Chapter 132: Competing For First Clear
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The 1 point damage the Broodmother dealt was the lowest default damage!
With the buff from the Light Devouring enhancement, Lin Jie was immune to light-type damage that fell below 135! Facing a Boss like Varina, which had poor attributes and purely relied on spiderlings, Lin Jie could easily beat it!
The most important thing now was to get the first clear of the dungeon!
As a dungeon-group, there were huge amounts of hidden rewards and first clear rewards in every dungeon. The rewards ranged from experience and coins to equipment and mounts. As long as one got the ability, they could obtain them all!
To that, Lin Jie was willing to put aside [Belief Church] and focus on the first clear of the small dungeon!
Varina’s HP was not enough to stand against these people. The Life-Steal effect of Wolf Soul Necklace completely compensated for the loss of HP. The health bar of Varina declined steadily, gradually reaching 20%.
“Luuuuuuup——”
The Boss entered Enrage mode! After entering that mode, Varina’s attacks had armor ignore and 30% Life-Steal, while the spiderlings’ attack speed was increased by 60%.
But it was still useless against Lin Jie! Each attack only dealt 1 damage point! With the high damage output of the team, Varina’s Enrage mode was like a joke. Soon, its health bar was emptied.
Shh! Lin Jie cut its head off with his sword!
Varina dropped 12 silver coins, a stack of web for medical purposes, as well as a dagger.

—System announcement: Congratulation to player Code Lone Wolf. His team obtained the First Clear of Hero-level [Light Hatchery]. They are rewarded with 80 War of Light points, 130,000 EXP, 30 silver coins, 1 Light Talisman, and 2 additional free attributes points.
—System announcement: Congratulation to player Code Night for...
The system announcements were everywhere!
In the dungeon-group of War of Light, there were no difficulty levels, but branch missions such as Light Hatchery were numerous. If no monsters were killed, the dungeon would enter Hero-level. Killing a Boss under such a condition would have increased drop rate, EXP and additional rewards.
Additional 2 attribute points!
The announcement attracted the attention of countless players, and they explored the Hero-level of dungeons. If two players had the same level, skills, and equipment but the attributes were several dozen or even one hundred points apart, what would happen to the two players when they dueled?
Attribute points were a precious thing!
“Let’s go, next dungeon!” yelled Lin Jie.
Everyone nodded, first clear in just half an hour! The efficiency was terrifying!
The second dungeon—[Ten Council].
Ten Council was a 10-man dungeon. There were a total of 10 Priests, who would not attack players but instead heal themselves. If all of them were not killed within 10 minutes, they would enter Enrage mode and kill the players.
Many people were standing outside Ten Council. All of them had failed to clear the dungeon.
“Only 10% left! What a scam!”
“I thought this dungeon is free exp. Sh*t.”
“Go go go, try it again.”
“My first clear! I will get rich if I get dozens of first clear in a day!”
The exploration speed of normal players was not fast, but there was a large denominator of them! Lin Jie felt very nervous and went into the dungeon.
—”You have entered [Ten Council].”
The map of Ten Council was a hall with a devil statue. Ten priests in white robes were offering their faith and praying for the devil to come.
[Parliamentary Ambassador Chika]: Level 15 Elite, HP: 15,000
Each of the 10 priests had 15,000 HP!
“Control five of them and aim at one first! Camel, Unexpected, hit me until my HP drops to 5%,” yelled Lin Jie and drew his sword to hit himself. The priests could not attack so it would be easy once their damage output was high!
Dejected Night’s hands glowed, and an arcane spell surrounded one of the priests. With a “Baa”, one of the priests was transformed into a sheep!
That was Polymorph!
Star Kill used combo skills to test the enemy and dealt 900 damage points to one one of the priests.
The rest of the priests healed him immediately with healing spells that alloted more than 1,000 points. The lost HP was soon recovered.
This dungeon required burst power, endurance, and control. In Lin Jie’s previous life, Triumphant Midnight had obtained the first clear with 10 Assassin Bandits!
Army Obliteration!
The Broken Blade stabbed into a priest’s chest and brought up three 800+ damage points. Lin Jie drank a bottle of rage potion and slashed the priest’s shoulder with Dark Slaughter Longsword.
Weakness Exploit!
-2,014!
Just as the rest of the priests were about to heal, Mixed Breathless used Forward Charge and bashed the shield on their faces, interrupting the channeling!
On the other side, Blood Essence dropped everywhere with Lin Jie’s attacks. Each of them changed into Lin Jie’s attack power!
-2,101!
-2,235!
-2,754!
...
With the combination of Blood Power and Death Rage, Lin Jie’s damage output was extremely high!
“Die!”
Blood Soul Multi-Slash!
-4,584!
-6,847! (Critical Hit)
The priest dropped dead on the ground. He could no longer be saved by healing spells.
With one priest down, the rest of them were crippled! When the Death Rage disappeared, Lin Jie’s damage was stabilized at around 1,000. With the damage output of the rest, the second priest died in the 3rd minute!
After losing the BUG-like mutual healing to stay alive, the six of them easily killed the remaining priests, clearing the dungeon swiftly!

Congratulation to player Code Lone Wolf. His team obtained the First Clear of [Ten Council]. They are rewarded with 120 War of Light points, 190,000 EXP, 30 silver coins, and 1 Light Talisman.
—System announcement: Congratulation...
“Dafuq? Only 16 minutes passed from the previous first clear. Is this Lone Wolf mad?”
“It’s said that he destroyed the Angel Descent’s guild base alone.”
“Savage Blade from Brotherhood... Damn, there are only 6 of them?”
There was an uproar among the players! Most of them were still at the stage of exploring, but Savage Blade had already obtained two first clear. That was shocking!
Ding!
—System announcement: Congratulation to player Netherblue. Her team obtained the First Clear of [Place of Prayer]. They are rewarded with War of Light points...
Within 6 hours of the War of Light dungeon-group release, the entire system column was filled with the competition between Savage Blade and Netherblue’s team! The two teams were competing for first clear, and they had obtained the First Clear of 15 dungeons! 8 of which belonged to Savage Blade and 7 to Netherblue’s team!
Since then, many scattered teams and elite groups from guilds had also received the first killing announcement, but the first place had almost been snatched away!
Lin Jie’s group had received the most benefits as all the dungeons they cleared were Hero-level difficulty! Hero-level difficulty clearance rewarded additional attribute points! Six people’s attributes bars had 16 more attributes points, which were equivalent to a three levels rise! Lin Jie did not hesitate to add these attributes to his strength.
“Fu Sheng, continue?” Dejected Night was excited. The feeling of obtaining first clears one after another was great! It was so sensational!
Lin Jie smiled, “The first wave of dungeons is almost over, now is the main course!”
Countless players were staring at the first main mission dungeon, the Belief Church!
As the main mission dungeon, the difficulty level of Belief Church was very high, way higher than normal dungeons.
Belief Church was a team dungeon. The minimal requirement was 10 people, and the maximum was 15! One NPC was allowed to fight along.
The NPC that could be recruited from the War of Light pre-tasks could help in the dungeon, but only once! If the entire team had completed the task, the NPC would help in the entire main mission.
As for the NPC’s quality, the 4 Sword Saints and Yatasha were the best!
But Lin Jie had no intention of inviting the NPC to fight along. That was one of the requirements of Hero-level difficulty. Only that could give bonus attributes points. The importance of attribute points was self-evident. If two warriors of the same level differed by one hundred attributes points, where was the comparability?
“Progress of Triumphant Midnight in Belief Church is 11%, Angel Descent is 13%... Humph.”
...
A blood-colored full moon shone on the ruined temple.
Eighteen Massacres waved away the dense spider-web and touched the letter with his grey-black palm, smiling faintly. “The reward for the first clear of the Belief Church includes a hidden key to a dungeon? It should be the part of that Broken Blade...”
He stood up slowly, his bones were crackling.
A dry palm was stretched out under the damp soil and turned into a dry rotten servant.
...
“I’m back!”
In the center of the City of Light, a man adorned in a black robe and with a tiger helmet that concealed his identity appeared.
The city supervisor was duly scratching his foam-like hair. He squinted at female players passing-by from time to time and took a good look at them. That was his greatest pleasure.
He was the chief executive of the yet-to-be-established auction house in the center of the City of Light. He had been waiting for a long time since the auction house was sold to a human from the alternate realms. It had yet to be built.
“Prepare to get working.”
A faint voice came from the front, and the supervisor cleared his nose and said lazily, “There’s no real estate for sale here. I’m just waiting for the owner of this auction house.”
“I’m the one.” The person threw out a contract. Zheng Ziliang was indeed the person under this tiger head helmet!
The supervisor fell down with a flattering laugh and said, “Sir, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. You can tell me to do anything. The rules of this auction house are up to you.”
Zheng Ziliang used the panel and set up the auction house’s outlook, settings, tax rate, trading methods and so on.
Ding!
—System announcement: City of Light Central Auction House is officially open!
