[Leveled Up!]

[Skill Points Gained]

After an unknown period of time has passed. He finally managed to get to Level 20 and gained another Skill Points. He has been grinding these goblins over and over just so that he reaches level 20 and receive the skill points.

Zhen Lun opened the skill menu this time he realizes that there are new options to choose.

[Looting Lvl 2]

Enemy drops items when killed

[Grinding]

Extra 25% Experience points gained for killing enemies

[Smarter System]

System gains ten intelligence points

[Mini-Map]

Unlock Mini-Map menu on any corner of your vision.

Last time, The Looting Lvl 2 and Grinding were already available. but because of his excitement in unlocking Shop Menu, he didn't notice them. Now that, he carefully analyzed the menu he finally saw that there are new choices to choose from. Every skill that he unlocks will open a new path for additional choices.

'To be able to drop items when I kill someone seems interesting but I doubt that it will drop something good.' He has known the system quite well, he should be cautious with the skill he chooses.

As for Grinding, I don't think it's important. To waste his precious skill points for experience points would be a waste.

Mini-Map, Is there any difference from the Map Menu?

The best choice that he can think of right now was to spend them on Smarter System. With a smarter system he can communicate with the system and ask questions that he wanted to know, he just worried that the system would trick him again.

Ding*

[System's Intelligent has reached enough amounts]

[Communication with the system will now be available]

Ding*

[System's Intelligent has reached ten]

[More information will available]

Seeing those menus appeared when he spend his skill points, Zhen Lun felt that it was worth it and was glad that he wasn't tricked.

"Ehem, System can you hear me?"

[Please refrain for asking such useless question as it consumes lots of energy]

Hearing that the system finally speak he was elated but somehow he was also ticked off by the attitude of his System.

"Where am I right now?" Zhen Lun asked. He has many questions that he wanted to know but right now he should ask what he should ask first.

[Dungeon]

'This shitty system is really ticking me off.' The short and simple answer does not satisfy what he wanted to know. 'Is it toying with me or the system is really stupid.'

"Please give specific information about my current location."

[Dungeon, Eighth Floor]

"And where is the dungeon?"

[...]

[...]

[You have no rights to know]

"Are you toying with me?"

[I'm not but The higher-up is toying with you]

Zhen Lun punched the system, his anger has finally reached the limit. Unfortunately, his punch didn't hit the system at all, it only went through and hit nothing but air.

Zhen Lun ended up smashing the wall to vent his anger.

[I suggest you stop that]

'I regret using my skill points on this piece of shit.' Zhen Lun cried.

As the ground cracked he found out that, there is a room behind the wall?.

"What is this place?" Zhen Lun begins to dig a bigger hole.

[You've found a hidden room]

"A hidden room? Is it dangerous?" Zhen Lun has made a hole enough for him to hop inside but he wasn't sure what's inside yet.

[Not dangerous at all]

"You sure?"

[System never lies]

"I hoped it's true." With that said, Zhen Lun went into the hidden room.

He got inside and there was a chest lying on the room. He approaches the chest cautiously because the chest was super suspicious. Who would hide a chest here?

Zhen Lun opened the chest and he found golds lying inside the chest along with few pieces of equipment and other stuff.

[You have found Uncommon Treasure Chest]

[You received 5096 Gold Coins]

[You received Jha'rakal's Necklace]

[You received Unidentified One-handed Sword]

[You received Brawling Shield]

[You received Book of Skill, Double Slash]

[You received Goblin Flute]

'The book!'

Seeing the menus that appeared Zhen Lun only cared about one of them and that is the book. He opened his inventory and get the book out.

[Would you like to consume the book?] Yes/No

Without even blinking, Zhen Lun tapped 'Yes' on the screen.

[Skill Learned 'Double Slash']

[Double Slash] (Level 1)

Active Skill, Allow Player to turned one slash into two slashes

Cost: 100 MP

Cooldown: 30 Seconds

Not delaying a single second, He tried to activate the skill to tried out its effectiveness.

'Double Slash!' Zhen Lun activated mana sword and swing his sword on the wall nearby.

Sha*

'Impressive!' Zhen Lun was satisfied with the result. He indeed activated one slash but in reality, two slashes were formed.

"System, Is there more hidden room on this floor?"

He accidentally found a hidden room with treasure inside while randomly venting his anger on the pitiful wall.

[No there is not]

"Are you sure?" Zhen Lun doesn't trust the system. He randomly smashes the ground and found a hidden room, if there's no more hidden room this means that didn't he just used up all the luck he got?

[Yes, there's only one hidden room from 1st to 10th floors]

[There will be more hidden room on 11th to 20th floors]

"I see."

So there are more but he can't encounter it anymore because he'll leave once he reaches the tenth floor.

"How many floors that exist in this place?"

[One hundred Floors]

"You have said that this is the G-Rank, which is the lowest rank. There exist more dungeons that are higher-rank than this, is what I said true?"

[There is indeed Higher ranked dungeon than this]

"Is that so?"

'This G-Rank is already quite hard, What kind of monster spawns in the highest rank dungeon?' Zhen Lun shuddered as he imagined it.

With his questions being answered, Zhen Lun finally focused on hunting more goblins.

'Right now, I should be able to kill the one on the Ninth Floor with my current strength.'

Arriving on the ninth floor, seeing the berserker goblin again make him all fired up.

This time Zhen Lun made preparation beforehand. He carved earplug from rocks to prevent him from being agitated by the berserker's roar.

Other than that, Zhen Lun bought a full set of Level 20 Equipment, including a sword and two rings. He didn't buy a necklace because the necklace he obtained from the treasure chest is much better than the one sold on the store.

He ended up using over 80000 of golds buying these pieces of equipment.

With everything prepared Zhen Lun started by locating a Berserker Goblin.

'We meet again!' Recalling his helplessness when fighting him. Zhen Lun clenched his fist with excitement. 'Let's see how much I have improved.'

Zhen Lun lures it to a safe location where he won't attract other goblins.

Growl!

As they reached the perfect place for him to begin his fight, he started his attack first.

With Mana Sword replaced by his bronze sword, He can finally cut through the berserker armor and injure it skins deeply. He then beautifully executed Double Slash dealing over 600 damage per attack.

Kuruek!

Goblin Berserk finally used it, just like last time when he fought him. Aura covered his body making his skin tougher than before. But this time, Zhen Lun didn't get agitated by the taunt, The earplug worked its wonders, preventing him from being taunt.

The berserker goblin swings his giant broadsword but Zhen Lun easily dodges the straight forward swing because his mind is able to think rationally.

Shadow Clone!

Fire Palm!

Executing all the skill and continuous to whittle down the berserker health using his normal attack.

With everything under control, Zhen Lun easily killed the berserker goblin without sustaining any injuries at all.

[5000 Experience Points gained]

[500 Gold Coins received]

This time he found Hunter Goblin, instead of Berserker Goblin. The Hunter Goblin wear Leather armor instead of heavy armor.

'This guy should be easy once I get into close range.'

Without bothering to lure it, Zhen Lun dashed forward with his clone, The Goblin Hunter noticed him and prepared his bow to shoot Zhen Lun.

Fire Palm!

Double Slash!

Instantly both of that skill was used, the hunter goblin was killed.

[5000 Experience Points gained]

[500 Gold Coins received]

'This guy is much easier to kill!'

The hunter goblin didn't even manage to use its skills.

Kuruek!

The goblins around the hunter begin to surround him. Zhen Lun easily escaped from being the surrounding goblins. Especially, from the berserker and knight. They are quite slow compared to the hunter goblin.

While he was escaping he will find an opportunity to kill hunter instantly the cooldown of the skills was ready.

Zhen Lun slowly hunts the hunter goblin that spawned. Until he spotted not a single hunter on the ground anymore.

[5000 Experience Points gained]

[500 Gold Coins received]

[5000 Experience Points gained]

[500 Gold Coins received]

'Where did the hunter gone to?' He has been running for a while around the area but there's no hunter goblin at all. Right now, most of the goblins on the ninth floor are Berserker and Knight goblins.

'...It sure won't let me have my way.'

Seeing the berserker and knight around him made him depressed that he needs to deal with them.

This time he needs to slowly lure one or two berserkers to his side. He dare not to lure more than two as he will have to trouble himself being surrounded by a bunch of mad giant sword swinger.

Time slowly passed as he kept hunting Berserker in a careful method. Hunter Goblin also begins to spawns back in the field too.

He wanted to grind until he reached Level-25, where he obtains another skill points. Right now he was at Level-24, he is one level away from getting a skill point but somehow he stayed for this for a long time and still haven't leveled up.

'Maybe I can ask the system.'

"System, How far am I from leveling up?" Zhen Lun asked

[You are 40% progress away from leveling up]
