Chapter 71: All Silver and Above
On the other side, Wu Shaochen scratched his head, looking at the unfamiliar place in front of him. After using a random teleportation scroll, he was teleported here, not knowing where this place was. He opened the map, and where he was now was completely dark. After zooming out the map several times, he could finally see Jinling City. Estimating the distance, he figured that this place was over several hundred kilometers away.
“Is this scroll so powerful? It directly teleported me several hundred kilometers away? Thankfully, I bought a lot of return scrolls earlier, or I’d probably have to run all the way back!” Wu Shaochen muttered to himself.
In the situation earlier, he could only use the teleportation scroll. The attacks from those people exceeded a thousand, which were enough to break his defenses. It seemed he needed to look for more survival skills.
“Fortunately, I got something nice!” Wu Shaochen smiled as he looked at the Linyi Necklace he was wearing.
[Linyi Necklace] Golden-tier: Physical attack +200, Crit rate +15%, Luck +8, Additional Attributes: Strength +25, Agility +25, Vitality +25. Additional skill: Blink: Teleports to a designated location, max distance 20 meters, cooldown 5 minutes. Wearer requirements: Physical class.
If he hadn’t gotten this necklace earlier, he wouldn’t have been able to kill that fool from World’s End. Looking at the two pieces of equipment that dropped from World’s End, Wu Shaochen’s mouth twitched. “Looks like my bad luck sometimes actually works,” he thought. He had just mentioned before about how if World’s End bought the Tiger Head Helmet from the auction house, it might drop again, and it actually happened.
“God of Wealth!” Wu Shaochen exclaimed, then his eyes lit up as he saw another silver-tier equipment. It was a Silver Ring. Previously, he only had a Bronze Tiger Head Ring, and now this was an upgrade. World’s End was truly a gem, giving him this.
[Blue Pattern Ring] Silver-tier: Health +600, Physical attack +160, Cooldown reduction +5%, Additional Attributes: Strength +17, Constitution +18, Agility +17. Wearer requirements: Physical class.
He equipped the ring, replacing the Tiger Head Ring, which didn’t provide a big boost because both items were accessories and boosted attack. For Wu Shaochen, the increase was not significant. Besides, now that he was level 23, he couldn’t trigger the Immortal Body effect by fighting 20-level monsters, so the increase in attributes was only slightly noticeable.
Stats:
He had also received five pieces of silver equipment from this dungeon. The three dungeon bosses were almost guaranteed to drop silver-tier gear, and the Linyi Guardian dropped two more. However, none of them were useful to him.
After checking his bag again, Wu Shaochen noticed that only one silver treasure chest remained. He rubbed his hands. Although it was just a silver chest, there was still a chance for golden gear, although it was low. But since he had opened a golden chest and gotten dark gold equipment, he believed he might get lucky. He clicked to open the chest.
“Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained the skill Chisel Strike.”
“Hey, a skill? Now this is good!” Wu Shaochen was surprised. Items from treasure chests usually matched the user’s profession. Since he was an assassin, this skill was perfect.
[Chisel Strike]: Consumes 50 magic points, deals 150% physical damage to the target, and stuns them for 2 seconds. Cooldown: 30 seconds. Required Profession: Assassin.
A stunning skill! He was thrilled. The more skills, the better. He quickly learned it.
After learning the skill, Wu Shaochen checked his bag again. He had 6 silver, 9 bronze, and 16 black iron equipment, including items dropped from skeleton shield guards and skeleton assassins. He hadn’t bothered to clear his inventory before, so he decided to handle it now. He put the equipment on the auction house and set the black iron gear at 5,000 each, earning 72,000. He priced the bronze gear at 80,000 each, totaling 648,000. The remaining 6 silver items included two for mages, so he decided to keep them for his sister. She should be leaving her starting village soon. The other four silver items were placed for bidding for 30 minutes.
After dealing with all that, Wu Shaochen took a look around. This place seemed to be a valley, and the scenery was quite beautiful.
“Since I’m here, might as well take a stroll,” he thought, and began walking into the valley. He didn’t encounter any monsters on the way, which was eerily quiet. After a long walk, he reached the end of the valley. There, at the bottom of the cliff, was a pond. The water in the pond wasn’t clear; it had a milky color, with faint steam rising from it.
“A hot spring?” Wu Shaochen blinked in surprise. He couldn’t believe there was a hot spring in the game.
He slowly approached the pond. Just as he was about to test the water temperature, he suddenly noticed a dark shape at the bottom of the pond. Because the water was milky, the dark shape was quite noticeable. Curiosity sparked within him, and he almost cast Insight but realized the distance was too far.
“Should I get in the water?” Wu Shaochen thought. The shape seemed humanoid. If it was a living creature, it could be dangerous, but if it wasn’t, it might be some treasure.
Curiosity overwhelmed him, and after a moment’s hesitation, he gritted his teeth. “Damn it, worst case I’ll die and lose a level. I won’t die for real.” He stepped into the water, slowly diving toward the shape below.
Ding! “You have absorbed the diluted life spring water. Health +1.”
Ding! “You have absorbed the diluted life spring water. Health +1.”
Ding! “You have absorbed the diluted life spring water. Health +1.”
Wu Shaochen was stunned. Just soaking in the water gave him health points? What kind of life spring was this?
As he soaked, the system notifications kept coming, and his health increased by 1 point every second. It felt incredibly refreshing, and Wu Shaochen almost forgot the purpose of coming here.
Just as he was enjoying the sensation, he suddenly felt something approaching from below. He quickly looked down and saw a figure rapidly moving upward toward him. His eyes widened, and he used Blink to teleport out of the water, not wanting to fight in the pond. However, to his shock, the figure followed him out, and before Wu Shaochen could react, the figure kicked him to the ground.

“Tell me, how did you find this place?” a cold voice rang in Wu Shaochen’s ears.
