Chapter 5: Winning Rewards Through Virtue

Page 1/3

[Congratulations to Shenzhou trainee player HX420207001 for completing the hidden mission—An Unbelievable Kill]
[Shenzhou trainee player HX420207001 has completed the initial dungeon; dungeon rating: Unbelievable]
[Rating Reward: For this session, Shenzhou will waive all penalties resulting from trainee players failing mainline missions. Keep up the good work.]
[Hidden Mission Completion Reward: The qualification for next month’s trainee player selection will be determined solely by Shenzhou.]
[First Kill Reward for Initial Dungeon Hidden Mission: 5% of polluted areas within Shenzhou’s territory randomly disappear.]

The livestream in Lu Wenwu’s room fell completely silent, only he and Maomao remained, their backs turned toward the ruined building, frozen in the final scene of the dungeon.

This was the conclusive settlement screen for the dungeon.

Soon after, countless question marks flooded the chat.

[???????]
[I’m stunned, croak!]
[¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿]
[I’m quitting! There’s something dirty here!]
[That’s it? Just dead?????]
[There’s even an [Unbelievable] rating level?]
[WTF! The building collapsed! This guy literally blew the building to rubble!]
[Brother Guanbing is awesome!]
[Hidden mission completed!]
[No way, this is ridiculous. Such a huge building could be blasted down with just a liquefied gas tank and a few other things? And the BOSS died too? What kind of freak luck is this!]
[And this guy? Call him big brother!]
[Big brother? Blood brother!]
[Blood brother? Godfather! Even if everyone else dies this time, no new polluted zones will spawn, and 5% of the polluted zones have been removed! If Brother Guanbing doesn’t quit, I’m willing to accept him as my godfather!]
[Holy crap, the polluted zone near our city is really gone!]
[This building must have been a shoddy construction! It could collapse like that!]
[Don’t ask, just say it was hacked.]
[Small hacks don’t count.]
[Just because it’s not closed doesn’t mean it’s hacked? I’m just in a hurry to go back and sell pancakes, doing a hidden mission on the side—what’s wrong with that?]

…

For a moment, the entire nation of Shenzhou celebrated.

No matter how the trainee players performed this time, no new polluted zones would merge in. This was absolutely great news.

It genuinely saved countless lives and finally allowed the anxious viewers to breathe easy again.

Next time, being able to choose trainee players at will meant there was no worry about useless dead weight randomly entering and becoming a burden.

Moreover, with 5% of the polluted zones disappearing, the defensive pressure on the supernaturals and the military was greatly eased, and the safe zone expanded overall.

Sometimes, it’s just one last straw that breaks the camel’s back.

This relief in pressure was enough for Shenzhou, teetering on the brink, to finally take a deep breath.

[You have received a special reward: Mysterious Lucky Bag]
[Your final rating has been greatly improved]

At the moment the giant zombie died, Lu Wenwu received the mission completion prompt. He and Maomao instantly returned to the small white house where they first entered.

[Congratulations, initial dungeon cleared, you have obtained [Player] status]
[Dungeon rating: Unbelievable]

Lu Wenwu stroked his chin, thinking briefly.

“Grandpa’s pride, what can you do about it?”
[This nickname is already taken]
“Night Raid Widow Village”
[This nickname is already taken]
“Your Father Before Death”
[This nickname is already taken]

Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow.

Sure enough, even in this dungeon world with a high death rate, there were jokesters like him.

In that case, there was only one move left!

“Invincible Tyranno War God”

[Your ID has been confirmed: Invincible Tyranno War God]

Good. If that hadn’t worked, the next choice would have been “Supreme Demon Dragon Sovereign.”

Maybe a bit childish for elementary school students, but just right for a recent college graduate.

As the system panel disappeared slowly after the ID creation was complete, Lu Wenwu still felt a bit of regret.

Why didn’t it let me choose my gender?

He had been debating for a long time whether to pick “Armed Helicopter” or “Walmart Shopping Bag.”

Too bad it didn’t allow it.

Let’s open the rewards instead.

The system had given two mysterious lucky bags, though Lu Wenwu wasn’t sure just how mysterious they were.

[Mysterious Lucky Bag: Randomly grants an unknown quality and unknown type of reward]

Lu Wenwu eagerly took one out from his backpack and decisively opened it.

In an instant, golden light burst forth, and a radiant point floated out from the bag, directly merging into Lu Wenwu’s forehead.

[You have gained the talent: Nemesis of Evil]
[Nemesis of Evil: You can gain free attribute points by personally killing contaminated creatures.]
[Note: Killing the same-level enemy personally grants 0.1 attribute points. For each minor level the enemy is below you, rewards decrease tenfold; for each minor level above you, rewards increase tenfold. If the enemy is two major levels below you, you will not gain any free attribute points.]

“Personally kill… Since it emphasizes ‘personally,’ does that mean my previous trick to kill the giant zombie might not count?” Lu Wenwu pondered. “I wonder if ranged weapons count.”

But that made sense.

If kills didn’t have to be personal, then next time entering the dungeon world, one could just unleash heavy military firepower and farm attribute points easily.

Who would care about main missions then? Just grind attribute points and barely pass to get out, no big deal.

“Man, my luck today is really solid!”

Lu Wenwu’s mood lifted as he took out the second lucky bag and opened it.

The familiar golden light burst forth once again.

This time, what appeared in Lu Wenwu’s hands was a book carved entirely from flawless jade.

“No way, double singles draw double gold? The true ‘dog luck’ is myself!”

Lu Wenwu looked at the jade book in his hands, growing more excited.

[Name: Virtue-Conquering Physical Cultivation Technique]
[Quality: None]
[Type: Cultivation Method]
[Description: This method has no level limit, cannot be upgraded through spirit coins or other means to increase its level, and does not grant additional attribute points upon leveling.]
