Entering the Palace, the Wolf Clan's Dwarf

After declining requests from various friends, Zhang Mingzhen has been extremely troubled by the matter of succession in recent days.

Of course, this is also a happy problem.

These people are constantly looking for ways to gain experience.

He actually understood—if someone could give him a lot of experience for free, he would probably keep a close eye on it day and night.

Witnessing the rapid upgrade speed of "Qin Xiao Youhui", even he himself couldn't help but feel envious.

With the aid of the Power Transmission Pill, lower-level players will catch up with higher-level players much faster, and the level gap between players will not be too large, thus preventing an imbalance in combat power.

However, he also vaguely sensed a sense of crisis.

The game's implementation of this measure is clearly intended to help real-world players improve their skills and thus fight against increasingly terrifying monsters.

He was right.

This is precisely the measure taken by Gao Linzhi, providing humanity with a way to deal with crises.

High-level, rapid skill transfer can bring everyone's average strength closer together.

The urban Warcraft invasion caused by the Skyfall Game system was something Gao Linzhi couldn't control.

He cannot control the upper limit.

Just like the game invasion of the Blue Star world.

After all, he has only read a very small portion of the system's core code so far.

Gao Linzhi could only make slight adjustments.

Give some people a cheat code, add some custom settings.

It's roughly equivalent to the code at the operating system level; he only saw the tenth line, that's about the size.

After all, this is a true universal Golden Finger for all ten realms, a system-based cheat.

How many of the main characters studied the system's core code?

Almost none.

Only a very few protagonists will study the core of the system and try to find out its origins and background.

In the past few days, Zhang Mingzhen has also deeply felt the fervor of game players for experience points.

Fortunately, he didn't come away empty-handed—his experience bar was almost full.

Just clear out one more wave of monsters and you'll advance successfully.

He returned to the outskirts of the Wolf Barbarians Palace and began his daily training.

A beam of light rose, and the level broke through!

"Chongxing (Priest) Level 60"

"Constitution: 4370, Strength: 2310, Agility: 4058, Intelligence: 7158, Spirit: 6118..."

Critical Hit: 560, Combo: 560

Physical Defense: 53,334, Magic Defense: 67,002.

Healing Ability: 33,422 points.

Combat strength: 219,323.

The system issued three announcements in succession:

"Congratulations to player 'Chongxing' for being the first to break through the level 60 mark! Reward: 1000 achievement points and 1000 Gold Coin."

The announcement also stated:

"Skills will no longer be automatically learned after reaching level 60; new skills for each class must be obtained from newly added dungeons."

The brand-new dungeons "Destroy the Wolf Barbarian Clan" and "The Wolf Barbarian Escape" are now officially open!

"The former is for players level 60 to 79, and the latter also requires players to be level 60 or above to enter."

"In addition, the mentor-apprentice system and the companion system are now open, and both mentor-apprentice and companion systems can provide additional experience bonuses for skill transfer."

The news immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among players.

"He's already level 60 Chongxing his Cheater? He's definitely not an ordinary person. We couldn't catch up to that speed even if we tried our hardest."

"Damn it, that guy's cheating, how can you compare?"

"I've only just reached level 30, and they're already twice as far ahead. Can you slow down, pro? We can't even see their shadows."

"We haven't even gotten used to the level 30 dungeons yet, and now level 60 ones are here. This pace is too fast."

"Leaving aside the new dungeons for now, the master-disciple and companion systems are really useful—passing on skills grants extra experience, who wouldn't want a partner? Preferably a gentle and considerate master's wife!"

"Our Fixed Team is recruiting, so come quickly if you're interested!"

"The mentor-apprentice feature is finally online! My mentor and I have been mentor and apprentice since the last game, and now we can explore the God's Domain together again," a beautiful woman said.

"Any girls who need a mentor or companion? I'm pretty strong, I can take on two opponents at once, and I'll help you level up easily!" some sycophants shouted impatiently.

"After level 60, all skills are obtained from dungeon drops. Does that mean players like us who aren't good at combat and are guaranteed to die in dungeons are doomed?"

"Don't panic, there's nothing that Gold Coin can't solve. From now on, we can just buy skills directly."

"Does the Chongxing Master Chongxing accept disciples? If I could become his disciple, it would be like rising to the top in one step."

"I have fair skin, a beautiful face, and I'm also a master of level 10 massage techniques. Master, look here!"

"The pro wouldn't care about your little skills. I bet he's already working on the new dungeon and has no time for us."

"Yeah, the female players we consider scarce have already been thoroughly disgusted by the top players, so there's no need for those female players to pose here."

"What are you saying?"

Just as the World Channel had guessed, Zhang Mingzhen was currently pondering how to enter the Wolf Barbarian Palace.

He didn't care about those so-called beautiful women at all.

He's blind and can't distinguish between beautiful and ugly women; his only focus is on leveling up and increasing his strength.

Upon reaching level 60, he was qualified to challenge new dungeons and advance the questline.

He had already arrived at the Wolf Barbarian Palace.

This is the central stronghold of the Wolf Barbarian Clan.

Not only were there ordinary guards patrolling the area, but the mechanisms at the palace gates were also quite complex.

There is a stone platform on each side of the main gate.

After several attempts, Zhang Mingzhen discovered that both stone platforms had to be lowered simultaneously for the central stone gate to open.

However, each stone platform requires sufficient weight to be activated.

After he stood on it, the system prompted that four more people needed to stand on the same stone platform.

In other words, to open the palace gate, a total of ten people would need to hold down the two stone platforms simultaneously.

Of course, he also tried using stones or other things to add weight.

The result indicated that it would not work.

It must be the weight of a living organism.

It's like they're offering a sacrifice, with all sorts of demands.

He immediately contacted the War Alliance Guild —the guild already had some understanding of the Wolf Barbarians and roughly knew his location, making them undoubtedly the most suitable person to ask for help at the moment.

"Chongxing just contacted me; he needs nine people to help him trigger the mechanism."

"Who's willing to go? Organize a small team to the Wolf Barbarians territory as soon as possible. We've been wanting to explore that area thoroughly, and this time we can verify our previous speculations with our own eyes," Guild Leader War Sky asked the group.

"Wow! I was the one who took on this mission, I have to see what's inside!" "One Sword Nine Provinces" responded first.

"Then select eight more members to accompany you and take the opportunity to find out what's inside the palace," Vice President Steel Bone instructed.

Shortly after, Zhang Mingzhen received a reply from the War Alliance: "A nine-person team is on its way, including One Sword Nine Provinces, who has taken on the mission."

"However, since Ordinary Player find it difficult to break through the defenses of the Huangtu warriors at the cave entrance, and are even less able to deal with the subsequent Lang Man guards, we hope that you will personally come to the cave entrance to meet us -- Steel Bone."

"Alright, I'm waiting at the cave entrance." Zhang Mingzhen recovered his Steel Bone, several indistinct figures appeared in the distance.

Upon approaching, they saw a berserker leading eight assassins.

It seems they're trying to use their invisibility to avoid the monsters' attention and maximize their survival rate.

Zhang Mingzhen turned to his nine companions and gestured, "Just follow me. There's no need to fight. Let's get to the palace entrance as soon as possible."

Before he finished speaking, he had already taken the lead, clearing away the monsters blocking the way and leading everyone toward their destination at breakneck speed.

Having previously accepted the prerequisite mission, "One Sword Nine Provinces" was now filled with turmoil.

He never imagined that this task, which had troubled him for so long, could be completed in such an easy way.

Although the guide who was supposed to hand over the mission had long since disappeared, he still managed to reach the mission marker and receive half of the reward.

In particular, the abundant experience points were enough to raise his cultivation level by a whole level!

"Thank you so much for your help, Master!"

Unable to contain his excitement, One Sword Nine Provinces shouted to Zhang Mingzhen, "If it weren't for your intervention, this mission would have been delayed indefinitely!"

"This reward of experience points is just too much!"

Actually, he was also feeling frustrated.

They could have taken them all, but someone else beat them to it.

Seeing One Sword Nine Provinces's ecstatic expression, Zhang Mingzhen shook his head.

The young man was unaware that the main rewards of the mission had already been taken by himself, and what he received was only a small fraction.

However, Zhang Mingzhen forgot that the other party wasn't stupid; how could they not know this?

I just didn't want to say it out loud and upset everyone.

"The five of you will go and stand guard on the opposite stone platform, while the remaining four will wait with me on this platform."

"Once the palace gates open, you may leave as you see fit," Zhang Mingzhen instructed, adding as a final note, "One Sword Nine Provinces remains."

He was considering that the young man had previously been involved in related missions, and might be able to enter the palace without being restricted by his level.

If the trip goes ahead, we'll take him along as a way to gain experience; if it doesn't, we can only blame his bad luck.

It was clear that this expert, known as "Chongxing," had no intention of forming a team to explore.

Apart from One Sword Nine Provinces, who was overjoyed, the others felt regret but were helpless.

The palace gates then opened as expected.

The other eight people were teleported back to the cave entrance.

If one wishes to return to the town on their own, the only way is probably to respawn in the town after falling.

"Follow me," Zhang Mingzhen said to the One Sword Nine Provinces who had stayed behind. "If we can enter the palace, wait inside for me to complete the challenge and we'll share the rewards."

"If we cannot enter, we will turn back with them."

One Sword Nine Provinces immediately replied, "I will follow your instructions, Great God!"

Zhang Mingzhen didn't say much. The two stepped into the palace gate side by side. After confirming that the boy had successfully entered, Zhang Mingzhen told him to wait at the entrance.

He simply needed to follow the system announcements to claim his rewards, while he himself ventured deeper into the palace alone.

Watching the departing figure, One Sword Nine Provinces felt a deep envy.

He thought to himself, "If only I had a cheat code!"

[Hey game designer, give me a cheat code!]

I really want a cheat code! I really want a cheat code!

I'm so desperate for a cheat code!

[As long as I have the cheat code, I'll do whatever the game designer tells me to do...]

His feelings were so strong that the information from his brainwaves was directly transmitted to Gao Linzhi.

Gao Linzhi saw this message from player "One Sword Nine Provinces," and for him, there were far too many messages like this.

How many? Similar to people in real life who pray every day for wealth and Immortality...

However, this guy's feelings were excessively strong.

It's also somewhat similar to the meme about Hu Hai, "I so desperately want to be emperor..."

This piqued Gao Linzhi's interest.

So he casually adjusted the permissions.

It's similar to how some wealthy people in real life casually take out tens of millions of US dollars to organize events, and those who succeed in these events will ultimately have their lives changed.

For example, wilderness survival.

Of course, the prize money is in the millions of dollars, but even so, many people have already risked their lives to sign up.

Don't assume the rescue team will arrive in time; there is still danger.

After all, anything can happen in the wild.

Passing through the palace gate, Zhang Mingzhen was greeted by a long, sloping corridor.

Ahead stood Lang Man archer wielding a longbow, whose level was clearly much higher than that of their counterparts outside.

The moment they stepped into the attack range, a hail of arrows, accompanied by the sound of them piercing the air, rushed towards them.

Judging from the intensity of the offensive, the archers inside these palaces were far more skilled than those outside, making them a truly elite force.

They were followed by Wolf Barbarian Shaman and warriors.

All three professions are deployed within the palace, and their ranks are generally much higher than those outside.

Zhang Mingzhen quickly cleared out the guards to prevent the "One Sword Nine Provinces" at the entrance from inadvertently arousing the monsters' hatred and being instantly killed.

After all, these are monsters above level 60, far beyond what a teenager at his current level can withstand.

After advancing more than 100 meters along the downhill passage, he arrived at a flat, square plateau.

Ahead, another staircase rises, and in the distance, one can see monsters swarming the upper platform, so densely packed that there is almost nowhere to step.

It seems this platform is the first obstacle.

Teams lacking sufficient defense and survivability would likely be wiped out here, as the sheer number of monsters is overwhelming.

Zhang Mingzhen unleashed his "Eagle Strike," leaping onto the platform and immediately launching a wide-range attack in all directions.

The Lang Man monsters here are not only powerful in attack, but also possess Powerful control techniques.

They can imprison their opponent's movements while launching a fierce attack.

Those with slightly weaker defenses are likely to be killed instantly.

Clearing out the monsters on the platform took him quite a bit of time.

Not only because of their large numbers, but also because most of them possess control skills, a slight misstep can restrict their movement and make it difficult for them to use their moves.

In team battles, this area must be equipped with top-tier defensive warriors to draw aggro at the front, creating a safe attack environment for the damage dealers behind.

After eliminating all the monsters, a treasure chest emitting a faint glow appeared on the spot.

Zhang Mingzhen continued on his way after only gaining a few hundred thousand experience points and some Gold Coin.

Of course, this is already quite satisfactory for the Ordinary Player.

If other players in the God's Domain world knew that he didn't care about experience points and Gold Coin, they would probably make sarcastic remarks.

They also mocked him for putting on airs.

But given Zhang Mingzhen's current wealth, he often needs six million experience points to level up.

These hundreds of thousands of experience points are indeed insignificant in the face of complex task processes, and the same goes for Gold Coin.

He came here to find skills, and he was already disappointed that no skills dropped. He only hoped that Boss-Level Demon would appear and bring him a surprise.

Just as I was pondering this, I suddenly heard the sound of children playing ahead.

There were sounds of children playing!

How could there be such a commotion deep within this Secret Realm?

Zhang Mingzhen suspected that he was imagining things.

He followed the sound and entered a stone chamber.

Sure enough, they saw a Wolf Barbarians dwarf playing with a giant wolf.

The two are very close, much like the relationship between a contractor and Summoned Beast.
