Online game: Basic attacks increase strength; the greater the power, the more powerful it is!

Jun Heng was overjoyed.

really!

In "Alien Descent", increasing NPC favorability is undoubtedly the most important aspect.

Especially for characters like Hogan who have hidden backgrounds, the higher their favorability rating, the more benefits they can obtain.

"Young man, please wait a moment."

Hogan turned and walked to the corner of the blacksmith's shop, his rough hands lightly touching the wall.

There was a soft click, as if some mechanism had been activated.

A stone slab in the wall slowly caved in, revealing a hidden compartment about the size of a palm.

Jun Heng's eyes narrowed.

Hidden compartment?

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

What good thing could he possibly have that would warrant such a secret?

Hogan then took out a wooden box from a hidden compartment.

The box is engraved with intricate patterns and looks exceptionally beautiful.

He carried the wooden box back to the table, his movements unusually careful.

"Young man, you've been so generous to this old man, I can't let you suffer a loss."

Hogan placed the wooden box on the table and ran his fingers along its edge.

Finally, he took a deep breath and opened the box.

There was nothing dazzling inside the box, only a dull ring lying quietly on the velvet cushion.

The ring was dark red all over, with a broken gemstone set in the face.

The ring is engraved with intricate runes, but most of them are worn and blurred.

At first, Jun Heng was a little confused, but when he saw the properties of the ring, he was stunned.

The Damaged God-Slaying Ring (Crimson Grade)

[Status: Severely damaged]

[Strength: +30]

[Description: A relic of an ancient demon god, bearing terrifying power. Now, its body has shattered, and its power has been completely lost, leaving only the power of a black iron-grade artifact.]

Materials required to upgrade to Green Bronze level: Magic Crystal*3, Star Sand*3, Soul Stone*3, Lava Iron Butt*3

Jun Heng's gaze was fixed on the ring.

Crimson level!

This is the highest quality equipment in Alien Exodus!

Although it's currently severely damaged and can only function at the Black Iron level, if it can be repaired...

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Master Hogan, this ring..."

"It's yours."

Seeing Jun Heng's excited expression, Master Hogan smiled slightly.

"I no longer have the energy to repair this equipment, so I intend to hand it over to you."

"Once you reach the level 2 town, Dawn City, find the blacksmith Hawke at the blacksmith's workshop."

"Show him this ring, and he will help you."

"Thank you, Master Hogan."

Jun Heng quickly took the ring and said sincerely.

"Alright, young man, go ahead."

Hogan waved his hand and sat back down by the fireplace.

"When you get to Dawn City, please give my regards to that kid Hawke."

"Tell him that I'm still alive, and that he shouldn't keep thinking about my trivial matters."

Upon hearing this, Jun Heng nodded solemnly.

This harvest far exceeded his previous expectations.

Let's not even talk about experience points, gold coins, or skill scrolls.

A single broken artifact is enough to make anyone ecstatic.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Hogan, Jun Heng got up and left.

But before he left, his thoughts were in turmoil.

You can get such a treasure with only 80 points of favorability.

If you reach level 100, will you get a powerful artifact right away?

However, while the initial level of favorability increases rapidly, it becomes increasingly difficult to raise it once it reaches a certain level.

It seems I need to think of a way to further increase Hogan's favorability.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Junheng found a secluded corner.

He listed the skill scroll on the auction house with a starting price of 10 gold coins, and then equipped the Godslayer Ring.

Although 30 points of strength were insignificant in his eyes.

However, the various incredible additional effects of the artifact still made Jun Heng extremely excited.

Thinking this, he took out the Dark Abyss Invitation he had recently obtained from his backpack.

In his previous life, he had heard too many legends about special instances.

Those players who dare to take on the challenge either become rich overnight or fall from grace.

High risk, high reward.

This is precisely what makes special instances so appealing.

And now, he possesses a super-dominant level talent.

Strength value exceeded 1000, attack power exceeded 3000.

Let alone a level 10 invitation from the newbie village, he wouldn't be afraid even at level 20.

With a slight exertion of force, the invitation card transformed into a cluster of dark red light particles.

The next second, the ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed.

It was as if an invisible hand was trying to drag him into endless darkness.

A feeling of weightlessness washed over me, and all I could hear was the whistling wind.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Jun Heng opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on an ancient stone platform.

All around was endless void, pitch black as ink, with no visible boundaries.

Only the stone platform beneath our feet emitted a faint light, barely illuminating the space within a few meters.

[Ding! You have entered a special instance: Abyss Corridor]

[Dungeon Difficulty: Hell Level]

[Challenge Mode: Single Player]

[Completion Condition: Defeat all guards in the Abyss Corridor and reach the end]

[Failure Penalty: Level -5, two random pieces of equipment will drop]

[Note: This dungeon has seven levels, each with a boss guarding it. Please proceed with caution.]

"Hell difficulty, seven bosses guarding the level, looks like it's going to be another big win."

Jun Heng looked at the system notification and a smile appeared on his lips.

He stepped down from the stone platform, and ahead lay a narrow passage.

Two pitch-black abysses, from which a low, guttural roar could be faintly heard.

Jun Heng ignored him and strode forward.

At the end of the passageway was a spacious circular hall.

A complex magic circle was drawn on the floor of the hall.

At the center of the magic circle stood five figures.

They were five humanoid creatures dressed in black armor, each wielding a longsword engulfed in black flames.

[Abyss Guardian - Black Iron Swordsman (Elite)]

[Level: 10]

[HP: 50000/50000]

Attack Power: 450, Defense Power: 280

[Skills: Dark Flame Slash, Iron Body, Abyssal Gaze]

[Description: Guardians of the first level of the Abyss Corridor, loyal to the Lord of the Abyss, who will sever the heads of intruders with their longswords.]

50,000 HP, 450 attack power.

This attribute is already comparable to that of a Black Iron BOSS of the same level.

But for Junheng... it seems a bit too weak.

Junheng wasted no time in making preparations and directly stomped his foot on the ground.

Bang!

After a dull thud, he appeared in front of a black iron swordsman.

A punch was thrown!

boom!

The fist collided with the black armor, producing a deafening roar!

-2845! -1024!

……

A damage number floated above the head of a Black Iron Swordsman, and his health bar instantly dropped by nearly one-tenth.

[Ding! Strength growth triggered, Strength increased by 1.7!]

[Mastery of the Ultimate Power Technique +1 (483/1000)]
