For Lin Chen, getting an eight-star handmade equipment piece was undoubtedly bad news.

Very bad news!

What was most urgent now?

Making money!

Then, investing all the money into the game to improve his strength.

Not only for himself, but for every trustworthy person around him, Lin Chen wanted everyone to become stronger.

After all, he had witnessed how terrifying the game's invasion of reality could be!

Level 120 bosses were everywhere.

There were even level 150 bosses.

But so far, *New World Online* had only opened up to level 120.

Even if Lin Chen tried his best to level up these past ten days, he could only reach that level at most.

He wasn't confident that he could fight against those unknown beings alone!

Of course, Lin Chen wasn't a saint. Even if he wanted to be, no one would believe him if he told them he had been reborn. So, Lin Chen could only bring along whoever he could.

Besides Liu Mengyao, Lin Chen was supportive of Zhang Chunlin, Bai Shuyi, and even Guild Leader Xuemo, whom he had never met, retaining their accounts and getting good equipment.

As for Lin Chen himself and Liu Mengyao, Lin Chen's requirement was two top-tier accounts!

So, eight-star handmade equipment wasn't enough!

But time waits for no one.

Lin Chen knew that he had to go to Nantianmen (South Heaven Gate).

He and Liu Mengyao hadn't cleared the Nantianmen dungeon yet.

If they cleared it for the first time with a rating of at least S, they would get at least ten times the experience, which would probably allow them to level up at least once. Moreover, Nantianmen was a must-do three times a day for dungeons that could provide experience at level 100.

Time was tight.

Lin Chen chose two seven-star handmade pieces that suited him and gave the Blessing of the Moon God handmade piece to Liu Mengyao.

Now Lin Chen's attributes were even stronger.

Although handmade equipment, according to Lin Chen's standards, was still trash at seven stars, it used to be top-tier.

In addition, Lin Chen had now enhanced all four pieces of the Archmage Set to +18!

[Archmage's Hurricane Holy Amulet +18]

[Level: 100]

[Attributes: Spirit +750 (1350)]

[Trait: Heart of the Archmage, Effect: Increases mana cap by 20%, restores 2% mana per second]

[Special Skill: Enhances Wind Blade skill, Frost effect added to Wind Blade after reaching max level, reducing target's movement speed by 50% and reducing target's magic defense by 15%.]

...

[Enhancement Attribute: Divine Speed! Increases movement speed by 10% (Perfect)]

...

[Archmage's Hurricane Armor +18]

[Level: 100]

[Attributes: Spirit +500 (900) Constitution +250 (450)]

[Trait: Divine Protection, Effect: When suffering fatal damage, the armor will explode with energy to withstand this attack, and then immediately refresh the cooldown time of all skills and items. After triggering, durability is zero, and the armor is broken.]

[Level: 100]

[Attributes: Spirit +1000 (1800)]

[Trait: Divine Protection, Effect: When suffering fatal damage, the armor will explode with energy to withstand this attack, and then immediately refresh the cooldown time of all skills and items. After triggering, durability is zero, and the armor is broken.]

[Special Skill: Archmage Shield, Effect: Gain a shield with 30% of health after activation. Cooldown time: five minutes!]

[Set Attribute: All class skills increase by 1 level!]

[Enhancement Attribute: Hunter! After a spell hits an opponent, gain a magic mark, reducing the target's movement speed by 10% and increasing all damage taken by 10% (Perfect)]

After gathering all four pieces of the Archmage Set, a set attribute would appear on one piece of equipment, producing a corresponding effect. However, you could only choose one piece of equipment, and Lin Chen would definitely choose to activate the set attribute on the weapon, which was the staff.

The set attribute was that all skills increased by one level!

Don't underestimate this attribute, it's actually very powerful. Take Lin Chen's Wind Blade skill as an example. It has currently reached the maximum level of ten, the damage coefficient is 1.75, and it's instant cast.

And now, Lin Chen's Wind Blade skill damage coefficient has reached two times!

It's equivalent to Lin Chen increasing his skill damage by one-eighth.

Now Lin Chen's attributes are very powerful.

[Lin Zhong Chen Xi (Dawn in the Forest)]

[Class: Mage (Wind)]

[Level: 100]

[Experience: 300 million/300 million]

[Health: 17000]

[Mana: 140000]

[Magic Attack: 70000]

[Physical Attack: 1800]

[Movement Speed: 26.4 yards/second]

[Constitution: 1700]

[Spirit: 14000]

[Strength: 1200]

[Agility: 2400]

Seventy thousand magic attack!

In the wind mage class, he was definitely number one.

He had output.

Moreover, his flexibility was maxed out, and his pure running speed entered the four-second range for 100 meters.

Fast speed, fast running, and strong survivability.

In addition, with the output of the Mythical Vermillion Bird, Lin Chen believed that now, with Liu Mengyao, he was enough to challenge the Nantianmen dungeon!

No sooner said than done.

Lin Chen grouped up with Liu Mengyao and teleported directly to the entrance of the Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) map.

The Nantianmen dungeon was right here.

Located above the sky.

Only by passing the Nantianmen dungeon could you get the Tiangong pass.

*New World* seemed to be a game that fused Eastern fantasy with Western fantasy. For example, the plot of the Nantianmen dungeon was the story of a giant ape clan leader leading his entire clan to attack Nantianmen.

It seemed to have a bit of the shadow of *Journey to the West* in it, but the content was completely different.

The content of the story looked like it was brand new, and the giant apes weren't actually monkeys.

Lin Chen didn't pay too much attention to the story of the dungeon. He already knew the strategy by heart. Before entering the dungeon, Lin Chen opened the first clear leaderboard, which showed the time records for the first clear of the dungeon.

Among them were team clears and two-person clears.

Then there was a total clearance speed ranking.

The team ranked first had six people and took fifty-two minutes.

This record had not been broken so far. Although many teams could now clear it in less than half an hour, they were not the first to clear it, so their results could not be on the leaderboard.

But Lin Chen planned to surpass them today!

And he had to surpass them!

Because the reward for first place on the leaderboard was a hundred times the experience.

In addition, there was a Supreme Gift Box for each person.

This Supreme Gift Box was guaranteed to contain top-tier equipment greater than or equal to the current level!

You could even choose pet equipment!
