Gacha pull: I obtained a god-level talent.

After the wolves finished devouring the carcass, Zhang Yuan conveniently converted the wolves into his own experience points before starting to examine the two pieces of equipment he had obtained.

[Poisoned Dagger (Silver Grade): Attack Power +100, Assassin Skill Damage +10%, inflicts poison damage, usable at level 20.]

【Emerald Bow and Arrow (Silver Grade): Attack Power +80, Bow Skill Damage +10%, Comes with the Triple Shot skill, usable at level 20.】

Both of these pieces of equipment have excellent stats; they could easily sell for 100,000 yuan.

In this world, precious weapons are ranked, from lowest to highest as follows: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Epic, Legendary, and Divine.

In addition, there are class-specific weapons that can only be obtained through gacha pulls, such as Zhang Yuan's divine sword, Crimson Sky.

Generally speaking, the attributes of a Tier 1 exclusive weapon are above Epic but below Legendary. As the refinement level increases, the equipment attributes will continue to rise until it is fully refined and becomes a Divine Weapon.

Due to the unique nature of exclusive weapons that are tailored to a particular class, once an exclusive weapon is fully refined, its value is even higher than that of a regular artifact.

"These two pieces of equipment are useless to me. I can sell them when I get back to make some money and ease my financial burden."

Zhang Yuan packed up his equipment and ventured deep into the forest, reaching the heart of the goblin tribe's territory.

Darkness had fallen, and thick fog had risen around them. The roars of beasts could be heard from all around, and the air seemed to be filled with a dangerous atmosphere.

The wilderness at night is several times more dangerous than during the day.

At night, most professionals choose to set up camp in a safe area or retreat back into the city, except for freaks like Zhang Yuan.

Soon, a goblin with glowing red eyes appeared in Zhang Yuan's field of vision.

Zhang Yuan used the Eye of the Abyss.

Goblin Axeman

【Level: 20】

【Strength: 600】

[Agility: 50]

【Spirit: 20】

[Physique: 220]

[Skills: Axe Swing, Berserk]

"As expected of a monster that spawns at night, its stats are significantly higher than those of a regular level 20 monster. No wonder textbooks always remind us that if you're leveling up in the wild, it's best to return to town before sunset."

Zhang Yuan sighed as he controlled ten iron swords to finish off the elite goblin axeman.

[Successfully defeated the Goblin Axeman, experience +1000]

[Successfully defeated the Goblin Archer, experience +1200]

[Successfully killed the wolf, experience +50]

[Obtained 10 Goblin Bones, 3 Goblin Eyeballs, and 20 Wolf Hides]

A series of kill notifications appeared, and Zhang Yuan's experience points increased slightly.

"Not bad, the experience here is much higher than in the hidden dungeon for beginners. I might be able to level up two or three times tonight."

Zhang Yuan was very satisfied with the experience provided by these monsters, and continued to venture deeper into the forest, slaughtering the monsters within.

In less than an hour, a golden light shot out from Zhang Yuan's body, and Zhang Yuan rose to level 13, with his mental strength reaching 490 points.

Zhang Yuan, who was initially a little sleepy, suddenly became energetic after the upgrade.

"I didn't expect that the upgrade would not only restore my condition, but also sweep away my fatigue."

Zhang Yuan was full of energy and fought his way into the depths of the forest, where he arrived at a huge blue vortex.

"Copy?"

When Zhang Yuan saw the dungeon deep in the forest, he was taken aback and took out a map to compare it.

"The map doesn't mark this place as a dungeon, so this must be a newly appeared hidden dungeon. Looks like I'm lucky."

The government and the Adventurers' Guild have a policy that rewards professionals with money and contribution points for discovering and reporting new wilderness dungeons.

Money goes without saying, but contribution points are extremely important. The higher a professional's contribution points, the more privileges they can unlock in the Adventurers' Guild.

For example, at the Imperial Exchange, Zhang Yuan can only buy some basic materials and equipment now. As his contribution level increases, his membership level at the exchange will also increase accordingly, and he will be able to buy more things.

Generally speaking, professionals don't enter new dungeons casually after discovering them. They wait for the Adventurers' Guild to send professionals to assess the dungeon's level before considering whether to enter.

After all, the dungeon level is unknown. If the dungeon discovered is a high-level dungeon, then low-level professionals would be committing suicide if they went in.

However, Zhang Yuan had a new idea.

After all, this is a new dungeon, and the first-clear reward is quite generous. If he waits for the Adventurers' Guild to assess the dungeon's level before challenging it, it would be tantamount to handing over the rewards to the Adventurers' Guild.

"I wonder if the Eye of the Abyss can detect dungeon information."

Zhang Yuan put away the map and tried using the Eye of the Abyss on the hidden dungeon ahead.

Shadow Forest Dungeon

【Level: 15】

[Difficulty: Normal/Hard/Nightmare/?]

"question mark?"

Zhang Yuan was taken aback when he saw a question mark in the dungeon information provided by the Eye of the Abyss.

He knew that the outdoor dungeons were difficult, but he didn't expect that this dungeon had a hidden difficulty.

"I should be able to solo level 15 dungeons now..."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yuan decided to try out the Nightmare difficulty first.

After all, this isn't a game; if you die in a dungeon, you're really dead. Rashly challenging hidden difficulties isn't a wise choice.

Please confirm whether you wish to select Nightmare difficulty.

"confirm!"

Zhang Yuan was teleported into the instance and entered an unknown forest.

The Shadow Forest dungeon, as its name suggests, is a dark and gloomy forest filled with thick fog, with visibility less than 20 meters.

The entire instance was filled with a depressing atmosphere, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air.

Shadow Forest Dungeon

There was only one path under Zhang Yuan's feet, leading deep into the forest. However, due to the thick fog obscuring his vision, Zhang Yuan had no idea what awaited him ahead.

"The atmosphere here is absolutely amazing. I'm afraid many timid professionals would immediately back out if they saw this environment."

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but shiver. He first used his iron sword to scout ahead and, after confirming there were no traps, he began to move forward.

Boom!

Zhang Yuan hadn't walked far when the ground suddenly shook, and a dark figure, four or five meters tall, appeared in the thick fog ahead.

Zhang Yuan immediately used the Eye of the Abyss.

【Shadow Forest Giant (Enhanced Elite)】

【Level: 15】

【Strength: 1000】

[Agility: 100]

【Spirit: 30】

[Physique: 1000]

[Skills: Tremor Attack, Stone Throw]

"As expected of an elite monster in the Nightmare Dungeon, its level 15 stats are so much higher than those of a level 20 goblin outside."

Strength affects attack power and health, while constitution affects defense and health. This monster has over a thousand strength and constitution, making it a true high-attack, high-defense tank.

However, with 1000 strength and 1000 constitution, and around 20,000 health, it still couldn't withstand the attack of ten iron swords.

Zhang Yuan controlled ten iron swords to attack the monster.

-48238.

The giant of the Shadow Forest was pierced through the chest by 10 iron swords, fell to the ground on the spot, and turned into black smoke and disappeared.
