[Final settlement is about to take place]

A familiar white flash passed, and Lu Wenwu appeared alone in the settlement room for the first time.
Mao Mao was still frolicking on Lingtian Mountain.
Lu Wenwu simply chose not to call it out.

[Settlement in progress]
[You have cleared the dungeon - Return to the Peak]
[Number of surviving players: 18]
[Dungeon Evaluation: Miracle]
[Dungeon Summary: Just as described in the evaluation, amidst various coincidences, you have created a miracle that belongs exclusively to you. Return to the peak? No, you have created a new peak.]

Lu Wenwu was greatly surprised and carefully looked at the settlement panel.
Is [Miracle] the tier above [Incredible]?
He wondered what the fixed trigger condition for this evaluation was.

[Advanced Trial Passed]
[Your level has increased to Level 16]
[You obtained [Mysterious Lucky Bag] × 2]
[You obtained [20x Accelerated Cultivation Card] × 10]
[You obtained 302,000 Spirit Coins]
[You obtained 60 Free Attribute Points]

[Detected that you have cultivated the special cultivation technique "Convincing People with Virtue Body Refining Art", cultivation technique reward target changed]
[You obtained the cultivation technique: Heavenly Dog Devours the Moon Art (Foundation)]
—
[Congratulations, your player tier has been upgraded to: C]
[Congratulations, your rest duration has been increased, current duration: 2 natural months]

"Heavenly Dog Devours the Moon... It turns out to be a demonic cultivation technique exclusively for pets..."
"Counting the over 800,000 earned from selling egg pancakes, the Spirit Coin income alone this time reaches over 1,100,000, which can be considered a fat harvest. Disregarding skill proficiency, this could even double my stats."
"What a pity, a few days in the middle were delayed by something. If only I could have sold more pancakes."
"Such an easy dungeon to farm Spirit Coins in, I wonder if I'll ever encounter another one like it in the future."
"Speaking of which, compared to the fivefold stat increase from the last dungeon, I seem to have grown a bit lazy this time..."

White light flickered.
Lu Wenwu, who had not the slightest self-awareness of how outrageous his gains actually were, returned to the home he had been away from for three months.
For Xiaobao, who was lying flat on the sofa looking displeased, it had been a little over nine days.
"Meow meow meow! Meow meow meow!"
Xiaobao strutted on cat paws to Lu Wenwu's side, looked around left and right, and seeing that its little underling was nowhere to be found, immediately started meowing angrily at its human servant.
Only then did Lu Wenwu react.
With a thought, Mao Mao in Lingtian Mountain appeared in the living room.
Xiaobao leisurely poked its head forward, its little nose sniffing continuously.
What responded to it was Mao Mao's warm, wet, big tongue.
"Meow!"
The meow-meow fists returned to the arena, and the cat and dog instantly descended into chaos.
Lu Wenwu ignored those two troublemakers and took out the mysterious lucky bags of his own accord, preparing to draw prizes.
Golden light surged; at this point, his heart no longer stirred at all.
This thing really only had this single special effect.

[You obtained: Random Skill Realm Advancement Card × 2]
Another realm advancement card?
Lu Wenwu scratched his head, directly skipped it, and saved it to use right before entering the next dungeon.
[You obtained: Epic Equipment Advancement Card × 2]
Hmm?
Lu Wenwu's spirits perked up, and he immediately chose to inspect it.
[Name: Epic Equipment Advancement Card]
[Type: Prop]
[Description: Upon use, can upgrade a piece of equipment whose potential is not yet exhausted to the [Epic] grade]
Good stuff!
Just as he was dozing off, someone brought a pillow.
He was just worrying that his equipment levels were falling behind a bit!

Lu Wenwu put it away properly and continued opening boxes with great enthusiasm.
[You obtained: Guardian Armor · Chaotic Neutral [Epic]]
Golden light surged, and a ferocious-looking pitch-black armor appeared before his eyes.
Looking at the hard ramming horns and sharp barbs upon it, Lu Wenwu found it hard to associate this thing with the word "guardian".
[Name: Guardian Armor · Chaotic Neutral]
[Quality: Epic]
[Type: Armor]
[Attack Power: Lethal]
[Defense Power: Chasm]
[Guardian Barrier: Consumes energy to activate, fusing the Guardian Armor · Chaotic Neutral with oneself. Within ten seconds, the user's own defense power is briefly elevated to the [Indestructible] grade]
[Chaotic Demonic Seed: Every attack will stack one layer of [Bleeding] effect on the target. Before the [Bleeding] effect disappears, the effectiveness of all recovery methods is reduced by 30% to 50%]
[Action of Force: Comes with a 25% to 35% damage reflection effect when defending]
[Illusion: The Guardian Armor can transform into other forms of clothing when out of combat]
[Description: The renowned Guardian series armor; every design has been thoroughly tempered in high-intensity battlefields. However, compared to its other relatives, Chaotic Neutral is clearly better suited for offense rather than defense]
[Note 1: The cooldown of Guardian Barrier is as long as 12 hours, please use with caution]
[Note 2: The bleeding effect will cause the target's health to continuously drain under specific circumstances. The specific effect varies depending on the situation, with no forced health loss]

Lu Wenwu: "......"
I now suspect that the system can read minds.
Really, you have to believe me, I am truly not a luck-carried fraud.
Although this thing looks as if it were custom-built for me, I really didn't use any cheats!
"It's all the system's arrangement, I didn't want this..."
The duplicitous Lu Wenwu decisively swapped out his battle armor, transforming the ferocious-looking Guardian Armor · Chaotic Neutral into a set of casual home wear and putting it on.
Quite comfortable, not bad.
Lu Wenwu changed his posture and casually opened the last two mysterious lucky bags together.
[You obtained temporary buff card: Yun's Great Rage]
"???"
What the heck?
Is this the "Yun's Great Rage" from "Yun flies into a great rage, and with a single clash, stabs the enemy off their horse"?
Lu Wenwu, who had originally been lying down, sat right back up and looked with newfound respect at the item he had just opened.
Looking at his newly acquired reward, the theme song of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" seemed to already be playing in his ears.
"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward~ waves wash away the heroes......"
