44: Chapter 44 Preparations Before the Opening of the Secret Realm
A young couple was sitting quietly to the side, seemingly long accustomed to everything happening before them.
"Sigh, over a decade has passed in the blink of an eye. I wonder how Yan'er and Mo'er are doing. We left without a trace; I wonder if they blame us."
Yin Kexin sighed softly and said wistfully.
"What are you saying? Yan'er and Mo'er are both good children. If they knew we did this for all of humanity, they wouldn't blame us."
Tang Bochuan wrapped his arms around his wife and comforted her softly.
...
That night, Tang Mo slept exceptionally soundly, and in his dreams, he even saw his long-lost parents.
Beep beep beep~
The loud sound of an alarm clock interrupted Tang Mo's sweet dream.
To have a better chance of clearing the purgatory difficulty dungeon, Tang Mo had to intensify his efforts to increase his poison damage during this time.
Therefore, he set his alarm clock very early.
After getting up, Tang Mo quickly had a bite of breakfast and hurried out of the city.
Before hunting fierce beasts, he still had to clear the Undead Mountain Dungeon.
Not only did it provide a lot of experience, but the drop rates for equipment and materials were also quite impressive.
"Ten days should be enough for me to level up again."
It was still the purgatory difficulty dungeon, and now Tang Mo only needed about five minutes to clear it successfully.
Three runs of the purgatory difficulty dungeon took Tang Mo less than half an hour in total.
Tang Mo obtained three bone crowns and two Gold-grade pieces of equipment in total.
Neither of the two Gold-grade pieces of equipment had better stats than what he was currently wearing, so he threw them directly into his storage space, planning to sell them after returning.
Then, Tang Mo began his hunting journey.
Time passed in this way amidst Tang Mo's compact schedule, and in the blink of an eye, the tenth day arrived.
Ending an exhausting and dull day, Tang Mo returned to the city and sold all the materials and equipment in his hands, obtaining another 700,000 gold coins.
Back home, Tang Mo checked his attributes again.

[Poison Rain (Lv11): Releases poisonous rain, continuously dealing poison-attribute damage to enemies within a 90-meter diameter range. Damage can stack. The damage dealt by the skill, its duration, and the area covered are affected by Spirit value and skill level.]
[Highly Poisonous Vines (Lv9): Summons Highly Poisonous Vines to restrain enemies and deal poison damage to them. The number of vines and the damage dealt are related to Spirit value and skill level.]
[Realm of Death (Lv3): Releases three giant skeleton soldiers condensed from venom to attack a specified target. They deal poison damage to the target. After the giant skeletons are killed, they turn into poison gas that rapidly spreads outwards, dealing poison-attribute damage to all creatures it comes into contact with.]

[Source of Plague (Passive): The poison caused by skills will remain in the target's body until the target dies or the poison is cleared.]
After more than ten days of unremitting effort, Tang Mo had gathered a full set of Gold-grade equipment for himself, and his overall attributes increased dramatically once again.
With the bonus from the Snake Pattern Amulet, the levels of Realm of Death and Hallucinogenic Gas reached level 3.
The number of Highly Poisonous Skeletons also increased from one to three.
The HP of the Highly Poisonous Skeletons is determined by Tang Mo's Spirit value. The poison-attribute damage they deal is consistent with Tang Mo's poison damage. This also made the giant poisonous skeleton soldiers an important trump card for Tang Mo.
Moreover, after ten days of hard fighting, Tang Mo's poison damage reached 60,000 per second. This was even without the bonus from the Highly Toxic Domain.
"Tomorrow is when the secret realm opens; it's time to prepare."
Actually, there wasn't much to prepare, just some food and water, and at most, a tent.
However, others were not so relaxed. The Poison Thunder Swamp was full of all kinds of deadly poisons; just preparing the antidotes required careful attention. If one wasn't careful, they would die directly inside.
Tang Mo's class was Deadly Poison Master, and with god-level passives, he didn't fear any poison at all. For Tang Mo, poison was entirely beneficial and harmless.
The shelves inside the store were filled with all kinds of compressed convenience food. There were compressed biscuits of various flavors, as well as compressed ready-to-eat meat and dried fruits, etc.
As the level increases, the difficulty of the dungeon also increases, and it is normal to spend three to five days in a dungeon. These compressed foods can provide energy well for Professionals.
Before, when leaving the city, Tang Mo just bought some bread to fill his stomach, because he could return to the city at any time, so he didn't need to prepare deliberately.
But this time he was entering a secret realm, and he might have to stay inside for three days. Food could not be so casual anymore.
One had to consider both nutrition and taste, and a mix of meat and vegetables was most suitable.
Putting all the food into the backpack, and then wrapping the backpack in the tent, this way it would only take up one slot in the storage space, and he could take everything away.
