"This... am I blind?"

Su Nian blinked and, after confirming that his eyes were indeed open, looked around.

Pitch black!

The kind where you can't see your hand in front of your face!

And eerily silent!

"What's going on?

Could it be some kind of bug...

Have I been teleported into a wall?"

Muttering to himself, Su Nian quickly calmed down!

Instinctively, he tried to open the map.

But the next second, he realized...

"No response? Can't open it???"

Su Nian looked bewildered.

Isn't it only in certain designated dungeons that you can't use the map?

Wait a minute...

Su Nian crouched down and touched the ground with his hand!

"This is... Stone bricks?"

He knocked on it.

Though it had some thickness.

But underneath, it was hollow?

Another layer underground?

Thinking of this, he quickly moved his hand along the ground in one direction.

Soon, he touched a wall!

He knocked on it again.

This time it was solid?

Even though it was clear he was inside a building and temporarily not in danger.

But...

What kind of bizarre building is this?

Not a ray of sunlight!

A dungeon?

Is there such a thing in the Beginner Village?

Baffled, Su Nian could only explore along the wall in one direction.

Until...

"Click!"

He seemed to have touched some kind of switch!

In an instant, blinding lights lit up in sequence on the walls!

Looking closely.

He found himself in a rectangular passageway made entirely of solid stone...

And on the walls of the passage.

Every few meters, there was a dragon head!

The dragon's mouth was open, holding a Lighting Pearl inside.

The sudden brightness made Su Nian's eyes a bit uncomfortable, instinctively squinting slightly.

But despite that.

He immediately noticed a large Red Exclamation Mark at the end of the passage...

Su Nian frowned and squinted as he walked over.

But when he got close to the Red Exclamation Mark and saw the words that appeared out of thin air, his pupils contracted!

[Welcome to the Land of Treasure!]

"This is really it?"

Su Nian was in disbelief!

This luck is just...

He remembered, in his past life, players generally only discovered this Hidden Dungeon at level twenty, when an Emperor of Luck player stumbled upon it in the Beginner Village!

According to an insider.

The Land of Treasure, as the name suggests!

Each level here contains treasures!

The deeper the level, the richer and more extraordinary the treasures!

But to obtain the treasures...

Players must clear the level!

For this reason, a club in his past life spared no expense!

They gathered over a hundred players, each with at least one piece of Purple Gear, and levels between seven and nine, just to barely reach the sixth underground level!

But just the treasures from the sixth underground level alone brought the guild a piece of Red Gear and several top-tier items!

Other rewards were countless!

As for how many levels there are in the Land of Treasure?

No one knows the answer!

Thinking of this, Su Nian felt a bit excited!

"If what that insider said is true, then those players in the past life who were rushing to the main city had no idea how many opportunities they missed!"

If the information is accurate.

He might need to stay here for a while in the early stages!

But whether the information is true or not.

He had to verify it himself!

Su Nian raised his hand and reached for the switch in front of him.

With a slight force!

"Clack clack clack!"

The stone door in front of him slowly opened.

Revealing a series of steps below!

[Hidden Dungeon Tip: Only by uniting can you obtain endless treasures!]

Su Nian ignored the words in front of him.

He arrived at the first underground level.

The first thing that caught his eye was a few... skeleton soldiers in the middle of the passage?

And finally, the treasure chest at the end of the passage!

Very straightforward.

"There really is treasure!"

Su Nian raised an eyebrow and began to check the information on these skeleton soldiers.

[Skeleton Soldier: LV5.]

[Grade: Elite.]

[Health: 500.]

[Attack: 35.]

[Skill: Thrust.]

Su Nian couldn't be bothered to waste words on such weaklings!

Summoning his Priest Staff, he launched a basic attack at the skeleton soldiers' position!

[-36.]

[Talent not triggered, Execute Probability +0.01%.]

The skeleton soldiers were startled, their hollow eye sockets lighting up with a red glow, charging quickly at Su Nian!

"Pretty fast."

Su Nian's agile movements reappeared!

With his speed of taking down a skeleton soldier without injury every few seconds... it took less than two minutes.

The first underground level was cleared smoothly!

"Tsk... facing these early-stage, instinct-driven mobs, my skills are a bit of an overkill!" Su Nian stretched.

He had just finished warming up.

And they were already done?

Too weak!

Su Nian approached the treasure chest at the end of the passage.

As the chest slowly opened, a line of clearance prompts appeared in his eyes!

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

[Congratulations on successfully clearing the Land of Treasure!]

[First underground level rewards: Gold Coins ×50, War Helmet (Purple) ×1, D-Rank Skill ×2!]

Su Nian: "???"

Wow, clearing the first level and getting Purple Gear?

I can only say...

As expected of the Land of Treasure!

The drop rate is truly high!

Quick, let's see how the stats are!

[War Helmet (Purple)]

[Level: LV5.]

[Effect 1: Restores 6% of current health per second.]

[Effect 2: Evasion Rate +3%.]

[Effect 3: Attack +35.]

"Damn, current health restoration?"

If I have a million health in the future, wouldn't that mean restoring over ten thousand per second?

After the excitement, Su Nian decisively equipped it.

Then, he looked at the two skills he obtained!

[Arrow Rain: Archer's normal attack has a 5% chance to trigger Arrow Rain, causing widespread damage! (D-Rank Skill)]

[Charging: A charged punch deals an additional 20% damage to the target! (D-Rank Skill)]

"One Archer skill, one Fighter skill." Su Nian's mouth twitched.

Neither of them suited him?

These two should be put up for sale in the marketplace later.

"Oh right!"

Su Nian suddenly remembered.

He still had an unused Random Skill Book!

This thing...

Has a chance to unlock an S-Rank Skill!

How overpowered are S-Rank Skills?

Don't ask!

He hadn't seen one in his past life either!

"I'm not asking for a high-level skill, just give me something useful... Jesus, please bless me!"

Saying this, Su Nian clasped his hands together.

Jesus: ???

Since when do you clasp your hands to pray to Jesus?
