Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 56 Earth-Penetrating Technique

The task was mentioned.

The chat groups became even more active.

Everyone knows Lin Hanchuan's personality. At this critical moment when every second counts, he was actually willing to spend an hour or two doing quests in the newbie village after reaching level 10.

That task is truly incredibly appealing.

Long Xiaochen was the first to ask: "Captain, what other missions do you have?"

Lin Hanchuan didn't tell them about this.

However, Lin Hanchuan has always been very straightforward with his old teammates.

I will answer any question and will speak my mind without reservation.

Lin Hanchuan immediately replied: "A D-level hidden mission, which is an extension of the previous F-level hidden mission. An S-level solo mission, which he gave me voluntarily before I killed the priest."

"Both of these tasks can be completed now, but there is still room for improvement in the level of completion. I want to improve it a little further."

In the hidden quest D, Lin Hanchuan was aiming for the rare item.

If an F-rank hidden quest achieves an SSS-rank completion and receives a rare item, and a D-rank quest achieves an SS-rank completion, one should be able to obtain another rare item, and there's a high probability that subsequent hidden quests will be triggered.

Lin Hanchuan didn't have high hopes for an S-rank solo mission.

Before receiving this mission, I had already killed a lot of demons. The remaining demons would at most bring the completion rate to A, but it would be enough to get a region-wide announcement.

When Cao Renjie heard that Lin Hanchuan had two high-level missions, his eyes almost turned red.

He had just accepted an A-level solo mission and wanted to show off, but he was unexpectedly killed by Lin Hanchuan.

Cao Renjie: "One D-rank hidden character, one S-rank solo character, boss, are you on your way to becoming the version's chosen one in the ninth region!"

"I, Cao Renjie, am genuinely envious!"

Long Xiaochen couldn't sit still any longer.

He's level nine now, but he's still half an experience point away from level ten.

He also wanted to see if he could find a high-level quest before entering the city.

Long Xiaochen: "Captain, I've already advanced to the village chief. After killing the village chief, I'll go after the priest. Can you tell me how to trigger the S-rank solo mission from the priest?"

"I've already completed the F-rank hidden quest, but the completion score was only SS, and I didn't get any rare items."

Cao Renjie was also quite anxious, "Boss, tell me!"

"No problem! Let me explain..." Lin Hanchuan immediately turned on the voice chat and explained the entire process of triggering the S-rank hidden mission in detail. He added at the end, "You can refer to what I say, but it probably can't be copied. The situation in each newbie village is different, so you'll have to adapt to the situation yourself."

"It would be best if we could get the mission, but it's okay if we can't."

Cao Renjie: "Okay, boss!"

Long Xiaochen: "No problem, Captain!"

"Oh! Right! I'll transfer 100 gold coins to you right now!"

Cao Renjie and Long Xiaochen are full of anticipation.

Only Long Xiaoyue, who was playing a support role, remained silent for a moment before replying after the other two.

Long Xiaoyue: "I will try my best!"

……

After receiving the 100 gold coins transferred from Long Xiaochen, Lin Hanchuan chatted briefly before closing his personal panel.

Focus your attention on the demon goblin's corpse.

The dropped items are nice.

Lin Hanchuan sorted through the items and found he had 50 gold coins, which must have been painstakingly accumulated by the demon goblin.

Weapons and equipment: three bronze items dropped.

Scimitar, armor, helmet.

None of them are usable by the mage class.

Lin Hanchuan casually tossed them into his spatial ring.

He circled the demon goblin's corpse again, moved the body aside, and a thin book came into Lin Hanchuan's view.

"Ok?"

"Skill books have been released?!"

During the event, the drop rate for skill books from killing monsters is incredibly low.

It's normal for demon goblins to drop 50 gold coins; otherwise, players wouldn't specifically seek them out in the Abyss.

Skill books are rare, and they only drop from higher-ranking demon goblins. Lin Hanchuan was pleasantly surprised to see a level 8 lord-level demon goblin dropping a skill book, and immediately picked it up.

[Earth-Penetrating Skill Book]: After learning it, you will obtain the E-rank skill - Earth-Penetrating.

Job requirements: Mage, and earth-related jobs such as Earth Knight, Goblin, etc.

[Earth-penetrating technique]

Grade: E

Consumes 100 mana points, allowing the body to traverse the earth, reaching a depth of no more than 5 meters and a distance of no more than 50 meters. During this time, movement speed is increased by 100%. When a player specializing in earth magic casts this skill, the effect is increased by 50%!
Cooling time: 10 minutes
After glancing at the information.

A smile had already appeared on Lin Hanchuan's face.

The Earth Piercing skill is one of the best skills for escaping, mining, treasure hunting, and hiding. Apart from a few treasure chests that can be obtained, it can basically only be dropped by goblin-type monsters.

Rumors circulated in various regions that certain players had used the "Earth-Penetrating Technique" to unearth treasures.

This isn't just hearsay; Lin Hanchuan did it too, using the Earth Piercing Technique to steal a red dragon's home in Zone 1.

The reason why the demon goblins were able to escape from the [Fire Domain] so easily was because of the [Earth Piercing] skill effect.

Therefore, the Earth Piercing Technique can also quickly help users escape the attack range of area-of-effect skills.

Lin Hanchuan immediately began studying.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully learned the skill book and acquired a new skill—Earth Piercing Technique!"

After thoroughly examining the demon goblin's corpse and confirming there was nothing there, Lin Hanchuan equipped the [Demon Attribute Token] and left with Xingchen.

As for the corpse of the demon goblin.

If it is not placed in the storage space, it will be quickly recycled by the system.

Just as Lin Hanchuan and his group stepped out of the gate, the corpse vanished in a flash of white light.

……

……

The story of Lin Hanchuan becoming the first level 10 player in Wangyue City.

For players in Wangyue City, some were happy, some were surprised, and some were angry.

Beginner Village #9, outside the safe zone of the beginner village.

Hundreds of players are gathered together, using sheer numbers to whittle down the health of a level 18 ordinary rhino monster.

One of the players, whose ID was "Madman," was swearing loudly.

"Arakawa White Owl! I swear!!"

"Ughhh!! I'm so angry!!"

The madman was furious.

Wangyue City was the ninth city he carefully selected. In order to make it bigger and stronger in the future, he did not hesitate to bring in all the brothers from the second district guild, determined to make Wangyue City his base.

After entering the beginner village, in order to become the first player in Wangyue City to reach level 10, the Madman directly followed the example of those top players with powerful backgrounds and spent a lot of money.

200 yuan per hour.

He hired two hundred players to follow him out of the beginner village's protected area and hunt high-level monsters.

Player number 200 sacrificed their lives to reduce the health of high-level monsters, while the madman harvested the kills from behind.

Everything had been going smoothly until now.

Experience increases rapidly.

He is currently less than 20% away from level 10. If he can defeat this level 18 ordinary rhinoceros monster in front of him, he will become the first level 10 player in Wangyue City.

But unexpectedly, the Arakawa White Owl from his younger brother's starting village beat him to it.

"Crazy Guy, watch out! The Rhino Monster has gone berserk!"

Just then, someone shouted a reminder.

The madman looked up.

A giant hoof fell from the sky.

"boom!!"

Scattered into mud and crushed into dust!
