A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

A series of notification sounds in Zhou An's ears left him stunned and standing there.

Needless to say, this time I actually obtained an extra rule item, the Power Pickaxe.

The Power Pickaxe has the exact same attributes as the one-time use pickaxe.

However, the difference is that the former exists permanently.

However, no matter what, this was truly a super bumper harvest.

Meanwhile, he has also accumulated four rule blind boxes, including two item boxes and two skill light orbs.

Zhou An, feeling bored, opened all four blind boxes.

[Obtain the rule-based item: Endless Water Jug]

[Obtain the rule-based item: Time Stopper]

[Acquired Rule Skill: Etherealization]

[Gain the rule skill: Immovable Golden Body]

【Endless Water Jug】: Water, ocean, you are all water.

Effect: A rule-based item. The kettle contains pure, endless water that can never be finished no matter how much you pour it.

[Time Stopper]: Time, pause! Don't do anything reckless!

Effect: A rule-based item. Shouting "Time, pause!" will pause time within a ten-meter radius.

Note: The range and duration of the pause depend on the user's strength. Level 1 lasts for one second with a radius of ten meters, Level 2 lasts for two seconds with a radius of twenty meters, and so on.

【Blurring】: Blur, blur, blur, blur in all directions.

Effect: A rule-based skill. Silently reciting the word "ethereal" will allow you to enter an ethereal state. In this state, you do not exist in the real world, are immune to all attacks, and cannot attack others.

Note: Lasts for one minute, cooldown time is one day.

【Immovable Golden Body】：Mahavairocana, the Immovable Golden Body.

Effect: Rule-based skill. When cast, the user becomes invincible, increasing their all-around defense tenfold as long as they stand still.

"This is good stuff!" Zhou An's face immediately lit up with joy.

This time, the unboxing was great.

Both the time stopper and the blurring are very powerful items and skills.

Especially the blurring effect, it's practically an invincible skill.

Although it only lasts for one minute and has a one-day cooldown, Zhou An has the Horse Talisman.

The cooldown will be refreshed directly, which means it can be used indefinitely.

As for the other two, they can only be considered average.

Zhou An didn't mind having too many skills, and directly crushed the light orbs of two rule skills.

"Awakening skill," Zhou An murmured again.

Please select the category of your awakened skill: Attack, Control, Defense, Healing, Elemental, Spirit.

Zhou An began to ponder.

For attack, there is the Dragon Talisman; for defense, there is the Illusion and Immovable Golden Body; and for defense, there are the Horse Talisman and the Dog Talisman.

The elements are controlled by fire, and the spirit by meditation.

It seems that what's missing now is control.

No, if we're talking about control, he also has rule-based skills: inversion, grand entrance, a fall, and even a rule-based prop: the time stopper.

This immediately put Zhou An in a difficult position.

"Let's go with the spirit." Zhou An pondered for a moment and chose the spirit.

Although I've already meditated, it would be good to strengthen it again.

[Gained Skill: Mental Burst]

[Mental Outburst]: Unleash my inner universe!

Effect: A mental skill. After activation, it can gather the three powers of one's own essence, energy, and spirit to form a mental attack on the target.

Note: The power released depends on one's own three-dimensional attributes and the essence, energy, and spirit consumed.

Chapter 137 Dungeon Entry Ticket

"It's a bit of a pity that it's not a rule-based skill," Zhou An couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

But after seeing this attribute, I got excited again.

The burst of essence, energy, and spirit is equivalent to a threefold attack.

Moreover, this is a psychological attack.

Sure enough, the abilities awakened after breaking through a realm, even if they are not rule-based skills, are still very powerful.

With the rewards sorted out, Zhou An's strength increased by another level.

It's already at Tier 4, which means you can level up almost every two dungeons.

"I'll get some sleep tonight, then ask about the situation these past few days, and then go into the dungeon." Zhou An still had a dungeon entry ticket for the Mist Pioneers.

Furthermore, the director of the Beijing General Bureau also agreed to help him collect the dungeon entry tickets.

I reckon they must have collected quite a bit in these ten days.

At that time, Zhou An will be able to enter the dungeon with almost unlimited cooldown, quickly increasing his level.

As I was thinking, a wave of drowsiness washed over me.

Before long, Zhou An fell into a deep sleep.

……

The next morning, Zhou An was woken up by the noise.

"Uncle, uncle, when did you get back? Why didn't you say anything?"

Li Shengsheng pushed the door open and entered, completely disregarding the fact that Zhou An was fast asleep.

"Sheng Sheng, can't you see I'm sleeping?" Zhou An sat up halfway and looked at Li Sheng Sheng with a helpless expression.

"If I hadn't woken up this morning and found that I was stronger again, I really wouldn't have known that Uncle was back."

Li Shengsheng had a smile on her face.

"Get up quickly, I have to go to work," Li Shengsheng urged Zhou An to get up.

"Alright, alright, what's the rush? You go out first, I'll wash up." Zhou An waved his hand.

"What would you like for breakfast? I'll have someone bring it over." Li Shengsheng stepped out the door.

"What's there to send? I have a food tablecloth, have you forgotten?" Zhou An said with a smile.

"Oh, right, I forgot, hehe." Li Shengsheng nodded with a smile.

Zhou An quickly washed up and then went to the living room.

Zhou An took out a food tablecloth and conjured up a lot of delicious breakfast items.

The two of them enjoyed the large table of food immensely.

At the dinner table, Zhou An also asked him if anything had happened during the ten days he had been running the dungeon.

Upon hearing this, Li Shengsheng immediately said indignantly, "Yes, it was last night when a few women were making a scene on the forum and even insulting you."

"These women have all joined the Bureau of Strange Affairs and are saying all sorts of bad things about you. They're a bunch of bitches."

Upon hearing this, Zhou An looked at Li Shengsheng and said, "Shengsheng, who taught you to swear? You never used to curse."

"As for those women, they're nothing but clowns. They must have heard my name in the dungeon."

"In the dungeon, they even wanted me to mine for them for free. Later, I reached a cooperation agreement with the higher-ups at the Soul Iron Mine, which allowed them to benefit from it."

"I never expected them to slander me online." Zhou An's worldview was once again challenged.

Upon hearing this, Li Shengsheng became even angrier: "These stinking women, when I have time, I'll go over there and tear their mouths off."

"It doesn't matter. These people will die in the dungeon sooner or later. Is there anything else major happening?" Zhou An was too lazy to pay attention to those people.

"No, nothing special. I've resolved all the strange incidents as well," Li Shengsheng said.

Actually, there have been quite a few strange events, but overall, they have all been managed to be contained.

Especially with the presence of Li Shengsheng, who is rather abnormal.

Because of the upheaval in Zhou An, Li Shengsheng, as a Spirit Contract Holder, possessed a portion of his strength, making her equally monstrous.

With Li Shengsheng's help, there are almost no strange incidents she can't resolve.

"Mm." Zhou An nodded.

After they finished eating, the two left the dormitory and arrived at the office in just a few minutes.

Although it's called "going to work," there's not actually that much to do.

Miscellaneous tasks and miscellaneous items are handled by designated people; Li Shengsheng only needs to give the final approval.

Li Shengsheng will only personally intervene when encountering tricky and bizarre events, or when high-level players cause trouble.

But Li Shengsheng felt she had too much free time, so she would find some work to do every day.

"By the way, the Beijing headquarters sent over a batch of items that can be used to run dungeons the day before yesterday, they're all here."

Li Shengsheng suddenly remembered something and took the item out of her four-dimensional pocket.

Zhou An was overjoyed upon seeing this.

"Oh, so everything's been delivered. I was just thinking of calling headquarters," Zhou An said with a smile as he took everything over.

He glanced at it and saw that there were about ten dungeon entry tickets.

Surprisingly, there were even two restricted area passes among them.

These are the Third Forbidden Zone Pass and the Tenth Forbidden Zone Pass, respectively.
