Chen Tian looked at the screen in front of him, then suddenly, instead of clicking confirm, he looked at the weapon he had obtained.
This was precisely when he was in dire need of a weapon, and the reward had come so promptly.
Bone Dragon Dual Blades (Incomplete)
Attributes: Strength +300, Constitution +100, Health +300, Agility +200
Quality: Blue Quality (Full Quality Golden Quality)
Trait: 30% bonus damage to Dragon-type creatures.
(Note: A pair of dual blades crafted from the bones of an ancient divine dragon. This is only a portion of the bones; the complete dual blades require the collection of eight bone fragments for fusion, along with dragon essence and dragon blood, to forge them anew. The highest quality is that of a golden quality weapon.)
Chen Tian gazed at the dual blades before him. The Hundred Transformations Orb had already transformed into the appearance of these dual blades and copied their attributes and abilities.
Holding the dual blades in his hand, they were composed entirely of stark white bone. Simultaneously, a sharp, cold glint flashed from their edges, attesting to their formidable sharpness.
The stark white dual blades were made entirely of bone, yet the aura emanating from them was one of profound majesty, as if all beasts bowed in submission, as if an emperor had descended.
That was dragon energy. Even dragon bones carried the aura of dragons. Dragons were among the most powerful and mysterious races within the Epoch of Time.
The game, Epoch of Time, incorporated a race system. Chen Tian had chosen the Human race, which also included the Beast race, Spirit race, Elemental race, and so on.
With myriad races, dragons were one of the most powerful within the Beast race, a leading-class race.
However, players could not choose such races at the outset; they required specific opportunities and quests to obtain them.
Dragons were considered one of the most powerful races among the beasts. Even if he hadn't encountered them yet, legends of dragons were commonplace on Earth. Within the game, Epoch of Time, anything was possible.
Subsequently, the dual blades materialized in Chen Tian's hand, and an interface instantly appeared before him.
“Accept SSSS-class quest (Death Class!)?”
“Hiss!”
Chen Tian took a deep breath. Four SSSS-class quests, holy cow, Death-class quests. Should he accept or not?
In the Epoch of Time, quests were divided into: SSSS-class, SSS-class, SS-class, S-class, A-class, B-class, C-class, D-class, and so forth.
The D-class had the lowest difficulty, and as one ascended, the difficulty increased, but so did the danger. Some quests even required multiple players working together or forming a team to complete.
The four S-class quests were designated as Death-class quests. A single mistake in player operation during these quests could lead to death.
In the game, Epoch of Time, although player death did not affect consciousness, players would lose three levels for each death.
Chen Tian hesitated whether to accept this Death-class quest.
He was currently only level twenty-eight. He might not be able to handle this Death-class quest due to his low level and attributes.
“Forget it, I’ll accept it! Might as well get the rewards! If I can’t do it now, I’ll do it after I’ve leveled up.”
Chen Tian made his decision and clicked ‘Yes.’
“Ding! Congratulations, player, for triggering the Dragon race hidden class quest: Collect eight Dragon Bones, Dragon Essence, and Dragon Blood, and integrate them into yourself. Quest Rewards: Dragon Bloodline, Dragon Constitution, Dragon Divine Abilities, Dragon Class.”
“Ding! Congratulations, player, for entering the first stage of the quest: Collect the Second Dragon Bone. The target location has been marked on the map. Quest Reward: Innate Body Enhancement Evolution!”
Chen Tian looked at the panel before him and then opened the map. He hadn't expected to find a second dragon bone here and wanted to see where it was.
“Ding! Do you wish to enter the hidden boss dungeon?”
“Uh!!!”
Chen Tian's expression darkened. The location displayed on the map was that of a hidden boss. This meant he would have to face a hidden boss!
“What should I do? I don’t know the hidden boss’s abilities. Would it be too reckless to just go in?”
Chen Tian analyzed the situation calmly. After a moment of thought, he clicked ‘Yes.’ His attributes had already changed compared to before. Even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t die immediately. He would go in and take a look.
What if that dragon bone wasn’t on the hidden boss?
As Chen Tian clicked ‘Yes,’ a grand door slowly appeared before him, opening as if to welcome him.
Chen Tian gazed at the terrifying, profound aura behind the door. A faint pressure filled him with reverence, but the Bone Dragon Dual Blades emitted a blue light, instantly calming Chen Tian.
“Gulp!”
Swallowing, Chen Tian prepared to enter. He stepped forward and slowly walked through the door.
As Chen Tian entered, the door instantly closed, standing firm on the stone path.
Beyond the door lay another world. Chen Tian found himself there, looking around with astonishment and disbelief, for the world beyond the door was an imperial palace!
Golden light illuminated the opulent architecture. The surrounding buildings made him feel as if he were in an ancient imperial palace. Around the palace stood four pillars, upon which four golden dragons coiled, lifelike, as if they were real.
At the same time, Chen Tian looked ahead. Before him stood a massive dragon throne, a golden throne that signified nobility and authority. A faint aura of emperorship emanated from it.
Seated on the dragon throne was a stone statue of a man. Two dual blades were embedded in the top of the stone statue’s head.
Chen Tian looked at the surrounding buildings and objects with confusion. “Hidden boss? Why hasn’t it appeared yet?”
“Ding!”
Suddenly, an electronic interface appeared before Chen Tian, displaying: “The dual blades on the stone statue are one of the dragon bones. They also suppress the evil dragon clan, keeping them at bay. Players can choose to take the dragon bone and face the hidden boss, or choose to engage in a guild battle to defeat the boss and obtain the drops.”
“Note: If the dragon bone is removed directly, the evil dragon clan will no longer be suppressed and will recover to level seventy. In a guild battle, they will be suppressed by the dragon bone and limited to level thirty.”
This time, Chen Tian’s scalp tingled. It seemed he only had one choice!
He was a solitary individual, and naturally, he wouldn’t join a guild. Grouping was only for temporary teams.
“So that’s how it is. No wonder the Endless Trial was so difficult. It turns out this is a guild dungeon!”
Chen Tian suddenly realized. He had always felt that the Endless Trial was extremely difficult, and that most players probably couldn’t even pass the first stage.
It turned out this was a guild dungeon!
A guild dungeon was a dungeon that guilds could complete together. As long as a guild met the requirements for player numbers and levels, all eligible guild members could participate.
These guild dungeons typically required a large number of people. The Endless Trial, with its dense crowds of enemies that Chen Tian had encountered in the past few stages, made sense now.
This was a guild dungeon, and this boss was a guild boss.
If a guild successfully cleared a guild dungeon, all players within the guild would receive some bonuses.
This was the benefit of the guild system – everyone benefited.
However, players in guild mode needed to manage the guild and complete specific guild dungeons to level up.
But Chen Tian still didn’t understand. The first floor was just a starting village; how could there be a guild dungeon?
There were no guilds on the first floor! It should appear on the second floor, shouldn’t it?
In reality, Chen Tian was unaware that this guild boss had been specifically placed on the first floor.
Of course, Chen Tian was simply not privy to this information.
On the ninety-ninth floor, ten figures looked at each other, then began to converse, “Could this boss be soloed?”
“Impossible. We spent a long time researching and creating this boss, and it’s related to the dragon race. He won’t be able to clear it.”
“What I’m worried about now is that he’ll choose the first option and directly pull out the dragon bone!”
“My head hurts. His luck value isn’t even a hundred, what kind of luck is this to trigger such a quest.”
“Enough, let’s not talk about it. The rewards for this quest are beyond our purview; it’s not within our scope.”
“Alright, alright. This player is quite interesting. He cleared all the trials that required a guild all by himself. However, I’m curious, how many classes does he have?”
“He was a dual-speed assassin, then the Shadowless Night, and now he’s come up with a pugilist. He’s practically invincible! And what is this ‘Solitary Wanderer’ mode? I’m baffled.”
“What about the game inspection mechanism’s report, and what did the higher-ups say?”
“Report: According to the game mechanism inspection report, the individual is not cheating. However, the Solitary Wanderer mode indeed doesn’t fit within our established parameters. The higher-ups also checked the information, and there was no cheating. This means the Solitary Wanderer mode exists.”
“Furthermore, they mentioned that it might be due to a slight circuit variation in the chip. They cannot repair it, as the player already has the chip in his possession.”
“Look quickly, he’s made his choice! Damn it, he’s actually pulling out the blade. Isn’t this guy afraid of death?”
…
The expressions of everyone present turned to astonishment, for on their monitors, Chen Tian had chosen the option to pull out the blade.
Is this guy suicidal? How could he, at mere level twenty-eight, contend against a level seventy evil dragon?
Within the imperial palace, Chen Tian had indeed reached the stone statue. The statue was massive, but it still retained the form of a man.
And on top of the stone statue, a pair of dual blades, crafted from bone, were embedded.
Chen Tian extended his hands and slowly removed the dual blades.
“Ding! Congratulations, player, for obtaining the second Dragon Bone. The hidden boss will awaken shortly!”
“Rumble!”
The entire imperial palace immediately began to shake. Simultaneously, cracking sounds emanated from the stone statue, and cracks quickly spread across its surface. Chen Tian watched the stone statue before him and then stepped back.
The stone statue instantly exploded, and a man appeared before Chen Tian.
He was a majestic man, clad in dragon scale armor, his hands resembling dragon claws. His eyes were like those of a demon, filled with an eerie glow.
Behind him was a pair of enormous, black bone wings. Instantly, Chen Tian was overwhelmed by his oppressive aura; it was too terrifying.
He extended a finger and clicked on the information panel of the figure. Upon seeing it, he nearly died of fright.
