94: Trade Calamity Key

But in this vast sea of people, where can I go to steal skills?

Moreover, to directly steal the skills of someone I have no grudge against...

Blowing in the cold wind of the late night, Chen Ming took out his phone and searched for negative news about Hunters.

When everything else is fine, it's about finding peace of mind.

Convincing others isn't important; convincing yourself is.

The system seemed to notice Chen Ming's dilemma and popped up a window: [Note: The targets that SSS-level Permanent Steal can steal from are not limited to humans; any target with skills can be stolen from!]

What?!

After reading the system's introduction to SSS-level Permanent Steal, even Chen Ming, who was always used to staying calm, almost failed to control his emotions and exclaimed in surprise.

Any target with skills can be stolen from! The difficulty in suppressing Chen Ming's smile had already surpassed that of an AK-47, reaching the level of a Barrett.

Do I need sympathy for monsters? Guilt? Bullshit!

Chen Ming wished he could kill them all, get treasure chests! Extract Undead!

Summoned the virtual panel and headed straight for the trading center.

In his opinion, having reached this stage, someone might have fished out what he wanted.

For example, dungeon treasure maps. The monsters in reality are still too low-level for Chen Ming; the effort and reward are not proportional.

Those guys, just leave them to Qingyun Ice Dragon and Bai Yuan.

Chen Ming didn't think he could steal skills from low-level monsters like Zombies, which are everywhere.

After entering the trading center and browsing for a while, he saw that he really couldn't find what he wanted.

Chen Ming simply took the initiative to post a bounty.

He believed that as long as the stakes were high enough, those who regarded items like dungeon treasure maps as treasures and thought they might be useful in the future would definitely be tempted.

The reason is simple: they're almost starving to death right now, so what future is there?

Only by surviving is there a future to talk about.

Most people still only value immediate benefits.

The title was set as: [Large amount of food and weapons in exchange for items related to dungeon instances!]

The traded items added were: [Two bags of rice weighing 100 pounds, three bundles of dried noodles, one large vegetable package, 12 cans of luncheon meat, 5 cans of beef, three bags of cocoa butter substitute chocolate, 2 cans of yellow peaches, one box of small bread (24 counts), one pistol, 50 bullets, and a military dagger as a bonus!]

There was no limit set on the exchange quantity. With the Hundredfold Rebate skill, the more they exchanged, the more Chen Ming's material reserves also increased.

After confirming there were no errors, he clicked Publish.

Very good, published successfully. All that needs to be done next is to wait patiently.

Chen Ming was not in a hurry.

Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, a red dot immediately appeared on the mailbox icon next to it.

[Fisher "Tang Jifei" has successfully completed a trade with you! You lost two bags of rice, three bundles of dried noodles... You gained Calamity Dungeon Key +1!]

That fast? This efficiency truly surprised Chen Ming.

It seems that people's urgent need for supplies is far greater than I imagined.

As soon as Chen Ming finished sighing, he saw the Hundredfold Rebate notifications rapidly refreshing before his eyes:

[Trade successful! Hundredfold Rebate triggered. Congratulations on obtaining 100-pound bags of rice +200, dried noodles +300, large vegetable package +100, luncheon meat cans +1200...]

Having supplies until your hands are soft, that's what this feeling is like, right?

Chen Ming hid the notifications, letting them refresh by themselves to the side, so they wouldn't disturb him from entering dungeons, challenging secret realms, and stealing skills.

After possessing the SSS-level Permanent Steal skill, his relationship with the major dungeon bosses was completely reversed.

Challengers? Surviving?

No, these are things the dungeon bosses need to consider. What do they have to do with him, Chen Ming?

Without skills, relying only on the boss's remaining basic attributes to contend with Chen Ming would be no different from an F-rank Hunter challenging an S-Rank dungeon.

Opened his storage space and found the key to open the Calamity Dungeon.

It was several times larger than a regular key, like a key used to open a large warehouse lock in the past.

Check details.

[Calamity Key: This key can open a Calamity Dungeon for you. The dungeon is full of danger, but is often accompanied by massive rewards!]

[How to use: Go to the designated location, follow the instructions, insert the key, and turn!]

Took out the key.

The overall color was dark red, looking like rust, yet not rusty.

Its weight was almost comparable to a revolver.

A designated location?

Chen Ming noticed that a map function had been added to the virtual panel, and the coordinates of the dungeon gate were clearly marked.

Summon a flying sword, or ride a dragon to go?

There was no need for such trouble. He hadn't forgotten that he possessed the S-Rank Teleportation skill.

Clicking the coordinates, a prompt immediately popped up: [Proceed with teleportation?]

Confirm!

[Teleporting...]

[Teleportation successful!]

In the blink of an eye, the scene before Chen Ming changed dramatically. He appeared in a place with many remnants of artillery battles; collapsed houses and ruins were everywhere.

After the missiles fell, they left countless craters on the ground, large and small.

It wasn't hard to imagine what kind of fierce battle had taken place here before.

Moreover, the battle seemed to have only recently concluded. The scattered, bloody body parts on the ground, indistinguishable as human or Zombie, were the best proof.

'Unexpectedly, there are also unexpected gains.'

Chen Ming smiled faintly.

Select all, extract!

Get whatever you can.

Even a fly's leg is meat, no matter how small.

[Extracting...]

[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host on obtaining new Undead Servants: Zombies +888!]

[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host on obtaining new Undead Servants: Stone Armored Zombies +15!]

Stone Armored Zombies? Did someone get incredibly lucky and fish them out? Or... did ordinary Zombies mutate? Chen Ming muttered to himself.

Shook his head, recalling his main purpose for coming here.

[▼158 meters]

Following the inverted triangle coordinate marker before his eyes, he entered the Chen Ming entrance.

That's right, the dungeon gate was hidden underground.

The escalator had long since stopped operating. To avoid any risks, Chen Ming chose to take the stairs.

The deeper he went, the more he could feel that the Chen Ming station, which was originally crowded with people, was now extremely damp and cold.

Blood, white claw marks, and bullet holes could be seen everywhere on the walls and ground.

Away from the entrance, it was pitch black, impossible to see one's hand in front of their face.

Chen Ming activated his Night Vision skill.

In an instant, what he saw before him became as clear as if daylight had arrived.

Precisely because he could see clearly, Chen Ming noticed someone hiding behind a wall pillar, holding a gun and wearing night vision goggles.

He seemed to regard himself as prey and was planning an ambush.

That equipment was likely stripped from dead Special Ops Soldiers soldiers, or obtained through Ten Thousand Realms Fishing.

Chen Ming was certain the other party was not a normal person.

What normal person would hang a circle of severed little fingers on their waist, like a keychain?
