Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 162 A mistake
Lin Hanchuan looked at the reward information on the panel.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

【The Obsession of the Plant Master】is a companion dungeon to 【The World of Plants】 and is not very difficult. This time, he followed the normal storyline and got an S-level completion.

The reward is alright.

Although the rewards are far less generous than those in the [Demon Plant World], the main reason for coming here this time is to obtain the Demon Plant Master profession.

If we get it, then we've achieved our goal of coming in.

The master of demonic plants.

The name sounds somewhat similar to Long Xiaochen's Lord of Elves.

Lin Hanchuan took out the job change scroll and glanced at it.

It is a nine-star profession.

Combined with the demonic plants of the realm, and the almost abnormal upgrade method of the stars.

Lin Hanchuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Xingchen is going to become my main support!"

In "The Obsession of the Plant Master", the city lord Ze'er and Shenluo used the boundary to drain the flesh and blood of all the humans in the city, which allowed Lin Hanchuan's Plant Master profession to reach level 100!
And the stars.

Maybe all I need to do is sleep a few more times.

The racial advantages of the stars are too great.

Put away the job change scroll.

Lin Hanchuan glanced at the profit rights of the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon.

[Rights to Gains from the [Plant Master's Obsession] Dungeon] - In the future, all gains obtained by players in the [Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon will be evaluated by the system, and 10% of the total value will be automatically deducted from the earnings. These earnings will be converted into Descent Currency and directly deposited into the account of the right holder.

Friendly reminder: The right to dungeon rewards is not a bound right; it can be freely bought and sold, traded to other players, or traded to the system.

Reference price for the right to income: 321,522 gold coins!

"The price of these gold coins is frighteningly low."

Lin Hanchuan muttered to himself.

"Only 55 gold coins, not even half of what's needed for the [Demon Plant World] dungeon."

However, considering that "The Obsession of the Plant Master" is just a supplementary dungeon to the "Plant World" storyline, it's like a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

The difficulty of passing the level is very low.

With this in mind, Lin Hanchuan felt more at ease.

Lin Hanchuan then sold it immediately.

Currently, the reputation of the two dungeons, [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession], has been established, inspiring many players to purchase the Water Bear Monster Set.

However, the number of players who can ultimately afford to spend thousands of gold coins to buy the Water Bear Monster Set is destined to be a minority, less than one in ten.

This directly affects the number of people entering the [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession].

In this situation, it's unclear when the 1.75 million gold coins from the two dungeon revenue rights will be earned.

Why not take advantage of the current high price of gold coins and sell them quickly, then invest that money in the asset management of Wangyue City?

We need to buy land and build structures.

Lin Hanchuan also planned to buy all the properties listed in the land transaction center by the NPC residents of Wangyue City.

This was another huge investment, something he hadn't dared to imagine before.

The more gold coins he had in his pocket, the stronger his confidence became.

The earlier you invest, the more you earn.

System: "Ding! Please note that you are currently applying for the right to profit from [The Demon Plant Master's Obsession]. The system estimates the value at 550,642 gold coins. Do you agree to the selling price?"

Lin Hanchuan immediately agreed.

System: "Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully sold the right to the [Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon, earning 550,642 gold coins. The currency has been transferred to your personal account. Please check it."

The moment the gold coins arrive in your account.

Lin Hanchuan's cash balance on his personal panel instantly surged.

He breathed a long sigh of relief.

After looking around at the pure white space, which was completely empty, Lin Hanchuan exited the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] instance.

Outside the instance, Long Xiaochen and his group were already waiting.

The system notification sounded immediately the moment Lin Hanchuan saw them.

"Congratulations to the Heavenly Path Team for becoming the only team in the Ninth District to achieve a first-time clear of the dungeon four times."

"The Heavenly Path Team has received the following rewards: 500 points, 5000 gold coins, and 400 reputation points for all members. A district-wide announcement will be made in the Ninth District next!"

"Ding! Attention all players in District 9! Congratulations to the 'Heavenly Path Team' from Wangyue City for achieving the first clear of the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon, becoming the first team in this district to complete four first clears of the dungeon!"

"Ding……"

In this district-wide announcement.

Long Xiaochen looked at Lin Hanchuan and asked, "Captain, did you get the goods?"

Lin Hanchuan took out the [Demon Plant Master Job Change Scroll] and replied, "Done! Nine-star Demon Plant Master job!"

As they were talking, Lin Hanchuan handed the scroll to Long Xiaochen.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

I run the [Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon, except for the first clear, just to get the Plant Master class.

Now that everything is settled, a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

"The right to the rewards from the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon was sold for 55 gold coins." As usual, Lin Hanchuan proactively reported the matter of the reward rights. Although the rewards ultimately went into his pocket, his teammates had the right to know.

Cao Renjie waved his hand and said with a smile, "Boss, you don't need to tell us about this kind of thing in the future."

Before entering the Ninth District, the group had already discussed it and agreed to wholeheartedly support Lin Hanchuan, doing whatever he wanted.

The important things are happiness and revenge.

Everything else is secondary.

"You have the right to know!" Lin Hanchuan said with a smile, knowing that Cao Renjie and the others didn't take it to heart, but there were some things that still needed to be said.

After all, they are all their own shareholders.

Long Xiaochen then changed the subject, "Captain, after clearing the final [Demon Plant Master's Obsession], everything turned into a blank world. What was the reason for that?"

Everyone looked at Lin Hanchuan with curiosity.

He was the only player in the Heavenly Path Squad who had a deep engagement with the dungeon's storyline.

[The Obsession of the Plant Master] In the dungeon, they just guarded the outside of the dungeon. Many things happened to them inexplicably and suddenly.

Everything in the final view turned into blank.

"The world inside the 'Demon Plant Master's Obsession' dungeon is probably a world that Melo imagined by combining his childhood memories," Lin Hanchuan replied after thinking for a moment.

"Our entry into it is merely to help Melo realize his fantastical wish."

"The above are all my personal speculations, and there may be other reasons. Everything is subject to the official plan."

Different people have different opinions on the same matter.

Many players like to review the events that occurred in a dungeon after completing it, and offer their opinions, especially for story-driven dungeons.

Lin Hanchuan's view is that "The Obsession of the Demon Plant Master" is Mero's fantasy world.

“That makes sense!” Long Xiaochen nodded vigorously, then looked at the recording stone beside him.

First place: Heavenly Path Team (Arakawa White Owl)
Difficulty: Asura level
Clearance time: 4 hours and 28 minutes

Then Long Xiaochen couldn't help but rub his hands together and said to Lin Hanchuan, "Captain, didn't you get a Realm Teleportation Token?"

Lin Hanchuan nodded and took out the Realm Teleportation Token. "This is it!"

Long Xiaochen asked with longing, "Can I borrow the [Demon Plant World] dungeon to try and break a speedrun record?"

[The Obsession of the Plant Master] The record for the Asura-level dungeon is already set. Even if it is improved, it will still take at least three and a half hours.

However, the Shura-level dungeon in the [Demon Plant World] is different; you can clear it as long as you kill the two-faced demon plant.

The Realm Teleportation Token allows players to be teleported to the Two-Faced Demon Plant as soon as they enter the dungeon, and then start killing it immediately!

Kill the enemy and you'll clear the level.

This can greatly shorten the time required for customs clearance.

More importantly, the Realm Teleportation Token is the only reward in the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon. No matter how other players trigger the story in the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon, they cannot obtain it.

In other words, only the Heavenly Dao Squad is qualified to speedrun through the [Demon Plant World].

Long Xiaochen also saw this as an opportunity.

"Only one person can use it!" Lin Hanchuan handed the token to Long Xiaochen, reminding him at the same time.

Long Xiaochen took the message, glanced at it, and said confidently, "Don't worry, I can handle it. I just want to break a speedrun record!"

Arrive at the entrance to the [Demon Plant World] dungeon.

Long Xiaochen, carrying the Realm Teleportation Token, entered a dungeon of Asura difficulty alone.

Less than five minutes.

Long Xiaochen then came out.

New records appear simultaneously on the panel.

First Place: The Dragon Regrets
Difficulty: Asura level
Clearance time: 3 minutes and 25 seconds

"Awesome!!" After handing the realm teleportation token to Lin Hanchuan, Long Xiaochen saw the record on the recording stone and immediately showed an extremely pleasant expression. "From now on, the record of clearing this [Demon Plant World] will always be under my control, Long Xiaochen."

"I, Long Xiaochen, am indeed the chosen one!"

Long Xiaochen tilted his head back and put his hands on his hips.

He looked smug.

Lin Hanchuan glanced at the record above, then silently took the Realm Teleportation Token and entered the Asura-level [Demon Plant World] instance.

Less than two minutes.

Lin Hanchuan came out.

First place: Arakawa White Owl
Difficulty: Asura level
Clearance time: 1 minute 01 seconds!

Looking at the brand-new record on the recording stone.

Lin Hanchuan nodded in satisfaction.

The Realm Teleportation Token is indeed convenient. As soon as I entered the Asura-level [Demon Plant World] instance, I immediately entered the coordinates of the cave where the two-faced demon plant was located.

When he teleported there, the Two-Faced Demon Plant was still a general-level boss. Lin Hanchuan went up and killed it quickly.

Seeing Lin Hanchuan's record, Long Xiaochen's face fell, but he comforted himself, "It's alright, I've maintained the first clear record in the [Demon Plant World] for a while."

Upon seeing the two brand-new records on the recording stone, Cao Renjie couldn't help but say, "Boss, I want to go in and try too!"

"Once inside, cut off the flowers on the top of the Two-Faced Demon Plant's head." Lin Hanchuan handed the Realm Teleportation Token to Cao Renjie on the spot, and instructed him, "As long as you cut off those two flowers, you will have successfully killed the Two-Faced Demon Plant."

Cao Renjie's profession is tank.

The primary focus is on defense.

Its attack power is pitifully low, so farming the Two-Faced Demon Plant is destined to be a long and tedious process.

Here's a reminder about the key attack points of the Two-Faced Demon Plant; it can help Cao Renjie shorten the time needed to clear the dungeon.

"Alright, boss!" Cao Renjie took the Realm Teleportation Token and entered the [Demon Plant World] instance.

Outside the instance, Lin Hanchuan opened the strategy team's chat group.

The announcement of clearing the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon just now has the players in the group extremely excited. "The Heavenly Dao Team is awesome! They actually took down the companion dungeon of [Demon Plant World] so quickly! No wonder they are the strongest team in Wangyue City!"

"With four consecutive first-clears of dungeons, the Heavenly Path Squad should be the strongest team in the Ninth District in terms of overall strength, right? How can they still be the strongest team in Moon Gazing City?"

"My goodness! In terms of combat power, the Heavenly Path Squad is indeed the strongest in the Ninth District right now!"

"What about the dungeon information? Didn't the player 'Kanglong Youhui' say that after clearing the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon for the first time, he would announce two dungeon information sessions in the group?"

"Let me ask for you. @Kanglongyouhui, are [The Demon Plant Master's Obsession] and [The Demon Plant World] exclusive resource dungeons for Demon Plant Masters?"

"Where are you, big shot? Say hi! I'm asking for a friend of mine. He's a Plant Master player from another region. After hearing that a Plant Master-related dungeon appeared in our Moon Gazing City, he immediately messaged me to ask about the details. If it really is a Plant Master resource dungeon, he might come to Moon Gazing City to create an alt account."

"I'm in the same situation. After posting the names of the two dungeons, 【The Obsession of the Plant Master】 and 【The World of Plant Masters】, on the Descent Forum, a group of Plant Master players chased after me asking if they were Plant Master resource dungeons."

"@Kanglongyouhui, @Huangchuanbaixiao, big shots! Please say something! The plant master players of the nine regions are starving for it."

……

Many people in the group have been asked by other players in the Demon Plant Master server to find out about the resource situation of the two dungeons, 【Demon Plant World】 and 【Demon Plant Master's Obsession】.

Although the profession of plant magician is a niche profession.

Normal players rarely encounter players who specialize in plant cultivation.

But the player base is what it is across the nine major regions.

Even the most niche professions combined still have a very large number of people.

More importantly, most plant master players are not short of money; they just enjoy the feeling of being invincible after nurturing their plants.

Unfortunately, the arrival of this event is not friendly to players who specialize in plant cultivation.

Resource dungeons specifically for Plant Master players are rarely released.

Games like "[Demon Plant World]" and "[Demon Plant Master's Obsession]", which include both downgraded dungeons and companion dungeons, are really making Demon Plant Master players itch with excitement.

I'd really like to know about the resources available inside.

If the resources inside are quite good, those plant-wielding players might come to Wangyue City without hesitation.

With the new district just opened, who wouldn't want to move to a city that offers preferential treatment to their profession?

In the public chat channel of Wangyue City, some players were discussing this matter, but the bigger reaction came from the Descent Forum.

The plant master players, who usually live in a niche circle, suddenly all came out and posted this time.

[Is it true that there are two dungeons related to the Demon Plant Master in Wangyue City, District 9? Brothers in Wangyue City, if you see this post, could you please reply? (Paid consultation available)]

[Players of the plant master genre rejoice: The Heavenly Path Team has achieved the first clear of the [Plant World] companion dungeon – [The Plant Master's Obsession]!]

[A gathering post for plant-wielding players joining Wangyue City!]

[Urgent!!! A newbie Plant Master preparing to join the Ninth District is seeking firsthand resource information for the two dungeons, "The Plant Master's Obsession" and "Plant World." Also looking for teammates! (Paid offer)]

I'm a plant cultivator, about to enter Wangyue City. Could you please tell me how much it costs to join the Heavenly Dao Squad? (I'm definitely not short of money.)

……

……

After browsing the forum for a while and reading the posts from plant master players in various regions, Lin Hanchuan suddenly realized that this time, it seemed like he had stumbled upon a winning strategy and was about to attract a group of wealthy men and women who didn't care about money to join Wangyue City.

This is a good thing!

Nobody dislikes a sucker who brings their own investment to the group.

Lin Hanchuan was no exception.

Just at this time.

Long Xiaochen popped up in the strategy team's chat group.

Kanglong Youhui: "Sorry, sorry. I just finished clearing the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon for the first time, and then I quickly cleared the [Demon Plant World] dungeon. I didn't see the messages from my good brothers."

Kanglong Youhui: "[Image] This is the speedrun record, please take a look first. Next, I will introduce the resource situation in these two dungeons."

The message is sent here.

Long Xiaochen suddenly looked up at Lin Hanchuan and asked, "Captain, is there any information in the [Demon Plant World] dungeon that needs to be hidden?"

"Don't mention to them that we have a divine-grade demonic plant seed," Lin Hanchuan replied.

Some things should be said, and some things should be kept secret.

Moreover, Lin Hanchuan will give the divine-grade demonic plant to Xingchen next.

If other players find out about the existence of the divine-grade demonic plant, it will only bring unnecessary trouble to Xingchen.

Lin Hanchuan continued, "Also, don't mention the nine-star Demon Plant Master class in the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon, but you can say that a hidden Demon Plant Master class appears in it."

On the forum, players from other regions who specialize in plant cultivation are now paying attention to Wangyue City.

We want to attract them to join Wangyue City.

The bait of "The World of Demon Plants" and "The Obsession of the Demon Plant Master" must be cast.

Fishing without baiting doesn't result in many catches.

Long Xiaochen understood immediately and said, "I understand!"

Following Lin Hanchuan's instructions, Long Xiaochen continued to speak in the strategy team's chat group.

Kanglong Youhui: "The main products of the [Demon Plant World] dungeon are demon plant seeds and nutrient solution needed for demon plant cultivation. As for demon plant seeds, we have obtained one eight-star superior seed and one nine-star medium seed. We also have quite a few other three-, four-, five-, and six-star demon plant seeds."

"One thing to note here is that the [Demon Plant World] is a downgraded dungeon, and the Shura-level dungeon is divided into three areas: the outer area, the core area, and the central area. After completing the tasks in the core area, you can enter the central area. You must immediately rush to the hiding place of the two-faced demon plant BOSS, rescue a middle-aged man who is being drained of his life force, and obtain the quest he issues. Only then can you gain the qualification to enter the companion dungeon [Demon Plant Master's Obsession]."

When Long Xiaochen spoke, the group was completely silent.

Everyone was carefully reading every word that Long Xiaochen posted. This was very important because it was almost equivalent to Long Xiaochen explaining the strategy for the Asura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon to them.

Kanglong Youhui: "Next up is the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon. The main reward is the hidden Demon Plant Master class. At least we got a decent Demon Plant Master class. There might be other resources, but we're not interested in exploring further. Feel free to try it out if you're interested."

"【The Obsession of the Plant Master】is a companion dungeon to 【The World of Plants】. It is not difficult. As long as you meet the entry requirements, you can clear it by following the storyline."

"I will send the walkthrough videos for these two dungeons to our team leader later."

"That concludes the information I'm releasing this time."

Long Xiaochen's message ended.

The chat group exploded.

"Holy crap, a level 25 Asura-level [Demon Plant World] dungeon, cleared in just over 3 minutes! The master of 'Kanglong Youhui' is truly terrifyingly strong!"

"The two dungeons, 【The World of Demon Plants】 and 【The Obsession of the Demon Plant Master】, are truly a boon for Demon Plant Master players. One produces Demon Plants, and the other produces the hidden Demon Plant Master class."

"When will the strategy video be released? I can't wait to go and check it out."

"The fact that a dungeon uses hidden classes as resources is truly unparalleled across all servers!"

"Hahaha! Spring has come for us plant spirit masters!"

The information that Long Xiaochen posted in the chat group spread rapidly throughout the game thanks to the players' reposting.

Lin Hanchuan was looking at the chat group.

Then I received a message from a friend.

He is a representative player from a top faction whom I added as a friend at the tavern before – Bench.

Lin Hanchuan had a deep impression of him because it was he who took the initiative to bring out a map to make it easier for everyone to choose land, saving him the trouble of taking them around.

Lin Hanchuan checked the information.

Bench—"Hey buddy, I heard you have some nine-star mid-grade demonic plant seeds and eight-star high-grade demonic plant seeds. Want to sell them? You set the price!"

Lin Hanchuan smiled when he saw his message.

The reason Lin Hanchuan didn't let Long Xiaochen hide the eight-star and nine-star demon plant seeds was to use the strategy team's chat group to find a powerful buyer for these two seeds.

The plant master is not short of money.

High-star plant seeds are just as important to plant master players as hidden professions of the same star level.

Lin Hanchuan wouldn't be going around hawking good stuff.

The price you pay to sell it elsewhere and the price you pay when someone comes to you to buy it, even if it's the same item, will result in a world of difference in the final transaction price.

Instead of going to find guests, it's better for guests to come to you.

Lin Hanchuan was very frank—"Those two seeds are the only rewards from the [Demon Plant World], and they're not cheap."

He couldn't possibly show mercy just because the other party was a player from a top university.

Seeing that he had a good chance of getting the two high-level demonic plant seeds, Bench immediately sent a message: "It's okay, just name your price!"

"I'm not short of money!"

Lin Hanchuan thought for a moment, then drew his sword and began to slaughter them fiercely—"Eight-star level: 60 gold coins! Nine-star level: 100 gold coins!"

Lin Hanchuan's price was indeed too steep, and he didn't dare to make a decision right away. He quickly sent a message: "Could you wait a moment? I'll go and ask."

"It's alright, go ask. I have a few old friends messaging me about the demon plant seeds, I need to reply to them." — Lin Hanchuan pretended to be popular, putting some pressure on Ban Deng.

"I'll send you the information right away!" - Bench dared not doubt that it was true. At present, the information about the two dungeons, [Demon Plant World] and [Demon Plant Master's Obsession], has spread throughout the nine regions. There will definitely be demon plant masters who are not short of money who come to Lin Hanchuan, just like his boss's favorite son.

The company's employees all like to call him "Little Boss".

The small boss is a plant master player who plays in another region.

Upon hearing that two dungeons related to the Demon Plant Master had appeared in Wangyue City, he immediately mobilized his internal connections to find him and kept a close eye on the situation.

The young boss somehow found out about the demonic plant seed on Arakawa White Owl even before I did.

The bench was requested by the small business owner to inquire about.

Lin Hanchuan didn't have to wait long before he received a message from Ban Deng.

Bench—"Two for the price of 150 million gold coins!"

"If you agree to this offer, I can pay you a deposit of 500,000 gold coins right now!"

"No problem! It'll be a pleasure to work with you!" Lin Hanchuan agreed, but couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.

150 million gold coins—that's more expensive than the reward rights for the [Demon Plant World] dungeon.

Lin Hanchuan was very satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, I received a transfer of 500,000 gold coins from Bench.

Bench—"The deposit has been transferred to you. Please check it. For the remaining one million, you can choose a location, and we'll exchange money for goods on the spot."

The bench is great.

Lin Hanchuan also wanted to get the money as soon as possible.

"I'm on the Green Light Lake map right now. Just come over here! Send me a message when you get there." — Lin Hanchuan immediately made the decision.

Bench – “No problem, I’ll be right there! Also, may I ask if you could sell me the hidden Plant Master class you obtained in the [Plant Master’s Obsession] dungeon?”

"Sorry, that profession scroll has already been reserved by another brother. However, you can go to the [Demon Plant Master's Obsession] dungeon. If you get a high completion rating, you might be able to obtain it." - Lin Hanchuan replied. The Demon Plant Master was prepared for Xingchen and would not sell to anyone else.

Bench sighed. He was still too late, but getting two high-star demon plant seeds was not bad. "Okay, I understand!"

The chat with the bench wasn't over yet.

Players from other top factions also sent messages to Lin Hanchuan, inquiring about eight-star and nine-star demon plant seeds, as well as the hidden profession scroll for demon plant masters.

They were all businessmen.

They keenly sensed the potential influx of plant master players to Wangyue City from the two dungeons, "[Demon Plant World]" and "[Demon Plant Master's Obsession]".

Even if you don't need the Demon Plant Seeds and the Demon Plant Master Hidden Job Change Scroll, you can still hoard them and sell them to other players.

Although they ultimately failed to obtain the high-star demon plant seeds and the job change scroll, they did buy all the remaining demon plant seeds that Lin Hanchuan had.

Meanwhile, many people are also asking about the Silver-tier Water Bear Monster set.

With the bait already in place, the sales of the Silver-tier Water Bear Monster set are destined to be strong.
