You Owe Me Another Skill Book Now!

After leaving the dungeon, Chen Feng was in a very good mood.

In this short period of time, he had already collected three Skill Books.

[Whip of Wood (E)]

Introduction: Wood-type attack skill. Summons a wooden stick and whips the target, causing a small amount of damage.

[Earth Barrier (D)]

Introduction: Earth-type defensive skill. Raises an earth barrier to form a solid wall to protect oneself. 

[Eternal Night Magic Ball (B)]

Introduction: Dark-type control skill. Releases a magic ball filled with dark elements. It can deal continuous damage and blindness to enemies within its range. (Results in blindness: Loss of vision, inability to release aiming-type skill.)

These three Skill Books were used for three different purposes: attack, defense, and control.

What surprised Chen Feng the most was the Dark Elemental Skill Book of [Eternal Night Magic Ball (B)].

Among the nine elements, water, fire, wind, earth, and wood were the most common.

Thunder, ice, light, and darkness were known as the four rare elements. Elemental skills were often stronger than the five other elements mentioned above.

The path of collecting elemental magic was much smoother than Chen Feng had imagined.

It had only been a day, but Chen Feng had already collected half of the rarest ingredients.

　　...

"We're about to enter the [Hard] difficulty level dungeon," Sakurai Longzi said nervously. 

[Dungeon: Red House Gynecology Hospital]

[Recommended Level: Level 1- Level 5]

[Recommended Pax: 5-10 people]

[Introduction]: Due to certain reasons, strange baby cries can be heard from the Red House Gynecology Hospital. Many dolls came to life and were filled with hatred and the desire to attack humans. Some of these toys have formed small teams with combat power that are beyond your wildest imaginations. If you are prepared to die, you can come in and try! 

After reading the introduction, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

After choosing the [Hard] difficulty level, even the introduction of the dungeon had changed.

It seemed that…this dungeon was truly complicated. 

After their figures flashed, Chen Feng and Sakurai Longzi appeared in the empty hospital corridor.

They were in a different place from before. They were now on the second floor of the Red House Hospital.

"[Normal] difficulty level is on the first floor whereas [Hard] difficulty level is on the second floor… Then wouldn't [Hell] difficulty level be on the third floor?"

Chen Feng looked up at the ceiling.

He released his mental power tentacles, and he sensed a deathly sense of danger above his head.

There seemed to be something scary upstairs.

"Chen Feng!" Sakurai Longzi suddenly grabbed Chen Feng's arm.

"What's wrong?"

"Did… did you hear… the cries of a child?" Sakurai Longzi's face was pale. Although she had awakened an SS-rank talent, she was still a young girl in her twenties.

Hearing the scary cries in this empty hospital still sent chills down her spine.

Chen Feng held his breath and focused. He could also hear the occasional cry of a baby.

However, he was not that afraid.

After all, he was a player that had been reborn. He had even entered a cave dungeon before, let alone beginner dungeons like this.

The cries of a baby were nothing to him.

"I heard it, but...Belle, can you take your hands off me?"

Sakurai Longzi lowered her head and realized that she had been grabbing onto Chen Feng's arm due to her nervousness.

"Cough, cough!"

Sakurai Longzi blushed and quickly retracted her hand. She coughed twice to ease the awkwardness.

"Hurry up and clear the dungeon!"

The two of them walked down the corridor, and soon, they ran into a group of dungeon monsters.

Level 5 [Bear Plushie Warrior], Level 5 [Toy Monkey Archer], Level 5 [Toy Cat Mage].

[Normal] and [Hard] difficulty levels were completely different from each other.

Three doll monsters appeared at the same time. They had different jobs, and they cooperated well with each other. 

The warrior standing at the front had a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right.

There was an archer with a large bow several meters behind him whereas there was a mage with a staff further behind him.

The combination of close combat and long-range attacks increased the difficulty level by several times.

"I'll lure the monsters!" Sakurai Longzi said as she shook the silver bell in her hand.

Ring—

A crisp and pleasant ringtone sounded, and Sakurai's charm spread along with the ring of the bell. 

"Can you handle so many monsters?"

Chen Feng asked suspiciously.

Although Sakurai Longzi had a high level and good equipment, there was more than one enemy now.

"Of course I can!"

Sakurai Longzi was not willing to give in. She then increased the speed at which she rang the bell.

The three dolls seemed to be possessed as they followed the sound of the bell and aimed all their attacks at Sakurai Longzi.

"After being charmed, the monsters' damaging power will be reduced by 50%. Don't worry about the damage!"

Sakurai Longzi said proudly.

She was indeed quite strong. The arrows and magic balls that flew from the opposite side were all blocked by her delicate and small shield. The monsters could not cause any damage to her.

"Holy Light Spell!" 

Chen Feng did not waste his breath.

He took out the Winter Green Wood Staff and cast the Holy Light Spell.

The holy light shone warmly on friendly targets. However, when it landed on dark-type creatures, it was as if sulfuric acid was being poured on them.

Whoosh—

Clouds of black gas seeped out of the [Toy Cat Mage] 's body as its health points decreased continuously.

Sakurai Longzi suddenly felt that Chen Feng was quite reliable when she saw his attacks.

At least…sometimes. 

Based on the damage dealt by the Holy Light Spell, he could kill these three monsters in a minute.

The [Hard] difficulty level dungeon seemed to be nothing great. 

The effect of working together with Chen Feng was actually quite good. Perhaps they could try challenging the difficulty level of [Hell]…

Various thoughts flashed through Sakurai Longzi's mind.

However, she did not notice that a near-transparent shadow was closing in on her.

Suddenly…

A sudden change occurred!

A sharp cold light flashed.

The moment the transparent figure appeared, it attacked with extreme agility!

She was too careless! It was the Level 5 [Toy Rabbit Assassin]!

The doll was invisible from the beginning, so neither Chen Feng nor Sakurai Longzi noticed its existence.

The special skill of the [Toy Rabbit Assassin] allowed it to be immune to the control of the other party when it was invisible.

Therefore, the doll had been hiding inside the shadows.

It only swung its dagger at Sakurai Longzi at a lightning speed when she let her guard down! 

"Ah!"

When Sakurai Longzi noticed the assassin's attack, it was already too late.

Her clear eyes were filled with fear as she screamed out loud.

He had to admit that Sakurai Longzi, who had the SS-rank talent of [Succubus Temptation], was the embodiment of desire.

Her cute appearance, coupled with the scream that she let out when she was scared.

Chen Feng's heart skipped a beat. Of course…it only lasted for a moment…

"We're done for! We're done for!" 

Sakurai Longzi's face turned pale.

Given her reaction and speed, there was no way that she could dodge such an attack.

The shining dagger glinted coldly. It was only a few centimeters away from her face.

At this critical moment, Sakurai Longzi felt a warm arm wrap around her waist.

Chen Feng's voice rang out in her ears.

"Flash Spell!" 

Light flashed as the two of them appeared ten meters away.

Sakurai Longzi's heart was pounding. She did not know if it was because of the danger just now or because this was the first time she was in such close contact with a man.

"Thanks for saving my..."

Sakurai Longzi blushed as she spoke.

However, soon enough, she realized why she had been feeling weird. After the Flash Spell, she was still in Chen Feng's embrace. The two of them were basically stuck together.

In a sudden flash, Sakurai Longzi broke free from Chen Feng's embrace and immediately returned to her usual arrogant self.

"Although you saved me, you can't take advantage of me!"

Chen Feng laughed in disdain and said, "Look at your flat body. You don't even have breasts or hips. Who would take advantage of you? I think that… it's my loss instead."

The toy monster was still on the battlefield, so the two of them quickly entered the battle once again.

However, Chen Feng was slightly distracted when he cast the Holy Light Spell.

He recalled the feeling of holding Sakurai's body.

That feeling… was not that bad. 

Cough cough cough cough!

　　...

With their cooperation, they quickly killed all four of the dolls.

The [Toy Rabbit Assassin]'s hidden skills had a long cooldown period. 

Therefore, it was no longer a threat after it revealed itself. 

The other dolls were also killed by Chen Feng's holy light. Light elemental magic was the natural bane of these dark creatures. They could not defend themselves against it. 

"Pick it up!" 

The moment he cleared the dungeon, Chen Feng finished picking up the rewards.

Before Sakurai Longzi could even react, the spoils of war from clearing the dungeon had all fallen into Chen Feng's hands.

"He isn't a gentleman at all!" Sakurai Longzi could only curse inwardly.

However, Chen Feng's attention was not on her.

He scrolled through the comments.

[Your team killed the Level 5 Bear Plushie Warrior and obtained the equipment—Iron Greatsword (White)]

[Your team killed the Level 5 Toy Monkey Archer and obtained the material—Fire of Heart]

[Your team killed Level 5 Toy Cat Mage and obtained the equipment—Coagulation Ring (Blue)]

[Your team killed Level 5 Toy Rabbit Assassin and obtained the material—Blade Essence]

"Blue equipment?"

Chen Feng's eyes lit up as he immediately took out a silver ring from his spoils of war.

The ring was carved with an intricate design that sparkled with a bright silver light. It was very small and exquisite. Even as an accessory, it was very beautiful.

Name: [Coagulate Ring]

Quality: Blue

Introduction: It is a ring that has obtained the blessings of God. The casting speed of the skill will increase by 20% and the consumption of mental power will decrease by 20%.

(This item is exclusive for women)

After reading the introduction, Chen Feng was speechless.

This equipment could only be used by females. Otherwise, it would have been a good option for him.

Chen Feng turned to look at Sakurai Longzi.

"Give me your hand."

"Huh?" Sakurai Longzi was first taken aback before she hesitantly extended her slender hand.

Chen Feng placed the ring on her ring finger straight away.

Sakurai Longzi's pupils dilated.

She did not expect Chen Feng to suddenly do something like this. No matter when it was, there was profound meaning behind a man putting a ring on a girl's ring finger.

And it was such a precious blue accessory!

Sakurai Longzi's face flushed red to the roots of her ears. "Chen Feng, you… you are…"

"Are you very touched?" Chen Feng asked softly.

Sakurai Longzi seemed to have yet to recover from her shock. She simply nodded involuntarily.

"Very good."

Chen Feng revealed a satisfied smile.

"Based on our deal, there should be an equivalent exchange, so… you owe me another Skill Book!"
