There's a skull dungeon attached to my basement

Red Beard took a hearty swig of his liquor, his face instantly flushing red.

He sat on the ground without a care, looking nothing like a legendary dwarf who had just slain a half-step Demon Lord.

In his words, a story slowly took shape.

It was a simple tale: a group of young people who had left their plane, relying on the God's Game to venture through the heavens, came together and walked side by side for a long time, amidst laughter and banter.

But alas, joyous times always have their limits, and their adventures also had an end; they couldn't go on indefinitely.

Some had to shoulder the responsibilities of their sect, others had to bear the trivial matters of their church, leading their people forward and delving into more knowledge; even Red Beard had to inherit his old man's workshop, which was on the verge of collapse, and take on the responsibility of the High Furnace Chosen.

"I miss those days too!"

As he drank the strong liquor in his hand, a look of deep emotion washed over Red Beard's face.

"But we all had to recognize one thing: the time to part ways had inevitably arrived. I won't forget those guys, forget what happened, but ultimately, ultimately, the time to part ways had come!"

"You know, Xiao Yang, my brother, I used to fight dragons, but now when I go home, I don't even dare to drink too much. Damn it, I really married a dwarf wife as fiery as a volcano, but we already have several children together."

As he spoke, Red Beard waved his arms, his tone indignant, but Xiao Yang saw a sweet, happy smile on his face.

The tipsy Red Beard continued to tell his story.

"Everyone is busy, and everyone has come to terms with this. After all, it's like drinking alcohol; drinking is good, but the wine will run out, and being drunk is good, but you'll always wake up. But Sophia never seemed to be able to let it go; she always missed the days when everyone adventured together."

"She thinks everyone's separation is her fault, but it's not, it never was!"

As he said this, Red Beard took another big gulp, then suddenly collapsed to the ground with a thud, motionless.

He had passed out drunk... … … …

Xiao Yang's story came to an abrupt halt, leaving him feeling somewhat strange, his expression becoming pensive. But after glancing at Red Beard lying on the ground and the Justice League group falling silent again.

He felt that Red Beard and the others had experienced quite a bit of turbulence and entanglement, unlike him, who had been grinding dungeons since entering the God's Game.

Shaking his head, he didn't need to do the Strength attribute task; he had completed it in one step. Next, he only needed to work on Defense. He had wanted to ask Red Beard about leveling up, but Red Beard had passed out. But there was no rush; after today, he probably wouldn't be short of money. When the time came, he could just spend some Spirit Coins in the God's Game to ask; it wouldn't be a big deal.

Recently, as expected of the large-scale war opening phase, the demand for various weapons and equipment was really high. Xiao Yang had just put out a bunch of random Skeleton Warrior equipment from his backpack, and immediately many people came to inquire about prices. These guys weren't even buying one piece at a time, but preparing to buy in batches. Xiao Yang's pile of random stuff was all sold out in an instant.

His backpack suddenly had six million more Spirit Coins. Cashing in on the war dividend was really something else.

Xiao Yang had sold all his goods, but when he turned around, Red Beard was still snoring loudly, even changing positions and drooling on his executioner's sword as he snored.

After much effort, Xiao Yang finally bought all the Thick Hide Potions he needed. After today, his Defense would reach a terrifying thirty-one points. At that time, his stats would probably look like this:

【Player: Howling Emperor (Elite Assassin)

Number: 1

Affiliation: Plane No. 33214

Race: Ordinary Human

Level: 9

Health: 300 (200)

Strength: 25 (20)

Remaining Attribute Points: 5

Talent: Dungeon Delver.

Minion: Skeleton Thieving Rogue】

Very OK, these stats. But Spirit Coins still felt insufficient, and Xiao Yang wanted to try a side business. He planned to raise those Jewel Beetles to start a sustainable breeding industry.

If he could really raise these Jewel Beetles, then it would be the beginning of constant abundance. But to achieve this, there were still several problems to overcome.

First, he didn't know how to raise Jewel Beetles. Second, he didn't know where to raise them.

Letting these Jewel Beetles roam around the Skeleton Dungeon was still a bit risky. The main problem was the potential changes in the Skeleton Dungeon. What if he woke up one day and these Jewel Beetles had collectively disappeared or kicked the bucket? He would be heartbroken! He still had to take them out and put them in a safer place.

He needed a Jewel Beetle breeding manual, but where could he get one?

While pondering, Xiao Yang suddenly thought of something. Right! Didn't he just join a group? He might as well ask the big shots inside.

Although some awkward things seemed to have happened among these big shots, that had nothing to do with him. He was a junior, a newbie. Speaking more could liven up the atmosphere. Thinking about it carefully, that was the right thing to do.

Moreover, compared to the unreliable Red Beard, if he wanted to ask some questions about the God's Game, he could just ask in the group. No problem!

Just as Xiao Yang was thinking this, suddenly, the God's Game popped up a notification for Xiao Yang.

【I Am A Little Flower has sent you an item through the Justice League group chat. Do you want to receive it?】

Confused, Xiao Yang opened the panel of the item sent by the big shot in the group.

【Sapling Leaf of the World Tree

Quality: Epic

Restriction: Can only be held by "A True Newbie!"

Effect: When the holder is near death, the World Tree's protection is triggered, increasing health recovery by five.

Introduction: This is a newly fallen sapling leaf of the World Tree, and also a blessing to you. Hold it in your hand, turn the leaf over, and you will see the blessing inscribed on the leaf.】

This thing was too precious; Xiao Yang didn't dare to accept it. He entered the Justice League group chat and opened a private chat with the big shot I Am A Little Flower.

【A True Newbie!: I can't accept this! Big shot! This is too precious!】

【I Am A Little Flower: This is for you!】

【A True Newbie!: But】

【I Am A Little Flower: But this is for you!】

Xiao Yang had thought of many kinds of answers, thought about how he would refuse, but he had never imagined such a simple reply, such a matter-of-course response. Xiao Yang stuttered.

After a period of silence.

【A True Newbie: Then, thank you, big shot!】

【I Am A Little Flower: You're welcome!】

A big smiling face emoji was sent from the other side. Xiao Yang chose to accept this precious World Tree protection leaf. Following the description in the introduction, he took it in his hand, turned it over, and Xiao Yang saw the following words, and a big smiling face.

"Can't die!"
