Lin Jie looked at Silver Shield with amusement. This was really a coincidence as they had not met for a long time since the Town of Meyer.

Silver Shield shouted as if he had seen a prodding ghost, “It was you who caused me to be ruled out from the elite team, I’m gonna kill… err…”

Silver Shield reacted quickly upon realizing sharply that something was wrong. Boss’ original words were “come over here as the Savage Blade team is short of hands’. In other words, these people all belonged to Brotherhood! So this fellow…

Cold sweat streamed down Silver Shield’s forehead.

Lin Jie smiled and asked, “Silver Shield, what are your attributes?”

Silver Shield replied seriously, “610 Defense, 2,300 HP, and 19% Block!”

As a Shield Specialist, he only needed to tell Lin Jie his Defense, Health Points, and Block. Looking at Silver Shield’s performance, Lin Jie could not help but smile. He waved and said, “Before you enter the dungeon, I have to make sure that you’re mentally prepared.

“We might need to spend up to a month for the Epidemic Pond!”

“What???” Everyone was shocked. A dungeon needed to attack for such a long time? It was unimaginable but very credible when it came out of Lin Jie’s mouth. Was the difficulty level of the dungeon really that high?

Lin Jie explained, “Epidemic Pond is different from other dungeons. Technically, there is only one Boss, Venom Lei Zhika, in the dungeon. A level 30 Overlord Boss which has 600,000 HP.”

Qiu Yuan blinked her eyes. “600,000 HP? We could kill it in half an hour if we attack with our best damage output.”

“Strictly speaking, that’s the case.” Lin Jie said solemnly, “It’s no use talking about it now. Let’s enter the dungeon and experience the strength of the Boss first.”

“Okay!”

Everyone was nervous because of Lin Jie’s serious look.

At the entrance of the Epidemic Pond, Commander Tyrese of War of Light rode the Holy Light Warhorse. With a gloomy face, she gnashed her teeth and said, “Lei Zhika was one of the superior Potioneer of Potioneers’ Association, but he became the slave of the dark now. Warriors, kill him! If you can, please bring his potions and formulae out and I’ll award you with extra rewards.”

Ding~

—”You have accepted the dungeon mission [The Fallen Potioneer].”

Tyrese looked at Lin Jie and asked, “The warriors, who you pick, are willing to help as your capabilities are insufficient to fight the Boss.”

This meant that players could choose NPCs to help them attack the dungeon.

Lin Jie shook his head and said, ” No need, thanks.”

“Good luck.” Tyrese did not insist and stepped aside.

The Heavenly Shield approached him and whispered, “Fu Sheng, the help of NPCs can’t be underestimated in the dungeon! And there’s a chance of getting extra missions! Why don’t you accept her offer?”

“You’ll know later.” Lin Jie smiled and did not answer the question directly. At this point in time, pretending to be mysterious was the best choice. He could provoke a dispute if he talked about future events.

A foul smell came directly to their faces when they entered the dungeon.

The Epidemic Pond was as disgusting as its name suggested. It was a giant laboratory with numerous bookshelves densely packed with pale black books. However, all kinds of human skulls, organs, and viscera were casually placed on the counters. There was even a half dissected body placed on a high platform with its stomach opened, the bloody smell attracted a cloud of bloodthirsty flies to feed on it. In the middle of the lab, there was a huge epidemic fountain bubbling with yellow and green water, occasionally, a corroded skull would float up, which made it even more disgusting!

“Damn, this designer is so sick.” Goosebumps kept falling down from Zheng Ziliang’s body as he cursed. The rest of them had similar reactions, even Mixed Breathless and The Heavenly Shield who were fearless MTs started shivering.

The first hurdle of the Epidemic Pond was this bloody and ghostly environment! If the players were not determined, they would definitely be frightened at first sight upon entering the dungeon. Fortunately, all of them had good mental fortitude. They tried to self-comfort themselves while scolding the designer, and everyone managed to calm down after a full half-hour.

This result was beyond Lin Jie’s expectation. In his previous life, the unknown team which he had been in boasted without shame that they would enter the Epidemic Pond and get the first clear. However, the several big men had peed on their pants and crawled out crying the moment after they had gotten in.

The horrible design of the Epidemic Pond caused the players’ dissatisfaction immediately. The official website was full of posts denouncing that the game was inhumane. Among them, Dumb Fox was the most furious because the legendary MT Inksnow of Triumphant Midnight was a girl. She could deal with monsters such as skeletons, zombies, and black dragons easily, but when it came to the half-rotten monsters, she would lose her fighting power completely. She had made dozens of stupid mistakes in the fight and finally killed a wave of small monsters. After that, she had just cried out loud and gone off the line straight away.

Without the MT, how could they continue fighting?

Lin Jie was glad that in his team, the MTs were all men! Not only that, there were a few women in the team too. The so-called “mixed-gender does not work tiredly together” did not mean that the men were really not tired, but they just did not dare to speak up!

The Heavenly Shield, Mixed Breathless took a deep breath with Silver Shield, whose legs were still trembling. After trying their best to adapt to this scene, which had overturned their world, they raised their shields and took in front of the team.

There was a feeble shadow hiding in a corner of the lab. Everyone frowned upon seeing his appearance as his skin was festered with half of his rotten eyeball hanged over his face.

This was Venom Lei Zhika!

Surprisingly, Baili Changcheng was the first in the team who could not stand the environment and retched badly. Facing these bodies, he tried his best to withstand them. But thinking of attacking the Boss whose sticky body fluid could stick on his face at any time during the short-distance attack, he had a breakdown.

“I’m… sorry. Give me a minute, just a minute will do.” Baili Changcheng stretched out a finger and tried hard to adapt to this hell-like map.

Zheng Ziliang slapped his head out of a sudden and said, “Damn, I almost forgot that I have something which will come in handy!”

Lin Jie was shocked as only Sub-Legendary Engineers could create equipment to change the environment! Could Zheng Ziliang have made a breakthrough during the past one day of studying the EXP Guide? This was hardly possible!

Unexpectedly, Zheng Ziliang dug out a few pairs of spectacles from his bag!

Spectacles…!

“Cough, cough, the intention of creating the spectacles was to help the blind people, but definitely not for personal use…” He took out two pairs of spectacles and gave them to Lin Jie and Baili Changcheng.

[Type IV Pure Spectacles]: Created by player Zheng Ziliang and is unregistered at the Engineering Association.

The Living job players such as Engineers, Potioneers, and Blacksmiths could be rewarded with a large amount of proficiency, EXP, and other items by registering their newly created equipment for a patent at the Association. It was not difficult to register, according to Lin Jie’s experience. Why was this item unregistered?

Baili Changcheng was at the edge of mental breakdown. He quickly grabbed the spectacles and wore them.

“This… This…” His eyes were covered by the spectacles. While glancing the puzzled crowd, his nose slowly bled.

Lin Jie frowned and put on the spectacles. He then shivered when he looked at Bu Yi subconsciously…’Damn, it’s a pair of perspective spectacles!’ The robe covering Bu Yi’s body had disappeared under the effect of the spectacles. What Lin Jie could see was her cute and beautiful body, soft and flat stomach, slender waist, and huge… OMG, this was so ‘pure’!

“What the hell is this? Modify it!” Lin Jie grabbed Baili Changcheng’s spectacles, stuffed it fiercely in Zheng Ziliang’s hands and said angrily, “Hurry up!”

Baili Changcheng shook his head with pity and found that Lin Jie was trying to hide his spectacles at a glance. ‘Damn, this selfish fellow!’ He grabbed the spectacles from Lin Jie and threw them to Zheng Ziliang and said righteously, ” We care about moral integrity, chastity, and sentiment because we have nobility! This kind of filth is simply insulting our eyes, isn’t it, Fu Sheng?”

Looking at his empty hands, Lin Jie glared at Baili Changcheng fiercely.

Zheng Ziliang cried with a mournful face, “It’s such a pity to modify it, I only have 3 pairs of them…”

The puzzled Qiu Yuan went forward and asked them while stretching out her arm, “What’s that? Show it to me.”

“Modify!” Three men spoke with one voice. As Zheng Ziliang took apart a pile of the components neatly and quickly, the spectacles were modified to ordinary beautifying spectacles. Its principle was similar to beauty cameras which could beautify the things they saw.

Qiu Yuan, who was holding the modified spectacles, said with a smiley face, “This is good! But you only have 3 pairs? I believe the three of you are grown men who don’t need these! Give them to us as we’re just three little women!”

Baili Changcheng was stunned and almost cried out, “Big sister, please give me a pair…”

“Am I old?” Qiu Yuan said angrily.

“No, no, you’re the youngest. Young lady, please give me a pair…”

“Who’s young?” Qiu Yuan said angrily as she lifted up her heavy chest proudly.

“No… I mean…” Baili Changcheng was at the edge of crying out.

Qiu Yuan put a pair of spectacles in Baili Changcheng’s hands and chuckled. “Just kidding! Here you go. I’ll give the rest to my wife and Netherblue, any problems?”

Zheng Ziliang said with concern, “Do you need me to create another pair for you now? It would only take 20 minutes.”

Qiu Yuan waved her small fists and snorted. “My immunity has maxed a long time ago as I’ve been teaming up with you every day.”

In the Savage Blade team, the girls were fully prepared as they had no psychological pressure after putting on the spectacles. (Qiu Yuan should be considered as a man in this case.)

“Do we fight the Boss directly in this dungeon?” Mixed Breathless looked at the Boss, which huddled up in the corner, and asked.

“Yes, but there’s no rush.” Lin Jie waved his hands and said, “I have to explain to you the meaning behind this before we start fighting.”

“First of all, a large number of small monsters and the Boss will definitely be involved during the fight in a dungeon, and the trigger to this will be concentrated in the Boss. Under the most common scenario, a wave of monsters would be summoned when there’s a certain drop in the value of the Boss’ health points.

“Secondly, as there’s only one Boss, its health points will be restored to full if our party was wiped-out. In other words…

“In other words, our progress will be restored to 0, and we have to start all over again if we were wiped-out!”
