Chapter 8: Bat Cave

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The fourth, fifth, and sixth floors of the treasure building were designated as vegetable markets for ability users. There were meat on the fourth floor, vegetables on the fifth floor, and fruits on the sixth floor.

“Boss, how much is this toothed pork chop?”

“Three thousand five hundred dollars per catty. This one weighs more than hundred and twenty catties. I’ll count it as a hundred and twenty catties for you.”

“Okay, wrap it up for me.”

A pork chop cost about 400,000 dollars, and then he went to buy more than 100,000 pieces of spiritual rice, some vegetables that were fried together with the toothed pork, and some fruits after the meal. He spent about a million dollars in total.

Lin Xuan grinned. He never expected that he would be able to spend money this quickly.

He put all the bags of food worth more than a million dollars into his personal card. When Lin Xuan advanced to the low level yellow rank, his personal card automatically opened up a small space that could hold items that contained spiritual energy.

As for the rest of the money, Lin Xuan did not put it in his savings account. He spent it all. The two million dollars was used to buy ten bottles of body tempering medicine, and three hundred thousand dollars was used to buy a low level yellow rank refined Tang Dao Card. freew(e)bnove(l)

The remaining one hundred thousand dollars was donated to his former orphanage.

In the end, he was left with nothing!

The treasure building was indeed worthy of being the legendary money-squandering place, Lin Xuan experienced it first hand.

However, it didn’t matter, as the saying goes, if ability users can spend money, they can also earn money.

The dungeon building was where ability users earned their money!

......

Just now, Lin Xuan’s guide had already brought Lin Xuan to the dungeon building. The first floor was the ability user certification hall. There weren’t any other functions here, it was just to do the ability certification for students who had just become ability users.

Lin Xuan was also not clear about this. The first time he came here, he should have entered through the dungeon door, then carried out the ability authentication and obtained the ability user identification. Yet, he wanted to do other things first.

The second floor was the mission hall, or the low level yellow rank mission hall. It was mainly responsible for issuing and authenticating low level yellow rank missions.

The third floor was the low level yellow rank dungeon hall. There were many teleportation doors inside, all of them were low level yellow rank dungeon spaces.

The fourth and fifth floors belonged to the medium level yellow rank area, while the sixth and seventh floors belonged to the high level yellow rank area.

“Hello, I’m here to pick up a quest. Are there any monsters with a higher quantity but slightly weaker attacks?”

“Hello, sir. This Bat Cave has a quest to collect night illumination sand, there’s a Flower Tree World quest to obtain ten thousand flower nectar, and an Ant Cave quest to steal ore... which one do you think is suitable for you?”

The underground route of the Ant Cave was complicated. For people like Lin Xuan, who could not distinguish between east, west, south, and north. It might be the best option for him so he passed on that.

The Flower Tree World’s mission was to collect flower nectar, but this mission required him to not harm the honey-gathering bees. Every time a honey-gathering bee gets harmed, the taste of the honey would decrease by one point. On the other hand, Lin Xuan’s all-purpose attack was passive... so he had to pass.

The Bat Cave was to collect night illumination sand. There were countless bats in the Bat Cave, and there was no limit to killing them. There was a large amount of night illumination sand to collect at the end of the path. His quest has been decided!

“I’d like to accept the Bat Cave’s quest.”

“This is your mission voucher. You can use it to collect night illumination sand.”

After receiving the mission voucher, Lin Xuan went straight to the third floor and paid the 200 dollars maintenance fee for the teleportation array. He then entered the Bat Cave.

[You have entered the low level yellow rank dungen Bat Cave.]

The school’s dungeon was different from the ability user guild’s dungeon. One was completely under control, and the core inside had been modified, with all kinds of plugins installed. Upon entering, one would receive rattan armor, a small round shield, and an Armor Manipulation skill level 1.

As for the Ability Guild User’s dungeon space, it was just a normal normal dungeon space. There were no equipment or skills, only endless monsters.

In front of him was a pitch-black underground tunnel, and behind him was the entrance. There was no way out, and the entire dungeon was a cave.

He took out the torches that the guild had given him and lit them up. The warm light lit up the entire cave.

Above his head, there were numerous bats hanging upside down on the rock walls. From time to time, a bat would fly away.

The ground that Lin Xuan was standing on was covered with a layer of fine sand that was emitting fluorescent light. These were actually the night illumination sand he had to collect. In reality, this mission was to collect bat feces. The higher the quality, the better. Quantity was not that important.

The deeper one goes, the stronger the bats would become. If the bats at the entrance of the cave were just the most ordinary bats, then in the deepest part of the cave, there would be tens of thousands of higher leveled bats.

The Bat Cave was known as one of the three forbidden areas of the low level yellow rank dungeons.

Walking in a straight line along the cave, Lin Xuan held his torch and walked forward silently. To be honest, before he entered, he was thinking about how he could be happily enjoying himself in the Bat Cave. Countless bats came over to attack him, but they couldn’t do anything to him. I

However, something went wrong the deeper he walked in.

Lin Xuan was confident that those ordinary bats couldn’t hurt him, but what about those low level yellow rank bat monsters? Could they kill him?

“Oh no…”

He accidentally stepped onto a skeleton! Causing it to break into a million pieces and before the skeleton died, it let out a terrifying wail!

The bats on the ceiling of the cave began to stir!

Without saying a word, Lin Xuan charged in. Regardless of whether he was dead or alive this time, he had to get what he wanted before everything turned to sh*t.

The disturbance of the wail caused a domino like effect, more and more bats began to flutter around the cave. Furthermore, Lin Xuan no longer concealed the sound of his footsteps and began to sprint crazily towards the deepest part of the cave, his footsteps had also attracted the bats along the way to attack him.

At the deepest part of the Bat Cave was an abandoned sacrificial square. The square was very large, and there was a ray of moonlight shining directly on the sacrificial altar through the crevices of the rock ceiling. It looked beautiful and full of mystery.

Lin Xuan directly charged into the sacrificial square. What was surprising was that the bats chasing after Lin Xuan stopped, forcefully stopping at the edge of the square, as if there was some terrifying existence that intimidated them.

There was a reason why the Bat Cave was known as the forbidden ground. No matter which low level yellow rank ability user came in, it would be impossible for them to kill all the monsters in one go.

Moreover, up until now, Lin Xuan had not seen any other low level yellow rank bat monsters. Perhaps they were here?

The tiles of the square had patterns that Lin Xuan could not understand. The pillars that were built in all directions did not seem to be a good sign either. Sharp spikes protruded out, and there was a pair of shackles hanging on them. They were either punishment pillars or sacrificial pillars.

The closer he got to the altar, the more Lin Xuan could smell something copper like. It was the smell of blood, and it was getting stronger.

Suddenly, a lud bang ensued!

A trap?!

He maanged to step on a hollow brick! fr eeweb novel

Lin Xuan could not tell that there was a trap on this brick at all. With a step, the brick was instantly shattered. Lin Xuan stumbled backward and fell. In that instant, his life flashed across when he shut his eyes. Oddly enough, after ten seconds, nothing happened!

It seemed that the mechanism was so old that it did not work anymore.

Lin Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that he was alive. After that incident, he reminded himself that he had to be more weary with where he went.

However, in a corner of the square, a large group of low level yellow rank bat monsters heard the sound of the brick breaking and flew towards Lin Xuan.
