Installments!

"Damn it, despicable human!"

"Your soul will suffer endless torment within the flames."

"All who dare to set foot in the Dungeon shall receive divine punishment!"

The Necromancer Priest continuously shrieked curses from his mouth.

Then, as he waved the staff in his hand, another batch of Skeleton Monsters was summoned; this was already the fourth wave.

Densely packed Skeleton Monsters crawled out from underground, hissing as they charged toward Chen Ming.

However, before they could even get close, the effect of [Ice and Snow World] triggered once again.

A blizzard fell from the sky, instantly burying all the Skeleton Monsters in a collective grave.

Chen Ming glanced at the toxin damage from the Source of All Evil; it had already reached a staggering 2,850 points.

Once seven layers of toxin were applied, it would deal nearly twenty thousand damage per second.

"It's time to end this!"

A faint smile curled on Chen Ming's lips as he turned his gaze toward the Necromancer Priest.

At this moment, the Necromancer Priest's mana had been completely exhausted.

Chen Ming didn't bother wasting any more time.

A series of arrows shot from his hand, and the toxins from the Source of All Evil instantly stacked to seven layers.

-19,950 points. (Toxin Damage)

-19,950 points. (Toxin Damage)

...

In less than three seconds, the Necromancer Priest's health bar was emptied. With a weak wail, he turned into a pile of withered bones.

[Ding! You have successfully killed a bronze grade boss. Experience +16,000 points.]

[Your experience bar is full. Level increased to 13.]

[You have successfully claimed the first kill of the bronze grade boss Necromancer Priest. intelligence +20 points.]

...

A brilliant golden light erupted from within Chen Ming.

At the same time, the Undead Lord picked up the equipment dropped after the Necromancer Priest's death and handed it to Chen Ming.

In "Eternal," when a party drops equipment, they usually roll for it.

However, as the party leader, Chen Ming had already changed the distribution mode to Leader Loot.

He was only responsible for carrying them through; naturally, all equipment and items dropped along the way belonged to him.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained 12,580 Gold Coins.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the equipment — Undead Staff (bronze grade).]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the equipment — necromancer ring (bronze grade).]

[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the equipment — Undead Sword (bronze grade).]

...

Not too bad.

A total of three pieces of equipment dropped.

Chen Ming looked at the ring among them; this was the only one of the three pieces he could use.

Nothing more to say—he enhanced it immediately.

[Ding! You have activated your Forbidden Talent on the target [necromancer ring], obtaining a Tier 2 enhancement.]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the equipment — Necromancer Ring (gold grade).]

[Ding! You have activated your Forbidden Talent on the target [necromancer ring], successfully enchanting it with a white suffix: Mana.]

[Necromancer Ring]

[Quality: gold grade.]

[Level: 13.]

[Durability: 320/320 points.]

[magic attack power: +120 points.]

[Maximum Mana: +850 points.]

[Special Effect 1: All Dark-type skill cooldowns -8%.]

[Special Effect 2: All skill damage increased by an additional 20%.]

[Additional Suffix: Mana (White): Maximum Mana +350 points.]

[Description: A ring imbued with dense undead power. The wearer has a certain chance of being antagonized by creatures of the Light Faction.]

...

"It actually rolled a top-tier effect."

Chen Ming was somewhat surprised.

Although the [Necromancer Ring] was positioned as equipment for Mage-type classes,

the skill damage bonus of the second special effect was a rare, high-quality effect for the early game.

"I can use it as a transitional piece for now."

Chen Ming decisively equipped it.

After doing all this, he looked at the remaining two pieces of equipment.

Neither was usable for him.

After enhancing them once, he threw them directly into his backpack.

Just then, Wealthy Under Heaven rubbed his hands together and walked over with some excitement.

"Big boss, can I discuss something with you?"

"Speak!"

"Well, that greatsword that just dropped... do you have any intention of selling it?" Wealthy Under Heaven gave a cheeky grin.

Chen Ming glanced at him. "Are you sure you can afford it?"

Wealthy Under Heaven's talent was related to Gold Coins, but since it was only the third day of the game, he couldn't have accumulated much gold yet.

"Big boss, don't you worry. I don't have much else, but I do have money."

Wealthy Under Heaven looked full of confidence.

In his view, a bronze grade boss would drop silver grade equipment at most.

With the gold he had on him, buying a piece of silver grade equipment would be more than enough.

Hearing this, Chen Ming didn't waste words and directly took out the greatsword dropped by the Necromancer Priest.

However, after being enhanced by his talent, the original bronze grade greatsword had already been upgraded to a Platinum-grade greatsword.

"Pla... Platinum-grade..."

Wealthy Under Heaven's eyes widened.

What kind of heaven-defying luck was this? A bronze grade boss dropping Platinum-grade equipment?

"Flat price, 700,000 gold. No bargaining," Chen Ming said calmly.

The market price for Platinum-grade equipment was normally around 100,000 gold.

However, equipment was scarce right now, so Chen Ming doubling the price wasn't unreasonable.

"700,000 Gold Coins!!"

Wealthy Under Heaven's hand trembled slightly.

He currently had less than 100,000 gold on him. Recalling his confident look just now, he was so embarrassed he almost wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

Seeing Wealthy Under Heaven's expression, Chen Ming understood. He immediately put away the equipment and prepared to continue to the next stage.

"Wait!" Wealthy Under Heaven gritted his teeth and suddenly called out to Chen Ming.

"Big boss, see if this works."

"I want this greatsword, but paid in installments."

"Give me ten days. After ten days, I'll pay you 1,000,000 gold directly."

Chen Ming gave him a surprised look, pondered for a moment, and nodded. "Fine, it's a deal."

"Thank you, big boss!"

A smile appeared on Wealthy Under Heaven's face.

What he was buying this time wasn't just equipment, but an opportunity.

An opportunity to permanently cling to the big boss's thigh.

...

[Ding! The seventh wave of monsters is about to arrive. Please prepare in advance.]

In the time that followed, Chen Ming continued to clear the stages.

The seventh wave...

The eighth wave...

The ninth wave...

When the time reached 8:45, Chen Ming had arrived at the final stage of the Dungeon.

[Notice: The passage leading to the Dungeon has opened.]

As the notification sounded, a deep, dark passage cracked open in the valley ahead.

By passing through this passage, one could reach the Dungeon's final destination—the Dungeon.

Thinking of this, Chen Ming walked straight toward it.

Seeing this, Wealthy Under Heaven and the others hurried to follow.

[Notice: The Dungeon is filled with death energy. Players entering will take 50 points of true damage per second.]

"You guys wait for me here."

Chen Ming glanced at Wealthy Under Heaven and the others and spoke.

"Okay!"

"Big boss, we'll cheer for you from here."

Wealthy Under Heaven and the others nodded. They also knew that with their strength, following him would just make them burdens. Not only would they be unable to help, but they would also lower the final clear rating!
