************************

Li Shuning spent all her time on the instances. When she got hungry in the middle, she went offline to eat and rest, then returned to the game to continue the dungeon.

When her Storage Bag was full, she went back to the village, stored her items in the warehouse, and then returned to the dungeon again.

Looking at the stacks of Firefly Blue Stones in the warehouse, Li Shuning smiled.

Firefly Blue Stones can stack up to 9999, and now she already has over fifty stacks.

She glanced at the Level 20 Dark Gold Weapon and Clothes in the Storage Bag, considered for a moment, and started refining immediately.

The game’s Hammering System allows equipment to be refined up to 10 hammers, but during the process, failing before 8 hammers can result in dropping hammers. After 8 hammers, failure could destroy the equipment, and if not destroyed, it falls back to 0 hammers directly.

The success probability of the first hammer is 100%, the second hammer drops to 80%, and by the ninth hammer, only an 18% success rate, with the tenth hammer having a 12% success rate. Each hammering requires one Fluorescent Blue Stone.

Hammering up to 8 is automatic. Li Shuning’s Luck Value is high, so although the probability is the same, somehow she automatically hammered 8 times and reached 8 hammers.

Li Shuning recharged that day and received Magic Stones, which guarantee 100% success in hammering. Should she use it for the ninth hammer?

Using a Magic Stone decreases its quantity, and it’s extremely difficult to obtain Magic Stones in the game.

Only some very rare elite bosses have a small chance to drop Magic Stones.

Is it necessary to use a Magic Stone for Level 20 equipment?

Thinking about her Luck Value, Li Shuning glanced at the 18% success rate and resolutely clicked.

The next moment, a refining success prompt appeared, 9 hammers achieved.

Li Shuning breathed a sigh of relief.

After some thought, she still took out a Magic Stone, clicked refine, and reached 10 hammers on the weapon.

The equipment level is still too low to be announced, otherwise reaching 10 hammers would surely be announced.

Feather focuses on high attack, high crit, and high accuracy.

This Dark Gold Clothes have great attributes, but not as vital as the weapon.

Li Shuning clicked auto-refine, refined 14 times, reached 8 hammers, then clicked refine and hit 9 hammers.

After thinking, Li Shuning didn’t continue adding hammers.

She sorted out some equipment acquired from previous dungeons, noticing that Bow gear of Dark Gold hadn’t appeared since, though other professions had Dark Gold items. In fact, Dark Gold Equipment is very rare.

For the Bow profession, however, there were only a few pieces of Purple Equipment.

Li Shuning picked several pieces and started refining, hoping to bolster the 9-hammer equipment.

Of course, this was just the player’s wishful thinking.

In fact, every hammering has the same probability.

Li Shuning refined several Purple Equipment pieces, failed several times, then took a deep breath and directly clicked to refine that Dark Gold Clothes.

[Prompt] Refining Successful.

Li Shuning showed a big smile.

She had gained quite a bit from all the dungeon runs.

Li Shuning’s current level is already 19, complete a few more tasks and she’d break through Level 20, then she’d be able to travel to the city near Chenyue Village.

Upon arriving in Moonlight City, she can go to the auction house and put the items acquired from the dungeon up for sale.

In the current market, not even mentioning Dark Gold, Purple Equipment is scarce, many people are still wearing Green Armor and Blue Armor, some even in White Armor.

Auction houses can only be opened in cities, once activated, others can directly access the auction from their wrist devices without going to the city.

When she saw Bei Chen and Ling Yu, Li Shuning was a bit dazed, these two had already interacted.

Indeed, she had been focused on dungeons all this time, almost forgetting about these two.

Ling Yu paused upon seeing Li Shuning; she had just started chatting with Bei Chen and clung to him daily, trying to deepen impressions.

Unexpectedly, she encountered Luoluo.

Wait, Luoluo?

The corners of Ling Yu’s mouth curved up.

[Chat] Ling Yu: Luoluo, are you Luoluo? Did you find the dungeon? Could you tell us its location?

People coming and going in the village, upon hearing Ling Yu’s shout, gathered around.

Even Bei Chen looked at Li Shuning, seeing her expression, a flash of realization swept through Bei Chen’s eyes—it was her.

[Chat] Ling Bitao: Master, please let me join your team, take me to the dungeon.

[Chat] I Want to Seal the Heavens: Luoluo Master, requesting the dungeon location.

…

Li Shuning coldly glanced at Ling Yu. This woman, thinking she could make her suffer a loss like this?

The dungeon holds little value for her anymore. Once she reaches Moonlight City, there are even more advanced dungeons.

Moreover, Li Shuning doesn’t believe this woman doesn’t know the dungeon’s location.

Ling Yu does know the dungeon’s location, but she can’t make it too obvious. She wants to use the dungeon to strengthen her relationship with Bei Chen. But seeing Li Shuning, she couldn’t help but say those words.

[Horn] Luoluo: Twilight Forest (253.48) has a waterfall, next to it is a boulder. Touch it to enter the cave. Throw an ingot into the stone lion’s mouth to start the dungeon each time.

Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect Li Shuning to reveal dungeon details directly and use a horn.

In this game, a horn costs 100 ingots, equivalent to one hundred dollars.

Li Shuning didn’t care about any of this, directly bypassing the crowd, heading to find the coachman in the village.

Ling Yu felt disappointed. She originally thought Luoluo wouldn’t divulge the dungeon location, then people would trouble her. She’s very familiar with the nature of people in the game, not sympathetic, quite selfish. Unexpectedly, this woman directly disclosed everything. Now, she lost her advantage.

Originally, besides Luoluo, only she knew the dungeon location in this game.

The opportunity for discreet wealth was gone, Ling Yu was secretly resentful.

[Team] Ling Yu: Brother Bei Chen, shall we go to the dungeon too?

Bei Chen nodded, the two headed towards Twilight Forest.

That day, outside the village, Bei Chen saw Luoluo and several other players PK. Somehow, he developed an interest in this game.

If he wanted to continue playing, exploring dungeons was necessary.

After playing for a while, Bei Chen realized some small bosses drop equipment, but Purple Equipment is extremely rare, curious about what the dungeon holds.

After finding the coachman, Li Shuning paid for the carriage and set off to Moonlight City.

She wants to reach Moonlight City quickly, put her items on sale, then head to new dungeons and tackle new tasks.

Currently, she wants to race against time to obtain some rare and scarce items in the game, otherwise wouldn’t it be a bargain for Ling Yu?
