Chapter 97: Massive Profit, No Losses

Andu Dana had died after being stabbed.

But his soul could not rest in peace either. It was purified by the Pastors and turned into dust due to exposure to holy light. It did not even get the chance to revive.

Once again, William earned thousands of experience points. A pity though, as many people had participated in this fight. Even the Troll had earned some experience. William did not gain as many Rewards as he had received when he had killed the devil by himself.

But the battle at Devil's Den had finally come to an end.

The remaining 2000 undead and darkness soldiers did not even have the chance to walk out of the Devil's Den. Will sent all of them flying towards a corner.

"Makhu Redd is very smart. He sensed that he was no match for us, so he summoned this fellow to divert our attention and ran away." William was full of hatred. He had missed the chance of killing Makhu Redd.

He was a far more threatening enemy than Andu Dana.

Devils who had the advantage of bloodline, like Andu Dana, were even worse than low-level devils in terms of thought.

They were the children of the Lord devil. Each of them had a large manor, and thousands of devils, skeletons, and darkness soldiers under them.

Low-level devils had to fight if they wanted to bootlick, but Andu Dana did not have to do so.

Their territory in the Dark World was very vast. He did not need to fight for authority with his brothers. All he had to do was quietly wait in his own territory, and there would be plenty of delicacies for him to enjoy.

Besides that, they would often obtain sacrifices from mages, warlocks, and sorcerers.

After all, Andu Mali and the rest were far too strong.

But ordinary sacrifices did not move him. Thus, he distributed most of the sacrifices offered to him to his children.

But Makhu Redd was different. This dark warlock was cunning, insidious, and emotionless. He could use anyone and would employ any means to achieve his objectives.

This time, in particular, he had prepared many methods, one of them being Altaic's army of Orcs. If they managed to ambush the Dawn Army, many of their soldiers would become victims for the sacrificial ceremony instead.

William and his army left the misty valley, and suddenly a blinding ray of white light shot out of the mountains.

Crash!

Half of the misty valley had also been sent flying!

Soil, trees, and even heavy boulders that weighed tonnes flew into the air. Then, the ground trembled. People could not help but be afraid.

The Dawn Army knew in advance that William wanted to destroy the Dawn Army, but most of them did not know what William had used to do so. They did not even know what could cause such a massive explosion.

The Temple Messenger could not help but think of something.

But when he exchanged glances with William, he hastily tapped his arm, signifying that he did not know anything. He and the other subordinates acted blind and deaf. They had come to the Devil's Den to fight some special enemies in the Dark World.

The Temple Messenger decided not to report this. No matter whether the City of Dawn had wood or magical crystals, it ultimately did not have much to do with him...

The Temple of Light did not dare to steal them either.

Even if he obtained informed information on where to obtain magical crystals, he no more than a mere messenger. What benefits would there be in the store for him?

A consolation prize?

The Temple Messenger in a city was more like a city official. He controlled the Temple Messengers and Pastors in the city. He also spread the belief in the Temple of Light.

But he also had to maintain good relations with the city lord. If not, he would be done for.

But this Temple Messenger was very aware. He knew that William was a very powerful lord, and if he wanted to live a good life in this city, he had to put up with William. If he didn't do so, he would die early even if he did everything for the Temple of Light...

[Reward: Misty Mountain Instance Dungeon Crystal]

William looked at the white crystal in his hand. His eyes were full of happiness. "Instance Dungeon crystal? Fantastic. Now, I can bring the crystal to the City of Dawn. The players would not need to run around. They can simply enter Instance Dungeons here. But the most beneficial thing is that I finally have a source of experience."

During the internal testing.

William had discovered a problem...

When players accepted his missions, they could earn experience, but he could not...

Back then, he was not worried.

He knew that in the world of Gods, there were Instance Dungeon crystals...

At first, there were no Instance Dungeons in the Gods' continent.

At least, there was no record of their existence before the internal testing.

But after the game Beta.

In some old battlefields, Devil's Dens, and even war campaigns that had just occurred, Instance Dungeon crystals could be found on-site. The things that the NPCs had experienced were fully integrated into the Instance Dungeon.

After players found the Instance Dungeon crystal, they had to turn over some money, tools, and even experience. Only then could they enter the Instance Dungeon and fight monsters.

In general, there were two kinds of Instance Dungeon crystals, those which could be moved and those which could not.

The Instance Dungeon crystals that could not be moved were huge. They could easily be found in places where wars had taken place.

On the other hand, the Instance Dungeon crystal that William had obtained was one that could be moved. He was the main NPC in this Instance Dungeon. The Instance Dungeon crystal was a Reward for him to keep this memory.

As for the Instance Dungeon crystals that could not be moved, it was because there were too many main NPCs. It was impossible to distribute the crystal to everyone.

In conclusion, it was like a Reward from the heavens...

William suddenly felt as if he had obtained an Instance Dungeon crystal that only belonged to him.

Not only was it an essential source of experience, but it was also good news for the players.

After all, they could enter Instance Dungeons without running around.

What a steal!

Did other NPCs have this ability?

Yes, but very few NPCs initiated military-scale one-on-one fights. Thus, they were often unable to obtain Instance Dungeon crystals.

After all, after Instance Dungeon crystals were given to NPCs, it was more of a Reward for them to recall memories of the battle...

Were other Instance Dungeons so cheap?

Definitely not.

If one wanted to develop a wild Instance Dungeon crystal, the cost would usually be very high.

On the other hand, Instance Dungeon crystals were highly profitable once their benefit towards players was discovered.

However, for entering the misty valley Instance Dungeon, William only planned to collect experience. He planned not to demand gold coins or tools.

Ahem. Of course, it may also have to depend on the situation. What if he did not have enough money?

After all, when he had become a legend in his previous life, he had requested phoenix feathers for top Instance Dungeons. They were no ordinary Instance Dungeon. He could not help people to level up either.

The current Instance Dungeons that he had just earned could be categorized into four kinds.

For example, in the ordinary dungeons, players would not be ambushed by Orc armies. They would not face any dark warlock bosses either, let alone devil bosses.

Their mission would be to kill the few dark creatures in the Devil's Den.

As for the advanced dungeons, they would encounter some small bosses if they were lucky.

Following the advanced level was the epic level.

After that was the legendary level.

If the players encountered a legendary level Instance Dungeon, it would be the same situation which William had just faced. If the players were not middle leveled and did not have an army of thousands, it would just be a march to their deaths. How many attempts would it take for future players to complete the legendary Instance Dungeon?

After all, the final boss was a level 69 epic devil. Even though he could not stand many attacks, it was because of the many bosses from the City of Dawn that he had faced...

When the game Beta would start, the Holy Light Silence Technique scroll, as well as tools and potions to resist darkness attributes would sell well.

Of course, the occupations of the Temple Knights and Pastors would also become very popular.

"Most importantly, as an NPC, I will definitely appear in the Instance Dungeon. The players will also be able to admire my courage close-up." William rubbed his chin. His injuries had fully healed, and gone was his frightening appearance.

The other subordinates did not know what was happening. They did not dare to speak either.

Only Lautner thought that William had secretly drunk the Life Potion, but he did not leave any for him...

"It's a pity. Even though in the past, I have eliminated so many Orc tribes, I did not obtain any Instance Dungeon crystals..." William also understood that those battles were of very low levels.

But this also proved one fact. It was very difficult to obtain Instance Dungeon crystals.

It was just that there were many benefits to be earned if one obtained an Instance Dungeon crystal.

For example, in the Instance Dungeon crystal from the misty valley, many darkness materials, as well as weapons and equipment could be found.

The nameless devil that William had killed by himself dropped a gold quality cursed weapon. The weapon, along with the body of the devil, could be turned into materials. Their thick skin could be used to produce inner armor.

But William was very wealthy. He did not care about this.

He did not even care about Andu Dana, let alone his belongings.

That reminded him. Just what did Andu Dana drop?

William could not help but look at the pitch-black ring in his hand. "I never expected the first space treasure I obtained would come from a devil, a devil like him at that. Come to think of it, he did not even get a chance to use his space treasure. How tragic..."
