Elite Skeleton Warlock
Level: LV.11
Strength: 128
Agility: 128
Stamina: 153
Spirit: 357
Skills: Corrosion Art (LV.11), Wraith Entanglement (LV.11)
Corrosion Art (LV.11): Deals continuous damage to the target.
Wraith Entanglement (LV.11): Summons a Wraith to trap the target, preventing them from moving or attacking for 10 seconds, and has a certain chance to inflict a fear status. While feared, the target's Strength attribute is reduced by 11%.
After seeing the attributes, Mu Chen gasped. Although he didn't know the attributes of the monsters in the official dungeon, judging by the attributes of this summoned Skeleton, it should far exceed those of monsters at the same level.
Mu Chen placed the Skeleton Warlock into the summoning space, and then a wave of exhaustion washed over him.
Mu Chen checked and found that all of his Spirit had been consumed! This summon alone cost 20 points of Spirit.
Mu Chen guessed that this was likely related to the Skeleton's strength; the stronger the Skeleton, the more Spirit it would consume.
Mu Chen then sat directly on the ground and began to recover Spirit through meditation. Everyone could do this, slowly restoring Spirit. They all used meditation to replace sleep.
The next morning, Mu Chen opened his eyes, feeling all his fatigue vanish.
After a quick wash, Mu Chen took his student ID and left his home.
Before long, a school bus slowly arrived, and Mu Chen followed the others onto it.
Soon, the school bus brought them to the dungeon's location.
Because all high schools in Dongyang City had their class change at the same time, many third-year high school students had already gathered here.
There were over ten thousand third-year students in Dongyang City, but only about a thousand had gathered here, most of whom were Support classes, with very few combat-oriented professions.
"Attention all third-year high school students, please swipe your student ID from your respective school to enter the dungeon. Non-students, please actively pay the dungeon fee!"
A repeating announcement blared from the speakers. However, most of those who came here were third-year high school students, though some second-year students also came to get an early feel for it, always accompanied by older family members.
Back then, Mu Jiangxue had also planned to bring Mu Chen to experience it, but Mu Chen refused because it was a critical period for Mu Jiangxue, and he didn't want to affect his sister's future because of himself.
"Sister, trust me, we'll meet again very soon!"
Mu Chen took a deep breath, preparing to enter the dungeon.
"Hey, classmate, interested in forming a party? I'm a Priest, specializing in saving people from dire situations. Under my blessing, killing monsters is as easy as eating and drinking!"
A chubby young man in a white robe, holding a staff, came up to Mu Chen with a grin.
Mu Chen focused his gaze and was instantly drawn to the staff in his hand. The chubby young man seemed to have no guard up, so Mu Chen immediately read the information on the staff.
Holy Light Scepter
Grade: Rare
Level: 1
Spirit: +15
Agility: +10
Stamina: +10
Special Attribute: Support classes casting healing skills gain a 50% increase in healing effectiveness. Casting attack skills gains a 125% increase in damage effectiveness.
This chubby guy is a little rich kid!
This Scepter would cost at least 10 silver, and it was priceless in the early stages!
The Great Qin Empire's currency was divided into gold, silver, and copper, with a conversion ratio of 1000. An average family's monthly income was only about 1 silver coin.
To spend 10 silver on this Scepter like this chubby young man, a family's income would need to be at least 50 silver or even more.
Mu Chen suddenly became curious about the chubby young man's identity. This guy was so extravagant; he couldn't be some nobody.
"How about it? Am I not a great party member?"
The chubby young man triumphantly raised the Scepter in his hand, clearly having intentionally shown Mu Chen its attributes earlier.
"Then how are you so sure I'm a combat-oriented profession and not a Support class like you?"
Mu Chen was a bit curious. After all, he had hidden his information, and unless someone's level exceeded his by 10, they couldn't view his information. How could he be sure Mu Chen was a combat-oriented profession?
"That's simple. Have you ever seen a Support class that doesn't actively look for party members?"
Mu Chen paused slightly at that, then shook his head with a smile. This chubby young man was indeed clever.
"While you're very clever, I'm sorry, I don't plan on forming a party!"
Although forming a party increased dungeon clearing efficiency, the experience gained was only 60% of solo play, as a monster's experience had to be split between two people.
"Classmate, not forming a party isn't a good habit. You should know that unity is strength, and I'm not dead weight. With me joining, your level will definitely skyrocket!"
Seeing that Mu Chen had no intention of forming a party, the chubby young man immediately became anxious and began to constantly promote himself.
"Alright, alright, don't say anymore for now. In the early stages, I need to level up quickly. How about we exchange contact information, and we can party up later?"
Mu Chen truly couldn't stand the chubby young man's constant verbal bombardment.
"Okay, then let's exchange information first. You have to take me with you later!"
Chen Xu finished speaking and handed a Sound Transmission Stone to Mu Chen.
As long as Mu Chen also took out a Sound Transmission Stone and touched it, the two of them could communicate.
Mu Chen's expression was a bit awkward. A Sound Transmission Stone cost 20 gold. Given his current family's financial situation, it would probably be very difficult for him to earn 20 gold in his lifetime!
What was a rich kid? This was a rich kid! A 20-gold Sound Transmission Stone, he just took it out! He had underestimated this guy before!
...
Chen Xu quickly realized that Mu Chen probably didn't have a Sound Transmission Stone.
"Alright, I didn't bring a Sound Transmission Stone with me today. When you come to the Imperial Merchant Guild someday, I, Chen Xu, will arrange one for you!"
Hearing the chubby young man's words, Mu Chen was stunned, then looked at him in surprise: "Are you perhaps the son of Chen Wencheng?"
Chen Wencheng was very famous in Dongyang City. He was the president of the Imperial Merchant Guild's Dongyang City branch, and it was no exaggeration to say he was the wealthiest person in Dongyang City.
After all, the Imperial Merchant Guild was the largest merchant guild in this world, with branches not only in the Great Qin Empire but also in other empires.
Within the Imperial Merchant Guild, as long as you had money, you could buy most of the things you wanted.
And you could also bring materials dropped from dungeons or in the wild here to consign or auction them, and they would sell for a good price.
Not only that, but you could also gather intelligence here; as long as your offer was high enough, you could know all secrets.
Although Dongyang City was only considered a small city within the Great Qin Empire's territory, Chen Wencheng, as the branch president of the Imperial Merchant Guild, still had a considerable income.
If that were the case, then it would be normal for him to wield not just a rare-grade weapon, but even a legendary-grade one.
Chen Xu rolled his eyes: "Whose son I am isn't important. I want to rely on my own efforts, not my old man!"
Mu Chen heard this and immediately looked at Chen Xu with disdain. Rely on his own efforts? How could he be using a rare-grade weapon then?
Seemingly noticing Mu Chen's gaze, Chen Xu awkwardly put away the Scepter in his hand.
"Mu Chen, if there's a chance, we can party up!"
Mu Chen felt that this chubby young man was someone he could get along with.
After Mu Chen finished speaking, he directly took out his student ID and swiped it lightly on the light screen. The light screen then opened, and Mu Chen walked straight in.
"Hey, we haven't exchanged contact information yet!"
Chen Xu looked speechlessly at the already vanished Mu Chen. What about exchanging contact information? You just told me a name?
