My Computer Leads to an Instance Dungeon
Chapter 309 - 219: Killers Shall Die, Robbers Shall Be Punished
Of course, Fang Zhen didn’t actually shout those words; he was just playing along with a meme.
He simply opened the skill menu for his Dungeon Life game, looking for skills he could upgrade.
What he really wanted to do most was upgrade Super-Sense Precognition by another level.
Super-Sense Precognition was a level 3 skill. If he upgraded it again, it would become his highest-level skill.
In Fang Zhen’s experience, high-level skills were far stronger than low-level ones.
However, when he saw the number of Merit Points required to upgrade Super-Sense Precognition to a level 4 skill, he shook his head slightly.
Upgrading to level 4 unexpectedly required 1,406 Merit Points.
After receiving the first-clear reward for the Elite Realm and accounting for the Merit Points he’d already spent, he only had 1,234 points left, which wasn’t enough to upgrade.
’Too expensive.’
Fang Zhen guessed that level 4 skills were likely a turning point. A skill that surpassed this level would probably undergo a qualitative change.
But that upgrade was out of the question for now.
After some thought, he upgraded the Gang Zan Seal to level 3.
Upgrading the Gang Zan Seal to level 3 required 386 Merit Points.
The upgraded Gang Zan Seal changed from ’Gang Zan Sustained Chant’ to ’Gang Zan Adaptive Form’.
Gang Zan Seal Lv. 3: Gang Zan Adaptive Form (Builds upon the sustained casting to further increase the Seal’s strength while also further reducing its cost. The Gang Zan Seal is no longer confined to a fixed area; it can be flexibly expanded, contracted, or even applied locally at will.)
After upgrading the Gang Zan Seal, Fang Zhen felt that he was in the best condition he had ever been.
His confidence also reached an unprecedented level.
Fang Zhen activated the external Light Gate, put on his plate gauntlets, and, with the Holy Garment case on his back, stepped into the Light Gate in his living room.
After a brief wave of dizziness, Fang Zhen looked around again and saw that his environment had changed.
The Light Gate was positioned on a hillside, and below, a large expanse of farmland was clearly visible.
The farmland was filled with neat rows of lush, green rice shoots. A few scattered farmers could be seen toiling in the fields—a truly pastoral scene.
Fang Zhen was a little surprised. He removed his Plate Armor Helmet to take it all in.
There was actually a bit of sunlight today. A gentle breeze blew, lifting the ends of Fang Zhen’s hair. It was a pleasant feeling, and he could smell the faint, fresh fragrance of grass and trees on the wind.
Fang Zhen enjoyed the gentle breeze. Such an experience was quite rare in the Nameless World.
"Finally, some sunlight," Fang Zhen said, taking a deep breath. His mood lifted considerably.
He must have arrived during the local rainy season on his previous visit. Now, it had finally passed.
After savoring the moment for a while longer, Fang Zhen took out a piece of crystal bone from his person, one carved into the shape of a horse’s head.
He tossed it forward.
The Horse Head Crystal Bone activated its power in mid-air. The bone energy Fang Zhen channeled resonated with the Crystal Bone, causing it to transform into a magnificent, blood-red steed that landed on the ground.
The steed’s coat was as scorching as a flame—a red so dazzling it was intoxicating.
In the sunlight, the steed’s coat was so red it seemed it could ignite the very air, exuding an unparalleled, domineering aura. Its mane flowed in the wind like a burning flame, snapping like a war banner.
The warhorse’s body was powerful yet agile, its musculature sleek and strong. Its head reached a height of over two meters, and its hooves were as large as watermelons. Though it was a bone beast, its eyes held a look of disdain for the world.
After landing, the warhorse kicked at the stones underfoot, its powerful hooves shattering them with ease—a clear display of its incredible strength.
Fang Zhen watched the warhorse, an affectionate smile involuntarily appearing on his face.
This was a king’s Crystal Bone Warhorse.
The transformation of a Crystal Bone into a bone beast was a marvelous thing. Logically, these bone beasts should be formed entirely of energy. They shouldn’t have personalities. They should be more like animal-shaped robots than living creatures.
But once you truly "worked the bone" and established a connection, you would find that these bone beasts actually had independent Spirits, and even personalities. They weren’t mechanical at all.
Fang Zhen had only perceived this after mastering the basics himself.
He wondered if this meant that bone beasts possessed souls.
Fang Zhen didn’t know what this crimson warhorse had been called before, but given its appearance, he ultimately decided to name it Red Hare.
He couldn’t help it; the horse just fit the description too perfectly.
He could hardly call it Diao Chan, right?
This Crystal Bone Warhorse had a very proud and aloof temperament, ignoring all other living creatures. The only one it obeyed was Fang Zhen.
Fang Zhen was delighted. He put his helmet on, placed a foot in the stirrup, and swung himself onto the horse.
This was another strange thing about bone beasts. When first shaping a Crystal Bone, the creator would use their own Spirit and will to continuously outline the bone beast’s appearance, habits, and abilities. They could even construct implements on the beast’s body.
Ultimately, once the Crystal Bone was fully formed, whenever a body was constructed from it using energy, any associated accessories would be formed along with it.
Red Hare, when summoned, came with a full set of tack, which was perfectly convenient.
With Fang Zhen mounted on the Red Hare Horse, he truly cut an imposing figure—a tall man on a large horse—and his powerful aura flared to life.
He scanned his surroundings. The place seemed vaguely familiar, apparently somewhere near Ashton City. He checked his memory again and confirmed that he was right.
Once he had his bearings, Fang Zhen urged his horse on, heading toward Ashton City.
Red Hare not only looked magnificent, but it was also incredibly fast. It never suffered from the stamina depletion that an ordinary horse would experience when moving at high speeds.
As long as it had bone energy, it could run tirelessly.
In less than ten minutes, Fang Zhen had reached a spot extremely close to the city and could already see it in the distance.
