Cheat Awakening-Chapter 700 - . Unexpected Boost

Myne stood in the lobby and took a long moment to relax. A lingering sense of fear still resided in his heart.

When the phantom of the evil god had appeared just now, giving him a thumbs up for kicking its statue, Myne felt his brain flood with blood, a suffocating darkness enveloping him, and his spirit plummeting into a lightless abyss. It felt as though he would explode at any second.

Fortunately, he was forced to quit in the end.

With his 32 points of mental power, he only had 4.5 seconds of wakefulness in the face of such an opponent.

This was merely a phantom cast across the universal border; who knew how powerful the god himself truly was? But one thing was certain: to deal with an ant-like Myne, the deity likely wouldn't even need to lift a finger. Simply seeing him would probably be enough for Myne to die a thousand times over.

"What kind of plot development is this? Which bastard added something this terrifying to a trial dungeon, something so ridiculously powerful it literally broke the entire game! Not only does the evil god forcefully break into the dungeon, but it also possesses such terrifying power. Also, that motherf*cker can run here just because I insult its statue? What kind of logic is that?"

Now, he suddenly felt that kicking the opponent's goat-headed shrine like a ball hadn't been a wise decision.

"Wait!" Myne suddenly realised something.

"Where was his reward for clearing the level? And what about the reward for becoming the greatest enemy of an evil god? Where were they all?"

Myne looked around the empty lobby but found no change or any item that suggested a reward.

Perhaps the system was paying special attention to the troublemaker who had messed up the entire trial dungeon server. As if hearing his question, a notification appeared before him.

[ Due to the abnormality of the instance, player 666666 ( Glitcher ) will be compensated. ]

[ Receive triple experience and triple game coins for the perfect clearance of this normal-level trial dungeon... Due to the special situation this time, the trial difficulty has increased to Nightmare Level. ]

[ Level Up! ]

[ Level Up! ]

[ Level Up! ]

...

[ Your level has been upgraded to level 5, and you have a chance to draw a reward. ]

Myne's level had increased by five levels in a row, and he received 3,000 game coins, and a wooden box also appeared in the middle of his lobby, which was a big surprise. After thinking for a moment, he understood that it was probably because the dungeon difficulty had been raised to nightmare level, so the reward was also based on this, a huge amount for a newbie like him.

At the same time, he also gained 25 attribute points from the upgrades. Each level granted him 5 attribute points, which, to tell the truth, was quite a lot considering that an adult human's attributes were around 10.

"Nightmare-level dungeon? It must have changed because of that uninvited visitor. That guy had almost killed me with just a wisp of his aura alone. It's only normal for the system to label this a 'nightmare.' But this dungeon difficulty didn't seem set at a normal level."

"Whether it was escaping or hiding, it was hell-level difficulty. After all, I was facing nearly 50 killers. They had a clear division of labour, and their average combat power was higher than that of ordinary people. If I were just a normal guy playing for the first time with the basic attributes of a normal adult, there's no way I could overpower those killers. Surviving under their hands for a day would be pure fantasy."

But what Myne didn't know was that his own choices had increased the difficulty several times over without his realising it. He had been overthinking everything from the beginning. As a dungeon specifically set up for beginners to learn, although those killers looked like powerful hunters who had everything under control, that wasn't actually the case.

As long as he fled into the forest and hid properly, there was a 90% chance he could easily survive for a day. Only two people were patrolling the jungle, and obviously, they weren't enough to guard the entire area, so he just had to evade them while fleeing from the jungle. Once he got away from the town, he could safely clear the dungeon. So, it wasn't as difficult as he was thinking.

Of course, without the information given by { ? } and his own high attributes and skills, Myne would never have accomplished this. If he had made a mistake in the church and been overwhelmed by those killers, he would have returned to the lobby long ago.

"After playing this dungeon, it's clear that physical strength is particularly important. It's not only the main factor in dungeon exploration and combat but also related to survival. Of course, that's only until I can get some nice magic skills. As a mage, it's truly shameful that I have to use an axe and knife to deal with people."

Thinking thus, Myne did not hesitate much and directly added 10 points to his physical strength.

The remaining 15 points were allocated with 5 points each to strength, agility, and mana. It wasn't that he looked down on Spirit or didn't add any points to it, despite its crucial role in protecting him from negative influences and pollution from the abyss. However, even if all 25 points were invested, it would only allow him to withstand the phantom of that evil god for at most one more second. For normal monsters, his current spirit was sufficient and didn't require immediate improvement, so he decided to postpone it.

However, after allocating the points, as Myne stared at the status window, his eyes suddenly widened. He saw that his spirit had unexpectedly increased by 75 points, reaching 107. Not only that but because spirit and mana were connected at a fundamental level, his mana also received a significant boost.

"??? How could this happen?"

Myne was surprised beyond words.

"I didn't do anything. Why did my spirit increase so much, and it boosted my mana as well?"

Just as Myne was scratching his head in confusion, a thought suddenly occurred to him, and he opened his Item Bar.

There were only five slots in it, corresponding to his level. However, considering that he could only store items approved by the dungeon or rewards, they were more than enough for him at the time being.

In one slot was the [ Hundred-Man Killer Knife ] obtained from the dungeon, and in the other slot was an eyeball covered with various runes.

[ Name: Eye of the Evil God

Type: ???

Quality: ???

Function ( Passive ): When you allocate points to other attributes, your Spirit will automatically increase by three times the same number of points.

Remarks: You have deprived the evil god of part of its power through improper means. This terrifying existence swears that it will find you at any cost and grind you to ashes! ]

Myne: "."

No wonder the other party had suddenly become extremely angry at that time. He had been confused, wondering why the other party was so enraged that it was willing to go to any length to kill him. Wasn't it just kicking the head of its statue like a ball? It wasn't as if it were its own head. Why was a dignified evil god so agitated? For such a small matter, it was going to cross the universal border to kill him. It was truly shameless, leaving no room for juniors to survive.

"Now, the entire story became clear. So, this was the reason."

However, Myne also understood how powerful this item was. He would have three times more attribute points than other players out of thin air. Even if it only acted on spirit, which was currently useless except for protection against pollution, it was completely enough. After all, the extra bonus it provided to his Mana was more than enough for him to kill that evil god's balls, let alone his head. For a mage, Mana is everything. This is a universal fact.

Thinking about it this way, the price of being targeted by a terrifying existence could be tolerated.

Muttering to himself, Myne simply stopped thinking about it and walked to the middle of the room.

After the upgrade, the lobby space also changed. Not only was there dim light, but there was also an extra box in the middle with a number on it: 1.

This meant that he could draw a reward once.

[ Confirm the number of draws you want to consume. ]

"Bang."

The box rumbled and shook, and after a few seconds, it banged open.

Inside was a ball of yellow light. After Myne touched it, it exploded and merged into his body, and its information appeared before him.

[ Name: Thunder Ball

Type: Consumable skill ( Can be used 3 times )

Function: Can release a ball of lightning within a range of five meters in front. It will automatically explode after touching a physical object or reaching a distance of five meters. The explosion range is ten meters.

Consumption: 30 Mana

Remarks: If you don't run fast enough, please use it with caution. This thing is no one's friend, and it doesn't mind digging a grave for its caster and enemies. ]
