The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe
Chapter 50: Hidden Dungeon Begins
CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: HIDDEN DUNGEON BEGINS
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching shook his head: "Kid, it’s a pity you don’t do business in reality."
Mr. Zhou shrugged his shoulders: "My family doesn’t allow it, otherwise I might really go into business."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching pondered for a moment: "By the way, they said the secret vault updated a Low Tier Enhanced Alchemy Potion that can strengthen Low Tier Skeleton Warriors."
"Ten enhancements will also allow reaching Middle Tier Skeleton Warrior."
"Is it because some players reached Low Tier Skeleton Warrior that it’s unlocked? So, when we become Low Tier Skeleton Mage, will the shop also update?"
Mr. Zhou shrugged: "Mr. Qian, you should first figure out your Magic Power; you haven’t even got a handle on that yet, don’t overthink."
Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching sighed: "Alright, let’s make equipment quickly, the sooner it’s done, the sooner I can meditate."
"Who knows when new players can join, when the trading system will open, when can we earn something."
Mr. Zhou, swinging the Fire Crystal Hammer, analyzed: "I don’t think it’s too far off, after all, we veteran players have reached Level 2, the gap with new players shouldn’t be huge."
"That acquisition task Mage Fang Ka posted is mainly for leveling up; both of us received quite a bit of experience from the previous team task reward pool."
"So, don’t worry about our current actions causing us to fall behind the veteran players’ levels."
"Currently, the main issue is the lack of resources. None of us are content with mastering just one class, dual-classing is tough."
Not long after Fang Ka published the team task, he released a task for acquiring Level 2 materials.
The task sought materials for making Low Tier Enhanced Alchemy Potions, buying every hundred portions with 10 points of experience, 20 Copper Coins, and 2 points.
The Low Tier Enhanced Alchemy Potion, as the name suggests, helps Undead Skeletons who have reached the Low Tier Skeleton level enhance to the Middle Tier Skeleton level.
It requires using this Low Tier Enhanced Alchemy Potion fifteen times to reach the Middle Tier Skeleton Warrior level.
It sounds like just five more enhancements than before, but in fact, it is much harder.
Because the magic potion needed for Low Tier Enhanced Alchemy Potion is much harder to gather than the previous ones.
They often require special techniques when gathering, and their distribution is sparser.
These players need to put in more effort and time to gather the same 100 portions of magic potion.
In the blink of an eye, a day has passed.
Fang Ka stood by the beach next to the Ancient Castle, with water shimmering before him.
He was structuring a Water Magic Pattern, trying to cast Water Magic.
Suddenly, a water arrow as thick as a thumb shot out in front of him and pierced into the beach, disappearing without a trace.
"Success..."
Fang Ka exhaled slightly.
Ever since he posted that team task to the players, he started learning Water Magic to enhance his Magic Affinity.
This is mainly for Weapon Enchantment, to perform a Magic System Weapon Enchantment, you must have the corresponding Magic Affinity.
His plan is to apply Basic Level Water Enchantment on those players’ armor, and Basic Level Dark Enchantment on their weapons.
This way, the armor will have better resilience and buffering ability, and the weapons will have stronger damaging and corrosive properties.
As for why it’s Basic Level Enchantment, it’s because Fang Ka is currently a Mage Apprentice, only able to perform Basic Level Enchantments.
Once he reaches Low Level Mage, he can perform Low Level Enchantments.
"Aren’t those players’ equipment finished yet?" Fang Ka glanced at the distance.
Until now, this group of players has not come to him to submit the final team task they released.
This indicates that those players’ equipment hasn’t been fully crafted yet.
Since all players’ equipment is crafted by Mr. Zhou and Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching, they must be helping other players finish crafting all their equipment before creating the task items and submitting the task.
According to Fang Ka’s plan, he intends to enhance his own Water Affinity first, then once these players submit the final team task, he will open the hidden dungeon.
He can use the hidden dungeon as an excuse to offer these players a discounted opportunity for Enchanted Armor, allowing them to afford the enchantment.
They will become a group of well-defended tin cans to protect their safety.
During this time, Fang Ka also found time to watch Mr. Zhou and Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching crafting equipment.
The two of them are becoming more skilled and adept, and their speed is increasing.
So, by his estimation, it shouldn’t take much longer.
Fang Ka stepped back to the Ancient Castle, sat on the deck chair in front, and began to meditate.
Meditation cannot be neglected; whenever there is time, it must always be adhered to.
After meditating till the evening, finally, Mr. Zhou and Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching arrived with a large group of players.
At this time, this group of players had completely changed their equipment; they were not the same anymore.
Previously, they were just a bunch of Skeletons, indistinguishable to normal people.
Now, each player was wearing different Morsun Steel or Galan Steel armor, wielding various weapons.
They looked incredibly cool, and were now easily distinguishable.
Soon, Mr. Zhou came forward holding a sword and said to Fang Ka: "Mage Fang Ka, this is the weapon you need."
Fang Ka glanced at these players, then stood up, walked to Mr. Zhou, and took the longsword from him.
With a slight swing, a sound of cutting the air rang out.
I must say, this is a good sword.
Mr. Zhou has been crafting equipment for these players for quite some time, and now his craftsmanship has clearly reached a certain level.
This final longsword crafted is very impressive.
Placing the longsword in front of him, Fang Ka carefully examined the exquisite patterns engraved on it.
After a while, he put it away.
Then, he settled the rewards for this team task for the players.
After settling the rewards, he released the prepared notification for the hidden dungeon.
"The hidden dungeon is officially open. Please follow Mage Fang Ka to the western Dead Volcano tomorrow morning."
"Please be sure to follow Mage Fang Ka’s directions. This hidden dungeon opening offers players a one-time opportunity for armor enchantment at a 10% discount, please seize it."
"The hidden dungeon is temporarily unknown, and the rewards are temporarily unknown."
Seeing this notification, all the players present were dumbfounded.
They really didn’t expect that the hidden dungeon they had been eagerly discussing would suddenly open now.
This indeed took them by surprise.
