In the game, Zhang Chunlin also asked Lin Chen if he wanted to buy anything.

But Lin Chen refused.

Because currently, Lin Chen already had everything he needed most.

For example, the Vermilion Bird.

And the Dharma God set on his body.

As for the rest, according to Lin Chen's memory, the prices would plummet tomorrow… Because tomorrow, *New World* would release a new announcement, and it was this announcement that completely pronounced the death sentence of the game *New World*!

This caused even those players who were still on the fence to no longer hesitate, selling off equipment and materials, and some even going to the extreme of deleting their accounts… This naturally further impacted the market.

It could be said that by tomorrow, these things would be truly dirt cheap.

So why didn't Lin Chen simply wait until tomorrow to trade?

The reason was that the things Lin Chen bought today were for his own use.

Lin Chen was not only afraid of not being able to snatch them up, being beaten to it by people like Liu Mengyao who wanted to play until the last day.

There were also crazy guys who didn't lack money in reality, snatching up top-grade equipment everywhere, then going on Kuaiyin to do live streams and melt them all down, in order to attract attention.

Besides that, there was another reason…

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the new expansion pack had already been released.

In addition to opening the level cap, there were also brand-new dungeons.

Lin Chen had to improve his strength.

Moreover, in his memory, he also had the walkthrough for this newly released dungeon.

So Lin Chen wanted to bring Liu Mengyao to take the first clear!

The rewards for the first clear of this dungeon were very generous.

And if they wanted to get the first clear of the new dungeon, their equipment and pets naturally had to be upgraded.

Now, Lin Chen equipped the space ring.

Then he put all the strengthening stones from the warehouse into it.

Since it still wasn't full, he simply gave it to Liu Mengyao.

The two of them transferred to a city, arriving in the Immortal Clan camp in the game, and found the NPC in charge of forging, Saber-Sword Smile.

"I want to strengthen equipment!"

Lin Chen selected the option.

NPC Saber-Sword Smile responded, "Adventurer, strengthening equipment to a certain level carries the risk of failure. If you fail after strengthening to +15 or higher, there is also the risk of damage and destruction. Are you prepared for that?"

"I am!"

Lin Chen smiled and directly increased the materials, then began to strengthen.

Soon, there were bursts of light here.

That was Lin Chen constantly trying to strengthen.

It had to be said that the probability of strengthening was truly touching.

"I'll strengthen too, maybe we can pad each other's failures." Seeing that Lin Chen's equipment had failed ten consecutive attempts at 11, Liu Mengyao took the initiative to speak.

She also had a set of top-tier equipment at the moment.

Lin Chen said, "Let's strengthen together, but stop when it reaches 15. By then, we'll have enough strength. Then we'll go to the wild to grind maps, and come back to strengthen when we get materials. We'll try the new dungeon after strengthening to the max level."

"Okay!" Liu Mengyao nodded.

Then the two of them kept strengthening. During this process, Lin Chen also paid attention to whether anyone was coming, mainly worried about those gold diggers, but they didn't follow.

Finally, after the strengthening stones in both of their backpacks were used up, the two of them had all their equipment at +15, and even some stat attributes had appeared, but it wasn't the strongest form yet.

It would only be the strongest form when the equipment all reached +18, and the stat attributes would also be enhanced at that time.

At this time, Lin Chen opened his attribute panel.

[Lin Zhong Chenxi]

[Class: Mage (Wind)]

[Level: 100]

[Experience: 300 million / 300 million]

[Health: 12600]

[Mana: 115800]

[Magic Attack: 57900]

[Physical Attack: 1440]

[Movement Speed: 20 yards/second]

[Constitution: 1260]

[Spirit: 11580]

[Strength: 980]

[Agility: 2000]

These attributes could completely enter the first echelon in the *New World* online game.

In the past, Lin Chen wouldn't even dare to think about it.

First of all, the magic attack reached a terrifying almost sixty thousand!

Lin Chen's class was Wind Mage.

The magic attack calculation formula was directly linked to Spirit.

The growth coefficient of Wind Mage was a fixed 5 times.

In class balance, the highest magic attack growth was Fire Mage, with a coefficient of 6 times.

Currently, the highest magic attack mage Lin Chen knew was a Fire Mage, who seemed to be a female player. Her magic attack was said to have reached a terrifying ninety-eight thousand, just a little short of breaking one hundred thousand.

Lin Chen was a Wind Mage, so it was a bit difficult to surpass a Fire Mage's magic attack.

However, the number one Wind Mage, currently on the leaderboard, just happened to be standing above Lin Chen.

But the other party's magic attack was only three thousand points higher than Lin Chen!

Once Lin Chen strengthens all his equipment to +18, he will definitely be able to steadily surpass him.

In addition, Lin Chen still had many things he hadn't done.

For example, bloodline!

And Lin Chen hadn't taken care of the cape and belt either.

Because these two pieces of equipment were not in the set.

They were all handmade.

If Lin Chen wanted to make them, he would have to prepare more materials, and he would have to make a lot of them, stacking the quantity and relying on luck to see if he could get top-quality ones, so Lin Chen simply put it off until tomorrow.

However, when he had crafted the two handmade pieces and strengthened all his equipment to +18, Lin Chen estimated that his magic attack would reach a terrifying ninety thousand or so.

What kind of concept was that?

That was definitely enough to kill many level 70 or 80 players with just one skill!

After strengthening his equipment, Lin Chen said to Liu Mengyao, "Do you think we should go grind maps first, or try the Heavenly Gate first?"

"Let's go grind maps first, the Heavenly Gate isn't in a hurry. It's still a bit difficult for just the two of us to pass the Guardian Angel's dream dungeon, right?" Liu Mengyao wasn't in a hurry. She smiled at Lin Chen and said, "Anyway, prices are cheaper now, we can go when we're stronger."

"Okay, then let's grind maps first!"

Lin Chen nodded.

This was one of the reasons why he was satisfied with Liu Mengyao. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also especially understanding. Moreover, she knew Lin Chen's personality very well. Once Lin Chen wanted to do something, he would definitely strive for perfection and devote himself wholeheartedly to it.

In the game *New World*, grinding treasure maps could be said to be everyone's path to getting rich.

Because there would be various treasure chests in the treasure maps.

It could be said that the vast majority of materials in the entire game were ground out from treasure maps.

So the treasure maps dropped things very comprehensively.

It was even possible to open up items like Eternal Crystals!

[Eternal Crystal: A divine stone that will never rot. After using it on equipment, the equipment will never be damaged!]

What did that mean?

That meant no matter how much you strengthen it, no matter how many times you fail, this equipment would never be damaged in the future.

In addition, it was even possible to drop super rare things like class change certificates in the treasure maps. Of course, Lin Chen didn't need them, and Liu Mengyao probably didn't need them either, but Lin Chen had his eyes on another thing…

The hidden class, said to have only a one in a hundred million chance of appearing!

Lin Chen still wanted to drop one very much.

After all, hidden classes were all very powerful existences.

It was just that the probability was too low.

But Lin Chen clearly remembered that the first clear reward for the new dungeon seemed to guarantee two hidden classes!
