Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 586 - 392: Using Cards

In just over half a month, time flew by.

For almost all players, everything in the dungeon during this period was so calm it felt surreal.

Half a month ago, the gunner player Huang Mengze from Xia Country and the Assassin player Luu Qiang, also from Xia Country, got in touch with each other and left the Shadow Desert and the Big Town to make a living in the bustling Ya City a thousand kilometers away, living both thrilling and comfortable days.

At this moment, they were both wearing the standard attire of this city’s elite, casually chatting and sipping coffee in a café.

"Qiang, I’m almost out of money. Let’s do another business deal today, shall we?"

With a buzz-cut and wearing sunglasses but no trench coat, Huang Mengze smiled as he spoke, looking across the table at the ordinary-looking Luu Qiang.

"Did you go gambling again?"

Luu Qiang responded with frustration as soon as he heard this because he was well aware of his friend’s nature – no amount of money was ever enough.

"No, no, no! I was just experiencing life! You know, the recent days have been too boring; the natives don’t even catch us, nor do we encounter any juicy players. I just had to find some fun, so naturally, money ran out..."

Huang Mengze shook his head in reply, his tone inexplicably carrying a hint of dejection.

"Haha... Safe life still doesn’t satisfy you? Do you miss the time when we first entered the dungeon, being hunted down by a bunch of people?"

Luu Qiang felt a bit speechless. He was quite content with the current stability of the dungeon, though he wouldn’t truly relax until the dungeon ended.

"You know, I really do miss it a bit."

Unexpectedly, Huang Mengze’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, his spirits instantly lifting.

"You wouldn’t believe it, I hid in a tower in the desert back then, ran into several more players and natives there – all of them were pretty capable, but I still outplayed them with my invincible skills. If I hadn’t been forcibly teleported away later, I might have wiped them all out..."

He recalled excitedly, like a veteran boasting about his glorious combat achievements, even if these achievements weren’t that long ago.

"Stop, stop... I’ve heard it a few times already... drink your coffee!"

Luu Qiang became a bit impatient instantly. Recently, he had heard this guy brag several times over, with the same stories each time, finding it highly unoriginal.

The two of them chatted casually like this, and before long, the topic returned to the dungeon itself, discussing why the survival pressure was very immense at the beginning of this dungeon but suddenly became extremely easy and relaxed later on.

Huang Mengze was somewhat confused about this, but didn’t really care, responding:

"Who knows what’s going on... Given the style of these supernatural games, maybe they’re brewing something big, and the current relaxation is just to lull us into a false sense of security."

Luu Qiang didn’t comment on this viewpoint, but he vaguely felt there might be something more going on since he had witnessed a player and a BOSS walking together amicably, indirectly saving him.

"I think it’s because there’s a hidden expert among the players, this expert resolved the conflict between the native forces and us, so we can now relax without worrying about being besieged by native forces."

Just after saying this, he remembered something else and continued:

"Did you hear? There’s a rumor recently in this city about a superpower being hidden in the vicinity, said that guy effortlessly solved a huge trouble, like fending off a large-scale nuclear bomb attack, and didn’t seek fame or fortune, making people unable to fathom. I highly suspect this person is the real BOSS of the dungeon and will jump out to pressure us when the dungeon is nearly over..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the previously low-spirited Huang Mengze perked up instantly, responding along with the speculation:

"So, you mean we might see the big BOSS and the big shot have a showdown later? Wouldn’t it be great if the big shot got killed by the big BOSS just as the dungeon ends, and we could pick up his gear and become instantly rich..."

The two bored players continued to chat idly in the café, unaware that back at their initial entry point into this dungeon in the Shadow Desert, this so-called player expert and big BOSS achieved a crucial breakthrough.

"After half a month of relentless effort, I’ve finally broken through to Lv3 in the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill!"

At this moment, Wang Zhifan was quite excited at the top floor of the black tower. If anyone happened to be beside him, they would see blue and purple arcs of light constantly flickering on him, as if he had applied some cool special effects on himself.

But in reality, this wasn’t any deceptive illusion trick; it marked his progress in cultivating the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill, signifying he had mastered the power of wind and thunder. Now, executing this lightweight skill was more efficient—his speed became faster, and he could continuously sprint for miles without resting, representing a qualitative improvement.

Along with it, mastering the power of wind and thunder would also enhance his offensive capabilities, adding some wind and thunder attribute damage to his melee attacks.

However, expectations shouldn’t be too high in this area, as the Wind and Thunder Heaven-Treading Skill is fundamentally a lightweight skill, and the attack bonuses are just an added benefit.

"Going forward, the cultivation direction of this technique is to develop towards breaking Nine Heavens Gang Wind, which is quite difficult and holds no significant necessary meaning to me currently, so it’s time to switch to another cultivation technique."

Having just achieved a milestone, Wang Zhifan wasted no time considering his next step.
