TSA Chapter 9

Challenge Dungeon

Ran Qi put on the cloak of invisibility. Ran Qi wrapped himself in a black cloak from head to toe, causing the ID on the top of his head to disappear.

If someone dressed like this in reality, it was actually very conspicuous in the crowd. But this was in the game, and the cloak of invisibility also had a function of reducing the sense of existence, which would make people around him unconsciously ignore him.

On the following road, Ran Qi became much more relaxed. He never encountered anyone who attacked him again along the way, and occasionally someone passed by without noticing him. He collected while also having the mood to take a look at the World Channel.

After Night Owl killed the two red-named players, they approached Yuena and Ba Ge. They believed that they had concealed the important information that Bai Ran and Night Owl knew each other, which led to their killing and the loss of equipment. Anyway, they were required to compensate, which left the two in a lot of trouble.

Considering that Bai Ran was probably the producer of Scallion Pancake, rich and powerful, and the gold-lettered signboard of Night Owl, Yuena, and Ba Ge finally withdrew the bounty.

This was considered an unexpected pleasure for Ran Qi. After all, he didn’t want to live the kind of life where he was constantly on guard against being attacked.

Even though he was no longer being bountied, Ran Qi still hadn’t taken the cloak of invisibility off. After all, the cloak was really convenient.

The time inside the game and outside the game was synchronized. As the sky darkened, the wilderness turned pitch black. The cold wind brought with it the hissing of monsters, creating an intimidating atmosphere.

Ran Qi glanced at his stamina value. It was about to bottom out, and he decided to return to the city.

Yes. It’s because of the stamina value, not the dark environment.

When he collected items, he would inevitably encounter some monsters. Ran Qi intermittently fought the monsters. At this time, his level unknowingly rose to level 15. He activated his new skill —— Purification. This skill could remove all negative status.

Ran Qi tore open the Return to the City scroll. With a backpack full of materials, he returned to Theron City.

The night in Theron City was stunning, with lights illuminating every corner. NPCs were busy setting up stalls on the central street, selling various items at discounted prices. Players joined in, setting up their own stalls to sell equipment and items they had obtained that day.

They did not need to pay fees for this kind of stall. It was more cost-effective than hanging it out in the Trading Hall. They could also bargain, attracting many players to stop and look. This lively atmosphere made Ran Qi feel nostalgic about his previous life, shopping at the night market.

Ran Qi wandered around a little and found that someone was setting up a stall to sell beginner’s stamina potions at a price that was a little cheaper than the items store. He directly bought all of these potions.

The method of making potions was much simpler than food. There was no need to pursue the flavor. They could just prepare all the materials and follow the NPC’s formula and steps to make it. So, there were a lot of players who had learned pharmacy skills. They could buy some low-level potion formulas from the technician. The item merchants sold these potions, so the players couldn’t make the potions for a higher price than the item store.

After drinking two bottles of stamina potions and replenishing his stamina, Ran Qi went straight to the life skill area and utilized the items in his backpack to start crafting various equipment.

The first thing he made was the expansion backpack. After all, he had promised to give it to Night Owl. It just so happened that there were enough materials, so he made ten in one go.

Then there was an armor. The newbie suits he was wearing had lost all its durability long ago. He should replace it.

Anyway, the boar skin peeled off that Wild Boar King was big enough to completely arm him from head to toe.

[System] Player [Bai Ran] has successfully crafted [Boar Skin Robe], sewing proficiency +0.

[Boar Skin Robe]

Restriction Level: 15 or above

Limited Profession: Priest, Mage

Grade: B

Durability: 100/100

Attributes: Basic Defense+15, Intelligence+6, Constitution+12

Ran Qi’s life skills were at maximum level, so no matter how he crafted, the proficiency would not increase any further. Thanks to the system prompts, only he could see them. Otherwise, other people would surely have noticed that something was wrong.

A player’s sewing level, as well as skill proficiency, determined the attributes of the equipment produced. So, the ‘Boar Skin Robe’ he produced had pretty good attributes and was just right for him to use right now.

Although the name was a bit hard to hear, Ran Qi was still satisfied with this robe. He continued with the crafting.

[System] Player [Bai Ran] has successfully crafted [Boar Skin Hand guard], sewing proficiency +0.

[System] Player [Bai Ran] has successfully crafted [Boar Skin Hat], sewing proficiency +0.

[System] Congratulations on successfully crafting five pieces of the Boar Skin Defense Suit. Do you want to form a set?

“Yes.”

[System] The set combination is successful. A system announcement will be made later. Do you want to be anonymous?

“Yes!”

Ran Qi knew all about smothering and didn’t hesitate to choose to be anonymous again.

[System Announcement] Congratulations to player [Anonymous] for successfully crafting the first set of Defense Suit, earning 100 points of World Reputation, as well as [Physical Exchange Coupon*1].

It had only been a little while, and someone was able to make a set of defense suit?

When the announcement was made, the world channel became lively once more. Numerous people expressed their desire to purchase it at a high price. However, Ran Qi ignored the chat interface and focused solely on his newly acquired suits.

The set equipment would have an unactivated set attribute when it was generated. When the player wore two pieces, the first set attribute would be activated. After the player wore all four pieces, the second set attribute would be activated. If the player wore all six pieces, the set attribute of all the parts would be activated automatically.

[Set Attributes]

(2) Increase max HP by an additional 60 points

(4) Increase basic defense by an additional 80 points

(6) Increase base attack by an additional 20 points

When Ran Qi put on the full set of equipment, his attribute panel suddenly changed drastically. His HP bars were much thicker than the average person.

HP: 310/310

Hidden Attribute: Super Lucky Star

Besides the increase in attributes, the appearance of the suit was also not bad. It was a very bright fiery red color, immediately distinguishing him from the surrounding mixed-match players who were still wearing their novice suits and a piece of mixed-match items.

Fortunately, Ran Qi had a cloak of invisibility that wrapped his entire person tightly. No one could tell that he wore the suits the system had announced before.

There were still many animal furs in his backpack. Ran Qi simply gave these together as well. Unfortunately, these furs were not complete chunks of fur like the Boar King’s skin, only enough to make bits and pieces of loose parts. There was no way to make up a set, but the quality of the ones that were made was quite good. Four blue suits and seven green suits. It should be able to sell for quite a bit of money if he puts it on the Trading Hall.

In addition to the light armor for long-range professions, he had also made a few pieces of heavy armor suitable for melee professions, which only required some extra ores and metals to be added when crafting them.

At this time, Ran Qi suddenly heard the private chat prompt. For his peace, he blocked all the private chats with strangers. The one who could send him a private message was the people on his friend list.

[Private Chat] Night Owl: Challenge Dungeon of Shadow Forest, lacking a priest. Are you coming?

[Private Chat] Bai Ran: Coming! Can you wait for me for a bit? I’m going to clear my backpack.

[Private Chat] Night Owl: Okay. Join the team first.

[Private Chat] Bai Ran: Okay!

Soon, Night Owl sent a team invitation. Ran Qi agreed and entered the team. There were already four people in the team, five with Ran Qi, and one empty position.

As the captain, Night Owl was already level 21. There were also two level 19 archers, Soul Chaser and Plume Ink, and a level 18 assassin, Sword at Fleeting Time. The team’s configuration looked rich.

“Level 15 priest? Can it work ah?” Soul Chaser couldn’t help but ask after seeing Ran Qi enter the team, and his tone was full of doubt.

The Challenge Dungeon was considered having a very high difficulty for players who had just reached level 15. The difficulty of the Challenge Dungeon was very high and the priest was very important to the team. It could be said that it directly determined the fate of the team. The higher the level of the priest, the better the effect of healing, so Soul Chaser felt that they should look for a priest with a higher level.

“He’s fine.” Night Owl said, and no one in the team voiced any more question as he had a lot of authority among these people.

“Then, we only lack a warrior to carry monsters. Jiang Nan has something to do now so he can’t come.” Soul Chaser continued. The warrior innately occupied the advantage of thick HP and high defense. It also came with the provoking skill to carry monsters. As long as the warrior was powerful, they could attack at full power without worrying about other problems.

“Or else we shout at the world channel?” Sword at Fleeting Time asked.

“Don’t. Who knows if it’s reliable or not? It’s best to call someone you know.” Plume Ink hastily stopped.

“Do any of you have any warriors you know? Level 15 or above with not-too-bad equipment will do. Don’t waste today’s challenge dungeon CD.”

At this moment, many people’s levels had been raised, but their equipment had not been able to keep up. The difficulty of the challenge dungeon was relatively high. If the warrior had bad equipment, then the warrior could not carry the monsters.

Ran Qi’s heart stirred when he heard this. He hurriedly opened his friend list and saw that Gu Le was still online. He was already level 16, so he immediately poked him frantically.

[Private Chat] Bai Ran: Gu Xiaole! Challenge dungeon, go or not?! 5, -1

[Private Chat] Coke: Wow, Ran Xiaoqi, you’re already level 15 ah? You’re quite fast ah!

[Private Chat] Bai Ran: No more nonsense. Go or not? The first in the ranking list is leading the team!

[Private Chat] Coke: ⊙▽⊙. Crap. Is it Big Brother Night Owl? Ran Qi, you’re out of your league! You actually hooked up with a big brother while I wasn’t looking!

[Private Chat] Bai Ran: Bah. What’s with your choice of word ah! Are you coming or not?

[Private Chat] Coke: Come, come, come, right away! But I have to go to the Trading Hall to buy some equipment first. I’m still wearing my novice suits…

[Private Chat] Bai Ran: Don’t go. I have it here. Wait for me to talk to the captain.

It happened that he had just made a few pieces of heavy armor. Although all of them were green except for a blue wrist guard, the attributes were all passable and it was just right to give them to Gu Le.

“I have a friend who is a level 16 warrior and his equipment is all green or above. Can I let him into the team?” Receiving Gu Le’s affirmative answer, Ran Qi hurriedly asked in the team channel.

Night Owl quickly replied, “Yes. Let him come in and try.”

“Okay.”

[Private Chat] Bai Ran: Alright, join the team.

[Private Chat] Coke: Really? Very good! Ran Xiaoqi, I love you =33333=

[Private Chat] Bai Ran: Stop being talkative. Hurry up to join the team.

“When everyone is ready, meet at the entrance of the dungeon.” Night Owl said.

After Gu Le joined the team and saw the big shots in the team, he immediately excitedly poked Ran Qi and sent out a series of exclamations as if becoming a screaming chicken, but was completely afraid to say anything in the team.

Ran Qi didn’t care about him and quickly rushed to the forging area, using the Boar King’s teeth along with iron ore and the Blood Essence Stone that could increase the healing attribute to create a staff.

[System] Player [Bai Ran] has successfully crafted [Wisdom Staff], sewing proficiency +0.

[Wisdom Staff]

Restriction Level: 15 or above

Limited Profession: Priest, Mage

Grade: B

Durability: 100/100

Attribute: Base Attack Power +15, Healing Effectiveness +20, Intelligence +16

Ran Qi was very happy with the new staff and was thankful that the system didn’t name the staff something like the Boar Tooth Staff…

[System] Congratulations to the player for entering the top ten of the equipment list. The title [Indestructible] can be used during the period of being on the list. Do you want to be anonymous?

The new suits and staff directly stacked Ran Qi’s equipment score to 3500+, leaping into the top ten of the equipment rankings. This time, he chose to remain anonymous as well.

Then, Ran Qi went to make some Scallion Pancakes and Red and Blue Potions to bring to his body. The Challenge Dungeon was still a bit difficult, and more preparation was always right.
