Chapter 110: Special Area
After he finished speaking, the light from the Sealing Magic Array gradually disappeared, and the blonde, big-chested beauty also vanished from sight.
Only ten people received extra rewards!
No wonder the reward was so good—it directly upgraded a skill from Novice Level to Grandmaster Level!
But the problem was, he truly had hoped a combat skill would advance to Grandmaster Level!
Whether it was Blasting Trap or Trap Chain, if either of those skills had reached Grandmaster Level, his power would have instantly skyrocketed!
Still, he had more opportunities! Among the ten slots, there were still nine left! Others did not know that clearing unknown areas alone would yield such rewards. Before they found out, if he cleared several more unknown areas, he was sure he could get at least one combat skill to Grandmaster Level!
System Notification: You are the first player in the game to upgrade a skill to Grandmaster Level. You have earned the achievement “Peerless Grandmaster”!
System Notification: You have obtained the achievement title “Peerless Grandmaster”!

Spirit +30
Luck Value +3
Honor Points +5
Special Effect: Reduces the proficiency required to upgrade all skills by 10%. Each time a skill is used, there is a chance to gain double the proficiency.
As the System Notification sounded, Chen Mo discovered he had obtained another achievement title.
The Attributes of the title were not too strong, but the Special Effect made Chen Mo’s eyes light up.
This title was truly perfect for training skills!
After glancing at the Peerless Grandmaster title’s Attributes, Chen Mo looked again at the clearing rewards he had already obtained.
His Level increased by 1. His Level had now risen to 17, placing him among the top-tier players in the game. Then 5 Honor Points, 100 Human Race Reputation, and 10 Gold Coins—these rewards were slightly better than those from team clearing.
Finally, there were rewards of a weapon and a Skill Book.
Powerful Stone Crossbow
Description: A Hand Crossbow made from special stone material, allowing the player to attack enemies from a greater distance.
Equipment Quality: Purple
Restrictions: Hunter and Assassin classes. Requires Level 20 or above to equip.
Attributes:
Base Physical Attack Power 99 – 132
Base Magic Attack Power 80 – 111
Strength +35
Agility +30
Additional Effect 1: This Hand Crossbow enhances the force of the Crossbow Bolt, enabling it to shoot further than normal.
Additional Effect 2: When attacking an enemy with this Hand Crossbow, there is a chance to inflict a 3-second Petrification state.
Stone Skin: A universal skill. All players Level 20 or above can learn it. However, if a Shield Knight learns it, the skill effect will be more powerful. After learning, the player can acquire the skill “Stone Skin,” which greatly increases the player’s Defense when used.
A Level 20 weapon and a Level 20 Skill Book. The weapon was decent; by Level 20, he wouldn’t have to worry about his Hand Crossbow weapon.
The Skill Book was pretty good—it was a universal Skill Book. Universal Skill Books could be learned by all classes, had a wide audience, and were quite valuable. Moreover, Stone Skin was a skill that boosted Defense capability. If he sold it, it would surely fetch a good price.
All the rewards were now in his hands. The rewards for solo-killing the Area Elite this time were extremely generous. But looking at his Grandmaster Level Alchemy, Chen Mo sighed again.
If it had been Blood Refining Art, that would have been fine too, but why did it have to be Alchemy? Did it really mean he would have to stay in the city later, making Potions to sell for money?
That didn’t sound too bad either. With his Grandmaster Level Alchemy, as long as he had recipes, what Potion couldn’t he concoct?
However, the main issue at hand was still his Crime Value.
Black Name Crime Value could only be reduced by killing monsters. With a little more online time left, Chen Mo began frantically killing Ore Giants.
Washing off Crime Value by killing higher-level monsters could reduce it even faster!
After an hour, Chen Mo was about to log off. He glanced at his Crime Value and noticed that in just one hour, his Crime Value had dropped by 5 points!
“Not bad, not bad. It looks like I can wash all the Crime Value off by tomorrow.”
The time needed to cleanse his Crime Value was much less than Chen Mo had anticipated.
Chen Mo knew it was thanks to the Rock Corrosion Potion. Without the Rock Corrosion Potion, he would have needed to kill monsters for at least three days, and if it were an average player, it would have taken ten days!
…
In the game, night passed and day arrived.
Many Players came to the Mining Area Second Floor. Seeing that the Mining Area Second Floor had already been cleared, these Players all looked surprised.
Almost all of them had come after seeing the posts by Blood War Seven Days and Bloodbattle Thousand Miles.
Hunting for the Blacklisted Player was one of their goals, but they also knew that with each person only allowed twelve hours online at a time, finding someone wasn’t easy—everyone’s online times easily overlapped or missed each other.
Their main purpose was to explore the newly cleared area. A freshly cleared area had many things yet to be discovered by Players. With a bit of luck, they could make a lot of money in one go.
“Blood War Guild!”
Some Players, not long after arriving at the Mining Area Second Floor, suddenly noticed the Blood War Guild moving with a full thirty members.
Immediately, a few curious Players followed them.
After walking in the mining area for a full hour, the Blood War Guild members stopped. One Player also stopped and then realized he had come to a strange place.
“There really is something odd about the Mining Area Second Floor!” The Player became excited.
He was an Assassin. From a distance, the Blood War members couldn’t spot him. If he timed it right, he might be able to snatch something from the Blood War Guild.
But in the next instant, the Assassin Player stared ahead in horror, completely terrified.
Dead! Nearly thirty members of the Blood War Guild! All dead!
He hadn’t even seen the monster’s Shadow before the Blood War Guild members all died!
…
Chen Mo appeared at a hidden spot in the Mining Area Second Floor.
The white mist in the Mining Area Second Floor was gone. Yesterday, he had deliberately found this hidden place.
He summoned Big Fatty and started killing monsters to wash off his Crime Value.
After quietly killing Ore Giants for two hours, Big Fatty’s Health Points were running low. Chen Mo sent it back to the Pet slot to rest and recover. At that moment, a team of Players appeared in the distance. Spotting Chen Mo, they immediately changed formation and moved to surround him.
The team had no Assassin, so Chen Mo was not afraid at all.
“Do you think you can kill me?” Chen Mo waited until the six had closed in before speaking leisurely.
“There are six of us and only one of you. No matter how strong you are, you can’t beat all of us!” One Warrior Player was startled, then snorted coldly.
“Are you really sure?” Chen Mo pointed at the Damage the Ore Giant had taken.
“Such high Damage!” Others could see the damage numbers on the monster very clearly. All six looked closely and were amazed.
“Killing you all would be as easy as lifting a finger. But I don’t want to increase my Crime Value. It’s best if we don’t interfere with each other.”
Chen Mo spoke without any politeness. If he showed weakness now, these people would only think they still had a chance.
The lead Warrior’s expression shifted repeatedly. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go!”
Scaring off enemies without a fight made Chen Mo breathe a sigh of relief. He also decided to go deeper into the Mining Area Second Floor to kill monsters. If he encountered another team, it might not be so easy to talk them down.
Chen Mo really didn’t want to keep killing people while in Black Name Status. Who knew how long it would take to wash off the Crime Value then?
On the way, Chen Mo went to Bevicent and exchanged for some Rock Corrosion Potions. Without these Potions, his monster-killing speed would drop drastically. There was no way he could wash off all his Crime Value today otherwise.
After exchanging for the Potions, Chen Mo continued killing his way deeper into the area.
The deeper he went, the more Ore Giant monsters appeared. Even a Guild would find it hard to advance here.
Several hours later, Chen Mo reached a small, bright blue lake.
The surrounding mining area had all turned into lava-like stone, yet the water in the bright blue lake did not seep into the ground.
“Is this the mysterious area within the Mining Area Second Floor?” Chen Mo felt a bit puzzled.
He had been ambushed by a water sphere monster before and knew there was a special place in the Mining Area Second Floor. With so much water here, this should be where that little sphere monster came from.
But not a single monster was in sight by the bright blue lake, which struck Chen Mo as very strange.
Did he have to go inside for the monsters to appear?
As Chen Mo thought this, he wanted to approach the bright blue lake to take a look.
“Young man, don’t go in, or you’ll die!”
But at that moment, Bevicent’s voice suddenly spoke from behind Chen Mo.
“Why? What’s inside?” Chen Mo stopped and looked at Bevicent.
“I originally planned to tell you when you reached Level 18, but since you’ve already found this place, I’ll tell you a bit earlier.” Bevicent was unexpectedly accommodating.
