As the giant beast landed, dust and debris were blown away, revealing only twenty watermelons and a cluster of gleaming time bombs.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!"
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!!!"
Combined, they dealt a total of 700,000 damage.
Even though the Beast God's phantom was merely a soul remnant, it now grew dim and lusterless, even entering a critically wounded state.
[Critical Wound: Target falls into a critically wounded state for 10 seconds. During this time, all damage output is doubled.]
A perfect opportunity!
You've shown a weakness here!
"Fire at will!"
Chu Fu immediately activated [Poison Vein Awakening], pushing her attack power to a new level.
Poison Technique, Slow Technique, and Plague Spread shrouded the Beast God's phantom.
She didn't use the Scatter Poison Technique—she had no toxin materials left, only quicklime powder, which would likely be ineffective against the Beast God's phantom.
Shen Chi and Xie Lin, the two main damage dealers, began unleashing a furious barrage.
Shen Chi's mecha switched its weapon to a Gatling gun, rattling shots at the gem atop the crocodile-shaped Beast God's phantom.
Under the relentless bombardment, Shen Chi's mana drained completely in less than five seconds.
Seizing the opening, Xie Lin smoothly took his place.
"Piercing Rainbow Sword Strike!" He landed a heavy blow directly on that green gem.
"Crack!"
A fissure appeared on the green gem.
With this, the Beast God's phantom grew even more translucent. Just as it tried to fight back, Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao's taunt landed, successfully drawing the Beast God's attention.
No one sustained any damage.
The green gem shattered.
The phantom completely dissipated.
Then, a roar echoed.
"How dare you destroy one of my avatars! I will remember you!"
The Beast God's phantom howled in rage, and a Beast God's Gaze debuff appeared above everyone's head.
[You cleared the dungeon: Beast God's Temple (Nightmare Mode).]
[Dungeon clear time: 47 minutes, 21 seconds.]
[You received the first-clear reward: All stats +5, one Silver Chest.]
[A server-wide announcement is about to be released. Hide ID?]
"No!"
[Server Announcement: Players "Who Wants to Be a Vegetable," "Racing in a Wheelchair," "Who Are You Calling Blind," "Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao," and "Suture Saint" cleared the dungeon Beast God's Temple (Nightmare), achieving the server-wide first clear! Rewards have been distributed.] x3.
Finally finished!
A burst of light erupted around the boss, and among it, a silver glow enveloping a green shimmering item stood out conspicuously.
A Silver-grade piece of equipment had dropped!
Although [Nightmare Mode] Beast God's Temple did drop Silver-grade equipment, it was still a matter of probability.
It wasn't guaranteed every time!
Getting one on the first kill was quite a pleasant surprise.
After all, in the newbie village, only two bosses could drop Silver-grade equipment; the rest came from chests, so every extra piece was a massive improvement.
[Aura of High Soul Crystal Headband (Silver Grade): Attack Power +30, Spirit +10, MP Recovery Effect +15%.]
Another special piece had dropped!
The cloak from last time could be used by all classes, so everyone could bid on it.
But this piece's stats increased Spirit, making it usable only by Chu Fu and Suture Saint.
Chu Fu had the highest contribution, so she naturally had priority purchase rights.
If others wanted to compete in the auction, they would need to pay an additional 20% premium for bidding, and then the normal auction process would follow.
Chu Fu unhesitatingly stepped up.
"I bid 1 gold coin!"
"I pass!" Suture Saint agreed readily.
Even though they now knew a game incursion might be coming, making money useless,
Suture Saint simply had no money!
"Now, this dungeon run is officially over. Time to open the chest!"
Chu Fu took out the Silver Chest and opened it.
This time, she got a recipe item.
[Glowing Scale Powder (Silver Grade Recipe): Use materials to craft a poison powder. Upon release, the powder bursts with Light and Fire attribute energy.
Note 1: Can be thrown to create a blinding flash of light and white smoke to confuse enemies.
Note 2: Can be used to coat bladed weapons, adding Light and Fire attribute damage.]
Wasn't this just an evolved version of quicklime powder?
Plus, it could be used to coat weapons with extra effects.
To put it simply, if Chu Fu coated Xie Lin's heavy sword with it, the damage against soul-type bosses like the Beast God's phantom would definitely be much higher.
She would save it and make it back home.
Then, Chu Fu opened her own stats panel.
Currently, the four newbie village bosses had given Chu Fu a total of 10 all-stats points.
Two dungeon first clears added 18 all-stats points.
The achievement for killing 100,000 monsters added 3 all-stats points.
And at level 10, she had 50 free stat points, which she unhesitatingly put all into Spirit.

Truly magnificent stats.
After everyone exited the dungeon, Chu Fu checked the system notifications.
The system prompts had been too noisy while clearing the dungeon, so she had muted them.
Now that she checked, she noticed the notifications had changed.
[System Prompt: Your gaming pod is in high-speed motion while remaining relatively stationary.]
This description...
She was on a vehicle?
And the game system was this responsive?
Recalling from the original story that once the male lead had higher permissions, he could even converse with the [Primordial Gate] game system,
Since she herself had caught the attention of the Primordial Gate,
Chu Fu decided to just ask directly.
"System, am I on a vehicle right now? Are there people around me?"
[System Prompt: Your gaming pod is on a means of transportation, with 5 humans nearby.]
Chu Fu frowned immediately.
Five people nearby was very bad news.
She pulled out that experience card and checked the exchange values listed on it.
[S-grade talent Vegetable: Exchange for 20 days' worth of nutrient solution.]
[1 arbitrary attribute point: 1 day's worth of nutrient solution.]
[Poison Technique: 10 days' worth of nutrient solution.]
[Slow Technique: 15 days' worth of nutrient solution.]
[Plague Spread: 50 days' worth of nutrient solution.]
[Scatter Poison Technique: 15 days' worth of nutrient solution.]
[Poison Vein Awakening: 30 days' worth of nutrient solution.]
[Variant Dandelion Seeds (Black Iron): 100 space teleport stones.]
[Variant Cleaver Vine Seeds (Black Iron): 150 space teleport stones.]
[Variant Watermelon Bomb Seeds (Bronze): 200 space teleport stones.]
[Green Poison Mushroom Skirt (Silver-tier): 1500 space teleport stones.]
She had no space teleport stones.
There was no need to look at the rest.
What choice did she have?
