Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 111: Found You


There are five days until Sword Star and the lecture team arrive, and seven days until the next dungeon access.

Taking advantage of this time, Wu Chang prepared to consolidate the strength he had gained.

Three dungeons, spanning no more than half a month, have more than doubled his attributes compared to before entering the Abyssal Game.

The enormous enhancement of his attributes made him feel unfamiliar with his own body.

He didn't know how fast he could run now, how strong he was, or how quick his reactions were.

Previously, when clearing dungeons, he mostly relied on dungeon mechanics and skill values, never having been driven to the brink.

But you never know when you might encounter a worst-case scenario.

If he were truly at the brink, unable to fully control his body, he wouldn't even be able to grasp the slightest chance of survival.

Though by his nature, he never prepared for full-on confrontations, this point remains a hidden danger.

However, the problem he faced is one that nearly all players of the Abyssal Game encounter.

The solution is simple: rent a private training room in the Crimson Courtyard.

For just 10 Rotten Silver Coins per hour, you can rent a private training room where no one can pry.

It comes equipped with various apparatus and usage tutorials, so whatever training effect you desire can be found in the corresponding methods.

If you're willing to pay an extra 20 Rotten Silver Coins per hour to unlock an AI personal trainer, the training room can design a customized training plan based on the user's attributes and current mastery of their body.

If that's still not enough, and you're willing to spend twice the price to purchase SVIP client privileges, the AI personal trainer will transform into a top training expert, monitoring the user's status around the clock and providing real-time adjustment suggestions.

Wu Chang now needed time, so he went directly for SVIP, maximizing efficiency.

In two days, 20 hours, after spending 1000 Rotten Silver Coins, he fully mastered his current body.

Whether it's delivering a punch with a precise amount of force, pacing a run to the nearest second, or catching a coin tossed high in the air, it's all under his control.

He had never understood himself so well before.

The attributes added to the panel by the Abyssal Game crudely enhanced his physical body, merely representing the lower limit.

By absorbing them scientifically and efficiently, he could unleash the upper limits of these powers.

Two days of training allowed him to absorb and consolidate the strength in his body. Under the guidance of a top training expert, his power, agility, and endurance all increased by two points, an unexpected bonus.

He was now akin to a seasoned athletic student, unfazed by any task.

According to the initial estimate for the training room, without guidance, it would take at least a month of foolish training to fully master his abilities, let alone reach his current level.

From this training, Wu Chang's greatest realization was that spending money could indeed make one stronger.

The existence of the training room shows that the Abyssal Game is not friendly to ordinary players.

The game's mode leans toward concentrating resources collected by a large number of low-end players to supply those at the top of the pyramid.

How does the saying go? In free-to-play games, 0-spend and low-spend players are also part of the wealthy players' gaming experience.

It's harsh but true.

If you follow this logic in depth.

After the world dungeon, the sudden need for the Abyssal Game to absorb 5 million new players, is there a possibility that the resource output of current lower-tier players can no longer meet the demands of top-tier players?

Is that why the Abyssal Game is so desperately absorbing masses, bolstering the game experience for top players?

No matter what the truth is, the progress of the Abyssal Game is bound to accelerate dramatically in the near future.

If you can't keep up, you're destined to be eliminated.

Besides spending time in the training room, he also practiced various fighting techniques with Zhao Yan.

Five days of training also yielded substantial rewards.

With the same physical attributes, a professional fighter's punch would be much heavier than those of a bodybuilder or powerlifter.

Involves aspects like exertion methods, muscle memory, and neural coordination.

The panel attributes only decide how much power you have, but fighting techniques and various skills determine how much of that power you can exert.

Take Liu Shan and Liu Wei from the Peaceful Town dungeon; their attributes weren't high, but through exquisite martial arts, they could exert power far beyond their attributes.

In training with Zhao Yan, Wu Chang quickly grasped techniques due to his high inspiration and strong control over his muscles.

In just five days, a new skill appeared on his attribute panel: Fighting Introduction (E).

The improvement in exertion methods also made the Mamba Iron Elbow more formidable, now combining control and damage.

Zhao Yan observed his progress, praising him as an excellent candidate for fighting, frequently advising him to change his strategy and fight head-on, claiming that such direct combat is the romance of men.

To this, Wu Chang retorted, cursing how ridiculous that notion was.

Wait till I enter the dungeon, stack my power to triple digits with True Self, and when exchanging blows with you, you'll realize that survival and victory are the true romance for men.

Wu Chang knew his own reality; he wasn't swayed by Zhao Yan's compliments, fully understanding his own positioning.

Mastering his body and learning fighting techniques were merely to cover deficiencies and add finesse.

Playing it safe and retreating were his real strategies for survival.

Space Magic saved him the cost of upgrading his personal space, and the Superhero's Tight Suit meant he no longer had to worry about purchasing armor.

The Peaceful Town strategy was so smooth that he didn't even get the chance to use the prepared medicines, still having Erin, a powerful healer, in tow, saving on pharmaceutical expenses.

Viewing the 29,000 Rotten Silver Coins in his account, he went to the trading area and bought two skill scrolls he'd had his eyes on but never purchased.

"Skill Name: Social Phobia"

"Skill Level: D"

"Skill Description: Due to a fear of socializing and poor conversational skills, you can voluntarily reduce your presence to the point where people around you subconsciously ignore your existence. The degree of thin presence is impacted by the Inspiration attribute."

"Skill Notes: When you find fewer utensils set when dining with others, you'll know your ability is active."

The D-Level Social Phobia skill was priced at 3,000 Rotten Silver Coins.

A non-combat skill with Inspiration attribute bonuses made it quite niche and undervalued.

But for Wu Chang, it was undoubtedly a divine skill.

He tried using Social Phobia in reality; with his high Inspiration, not only was one set of utensils missing, but even in group photos with his dorm mates, his figure would be obscured by inexplicable glare.

"Skill Name: Advanced Stealth"

"Skill Level: C"

"Skill Description: An essential skill for advanced assassins; while in stealth mode, you can conceal your form, aura, breathing, and heat, not being detected by the naked eye or electronic devices. Attacking breaks the stealth mode. Duration: 60 seconds, Cooldown: 10 minutes. Stealth effect depends on Agility, Endurance, and Inspiration attributes."

"Skill Notes: Stealth is a serious combat skill, so do not use it for peculiar purposes."

The C-Level Advanced Stealth, though not a direct combat skill, was highly sought for its life-saving and escape properties, costing him 12,000 Rotten Silver Coins.

Advanced Stealth combined with Social Phobia allowed him to achieve an invisibility-like effect, making it an absolute divine skill for his play style, essential for the strategy.

However, one issue puzzled him—the so-called peculiar purposes mentioned in the Advanced Stealth skill notes?

Wu Chang was at a loss, not knowing if anyone could explain it to him.

Five days quickly passed, and soon came the day Zhao Yan informed him about.

Professor Shi Ning leading the lecture tour team arrived in Wanghai City; at the same time, a figure shrouded entirely in a black robe followed the scent.

The images on the surface of the figure beneath the black robe constantly shifted, warping his body as if it were a lump of randomly mashed clay.

The stuff inside him felt its target, close to being uncontrollable.

His eyes turned towards Wanghai University, revealing a sinister smile.

Found you, Sword Star.
