Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 112 Old Mo Goes Online
After leaving the Goblin Cave instance.

Long Xiaoyue informed Lin Hanchuan of the coordinates of the two instances that had been collected so far.

"Is the Trap Corridor a speedrun dungeon?"

Lin Hanchuan asked.

There are many types of dungeons in the game.

There are puzzle games, racing games, competitive games, monster-hunting games, and dungeons that combine multiple types, etc.

The Goblin Cave dungeon is a pure monster-slaying dungeon. You slay one monster after another, and the monsters you encounter get stronger and stronger until you finally kill the boss!

Racing games are different; they're purely a competition of speed.

For example, as soon as you enter the dungeon, the system tells you that you are being chased by an incredibly powerful monster, and you must run as fast as you can to survive.

It may also give you a map and ask you to reach the destination within a limited time, etc.

“Based on the information they revealed in the chat channel, it’s highly likely!” Long Xiaoyue nodded. “It should be a time-limited racing type.”

When exchanging information about the instance, Cao Renjie and Long Xiaochen remained silent. In the first server, Long Xiaoyue's role in the team included support, deputy commander, and intelligence gatherer.

Whenever it was time to enter a dungeon, Long Xiaoyue would personally gather intelligence and information.

Even in District 9, it's still her.

To paraphrase Lin Hanchuan, women are meticulous and can find useful information that we men tend to overlook.

Cao Renjie and Long Xiaochen agreed with this.

Long Xiaoyue happily accepted the position of intelligence gatherer within the team.

Long Xiaoyue then added another piece of information.

"Prefers single-player dungeon type!"

“Then let’s go to the [Trap Corridor]!” Lin Hanchuan decided.

There is currently a severe shortage of gold coins, and selling the first-clear rewards from dungeons is the fastest way to earn them. The price of the reward rights for speedrunning dungeons will be much lower than that for monster-slaying dungeons of the same level.

However, the profit rights for the previous [Goblin Cave] dungeon sold for 180,000, so even with lower prices for speedrunning dungeons, 100,000 should still be no problem.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Hanchuan, as a mage, would not participate in speed-run dungeons; those are the domain of speed-based players like assassins and rogues.

However, since he had the [Summon Holy Sword] skill, Lin Hanchuan wanted to try and see if he could fly on his sword.

The Trap Corridor isn't far; it's about a 40-minute walk away.

After Lin Hanchuan set the next dungeon, Long Xiaochen couldn't help but ask, "Captain, how many did you kill this time?"

Lin Hanchuan killed too many people; the corpses of many players were piled up together, making it impossible to count exactly how many there were.

Lin Hanchuan replied, "95!"

“That’s quite a lot!” Long Xiaochen said sincerely.

For a bounty of 50,000 yuan, 95 players killed Lin Hanchuan. This would never have happened in the first server.

Even 500 million might not be enough to attract a buyer.

Lin Hanchuan smiled, and at that moment, an information box popped up on the panel.

[Player "Jun Mo Wen" has requested to add you as a friend!]

[Note: Lao Lin, this is Lao Mo. I just completed account registration, chose the marksman class, and awakened a prophetic talent called "Trajectory".]

"Old Mo has come to Wangyue City too!" Upon seeing Mo Lingyun's friend request, Lin Hanchuan smiled and said to Cao Renjie and the others, "His ID is Jun Mowen. I'll add him to our group later."

"Holy crap, Junmowen!" Cao Renjie exclaimed in bewilderment, "This ID hasn't been registered yet?"

Lin Hanchuan laughed, "After Lao Mo sold the guild in Zone 1, he started an account ID studio and became an account reseller, registering a lot of rare IDs!"

"His ID, 'Jun Mo Wen,' is one of them."

With that, Lin Hanchuan accepted Mo Lingyun's friend request and then sent her a message.

Arakawa White Owl – “Old Mo, why are you so slow? It’s been almost half a day since we parted ways at Old Tong’s house, hasn’t it?”

"I went straight to Descent as soon as I got home, but the rules and instructions for Descent specifically for District Nine were so extensive that it took me three hours to finish reading them." — Jun Mowen
Mo Lingyun's reply surprised Lin Hanchuan. He then replied in return.

Arakawa White Owl: "So, there are actually people who read those densely packed rules and instructions!"

"It's important to understand the rules and instructions before playing a game." — Jun Mowen
Arakawa White Owl – “Did watching it trigger any hidden rewards?”

"No! I was just curious!" — Jun Mowen
Arakawa White Owl – “I’ll add you to a group. When you’re in the group, you can change your ID to your real name.”

"Okay!" — Jun Mowen
[Building a Bigger and Stronger Chat Group]

Group notification: [Jun Mowen has been invited to join the group by group owner Lin Hanchuan.]

Group notification: [Jun Mowen has changed his name to Mo Lingyun]

Lin Hanchuan: "Welcome Lao Mo to join our 'Growing Bigger and Stronger' chat group!"

Cao Renjie: "Welcome, Lao Mo!"

Long Xiaochen: "Welcome, welcome! I was so happy to hear that the president invited you to join that I couldn't sleep all night."

Long Xiaoyue: "Welcome, welcome!"

Apart from Lin Hanchuan and Mo Lingyun, who have a deep friendship, the others in the group are just so-so. They have cooperated a few times in Zone 1 and chatted privately a few times, but they have never met in real life.

However, since they have joined their future endeavors...

We definitely have to give them plenty of face.

Mo Lingyun: "Thank you all for your warm welcome!"

After a brief opening statement.

Lin Hanchuan chatted with Mo Lingyun in the group about selling the profit rights of the [Goblin Cave] dungeon.

During this time, Long Xiaochen interrupted and mentioned that Lin Hanchuan had killed nearly a hundred players at the entrance of the [Goblin Cave] dungeon, which made Mo Lingyun repeatedly say that Old Lin was a tough guy.

Lin Hanchuan found these words very pleasing.

With Lao Mo, a skilled communicator, joining the chat group, the atmosphere immediately became much more lively.

Later, Lin Hanchuan no longer needed to act as a catalyst. Cao Renjie and Long Xiaochen gradually got along well with Lao Mo and even made an appointment to eat at Lao Tong's house again next time.

After focusing on the chat group.

The forty-minute journey to the Trap Corridor passed quickly.

"We've arrived!" Long Xiaoyue reminded them.

Lin Hanchuan said something to Mo Lingyun, closed his personal panel, and looked ahead.

At the end of the road, on a small lawn, about twenty players gathered in twos and threes.

In the center of the lawn stood a dungeon portal, about three meters high and two meters wide, with the same light screen as the entrance to the Goblin Cave.

Dark black.

From any angle, it appears as a deep black curtain of light with ripples.

Let's take a closer look.

Not far from the light screen is a recording stone.

The top ten ranking positions are already full.

[First Place: Midnight Solo Dance]
Difficulty: Hard
Clearance time: 14 minutes and 32 seconds

Second Place: Midnight Solo Dance

Difficulty: Hard
Clearance time: 14 minutes and 39 seconds

[Third Place: Dancing Alone in the Middle of the Night...]

Six of the top ten records were taken by Midnight Solo Dance.
