Chapter 14: The First Dungeon Challenge

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sizzle sizzle!

A loud noise came from the computer stereo.

Li Song sat on the sofa and looked at the digital clock on the bed.

[00: 00]

Time did not turn back.

“So, the starting point of the dungeon is my home?”

Li Song thought about it and had an idea.

Bull Two was extremely excited.

Spatial magic! It’s back!

Great!

I knew it! Master is indeed a Space Mage!

Of course, Li Song did not know what Bull Two was thinking. He put it into the Tamed Beast Space and was about to leave.

[Ding!]

[Mission: Kill all Rock Tossing Lizards and save as many lives as possible in the Huimin Residential Area.]

A voice sounded in his mind. On the dungeon panel, a mission was given.

“Tsk, did it change?”

Li Song remembered very clearly that his initial design did not have such a function. After all, that would involve too many things. It was equivalent to creating a game system himself.

However, since the items in the warehouse had disappeared and so many cheats had been self-deleted, it was not surprising for the Instance Dungeon cheat to have some additional functions.

He leaped out of the window and landed on the ground with a few swift actions.

He dashed toward the Huimin Residential Area like a gust of wind. Everything was the same as before. However, after he leveled up, Li Song’s speed became faster.

He tried his best and kept calculating the time in his mind.

Compared to when he was at Level 8, Level 9 saved him nearly a minute. He did not need to check the surveillance footage anymore, which saved him almost a minute and a half as well.

This should save more people!

However, he had also managed to detect some information regarding the [Instance Dungeon]. It was just like now. The surroundings were quiet. It was far from the liveliness when the sounds of guns and cannons rang out in reality.

Clearly, [Instance Dungeon] did not create a parallel space. It only created what Li Song had experienced and seen.

On the other side, the situation was the same as before.

25 Rock Tossing Lizards were still wreaking havoc in the Huimin Residential Area. Boulders were thrown and bombarded as residential buildings collapsed. Human cries could be heard continuously.

Broken limbs, blood, howls, and wails formed a scene of hell on Earth.

Just like before, the transformer exploded after being hit by the huge rock, producing huge flames. Electricity sizzled and sparks flew.

Everything fell into darkness.

However, unlike before, when the transformer exploded, Li Song had already arrived at the street corner of Huimin Residential Area. All the lights instantly dimmed and turned dark.

This time, as usual, there was no need for Li Song to say anything more. Bull Two rushed into the district like a war chariot and quickly killed the Rock Tossing Lizards.

One punch was enough to shatter a Rock Tossing Lizard’s head.

The voice that stated he had gained experience points sounded again.

[EXP+50!]

As for Li Song, he charged towards the first Rock Tossing Lizard he had killed in real life.

Click.

As usual, it was the script from before. After leaping up, Li Song broke its neck. The sound of the neck breaking was indeed beautiful. Li Song threw its body to the side and turned to look in front of him.

There, a man breathed weakly. His chest rose and fell slightly while blood stained his entire chest. He looked at Li Song with slightly open eyes.

His mouth opened slightly as if he wanted to say something.

At the next moment, his chest stopped heaving, and he finally took his last breath.

Li Song turned around and looked in the direction that the man had pointed out. A woman’s body was revealed in the rubble of the wall behind the huge cannonball.

He was not too emotional. After all, this was the second time he saw the same scene.

Even on the first night of the apocalypse, he had already expected such a scene and had mentally prepared himself.

In such a world, strength was everything. Everything was piled up into a high wall. When the wall collapsed, he could only blame himself for not being strong enough to stop it and there was nothing else to blame.

It was a pity.

Li Song shook his head. Although it was much faster than the first time, he was still a step slower.

Li Song tossed the corpse of the Rock Tossing Lizard into the warehouse and flashed out.

In his mind, he thought of the man’s mouth which opened slightly.

“Maybe next time.”

“I’ll definitely let you finish what you want to say next time.”

Li Song thought to himself.

Just like in the previous script, it did not take long for all 25 Rock Tossing Lizards to die.

Bang!

When the last Rock Tossing Lizard died, the mechanical voice in his mind sounded again.

[Ding!]

[End of Instance Dungeon!]

[Total Time Spent: 9 minutes 15 seconds]

[People Rescued: 17]

[People Died: 1]

[Evaluation: C grade]

[No reward, 50% of gains in the Instance Dungeon automatically deducted, 25 Rock Tossing Lizards]

[Converted to 60 Experience Crystals]

Li Song: ????

What’s wrong with you? I didn’t make the program like this!

There was even a deduction?

However, the number of people saved should be preventing those who died in the real world from dying again. As for the number of people who died, it could be those who did not deserve to die, but died in the instance dungeon.

After all, humans were not machines. It was impossible to replicate all the actions in reality. There would always be accidents.

The next moment, in a daze, Bull Two and Li Song appeared in the living room.

They were covered in blood again.

After washing up once more, Li Song began to count the loot from this instance dungeon.

In addition to the 60 Experience Crystals, he now had a total of 190 EXP stored. The purchasing power was naturally sufficient. Li Song was prepared to exchange it for other materials once the restriction order was lifted.

The trading function in [System Forum] could also ensure fairness and privacy.

After killing 25 Rock Tossing Lizards, he gained 1000 experience points again.

Current experience points: Level 9 (1015/5000)

He was getting closer and closer to Level 10. He would probably need another four times before he could level up.

This was not considered slow.

If it was anyone else, they would probably need nearly a month to achieve it.

However, as the monsters that were released became stronger and stronger, the EXP would also become higher, and this time needed would also decrease.

However, Li Song would always be ahead of everyone, including the monsters that were released. Thus, the experience he gained would be reduced.

It was fine now when he was still trying to reach Level 10.

But after reaching Level 10, the amount of experience points obtained would be reduced again. After the difference in level was too great, the experience points would only decrease even more.

“I’m afraid I’ll have to leave the city when the bottleneck period comes.”

“Otherwise, at this speed, it would be impossible to reach the stage where I can rival the Thunder Falcon King within three months!”

Li Song thought very clearly about this.

After reaching Level 10, it also held a very important significance to the Beast Tamer.

It would greatly increase their survival ability.
