Chapter 8 - Clarity

Dungeon requirements have been reached, tabulating results."

  "Your performance has been evaluated as: A phenomenal leader killing demonstration."

  "You have obtained an extra 150 Experience and 50 Integrated Network Coins from the Boss monster."

  "You have obtained a basic reward of 50 Experience Points."

  "You have obtained a total of:

  200 Experience and 50 Integrated Network coins."

  Yi Qiu reached out and took the treasure chest that dropped from the Sadistic Dog-Head Man. He felt that it was much lighter than the last time. It seemed like the pepper spray was really suitable for dealing with slightly weaker beings like the Dog-Head Man.

  Each new solo dungeon would reset after 7 days. During this period he couldn't challenge new dungeons but for dungeons that he had already cleared, he could challenge them once a day after they reset. 

  The Dog-Head Man didn't have any especially valuable items but what attracted Yi Qiu was the golden colored stones scattered all around the ground. It was what the pangolin had carried Yi Qiu picked one up and used the candle to give himself some light. He felt that it wasn't a gold mine as a large portion of the ones were gold, it did look more like fool's gold. However, Yi Qiu still picked up a few to place in his bag. After all, he didn't understand much about stones.

  He was too lazy to kill the remaining Dog-Head Men that escaped and chose to leave the dungeon instead. After the familiar dizzy feeling, Yi Qiu returned to his room. The experience he had was not enough for him to level up. However, he had earned enough Integrated Network Coins to activate Heyu's Blood.

  Bloodline Material - Heyu's Blood:

  Quality: White

  Origin: Shan Mountain.

  Keywords: Pig, bloodline, flood

  Bloodline Property: Power (White), Calamity (Green)

  Description: This is a drop of fresh blood from Heyu. You can spend a certain amount of Integrated Network Coins to merge with it. After merging, there is a chance for you to obtain the power or ability of Heyu.

  'Prayer!" The 7 day cooldown period was over. Yi Qiu opened his phone and opened the app Onmyoji and started to scroll. After 3 SRs appeared, he chose to merge with the blood.

  "Will you merge with the blood - Heyu's Blood? It will consume 100 Integrated Network Coins to merge with this blood."

  "Yes."

  "Consumed 100 Integrated Network Coins, beginning merging of blood."

  There weren't any intense reactions. Along with a warm feeling, Heyu's Blood in Yi Qiu's bag disappeared.

  "You have successfully merged with Heyu's Blood, obtaining strength increase."

  "You have obtained strength value, 1 point of Strength increase."

  "You have successfully merged with Heyu's Blood, obtaining Bloodline Ability - Clarity."

  Clarity (Rare): The calamity element in your blood has caused you to mutate, you can sense calamity that affects you. 

  Effect: You can check your own Luck stat.

  "Not bad." Yi Qiu thought about it. This ability seemed like it could help him save some testing time. However, the most important thing was that 1 point in Strength. Now Yi Qiu's Strength was already 12, he could openly shout that he wanted to fight 10 people, of course, the location of which would be limited to the entrance of the kindergarten. Strength 2 times that of normal people wasn't too outstanding on earth. Out of a few billion people, there were definitely some weird freaks that made one tongue-tied.

  However, Yi Qiu was still quite pleased. It seemed like for him to make a comeback in life, he had to add Luck stats. However, what if it backfired...?

  He made use of the time when he still had the buff to check his own Luck stat. He had 11 points which he felt was decent. Then, he opened the chest that the Dog-Head Man had dropped.

  Sadistic Dog-Head Man's minestone bag:

  Origin: Barren Gold Mine (Simple difficulty, Hard difficulty, Elite difficulty)

  Quality: White

  Related phrases: Mine item

  Description: From the cheapest copper ore to the expensive gold ore... 

You can obtain anything that the Dog-Head Man could get. However, maybe you need to be a little lucky?

  "Will you open the Dog-head Man's bag?"

  "Yes."

  "You have obtained a small piece of gold ore."

  Small piece of gold ore:

  Quality: Clutter

  Weight: 0.675 kg

  Description: Nothing is eternal, even a God far above is not, but in the eyes of a merchant, one thing is eternal and that is gold! No matter where one is, gold can be used as currency. Of course, the prerequisite is that the person dealing with you can understand what coins and currency means.

  Yi Qiu compared the ore that he took with the gold ore he had just obtained. He felt that what he got should be something like fool's gold. However, even after thinking about it he didn't toss it. He could just appraise it. If it was valuable, then this Barren Gold Mine would seem much more valuable. After all, he might not get gold ore each time but the pangolin would carry a bunch of ore every time.

  The increase to 12 points of Strength caused Yi Qiu to feel proud. However, after thinking about it, he chose to enter the easy difficulty pumpkin field. If one could follow their heart, they should follow their heart. Now he could enter the pumpkin field every day. Currently, wasting one day would be unbearable torture for Yi Qiu.

  Dungeon: Pumpkin Field that a wild boar ravaged

  Challenge Level: 1

  Dungeon difficulty: Easy

  Dungeon completion demands: Kill the Brown Tooth Boar that ravages the pumpkin field

  He faced the Brown Tooth Boar once more. This time he didn't feel nervous. Although he still felt instinctive fear when he saw a 2-meter tall being charge at him, he was now filled with fighting intent.

  "Xiu." No matter how strong his body was, he had to follow the good traditions of his ancestors. To control the first wave was much needed.

  "Ang!" The pepper spray successfully blinded the Brown Tooth Boar. Yi Qiu dodged the crazy charge, taking a javelin and tossing!

  "Pu!" Although Yi Qiu wasn't accurate, the Brown Tooth Boar was huge. Yi Qiu was not far away too which was why he successfully stuck the javelin into the boar's hairy back. 12 points in Strength meant that the javelin tossed was easily able to pierce through the thick skin. In the end, it pierced half through!

  "Ang!" With such a thick thing that pierced into its body, the Brown Tooth Boar gave out a tragic and painful cry.

  Yi Qiu didn't get close but just followed the Brown Tooth Boar from behind. Yi Qiu guessed that the Brown Tooth Boar had at least 15 points of Strength. Its physique wasn't low either. Its weakness was its agility. It couldn't turn its head when it was running and it was unable to react when its back was attacked too. As long as one dodged one wave of its attack, then it couldn't fight back at all.

  Of course, the prerequisite was that one had to blind it first.

  Once the Brown Tooth Boar was a little tired, Yi Qiu didn't wait for it to stop and just tossed another javelin.

  "Pu!" This time it wasn't accurate, stabbing onto its fat butt, but the angle caused it to pierce through its left leg. After a loud "hong", the Brown Tooth Boar fell to the ground.

  Yi Qiu took out a javelin, putting the Brown Tooth Boar out of its misery. As compared to the failure of his first try and the second try when he could only sneak attack it when it was digging into the ground, this time was much smoother. 

  "You have slain Brown Tooth Boar, you have obtained 15 Experience Points."

  "Dungeon completion requirements reached, tabulating results."

  "The evaluation of your results are clear: one example of a successful adventure."

  "You have obtained 100 Experience Points and 100 Integrated Network Coins."

  "You have obtained the basic reward of 50 Experience Points."

  "You have obtained a total of:

  150 Experience Points and 100 Integrated Network Coins."
