Chapter 204 Please, please keep grinding!
In Hongshen's courtyard, Lin Zhenzi was clearly in a bad mood. He glared at Jiang Chen, making Jiang Chen feel extremely uncomfortable.
Being stared at so unfriendly by a god-level powerhouse would make anyone tremble with fear.
Hong Jishi broke the awkward atmosphere with a smile and asked, "Old man Lin, why are you so angry? Your precious granddaughter is back, and you're not even spending time with her?"
Lin Zhenzi then walked over to Jiang Chen and, without any ceremony, picked up the tea in Hong Jishi's teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Then he said, "You upgraded the Vulcan Palace instance, right?"
Jiang Chen nodded and took out the Flame Crystal Fragment, the Fire God Key, and the Fire God Flower. Although the Fire God Key and the Fire God Flower were soul-bound and could not be given to them, it was still okay to let them take a look.
Hong Jishi examined it carefully and then said, "Flame crystal..."
Li Xueru's eyes widened, and Lin Zhenzi also noticed the flame crystal.
Li Xueru suddenly smiled and said, "I see, the rumors were indeed somewhat inaccurate."
Jiang Chen didn't quite understand; he didn't know what these rumors were.
Hong Jishi was already aware of the situation. He explained, "Rumors circulated that merging the five elemental fragments would bring unimaginable benefits. However, the truth is that merging the five elemental fragments would yield an elemental god stone."
"Elemental God Stones can increase the success rate of the second job advancement, raising it to around 30%. You should know that advanced mythical professionals need to undergo two job advancements. The opportunity for a second job advancement is extremely rare."
"Although we have a lot of treasures and various methods, the chances are still very low."
"Legendary elemental stones can increase the probability of a second job advancement to around 30%."
Hong Jishi's words greatly surprised Jiang Chen. If that were true, it would be an extremely valuable thing.
However, obtaining such a thing is by no means easy.
Hong Jishi explained that the electric and light element dungeons are extremely difficult to find, and the legend of the elemental divine stone comes from a very ancient professional who is said to have completed two professional ascensions, but this can no longer be verified.
Lin Zhenzi suddenly suggested, "Let's go farm it a few more times and collect more Flame Crystal Fragments."
Jiang Chen understood Lin Zhenzi's meaning and agreed, "Teacher Lin, I will try to get more Flame Crystals by running the game a few more times. I will also prepare some for Cai'er." Lin Zhenzi's expression softened slightly when she saw that Jiang Chen was willing to cooperate.
At this moment, Hong Jishi turned his attention to the Vulcan Key and Vulcan Flower in Jiang Chen's hands.
After examining the items carefully, the group members all showed expressions of surprise.
"So that's how it was," Hong Jishi exclaimed in surprise.
Li Xueru said calmly, "It is indeed surprising that the real Temple of Vulcan is located there."
Lin Zhenzi stroked his beard: "Keep this. You might need it in the future."
This means that it is not needed at the moment.
As for whether they will need it in the future, they don't know.
After all, even god-level powerhouses are human; they can't possibly know everything.
Jiang Chen wasn't disappointed; knowing the use of the flame crystal was enough.
Jiang Chen decided to go back and revisit the Vulcan Palace several more times, aiming to collect at least three complete fire crystals.
One serving each for myself, my sister, and Ning Cai'er.
Even if he gets Flame Crystal Shards every time, he would still need to farm at least 15 times.
Jiang Chen meditated for a while in Hongshen's courtyard, recovering his depleted mental energy.
At the same time, six more skeleton warriors were summoned, bringing the total number of skeleton warriors to 160.
Two hours later, the skeletons in the summoning queue had fully recovered.
Jiang Chen, Hong Jishi, and the others bid farewell and returned to the dungeon hall.
After glancing at the Vulcan Palace dungeon, Jiang Chen spent points to reset the dungeon's cooldown time.
Entering Hell difficulty now requires 1000 points, and resetting it costs 5000, which is extremely expensive. "Huh? How come resetting the dungeon only costs 500 points?"
"Entering the dungeon only requires 100 points now."
After resetting the instance, Jiang Chen was puzzled by the notification, wondering what had happened.
I tried checking other instances, but found no changes.
The amount that is due is the amount that is due.
The Vulcan Palace instance has become exceptionally cheap.
Tickets and reset fees were both discounted by 90%.
Needless to say, this was a special privilege granted to Jiang Chen by Lin Zhenzi.
After all, he was going to farm Flame Crystals for his precious granddaughter, who might become family in the future, so naturally he had to do her a favor in some ways.
However, he didn't tell Jiang Chen, and he never will.
Jiang Chen didn't understand, but he didn't care anymore. Anyway, it was a good thing to get a discount. He could use the extra points to buy something else.
I just set a new record in the dungeon and received a reward of 1 points, plus 10 contribution points.
Previously, they won the team and individual championships in the professional competition, and the university also awarded them points and contribution points.
He now has 55 points and 500 contribution points.
Suddenly, the dungeon vortex began to shake, and a group of people appeared outside the dungeon.
These people were radiating anger and looked extremely disheveled.
As soon as I came out, the therapist began the treatment very quickly.
Chen Ziming and his group emerged from the instance in a disheveled state.
Their mission to replicate the work ended in failure.
The Hell difficulty of the Vulcan Palace dungeon far surpasses Nightmare difficulty. Not only are the monsters stronger, but the burning power of the fire elementals has also increased significantly.
The four therapists in the team took turns treating patients, and the pressure on them was immense.
Every step forward was fraught with difficulty.
After struggling for two hours, they finally retreated in a sorry state.
Chen Ziming's face was extremely ugly.
Despite being so well-prepared, we still ended in failure.
Given the high level of difficulty, Chen Ziming believed that no other team could possibly overcome it.
"Excuse me, could you move aside? I need to enter a dungeon!"
Chen Ziming and his group emerged from the dungeon in a disheveled state, just in time to block Jiang Chen's path.
"What's the rush? Go to another instance." Chen Ziming was in a very bad mood, and his attitude was extremely hostile. Not only because he had failed, but also because Jiang Chen had actually succeeded.
This proves once again that he is far inferior to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen looked at Chen Ziming: "Are you itching for a beating again?"
Chen Ziming was furious: "What did you say?"
He frowned and looked at him angrily.
Upon seeing Jiang Chen, his expression immediately changed.
"It's you!"
His eyes were filled with hatred, and fear at the same time.
The source of the fear was Hong Ki-seok; he still remembered what happened last time.
Jiang Chen has Hong Jishi behind him; he's not someone to mess with.
"Excuse me, I need to enter the dungeon!"
Jiang Chen said in a low voice.
Chen Ziming snorted coldly and gestured for his men to move aside.
You can't block people from entering the instance; that's the rule. Chen Ziming must also abide by it.
Jiang Chen chose Hell difficulty and entered the dungeon.
Chen Ziming said, "Use the dungeon detection token to see what difficulty level he entered."
One of his men immediately used a copy detection token.
"Young Master, he chose Hell difficulty."
Chen Ziming's expression changed again: "I want to see if he can finish the dungeon."
"Let's rest outside and discuss the strategy for the dungeon."
The dungeon is definitely doable; I just haven't figured out the right method.
They walked outside the dungeon hall, discussing their plans while also peering through the door towards the Vulcan Palace dungeon.
Chen Ziming didn't quite believe that Jiang Chen could complete the Vulcan Palace dungeon solo.
The constant fire elemental damage in the dungeon is impossible to withstand without a healer.
Jiang Chen entered the Vulcan Palace for the second time, and the feeling was completely different from the last time.
This time, it starts at Hell difficulty, which is much harder than last time.
Taking a deep breath, four skeleton warriors appeared in response.
No more were summoned, just four.
As soon as the four skeleton warriors appeared, they ran across the fire bridge at top speed, pulling the fire sprites on the bridge towards the square.
Jiang Chen followed far behind, and could see the four skeleton warriors transform into four balls of flame, running wildly through the dungeon.
They circled the plaza, attracting all the fire spirits there.
Fire spirits are composed of pure fire element and have no corpse after death.
Corpse Explosion is inefficient and cannot be used. Defeating them one by one is too slow to clear them all out.
Unless a large number of skeleton warriors are released.
Last time, I wasted a lot of time cleaning them up.
It's fair to say that two hours of that previous record-keeping session was wasted here.
The four skeleton warriors split into four and each entered one of the four caves.
Although no matter which cave you enter, you eventually have to walk through the entire cave before you reach the exit.
However, there are still a few monsters in the small rooms that need to be lured out individually.
Four skeleton warriors ran back and forth in the cave, attracting all the monsters inside.
They then ran out of the cave and headed towards the Vulcan Palace.
Jiang Chen followed behind as fast as he could and also ran out of the cave!
