Chapter 1 The Heavenly Palace Turmoil

The newly launched dungeon is called Heavenly Palace Turmoil.

It mainly tells the story of the decline of the Heavenly Palace.

There's a very complex background behind it.

But as a simple dungeon, it's actually not that complicated.

It's about twelve devils uniting to attack the Heavenly Palace, including the Giant Ape King.

Yes!

The Giant Ape King, who was killed countless times by players in previous dungeons, is now a protagonist again.

The difference is that this time, the Giant Ape King is even more powerful.

Level 120.

Two million health!

Its attack power can instantly kill Lin Chen.

Very terrifying.

But, it has eleven other devils by its side.

Double-Headed Monster, Flame Demon, Cyclops, Nine-Headed Serpent, and other monsters are jointly attacking the Heavenly Palace.

And the forces of the Heavenly Palace are not united.

So, this dungeon hopes that players can help resist the twelve devils.

Isn't this what Lin Chen said about the game being a combination of Eastern and Western fantasy? There's the Heavenly Palace, the Nantian Gate (South Heaven Gate), but at the same time, the actual Heavenly Palace is not the place where the omnipotent gods reside.

It's more like a system of divine power formed by various gods sending their representatives to rule a continent, but the gods also harbor ulterior motives.

Then, in the Heavenly Palace, there are also twelve Divine Palaces.

Corresponding to the twelve main gods.

There are also signs of leaning towards the myths of the twelve constellations, the twelve zodiac signs, and so on.

In short, it looks like a combination of various mythological elements.

"Should we try the normal difficulty first?"

Xue Mo suggested, "None of us have played this new dungeon before, so it wouldn't hurt to try it out."

Lin Chen didn't object to this.

He couldn't possibly find a bug right away and suggest playing the highest difficulty, which would only make Xue Mo suspicious. Besides, if the first clear of the normal dungeon can make it to the top of the leaderboard, there is also a Supreme Treasure Box reward.

It's just that the normal dungeon is a bit boring.

Lin Chen looked at the introductions of various difficulty levels of the dungeon, and then said, "The normal difficulty Heavenly Palace Turmoil is actually just a matter of brute force, it's a competition of everyone's output. When we go in later, everyone should just go all out."

The normal-level dungeon weakens the attributes of the twelve devils by 30%, and also disables many powerful skills. For the current configuration of Lin Chen's team, and their respective equipment, it is definitely not difficult.

The number one wind mage and number one priest in the entire server.

Bai Shuyi, Xiao Niao Yiren, is currently the third-ranked warrior in the entire server.

The two above her are said to be internet celebrities who spend money on equipment for a couple of days to create hype and then delete their accounts. Moreover, their combat power is not much higher than Bai Shuyi's.

Bai Shuyi must also have a full set of War God equipment with full enhancements, and nine-star crafted gear. The only difference is probably in her pet; she doesn't pay much attention to pets.

Xue Mo's class is Elementalist.

Yes!

This is a hidden class.

She is also the only one with a hidden class among the five.

Moreover, she was a player who consistently ranked in the top thirty of the overall leaderboard before the game announced its shutdown.

It can be seen that she should be a very wealthy female player with strong financial resources.

A real Bai Fumei (rich, beautiful, and successful woman).

Finally, the slightly weaker one is Zhang Chunlin.

His equipment and pet were all obtained after the game announced its shutdown, and they are not worth even a million combined. He also didn't go for a set, but all nine-star crafted gear. His class is Knight.

He's just there to tank monsters.

I don't know if he can withstand it.

But it doesn't matter, there's also Jian Long.

The normal dungeon difficulty is not high.

The five people pushed through all the way, and all three of Lin Chen's pets were deployed. In the state of letting the pets play freely, Zhu Niao (Vermilion Bird) actually contributed 26% of the team's output.

Very terrifying!

This also made Bai Shuyi doubt her life. She said, "How is that possible? I go all out, and only deal 23% of the team's damage. I'm the third-ranked warrior in the entire server! Is Zhu Niao that strong?"

Xue Mo laughed: "Not bad, we took the first place on the normal leaderboard, and we are eight minutes ahead of the second place, so probably no one can catch up... Zhu Niao's output is indeed terrifying, but Lin Chen seems to have been using wind magic skills to assist Zhu Niao in dealing damage, right? Shuyi, don't be discouraged, warriors are inherently worse at killing monsters than mages, let alone Lin Chen's Zhu Niao, which is the number one pet on the pet leaderboard, and has five damage skills, most of which are large area skills."

"No, I'm going to collect Prism Eggs later, I must open one that's even more powerful than Zhu Niao!"

Bai Shuyi was stunned by Zhu Niao's terrifying output, and she refused to admit defeat and said that she wanted to get an even more powerful pet to surpass Lin Chen's Zhu Niao.

To this, Liu Mengyao laughed, "You can't surpass it, Zhu Niao is a mythical-level pet, with a growth rate of SS+. In the entire *New World* twenty years, only three mythical pets have appeared, and the other two are not as powerful as Zhu Niao."

"I don't believe it... I'm going to post a message right now to buy 10,000 Prism Eggs!"

Bai Shuyi said with a smile that was not a smile, not knowing if she was serious.

Zhang Chunlin couldn't get a word in, after all, Bai Shuyi and Xue Mo were both Bai Fumei, goddesses in the game. Now he finally found a chance, and immediately said, "I guess you can't get that many Prism Eggs now. By tomorrow, the market in this game will be completely silent... Haven't you seen the news? Someone has compiled statistics from major live broadcast platforms, and as of noon, those internet celebrities have destroyed a total of 3.8 million pieces of equipment, and released 6 million pets, and the number of various props destroyed has exceeded 100 million!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Chunlin also had a look of helplessness and emotion on his face.

The game is going to shut down.

Moreover, there is no compensation.

The players' mentality naturally exploded.

In addition, the internet celebrities who were蹭热度 (ceng re du - trend chasing) added fuel to the fire, leading to the fact that the *New World* online game, which was once popular all over Blue Star, is estimated to completely sink into silence in a few days.

In fact, every *New World* player should feel unwilling and regretful.

However, no one can change anything.

"Then I have to hurry up and place an order!"

Bai Shuyi's thoughts were pure. It seemed that other people's emotions couldn't affect her at all. Money didn't matter, as long as she had fun.

Liu Mengyao also had the same mentality.

"Let's continue, this time we'll challenge the hard difficulty."

Lin Chen smiled, "Let's challenge every level once, get all the Supreme Treasure Boxes, and then open more pet equipment."

The pet equipment in *New World* is non-tradeable, and it will not be damaged, indicating that once the pet's lifespan reaches zero and it dies completely, the pet equipment will also disappear.

Therefore, it is impossible to obtain pet equipment on the market.

If you want good pet equipment, you must fight for it yourself.

The hard dungeon was also a straight push.

Lin Chen's team was very fast. When Bai Shuyi saw that her output couldn't keep up, she also started to slack off, so Lin Chen put in a little more effort, maintaining a fast pace.

As a result, Bai Shuyi took it even further and simply stood still.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Mengyao questioned.

Bai Shuyi laughed, "Hehe, I'm opening eggs!"

This girl actually went to collect Prism Eggs, and she's opening them in the dungeon...

It can only be said, that's her!

Half an hour later, everyone pushed to the front of the level 120 Giant Ape King.

At this time, Bai Shuyi exclaimed, "Haha, Mythical... why is it a puppy!"

The exclaimed and screamed Bai Shuyi quickly looked depressed.

"What puppy?"

Everyone looked over curiously while fighting the monster.

"Tengu (Heavenly Dog)... Wow, it really is a dog!"

Bai Shuyi was about to cry, "I don't like dogs, a cat would have been fine!"

Hearing her words, everyone was speechless.

"You... post the attributes for us to see." Xue Mo's voice trembled slightly, also very envious.

Bai Shuyi's luck is too good!

She said she wanted to open a mythical pet, and she actually opened one?

Team channel.

[Xiao Niao Yiren: (Tengu)]

She posted the attributes.

[Tengu]

[Owner: Xiao Niao Yiren]

[Quality: Mythical]

[Overall Growth Evaluation: SS+]

[Level: 1]

[Constitution: 120]

[Strength: 190]

[Spirit: 80]

[Indomitable Fighting Spirit: When Tengu takes damage in battle, it will trigger Indomitable Fighting Spirit. For every 1% of health lost, attack speed and double defense increase by 0.8%.]

[Ancient Bloodline: Tengu's maximum health is permanently increased by 50%, and it is immune to confusion.]

[Crazy Devour: After actively using it for ten seconds, Tengu gains a bloodthirsty state. Attacking the target will recover 30% of the damage as health, with a cooldown of five minutes!]

Good lord!

Tengu's attributes and talent skills are simply an invincible fighting dog divine pet!

And Bai Shuyi is still not very happy?

"So angry, I suspect Shuyi is deliberately being a showoff!" Xue Mo said, feeling very speechless.

She wanted such a pet too.

"That's right, I don't even have a mythical pet!" Zhang Chunlin also had a look of envy.

However, Liu Mengyao said, "She was bitten by a dog when she was a child, and she's been afraid of dogs ever since."

She explained for Bai Shuyi.

"This is in the game, not reality, what's there to be afraid of!"

Lin Chen said angrily, "Otherwise, you can give me the Tengu, and I'll give you the Flying Rat?"

"No!"

Bai Shuyi was about to cry, "I'm even more afraid of rats!"

"Haha..."

Everyone laughed.

Lin Chen also laughed.

Of course he wanted the Tengu.

But Lin Chen knew that the Tengu was more suitable to follow Bai Shuyi, the Valkyrie.

After all, the classes are very compatible.

Letting it follow Lin Chen would not allow it to exert its greatest effect.

Besides, a gentleman does not take what others love.

"Another Supreme Treasure Box..."

Lin Chen was delighted, then smiled and said, "Let's continue!"

Today there is a chance to brush up to eight Supreme Treasure Boxes.

We can collect two sets of pet equipment.

At this time, Xue Mo said, "I'm going to slack off and open Prism Eggs later too, but I'll also output... I just thought about it, aren't many internet celebrities destroying eggs now? I think the chance of getting good pets is very high right now!"

It seems, that's really the case!
