Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

In addition to the rewards from the hidden map quests, Chu Yang also obtained five treasure chests after defeating these artifact spirits.

The Longsword Weapon Pivot drops a purple treasure chest.

Five treasure chests yielded a total of 3200 gold, one purple rune, one green rune, one blue skill book, one green relic, and one blue companion item.

The purple rune is an exclusive rune for evasion.

{Piercing Void Technique - Purple} - Evasion Rune, increases maximum evasion distance by 1 and allows passing through walls (limited by wall thickness).

This is a very useful rune. The original "Evasion" skill cannot pass through walls, which is why Chu Yang's "Crystal Prison" was able to trap so many people.

With this rune, Chu Yang's "Evasion" skill will become even more practical.

Chu Yang immediately equipped the rune below the "Evasion" skill.

The other green rune is unnecessary for both Chu Yang and Hong Niang.

That blue skill book is not bad.

"Sword Escape Technique: Blue" - A transformation skill that grants the user the ability to fly by transforming into a sword. Only sword-type skills can be used during the transformation, and the transformation will be disabled if the user takes damage.

Although this skill has many limitations, Chu Yang has no reason not to learn it just because of its flight effect.

Because the Tier 2 panel has an extra skill slot, Chu Yang can learn it directly.

The green relic is not suitable for Chu Yang and Hong Niang.

Then there was the blue companion device.

The companion's special effects are not as good as the current ones, but its attributes are good: +30 spell power, +10 spell resistance.

Chu Yang fused it into [Shaking Step - Thunder Punishment - Blue], thus the attribute of [Shaking Step - Thunder Punishment - Blue] became—

+35 Ability Power, +500 Health

Since both items provide spell power, this adds an additional 5 points to the base spell power of 30.

It may not seem like much, but as more spell power attribute companions are fused together in the future, the attributes of this companion will become even more impressive.

Finally, there's the experience point. Thanks to the 20% experience point bonus from [Relic Blue], Chu Yang's level increased by one level after clearing the hidden dungeon, reaching Tier 2, Level 4.

Among the attribute reward options, +10 spell power was also selected.

In addition, the matchmaker's level is almost up to level 3.

After exiting the hidden dungeon, it was already pitch black outside, and the teammates had already completed the mission to clear level 3.

Chu Yang took the [Thousand Mile Button] that he had previously hidden outside, and then used the "Sword Escape Technique" to transform into a long sword and fly to the safe zone.

Upon arriving at the safe zone, a familiar warmth spread throughout my body.

Chu Yang, who had been somewhat tired, was instantly filled with energy again.

The system notification sounded immediately, and Chu Yang's passing score for this level was still SS level.

The reward for completing this level is a relic, and you can still choose one of three.

【Armor-Piercing Talisman - Purple】—Your normal attacks ignore 30% of the enemy's defense.

[Black Tortoise Armor Plate - Purple] - Attacks below 10% of your maximum health will not deal damage to you.

【Spectrum Mirror - Purple】—There is a 50% chance that you will generate an extra summon each time you generate a summon.

Of the three relics, Chu Yang naturally chose the last one, the [Spectroscope - Purple].

Chu Yang's battle strategy has now been basically clarified.

It uses the almost unlimited "Dodge" skill as an engine to generate as many mirror images and lightning-type spirits as possible.

Then, use the lightning strikes and lightning damage inflicted by lightning-type Pokémon to deal damage.

Both lightning-type spirits and mirror images are summoned creatures, which will greatly enhance Chu Yang's damage output.

As expected, the transaction then began within the safe zone.

After Chu Yang threw out six items—two blue and four green—he immediately attracted the attention of five people who had pushed open the door.

Unfortunately, they didn't have any items that Chu Yang wanted, so in the end Chu Yang sold three items for 800 for one blue item and 250 for one green item.

In this way, Chu Yang had 5800 coins.

After the transaction, everyone headed towards Gate 4.

Among these three doors, another one appeared that Chu Yang had never seen before—the [Cursed Shop].

Xiaomen explained: "In the [Cursed Shop], you can buy items at extremely low prices, but the items will be cursed."

Of the six, only the fat Song Jialiang had seen this gate when he was in the first-tier gate domain.

Upon seeing this door, Song Jialiang seemed to recall some unpleasant memories.

"I suggest you all avoid this course; it's a total rip-off!"

The short-haired girl, Hu Wen, asked curiously, "Is it because the items inside carry curses that's causing trouble?"

Song Jialiang nodded and said, "Although there are many good things inside, the curse on each item is very troublesome."

"The curses I've seen before, like losing health just by moving, being unable to use skills, or being certain to die if you get hurt, are absolutely disgusting."

"The conditions for lifting the curse are very strict. I didn't dare to choose any of them and left the room directly, wasting an opportunity to improve my strength."

After finishing his sentence, Song Jialiang walked into the [Simple Combat Door] on the left.

There is also an evacuation door.

However, none of the six people who pushed the door open had any intention of leaving in advance.

Song Jialiang's words had a certain impact; of the remaining five people who pushed open the door, only Chu Yang and Hu Wen chose the "Cursed Shop" option.

Chu Yang would not choose the "Easy Combat Gate" just because of Song Jialiang's words.

Given his supermodel-level combat prowess, choosing the "Easy Combat Gate" would be a real waste of an opportunity to improve his strength.

Moreover, Chu Yang felt that the dangers and rewards within the sect domain were often directly proportional.

Moreover, Chu Yang had to see this new gate.

With a flash of white light, Chu Yang arrived at a dimly lit alley.

The end of the alley is the only source of light and also where the [Cursed Shop] is located.

This is a shop with a very unusual decor.

Several corpses of unknown races were hung on the surrounding walls as decorations.

The store only has six items, which are not categorized and are simply suspended in the store.

Chu Yang approached each of the six items and learned about their information.

Then, all attention fell on one of the illustrated books.

This is a permanent item called [Encyclopedia of All Races: Golden Legend].

【All Races Compendium - Golden Legend】 (Cursed and sealed, unusable.) - Permanent item. You can create character cards from the alien races you kill and add them to the compendium. Afterward, you can copy one of the card character's talents and skills.

1. Each race can only keep one card.

2. Each gate level allows for one change of the copied talents and skills.

3. In the real world, talents and skills can be copied and replaced every 24 hours.

Curse effect: Your general skills will be unusable after you possess this item.

Conditions to lift the curse: Kill 10000 alien races (currently 0/10000)
