Chapter 216 A Rare and Unpredictable Thing: The Desert Fruit
Although Lin Zhenzi gave Jiang Chen the green light to enter the Tyrant Desert, Jiang Chen's purpose this time was not to level up or run dungeons, but to find desert fruits.
The requirement to enter the Tyrant Desert has been changed to 100 points, and resetting the dungeon has been changed to 200 points.
You only need 300 points to enter once.
Therefore, he did not intend to carry out a large-scale monster slaughter.
Jiang Chen only sent 10 skeleton warriors as the vanguard, keeping them a certain distance away from the oasis.
He was wearing the Hell's Outpost Set, which was far more powerful than the Silver-tier Spirit Set. "Hell's Outpost Magic Sword (one of the Outpost Sets): Gold-tier weapon, all attributes +500, mage skills amplified by 50%, usable at level 30 and above."
"Hell's Outpost Magic Robe (one of the Outpost Sets): Gold-grade armor, all attributes +300, mage skill cost reduced by 20%, usable at level 30 and above."
"Hell Outpost Ring (one of the Outpost Sets): Gold-grade jewelry, all attributes +100, fatigue recovery speed increased by 30%, usable by level 30 and above"
"Hell's Outpost Bracelet (one of the Outpost Sets): Gold-grade jewelry, all attributes +200, mental energy recovery speed increased by 30%, usable at level 30 and above"
"Hell's Outpost Necklace (one of the Outpost Sets): Gold-grade jewelry, all attributes +400, reduced chance of being controlled by 20%, usable by level 30 and above"
"Set bonus: All attributes +1000, mage skill cost reduced by 25%, mage skill amplification by 25%" These five pieces of equipment are combined into a set, and their attributes are stacked, increasing all attributes by 1500.
The set bonus adds an additional 1000 points to all attributes.
The complete set of equipment provides a total of 2500 points of bonus to all attributes.
Jiang Chen also holds the title of Dragon Clan War King, which provides an additional 500 attribute points.
Therefore, Jiang Chen's total attributes increased by 3000 points.
However, the magic-type skill enhancement attributes in the equipment have no effect on Jiang Chen. The only thing that works is the attribute of reducing the cost of all skills by 50% in the title.
Even so, Jiang Chen's physical strength, endurance, and running speed all increased significantly.
What used to take more than an hour to run, I can now cover in less than 40 minutes.
Seeing that there were no desert fruits hanging on the cactus, Jiang Chen decisively chose to exit the dungeon. He reset the dungeon and entered again.
The second time... the third time...
Jiang Chen entered the instance again and again, searching for desert fruits.
The repeated operations have attracted considerable attention.
Some people don't understand, but smart people understand it immediately.
"Is Boss Jiang looking for desert fruits?"
“Using desert fruits to hone skills is indeed great, but how many points will it cost to repeatedly enter and exit the dungeon and reset it?”
"2500 points per time, 25000 points in 10 times, and 25 points in 100 times. Perhaps only Boss Jiang has such a wealth of resources."
"I definitely wouldn't be willing to give it up. Earning so many points is not easy. I'd rather slowly hone my skills."
"So that's the difference between you and the big boss." Little did they know, Lin Zhenzi had given Jiang Chen the green light.
Jiang Chen only needs 300 points each time.
Even if it costs 2500 points per attempt, Jiang Chen would still make the same choice.
Learning skills little by little is just too slow.
Especially after experiencing the convenience brought by desert fruits, they would not even consider it.
Even the military's skill training grounds are not as enjoyable as the Desert Fruit.
Tried again and again, disappointed again and again.
Jiang Chen once again experienced what it means to have something that is rare and hard to come by.
Last time, when I was leading Lu Qingyu and the other two through a mission, we were incredibly lucky to run into them.
Now, I've used up all my good karma, and I can't seem to find anyone like that.
Jiang Chen didn't give up, and on the thirteenth time, the Desert Fruit finally appeared again. Thirteen times, each time taking more than 40 minutes, he ran for almost eight hours.
They had almost no time to rest during that time, working non-stop.
Even now, with his attributes greatly increased, he's still exhausted.
Fortunately, the desert fruit appeared.
After having the skeleton warriors clear out the larvae next to the desert fruit, Jiang Chen began practicing his skills.
The first skill is Skeleton Fangs.
Of the three newly awakened active skills, summoning the Lich General is the most difficult, so he put it last.
Let's start with something simple.
Skeletal fangs flew out from fingertips.
The pale white light dissipated into 40 skeletal fangs the instant it left the fingertip, hurtling towards the mountain where the anthill was located. The skeletal fangs landed on the mountain, instantly unleashing a series of booming sounds.
The rocks shattered and tumbled down.
It has been perfectly amplified by 40 times, so even at level 1, its power is considerable.
Jiang Chen activated the Bone Fang skill 10 times in one go.
The entire mountain was smashed into a huge crater.
The fallen rocks piled up on the ground, forming a new small hill.
Then the skeletal tooth struck the small hill again, and the hill exploded into fragments.
A level 1 Bone Fang has a very low cost, requiring only 10 points of mental energy.
With the added bonus of the title effect, the cost is halved.
Each time it only requires 5 points of mental energy.
With Jiang Chen's current mental strength of 7000, he can cast it thousands of times.
Jiang Chen would eat a desert fruit each time his mental energy was depleted by more than half.
The roaring sound never stopped.
The Bone Tip quickly rose to level 2.
The number of level 2 Bone Fangs instantly doubled, from 40 to 80, and their power also increased.
Jiang Chen has given up on attacking Gao Shan.
Large amounts of falling rocks have now blocked the entrance to the ant nest.
If this continues, the mountain might collapse.
Rows of brilliant white skeletal bones and sharp teeth roared into the sky, exploding into a dazzling display of light.
If you don't look closely, the stark white of the skeletal fangs is somewhat similar to the holy white light.
In fact, its properties are completely opposite. There is no warmth whatsoever, only astonishing cold.
As he ate the desert fruits one by one, his skill level was rapidly increasing.
Consumption has gradually increased.
When you reach level 10, the skill cost has reached 50 points.
Even after the reduction is halved, it still requires 25 points of mental energy.
The consumption rate of desert fruits also increased dramatically.
Outside the instance, Jiang Chen remained inside for a long time.
Everyone guessed that Jiang Chen had found the Desert Fruit.
"Effort won't be in vain. I counted, Boss Jiang went in and out a full thirteen times before he encountered the Desert Fruit once..."
"I exchanged over 3 points for a single Desert Fruit. I don't know if it's a loss or a gain."
"It's definitely a win for Boss Jiang. I just wonder what new skill he's awakened. He's probably even more powerful than before." "I think so too."
News of Jiang Chen's search for desert fruits to cultivate skills quickly spread.
At Baili Academy, Chen Ziming was seething with hatred.
He cursed Jiang Chen through gritted teeth.
"Some professions become less effective as you progress, and I hope you are one of them."
"One day, I'll make you pay!"
Nowadays, the person who hates Jiang Chen the most in the university is Chen Ziming.
Jiang Chen not only stole Lin Cai'er away, but also made him lose face.
Having been pampered since childhood, he couldn't swallow this insult.
Others also received the message.
Chu Yao sat facing a middle-aged man, with an egg-sized flame crystal on the table.
The flame crystals released a beautiful light, dazzlingly beautiful, far surpassing that of rubies.
Chu Yao smiled and said, "Brother, this is the legendary elemental fragment. Actually, it's not called an elemental fragment; what dropped in the 'Fire God's Palace' should be a flame fragment."
"Five pieces of flame can be combined to form a flame crystal."
The middle-aged man picked up the flame crystal and examined it carefully.
"Legends are always different, but the flame crystals are indeed quite good; they can even be combined to form elemental divine stones."
"It's a pity that crystals of other elements are also not easy to obtain; you can't buy these with money."
"Yaoyao, where did you get this?"
Chu Yao smiled gently: "It was given to me by a friend, so please don't worry about it. If I have the chance, I will try to get other elemental crystals as well."
She stretched out her small hand and said, "Brother, give me some fatigue potion." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't ask. What do you need the fatigue potion for?"
"I need it anyway, so whether you give it to me or not, it doesn't matter!" Chu Yao said coquettishly.
"Here you go, here you go! Yao Yao asked, how could I not give it to her!" The middle-aged man's eyes were full of doting affection, showing how much he loved Chu Yao.
In the dungeon, there are very few desert fruits left.
A flash of white light appeared at Jiang Chen's fingertip.
Skill: Skeleton Fangs.
A burst of white light erupted in front of him, and a full 1200 skeletal fangs shot into the sky with a sharp sound.
Fireworks exploded in the air, filling the sky.
After nearly exhausting all the desert fruits, I finally leveled up the Skeleton Fang to level 30.
From then on, every time he leveled up, his skeletal fangs would also level up.
The level 30 Skeleton Fangs unleashes 1200 fangs each time, and its power is much greater than that of the level 1 version.
Jiang Chen felt that the power of this skill was much stronger than that of a skeleton mage of the same level.
Moreover, it's an active area-of-effect skill, which makes up for one of his weaknesses.
His single-target active attack skill is Soul Burn, and his area-of-effect attack is Skeleton Fangs. Even without skeletons, he has the confidence to fight back.
Looking at the remaining two or three desert fruits.
A red light flashed in Jiang Chen's palm.
The sky suddenly turned a dark red.
Skill: Damage Curse!
The red light of the damage curse deepened, resembling congealed blood.
It's so red it's unsettling.
Begin practicing your second skill.
With the Desert Fruit, speed is key!
