The equipment room at the side of the dungeon was beginner equipment specially prepared by the school for newcomers.
Lin Lei picked it up and took a look. The equipment wasn't very good. They were all white quality.
Equipment was also graded.
From low to high, they were: ordinary, refined, outstanding, perfect, epic, legendary, supreme, and mythical.
However, the equipment that could be placed in the equipment room was only ordinary.
The truly good equipment could only be obtained in the Catacombs.
After looking around, Lin Lei didn't hesitate too much. He took his staff and shield.
These two pieces of equipment corresponded to the basic weapons of mages and warriors.
[Weapon: Wooden Staff (Normal)]
[Attack Power: 1/2]
[Durability: 30/30]
[Prerequisite: Level 0, Magic]
[Description: With this, you can use magic. Every 10 minutes of battle consumes 1 Durability]
[Weapon: Wooden Shield (Normal)]
[Defense: 1/2]
[Durability: 30/30]
[Prerequisite: Level 0, Warrior]
[Description: It will protect you, but is not reliable. After being attacked ten times, 1 durability point will be depleted.]
…
The effect of the weapon was as Lin Lei had imagined. It wasn't very good, but it was just enough.
Seeing that Lin Lei had chosen them and was holding these two pieces of equipment in his hands, the teacher immediately frowned.
He dissuaded, "Student, you'd better not choose these two pieces of equipment."
Lin Lei understood what he meant, but he still pretended to be innocent. "Teacher, why do you say that?"
The teacher in charge of guarding the dungeon sighed in disappointment.
But he still dutifully explained to Lin Lei, "You can't choose a profession. As an unspecialized person, you have a lot of limitations."
"If you want to form a team in the early stages, it's best to choose the priest's wand."
"Or a thief's dagger."
"It's more appropriate to choose these support weapons and support a team to gain experience."
What this teacher was talking about was also the fighting style of an unspecialized.
Lin Lei wasn't the first person to become unspecialized.
Many people's awakened talents were useless, and many people's negative talent effects were very bad.
There were very few people who could awaken their professional talent without being affected.
Therefore, many students chose to become unspecialized.
However, even if these solo players had a guide, they would not have a good ending.
It would be best if one could survive in some small teams.
But Lin Lei didn't choose the most convenient and fast way that his teacher had mentioned.
He was planning to form a team by himself.
In any case, Lin Lei had the invincible buff [Catacombs Blessing].
There was nothing to be afraid of.
If he teamed up with others, it would easily expose his situation.
Therefore, in the face of his teacher's kind reminder…
Lin Lei only nodded in thanks. "Thank you, Teacher. But I only need these two weapons."
The teacher wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked like he expected better from him.
He had already persuaded Lin Lei to this point, but Lin Lei was still obstinate.
The teacher stopped persuading him.
From the drawer, he took out the basic skill books for mages and warriors and handed them to Lin Lei.
These were all basic skills and were not exclusive to professions.
For example, a mage's Fireball could be learned by both mages and warriors.
However, ordinary people would not specially learn the skills of other professions.
They didn't even have time to upgrade their professional skills.
Learning other occupations was just a waste of time.
Moreover, they had their own team. They only needed to specialize in one thing and leave the rest to their teammates.
In Lin Lei's situation, he had to train himself to be proficient in various professions.
He took the Basic Skill Book and learned it in person.
[Skill Book: Fireball (Normal)]
[Effect: After using it, you will learn a normal skill, Fireball LV1]
[Skill Book: Beginner Sword Technique (Normal)]
[Effect: After using it, you will learn the ordinary skill "Beginner Sword Technique Lv1"]
[Prerequisite: Level 0, Warrior]
…
After Lin Lei received the skill book, he discovered that there was another item inside, so he opened it to take a look.
[Item: Newborn Prairie (Grade E)]
[Effect: Entry ticket to Level E Instance Dungeon, Mirkwood]
[Prerequisite: Level 0-5]
Seeing Lin Lei do this, the teacher couldn't help but shake his head.
He hoped that Lin Lei would be able to leave the dungeon alive.
The probability of an unspecialized being able to survive the dungeon was too low.
And Lin Lei was alone.
After all, he was only a newcomer who had just awakened his talent.
There were quite a number of rookies in the Instance Dungeon. Because they were too afraid, their levels had been cleared to zero.
Everyone in this world had their own levels.
Levels would allow them to increase their strength.
However, every time one died, one would lose a level.
When the level was 0, one would die completely.
Lin Lei walked to the entrance of the pocket dimension. There was a line of words printed on it.
[Newbie Dungeon: Level E Difficulty]
This was the most basic dungeon difficulty and was very suitable for newbies.
However, the cruelty of this world had determined it.
No pie would fall from the sky.
If they failed the dungeon, they would still be punished.
If he failed once, his attributes would permanently decrease by 1.
Moreover, like other dungeons, it would cause people to drop levels.
Lin Lei simply skipped over these introductions.
He was already well aware of this.
Before entering, Lin Lei opened his system interface and checked his attributes.
This was also a precaution.
[Name: Lin Lei]
[Level: 0 (0.00%)]
[Class: None]
[Health: 20] (Constitution x5)
[Mana: 15] (Spirit x5)
[Attributes: Strength 4, Spirit 3, Constitution 4, Agility 5]
[Defense: 8] (Strength + Constitution)
[Talent: Unspecialized, Catacombs Blessing]
[Skills: Fireball (Level 1), Basic Swordsmanship (Level 1)]
After all the checks were completed.
Lin Lei confirmed once more, and took the equipment.
He wanted to put his equipment in the most comfortable and fastest place to take it out.
This way, he would be able to move faster in the instance dungeon.
Moreover, when he encountered monsters, his reactions would be faster.
After experimenting a few times, Lin Lei made minor adjustments.
In the eyes of others, Lin Lei was very rash.
However, he was fully prepared.
After confirming that all the preparations were done,
Lin Lei once more raised his head to glance at the pocket dimension.
This was the beginning of his legend!
Lin Lei took a deep breath and removed all distracting thoughts from his mind.
He recalled the types of Catacombs he would encounter in the novice dungeon.
After confirming it, Lin Lei slowly let out the turbid air in his chest.
He did not hesitate and walked in decisively.
When he entered the Instance Dungeon, the other students around him happened to arrive.
"Did I see wrongly just now? I think I saw Lin Lei enter the dungeon alone."
"I also saw a solo player entering the Instance Dungeon. Could he be an idiot?"
"Even drinking water in an instance dungeon can cause you to choke to death!
If Lin Lei had no experience and died in the dungeon, wouldn't that be sending himself to his death?"
"Who cares? What does it have to do with us if he wants to die alone?"
"Perhaps he couldn't stand the fact that he had awakened his talent as an unspecialized, so he deliberately went in to commit suicide."
"Stop talking. It sounds too pitiful."
Laughter came from the entrance of the pocket dimension.
