202: Do you want me to become a monk?

"It's alive again??"

"I don't think so. It's a completely different style from the previous boss. If you look closely, you can see the difference. The Undead vibe is strong, and the flames have turned holy white."

"If it hadn't died, how could the dungeon barrier have disappeared?"

"So, this guy has been undead-ified? That's the boss of an S-Class Secret Realm Dungeon! To be undead-ified so easily and become one of his top generals? Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

"What else do you want? Have you forgotten how it died? One-shot kill!"

"..." His mouth opened, then closed, speechless from the retort.

His friend walked up, placed a hand on his shoulder, and patted it gently a few times, comforting him, "Things like this will only happen more and more in the future, get used to it sooner rather than later. Besides, with a one-shot kill level, I don't think he could be a general."

"..." The Man.

Still unable to refute.

He understood what a gap in strength meant.

The boss that was infinitely powerful in his eyes was, in the eyes of others, merely livestock to be slaughtered at any time, worse than ants.

The Man, who originally held some resistance towards Ten Thousand Realms Fishing and would never use this software if not for the sake of survival.

Now actively took out his phone and opened Ten Thousand Realms Fishing.

"..." Looking at the remaining three fishing attempts that hadn't been refreshed for a while.

After much hesitation, he still clicked the [Start Fishing] option.

He was convinced that in this current world, to survive and change his fate, there was no other choice but to rely on this heaven-sent software and his own luck.

Chen Ming's strength gave the Man the courage to take risks!

He realized that in this world, you couldn't have your cake and eat it too; to become stronger, you had to bear the corresponding risks.

But after casting the rod, the Man's brow couldn't help but furrow tightly.

With another cast, his expression became even uglier.

With the last cast, his expression was incredibly ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly. This feeling was indescribable, in short, it was nauseating.

He regretted wasting so many fishing attempts before...

All the Undead returned to the Shadow World.

Chen Ming, on the other hand, had just granted millions of Undead under his command the authority to level up.

Now, the shackles on them were broken. As long as they hunted, they could not only automatically assimilate Undead but also gain leveling experience from it. For every small level gained, their attributes would greatly increase.

When they leveled up ten small levels consecutively, reaching a major level, there was a chance to awaken a new skill.

"Whoa! Granting leveling authority to millions of Undead actually consumed almost two-thirds of my mental power?"

Chen Ming rarely saw his mental power drop so much and was quite surprised.

The feeling wasn't obvious; only when clenching his fists could he notice that he couldn't exert his full strength.

The more his mental power decreased, the more severe this condition would become later on.

Fortunately, the two-thirds of mental power consumed vanished in an instant, and the speed at which it was replenished was also not slow, quickly filling up.

The advantage of having many skills was immediately apparent.

Chen Ming's mental power recovery speed, boosted by various SSS-level, SS-grade, S-Rank... skills, was already something ordinary people couldn't compare to.

If you had to say, looking at the entire world now, besides him, you couldn't find a second person who could be called a transcendent human.

That's right, he achieved true transcendence!

However, compared to this, his attention quickly shifted to the S-Rank clearance treasure chest.

Chen Ming usually wouldn't keep this kind of high-level treasure chest stored for a long time; instead, he would open it immediately.

Mainly because the quantity was too small, and he was curious about what kind of new rewards he could open from it.

He selected the S-Rank clearance treasure chest dropped from clearing the Crazed Rat Disaster dungeon.

Confirmed to open.

[Opening S-Rank clearance treasure chest...]

[Successfully opened! Congratulations Host on obtaining Demon Flute +1, Plague Dagger +2, Swift Fruit +3, Cloak of the Hidden, Great Replenishment Potion +10!]

Click to view details.

[Demon Flute: Playing the Demon Flute can summon Mutated Rats to fight for you. Maximum summon limit +100!]

[Plague Dagger: An Assassin-specific dagger crafted from the teeth of the Plague King. Besides its powerful attribute bonuses, it can apply a plague effect to enemies! Continuously causing negative decay and damage!]

[Swift Fruit: After consumption, it can greatly increase your reaction and movement speed!]

[Cloak of the Hidden: When you wear this cloak on assassination missions, it can effectively reduce the risk of exposure and provide certain Assassin attribute bonuses!]

There was no need to look at the Great Replenishment Potion. For the billions of people worldwide, it was priceless, but for Chen Ming, it was a frequent item, appearing very often.

"Speaking of which, the reward for being first on the dungeon kill ranking is only one S-Rank clearance treasure chest and a little bit of attribute bonus? Isn't that a bit too stingy?" Chen Ming complained.

Although he knew perfectly well that if this reward were given to other survivors, they would be ecstatic and heavily promoted at the national level, that didn't stop Chen Ming from complaining.

Since the dungeon problem was solved and it was getting late outside, Chen Ming stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

It was time to wash up, go to bed, and end the day.

"Ah..." Sleepiness hit him, and he couldn't help but yawn.

Gods Eye peeked at the situation outside the villa; Qin Hongyue was still focused on cultivating.

Opening his eyes, his vision returned.

Thinking that as a Great Emperor expert unparalleled in the world, cultivating in seclusion for a few hundred or a thousand years would probably be like playing, and he didn't need to worry about her at all.

He placed his phone in position, finished squeezing toothpaste, and casually clicked [Start Fishing].

While brushing his teeth, he stared intently at the phone screen, wanting to see what kind of reward he could fish out.

He hoped it could bring him something new, preferably something that hadn't appeared before.

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations Host on obtaining Great Strength Vajra Pill +10!]

"A pill that can greatly increase strength and defense after eating..."

He could only say it was useful, but not enough to pique Chen Ming's interest.

He tilted his head back to rinse his mouth, spat it out, and then cast the rod again.

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations Host on obtaining a Divine-grade Cultivation Technique!]

As the saying goes, Chen Ming had no interest in cultivation. He didn't even bother to look at the details and decided to give it to Qin Hongyue sometime later, thinking she would most likely like it.

Swish!

Sound of running water, wringing out the face towel.

His little finger crooked up, and he clicked [Start Fishing].

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations Host on obtaining Celestial Master Daoist Robe +1!]

"Celestial Master Daoist Robe? Is this telling me to become a monk?" Chen Ming rubbed his face vigorously a few times, self-mocking after seeing the reward content.

He hung the towel, dried his hands, picked up his phone, and checked the description.

[Celestial Master Daoist Robe: After wearing it, you will be filled with righteousness, capable of exorcising demons and warding off evil!]

Although there were few words, from Chen Ming's perspective, there would definitely be a chance to use it in the future.

Keep it.

Leaving the bathroom and walking up the stairs to the second floor, Chen Ming cast the rod again.

[Fishing in progress...]

[Fishing successful! Congratulations Host on obtaining Daoist Gatling Gun +1!]
