Chapter 77: Chapter 77: This Girl Has Substance_1
Outside the Secret Realm.
Ruo Li looked at Black Phoenix as she came out and asked excitedly, "Black Phoenix, did you get the Inscriptions?"
Black Phoenix shook her head. "No."
"Could it be that it’s not an Inscription Secret Realm?"
"No, there’s a powerful Golden Dragon inside that can kill anyone in an instant. No one is a match for it. It’s impossible for anyone to defeat the Golden Dragon alone."
Black Dragon exclaimed, "A Golden Dragon? If it could be slain, it’s very likely that equipment above legendary level would drop."
"It’s impossible for anyone to slay it, unless they are of a Second-stage Class or above."
"But this Secret Realm only allows those below First-stage to enter; Second-stage individuals couldn’t even get in."
"Then no one can slay the Golden Dragon."
Ruo Li looked towards the exit. "What about our junior brother then?"
"He’s still in there. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been able to return. But he’ll come out soon. He’s very fast, even faster than an assassin."
Black Dragon said, "Let’s go! The Alliance battle is approaching. Let’s go back and prepare."
"I will reserve a spot for Jiang Chen in the Alliance battle."
"Okay."
"He might join the Black Dragon Legion, but he will leave the Legion after the Alliance battle."
"No problem."
Black Dragon led the others away. Black Phoenix turned her head for one last look before following them.
Emerson and the others also left. The Secret Realm was unconquerable for them, so they departed in disillusionment.
Before long, Jiang Chen too appeared outside.
After coming out of the Secret Realm and hearing an angry roar, Jiang Chen smiled. Luckily, the Golden Dragon was trapped in the Secret Realm and couldn’t escape.
He continued leveling up, aiming to reach Level 30.
After equipping the King’s Crown Armor, it would be time to battle the Golden Dragon fiercely.
[Level: 30]
[Class: Swordsman wearable]
[Physical Attack Power: 50-90]
[Magic Attack Power: 50-90]
[Strength +15]
[Spirit +21]
[Constitution +20]
[Agility +18]
[Durability: 50/50]
[Skill 1: When attacking, there’s a 1% chance to trigger the Paralysis Attribute. The higher the level, the lower the chance of triggering paralysis... The paralysis duration lasts for 1 second.]
It’s a pity that it requires Level 30 to wear...
This time, his efforts weren’t fruitless; he had acquired a Golden Dragon Egg. Jiang Chen looked at that Golden Dragon Egg.
[Dragon Egg]
[Hatching conditions not met]
How can I hatch this?
Apart from Dragon Knights and Summoners, other classes could also have pets. After signing a pet contract, they could possess a pet, which could help enhance their combat power.
A Golden Dragon would undoubtedly be the best pet.
However, how to hatch it had become a problem.
Jiang Chen considered this. He decided to put it into his Space for now and ask the Headmaster at Shenlong Academy later. The Headmaster might know how, even if Jiang Chen didn’t.
His plan was to reach Level 30, equip the King’s Crown Suit, face the upcoming Alliance battle, and then figure out how to hatch the Dragon Egg.
The gains this time, apart from the Dragon Egg, included eight Resurrection Scrolls—such valuable items, capable of saving lives. If these were to be auctioned online, each could be worth billions.
Yet, they were priceless.
「In the tavern.」
"That Secret Realm is too terrifying! A Golden Dragon breathed out its Dragon Breath and instantly killed dozens of people."
"Nonsense. Even students from Holy City’s College can’t defeat the Golden Dragon, let alone us. The Secret Realm will exist indefinitely. It will only disappear if the Golden Dragon dies."
"Who could defeat the Golden Dragon? That thing can fly!"
"Who cares, we can’t do it anyway."
"I heard that during this Secret Realm trip, several SS-grade Classes from Holy City’s College perished."
"The Golden Dragon is too frightening. Assassins also tried to sneak in, but they ended up dying just the same. That Golden Dragon kills on sight, as if it has gone mad."
"That’s the Golden Dragon’s territory. Could there be Dragon Eggs?"
"Forget it. Many people went in and didn’t find any so-called Dragon Eggs."
Jiang Chen listened to these discussions. The Dragon Egg was stolen long ago; there’s nothing left for them.
「The next day.」
He continued to level up.
He kept grinding at the King’s Crown Altar.
After many days, other than the equipment that dropped on the first day, it was all materials, materials, and more materials. Jiang Chen began to suspect that his Luck Value was zero.
Could it be a problem with my character? Why can’t I get any equipment to drop!
"Handsome guy, do you need a team?"
Jiang Chen turned his head and saw two men and two women standing beside him: a Knight, a warrior, a Priest, and a Magician. The two males were Melee Class, and the two females were Support and Long-ranged Class.
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Why are you looking for me?"
"Seeing you come alone, you must be a strong Class. We’re short one ranged Damage Dealer. If you’re willing, let’s team up. We can go inside, split the experience, and share any equipment we get. You are a ranged Damage Dealer Class, right?"
Jiang Chen nodded in silent confirmation.
A Swordsman should count as ranged, right? Could it really be a problem with my character that’s preventing equipment from dropping?
"My name is Tao Ruisi, and I’m an Ice Mage. This is Angelina, a Light Series Ritualist. This one is Beatte, a Dragon Blood Warrior, and this is Marvin, a Paladin. We’re preparing to enter the easy-level copy."
Easy-level? This copy’s difficulty really is simple. Jiang Chen was just about to refuse.
Tao Ruisi continued, "Angelina has received the Divine Light Blessing, and it’s very likely we’ll get equipment to drop if we’re with her."
Jiang Chen looked at Angelina, who was behind Tao Ruisi. Angelina smiled at him.
Divine Light Blessing? What’s that? I’ve never heard of it. Could it be related to Luck Value? It might be worth trying to team up. What if equipment really does drop...
Jiang Chen asked, "How will we divide the equipment if it drops?"
Tao Ruisi replied, "It will be divided equally, of course."
"That’s fair."
"Okay. What Level are you?"
"Level 25."
"Level 25? We’re Level 30, so that’s just a 5-level difference. The five of us should have no problem clearing the dangerous-level copy."
"Okay."
[Tao Ruisi has invited you to join the team]
Jiang Chen agreed to join the team.
Tao Ruisi said, "Is everyone ready? We’re going to enter the easy-level copy. Let’s stay alert. The King’s Crown Copy isn’t that easy to get through."
Let’s try teaming up. Maybe we can get some equipment to drop.
Five beams of white light enveloped the group, and in the blink of an eye, they vanished...
As soon as they entered, Beatte and Marvin entered battle mode, as did Tao Ruisi. Angelina, holding a Magic Wand, began casting a series of enhancements on everyone.
[Constitution +30, Strength +30, Spirit +30, Agility +5...]
[Physical Attack Power +50, Magic Attack Power +50...]
[Physical Defense Power +56, Magical defense power +50...]
[Abnormal Attribute Resistance +10...]
[Divine Blessing: Increases Luck Value by 30 points...]
Whoa... This boost is pretty awesome! A significant increase in basic attributes, Offensive Power, and defensive power. Having a healer really does make a difference for a warrior. And then there’s the Divine Blessing: a freaking increase of 30 Luck Value points...
Damn, damn, holy crap...
Tao Ruisi’s expression turned serious. "Be careful, we’re in. Stay alert to our surroundings."
Jiang Chen looked at Angelina and asked, "Divine Blessing, is that your Skill?"
Angelina shook her head. "That’s not my Skill. Anyone who teams up with me gets the Divine Blessing and an increase in Luck Value."
Jiang Chen sighed. Why don’t I have that? Is this the difference between people? I have to get this girl... no, I mean, get her on my team...
Jiang Chen then took a moment to look Angelina up and down. She wore pure white clothing, had black curly hair, a white magic hat, and white shoes. So this is a Ritualist, similar to a Support Priest. This girl’s got something...
