Chapter 35 Dungeon Settlement
[Ding! The "A Magnificent Revenge Against the Rebellious Captain" dungeon has been cleared. Evaluation based on dungeon performance is now available.]
The dungeon world exploration progress is 47%, and the basic rating is C.
Side Quest: The Uncrowned King of the Dark Street (70% progress), rating increases.
The vengeful spirit that crawled back from the ocean is 99% complete, and its rating has increased.
The Arena championship is not yet complete, and the evaluation level remains unchanged.
The invitation from the emerging nobility was not fulfilled.
...
The player dealt 82% of the total damage to Count Bartholomew, and his rating increased.
Based on your performance in the dungeon, your overall rating is A+, and all mission rewards will receive a 200% base increase.
In total, I obtained 2 Disaster Coins, 2 Personal Experience Points, 2 Skill Points, and 1 Special Material: Soul Crystal.
Several treasures and equipment, and the title of elite pirate captain 'Black Knight'.
This instance has been completed and is now in buffer mode. The remaining cooldown period is one month.
Black Knight: Inherited the title of the legendary pirate "Black Earl" Bartholomew, with more weaknesses compared to the original version, but gains reputation bonuses in some factions.
Soul Crystal: An essential material for crafting family heirlooms. When fused with a piece of equipment of blue quality or higher, and through bloodline and special rituals, it can be transformed into a weapon passed down through the family.
Of course, it can also be used to enhance existing heirlooms, allowing them to break through to a higher level, until they reach the level of divine artifacts.
Back in his house, Miao Meng glanced at the treasure in his backpack and tossed it aside; these things were of little value to him now.
When he first came into contact with the extraordinary power, he was thinking about making more money and even considered making videos, but after running a few dungeons, the idea fizzled out.
Putting aside the effort wasted on making videos and the issues of exposing one's personal information, the treasures he obtained from the dungeons alone were enough to make him financially independent.
He had put in a lot of effort to sell some gold coins through the black market, but now it seems somewhat ridiculous. He should have just sold them to the Investigation Bureau directly.
The Bureau of Investigation has always paid a premium for treasures and materials tainted with mysterious elements, and never questions their origins, which is much better than going through the trouble of searching the black market.
Then he took out the special material he was rewarded with—the Soul Crystal—and looked at it. It was a crystal that was entirely blue, pointed at both ends and thick in the middle, looking like a half-melted block of ice.
However, Miao Meng could sense the power within the crystals through his psychic senses. Unlike those elemental energy crystals, which were obviously dangerous, this one was different.
Beneath the pale blue shell of this soul crystal lies a dazzling light that can cause ordinary people to faint if they stare at it for too long.
"The Wind Sword isn't strong enough yet, so let's leave it here for now. After all, I haven't gotten my hands on the rituals needed to create a Soul Weapon."
Unable to find the relevant knowledge in the basement, Miao Meng could only put away this most valuable reward for the time being.
I also took a look at the titles. They mainly grant reputation bonuses to the pirate and noble factions, but the others don't offer any significant benefits. So I wasn't in a hurry to equip them, since I could have many titles at the same time, but only one would actually take effect.
Finally, he sorted through the pile of equipment. After eliminating the basic, unusable items, Miao Meng equipped himself with a decent set of gear.
Noble Glory: A five-piece set including a top, trousers, shoes, belt, and hat.
Set bonus:
Elegance: +10 Psionic Points, restores 1 Psionic Point per minute.
Noble Aura: +1 Charisma. This equipment can be considered formal attire for attending various noble banquets.
This set of equipment has average defense, barely on par with leather armor, but the enchantments on it are quite good, making it very suitable for the main character.
Then, she picked out an energy protection ring and a feather-fall spell ring from the jewelry and put them in the jewelry slot, while the necklace slot was still occupied by "My Beloved".
Although this rare necklace only has one activation left, it remains the most effective protection when facing danger.
After checking the effect of the equipment on himself in the mirror, Miao Meng hid it all away again.
After all, this outfit is the attire of a medieval nobleman. Wearing it out would be too out of place with modern fashion unless there was a comic convention going on.
"I've been so confused these past month, I need to catch my breath for a couple of days. It's Sunday morning now, how about we go out for a walk to clear our heads?"
Miao Meng checked the time on his phone. He entered the instance on Friday afternoon, stayed inside for more than a month, and only a little over a day had passed since he came out.
This sense of temporal dislocation made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. He wanted to rest but couldn't find a place to lie down. He only came out after he had slept his fill in the dungeon.
"Let's go out then. After eating dry rations for more than a month, I really miss shredded pork with garlic sauce and sweet and sour pork... The food in the dungeon is really bad, but that's normal, after all, it's the Middle Ages."
Without hesitation, Miao Meng first used his mobile phone to notify Xie Chen, telling him to hurry up and go to the usual restaurant outside the school so they could have lunch there.
When he left, he didn't forget to take the prop he had prepared beforehand from the studio: a fireball necklace made from a fragment of the Fire Stone provided by Xie Chen.
火球项鍊：火球术（1次/10日），防护火焰（1分钟/3日），火箭冲刺（1次/1日）
Although this necklace was Miao Meng's practice piece, he put a lot of effort into it. After all, if he wanted to make the Mars skateboard, he first had to make a prop with rocket boost.
Because of the space occupied by the Rocket Dash spell, this necklace caused the energy storage of the other two spells to drop sharply, and they almost failed.
However, after comparing the Fire Stone items that appeared on the forum, Miao Meng realized that the necklace he made wasn't too bad. Excluding the special dash spell, the other two spells were of average quality.
After arriving at the private room in the restaurant, Miao Meng tossed the necklace and instruction manual onto Xie Chen, and then began to eat, quickly devouring half the food on the table.
Xie Chen, who was standing next to him, didn't say a word after seeing the effects in the instruction manual. He just kept ordering more food and asked the waiter to bring out the restaurant's signature dishes again.
"Brother, no, godfather! Father! From now on, Meng-ge, you are my father."
After finishing the meal, Xie Chen changed his address four times in just one sentence. If he hadn't been too full to lie down, he would have even kowtowed twice.
The effect of this prop exceeded his expectations. Although he already knew that Miao Meng was very strong, he did not expect that the other party would be so powerful in making props.
The fact that he could create an item without consuming his own mental energy with only 1/10 of the Fire Stone in his hands was truly astounding.
Miao Meng didn't care about the other party's exaggerated reaction. After all, in his own opinion, the effect of this equipment was only average, and it was worlds apart from his own Mars skateboard.
"Alright, stop yelling. I've changed the activation spell to a foreign language for you, otherwise you might accidentally activate it while playing the game if it's in your native language."
"Yes. Godfather, this is a small token of my appreciation, you must accept it. There is over 72 inside."
A typical alchemist would charge around 10, while those from the Hidden Alchemy School would charge a higher price.
But none of these can compare to your necklace, a magical item that has no effect on my mental state. I can't estimate its value, but it's all I have right now.
As Xie Chen spoke, he took out all his possessions. After all, if the props had no impact, he wouldn't even be able to take a look at them if they were auctioned off outside.
