Yi Qingfeng tried tapping the chest-shaped icon floating in the empty air before him.
The next moment, a backpack grid filled with a sense of déjà vu appeared before his eyes.
It was a backpack space made up of a 5×5 grid of small squares, with the number 100 displayed at the very top.
To anyone who had ever played an RPG, this was hardly unfamiliar.
And at this moment, one slot in the backpack space was occupied.
As Yi Qingfeng’s gaze touched it, the image of a two-handed warhammer appeared before his eyes:
It was an object that seemed to have been forged from some kind of metal.
A brass-colored coating covered its surface.
To be honest, it was hard to associate it with goblins.
In any case, though it was plain equipment,
it was still, after all, a drop from a Zongwang dungeon.
Yi Qingfeng reckoned it ought to be stronger than the axe he had bought from the county hardware store?
After thinking for a moment, Yi Qingfeng picked up a cup from the table.
He tried putting it into the item backpack.
Originally, he had planned to lift it up and touch it to the image of the item backpack displayed in the void.
But in the instant his thoughts stirred, Yi Qingfeng discovered that the cup in his hand had already vanished.
And in the grid of the item backpack before his eyes, an image of a teacup had appeared.
That convenient?
Afterward, Yi Qingfeng tried it a few more times.
The miraculous nature of the item backpack naturally went without saying.
It was just that the shocks he had received today had already exceeded the limit.
For now, his threshold in this regard had been temporarily raised.
And with the successful completion of the trial dungeon, his daily dungeon was now fully unlocked as well.
Only, no new dungeon appeared.
It looked like he would have to wait until tomorrow?
He just didn’t know whether that meant twenty-four hours, or simply midnight tomorrow.
Yi Qingfeng did not dwell on the principles behind how it operated.
Perhaps under the impact of the boundless, fantastical settings in all kinds of novels that had exhausted the imagination of an entire generation in the modern era, he seemed to accept these changes quite easily.
Aside from the item backpack, there were also some new things:
“Treasure-Hunting Talent Star Cluster?”
Because he had repeatedly read through the Zongwang notification earlier, Yi Qingfeng keenly grasped the importance of this element.
He still did not understand what the description and concept of the Zongwang version meant.
But if he crudely substituted it into the background of some game,
then this was most likely an important setting on the level of a “main expansion.”
Thus, after finishing his study of the item backpack that interested him the most, he directly shifted his gaze over to this.
And as he switched to it in the void,
the next moment, a grand illusion like a dim universe abruptly appeared before Yi Qingfeng’s eyes!
At this moment, within this dim universe, there was only a single galaxy.
All other regions were shrouded in a hazy chaos...
Yi Qingfeng looked at the sole galaxy in that chaotic universe.
The next moment, new notification information appeared on his retina:
“
Treasure-Hunting Talent Star Chart—Monster Hunter (Not Activated):
Cornerstone Talent:
Effective Range: All dungeons except team dungeons and certain special restricted dungeons
Talent Effect:
In dungeons opened by you, the base number of non-elite units increases by 50%, with a small chance to spawn rare elites. (0/10)
Star Cluster Talent (Activation requirement not met: Cornerstone Talent)
Star Cluster Sub-Star Chart (Not obtained; currently obtainable: Elite Hunter)
Remaining allocatable talent points: 1
Current number of talent star charts that can be activated: 1
”
Looking at the relevant information displayed on his retina, Yi Qingfeng paused slightly.
He seemed to understand a little.
As a deeply seasoned hardcore veteran of loot-grinding games, this familiar-looking description was naturally not foreign to him.
In many loot-grinding games, there were all kinds of talents that could enhance map returns.
From that, treasure-hunting strategies suited to all sorts of builds could be derived.
It could be said that, aside from the core element of grinding, this was also one of the major pleasures of loot-grinding games.
So, the Zongwang was actually a loot-grinding game with supernatural power?
Yi Qingfeng thought contemplatively.
Of course, no matter what packaging it came in,
to Yi Qingfeng, its arrival had granted him true supernatural power.
As for what it was truly like on the inside?
Frivolous, solemn, bloody, joyous?
None of that mattered right now.
Just as if he obtained a Sunflower Manual confirmed to be real and effective, Yi Qingfeng would not hesitate in the slightest.
Peeling away the ordinary skin of these decades that had already become mediocre, what was revealed within was a ferocious blood-red that was anything but mild...
Of course, the tact that reality had taught Yi Qingfeng would make him choose a hospital rather than a small knife, that was all...
…………
…………
Because right now, there were no other choices.
Yi Qingfeng directly invested the only treasure-hunting talent point he currently had into the cornerstone talent of Monster Hunter.
And as Yi Qingfeng operated in the void, new notification information refreshed on his retina:
“Zongwang Notification: You have activated the Treasure-Hunting Star Chart—Monster Hunter!”
“Zongwang Notification: The number of treasure-hunting star charts you can currently activate has reached the upper limit. For the time being, you cannot obtain new treasure-hunting talent groups from clearing dungeons; instead, this will be converted into an additional +1 treasure-hunting talent point.”
Temporarily unable to obtain new treasure-hunting talent groups?
Yi Qingfeng thought about it. According to the Zongwang notifications he had learned of earlier,
when he raised his class level to Level 2, he would be able to obtain a new upper limit for treasure-hunting star charts.
And under the current circumstances, where he was extremely lacking in treasure-hunting talent points, an extra +1 treasure-hunting talent point might be more profitable.
Of course, he also did not consider too much whether such an enhancement would cause the dungeon’s challenge difficulty to exceed the expected scope.
Under the current situation where he could only attempt one dungeon challenge per day,
Yi Qingfeng felt that even if he died in battle inside, it would only be a matter of his soul being weakened for a day.
In theory, if he timed it right, it would not even affect the next day’s dungeon challenge.
Moreover, Yi Qingfeng also discovered that the treasure-hunting talents he had already invested in could be reset.
However, doing so required consuming a resource called “Zongwang Calamity Coins.”
Zongwang Calamity Coins?
Yi Qingfeng quickly thought of the number displayed above the item backpack.
The next moment, he directly opened the item backpack.
Then, as his finger touched it,
he soon saw the detailed display regarding that number:
“Zongwang Calamity Coins: 100.”
At present, resetting one talent point only required consuming 100 Zongwang Calamity Coins.
Looking at it this way, it should be enough?
And with the addition of 1 point into the cornerstone talent,
Yi Qingfeng was finally able to see the star-chart talents that were like a sea of stars...
They revolved around the cornerstone talent at the core.
Like clusters of stars guarding a fixed star.
At present, he could only view the star-chart talents closest to the cornerstone talent:
“
Grand Slaughter (0/5):
The number of non-elite units in your dungeons receives an additional increase (100%–500%).
Rare Hunter (0/5):
There is a chance (30%/50%/70%/90%/guaranteed) that one rare elite will appear in your dungeon. Rare elites possess higher drop rarity and a unique drop prize pool.
Fearless Challenge (0/5):
There is a chance (30%/50%/70%/90%/guaranteed) that a new intruding boss will appear in your dungeon.
Please note: The newly added boss has a chance of bringing new monster packs and combat environments!
”
Taking his class characteristics as reference,
Yi Qingfeng vaguely began to have some ideas...
Almost forgot—please spare some monthly tickets!
