Wu Liangta Himeko, in the abandoned city, looked at the blue panel in front of her, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
“Is this what that guy called a ‘dungeon game’?”
Ji Zi typed her name onto the blue panel.
“Are you sure you want to name your ID: ‘Wu Liangta Himeko’?”
“Confirm / Cancel”
Ji Zi clicked Confirm, and new prompts immediately appeared on the blue panel.
“Congratulations, Player ‘Wu Liangta Himeko’, ID created successfully.”
“Newbie Quest Issued: Survive in the abandoned city for over 30 minutes.”
“Upon quest completion, receive corresponding rewards based on system evaluation.”
“If the quest fails, creatures from the dungeon will appear in the real world.”
“Please cherish your life, good luck.”
Wu Liangta Himeko stretched her limbs, then picked up a blood-stained baseball bat from the ground.
Just then, she heard a series of barks, and looking over, she saw a pack of mutated dogs with large mouths rushing towards her.
“I’m used to using a greatsword, so switching to a lighter weapon feels a bit awkward.”
Ji Zi swung the baseball bat twice, then pointed it at the pack of mutated dogs.
One mutated dog lunged forward, and Ji Zi, gripping the baseball bat with both hands, swung it with the force of a home run, but the mutated dog didn't fly as far as Ji Zi had expected.
“My strength has weakened? No, I can’t even feel Honkai energy anymore.”
Stigmata record a vast amount of technology, knowledge, and power far exceeding modern science, manifesting directly on the host in the form of abilities unexplainable by modern science.
Each Stigmata possesses different characteristics and even different abilities. However, without exception, because the technology within Stigmata is driven by Honkai energy, Stigmata holders are all endowed with excellent individual Honkai energy resistance.
Artificial Stigmata simulate the operation of Stigmata to a certain extent. After surgical implantation into a Valkyrie’s body, they can significantly enhance her Honkai energy resistance, but in return, she must bear an immense physical burden.
However, artificial Stigmata are ultimately just imitations. Humanity’s current technology is completely unable to analyze the internal structure of Stigmata, only able to crudely imitate them by following the blueprint.
Therefore, only the enhancement of Honkai energy resistance was retained, while other abilities were greatly weakened.
Ji Zi only stunned froze for a moment; those mutated dogs, like mad, lunged at her.
Ji Zi had no choice but to use the combat skills she had honed during her years as a Valkyrie to take down these mutated dogs.
Ji Zi was indeed worthy of being a Schicksal A-rank Valkyrie; even without Artificial Stigmata, her combat experience was enough for her to deal with these mutated dogs.
“Phew~ According to the system, there should be a creature similar to a game boss here.”
Ji Zi left her original spot and found a place to conceal herself, then began to analyze the situation.
“That guy said that any action taken within the dungeon would be recorded by the system, and at the end, a rating would be given based on the player’s actions. The higher the rating, the better the rewards.”
Newbie dungeons are not special dungeons; as long as the boss is not defeated, the monsters will appear in the real world accordingly.
Ji Zi pondered for a moment and decided to find the boss first. Although her current body was somewhat weak, if the enemies were all of the same strength as those mutated dogs, Ji Zi was confident she could handle them.
Of course, Ji Zi made this decision not because she thought she was very strong, but if it was this level, it was still acceptable.
If her guess was correct, then one day she would be able to return to her students.
“Kiana, Bronya, Ya Yi, and the Principal… maybe we’ll meet again very soon.”
As Ji Zi, having made up her mind, stood up, a ring emitting a faint purple glow fell from her clothes.
Ji Zi noticed the existence of this ring, and immediately, its item description appeared before her eyes.
“Item Name: Mechanical Ring”
“Type: Equipment”
“Quality: Epic”
“Effect: Can transform into Ace Robot. Duration three minutes, usable skill: Mechanical Metallium Ray.”
(Note: Ace Ultraman’s replica, Yapool’s technology is number one in the universe.)”
Ji Zi looked at the system description, her mind a bit muddled. What was this? Ultraman? Wasn’t that a tokusatsu show?
However, thinking of herself, Ji Zi immediately felt it wasn't so unacceptable.
That Mechanical Ring was naturally placed there by Fang Xinhan. He had originally thought Ji Zi would inspect her clothes before putting them on, then discover the Mechanical Ring, and then she would ask Fang Xinhan about the ring, and Fang Xinhan could then tell her about it.
But he hadn’t expected her to trust the clothes Fang Xinhan gave her so much that she put them on directly without even checking.
Apparently, when she got the Godsbane Armor Prototype—Crimson Knight: Eclipse, Ji Zi had also put it on directly.
Ji Zi put the Mechanical Ring on her right middle finger. She vaguely guessed that Fang Xinhan had deliberately left it for her.
“What a cute little brother.”
Ji Zi grabbed the baseball bat and walked towards the city center; those mutated dogs had come from that direction initially.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, Fang Xinhan used Alchemy combined with the TLT technology he had seen to instantly craft a Wave Neutralizer.
Unlike the Management Bureau’s wave detector, this machine could offset the waves generated by the dungeon, preventing outsiders from detecting its presence.
“I think the Alchemy skill can be tried and developed.”
So, Fang Xinhan sat down on the ground and began to sculpt figurines. Suddenly, he remembered that there were still 3 mutated zombies whose intelligence had not been extracted, so he just did it on the fly.
After decomposing the bodies of the three mutated zombies with the Energy Burst Gun, he continued to tinker with Alchemy.
Fang Xinhan first made several puppets, infused them with intelligence, and then had them drag over nearby metal objects and other usable items.
Shifting the perspective back to Ji Zi, the baseball bat in her hand was now broken, and several mutated dogs were still glaring at her menacingly.
Ji Zi crouched low and began to circle with the mutated dogs. Suddenly, one mutated dog, clearly the leader, leaped without warning. Seeing this, Ji Zi rolled, conveniently picking up a steel pipe she had noticed earlier.
As the mutated dog lunged at her, Ji Zi abruptly propped the steel pipe on the ground, and the mutated dog crashed headfirst onto the sharp end of the steel pipe.
Then, the mutated dog’s head burst open, and yellow and white matter flowed down the steel pipe, marking its death.
“You brainless beasts, come at me.”
Ji Zi couldn't show fatigue; she used her aura to intimidate the other mutated dogs.
The other mutated dogs, seeing their leader gone, sensed that the situation was dire and immediately retreated. Only when the mutated dogs had retreated to a safe distance did Ji Zi finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Congratulations! You have defeated the Dungeon Boss, Mutated Dog King.”
“You have received an A-rank evaluation.”
“You have obtained Dungeon Game Universal Currency Gold x1000, Rare Skill Scroll x1, Free Attribute Point x1.”
“Your level has increased from 0 → 2.”
(P.S.: Burned out)
