Dungeon Ruins

After the two added each other as friends, Lu Yuan said goodbye and left.

As usual, after going to the mall to replenish the necessities for his next entry into the Origin Land, Lu Yuan returned to his rented room.

Ma Lingling's room door was open, and there was the sound of things being overturned inside.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and walked over.

As soon as he entered, Lu Yuan saw Ma Lingling and Li Qinghe packing their things.

Lu Yuan was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

Li Qinghe glanced at Lu Yuan and smiled, "Little Yuan is back? Sister Ma is planning to leave here."

Lu Yuan looked at Ma Lingling.

Ma Lingling's eyes were red and swollen, and she smiled at Lu Yuan, with an unspeakable bitterness: "A Wei is gone, and it's meaningless for me to stay here alone. I also plan to go to A Wei's hometown to have a look."

Lu Yuan didn't say much, he nodded: "Then I wish you all the best."

Ma Lingling smiled, solemnly put the group photo on the desk into a corner of the suitcase, and carefully put away the plastic rose with faded paint.

Lu Yuan stepped forward and smiled, "Let me help too."

Ma Lingling didn't have many things, and soon packed them into several boxes.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan took a few boxes downstairs, and the three came to the entrance of the community.

Ma Lingling stopped a Hover Car, turned to look at Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe, and smiled:

"I'm leaving, I hope you two have a smooth life in the future and leave this hell as soon as possible."

Lu Yuan and Li Qinghe also nodded.

Watching the Hover Car leave, Li Qinghe sighed softly and took a puff of cigarette:

"Hoo... I always knew that lives in the Slum were worthless, but I didn't expect to see someone around me die."

Lu Yuan nodded, then he smiled:

"Qinghe Jie, I made more than 400,000 this time, enough for us to move."

Li Qinghe's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard Lu Yuan's words.

More than 400,000, how many materials would that take to sell? Little Yuan only awakened not long ago, right? He can bring out so many materials? Is his strength already so strong? It seems I still underestimated him.

Li Qinghe's thoughts flowed, and the expression on her face as she looked at Lu Yuan was a little unbelievable, and she said:

"More than 400,000? So much? Gene Warriors are so profitable?!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "I'm quite strong, so it's easier to make money, and I was lucky this time, I got something valuable."

Li Qinghe nodded and smiled, "I don't understand the affairs of Gene Warriors, but Little Yuan, you are promising now, you can earn so much money, no wonder you dare to tell me that you will cover the meal expenses."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this, let's leave the Slum too."

Li Qinghe was silent for a while, then sighed: "Little Yuan, I haven't finished my business yet, why don't you leave first?"

Lu Yuan frowned: "How can that be? Tell me what's going on, maybe I can help you. There's still that weird black shadow now, the Slum is quite dangerous, and I'm not too worried about you being alone."

Li Qinghe sized up Lu Yuan, a teasing smile on her face.

Lu Yuan felt a little awkward under her gaze: "What's wrong?"

"Do you know what's going on? Yuan-didi, you can't help elder sister with this."

Lu Yuan saw Li Qinghe's expression, his lips twitched, and he didn't dare to ask more.

He said, "Since that's the case, then I'll wait for you to finish."

Li Qinghe blew out a smoke ring, her gaze softened, and she smiled:

"You really want to take elder sister away from here?"

"Of course, elder sister is the only person who cares about me now. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to survive in the Slum. Of course, I can't leave you alone."

"Alright then, I'll finish as soon as possible. Go back to sleep, I haven't slept since I got back, I'm exhausted."

Back in his room, Lu Yuan opened the Battle Net again.

This time, he had money and the confidence to look at other potions.

The ordinary Healing Potion he bought before was used up during the battle.

There was still one bottle of Superior quality left.

Lu Yuan bought another bottle of Superior quality.

At the same time, he continued to buy a bottle of Superior quality Speed Potion.

Then he bought two bottles of Superior quality Defense Potion.

Not only that, but Lu Yuan also bought two bottles of Superior quality Strength Amplification Potion.

The Healing Potion cost 30,000, the Speed Potion cost 50,000, the two Defense Potions cost 70,000, and the price of the Strength Potion was the same as the Defense Potion, two bottles also cost 70,000.

In total, it was 220,000.

In addition to these, Lu Yuan also bought some other refining items that could be used in the Origin Land.

You never know when they might come in handy.

It cost another 150,000.

All in all, Lu Yuan spent 370,000, and the money in his pocket shrank again, leaving only a little over 70,000.

However, Lu Yuan was still very satisfied.

Thinking about a few days ago, his living expenses for a month were only a few hundred yuan, and even his meals had to be subsidized by Qinghe Jie.

The him from a few days ago would never have imagined that he could have today, spending hundreds of thousands at will.

Origin Land, Sandstone Dungeon small market.

Lu Yuan walked out of the dungeon entrance.

As Lu Yuan came out, people in the market greeted him with smiles.

"Lu Yuan, you're out again?"

"Brother Lu, any gains this time?"

"I'm really envious that you can bring out so many ferocious beast materials every time. Too bad I don't have your strong defensive ability."

Among these people were humans, elves, Cat People, and Kobolds.

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded in response, then walked to Li Luo's stall.

Li Luo's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Yuan, and he revealed a bright smile:

"Mr. Lu, you're here again?"

"Yeah, give me a price."

Lu Yuan poured out the materials from his War Rune Space, piling them up into a small mountain.

"Black-Striped Snake skin and venom sacs, Mr. Lu, you can already kill Black-Striped Snakes? Black-Striped Snakes are already ferocious beasts near the inner circle of the dungeon, right?"

Li Luo couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaim when he saw Lu Yuan's materials.

Lu Yuan smiled:

"My luck was pretty good, I ran into a few lone Black-Striped Snakes."

Black-Striped Snakes generally live in groups, and a single one has 50% to 80% of the strength of an ordinary tempering level, making them very strong.

Being besieged by a snake swarm is no safer than falling into an Ant Nest.

Therefore, very few Gene Warriors can hunt Black-Striped Snakes.

Lu Yuan was only able to kill them because he encountered lone Black-Striped Snakes.

In the past few days, Lu Yuan had entered the Origin Land several times.

With his powerful defensive ability, he rampaged through the dungeon, obtaining a lot of Spirit Crystals and materials each time.

And his gene tempering degree had already reached 39%.

This had already surpassed Zhuo Ming and Wen Ni.

He hadn't even awakened for a month yet, which showed how fast his progress was.

Because of his constantly improving strength, coupled with the Superior Potions he had, Lu Yuan could explore the dungeon more freely.

The dungeon areas he entered each day became deeper and deeper, and the ferocious beasts he killed became more and more powerful.

The number of ferocious beasts he hunted each day also increased.

Once a day, he would leave the dungeon and go to Li Luo to sell materials.

As he went more often, Lu Yuan gradually became familiar with the Gene Warriors in the small market.

The Gene Warriors who often hung around in the market all knew that there was a very young human Gene Warrior who could hunt a large number of ferocious beasts every day and bring back a large number of materials.

In addition, Lu Yuan would occasionally encounter Gene Warriors in the dungeon.

The Gene Warriors had also witnessed Lu Yuan's formidable strength, and as they chatted and exchanged information at the market, word naturally spread.

In no time, Lu Yuan gained a certain reputation in this market.

Because Lu Yuan used Black Iron Body, turning his skin the color of black iron, and because he was a Guardian-type, he was given the title of 'Black Knight'.

It should be known that only Gene Warriors who truly possessed considerable strength could gain recognition within the small circle and earn a title.

This was a symbol of strength.

The circle of this small market clearly regarded Lu Yuan as a powerful expert.

"Hunting Black-Striped Snakes isn't just about luck; you can't do it without strength."

"A total of 3,021 Spirit Crystals, all here. Mr. Lu, please count them."

Li Luo took out the Spirit Crystals.

In the past few days, he had earned more than 30,000 Spirit Crystals, but Lu Yuan had invested most of them into the Evolution Cube.

Even after investing tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals, the Evolution Cube still couldn't evolve the Elite Gene to the Boss level, which gave Lu Yuan a headache. He didn't know how many Spirit Crystals it would take to evolve.

Leaving behind about two thousand Spirit Crystals, Lu Yuan used them for cultivation and absorbing spiritual power.

Lu Yuan took the Spirit Crystals and put them into his War Rune Space.

"No need, we've cooperated so many times, I trust you."

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Li Luo immediately revealed a smile.

Being recognized, especially by a strong person, would make anyone happy.

"That's right! Mr. Lu, I have some news here that you might be interested in."

"Oh? What news?"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, looking at Li Luo with some curiosity.

"It's like this, someone discovered a ruin in the northern part of the inner circle of this Sandstone Dungeon area, and many people are planning to go and take a look."

"A ruin?!"

Lu Yuan's pupils shrank, revealing a look of surprise.

In the Origin Land, the place with the most treasures was not the randomly appearing treasure chests.

But the ruins that appeared in unknown locations.

No one knew how the ruins in the Origin Land appeared.

Unlike treasure chests, ruins seemed to be the products left behind by other civilizations.

They contained various dangers, but also the knowledge and treasures left behind by that civilization.

The discovery of each ruin would make Gene Warriors flock to it, going crazy for it.

To think that there was actually a ruin discovered in the Sandstone Dungeon?!

Lu Yuan's heart beat faster.

He planned to go take a look.
