Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 255 - 226: Dungeon Run, New Skills, Lack of Wisdom
So Wang Zhifan quickly opened his communication software and talked to Chu Wei about this. They chatted almost every day, sending messages was routine.
About three minutes later, Chu Wei responded by initiating a video call with Wang Zhifan.
"Fan, I just finished clearing out the Gray Realm and saw your message."
On the phone screen, Chu Wei was sitting next to the right window of a car, outside was a view of farmland. Wang Zhifan recognized the vehicle as the bureau’s designated car, having ridden in it several times before.
"No worries. Tomorrow, I plan to raid a dungeon with Ah Ming and his brother, would you like to join?"
Wang Zhifan looked at the slightly fatigued yet still charming youthful face of Chu Wei on the screen and continued speaking.
"I’d love to if you’re taking me... But the bureau has already assigned a team for my next raid. I’m the only unit against Spirit Body-type enemies, so I can’t get away, and I’m too busy lately, no energy for multiple raids."
Chu Wei responded without much thought.
"Oh? You guys have such detailed roles? Then the success rate must be pretty good, right?"
Wang Zhifan showed some interest. Raiding with an official organization was definitely more systematic and professional than spontaneous groups.
"Seems so. Supposedly, it’s a team structure researched by experts from the capital, ensuring strategies for all kinds of dungeons and situations. After testing it for a while with great feedback, they decided to roll it out."
Chu Wei explained briefly. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
"Alright, if it’s reliable, you should stick with them. My side isn’t necessarily less risky, as you would understand."
Wang Zhifan nodded at Chu Wei on the screen, feeling that it was good she had a professional team together, at least she wouldn’t be targeted by the dungeon like he might be.
After chatting a bit more, they ended the call and went on with their busyness.
Wang Zhifan first took a good shower. Feeling the recent takeouts weren’t tasty, he lazily refrained from ordering food and instead took out some reserves from the Wuji Sect world. Most of his food stash had been consumed during the last two raids, needing a resupply.
"I’ll deal with these matters tomorrow. Time to train and see if I can elevate the Great Dream Saber Scripture another level."
Since receiving positive feedback from using the Dream Breaker ability inherited from training the Great Dream Saber Scripture in the last dungeon, he was very focused on cultivating this technique. Except for essential outings and leisure time, he devoted himself to it.
After eating and replenishing his energy, he closed the doors and windows and slipped into the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion in his bedroom closet, beginning another night of cultivation. As for actual sleep, he barely needed it, using dreams as rest due to his extraordinary physique, which had already broken the old daily routines.
About fifteen to sixteen hours later, it was around ten in the morning of the next day when Wang Zhifan emerged from the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion.
"This time I felt some progress in cultivation, but couldn’t break through to the next realm. The level of Great Dream Saber Scripture remains at Lv3. Cultivation just gets harder the further you go... However, the Secret Mansion gave me a surprise, awakening a new innate skill. Just a shame the attribute bonus didn’t show up this time..."
Right now, Wang Zhifan opened his personal panel to check the skill section, noticing a new skill that appeared during last night’s cultivation within the Secret Mansion that nourished his physique.
[Skills: Basic Swordsmanship Lv8, Flow State Lv8, Sprint Lv8, Exceptional Talent Lv8, Vajra Indestructible Lv4, Summon Red Deer Lv7.]
[Vajra Indestructible Lv4]
[Your body possesses additional innate defensive capabilities, reducing all damage taken by 12%, and all your skin can withstand normal swords and blades without injury.]
"The skill is Lv4, indicating it was probably Lv3 when I awoke it, and then boosted to Lv4 by the Cursed Spirit’s Necklace. I suspect this level isn’t its limit; as I continue cultivating in the Secret Mansion, it will surely advance further... The benefits of this place become evident only with prolonged use, though I wonder if the attribute bonus will reappear..."
Wang Zhifan had a gripe with the Secret Mansion: ever since his supreme blood surpassed the 100-point attribute threshold, the all-attribute bonuses that used to appear after every cultivation session just stopped. He hadn’t encountered attribute boosts in his last two sessions, perhaps because his base attributes were already too high, making it hard to increase, which would be a bit of a loss.
After pondering over cultivation issues, Wang Zhifan moved on to other priorities like checking the Deceit Realm.
On the new day, upon entering the gray, shadowy realm, he noticed it had become quite lively, with Yi Lin and Yali, the two succubus maids, managing over thirty diverse magical creatures around the demon’s nest, presenting an intriguing visual.
"Don’t rush! There’s food for everyone! Anyone causing trouble will face punishment when the master arrives!"
The fair-skinned succubus Yi Lin, holding a stick from who knows where, was sternly patrolling around the creatures, loudly maintaining order and occasionally tapping those showing signs of disobedience, much like managing a group of oversized students.
"Bones are here! The bone demon, eat from this box! You winged demons share this fresh meat. Never mind, I’ll distribute it to you all!"
The tan-skinned succubus maid Yali was pushing several stacked boxes around, distributing food with precision, ensuring each creature got the appropriate type and amount of ingredients, preventing disorder over food.
"You two are doing a great job. I was worried you couldn’t manage so many creatures."
After observing for a bit, Wang Zhifan approached and praised the hardworking succubus maids.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master! But rest assured, as succubi, we’re high-level beings with natural management skills."
Yi Lin noticed Wang Zhifan arriving and immediately approached him with a reply.
"Master! The remaining food can last another six days!"
Yali also reported the food consumption status to Wang Zhifan, a regular task they needed to inform him about.
"Six days is decent, but I’ll head out later and grab some more supplies for backups."
Wang Zhifan pondered briefly, realizing the creature consumption was considerable, but being wealthy now, he didn’t mind this expense.
After a brief discussion, he continued to watch the succubus maids managing the creatures, also personally experimenting with the new creatures to understand their skills.
This process was somewhat enjoyable, but with Wang Zhifan’s own powers far beyond these creatures, he treated it more like a game, having no plans to use them in dungeon raids.
Some time later, after testing a few creatures, Wang Zhifan confirmed another concern. He noticed the new creatures didn’t form any special connection with him, thus not generating any faith power for him.
"Is it because their intelligence isn’t high enough?"
Previously, Wang Zhifan speculated that the faith power was too weak due to some creatures’ low levels. But since not even the leader-level ones generated the expected connection, it suggested a lack of high-level intelligence like that possessed by the succubus maids.
