I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 606: The Reputation of the Dungeon Destroyer Endures
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
Who could truly assure that the mighty beings from higher realms won’t turn their eyes toward Blue Star?
Lin Yi sought to exploit this brief respite to maximize his power growth, saving the cheers and glory for a future moment.
"Lin Yi, esteemed leader, why not let us manage the dungeon runs for your companions? Gangguo’s power may not rival Xia’s, that’s certain, but we’re far from feeble. Moreover, thanks to your recent aid, we’ve nurtured several War God tier powerhouses. Care to join me for a drink?"
Gangguo’s leader was the one who spoke these words.
Upon hearing Lin Yi had arrived nearby, he hurried over instantly to extend a lavish reception to Lin Yi and his group.
In a bid to strengthen ties with Lin Yi, he generously assigned some of their scarce War Gods to support Shenxiao’s promising youths on their quests.
Nangong Ling and her companions could scarcely dream of such honors in their everyday lives.
Though Gangguo lags far behind Xia in national might, it remains a sovereign nation nonetheless.
Lin Yi turned down the offer from the regional head.
The Descent Abyss dungeon known as Green Barbarian Ruins boasts truly formidable difficulty.
Not even a typical War God can promise a perfect clear every time.
Clear rate matters less, yet Lin Yi’s direct involvement would ramp up the dungeon’s challenge and loot, directly benefiting his comrades’ gains. How could he shirk his duty?
After a courteous refusal, the shrewd leader, attuned to emotions, held back from prying, aware of Lin Yi’s intentions, and avoided idle chatter.
All he could offer was to check if Lin Yi’s squad required any supplies that Gangguo might supply.
Regardless of cost or scarcity, holding back made no sense.
In the end, Lin Yi’s advancement mirrored Blue Star’s collective stride forward.
At this juncture, Lin Yi felt no reluctance.
Certainly, he required specific materials.
Elevating the skill cap from Forbidden Curse to Ancient Forbidden Curse, reaching level ten, would vastly amplify Lin Yi’s battle prowess.
Yet these items prove exceedingly scarce. Even mighty Xia, steeped in millennia of legacy, struggled to collect them all for Lin Yi.
As urgency wasn’t pressing, Xia refrained from posting rewards or announcing Lin Yi’s needs publicly, resulting in a gradual, low-key search.
Lin Yi held slim hopes for valuable items from Gangguo, merely noting his requirements in passing.
To his surprise, though Gangguo’s head lacked the Ancient Forbidden Curse upgrade items immediately, he possessed leads on pertinent resources.
"Lin Yi, esteemed leader, hold on a moment~"
Right as Lin Yi traded courtesies and geared up to guide his team inside the dungeon, Gangguo’s leader Latar halted him.
"Lin Yi, esteemed leader, while we lack those materials you listed, we can point you to how to get them. About that De Zhi Xin you brought up, I know where it comes from."
This news made Lin Yi stop dead and pivot back instantly.
"Mr. Latar, tell me more?"
Practically all Blue Star pros know nations maintain private dungeons off-limits to foreigners.
Such instances arise when dungeons don’t suit outsiders or yield treasures too precious to distribute.
Plenty of such dungeons exist.
Details on them, rewards included, rarely see public light.
Thus, it’s no shock Xia overlooked Gangguo’s ability to yield the Earth Element essence De Zhi Xin.
Latar shared details of Gangguo’s exclusive dungeon, Ancient Wild Ridge.
This instance originally tested Gangguo youths at age 24, their results gauging talent to allocate resources fittingly.
Naturally, pros seeking extra state backing could challenge it to showcase their might too.
Unassuming at first glance with no standout features, Gangguo folk had merely skimmed its edges over centuries.
Deeper in, foes grow fiercer, dropping ever more lavish prizes upon defeat.
Among these loots lies the exact skill upgrade item Lin Yi sought: De Zhi Xin.
Still, Latar’s face twisted into a troubled grimace mid-explanation, hinting at a thorny issue.
"Mr. Latar, is there something hard to mention? Rest assured, given my power, clearing the dungeon poses no issue. Should you grant entry, after securing my desired materials, I’ll repay the favor handsomely—say, with twenty thousand skill points or similar...."
Granting Lin Yi access to their private dungeon was no trouble at all.
Not a soul in the entirety of Gangguo would dare object.
Who across Blue Star is unaware that its present glory owes so much to Lin Yi's mighty deeds?
"No, no, no, Lin Yi, great leader, you're far too gracious. It's our honor to let you enter the dungeon."
"We all know full well of your massive contributions to Blue Star and your kindness toward tiny nations like ours. We wouldn't dream of forgetting to express our thanks. However, this dungeon holds great significance for our land. Given your past fame as a dungeon wrecker, we humbly ask you to exercise some restraint on your trip inside, since it's so crucial to Gangguo."
"Could you find it in your heart to hold back...?"
Latar's words drew chuckles from Nangong Ling and his crew.
Lin Yi's legendary fame had truly spread everywhere.
They hadn't even set foot in the dungeon, yet Latar was sweating bullets under the strain.
"Mr. Latar, have no fears. Blue Star has changed completely now. It's stepped into an age of shared resources, and I won't damage anyone's benefits."
"Don't worry, I'll act with caution in every dungeon and avoid stirring up chaos."
These assurances made Gangguo's leaders exhale deeply in relief, showering Lin Yi with endless gratitude.
They even vowed that for the De Zhi Xin material, he could grab whatever amount he pleased, provided it stayed within the dungeon.
With matters resolved, Lin Yi guided Sun Dachuan to the 39th floor of the Descent Abyss dungeon, known as Green Barbarian Ruins.
Danger lurks everywhere in this dungeon.
It earns its Soul Suppressing 4 difficulty rating for solid reasons.
These grounds were once the remnants of Blue Star's most sophisticated ancient civilization.
Not just the required mission items await inside, but surprise prizes might turn up too.
