All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Chapter 392 Using Cards
More than half a month passed quickly.

For almost all players, everything in the dungeon during this period was too stable to be true, making it seem unreal.

Half a month ago, Huang Mengze, a gunner player from Xia country, and Lu Qiang, an assassin player also from Xia country, contacted each other and left the Black Shadow Desert and Daji Town together, heading to the prosperous Daya City a thousand kilometers away to make a living. Their days were exciting and comfortable.

At this time, they all wore the standard attire of the city's elite and chatted and drank coffee leisurely in a cafe.

"Qiangzi, I'm running out of money. Shall we go do another business today?"

Huang Mengze, who had a crew cut and sunglasses but was not wearing a windbreaker, spoke with a smile, looking at the ordinary-looking Lu Qiang across the table.

"Did you go gambling again?"

When Lu Qiang heard this, he replied unhappily. He knew his friend's nature too well and knew that no matter how much money he had, it would never be enough.

"No, no! I just went to experience life! You know, the recent days are too boring. The natives don't catch us anymore, and there are few players who are profitable. I have to find some fun, so naturally I don't have enough money to spend..."

Huang Mengze shook his head and replied, with an inexplicable sense of dejection in his tone.

"Hehe...Are you still not satisfied with a safe life? Do you miss the time when you were chased by a group of people when you first entered the game?"

Lu Qiang felt a little speechless. He was very satisfied with the stable situation of the current copy, but he would not really let down his guard until the copy was over.

"Don't tell me, I really miss it a little bit."

Unexpectedly, Huang Mengze's eyes lit up and his spirits instantly improved after hearing this.

"You don't know, I hid in a tower in the desert at that time, and encountered several players and natives in the tower. They were all very powerful, but one of them was still killed by my invincible operation. If I hadn't been forcibly teleported to another place later, I might have been able to kill them all..."

He recalled it with a little excitement, like an old soldier showing off his glorious battle record, even though the record was not too far away in time.

"Stop, stop... I've heard you say this several times... Have some coffee!"

Lu Qiang suddenly became a little impatient. He had heard this guy bragging many times during this period, and each time he boasted the same things, which was completely unoriginal.

The two chatted so casually, and soon the topic returned to the copy itself. They discussed why the survival pressure in this copy was very great at the beginning, but suddenly became extremely simple and easy at the end.

Huang Mengze was confused about this, but it didn't matter. He responded:

"Who knows what's going on... According to the nature of the extraordinary game, I'm afraid they are holding back something big. The current ease is just to confuse us so that we can let down our guard."

Lu Qiang did not comment on this view, but he felt that there was something else going on, because he once saw a player walking in a friendly manner with the BOSS and indirectly saving him.

"I feel like there's a big boss hidden among the players. This big boss resolved the conflict between the indigenous forces and us, so we can be so relaxed now and don't have to worry about being besieged by the indigenous forces."

Just as he finished speaking, he remembered something and continued:
"Have you heard? Recently, there are rumors in this city that there is a super-powered person living in seclusion nearby. It is said that this guy can easily solve extremely large problems, as if he has resisted a large number of nuclear bomb attacks. He does not seek fame or profit, which makes people unpredictable. I strongly suspect that this person is the real BOSS of the copy. When the copy is about to end, he will jump out and put pressure on us..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Mengze, who was originally in a low mood, suddenly became energetic and speculated according to what he said:

"That means we might see a big fight between the dungeon boss and the big guy later? It would be great if the big guy is killed by the big boss at the end of the dungeon. We can pick up his equipment and become rich instantly..."

The two bored players continued chatting in the coffee shop, not knowing that in the Shadow Desert, the place where they first arrived at this dungeon, the player leader and big boss they mentioned also made a key breakthrough.

"After more than half a month of unremitting efforts, my Wind and Thunder Sky-Stepping Art has finally broken through to Level 3!"

At this moment, Wang Zhifan was quite excited on the top floor of the black tower. If someone happened to be next to him, they would be able to see that there were blue and purple arcs of light flashing on his body, as if he had added some cool special effects to himself.

But in fact, this is not some bluffing illusion, but a sign that he has advanced to a higher level in practicing the Wind and Thunder Treading on the Sky Art. It means that he has mastered the power of wind and thunder. In the future, he will be able to use the Wind and Thunder Treading on the Sky Art with twice the result with half the effort. Not only will his flying speed become faster, but he can also run thousands of miles without resting. It can be said that he has achieved a qualitative improvement.

Incidentally, the training of wind and thunder power will also improve his offensive capabilities, such as adding some wind and thunder damage to his melee attacks.

However, we cannot count on this too much. After all, Wind and Thunder Treading on the Sky is still a light skill, and the bonus effect on attack can only be said to be icing on the cake.

"In the future, the direction of this technique's cultivation is to break through the Nine Heavens Gale. It is quite difficult to cultivate, and it is meaningless to me at the moment, so it is time to change to another technique."

Having just achieved some initial success, Wang Zhifan immediately began to think about the next step.

There are still two kinds of martial arts that he has not practiced yet, namely "Pure Yang True Art" and "Wuji Golden Body Art". "Pure Yang True Art" is an internal skill, which has the function of comprehensive improvement and longevity, while "Wuji Golden Body Art" is an external skill that is more defensive, which can make a person become an iron turtle that annoys the enemy.

The effects of the two techniques can be said to be icing on the cake for him now, otherwise he would not have given them such a low priority, so he was more casual in his choice and did not spend too much time considering it.

"Practice the Pure Yang True Art first. I learned this technique earlier than the Infinite Golden Body Art. Everything should be done in order."

After finishing his thought, Wang Zhifan was ready to retrieve the corresponding martial arts inheritance in his mind to start studying it, but before he entered the state, a figure suddenly appeared in the desert outside the black tower and flew towards the only building in the desert at high speed.

If someone had good eyesight and strong dynamic tracking ability, they would have discovered that it was a young man with glasses and a white coat, with the serious temperament of a researcher. Who else could it be but Chong Wei, whom Wang Zhifan had not seen for more than 20 days?
"It turned out to be him? That's right... It's almost time for me to make the appointment with him... This dungeon has been going by so fast recently. It feels like every day of training has passed by without anything worth noting happening..."

Sighing in his heart, Wang Zhifan's figure soon appeared outside the tower. To be specific, he stood in front of the brass door at the bottom of the black tower, looking at the powerful force approaching at high speed in the sky.

In a few seconds, Chongwei fell from the sky and landed smoothly in front of Wang Zhifan. He said with a smile on his face: "Tower Master, it's been almost a month since we last met! I came here as agreed with you! I hope I didn't get the time wrong!"

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Zhifan in front of him and confirmed that this figure was a real person and not an illusion. He couldn't help but feel happy. After all, this meant that the other party was not going to treat him casually.

"You're on time. Let's talk inside."

Wang Zhifan answered with the same smile, then turned and walked through the brass door, entering with great authority.

According to the general pattern, after entering the black tower, you will come to a passage, and passing through the passage is the challenge content of the first level.

But as the master of the Black Tower, Wang Zhifan can change the settings here at will.

At present, he has turned this place into a gorgeous living room with a sofa and a small dining table. On the table are tea and fruits for guests, which are the Le Tu fruits that Chongwei has eaten before.

As expected, as soon as he came in, Chong Wei noticed the green fruit on the table, picked one up, and said to Wang Zhifan in a joking tone:

"Tower Master, I must be honest with you. I have been researching a project recently. The goal of the project is to cultivate this magical Le Tu fruit. If you don't mind, I would like to take this back as research material."

"Okay, the Happy Land Fruit is a good thing. It is definitely a good thing to let more people enjoy it. You can take all of them away if you need."

Wang Zhifan replied indifferently.

He really didn't care about this, because he had almost as much Le Tu fruit as he wanted on the planet Gaia. It was not a rare thing at all to him. As for others using technological means to cultivate it in large quantities, that was their ability.

But to be honest, he didn't think that other places could perfectly replicate the unparalleled natural environment of Gaia. Even if the Le Tu Fruit was successfully cultivated in this world, it would be difficult to have exactly the same effect. It was almost foreseeable that all aspects would be reduced.

"Since the Tower Master said so, I take it seriously! Please forgive my needs as a researcher. It is too important to have them as a research blueprint!"

As Chongwei spoke, he took two Le Tu fruits from the plate and put them in his pocket, not seeming to be restrained at all.

The greetings between the two basically ended here, and then it was Wang Zhifan's turn to fulfill his promise and tell Chongwei the secrets about the player.

This must be the moment that Chong Wei was expecting. The Lifeline organization he dominated had not taken any action against players recently because of the most crucial influence of Wang Zhifan.

Before the game officially started, Wang Zhifan asked him if he had communicated with other players recently. If he already had some understanding, he could save a lot of time.

"No, I was dealing with the mess in the organization until the day before yesterday to keep the lifeline running normally. Almost every day, some people from Daya City came to ask me about you, but I knew you didn't want to be disturbed, so I didn't reveal any key information to them... These things have occupied most of my energy recently, and I haven't had time to contact those ordinary outsiders."

Chongwei's words showed that he still knew nothing about the player group. Wang Zhifan couldn't help but remain silent for half a second, then took out a silver-gray classical-style card from his personal space and placed it on the table.

The appearance of this card is quite extraordinary, as if it combines high-tech technology with mysterious and ancient art styles. Especially in the eyes of a powerful psychic like Chong Wei, it constantly exudes an indescribable mysterious energy, which attracted his attention as soon as it appeared.

"This thing is called a career card. It contains all the secrets of our group. If you can use it, you will know everything about us very soon without me having to explain anything more."

Wang Zhifan then expressed his idea, which was to let Chongwei try to use this professional card to see if he could become a player. If he could, Chongwei would understand everything, and Wang Zhifan could also verify some of the doubts in his mind.

"Professional card? What is a professional card? How do I use it?"

One can tell at a glance that the card in front of him is extraordinary. Chong Wei said with envy at this moment. He is very interested in things he doesn't understand.

"Profession cards are things that allow people to open up a brand new power system. This profession card contains the employment information of the Arcanist. The Arcanist is a rare magic profession. I don't know much about this profession, but I can be sure that it must have great potential... As for how to use it, just tear up the card. If there is any effect, you will feel it immediately."

While giving a brief narration, Wang Zhifan was also looking forward to the result of this attempt, his eyes fixed on Chong Wei who had already picked up the career card in front of him.

This was almost a perfect testing opportunity.

The native in front of him had a great interest in the player group and had enough motivation to try it without being forced by others.

Wang Zhifan happened to have a profession card, a rare quality magic profession card, which came from the original owner of the Mage's Power Box and the Demon Scroll, who was one of the three foreign players killed by Wang Zhifan in the Black Tower.

He himself does not need the card and does not feel bad about it, knowing the answer to the question no matter what the outcome.

As expected, as a powerful psychic and a researcher who was very curious about new things, Chong Wei tore open the Arcanist profession card in his hand without much hesitation.

This behavior may seem a bit reckless, but it actually reflects a person's self-confidence and rationality.

Chong Wei didn't think that the small card in his hand could do anything to him, an S-level dual-power user. Even if the mysterious outsider in front of him really wanted to do something to him, there was no need to go through the trouble. Instead, it would be more convenient to use hard power.

So, Wang Zhifan soon saw that Zhong Wei in front of him successfully tore open the rare-level occupation card in his hand, causing the card to turn into specks of light and dissipate into the air in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Chongwei's expression also changed. He stared ahead with a puzzled look, as if something strange had appeared in front of him that no one else could see.

Then, without saying anything more, the native suddenly disappeared into the air, as if he had instantly entered another world.
