25: Chapter 25 A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.
The Ice-Blue Eyed Serpent was no match for Tang Mo and fell once again.
[Killed Level 20 Ice-Blue Eyed Serpent, Exp +91,903, Poison Damage +2, Stamina +0.01]
[Obtained Gold-grade Serpent Pattern Amulet: Spirit +400, All Skill Levels +1, Skill Damage Range +10%, Skill Duration +10%, Level Requirement: 20.]
[Cleared purgatory difficulty dungeon, Exp +20,000]
Tang Mo was completely shocked after seeing the attributes of the Serpent Pattern Amulet.
The attribute entries of this equipment were simply top-tier.
All Skill Levels +1 meant that Tang Mo's God-level Skill levels would also increase by one.
Generally speaking, God-level Skills only level up once every 10 levels.
And based on experience, after a God-level Skill's level increases, it's highly likely that an additional ability will appear.
For instance, after Source Poison reached Level 2, the effect of increasing Stamina appeared.
This was also what made God-level Skills so terrifying.
Tang Mo was now Level 17; he could equip it after three more levels.
Tang Mo had never imagined that leveling up could become this fast.
This was only because the purgatory difficulty dungeon provided so much experience; otherwise, it would probably have taken at least another week to reach Level 20.
Tang Mo estimated that a few more runs of the purgatory difficulty dungeon would allow him to level up again.
The experience given by these wild dungeons was generally higher than that from wild beasts, and the drop rates for equipment and items were also relatively higher.
Therefore, many people flocked to dungeons.
However, the number of times each person could enter a dungeon per day was limited; once the attempts were exhausted, a Dungeon Entry Ticket would be required to enter again.
A single Dungeon Entry Ticket cost 1 million gold coins.
Tang Mo had no use for such an outrageously expensive item at his current stage.
There was still plenty of time before the Unified Examination, so Tang Mo had more than enough time to level up slowly.
Besides, now that he had a steady source of experience, reaching Level 20 was already a certainty.
Stepping onto the teleportation array inside the dungeon, Tang Mo was teleported out once more.
Ma Xueyi had been staring at the dungeon entrance; he knew Tang Mo would definitely reappear.
A flash of white light appeared at the dungeon entrance, and Tang Mo's familiar figure appeared in Ma Xueyi's sight once again.
"He's out!!"
"He's out again!"
Ma Xueyi couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
He clearly remembered that Tang Mo had entered the dungeon less than 10 minutes ago!!
"This speed... he really is a Big Shot!!"
Hearing Ma Xueyi's voice, the other Professionals also turned their heads toward the dungeon entrance and indeed saw Tang Mo.
"Holy crap! He really did come out!"
"It's true, unbelievable. I actually saw a Big Shot who can solo a dungeon. I can brag about this to my grandson in the future!"
Without waiting for them to finish, Tang Mo turned around and entered the dungeon again.
All those Professionals stood up to watch Tang Mo enter the dungeon.
There were also newly arrived Professionals who didn't understand what was happening and looked at them with bewildered faces.
Inside the dungeon, Tang Mo had already fully unleashed his skills.
If Tang Mo had been a bit hesitant at first because he was unfamiliar with the dungeon, he was now completely used to it.
In less than ten minutes, the Ice-Blue Eyed Serpent fell at Tang Mo's feet once more.
[Killed Level 20 Ice-Blue Eyed Serpent, Exp +91,903, Poison Damage +2, Stamina +0.01]
[Obtained Serpents Reverse Scale *1]
[Obtained Gold-grade Serpent King Ring: Spirit +300, Skill Cooldown -10%, Storage Space +10 slots, Level Requirement: 20.]
[Cleared purgatory difficulty dungeon, Exp +20,000]
"Another Gold-grade accessory. These attributes... are passable."
The reason he said they were passable was that this ring offered a 10% skill cooldown reduction.
Furthermore, the 10-slot increase in storage space was also quite practical.
Teleporting out of the dungeon again, Tang Mo suddenly found himself "surrounded."
Ma Xueyi and a group of Professionals had long been waiting expectantly outside the dungeon.
"Hello, Big Shot. My name is Ma Xueyi. I'm most familiar with the Dayang Lake area. If there's anything you need, please feel free to ask!"
"Big Shot, just getting to know you. When can you take us through a dungeon?"
"Yeah! Big Shot, carry us!"
...
Everyone chimed in, all hoping to establish a good relationship with Tang Mo.
After all, who wouldn't want to cling to such a powerful person?
Tang Mo just nodded silently and didn't offer a response.
Tang Mo wasn't some preachy saint who would play the good guy in a chaotic world.
Don't be fooled by their flattery; they might stab you in the back later.
His profession was so powerful that it would inevitably arouse suspicion; by then, his situation would be dangerous.
After all, an innocent man gets into trouble for his wealth.
God-level Skills were something even big-shot figures would covet; this secret must never be known by anyone.
Tang Mo walked straight away from the dungeon entrance, and no one around dared to stop him.
After all, he was someone who could solo a dungeon; his strength was naturally not to be underestimated.
Moreover, someone with such strength must have a background and identity that were definitely not simple.
"Sigh! The Big Shot just left like that."
"What else did you want to do?"
"I didn't want to do anything, I just wanted the Big Shot to take me through a dungeon."
"Don't worry, the Big Shot will come back sooner or later. If we perform better then, maybe he'll be willing to take us."
Everyone felt that what this person said made sense.
After all, asking a Big Shot to take a stranger through a dungeon on the first meeting was a bit too abrupt.
"Next time, I must get on the Big Shot's good side so he can take me through the dungeon."
Ma Xueyi vowed silently in his heart.
After leaving the Dayang Dragon Palace Dungeon, Tang Mo decided to get a set of Level 10 equipment first.
It was a bit pathetic not to have a single piece of equipment on him until now.
Following his memory, Tang Mo came to the area where Level 10 wild beasts roamed in the jungle and began a frantic slaughter.
Although Level 10+ wild beasts gave little experience, they had a chance to drop Level 10 equipment.
Furthermore, after killing wild beasts and monsters, regardless of their level, Tang Mo's poison damage would increase by 2.
Calculated this way, it didn't seem like a loss.
It had to be said that the jungle outside Ning Tong City was larger than that of Jiangkou City; Tang Mo spent half a day just circling the area where Level 10+ wild beasts appeared.
Finally, after killing an unknown number of wild beasts, Tang Mo obtained his first piece of Level 10 equipment.
[Black Iron-grade Leather Armor Boots: Agility +10, Level Requirement: 10.]
With the mindset that something was better than nothing, Tang Mo equipped them immediately.
The empty equipment slots finally had their first item.
Afterward, Tang Mo continued farming.
This time, Tang Mo was only hunting Level 10+ wild beasts, so it wouldn't cause a beast tide.
It wasn't until the sky gradually turned dark that Tang Mo walked slowly back toward the city.
"Boss, it's getting dark. We should hurry back, or the wild beasts will rush out soon!"
"Useless! What are you afraid of! There are so many people outside; how could we be so unlucky that the wild beasts would target only us?"
