You promised it would be a free game, but now your screen is full of in-app purchase prompts?

After entering the map, Bao Ge remained the same as before.

He repeatedly used the wooden stick to chop, and after the skill cooldown was over, he would occasionally insert an uppercut or a ghost slash.

In the early stages, due to the low mana pool, these basic skills consume very little mana.

However, the blue bar still runs out after only a few uses.

Of course, this doesn't matter.

In the early stages, goblins can easily clear the game using only sticks for basic attacks.

Even the goblins that become the final boss are basically no challenge for Bao Ge after he gets used to the controls.

It wasn't long before it was knocked to death.

After clearing the level, Bao Ge gained experience and successfully leveled up to level three.

At this point, a card draw interface popped up on the game's completion screen.

There are eight cards in total.

The four cards above are free; you can randomly draw one as a reward for completing the level.

Below that are four paid cards, each requiring a payment of 280 gold coins to draw at will.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bao Ge immediately flipped over the first card in the top and bottom rows.

The rewards are also very ordinary; the card above simply has an "X" on it, and there are no rewards at all.

Below that, there appeared a basic white cloth armor top with no level restrictions.

When Bao Ge first came across the armor, he was quite excited. However, after looking at its attributes, he immediately realized that it was just a piece of junk and had no value whatsoever.

However, after exiting the dungeon interface and returning to town...

Just as Bao Ge was about to go find Linus to turn in the quest, another window suddenly popped up in the game.

[Monthly pass.]

[Function 1: Daily fatigue points increased from 156 to 188.]

[Feature 2: After clearing a dungeon, you can flip over one card from the second row for free without consuming gold.]

[Feature 3: You can receive one free resurrection coin every day.]

Price: 30 yuan.

After examining the thing closely, Bao Ge's face immediately lit up with surprise:

"Holy crap! Thirty yuan gets you over thirty extra fatigue points every day, plus free card flips, and a free resurrection coin every day!"

"This thing is such a great value! It's even better value than the monthly pass in Plants vs. Zombies!"

"Guys, if you're serious about playing this game, you absolutely have to get the monthly subscription!"

"Everything else is fine, but these extra thirty-odd fatigue points will quickly widen the gap between me and others."

While he was explaining, Brother Bao didn't hesitate to recharge 30 yuan to get a monthly card.

Actually, this thing was the function of the black diamond in Chen Feng's previous life.

Chen Feng simply made it into a monthly card model, which is the same principle, but the price has increased by ten yuan.

Upon hearing Bao Ge's words, the viewers in the live stream couldn't hold back any longer.

[Hahahaha! You bastard, the game just came out and you've been urging us to spend money on it. What's up? Did CEO Chen pay you an endorsement fee? Or did you invest in Fengyun Games, so you get a cut of our spending?]

For just thirty yuan, you get all this stuff; this monthly pass is definitely great value.

Honestly, with Dungeon Fighter Online, you couldn't buy it for less than 400 or 500 yuan from other companies before, but Fengyun gave it to you for free. It's only 30 yuan a month, which is really a good deal.

I'm definitely going to buy it. If I don't, I'll lose 32 fatigue points every day, and the gap will widen in just a few days.

……

Amidst the cheers and laughter of the viewers in the live stream, Brother Bao had already purchased a monthly pass.

Seeing his fatigue level increase from 152/156 to 184/188, Bao Ge smiled with satisfaction.

He was very satisfied with all aspects of the game after playing it for a while.

The only thing I'm a little worried about is that I have too little fatigue points; it's simply not enough to keep me playing.

Now it seems there are quite a few ways to gain fatigue points in this game, including fatigue potions, which can quickly widen the gap between him and ordinary players.

If only that thing could be bought infinitely with money, but right now, apart from the first recharge gift pack, he doesn't know where else to get it.

As he pondered these questions, he walked back to the blacksmith Linus.

Linus smiled again upon seeing Bao Ge's character arrive:

"Brave adventurer, I've heard you've eliminated the threat in the Loran region."

"Oh, please forgive me, at first I doubted your abilities, I thought you wouldn't be coming back."

"It seems you have the ability. Please accept my sincere gratitude. On behalf of the residents of Elwyn Line, I thank you for your help!"

"This is the reward you deserve."

With the completion of Linus's main quest, Bao Ge's experience bar increased by more than half again.

I just reached level three, and in the blink of an eye, I'll be level four soon.

This made Bao Ge even happier.

It seems that leveling up in this game is quite simple, not that difficult.

Little did he know that in the game Dungeon Fighter Online, reaching the maximum level was just the beginning...

The real gameplay begins after reaching the level cap.

After receiving the reward, a brand new exclamation mark appeared above Linus's head once again.

Having learned from his previous experience, Bao Ge easily took a step back and approached Linus again.

"Oh! Respected adventurer, it's a pleasure to see you again."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you with clearing out the threats in the Loran region before, but I may have to trouble you again this time."

"A minotaur has recently appeared deep within Loran. It is incredibly strong, and many adventurers have never returned."

"If you have the courage, you might as well give it a try."

"By the way, I can help you upgrade your weapons. Upgrading weapons can greatly increase your strength. Want to try it?"

While Bao Ge was accepting this new main quest.

Linus has proposed a completely new way to play.

Equipment Enhancement!

This thing is naturally familiar to Brother Bao.

In his opinion, this thing should be similar to the plant cultivation system in the game Plants vs. Zombies that he played before.

It's definitely going to be a very expensive thing.

But this thing is very attractive to Bao Ge.

Isn't this the kind of thing he plays for?

His goal is to widen the gap between himself and ordinary players and become the strongest player in the game!

Without hesitation, he interacted with Linus and entered the equipment enhancement interface.

Following the tutorial, he threw his rusty katana, which he hadn't yet put on, into Linus's enhancement machine.

"Only 66 gold coins for one upgrade? Holy crap! That's incredibly generous?"

I thought the price of the upgrade would be very high.

When Bao Ge saw the amount of gold coins required for the upgrade, he was immediately shocked.

He simply felt the price was too cheap.

Without any further hesitation, he clicked to start the enhancement.

The next second, the red and blue lights on the enhancer began to flash continuously, accompanied by a strange piece of music.

A moment later, a bright light flashed...

[Enhancement successful!]

[Rusty Katana - Rusty Katana +1]

Physical Attack Power +1

[Magic Attack Power +1]
