Above his eyes, black and red flames swirled.

Within his pupils, a captivating demonic lotus bloomed.

An unidentifiable power erupted!

The Woman in Black Hoodie, who was chopping the treasure tree, trembled, her gaze filled with surprise.

“An SS-Rank Talent, is it?”

“What a strange Talent.”

She felt as if her spirit was burning at that moment.

But in an instant, a faint darkness flashed, and this nameless flame immediately extinguished.

Tang Ping recovered and looked at the Woman in Black Hoodie: “Sorry, I couldn’t suppress it just now.”

“It’s nothing.”

The two did not speak further.

A few more minutes passed, and the treasure tree suddenly shook, dropping over a dozen treasure fruits, then the entire tree retracted into the ground!

It gave almost no one a chance to react.

There were a total of eighteen treasure fruits on the ground.

Tang Ping swung his sword, drawing a line.

“Those nine are yours, these nine are mine.”

“Alright.”

After picking up all the fruits on the ground, Tang Ping hesitated for a moment before speaking: “How about we add each other as friends?”

The Woman in Black Hoodie’s lips curled upwards: “What, trying to hit on me?”

Tang Ping instantly felt a bit awkward: “No, it’s just that I see you’re quite strong, and we might meet again in the future, so it’s good to get to know each other.”

“My name is Tang Ping, what about you?”

“He Qianci.”

After Tang Ping added her as a friend, the two parted ways, each hunting monsters to gain experience.

“He, that’s a very rare surname.” Tang Ping closed his panel. He didn’t mean anything by it, he just simply saw that she was very strong and wanted to get to know her.

The circle of strong individuals is very small; if they reach the top in the future, they might meet again.

“To reach level four, I need ten thousand experience. SS-Rank experience stones are almost nonexistent in the outside world, and now that Red Lotus Demonic Flame has reached Level Three, I need to hunt quickly.”

Tang Ping entered the town and began to fight rapidly.

The experience value for the SS-Rank Talent Red Lotus Demonic Flame also began to slowly increase.

Three hours later

Tang Ping sat in an abandoned hotel, eating compressed biscuits and canned luncheon meat.

“I wonder how long it will take to raise my Talent to level four.” Tang Ping shook his head slightly. At this time, the experience value for Red Lotus Demonic Flame was only a little over two thousand, of which over fifteen hundred came from chopping the treasure tree.

As for killing monsters, the monsters in this Treasure Dungeon didn’t drop much experience.

Cat-faced children gave one experience point, Lizard Women gave two experience points, and Crocodile Demons gave five experience points.

For players with level 1 or 2 Talents, leveling up was still relatively simple.

But once they reached Level Three, with ten thousand experience points needed, relying on hunting monsters to level up became very difficult.

However, besides experience points, Tang Ping also gained many good things.

Twelve treasure fruits and a pile of materials dropped from killing monsters.

These materials could be sold, because some people’s Talents, or Shelters, could use transcendent materials to forge transcendent weapons.

Of course, there were also blacksmith inheritance secret manuals, but unfortunately, they required a lot of time to learn, and Tang Ping currently didn’t have time for such things.

As for the materials, since his Shelter was large enough, he could just hoard them for now; there was no need to sell them.

Taking out the treasure fruits, Tang Ping wanted to see what good things were inside.

Opening a treasure fruit was simple: just crush it.

“Congratulations, player, for crushing a treasure fruit and obtaining a strength attribute stone + 5!”

“Congratulations, player, for crushing a treasure fruit and obtaining a spirit attribute stone + 5!”

...“Congratulations, player, for crushing a treasure fruit and obtaining an f-rank transcendent weapon, Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Talisman!”

“Congratulations, player, for crushing a treasure fruit and obtaining a C-rank talent upgrade stone!”

From the twelve treasure fruits, he gained: constitution attribute stone + 10, spirit attribute stone + 10, strength attribute stone + 15, speed attribute stone + 10, f-rank transcendent weapon - Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Talisman, f-rank transcendent weapon - Black Gold Bow, C-rank talent upgrade stone.

Tang Ping added all these attribute stones to himself, significantly increasing his strength again.

His D-Rank Blazing Fire Talent also upgraded to C-Rank Blazing Flame.

Moreover, his original D-Rank Blazing Fire Talent already had 9300 experience, not far from ten thousand.

Since he had enough C-rank experience stones stockpiled, Tang Ping upgraded his C-rank Talent to level 4!

During his break, Tang Ping opened the previous transaction with Han Mengfei.

Han Mengfei: “Where are you? Are you still there?”

Han Mengfei: “Hey! Where are you! Are you dead?”

Han Mengfei: “Are we still trading or not, say something!”

Han Mengfei: “@Tang Ping @Tang Ping @Tang Ping @Tang Ping...”

Tang Ping: “I was busy just now, sorry.”

Han Mengfei: “...”

Han Mengfei: “I thought you were dead!”

Tang Ping: “I’m alive and well, don’t worry. Let me see what you sent earlier.”

He scrolled up and quickly found the item Han Mengfei used to trade him the secret manual.

“Mental Defense Item!” Tang Ping’s heart skipped a beat, and he was greatly tempted.

Moreover, this mental defense item was not low-grade; it was B-rank!

Trading it for a secret manual was a huge profit.

Tang Ping: “Okay, but I’m a bit busy right now and won’t be able to trade with you until tonight.”

Han Mengfei: “Okay, I’ve sent you the trade request. Please don’t die.”

Han Mengfei: “Add me as a friend.”

Tang Ping: “No.”

Han Mengfei: “I have an S-Rank Light-element Talent and SS-Rank Shelter characteristics. Are you sure you don’t want to add me?”

Inside a level two Shelter decorated in a very girlish style, Han Mengfei replied to the other party.

“Ding! You have received a friend request! Tang Ping requests to add you as a friend, do you agree?”

Han Mengfei’s mouth twitched. His change of face was faster than her flipping through a math workbook.

Han Mengfei: “I’ll wait for your trade, hurry up.”

Tang Ping: “I will definitely complete the trade with you today.”

Han Mengfei felt relieved. As long as the trade was completed, everything would be fine.

She had originally just asked on a whim, not expecting it to actually happen.

Thinking about learning that powerful secret manual, her Light-element Talent might not necessarily be weaker in combat power than Fire or Lightning type Talents then.

Not like now, where she was practically a super invincible giant sun!

Her combat relied entirely on blinding her enemies.

“Coo-coo!” A golden parrot, emitting a gentle glow, landed on Han Mengfei’s shoulder. “Ni, Coo-coo is hungry, needs to eat! Fry two dishes for Coo-coo!”

Han Mengfei immediately snapped: “Why don’t you say four dishes and a soup, and I’ll fry two dishes for you!”

Coo-coo shook its head: “Four dishes and a soup is fine too, but Coo-coo wants braised pork, braised pig trotters, peanuts and edamame, sweet and sour carp, and a seaweed tofu soup.”

Han Mengfei rolled her eyes: “I think you want to eat braised Coo-coo!”

“One bag of bird feed, eat it or not.”

“Ni is bad, Coo-coo doesn’t eat pre-made food!”

“Eat it or not!”

Treasure Dungeon

After finishing his meal, Tang Ping prepared to continue hunting.

Sounds came from downstairs.

“Sister, do you think the treasure tree will really appear again?”

“We’ve already found the treasure map, so it can’t be fake. But this time it’s outside the town, so let’s sneak out quickly before anyone else finds out!”

“Don’t worry, Sister, we can’t be so unlucky as to have it snatched away again!”

“Besides, Sister, now we both have Level Three A-Rank Talents. I estimate there aren’t many people stronger than us in this dungeon!” Jiang Ziyan said proudly.

“It’s always good to be careful.” Jiang Hongyan vigilantly scanned her surroundings.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her neck, and lowering her eyes, she saw a knife pressed against her throat.

“Hand over the treasure map.”
