[Draw Sword] (Unique Skill, Lv10)
[Grade: F-grade] (Upgradeable)
[Skill Effect: When drawing the sword, release a sword shadow, dealing (100% attack power + 85) true damage to a single enemy within attack range, ignoring defense.]
[Cooldown: 60 seconds]
[Skill Cost: 34]
[Proficiency: 0/100] (Each use of the Draw Sword skill automatically grants 1 proficiency point. Once full, it can be upgraded to E-grade.)
Looking at the skill effect, Lu Ming murmured, "With comprehensive amplification, it means I can unleash true damage with 20 times the attack power!"
No wonder it's a unique skill!
With this Draw Sword skill, Lu Ming was destined to no longer be the Trickster that people mocked, who could only strengthen teammates but had no offensive power himself, and became useless once separated from them!
He would show the world that a Trickster can also deal damage and kill invisibly!
Besides this skill, Lu Ming also gained other significant rewards from this dungeon.
However, since he entered the dungeon with his alternate account [Dawn], all the dungeon rewards were sent to that account.
So, Lu Ming opened the account panel and switched accounts.
In an instant, Lu Ming was still Lu Ming, but [Nether] became [Dawn]!
As soon as he logged into the [Dawn] account, the system's pleasant notification sounded in his ear.
[Ding~ Congratulations on clearing the Scarlet Zone dungeon at Purgatory difficulty, rewards: Experience Points +100,000, Gold +10, Lv10 Bronze Equipment Box +5, E-grade Skill Scroll +3!]
"Purgatory difficulty, such generous rewards?"
Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
Because just 10 gold coins were already worth 200,000 RMB at market price!
Five pieces of level 10 Bronze Equipment, with a total market value of about 50,000!
Three E-grade Skill Scrolls, valued at 70,000-80,000!
This dungeon alone brought Lu Ming a total profit of over 300,000 RMB!!!
Just one dungeon earned him more money than Lu Ming had made in two or three years in his previous life!
At this moment, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel grateful, "Ye Ling'er, I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you, how could I have had the chance to return to level 10, enter this dungeon, and get these things!"
A mere level 8-10 novice dungeon could bring Lu Ming such terrifying returns.
One can only imagine how much money he could make when he levels up and tackles higher-level dungeons in the future!
In this life, with this ten-star account in hand, Lu Ming was filled with hope and anticipation for the future.
"The future is indeed promising!"
Lu Ming began to handle these items.
He sent everything through mail to his main account.
Then switched to his main account, Nether, to receive the mail.
"Level 10 Bronze Equipment is good, but with my current leveling speed, it will be obsolete in at most two days."
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"Moreover, the main output of the Undead Legion now comes from my formation bonuses, so the demand for equipment isn't high. Selling these five boxes is more cost-effective."
On the market, a piece of level 10 Bronze Equipment is priced at 8,000-10,000.
But if it's an unopened Bronze Equipment Box, the price can increase by about 20%!
Because the equipment box can provide equipment corresponding to the opener's profession.
Compared to equipment with fixed professions, it has a broader audience.
So, at a unit price of 12,000, Lu Ming listed all five equipment boxes on the trading market.
He also listed a few pieces of Black Iron Moon Demon gear dropped by Ye Chen and others, at a unit price of 2,000-3,000.
Because they were useless for a Trickster.
As for the gold coins, Lu Ming only listed 5, with a total price of 100,000.
The remaining 5 gold coins needed to be kept.
Because soon he would enter the second layer of Sky Abyss, where there was a black market, and the gold coins would be useful there.
Finally, Lu Ming opened all three E-grade Skill Scrolls.
These items, which perfectly matched his comprehensive amplification talent and could maximize his own strength, would not be sold no matter how valuable they were.
He acquired Trickster skills: E-grade Ground Lock, E-grade War Tread, E-grade Revival of All Things.
The effect of Ground Lock is to weaken the armor of all enemies within range.
Revival of All Things increases the health recovery effect of all allies within range.
Both skills are good, but for now, Lu Ming has no extra skill slots.
He could only temporarily store these two skills in his backpack.
He replaced the original F-grade War Tread with the E-grade one.
This increased the base amplification effect of War Tread from 10% attack power + 50 to 20% attack power + 50!
For Lu Ming, who had a Lv2 comprehensive amplification talent that increased all skills by 20 times, this meant an increase of 400% attack power + 1000!
"Within the formation range of my War Tread, even an ant could kill an elephant!"
Meanwhile, the experience points of both accounts were shared.
As the alternate account gained experience, the main account also received the dungeon reward of 100,000 experience points.
At this moment, Lu Ming's experience had already exceeded three times the amount needed for the current level-up, reaching the maximum experience accumulation limit.
There was no need to suppress his level anymore.
So, Lu Ming manually clicked to level up twice.
Wow!
Wow!
Two beams of golden light fell in succession.
[Ding~ Congratulations on leveling up to level 11...]
[Ding~ Congratulations on leveling up to level 12, five-dimensional attributes +1, Mana Points +15, Health Points +25, free attribute points +3, next level requires 100,000 experience points!]
"As long as a player's level exceeds 10, they can leave the first layer and enter the second layer."
Lu Ming checked the time and found it was already 9 PM.
"Has it only been a day..."
In just one day, he had reached level 12.
He remembered that in his previous life, Lu Ming had been online for 18 hours a day, grinding desperately for almost half a month to barely reach this level.
It proved that no matter how hard you work, it's not as useful as having strong talent.
The leveling speed was already fast enough, there was no need to grind as hard as in the previous life.
"Log off, have a late-night snack, grab some skewers, take a bath, and sleep comfortably. I'll enter the second layer tomorrow!"
With that thought, Lu Ming walked to the entrance of Moonfall Town and suddenly turned around to see someone following him!
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Lin Youwei!
He didn't know how long she had been following him.
She just followed silently, without saying a word.
When Lu Ming stopped, she stopped too.
Her hands fiddled with the hem of her clothes, looking a bit helpless.
Lu Ming said, "Ye Chen is dead."
"Don't follow me anymore, and you don't need to repay the 5,000 yuan."
At this moment, Lin Youwei seemed to muster the courage to catch up.
She lowered her head, not daring to meet Lu Ming's gaze, visibly nervous.
She whispered, "Can you... can you take me with you?"
Lu Ming glanced at Lin Youwei.
For a moment, he seemed to see the shadow of Ye Ling'er in Lin Youwei!
He remembered when he first met Ye Ling'er, her family was impoverished, and as a weak girl, Ye Ling'er didn't have outstanding gaming skills and was bullied everywhere in the Sky Abyss world.
Until Lu Ming stepped forward and saved her from the dire situation.
Lu Ming saw through it all; Lin Youwei was just approaching him because she saw how powerful he was.
He said indifferently, "I've seen many women like you."
Lin Youwei felt a bit wronged, "My brother is dead, I have no family left, and I've been kicked out by the landlord. I don't have a penny on me, I... I have nowhere to go..."
Lu Ming replied coldly, "What does that have to do with me?"
A girl's sense of shame made Lin Youwei's face turn bright red.
But she had no choice. To be accepted by Lu Ming, she could only bite her lip and continue to sell herself to him, "I can do laundry, cook, clean! I can do anything!"
"Not needed."
Lu Ming casually replied and logged off at Moonfall Town.
Lin Youwei stood there, stunned, her small hands almost tearing the hem of her clothes.
At that moment, she felt wronged, confused, and utterly helpless.
Thinking back to the only person in this world who had been good to her, her brother, who was now gone, she couldn't help but squat down and cry her heart out...
Lu Ming had just logged off when he received a notification of a transaction.
Only then did he realize that the Bronze Equipment Boxes and gold coins he had just listed for sale a few dozen minutes ago had all been sold!
"It seems that level 10 Bronze Equipment is indeed in high demand!"
After deducting a 5% platform fee, he earned 152,000 yuan!
Adding the 40,000 he earned from the Slayer dungeon before.
At this moment, Lu Ming's bank account already had nearly 200,000 yuan!
In his previous life, Lu Ming had never seen so much money!
So, he allowed himself to be excited and thrilled at this moment!
"This immense wealth has finally come to me!"
So, Lu Ming left the internet cafe and went to a nearby large shopping mall overnight. He made a big purchase at the Apple store, buying a laptop worth over 30,000 yuan!
No bargaining!
He entered the store, swiped his card, and completed the process in half a minute!
Even the young lady at the store couldn't wait to add Lu Ming on WeChat.
This feeling could only be described with one word.
"Awesome!"
"Having money is awesome!"
After returning home, Lu Ming immediately installed the [Sky Abyss] game.
This way, he would no longer have to go to the internet cafe every day; he could play Sky Abyss at home!
Then he went to the night market food street downstairs.
In the past, Lu Ming never went out to spend money at night.
Not because he didn't want to, but because he knew that a casual meal would cost several hundred yuan, which was too wasteful!
He had to save money to buy a house and marry Ye Ling'er.
Even if he did eat, he would only order a couple of small skewers, one for him and one for Ye Ling'er.
But now.
Beef skewers, lamb skewers, crayfish, bring them all!
And a few bottles of Wusu beer.
Awesome!
So, while eating barbecue, Lu Ming started planning his next steps.
Ye Chen was just a minor character.
Lu Ming's real enemies were Ye Ling'er and the person behind her!
But he did manage to extract some useful information from Ye Chen.
Lu Ming picked up his phone and searched on Baidu for information about the [God Slayer] team.
What he saw was shocking!
