Speedrun Goblin Castle, ranked first in the top five!

“Yunyun, is that Lin Xuan, the cousin you often talk about?”

After Lin Xuan’s figure disappeared into the dungeon entrance, a pure-looking girl in a JK uniform next to Xu Yunyun pulled her and asked.

“How is he? Isn’t he handsome? Now you know I wasn’t lying to you, right?” Xu Yunyun said with a proud smile.

“Who told you that you didn’t even have a picture of him before?”

“I couldn’t help it. My cousin, he has a quiet personality, and he didn’t want me to take pictures of him.”

“Quiet? I don’t think so. When he saw us just now, he immediately smiled and greeted us.”

“Wang Yuanyuan, what do you mean? I’m telling you, my cousin has very high standards.”

“Tsk, it’s a good thing your cousin met him. The Binjiang No. 1 Middle School academic ace was dumped by the school belle after she got into university, and he angrily signed up for the martial arts exam.”

“What do you mean, dumped? My cousin never agreed to be anyone’s boyfriend, okay? ...Wait, my cousin signed up for the martial arts exam?!”

“You didn’t know…”

At the same time.

Inside the Goblin Castle dungeon.

Lin Xuan stood at the starting point, waiting for his skills to refresh.

Goblin Castle, though called a castle, was, in reality, just a circle of high stone walls enclosing a few mounds of dirt, given the Goblins’ intelligence.

As the Summon Undead skill leveled up to level three, the number of Skeleton Soldierss that could be summoned doubled again.

Now, he could summon eight Skeleton Soldierss each time, with a cooldown of seven minutes.

“The cooldown is still too long. Before the college entrance exam, I need to find a way to buy equipment that reduces cooldown time.”

Time slowly passed.

Lin Xuan only started moving when he was surrounded by thirty-two Skeleton Soldierss.

The dungeon’s rewards were related to the clear speed.

He checked the time.

Twenty minutes had already passed since he entered the dungeon.

Fortunately, with the boost from the Lightning Power Magic Card,

the thirty-two Skeleton Soldierss cut through the Goblins like a hot knife through butter.

In less than ten minutes,

Lin Xuan had already reached the depths of the castle.

There was a three-meter-tall dirt house here.

As he arrived,

a two-meter-tall giant Goblin, wielding a spiked club, roared and rushed out.

“Level 7 ordinary Goblin Leader, 7,000 HP, skills…”

Lin Xuan recalled the Goblin bestiary and waved his hand, sending the Skeleton Soldierss to attack.

At this moment, his skills had just refreshed.

The number of Skeleton Soldierss reached forty.

Each Skeleton Soldiers’s attack would trigger 5% true damage based on the target’s lost health.

And each Skeleton Soldiers had a high chance to trigger Lightning Power, paralyzing the enemy.

Under the effects of the two skills,

the Goblin Leader had just raised its spiked club

when it was paralyzed by the Skeleton Soldierss besieging it.

-10, -20, -30…

The Skeleton Soldiers’ damage grew higher and higher.

After a few breaths, Lin Xuan heard the dungeon clear notification.

“Successfully killed the Goblin Leader. Dungeon clear requirements met.”

“Difficulty: Normal”

“Clear Time: 00:31:09”

“Rating: A+”

“Rewards: Free Attribute +1, Skill Point +1, Experience +500, Dungeon Treasure Chest +1”

“Good luck, a skill point dropped from a normal dungeon.”

Dungeon settlement did not always guarantee a skill point.

Even killing the BOSS didn't guarantee one.

Lin Xuan was lucky.

From last night until now, he had obtained a skill point after killing all four BOSSes.

More importantly, he gained free attributes.

One should know that even professional players only had a chance to gain attributes when clearing a dungeon for the first time.

This probability was extremely, extremely low.

According to centuries of statistics, the probability was around 0.5%!

Lin Xuan’s settlement was truly that of an Emperor of Luck among Emperors of Luck!

Dungeon experience settlement completed, and his level rose to eight.

Lin Xuan added all his free attributes to Spirit.

Looking at the Dungeon Treasure Chest in his backpack, he was a bit hesitant to open it.

“Why do I have a bad feeling?”

After opening the Dungeon Treasure Chest, one would randomly receive items such as equipment, skill books, or materials.

Treasure chests from high-difficulty dungeons could even yield Magic Cards.

But he had been too lucky recently.

His intuition told him that

the quality of the current treasure chest wouldn't be very good.

“Forget it. Superstition won’t change bad luck, and money won’t change fate. My luck is soaring right now, open!”

“Opened Dungeon Treasure Chest, obtained Goblin Ring (White), Goblin Greatclub (White), Goblin Tooth ×10.”

Lin Xuan: “…”

Indeed, sometimes a man’s intuition is very accurate.

Lin Xuan’s heart was calm.

He spent two skill points to raise Magic Barrier to level two and then exited the dungeon.

In the dungeon hall,

Lin Xuan did not find his cousin.

He had originally wanted to chat with her more.

However, thinking about it, it made sense.

Although he had wasted some time after entering the dungeon,

clearing it in thirty minutes was already enough to rank among the top one hundred clear times.

It should be noted that the top one hundred clear records for Goblin Castle

were almost all achieved by standard five-person professional teams at level ten.

Solo clears usually took around an hour.

At this point, his cousin probably thought he was still in the dungeon.

Since his cousin wasn't around,

Lin Xuan didn’t waste time. He replenished his mana and entered the dungeon again.

This time, he chose the difficult level.

Half an hour later,

Lin Xuan’s figure appeared at the dungeon entrance, and he opened the treasure chest.

“A blue bracelet, not bad, but too bad there’s no skill point.”

He scanned the hall, but his cousin was still nowhere in sight.

Lin Xuan didn’t linger.

He placed his hand on the crystal ball at the dungeon entrance and entered the difficult level of Goblin Castle again.

After that, he went back and forth for two hours.

Lin Xuan grinned at the dungeon entrance and challenged the Hell difficulty dungeon.

The dungeon was harder, but Lin Xuan’s speed was even faster.

In less than twenty minutes, he cleared the dungeon, and his figure appeared at the entrance.

At this moment, his level had risen to nine.

The Summon Undead skill had been upgraded to level four, allowing him to summon sixteen Skeleton Soldierss each time.

With the equipment’s boost, the skill’s cooldown was less than five minutes!

“Next, there are Nightmare and Doomsday difficulty dungeons. I’ll break the dungeon record first, then try those.”

Entering the normal dungeon, this time Lin Xuan only summoned Skeleton Soldierss twice before beginning his rampage.

After Summon Undead reached level four, the skill underwent a qualitative change.

He summoned once upon entering the dungeon, then only waited five minutes.

Upon summoning again, the number of Skeleton Soldierss reached thirty-two.

The remaining time was spent simply pushing through.

“Killed Level 5 Throwing Goblin.”

“Killed Level 7 Mutated Goblin.”

…

The kill notification sounds kept ringing in his ears.

Soon, Lin Xuan arrived at the dungeon BOSS.

His skills had just refreshed.

He summoned again.

Forty-eight Skeleton Soldierss stood beside Lin Xuan.

In front of them was a two-meter-tall giant Throwing Goblin.

It looked very mighty, but Lin Xuan felt like he was the real BOSS.

However, seeing this BOSS’s appearance,

Lin Xuan suddenly thought of the Undead Contract skill he had just obtained yesterday.

His current attack methods were only Skeleton Soldierss, and they were all melee.

After seeing the throwing-type Goblin, Lin Xuan had an idea.

Bang! While he was hesitating, two fireballs suddenly hit him.

“Forget it, Goblins are too ugly. I’ll go back and check the Monster Bestiary before deciding.”

“Before, my focus was always on monster strength. This time, I need to find a few that are both handsome and strong.”

“After all, being handsome is for life.”

Lin Xuan thought to himself, waving his hand to order the Skeleton Soldierss to advance.

Whoosh—

Another fireball.

Lin Xuan dodged sideways.

Looking at the scorched grass from the fireball,

Lin Xuan thought it would be better to learn a Flash skill after unlocking a new skill slot at level ten.

More than forty Skeleton Soldierss could each trigger the talent effect, and after just a few breaths, a notification sounded in his ear.

“Congratulations, professional player Lin Xuan, for becoming the first-place record holder for Goblin Castle dungeon, Normal difficulty.”

“Clear Time: 00:10:25”

“Because you are the first-place record holder, you will receive ranking rewards.”

“Reward 1: Title · Goblin Slayer.”

“Effect: Damage against any Goblin-type monster increased by 5%.”

“Reward 2: Experience · Endless Growth.”

“Effect: Experience settled based on rank, gain one experience point per hour.”

“Reward 3: Magic Card (Green) · Spirit.”

“Effect: When equipped, Spirit attribute +10.”

A title, experience, and a green Magic Card, valued at five thousand gold coins.

“This is the correct way to open dungeon rewards.”

These were things Lin Xuan had already planned for.

Attribute-type Magic Cards were the most common kind.

Of course, they were also materials many people used to decompose and enhance other Magic Cards.

Lin Xuan currently had seven empty card slots, so he naturally had no intention of decomposing them.

He equipped the Magic Card into an empty card slot.

Lin Xuan exited the dungeon, ready to advance to other difficulties!

After the trial in the normal dungeon just now,

he was confident he could take first place on all five leaderboards for the Goblin Castle dungeon!
