Chapter 3

“How is that possible? Stop dreaming. Hurry up and prepare to enter the dungeon.” His teammates beside him looked like they couldn’t believe it.

Unlike the monsters in the wild, the strength of the monsters in the dungeon was more average. Moreover, with the protection of the rules, death in the dungeon would not really mean death. Instead, one would be teleported out of the dungeon and receive a penalty for not being able to enter for 24 hours. There would be no EXP penalty within Level 10.

If you leave the dungeon, the penalty will be halved and you will not be able to enter for 12 hours.

Dungeons were also divided into Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and so on…

The current novice dungeon was level iron, the easiest difficulty in North City. But to be honest, even so, most students would still take it seriously. After all, this was related to his results for the university entrance examination. The examination time was set to be within 72 hours, so students did not dare to take the risk easily. If they couldn’t enter again within 24 hours, wouldn’t the gains outweigh the losses?

Regarding this point, the teachers in school also emphasized that newbie dungeons must choose a good team and not act rashly.

However, Lin Mo’s situation did not allow him to find a team. With a Black Iron Rank talent, no one would allow such trash to enter the team. He did not doubt the students ‘information network at all. A useless talent like him had long been blacklisted by various teams.

Instead of seeking humiliation, it was better to farm alone.

The warriors still had an advantage in the early stages, which was high HP and high defense! As long as he was careful and used the Divine Weapon Blade, a super god-level passive skill, Lin Mo was confident that he could take a gamble.

He disappeared at the entrance of the dungeon. He felt a flash before his eyes and entered the dungeon.

It was late at night in the dark sky. However, there was a village behind him, and it was lit up by a fire.

” We’ve finally sent reinforcements. Village Chief, come quickly! ” A young man with a face full of dust and dirt saw Lin Mo and hurriedly shouted to the village.

Not long after, an old man in his seventies opened the village gate excitedly and grabbed Lin Mo’s hand. “Finally, the village is saved!”

“If they don’t come, we won’t be able to survive!”

“Elder, please speak slowly.”

“Sigh…”

The village chief sighed and said that Goblins had been causing trouble in the village for the past ten days. In the beginning, the Goblins only stole livestock and did not harm the villagers. But gradually, the number of goblins increased. When they reached a certain scale, they began to attack the villagers!

“Ding! Instance Dungeon quest ‘Defend the Village’ has been released. Please open the interface to check the details!” A notification sounded.

Lin Mo opened the mission panel and understood after looking at it in detail.

[Mission: Protect the village]

[Difficulty: Simple]

[Number of times: 0/10]

[Introduction: You are the hope of the village. Please stop the goblins and protect them!]

Lin Mo’s current identity was the reinforcement given by the dungeon. He needed to help the village resist the ten goblin attacks.

Every year, the contents of the instance dungeon would be refreshed. However, the overall content was about the same. Lin Mo had done his homework beforehand and knew what he would face next.

“Don’t worry, Village Chief. Leave this to me. You guys can just hide in the village.”

“But…”

Village Chief turned to look around and asked blankly, “”Are you the only one who came to support us?”

“Yes!”

” Then it’s over. The heavens really want to destroy Carefree Village! ”

“…”

Looking at the crazy village chief, Lin Mo was speechless. What kind of NPC was this? They hadn’t even started fighting yet and they were already complaining.

However, he was too lazy to argue with him. After coaxing and pushing the village chief and the others into the village, he began to prepare for the first wave of goblin attacks.

According to the information from previous years, the first wave was to give the rookies a chance to try their hands. The difficulty was very low.

Lin Mo looked at the countdown timer above his field of vision and gripped his Basic Warrior longsword tightly.

“Roar!”

When the countdown reached zero, a sharp roar sounded. A Goblin slowly walked out of the forest with a broken wooden stick.

[Name: Goblin]

[Level: Level 1]

[HP: 150]

[Skill: Heavy Strike]

…

As expected of a monster in a newbie dungeon. It could be said that there was almost no difficulty at all.

However, Lin Mo did not let his guard down.

There was only one Goblin in the first wave. Apart from giving special treatment to newcomers, it was more because he was a lone wolf.

A normal five-man team would face three Goblins in the first wave.

As soon as the goblins appeared, their target was Lin Mo, who was standing at the entrance of the village. However, their slow movements made them look like they were on a vacation.

During this period, Lin Mo had already started calculating the damage. His current Strength was 16 points. With the help of the Divine Weapon Broken Blade, he could ignore physical and magic defense, so he could directly deal 32 damage to the goblin!

If he used the skill Chop, he could further increase the damage.

In other words, he needed three attacks to take it down!

“It’s almost done. Five more steps and you’ll be within my attack range.”

The goblins were getting closer and closer. Lin Mo held his longsword and was ready to attack at any time.

“Walala!”

The goblins raised their wooden sticks and took a big step forward excitedly. Their speed increased significantly. If it was a newbie, he would definitely be shocked. However, Lin Mo had already predicted that the goblins would make this move, so he made the first move.

Slash!

As the basic attack skill of a Warrior, Chop did not deal much damage in the early stages, but it was very useful. A very short backswing only required good control of the release distance. He would be able to hit his target first!

“Swoosh!”

“-117!”

A blood-red number appeared above the goblin’s head, but Lin Mo looked as if he had seen a ghost. It wasn’t because of the damage, but because the moment the Basic Warrior’s sword slashed down, it easily cut off the Goblin’s arm and even injured its abdomen. The dark green blood mixed with the various internal organs was simply unobstructed.

The effect of this attack was a critical hit with extremely high damage!

“How perverted.”

Only now did Lin Mo realize how powerful the Divine Weapon Broken Blade was. It could actually cut through the most basic warrior’s sword like it was mud! Under normal circumstances, the strength of a monster’s flesh and bones was astonishing. It was very difficult for a monster of the same level to cause the effect of breaking a limb. However, Lin Mo had easily done it!

“Kaka ~ Ah!”

The injured Goblin lay on the ground and struggled frantically. It had completely lost its ability to attack.

Lin Mo didn’t waste any time and directly took the first kill!

“Ding! You have killed a Goblin, experience points +10!”

“Ding! You have leveled up to LV2 and received 3 free attribute points!”

[Reminder: The second round of goblin invasion will arrive in five minutes. If you are ready, you can skip the waiting time in the mission panel!]
