sovbooks Chapter 3 Sequence IX: Seeker
Chapter 3 Sequence IX: Seeker
The moment I saw this [Sequence IX: Seeker].
Lin Jue couldn't help but clutch his chest in excitement, his eyes welling up with tears.
Thank goodness, finally one usable character has appeared out of all these useless characters!
Those previous candidates, like Sword Saint, Fire Lord, and Enchantress King... were clearly not serious choices.
A serious man like me should rely on his fists to make a name for himself.
With this in mind, Lin Jue placed his hand on the statue without hesitation, his expression solemn.
[Should I choose "Sequence IX: Seeker" as my dungeon class?]
[Once a career is chosen, it cannot be changed. Please consider carefully before making your selection.]
【whether?】
Yes!
Lin Jue made the absolutely right choice.
A beam of light shot out from the statue and quickly entered his body.
A moment later, a semi-transparent emblem appeared on the back of Lin Jue's left hand.
Upon closer inspection, the emblem depicts a tightly clenched fist.
The veins on his fists were bulging, giving him a powerful and domineering presence.
Lin Jue tried placing his other hand on the emblem.
Immediately afterwards, his dungeon attribute panel appeared.
----------
Name: Lin Jue
[Sequence: Seeker]
[Level: LV1 (0/1000)]
【属性：力量20—体质15—敏捷15—魔力0—精神0—感知0】
[Skill: Lock-on]
[Equipment: Lock-on]
[Item: Lock]
----------
[Core Talent: Ultimate Body Tempering (Permanently disables the use of all items, equipment, and skills; grants a thousandfold increase in physical ability efficiency and removes attribute caps; all other attributes are permanently locked to zero)]
----------
Due to the nature of his profession, Lin Jue's skills, equipment, and item panels are all permanently locked.
Even the attributes of magic, spirit, and perception were permanently locked to the lowest level of 0.
In other words, he has basically stayed away from all sorts of fancy and frivolous things in his life.
Of course, Lin Jue didn't care about any of that; all he needed was muscle to keep him company.
After the sequence was selected, the doors that had been tightly closed deep inside the hall slowly opened.
Even from a distance, you can clearly see that inside is a rugged, rocky wilderness.
If I'm not mistaken, this should be the "E-level dungeon - Goblin Highlands" that just spawned.
However, you might encounter battle very quickly once you go in... It would be better to go back and prepare some supplies.
Because of the sequence characteristics of "Seekers of the Way", Lin Jue cannot use all items and equipment.
In other words, it would be meaningless for him to scavenge all sorts of supplies in the dungeon.
However, the fact that Lin Jue cannot use the equipment and items in the dungeon does not mean that he cannot bring his own items in.
With a try-it-and-see attitude, Lin Jue turned and left the professional hall, walked back home along the corridor and began to search quickly.
"Compass, sketchbook, disinfectant, hemostatic bandages, emergency energy bars... Oh, and bring this too."
When Lin Jue saw the weighted vest hanging on the wall, he casually took it down.
This vest was one that Lin Jue used to wear when he went for a run in the mornings. It could carry a total of 60 kilograms of lead weights.
Later, because he felt that the 60 kilograms of weight was too light, Lin Jue hadn't worn it much in the past two years.
However, upon closer inspection, while this thing is quite lightweight to wear, it also provides a certain level of protection.
Moreover, the "Seekers of the Way" are only restricted from using weapons and equipment.
However, this weighted vest is clearly not equipment, but rather a body-training tool.
In addition, it also boasts a 1,000-fold increase in physical fitness efficiency.
Even with such a light load, it should still have a certain degree of training effect.
So, after putting on the weighted vest and filling it with lead weights...
Lin Jue's gaze then turned to a pair of dumbbells lying quietly on the ground beside him.
These dumbbells are the same ones he usually uses at school, each weighing fifty kilograms.
Since a weighted vest can't be considered equipment, then dumbbells obviously can't be either... so bring them along.
Lin Jue picked up two dumbbells and headed deeper into the underground city.
And even while on his journey, he didn't forget to take the time to continue exercising.
From dumbbell curls to dumbbell standing pulls, then to alternating front raises, bent-over lateral raises, and upright upward rotations... they were having a blast doing them.
Just as Lin Jue was immersed in the pleasure of training, he had unknowingly returned to the entrance of "Goblin Highlands".
Although this is only a short training period.
Lin Jue could clearly feel an unprecedented soreness and tightness in his muscles.
Even more astonishingly, his panel changed in such a short time.
[Host attribute change detected, Strength +1]
No way... My strength increased by 1 after only a short period of training?
Immediately, Lin Jue looked at the time display on his watch in surprise.
According to the timer, only ten minutes had passed since he walked from the door to here.
Although the training cycle is only ten minutes, if calculated in terms of a thousand times...
The training duration for this journey will be a full 166 hours... which is quite exaggerated when you think about it.
Lin Jue trains for an average of six hours a day, which is already considered a very large amount of training.
In other words, these 166 hours are almost equivalent to his entire month's worth of practice.
More importantly, the physical training process for normal people is intermittent and cannot be sustained.
Exercising for six hours a day for a month is definitely not as effective as exercising for 166 hours at a time.
So, the enhancement efficiency provided by this "Ultimate Body Tempering" is frighteningly high.
If he trained at this rate for a month or even a year, Lin Jue couldn't imagine what kind of numerical monster he would become.
No... no, there's no such thing as weird numbers. These are clearly the result of my hard work and sweat.
Just as he stepped into the entrance to the underground city, his heart filled with strong expectations for the future.
As soon as I stepped into the forest plain outside the door, the familiar text description popped up again.
Welcome to "Rank E Dungeon: Goblin Highlands"
[The tasks required to conquer this dungeon will now be revealed.]
Main Quest: "Raid the House and Wipe Out the Entire Family"
[Mission Objective: "Defeat the Goblin Queen deep within the highlands." Completing the mission will unlock the dungeon and reward you with a "Random E-Rank Skill" and "Random E-Rank Equipment."]
Side Quest: "Rake to the Ground"
[Mission Objective: Destroy the seven elite goblin watchtowers surrounding the highlands. Upon completion, you will receive 20 Free Attribute Points.]
......
What kind of crazy mission is this? It involves raiding homes, wiping out entire families, and razing everything to the ground.
Anyone who didn't know better would think I was a cute and charming villain who came here to do bad things.
Looking at these two tasks, which seemed far too cruel no matter how you looked at them, Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh slightly.
To be honest, although Lin Jue is very enthusiastic about physical training, he is actually a pacifist at heart.
Unless the other party touches his sore spot like a diamond.
Otherwise, Lin Jue would not casually lay a hand on anyone, let alone commit murder.
By the way, is there a more peaceful way to complete the mission?
For example, feeding the Goblin Queen sleeping pills to commit suicide? That wouldn't be so painful?
As Lin Jue thought this, he walked aimlessly toward the vast plain and highlands ahead.
Whoosh! Suddenly, a simple feathered arrow flew towards his head with a loud whooshing sound!
Was there an ambush? In a moment of panic, Lin Jue instinctively raised his right arm to protect his head.
Then I felt a sharp pain in the front of my right upper arm, and the arrow was deeply embedded in it!
"Gaga! Gaga gaga gaga!"
At the same time, roars, like laughter, came from the grove of trees not far away.
Furthermore, some green figures could be seen flashing by inside, which were clearly the so-called goblins.
However, Lin Jue was stunned when he saw the arrow stuck in his arm.
The surprise in his eyes quickly turned into overwhelming rage, and his whole body was filled with a chilling murderous aura.
"They actually left a scar on my perfect biceps... Damn it! I'll kill you all!"
*Snap!* In a fit of extreme rage, Lin Jue casually snapped the arrow stuck in his arm.
He then grabbed a 50-kilogram dumbbell and rushed toward the grove of trees.
They seemed determined to wipe out the goblins, exterminate them, and leave no one alive.
Yes, as long as you don't touch Lin Jue's sore spot, he is a pacifist most of the time.
Unfortunately, besides his sister, his biggest weakness is... muscles.
