Life Dungeon Game

This is a park cemetery, which was recently completed.

The man followed the path to its end and saw the only grave in the cemetery.

A cold tombstone stands there.

[Neil Roth]

A sacred soul sleeps here.

He ensured that everyone in the city still had the right to breathe, while he himself lost his breath.

Bouquets of flowers were placed at the foot of the tombstone; some flowers had gradually withered, while others were still vibrant and lovely.

These flowers are packaged differently and have different shapes, seemingly coming from many different florists and many different people.

The man gently squatted down, looking at the brand new...

A brand new photo on the tombstone.

The young man in the photo has a gentle smile on his face and looks up ahead, seemingly looking at the person in front of the tombstone, or perhaps looking towards the future.

The man placed the flowers he was holding in front of the tombstone.

The night breeze caressed his hair and brushed against his clean face.

"Are you his friend?"

A soft voice came from behind.

"I guess so, a friend I've never met."

The man slowly stood up and looked behind him.

Standing behind him was a gentle young man wearing drab overalls and dusty round-framed glasses.

The young man had a small mining pickaxe tucked into his waistband and a large work bag slung over his shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

The man asked softly.

"A few lights inside are broken. The repairman is off work today, but I happen to have some free time, so I came to replace them."

The young man pointed inside the park.

The man in silver glanced at the young man and asked softly, "May I watch from the sidelines?"

"Of course, it's not something that needs to be kept secret."

The young man laughed.

Then he slung his work bag over his shoulder and walked into the park, with the man in silver following behind him.

The two passed by one street lamp after another.

The bright light cast two long, parallel shadows on the ground.

Are you a miner?

The man in silver looked at the small pickaxe at the young man's waist.

"No, it's just a decoration," the young man said casually.

“This was left to me by my youngest brother. He entrusted it to my other brother. I don’t know why he trusted me so much, but I can’t betray his trust.”

He stopped in his tracks. "We're here."

The man in silver raised his head and looked around.

The surroundings were pitch black, with only the faint glow of the streetlights in the distance.

They were standing under an off streetlamp.

"There was a thunderstorm a couple of days ago, and the lightning protection device in this park hadn't been installed yet, so these lights were damaged."

The young man took out a small flashlight, put it on his head, and then took out two shoe covers with smart locks and put them on his feet. He then nimbly climbed onto the street lamp.

He quickly removed the broken streetlight and took out a new one from his work bag to replace it.

The bright lights shone again.

The young man quickly slid down the lamppost, walked to another extinguished lamppost, and swiftly replaced the bulb.

The man in silver looked around at the scenery. "It seems like few people come here. Maybe no one will care if these streetlights are replaced a few days later."

By this time, the young man had climbed up the third street lamp, which seemed to be the last one. As he deftly put away the old bulb and replaced it with a new one, he said softly, "There are still people who care."

A bright light slowly shone, illuminating the once dark path.

The streetlight stood beside a Y-shaped intersection. After the light was turned on, an elderly man with difficulty walked out from the other intersection.

He looked up at the young man still on the streetlight, smiled and gave him a thumbs up, then slowly walked away.

"Those who are illuminated will care."

The young man climbed down from the street lamp, stood at the crossroads, and looked at the faltering old man. “It’s like someone raising a torch in the dark. The light may be faint, but it will always illuminate some people around them.”

"In the darkness of night, there is not only darkness, but also storms, and a fragile torch can be easily extinguished."

The man in silver looked at the streetlights overhead, walked to the fork in the road, and said softly.

"But it did illuminate some people after all. Some of those who have seen the light will ignite new torches."

At this point, the young man turned his head to look at the silver-clad man beside him, only to find that the silver-clad man was smiling at him.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Two long shadows stretched across the night sky, pointing in the same direction but landing on different forks in the road.

The night wind blew up their clothes.

On a screen in a commercial building not far from the park, the day's news is being broadcast.

"This afternoon, Mayor Christos of Dawn City arrived in Rock City for a short visit to discuss disaster relief and reconstruction with Mayor Wright."

"It is understood that reconstruction supplies purchased by Dawn City to aid Rock City departed from various locations the day before yesterday..."

boom--

A thunderclap resounded through the sky.

It seems a storm is brewing.

I'm having a bit of writer's block, so it'll be a little late. I haven't been able to stay up late lately. Tomorrow I'll need to work through the plot, and I'll make up for it with an extra chapter in a couple of days.

Chapter 395 The Seventh Official Dungeon Settlement (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe!)

[Task evaluation and settlement in progress...]

You have ignited the flame!

He Ao lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all.

This dungeon run lasted a full six days, longer than any dungeon he had ever run before.

In these six days, he needs to improve his strength to C-level and unravel the mysteries shrouding the entire city layer by layer.

You'll be facing a powerful and meticulous B-level boss who controls the municipal government, conglomerates, underground gangs, most of the city's defense forces, and practically the entire city.

His starting point was as an ordinary apprentice with not very strong physical abilities.

Even if he solves all the mysteries, borrows all the power he can, and arranges everything perfectly, the final battle will still face the arrival of a powerful evil god who is completely beyond his capabilities.

Without good friends, he really wouldn't know how to get through this dungeon.

Therefore, when you're traveling, it's important to make more friends.

Unfortunately, things don't happen more than three times. He has now summoned his good friend for the third time. No matter how irritable his good friend is, he should have sensed something.

The descent of a deity should require energy, which is always paid for by the person presiding over the ceremony. But this time, my friend clearly paid for his own descent. If there is a next time, it will probably be even more exciting.

Moreover, this time He Ao had his good friend hold off Death, and after that, he completed his mission, not giving his friend a chance to catch him. But next time, it might not be so easy.

He felt that his good friend would be very happy to grab him and have some "intimate contact".

Friends should maintain a certain distance; distance makes the heart grow fonder.

Next time you encounter this situation, it's better not to involve your best friend. Developing a relationship with other friends might be just as good.

He Ao is a very good friend-making person. He knows that one cannot be biased towards one friend and must take care of the feelings of other friends.

So, what is the overall evaluation this time? Such a difficult task should deserve a high rating, right?

He Ao focused his attention on the subtitles in front of him.

A line of small print appeared in his field of vision.

Your task rating is SSS.

Ok?

He Ao sat up abruptly from the bed.

[Completion Rating of the Death Case Investigation: SSS (Starting from scratch, you unraveled the secrets that shrouded the entire city, identified the mastermind behind the layers of intricate connections, and your unparalleled wisdom is awe-inspiring; even the gods would be astonished by your intelligence.)]

[Completion Rating for Reduction in Death Cases: SSS (You have broken the ancient ritual array, disrupted the terrifying ritual, and, with your mortal body, plotted to prevent the arrival of a great being, thus waking the entire Federation from its dream of peace.]

Millions of people have gained the right to continue breathing because of your efforts, tens of millions have benefited from your actions, your story is told by thousands, and your name is etched in history.

[Side Quest Completion Rating: SSS (You have taken the first step in history, overthrowing a nearly century-old conglomerate and establishing a young, unprecedented enterprise. We do not know where it will lead, but future history will record this brilliant chapter. The wheels of time...]

The wheel will change direction when you push it.

[Hidden Quest Completion Rating: SSS (You perfectly protected the light in Nell's heart, protected his loved ones, and uncovered the ultimate truth.)]

A surge of energy flowed into He Ao's soul, gradually replenishing and restoring it from the depletion it had suffered from prolonged use of his life force.

He Ao felt that his soul was like rice being pounded to remove the husks, constantly burning his life force to consume the impurities on the outside, and then constantly adding new rice, removing the dross and keeping the essence, so that his soul was constantly purified.

I don't know how it will end up.

He shook his head, temporarily banishing the thought, and looked at the words in his field of vision.

For the first main quest, he had already figured out the evaluation criteria.
