Night had rejected, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes, marking another score against White Night in his heart.
Looking at Grand Ambition's gaze, Rich Under Heaven and the others frowned, turned around, and prepared to continue clearing the dungeon.
All the first clears were gone, and the next challenge they were going to face was the hell difficulty!
Grand Ambition also prepared to start the dungeon again, also challenging the hell difficulty.
But the announcement that followed made both of them stop at the same time.

【Blue Star Zone Announcement: Congratulations to Divine Dragon Empire player "White Night" for becoming the first player in the Blue Star Zone to reach Level 10. This is a special announcement, and we hope the majority of players will learn from him to obtain generous rewards!】 x10
Ten consecutive system announcements echoed throughout all Newbie Villages in the Forbidden Land.
The sensation this time was no less than the last.
Players from various countries discussed heatedly.
"How in the world did he level up? How could he level up so fast!"
"How long has the game been open? He's already Level 10. I'm only Level 4, is this right?"
"After Level 5, the experience required for leveling up is so much. Did White Night use a cheat?"
"Bro, do you even hear what you're saying? Where would the Ten Thousand Realms Game get cheats?"
"Can we report White Night? I think he's affecting the game balance too much."
"Balance? Where is the balance in this game? For the same monster, I have to hack at it for a long time, while a lucky player with an S-grade Talent kills it in one hit."
"Even if White Night has an SSS-Rank Talent, what about the other players who awakened SSS-Rank Talent? Why is it always White Night triggering the announcements?"
...
The subject of discussion among players from various countries in the chat channel was also confused at this moment.
Felix from the White Eagle Empire, Tsukuyomi from the Sakura Kingdom, Sun Descendant from the Korya Kingdom...
Including Three Foot Green Edge from the Divine Dragon Empire, all players who had awakened SSS-Rank Talent in the various Newbie Villages of the Forbidden Land were shocked by this announcement.
These top experts looked at their levels.
A thought simultaneously popped into their minds.
"How did White Night level up? Why is he so much faster than us?"
Their levels were uniformly Level 7.
According to the experience increase after Level 5, it would take at least half a day to reach Level 10.
Before, when White Night was the first to clear the Disaster-level difficulty dungeon, they could comfort themselves by saying it was because they were unlucky and didn't trigger the Disaster-level dungeon.
Now that White Night was leveling up so quickly, it truly startled them.
They also had SSS-Rank Talent, so why could White Night be "leading"?
Is this reasonable?
...
Divine Dragon Empire, 9526 Novice Village.
Zhao Xu and Liu Ruyan successfully completed the first clear of the Ordinary difficulty and were currently tackling the Hard difficulty Mist Forest.
The Newbie Village they were in clearly did not have any existence that had awakened more powerful Talents; otherwise, the first clear would not have fallen to them.
"It's him again."
Hearing the system announcement in his ear, Zhao Xu slightly narrowed his eyes:
"Ruyan, what's the probability that he's Su Mubai?"
"How would I know."
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes, then reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear.
It was just a simple action, yet it was extremely charming, making Zhao Xu slightly bend over.
"No matter if he's Su Mubai or not, as long as I want to, I can definitely get him."
Liu Ruyan smiled charmingly, her voice full of confidence.
"Hahaha, I definitely believe in your charm, my dear."
Zhao Xu heard this and nodded with a smile, agreeing: "But I still hope he's Su Mubai, that way it'll be much simpler."
"If it's that guy, he'll definitely listen to everything you say."
"Why think so much? Let's hurry and level up. We'll talk about it after we leave the Newbie Village."
With beautiful aspirations for the future, the two continued their journey of clearing dungeons and leveling up.
...
Compared to other Newbie Villages, 9527 Novice Village had one extra announcement.
【9527 Novice Village Announcement: Due to player "White Night" reaching Level 10, the Level Ranking for this Newbie Village has been opened early.】
【9527 Novice Village Level Ranking】
First Place: White Night, Level 10, No Faction
Second Place: Maple Leaf Xiao Xiao, Level 5, No Faction
Third Place: Ah Wei, Level 5, No Faction
Fourth Place: Getting Up is Difficult, Level 5, No Faction
Fifth Place: Rich Under Heaven, Level 5, No Faction
Sixth Place: Cotton Candy, Level 5, No Faction
Seventh Place: Grand Ambition, Level 5, Overlord Guild
Eighth Place: One Sword Seals the Throat, Level 5, Overlord Guild
Ninth Place: Turkey Flavored Rice Cracker, Level 5, Overlord Guild
Tenth Place: Milk White Snow Child, Level 5, Overlord Guild
The Newbie Village Level Ranking only displayed the top ten. Aside from White Night, everyone else was uniformly Level 5.
Twenty thousand experience points were not that easy for them to grind.
One reason was that low-difficulty dungeons didn't give that much experience, and the other was that experience was split when in a party.
Of course, if they didn't team up, they wouldn't be able to clear the dungeons either.
The appearance of the Level Ranking immediately caused heated discussion among players.
The 9527 Novice Village chat channel was once again flooded with messages.
"White Night is simply not human! He's double the level of everyone else on the ranking!"
"This isn't just simply double! The experience needed to go from Level 5 to 6 alone is more than the total experience from Level 0 to 5!"
"It's too exaggerated! By the time I leave the Newbie Village, White Night will probably be Level 20."
"Small, your perspective is small. Level 30 isn't impossible either."
"Rich Under Heaven's team is also really strong. Their leveling speed surpassed the people from Overlord Guild, and Overlord has a 20% experience BUFF!"
"Nonsense, they just cleared the Nightmare difficulty Mist Land. It's normal for them to be ahead, but they should be surpassed by Overlord soon."
"I heard One Sword Seals the Throat's Talent is also S-grade. I didn't expect even he would join Overlord Guild."
"What's the use? He's still only half of White Night's level."
...
Outside the Mist Land dungeon portal, Grand Ambition closed the Level Ranking with a gloomy expression.
It was one thing for White Night to reach Level 10 so quickly, but they, who had a 20% experience increase BUFF, were actually surpassed by Rich Under Heaven's team.
This was simply outrageous!
His gaze swept over Rich Under Heaven and the others, and Grand Ambition silently entered the dungeon.
"Brother White Night is leveling up too fast!"
Cotton Candy exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's like he's on a rocket."
Ah Wei also nodded in agreement.
When they traded before, he was Level 8, and they were Level 5.
Now, after just the time it took to clear one dungeon, they were still Level 5, but White Night had already reached Level 10!
Was leveling up this simple for him?
"You guys can do whatever you want first, I'm going back."
Rich Under Heaven looked at the 10 primary life soul stones in his backpack and took out a return scroll.
He had originally planned to give these soul stones to White Night later.
But the consecutive system announcements made him change his mind.
He had to find a way to build a good relationship with an expert like White Night.
Even if the other party didn't join his team, a good relationship would allow him to buy some good things from him.
Unconsciously, Rich Under Heaven's thoughts had quietly changed, without even him noticing.
...
A white light flashed, and Su Mubai appeared in the 9527 Novice Village teleportation square.
Hearing the announcements of Rich Under Heaven and Overlord Guild's first clear of the dungeon, the corners of his mouth slightly curved up.
More soul stones!
The next moment, a white light lit up beside Su Mubai, and the pot-bellied Rich Under Heaven appeared before him.
"Brother White Night, these are the 10 primary life soul stones from the first clear reward."
"Don't forget your brother if you get any good stuff in the future."
Rich Under Heaven traded the soul stones to Su Mubai and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, the price will definitely satisfy you."
【Hint: Your Contract 2 with Rich Under Heaven has been fulfilled.】
Su Mubai slightly nodded:
"As long as you have money, there will naturally be no shortage of good things."
"Contact me after you leave the Newbie Village."
Saying that, he waved his hand and turned to walk towards the Village Chief's house.
Neither the Skeleton Set nor the B-grade skill book 【Thunderous Strike】 were things that Rich Under Heaven could afford right now.
In a few days, that would be the best time to sell these things.
For now, the top priority was to be the first player to leave the Newbie Village.

The layout of the 9527 Novice Village was very simple, and Su Mubai easily found the Village Chief's house according to the map.
This house was not much different from other buildings. The Village Chief was an Ordinary-looking old man.
Even his name was so Ordinary that it was easy to forget as soon as you turned around.
【Village Chief Li Shan】
Village Chief of 9527 Novice Village
Level: 10
HP: 2000/2000
"Cough, cough... I didn't expect a Descender to reach level 10 so quickly."
Upon seeing Su Mubai, a hint of shock clearly flashed across Village Chief Li Shan's face.
"Village Chief, I want to leave the Newbie Village."
Su Mubai got straight to the point, directly stating his intention.
"Go ahead. In the future, this Forbidden Land will eventually become the world of you Descenders."
Village Chief Li Shan's expression was somewhat complex. He then turned and walked towards the courtyard:
"Come with me."
Soon, he led Su Mubai to a teleportation array.
"Our village belongs to East Sea City, one of the Ten Great First-Tier Main Cities of the Divine Dragon Empire, and also the most prosperous coastal city in the empire."
Village Chief Li Shan pointed to the teleportation array, introducing Su Mubai's next destination.
"Go in. East Sea City is where the real beginning is."
"Thank you, Village Chief."
Su Mubai nodded and stepped into the teleportation array.
There was no opening quest as imagined, nor was any teleportation fee required. Village Chief Li Shan simply activated the teleportation array directly.
White light shone, and Su Mubai's figure disappeared into the teleportation array.
"The chaotic era of the Forbidden Land is coming. I wonder how many people will die this time."
Village Chief Li Shan sighed deeply, turned back to his original spot, and continued to wait for the appearance of the nex

AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
【Death Gaze】: (SSS-grade) Level 1 (0/50), Active Skill.
Gaze upon the target, incinerating their soul.
Skill Effects:
1. Deals 500% of magic power as true damage per second, lasting 10 seconds.
2. Creatures gazed upon will be continuously affected by Fear.
3. All creatures with a Life level lower than yours will have all their attributes forcibly reduced by 20% the moment they are gazed upon. This effect's activation is determined solely by Life level and cannot be mitigated by any resistance.
4. Creatures killed by Death Gaze will suffer extreme agony and fall into a Weakened state upon revival, reducing all attributes by 40% for 12 hours.
Instant cast, 60-second cooldown, consumes 5% of maximum mana.
No channeling required after casting, maximum attack range 100 meters.
(Where your gaze falls, Death follows like a shadow.)
The skill description for Death Gaze left Su Mubai dumbfounded.
Is this an SSS-grade skill?
500% true damage per second, continuous fear, forced 20% reduction in all attributes, and 12 hours of weakness after revival.
Any single one of these effects would make for a powerful skill.
Furthermore, this skill is an instant cast and requires no channeling.
It's simply heaven-defying!
"It takes effect just by looking at the target?"
Su Mubai couldn't help but mutter.
"Isn't this that divine skill where whoever you stare at, dies?"
He found it hard to imagine which player could withstand his 500% magic power true damage.
Even more terrifying, there was a small mark in the bottom right corner of the Death Gaze skill icon.
This mark was a humanoid phantom, representing the influence of Su Mubai's Calamity Trait class trait.
Effect doubled!
10 times true damage per second, 200-meter attack range.
At this moment, Su Mubai just wanted to ask, who else dares to challenge him!
With Death Gaze, he finally wasn't solely reliant on his Skeleton army for damage.
The only confusion was the description in the third skill effect.
"I wonder how Life level is determined?"
Su Mubai stroked his chin, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
But soon, he shook his head.
He definitely wouldn't figure this out just by looking; he'd know naturally after using it a few more times in the future.
Moreover, this wasn't the final form of Death Gaze.
Su Mubai took a deep breath, feeling slightly nervous.
This was his first time getting a free Promotion to an SSS-grade skill, and the anticipation was second only to exploiting the bug during character creation and getting the Disaster class.
【Disaster】!
【Target: Death Gaze】
However, this time, the system prompt sound that rang in Su Mubai's ears was completely different from before.
【Sorry, this skill has reached the limit of the Forbidden Land and cannot be affected by Disaster.】
It actually failed!
Since exploiting the bug to get the BUG-level talent 【Disaster】, this was the second time Su Mubai had encountered this situation.
The first time was when he wanted to Promote 【Disaster】 again, but the Ten Thousand Realms Game directly fixed the bug.
He still remembered the system prompt at that time.
【Sorry, this skill's grade has exceeded the limit and cannot be affected by Disaster.】
Although both attempts failed, the descriptions were vastly different.
"The limit of the Forbidden Land?"
He carefully examined every word in the system prompt, and some guesses formed in his mind.
It seems that to raise skills above SSS-grade, he must leave the Forbidden Land.
At the same time, he thought of a question.
Previously, when he used 【Disaster】 on 【harens's crystal ball】 in the Mist Land, three options indeed appeared!
At that time, he chose the free Promotion, upgrading this quest item from Epic-level to Legendary-grade.
Then the second option was the so-called highest grade—Mythic Grade.
In that case, what about the third option?
An item surpassing Mythic Grade?
What grade is that?
Why can equipment surpass Mythic Grade, but skills cannot surpass SSS-grade?
"Is the grade of SSS skills actually one step higher than Mythic Grade?"
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Su Mubai could only make some rough guesses for now.
However, none of this helped; the final result was that SSS-grade skills were the temporary limit anyway.
Unable to get it for free, Su Mubai could only give up.
However, due to the existence of the Calamity Trait class trait, even for the same SSS-grade skill, the effect he used was double that of other players.
From Level 9 to Level 10, although he only leveled up once, Su Mubai's strength underwent an earth-shattering change.
His Spirit attribute met the requirement, so Su Mubai directly put on the 【Mournful Whisperer Robe】.
A deep black robe instantly covered his body, and the light gray runes adorning the robe added a touch of mystery to Su Mubai.
A faint Aura of Death lingered, giving off a feeling of "do not approach living people".
Su Mubai summoned his attribute panel to check his current monstrous stats.
【Attribute Panel】
【Player: White Night】
【Level: 10 (0%)】
【Class: Death Overlord】 (Exclusive Hidden Class)
【Sub-class: Intermediate Appraiser】
【Spirit 490】
【Agility 286】
【Constitution 261】
【Strength 211】
【Health: 1/1】 (For unknown reasons, the maximum limit cannot be permanently increased.)
【Life Sharing: 100 Million/100 Million】 (Specific value 100,584,000, sum of all Skeleton health doubled.)
【Mana: 38900/38900】 (1 Spirit = 60 Mana)
【Magic Power: 2497】 (1 Spirit = 3 Magic Power)
【Magic Crit: 35%】
【Crit Damage: 250%】
【Physical Defense: 467】
【Magic Defense: 1825】
【Elemental Resistance: All Elements 10%】
【Exclusive Talent: Disaster (Unique Forbidden-grade)】
【Class Skills: Scorching (E), Summon Advanced Skeleton (B), Summoning Space Expansion (B), Advanced Undead Aura (A), Life Sharing (S), Death Summons (SS), Death Extraction Feedback (SS), Death Gaze (SSS)】
【Summoning Space: 340/340】
【Equipment: Omitted】
【Class Exclusive: Death Scripture Lv10】
【Lifespan: Less than three years】
Su Mubai closed the attribute panel, slightly trembling. He was so shocked by his exaggerated stats that he didn't know what to say.
What kind of world is the Myriad Realms anyway?
Is this panel truly what a Level 10 player should have?!
He wasn't even fully equipped yet!
Just the Death Scripture and two Legendary-grade pieces of equipment brought him a +200 boost to all attributes.
Starting at 1 point, Strength, which had never increased except for the 4 main stats gained from leveling up, now had 211 points.
Magic Power was nearly 2500 points, and Mana had even exaggeratedly surpassed thirty thousand.
But compared to the terrifying number on the Life Sharing health bar, these were simply not worth mentioning!
That value exceeding one hundred million lingered in Su Mubai's mind.
Qualitative change and quantitative change superimposed on each other, ultimately creating a BUG-level existence.
All of this was thanks to the two Calamity Trait traits.
Compared to skills in the Ten Thousand Realms Game, the Calamity Trait traits were completely BUGs!
He even had some doubts, if there were a Level 10 Mythic Grade BOSS, would its health bar be as long as his?
"If I keep developing like this, will I be banned by the Ten Thousand Realms Game?"
As this thought just arose in his mind, Su Mubai's pupils sharply contracted.
A white light flashed before his eyes, and a figure walked out from the white light.
"I didn't expect there to be someone among the Descenders who awakened this kind of power."
"Little guy, you are very lucky, and also very unfortunate."

#41Chapter 41 Situ Ji
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
The old man who suddenly appeared was wearing a magic robe, with the hair of a crane and the face of a child.
In his hand, he held an unremarkable staff, which looked like a mere branch with no ornamentation.
He simply stood there, yet he gave Su Mubai immense pressure.
This feeling was like an Ordinary person facing a vast ocean.
Boundless and unfathomable!
【Situ Ji】
City Lord of East Sea City
Elder of Divine Dragon Hall
Level: ???
HP: ???
(The person with the highest status in East Sea City.)
"Greetings, City Lord."
After seeing Situ Ji's information, Su Mubai quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
This was the second NPC he had encountered whose information he could not fully see.
The previous one was Huai Jian.
But why would the esteemed City Lord suddenly appear before him?
The Divine Dragon Empire has one Imperial Capital, ten first-tier main cities, eighty-one second-tier main cities, and one thousand and eighty third-tier cities.
Except for the Imperial Capital, all China players are distributed in these cities.
And East Sea City is one of the ten first-tier main cities.
As the City Lord of East Sea City, Situ Ji's status is self-evident.
Su Mubai was completely unfamiliar with the second identity.
There was no record of what kind of existence the Divine Dragon Hall was in the information provided by the Ten Thousand Realms Game.
But he was certain that Situ Ji was terrifyingly strong!
From the words just spoken, it was clear that the other party had come specifically to find him.
Was it the heart-pounding power that attracted him when he opened the Death Scripture?
A series of thoughts flashed through Su Mubai's mind as he secretly guessed the reason for the other party's arrival.
Situ Ji did not speak again, merely sizing up Su Mubai, his face devoid of expression, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
After a long while, his gaze fell on the back of Su Mubai's left hand, looking at the inscription formed by the Death Scripture, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Indeed, it is the power of Death."
At the same time, Su Mubai felt the pressure all over his body disappear, and he instantly felt relaxed.
The Situ Ji before him also seemed to become an Ordinary old man, no longer having that unfathomable feeling.
"City Lord, what is the power of Death?"
Su Mubai immediately followed up with a question based on the other party's words.
"A power of law. You are still too weak now; even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to understand."
Situ Ji smiled and shook his head, the staff in his hand turning into specks of golden light and dissipating.
However, Su Mubai's heart trembled upon hearing this.
Law?
He remembered clearly that before the Death Scripture was Promoted, the book of Death was described as such.
But now, the Death Scripture is clearly described as the Book of Rules!
It seems that Situ Ji did not fully see all of his information.
Thinking of this, Su Mubai was no longer so nervous.
Some things brought by the Calamity have obviously exceeded the understanding range of the Forbidden Land.
"Little fellow, your appearance is truly beyond the expectations of us old folks."
"I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky."
Situ Ji looked at Su Mubai meaningfully, sighing slightly.
"Why do you say that?"
Su Mubai frowned slightly.
He had said this when he first appeared, and now he said it again.
"The lucky thing is that you have transferred to a Dominator-level profession. Such a profession should not appear in the Forbidden Land."
Speaking of this, Situ Ji paused, shook his head, and continued, "Unfortunately, it is the Death Overlord. When you take that step, it will be far more difficult than other Dominator professions."
"That step?"
"It's still very far away for you."
Situ Ji waved his hand, his voice gradually lowering, as if talking to himself, "Perhaps there will be a turning point then?"
Then he looked up at the sky, his gaze deep, his eyes seemingly reflecting the stars of the universe.
Su Mubai looked up in confusion, but only saw the setting sun.
"Little fellow, grow up quickly. There is not much time left for you Descenders."
As his voice fell, a white teleportation light lit up, and Situ Ji's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
His trip here was as if he had come specifically to see Su Mubai, doing nothing but saying a few inexplicable words.
No, after Situ Ji left, a rusty medal slowly floated where he had stood before.
"What is this?"
With doubt in his eyes, Su Mubai reached out and grabbed the medal.
The next moment, Situ Ji's voice sounded directly in his ear.
"Little fellow, this is my test. Pass it, and I will give you some information related to the Death Overlord."
【You have obtained the quest item "Forgotten One's Medal".】
【You have accepted the Epic-level quest "Situ Ji's Test".】
【Quest Content: Pass through the Land of Forgotten and reach 100% exploration progress.】
【Quest Reward: Unknown.】
【Failure Penalty: None】
"Got an Epic-level quest for free?"
Looking at the rusty medal in his hand, Su Mubai was a little surprised.
He still hadn't figured out what Situ Ji wanted to do.
Should not appear in the Forbidden Land, meaning there are other Dominator professions in the Myriad Realms?
It will be more difficult for the Death Overlord to take that step than other Dominators?
"Hehe, do other Dominators have the Cataclysm?"
Su Mubai raised his eyebrows, a glint flashing in his eyes.
Although he was a Death Overlord, he had the Cataclysm characteristic.
Moreover, the Death Scripture was a tier higher than the Death Overlord's original exclusive equipment, the book of Death.
For the future, Su Mubai had ample confidence.
He was only level 10, and his stats were already so abnormal; he would only get stronger in the future.
Unconsciously, Su Mubai had already left other Blue Star players far behind and started to come into contact with the top experts of the Forbidden Land.
His appearance as a BUG was destined to cause a huge stir in the Forbidden Land.
But Su Mubai had not yet realized all of this.
His current goal was to first improve his strength, and then quickly find that pair of scumbags and get his revenge!
As long as he thought that Liu Ruyan and Zhao Xu were still alive, Su Mubai's thoughts were not smooth.
It's just that he leveled up too quickly, and no one could get out of the Newbie Village in a short time.
If those scumbags didn't have high-level talents, who knows how long it would take.
After thinking for a moment, Su Mubai looked at the medal in his hand.
"This time is just right to complete this quest."
【Forgotten One's Medal】
Quest Item
Teleports you to the Land of Forgotten when used.
(Can only be used once, automatically destroyed after 4 minutes and 52 seconds.)
The description was very simple, and the countdown kept ticking.
"Not giving any preparation time?"
Su Mubai was slightly stunned. He had originally planned to go and socket gems.
Now it seemed there was no time. East Sea City was too big; even by carriage, 4 minutes would not be enough.
With the treasure map as a precedent, Su Mubai did not choose to freebie the Promotion of the Forgotten One's Medal.
Situ Ji's test was to pass through the Land of Forgotten.
Who knows where this thing would teleport him after Promotion?
If the quest failed because of the Promotion, it would not be worth it.
Su Mubai was still very interested in the information about the Death Overlord that Situ Ji mentioned.
Looking at his attribute panel again, Su Mubai's mind moved, and he activated the medal in his hand.
A white teleportation light lit up, carrying his figure away from the East Sea City teleportation square.
The first player to arrive in East Sea City left in a hurry before he could even properly explore this prosperous first-tier main city.

#43Chapter 43 The Forgotten - Rhodes
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
"Death Gaze!"
As Su Mubai's gaze focused, the skill instantly activated.
His aura underwent a dramatic change in that instant, and a terrifying and majestic presence rose.
Though he seemed unchanged, it felt as if some unknown entity had descended.
-49940
The soul fire in the Skeleton's eyes instantly twisted, and then a terrifying gray-white number appeared above its head.
"Killed a Level 20 Skeleton, gained an additional 50% over-level bonus, Experience Points +30."
The Skeleton didn't even withstand the first instance of damage before it collapsed to the ground, utterly dead.
Its body was perfectly intact, without any wounds, but it had become an empty shell.
This pale Skeleton quickly turned into a pile of fragments under the trampling of other Skeletons.
This wasn't over yet; Death Gaze dealt damage once per second and could last for a total of ten seconds.
Although the first target died, the skill did not end.
As Su Mubai's gaze shifted, the soul fires in the eyes of one Skeleton after another instantly twisted, then they collapsed to the ground.
-124850! -49940, -124850!...
The effect of Death Gaze only ended when the tenth Skeleton fell.
"This skill is absolutely amazing!"
Having personally experienced the feeling of casting Death Gaze, Su Mubai felt an exhilarating sensation that struck his very soul.
The moment he activated the skill, he vaguely felt a sense of being able to control everything.
The Life and death of these Skeletons before him were entirely within his control, with just a thought.
Before using it, although he had anticipated the damage, he was still somewhat stunned when he saw the terrifying numbers.
It was even higher damage than the Skeleton Warrior, which had the Calamity characteristic!
His stats quickly flashed through his mind.
With 2497 magic power, Death Gaze, under the enhancement of his class characteristic, dealt ten times damage per second.
Plus, the Death Scripture increased damage to Undead creatures by 100%.
That precisely amounted to the number 49940.
True damage, no need to calculate any resistance or defense, it was just that simple and unadorned.
And his current spell critical hit rate was as high as 35%, with critical hit damage also increased to 250% under the enhancement of dillons crystal ball.
Among the ten targets, 4 of them received critical hit damage exceeding 120,000!
This was only the most basic damage effect of Death Gaze; the skill's most powerful aspects were its other effects.
An SSS skill enhanced by the class Calamity Trait characteristic, its effects were terrifying.
It was a pity these Skeletons were too weak; they died the moment Su Mubai gazed at them, making it impossible to test the remaining skill effects.
With 5% of his mana instantly consumed, Su Mubai, with a thought, directly expended 4 points of death energy to fully restore it.
Immediately afterward, his gaze fell upon the scattered fragments of bones on the ground.
"Extract Death Energy!"
"Tip: You have successfully extracted 4 points of death energy from the corpses of 20 Ordinary Wild Oxes, 'Skeleton.'"
"Tip: Your stored death energy has reached its limit. You can continue to extract after consuming it."
"Undead creatures indeed yield more death energy."
Su Mubai's eyes lit up; he had only consumed 4 points of death energy, so this was not necessarily the maximum amount that could be extracted.
However, even so, it was twice as much as when he had extracted from the Wild Buffalo corpses before.
At this moment, Su Mubai suddenly remembered that he still had 11 unused skill points.
He had intended to save them to see what new skills he would learn at Level 10.
However, upgrading Death Gaze by one level required a whopping 50 skill points, so that was out of the question for the short term.
"Should I upgrade Death Absorption Feedback first?"
Su Mubai thought for a moment, then decided to wait and see.
The Land of Forgotten was full of Undead, and Undead Mage skill books were sure to drop there.
Perhaps a top-tier low-level skill like Summoning Space Expansion could drop here?
With this thought, Su Mubai decided to save his skill points for now.
Anyway, skill upgrades don't improve quality; a single level-up usually only provides about a 10% increase.
There was no need to rush at all.
The Skeleton Legion continued its tireless slaughter, and in just a few minutes, Su Mubai's experience points increased from 0% to 27%.
His leveling speed was like riding a rocket, several times faster than before in Qingqing Grassland.
This was because there was no need to search for or pull monsters here; the Skeleton Legion simply needed to stand in place and perform assembly-line work.
After entering the Land of Forgotten, Su Mubai suddenly felt like he was playing a hack-and-slash game.
After killing so many, the number of Skeletons showed no sign of decreasing; they were still densely packed.
However, the doubts in Su Mubai's mind remained unresolved.
Death Gaze incinerates souls. Being damaged by this skill means these Skeletons have souls.
And those ethereal blue soul fires were not fake.
But why couldn't the Death Scripture extract Soul Points?
Where exactly did the problem lie?
"This is the Land of Forgotten; we were all cursed in Life, and our souls have long been bound here."
Just as Su Mubai was wondering, an ethereal voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Who?"
Su Mubai felt his hair stand on end; he hadn't detected the other party's appearance at all!
"Me? Just one of the Forgotten."
"Let me think..."
"Ah, yes, Rod, that was my name once. You can call me that."
The ethereal voice softly echoed, sounding hazy, as if it was right beside him yet felt very distant.
Su Mubai abruptly turned his head and was shocked to discover that the voice belonged to a soul body.
It still looked human overall, but it was translucent, lacked any substance, and floated in mid-air.
"The Forgotten - Rod"
Special Elite
Soul Body
Level: 20
Health: 100,000/100,000
(Soul bodies are immune to physical damage.)
"Current Exploration Progress: 10%"
The moment Rod's soul appeared, Su Mubai was surprised to find his exploration progress had directly increased to 10%.
The other party was merely a special elite, which was quite incredible.
Previously, after killing so many Skeletons, the exploration progress hadn't budged an inch, but now it had suddenly increased so much. It seemed Rod must be a key figure in the Land of Forgotten.
Thinking of this, Su Mubai spoke, "What is the curse you mentioned? And how can the soul's binding be undone?"
"The curse... yes, the curse! It's a terrible curse!"
"A terrible curse!"
...
This question seemed to trigger a switch.
Rod's expression suddenly twisted, and he clutched his head as if in immense pain, repeating the phrase over and over.
Su Mubai was momentarily dumbfounded.
Come on, buddy, you were fine talking about it yourself, but why did it become like this when I asked?
For a moment, he felt at a loss, only able to silently watch Rod's performance art.
A moment later, Rod returned to normal. His eyes were filled with despair as he shook his head at Su Mubai, saying, "I've forgotten. Let me think hard, think hard..."
With that, the guy became a broken record again.
Su Mubai helplessly patted his forehead, continuing to wait for the next part.
Fortunately, he didn't need to do the monster grinding himself. If it were another player, they would have to defend against the Skeleton tide while protecting this guy, which would surely be a huge headache.
Based on his years of gaming experience, an "NPC" like Rod would definitely be attacked by the Skeleton tide as well.
Although this guy was immune to physical damage, who knew if a Skeleton Mage would appear?
This time, Rod clearly took much longer to think. It wasn't until Su Mubai's experience bar reached 43% that he suddenly reached out and pointed north.
"I remembered something, over there!"
"What's over there?"
Su Mubai looked in the direction he was pointing.
"I forgot."
"Stop! I won't ask anymore."
Su Mubai rolled his eyes and raised his hand to interrupt Rod, fearing he would turn into a broken record again.
Anyway, this was the only clue for now, so he might as well go check it out.
"Move the entire Legion north."
With a thought, he issued the command to the Skeleton Legion.
In an instant, the meat grinder formed by the Skeleton Legion began to move.
The outermost 100 Skeleton Warriors maintained their formation and began to move north.
Although the number of Skeletons was terrifying, their strength was not even a fraction of a Skeleton Warrior's, completely unable to hinder the Legion's movement.
The Skeleton Archers and Skeleton Mages within the encirclement also began to move, with Su Mubai walking unhurriedly in the very center.
After being interrupted, Rod floated quietly beside Su Mubai, clearly intending to accompany him to their destination.

#44Chapter 44 Soul-calming coffin, half-lich!
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Clack, clack, clack…
As the Legion continued to advance, the bone fragments left after the Death of the Skeleton sea gradually covered the ground.
“Killed a Level 20 Skeleton, gained an additional 50% over-level bonus, experience points +30. “leading” activated, gained an additional +6 experience points.”
“Killed a Level 20 Skeleton, gained an additional 50% over-level bonus, experience points +30. “leading” activated, gained an additional +6 experience points.”
…
The rate of experience gain did not decrease at all. With the Skeleton Warrior forming a protective circle on the periphery, the two main damage dealers within the circle were completely unaffected.
Every two steps they advanced, they would stop in unison to launch an attack, then continue forward.
The only thing that annoyed Su Mubai was that these Skeleton didn't drop anything.
These were simply the stingiest monsters he had ever seen.
It was bad enough that the experience was low, but there wasn't even a single copper coin!
Soon, Su Mubai realized that his previous estimation was wrong.
Looking at the experience bar, which was already approaching 80%, and then at the endless Skeleton sea, he couldn't help but sigh.
“It would be great if I had an AOE skill right now.”
Unfortunately, there was no 'if', and he had no AOE skills.
Since entering the game, all his experience points had been earned by the Skeleton Legion cutting down enemies one by one.
“Are we not there yet?”
Unable to hold back, Su Mubai turned his head and asked.
Rod's eyes were lifeless, but he replied, “Almost, almost…”
“…”
I shouldn't have asked!
Su Mubai's eyebrow twitched slightly, and he continued to control the Skeleton Legion forward.
“Congratulations to player “White Night” for reaching Level 11. All four main stats +1, skill points +1, free attribute points +15.”
Even after a golden light flashed and Su Mubai leveled up, the destination Rod mentioned still hadn't been reached.
Su Mubai couldn't help but frown, examining Rod from head to toe.
This guy couldn't have just pointed randomly, could he?
But he could provide 10% exploration progress, so he must be an important figure.
Just then, Rod's eyes suddenly lit up slightly, and he abruptly raised his hand, pointing forward.
“It's right there!”
Su Mubai immediately looked over, only to see a huge coffin standing there.
The coffin seemed to have been placed there for a long time, its exterior already somewhat decayed, and half of the lid was rotted away, faintly revealing a corpse inside.
The most peculiar thing was that no Skeleton approached the vicinity of the coffin.
The continuous Skeleton sea seemed to deliberately avoid that area.
Su Mubai's eyes lit up, and he decisively commanded his Legion to charge forward.
Something abnormal must indicate something strange; there must be a problem there!
Whether it was a clue or a BOSS, anything would do; he would accept it all.
Clack, clack, clack…
As the Skeleton Legion entered the area near the coffin, the surrounding Skeleton sea instantly receded like a tide, quickly disappearing into the dim night, even the faint glow of their soul fires vanished.
“Are they that afraid of this place?”
Su Mubai raised an eyebrow, deliberately controlling a Skeleton Warrior to take a step back, moving away from the coffin's vicinity.
Clack, clack, clack…
The next moment, Skeleton reappeared from a distance, rushing towards this direction.
“I'll play with you later.”
Having found the pattern, Su Mubai grinned and controlled the Skeleton Warrior to return.
Sure enough, the Skeleton sea retreated again.
“Let me see what you are.”
Su Mubai turned to look at the huge coffin in front, controlling a Skeleton Warrior to walk forward.
Before he could get close, more than a dozen chains suddenly appeared from behind the coffin.
The Skeleton Warrior immediately raised his greatsword, preparing to deal with any sudden situation.
But the next moment, those chains directly bound themselves tightly to the coffin.
“Tip: You have discovered a Soul-Binding Coffin. Exploration progress +2%. Destroy the Soul-Binding Coffin to increase it by another 3%.”
“Note: Destroying the Soul-Binding Coffin will release a terrifying presence. Please proceed with caution.”
“This is it! Destroy it! Destroy it!”
As the system prompt sounded, Rod also became excited, pointing at the Soul-Binding Coffin and constantly urging Su Mubai to destroy it.
“If you keep yelling, do you believe I'll just turn around and leave?”
Su Mubai glared at Rod, and the latter actually quieted down.
Only then did he carefully examine the upright coffin before him.
Even without Rod's urging, he would definitely destroy this thing.
After all, his goal was 100% exploration progress.
“Soul-Binding Coffin”
“Shield Value: 1,000,000/1,000,000”
“Physical Defense: 1000”
“Magic Defense: 1000”
This value might take other players half a day to deal with, but in front of Su Mubai, it was insignificant.
However, due to collision volume, even though this coffin was very large for Su Mubai, only 8 Skeleton Warrior could attack it at the same time.
At this point, the importance of ranged firepower became apparent.
“Heavy Blow”!
“Double Shot”!
“Fireball”!
-36708, -35999, -36123…
-6558, -13240!, -6613…
-21352, -20987, -42638!…
The moment 8 greatswords struck the chains, a rain of arrows and Fireball successively landed on the massive coffin.
The number of arrows was clearly more than double that of the Fireball.
In an instant, the Soul-Binding Coffin's 1 million health bar was directly depleted.
Boom!
The entire coffin exploded, revealing the corpse inside.
Clatter, clatter…
To Su Mubai's surprise, the chains were completely unharmed and directly wrapped around the corpse.
This corpse had been here for an unknown period, already reduced to skin and bones.
Its entire face was completely sunken, revealing the clear outline of the skull.
“He's here! He's coming out!”
Rod suddenly screamed like a madman, then floated away into the distance without looking back.
“Run!”
“Run!”
…
His voice still echoed until he disappeared.
Su Mubai released his hands from covering his ears, having no intention of leaving.
What kind of joke was this? Wasn't the BOSS here to give out benefits?
Clatter, clatter…
As the chains tightened, the corpse finally reacted.
He suddenly opened his eyes, but his pupils were empty.
Immediately after, two wisps of soul fire ignited, and the corpse began to move.
The chains that had bound him seemed to become his weapons, quietly floating around his body.
A chill swept through the air, and a layer of Frost gradually covered the ground.
“Outsider, you have disrupted my transformation!”
The corpse opened its mouth, emitting a hoarse voice, its ghostly blue pupils fixed on Su Mubai.
The next moment, the anger on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by a smile.
“Oh, what a rich aura of Death. By absorbing the energy within your body, I will surely complete my transformation.”
“Who gave you that confidence?”
Su Mubai rolled his eyes and gently waved his hand.
The next moment, several Skeleton Warrior directly advanced, and the ranged damage dealers in the back went all out.
“The Forgotten One - Neil”
“Half-Frost Lich”
“Level 20”
“Dark Gold-grade BOSS”
“Health: 3,000,000/3,000,000”
“Magic Power: 12800”
“Physical Defense: 1500”
“Magic Defense: 2100”
“Elemental Resistance: Ice 20%”
“Skills: Frost series spells, Undead Summoning series spells, Shadow Curse series spells.”
(He seems to have wanted to transform himself into a Lich, but apparently only half succeeded.)
Also a Dark Gold-grade BOSS, Neil the half-Lich's oppressive presence was significantly stronger than Reggie's.
Even the skills he mastered were from three major series.
However, it was all useless.
Facing the current Su Mubai, his performance was even worse than Reggie's back then.
Even though his body was smaller than the coffin, the Skeleton Legion couldn't all attack him at the same time.
But the first wave of attacks still directly depleted nearly a million of his health points.
Immediately upon appearing, before he could even finish his grand entrance, a third of his health bar was already gone.
At this moment, Neil was stunned. He then realized in horror that he was surrounded.
His surroundings were filled with the opponent's “people”!
For a moment, he couldn't even tell who was closer to being a Lich.

#45Chapter 45 The Terrifying Effect of the Death Stare
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
"Who exactly are you? Why can you summon so many powerful Undead creatures?!"
Neil's voice was filled with shock and fear, and the chains around him trembled.
He was extremely clear about the power of these chains, but facing the Skeleton Warriors in front of him, they were completely ineffective.
This meant that the power attributes of these Skeleton Warriors were even higher than his spirit!
How was this possible?
He was a Half-Lich; even though he had only transformed halfway, he was definitely not comparable to Ordinary Undead.
Moreover, those in front of him were the lowest-level Skeletons!
Seeing the next wave of attacks about to arrive, Neil suddenly felt a bit dazed.
He raised his hand to release an Ice Shield, enveloping his entire body, then the soul fire in his pupils flickered violently, and he chanted an obscure incantation.
"Come out, my servants."
The next moment, a light gray vortex appeared, and a large number of Undead creatures poured out of it.
Of course, this "large number" was relative to Neil.
In reality, there were only 20 Ghouls and 5 bloated Abominations in total.
【Ghoul】
【Level 20】
【Summoned Creature】
【Health: 150,000/150,000】
【Attack: 1580】
【Physical Defense: 500】
【Magic Defense: 420】
【Skill: Gnaw】
(This Undead creature's mouth always carries a putrid smell.)
【Abomination】
【Level 20】
【Summoned Creature】
【Health: 800,000/800,000】
【Attack: 1960/1960】
【Physical Defense: 800】
【Magic Defense: 700】
【Skills: Iron Hook Strike, Disease Cloud】
(This ugly fellow is stitched together from various corpses.)
The appearance of 25 summoned creatures immediately gave the remaining Skeletons who couldn't attack Neil a target.
The next moment, a rain of arrows and fireballs poured down. As soon as Neil's summoned servants appeared, they were focused fired into sieves.
With Su Mubai's current strength, a mere Level 20 Dark Gold-grade BOSS was not worth mentioning at all.
"You are just a human, how can you..."
Before Neil could finish speaking, Su Mubai's gaze sharpened, instantly interrupting his subsequent words.
【Death Gaze】!
In an instant, the soul fire in Neil's pupils twisted
Even with Only One Drop of Blood, I am Still Invincible in the World! Chapter 46
#46Chapter 46 I have the skills you mentioned!
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Chapter 46 I have that skill you mentioned!
Looking at Rhode, who was inexplicably excited, Su Mubai didn't say much, just gave him a meaningful look.
"Where's the next Soul-Locking Coffin?"
The next moment, Rhode turned into a repeater again.
"Let me think... think..."
Slap!
Su Mubai helplessly patted his forehead, no longer paid attention to Rhode, and directly controlled the Skeleton Legion to walk out of this area.
This guy always had to think for a long time; instead of waiting here for him, it was better to farm monsters and level up first.
Anyway, he had to face the Skeleton Sea regardless.
Although these Ordinary monsters wouldn't drop anything, their sheer number meant the overall experience gain was quite substantial.
Moreover, Su Mubai was also very curious about how many skeletons existed here.
Click, click, click... As expected, as soon as the Skeleton Warrior stepped out of this area, a sound of bones colliding came from not far away.
Immediately after, large patches of ghostly blue soul fire appeared, and the vanished Skeleton Sea swept in again.
Still using the previous strategy, Su Mubai's Skeleton Legion once again formed a circle, and the tireless killing machines reappeared.
【Killed a Level 20 Skeleton, gained an additional 50% level-skip bonus, experience +30 points, "leading" took effect, gained an additional +6 experience points.】
【Killed a Level 20 Skeleton, gained an additional 50% level-skip bonus, experience +30 points, "leading" took effect, gained an additional +6 experience points.】
...A moment later, Rhode silently floated beside Su Mubai, pointed in a direction, and suddenly said:
"I remember now, it's over there!"
Su Mubai nodded, and with a thought, the Skeleton Legion immediately began to advance.
Looking at the Skeleton Sea, whose numbers showed no sign of decreasing, Su Mubai sighed as he walked, "Oh, if only I had an AOE skill."
"What AOE skill?"
Rhode suddenly poked his head out from beside him, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Su Mubai was slightly stunned; this guy actually took the initiative to ask a question?
He had always thought Rhode was an idiot.
Oh, it should be said that he had a soul defect.
Having nothing else to do, Su Mubai decided to explain it to Rhode: "An AOE skill is a skill that can affect multiple targets simultaneously."
After speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head. Why was he telling him this?
However, Rhode's next words gave him a surprise.
"I think I know where there's a skill book like that!"
"Where?!"
Su Mubai abruptly stopped, turned to look at Rhode, his face filled with joy.
What he lacked most right now was an AOE skill!
"Uh..."
Rhode's eyes became vacant again, and he murmured, "Where is it?"
This time, Su Mubai was very patient, quietly waiting for the other party to think.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that Rhode's words almost made him lose his composure.
"That's right! I know that skill you mentioned!"
...No, buddy?
You know something yourself, and you need to think for so long?
Su Mubai's brow twitched slightly; he suspected this guy was deliberately toying with him, but he couldn't find any evidence.
Suppressing the urge to Death Gaze Rhode, Su Mubai forced a smile, "Can you teach me?"
"Of course!"
Rhode immediately agreed.
Su Mubai was instantly delighted. It seemed he had misunderstood this guy; he might just be genuinely a bit silly.
"Then hurry up and teach me, so we can kill... oh no, save others faster."
Facing Su Mubai's expectant face, Rhode nodded solemnly, then slowly raised his hand.
He was finally going to have an AOE skill.
Su Mubai's eyes lit up, secretly pleased.
But a moment later, he didn't hear the system prompt he had imagined.
Rhode's hand stopped in mid-air, and he tilted his head, looking at Su Mubai with a puzzled expression, asking seriously, "How do I teach it?"
Death Gaze!
Su Mubai was half-dead with anger, turning to look at the Skeleton Sea outside the encirclement, venting his frustration on these small monsters.
-50740, -126850, -50740... I can't kill this guy, his exploration value is still needed... This sentence kept repeating in his mind, and Su Mubai finally managed to suppress the urge to attack Rhode.
"Think for yourself!"
However, he no longer held out hope for an AOE skill, leaving a remark and controlling the Skeleton Legion to continue towards the next coordinate.
However, many things, when you no longer deliberately pursue them, just come naturally.
More than ten minutes later, Rhode suddenly floated in front of Su Mubai, blocking his way, and excitedly said:
"I know how to teach you now."
The next moment, his right hand glowed with a grayish-white luminescence, and he extended a finger to point at Su Mubai's glabella.
Su Mubai was not at all afraid that the other party had bad intentions, and just let Rhode continue without dodging.
A Life Sharing health bar exceeding a hundred million was no joke!
It was ultimately proven that Rhode had no other intentions.
His finger didn't even break the imperceptible shield on Su Mubai's body.
This was the passive skill Undead Guardian, which came with the Mournful Whisperer Robe; on Su Mubai, the shield value was a pitiful 3 points.
The next moment, the long-awaited system prompt finally sounded in Su Mubai's ears.
【You have learned a new skill, "Corpse Explosion."】
【Corpse Explosion】: (C) Level 1, Active Skill, detonates the target's corpse or remains, dealing magic damage to all enemies within a 5-meter radius. (Cannot be used on BOSS corpses.)
Damage: 10% of target's Life before death + 100% spell power.
Casting range 30 meters, instant cast, cooldown 30 seconds, consumes 300 mana points.
The damage of this skill was not strong, its only advantage was instant cast.
However, for Su Mubai, this was already the only AOE skill he could learn right now.
Besides, couldn't he still get it for free?
Su Mubai's lips curled into a slight smile, and with a thought.
【Calamity】!
【Target: Corpse Explosion】
【Prompt: Please choose Promotion tier, Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3.】 (Click to view details)
Option 1: Promote to B-rank skill 【Advanced Corpse Explosion】, no cost.
Option 2: Elevate to A-rank skill 【Chain Corpse Explosion】, costs 10,000 gold coins.
Option 3: Calamity to S-rank skill 【Corpse Destruction】, costs 1000 years of Life.
"Promote to Tier 1."
Spending money was impossible; Su Mubai didn't have that much money, so he could only get it for free.
【Your C-rank skill "Corpse Explosion" has successfully been Promoted to B-rank skill "Advanced Corpse Explosion."】
【Advanced Corpse Explosion】: (B) Level 1, Active Skill, detonates the target's corpse or remains, dealing magic damage to all enemies within a 10-meter radius. (Cannot be used on BOSS corpses.)
Damage: 15% of target's Life before death + 150% spell power.
Casting range 50 meters, instant cast, cooldown 30 seconds, consumes 600 mana points.
Although the damage increase of 【Advanced Corpse Explosion】 was not significant, the explosion range had greatly improved.
From a radius of 5 meters to a radius of 10 meters, the explosion range increased by a full 4 times!
Su Mubai directly allocated the skill points he had specifically saved to 【Advanced Corpse Explosion】, maxing it out.
Immediately after, the staff of withered wood in his hand shimmered.
At the same time, a muffled explosion suddenly sounded within the Skeleton Sea!
Boom!
#47Chapter 47 Level Up, Cursed Crown Reunited!
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
Chapter 47 Level Soars, Cursed Crown Reunited!
Skeleton Warriors stood in the outermost circle, continuously slaying the endless tide of skeletons.
The next moment, a newly fallen skeleton not far ahead suddenly glowed with a faint gray light, then exploded with a roar.
Boom!
Thump thump thump... The shattered bone fragments were like bullets, instantly sweeping a huge area of 30 meters.
-18062, -17998, -36984!... A dense screen of damage numbers appeared, and the front end of the skeleton tide was instantly cleared, with shattered bones scattered everywhere.
【Killed a Level 20 Skeleton, gained an additional 50% level-skip bonus, Experience +30 points, "leading" activated, gained an additional Experience +6 points.】
【Killed a Level 20 Skeleton, gained an additional 50% level-skip bonus, Experience +30 points, "leading" activated, gained an additional Experience +6 points.】
...With just one skill, Su Mubai was shocked to find his experience bar rapidly soar by nearly 4%!
That is to say, that single Advanced Corpse Explosion just now instantly killed over two thousand skeletons!
Even though Su Mubai knew he was monstrously powerful, he was still startled by this effect.
He had just spent 10 skill points to max out Advanced Corpse Explosion.
After upgrading this skill, neither the damage bonus nor the cooldown time changed; the only improvement was the skill's range.
For each level, the explosion radius increased by 0.5 meters, and the casting distance increased by 2.5 meters.
At max level, Advanced Corpse Explosion had an explosion radius of 15 meters and a casting distance of 75 meters.
Combined with the buff from the Calamity Trait, this resulted in a massive affected area of 30 meters!
Even without considering the damage increase from the Death Scripture, it was enough to instantly kill these skeletons.
"White Night, you're so strong."
Rhode's praise brought Su Mubai back to his senses. He smiled, said nothing, and continued to control the Skeleton Legion forward.
Every half minute, a dull thud would sound from ahead, and Su Mubai's experience gain speed increased several times over what it was before.
He even felt like staying here to continuously grind monsters, as it would be difficult to find such a densely packed area of small monsters after leaving.
However, Su Mubai thought about it and decided to explore the Land of Forgotten first.
Leveling up was never an issue for him.
With Advanced Corpse Explosion, the Skeleton Legion's advance speed increased significantly.
Before Su Mubai leveled up, he had already arrived at the location of the second Soul-Locking Coffin.
The BOSS in this Soul-Locking Coffin, aside from its name, was practically carved from the same mold as Neil, also a Half-Lich.
Su Mubai was too lazy to waste time. Before the opponent could utter any grand declarations, he directly glared at him.
【Prompt: You used "Death Gaze" on the Forgotten One—Carlos. Your Life Level is judged to be higher than his.】
-1,200,000!
"What is this... Ah!"
A terrifying gray-white number popped up. Carlos instantly clutched his head and scurried away, trembling all over, letting out painful roars.
His all-attributes were forcibly reduced by 40%, and his maximum HP immediately dropped to only 1.8 million.
The Skeleton Legion went all out. Before Death Gaze even ended, this Half-Lich was completely reduced to a corpse.
【Killed a Level 20 Dark Gold-grade BOSS "Forgotten One—Carlos", gained an additional 50% experience bonus, Experience +750,000 points, "leading" activated, gained an additional Experience +150,000 points.】
【Congratulations, player "White Night" has leveled up to Level 12, Four Dimensions +1, Skill Points +1, Free Attribute Points +15.】
A golden light flashed, and Su Mubai leveled up again.
Reaching out to take the crown of curses Fragment brought by the Skeleton Warrior, Su Mubai glanced at his experience bar.
Level 12, 21.67%.
To his surprise, the experience required to reach Level 13 did not double; instead, it remained the same as before, only increasing by one million.
"It should be an increase of one million until Level 19."
The reason Su Mubai speculated this was because levels that are multiples of ten are usually a threshold.
The aerial Skeleton Legion once again drew out the skeleton tide. Su Mubai turned to look at Rhode, who had returned.
Yes, this guy had run off shouting again when the Soul-Locking Coffin exploded.
"Where's the next one?"
"Let me think..."
...The Land of Forgotten was always dim, but fortunately, there was system time to use as a reference.
The skeleton tide here was not as endless as imagined. Not long after killing the fourth BOSS, the skeleton tide was completely annihilated by Su Mubai.
At this moment, the Land of Forgotten was covered with shattered bones, and every step Su Mubai took made a crunching sound.
However, Su Mubai did not notice that these bone fragments were slowly sinking into the ground at an extremely slow speed.
The Land of Forgotten was always in a state of perpetual gloom, with no sun visible, making it easy to overlook the passage of time.
【Killed a Level 20 Dark Gold-grade BOSS "Forgotten One—Walter", gained an additional 50% experience bonus, Experience +750,000 points, "leading" activated, gained an additional Experience +150,000 points.】
When Su Mubai took the seventh crown of curses Fragment from the Skeleton Warrior.
He glanced at the system time and was startled to realize that he had been here for over ten hours!
And his level had also risen from Level 10 when he first entered to his current Level 15!
From entering the game until now, he hadn't rested for a single moment.
But Su Mubai didn't feel tired at all.
Mainly because he didn't exert much effort, especially after the skeleton tide was wiped out, he didn't even need to use Advanced Corpse Explosion.
He just needed to stroll behind the Skeleton Legion.
"Phew~ This map of the Land of Forgotten is really big."
Picking up the last fragment, Su Mubai couldn't help but sigh.
It was no wonder Situ Ji gave him a week to explore here; without the existence of the Calamity Trait, he wouldn't even be able to fully deal with the skeleton tide right now.
"For such a difficult map to clear, the attributes of this item shouldn't be too bad."
Looking at the fragments in his hand, a gleam flashed in Su Mubai's eyes as he took out the other six from his backpack.
At this moment, Rhode also floated back from not far away.
Upon seeing Su Mubai's actions, his pupils suddenly constricted, as if remembering something terrifying. He suddenly clutched his head, and his entire soul form began to twist.
A moment later, Rhode returned to normal, shouting at Su Mubai with a horrified expression:
"No, you'll be corrupted by him!"
However, his words were still a step too late; the seven fragments had already reassembled in Su Mubai's hand.
Buzz~
A three-colored light flashed, and the crown of curses, emanating a Death aura, appeared in Su Mubai's hand.
"It's over!"
The terror on Rhode's face grew even more intense.
The system prompt also sounded at this moment.
Problematic ad?
#48Chapter 48 The Forgotten One——Franklin!
AI Model: gemini-2.5-flash
You have obtained the Legendary-grade item "Crown of Curse".
Yes, it is Legendary-grade, not Epic-level.
Because Su Mubai had all the fragments promoted for free once.
Although the possibility of nesting is not high, it's worth a try, isn't it?
Of course, he only did it for free after confirming that the name hadn't changed after the Promotion.
Tip: The crown of curses has been successfully repaired. Current exploration progress is 50%.
Su Mubai didn't check the attributes of the Crown of Curse immediately, but instead looked thoughtfully at Rod.
Of this 50% exploration progress, 35% came from the seven Soul-Locking Coffins, and 5% came from the crown of curses.
Neither the overwhelming sea of Skeletons nor the seven BOSSes provided a single bit of exploration progress.
However, when Rod appeared, it increased by a full 10%!
Based on his previous performance, this guy was at most just a guide, and it was impossible for him to provide so much exploration progress.
Unless his importance goes beyond that!
Thinking of this, Su Mubai slightly narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Rod.
The latter's expression was distorted at this moment, his eyes staring intently at the Crown of Curse in Su Mubai's hand, filled with terror.
"No, this is impossible, how could its power have increased so much?"
"I can feel that dense death energy."
"White Night, quickly throw it away, otherwise you will be eroded by death energy and eventually become a walking corpse, just like them."
Hearing this, Su Mubai had no intention of throwing away the Crown of Curse, nor did he answer, simply watching the other party perform.
He wanted to see what was so special about Rod.
If his guess was correct, this guy was very likely the final BOSS.
Isn't this how plots usually develop?
As for the death energy erosion, Su Mubai had never cared about it.
The moment the Crown of Curse was repaired, two system prompts sounded consecutively in his ear.
Tip: You have been eroded by death energy from the "crown of curses".
Tip: Your stored death energy value has reached the limit. You can continue to absorb after consuming it. Excess death energy will not have any effect on you.
death energy erosion?
It's just a supplement for my own skills!
With this thing, maybe he won't need to absorb death energy from the corpses of small monsters anymore.
"White Night, what are you still waiting for?! Throw it away quickly!"
Hearing this, Su Mubai raised an eyebrow: "Why aren't you pretending to be foolish now?"
"Pretending to be foolish?"
Rod was clearly startled, and quickly said: "I've never pretended to be foolish, some things are really..."
Rumble...
Before Rod could finish speaking, the entire Land of Forgotten suddenly began to tremble violently.
"Hmm?"
Su Mubai's expression turned serious, and the Skeleton Legion immediately assembled.
Rod seemed to be provoked by this scene, and his pupils became somewhat cloudy.
The next moment, a large section of the ground not far ahead suddenly collapsed, and a dense death energy emanated from the opening.
Tip: The aura of the "crown of curses" has awakened the Lich "Franklin" sleeping beneath the Land of Forgotten.
As the system prompt sounded, an exquisite coffin flew out from the opening, standing steadily in mid-air.
This coffin was forged from some unknown metal, and was covered in obscure and difficult-to-understand magical inscriptions, giving off a chilling feeling.
"It's him! It's him!"
Rod, who was already somewhat unclear-headed, instantly widened his pupils upon seeing the coffin.
He tremblingly pointed at the coffin, his body couldn't help but shiver, and without realizing it, he had already retreated to Su Mubai's side.
"He is the one who cursed us! He is the one who turned this place into the Land of Forgotten!"
"I remember now, I remember everything!"
Rod gradually overcame his fear, his facial expression also became distorted, and he roared hoarsely:
"My family, my friends, my people, they all died by his hand!!!"
As he spoke, Rod's soul body gradually lit up with faint rays of light, and his panel also changed at this moment.
Mayor of Sunset Town - Rod's Remnant Soul
Special Elite
Soul Body
Level: 20
