Chapter 112: A spontaneous trip to the underworld (6k)
Thinking of this, Lu Wenwu couldn't contain his restless heart and immediately tried it.
There was no teaching, but he learned it by himself.
It’s as natural as drinking water when you’re thirsty and eating when you’re hungry.
A strange power flows throughout the body.
Suddenly, the casual home clothes on Lu Wenwu's body, which were transformed from the Scarlet Abyss and the Devil's Wrath, flashed slightly.
The next moment, a sense of rock-solid majesty suddenly emerged from his body.
Lu Wenwu could clearly feel that the Wrath of the Demon King and the Scarlet Abyss had merged into his body.
At the same time, the transmogrification effects that come with the equipment have not disappeared.
He was still wearing physical clothing.
This strange phenomenon made Lu Wenwu curious.
But unfortunately, he is not a scientist and does not care about the reasons behind all this.
As long as you are strong.
What excited Lu Wenwu was that the nesting dolls he had previously envisioned actually worked.
Just after the Scarlet Abyss merged into his body, the talent: Real Men Do Not Die Naked was activated.
The power of the Scarlet Abyss merged perfectly with Lu Wenwu's body, inheriting everything intactly, even surpassing it.
At least during this process, his [Physical] attribute showed a slight increase, and the duration of the Abyss Descent ability was also relatively extended.
Lu Wenwu took the opportunity to add the remaining 160 free attribute points.
The [Body] attribute directly broke through the 5,000 mark!
On the personal panel, the Wrath of the Demon King and the Crimson Abyss are still there and are still in the equipped state.
As long as Lu Wenwu is willing, he can perform the reverse operation and "spit out" these two pieces of equipment, restoring them to their original appearance.
Lu Wenwu got up excitedly and went directly to the underground testing area.
He didn't use any skills, he just punched hard at the test target in front of him.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound was heard.
A deep fist mark has appeared on the special target used for testing.
This is a test target specially made for A-level players!
Lu Wenwu casually took out the Sun Hammer that he had obtained from the gold coins.
Holding it in hand, the corresponding equipment enhancement did not appear.
This should be some kind of limitation.
Refining equipment into the body is also considered to be receiving equipment enhancement.
Even if you get a few more pieces of equipment, the amplification cannot be stacked.
But Lu Wenwu did not get discouraged and remained in high spirits.
He picked up the black hammer that looked like a bamboo shoot and smashed it on his leg with all his strength.
"Bang!"
Another violent muffled sound was heard, as if it hit some special resistant metal.
Lu Wenwu's left leg was completely intact!
Turtle
Lu Wenwu's physical defense has definitely reached the [Immortal] level, which is comparable to normal legendary equipment.
And this is a conservative estimate.
In addition, after absorbing and refining the Demon King's wrath, Lu Wenwu's fist attack power also exceeded that of ordinary legendary weapons, reaching the [Nightmare] level.
Now, since the Scarlet Abyss and the Wrath of the Demon King have become part of his body, Lu Wenwu can directly recover from his injuries by absorbing blood and the abyss demonic energy, and his blood recovery ability has been further improved.
The demonic fire that originally required equipment transformation also became a part of his own ability, and he gained the ability to directly bring it into being.
If absorbing two pieces of equipment is so awesome, then if you absorb a few more, wouldn’t you be invincible?
Thinking of this, Lu Wenwu immediately activated his innate ability of forging a divine body again, preparing to incorporate the Inspiring Battle Pattern and the Wings of the Sky into his body.
The Inspiring Battle Pattern that can bring all-round amplification, as well as the Sky Wings that are essential for air combat, will definitely not disappoint you after absorbing and refining them!
However, just as he was about to have a big meal, he discovered.
After barely absorbing and refining the Inspiring Battle Mark, his body seemed to
I’m full!
So far, accommodating two legendary items and one epic item has reached a certain limit.
Unless you improve your [physical] attributes again and reach a certain level.
Or you can wait for the body to "digest" and completely swallow these three pieces of equipment and refine them completely.
Otherwise, before completing one of the conditions, Lu Wenwu can only wear these three pieces of equipment.
It seems that he can't be invincible immediately.
Lu Wenwu gave up the idea of exchanging all the resources he had for armor, battle patterns, and gloves and absorbing them into his body.
This god-like body is like a swallower of heaven and earth, the nemesis of evil.
Although theoretically it can be improved infinitely and can cultivate the Sword God of Shilipo.
But we have to take a long-term approach and it is impossible to see a particularly obvious improvement immediately.
With no other choice, Lu Wenwu had to give up.
He took out the reward given by the system during the previous settlement - a skill book.
[Name: Glimpses]
【Quality: Unique Skill】
[Type: Skill]
[Introduction: This most basic version of Fleeting Lights is a precursor to the renowned Fleeting Lights Immortal Technique. Alternatively, this is a practical tutorial for beginners.]
[Note 1: The subsequent advancement path of Fleeting Light is: Fleeting Light (Unique Skill) - Fleeting Light (Asking the Way) - Fleeting Light Great Immortal Technique]
[Note 2: Fleeting Light is a special state of blessing for the body. It is not a physical skill and cannot be integrated with physical skills.]
"A fleeting glimpse."
Lu Wenwu muttered this name that sounded very chivalrous and chose to use the skill book.
The golden pages turned into streams of light and quickly merged into the depths of his mind.
He also mastered the usage of this special blessing state and some subsequent introductions.
As mentioned above, the first two versions of Fleeting Light are actually just degraded versions of the Fleeting Light Great Immortal Technique, which are used to give practitioners whose strength does not meet the standards an early experience and to lay the foundation.
The basic version can be used in conjunction with other physical skills to provide faster, stronger, stealthier, and more varied movement states.
Only the true Fleeting Light Immortal Art is a complete and top-notch body movement technique, which cannot be performed at the same time as other body movement skills.
It is said that when it is cultivated to perfection, it can be compared with the somersault cloud of the legendary Monkey King and the top magical power of Taoism - shrinking the earth into an inch. It is an extremely powerful magic.
Lu Wenwu didn't know what the great immortal technique meant.
But looking at the name and order, we can tell that this is undoubtedly more powerful than the [Ask] level skills.
This time the post-war cleanup was done at a rapid pace.
It originally took a lot of time to unpack and sort out the items.
As a result, Lu Wenwu saved a lot of time because of a sudden mysterious lucky bag fusion function.
A special physique, the body of a god, is completely worth the price of admission.
No matter how powerful the external equipment is, it is still external.
But if you can make the equipment a part of your body, then that is the power you possess.
This ability to transform the external into the internal is absolutely worth it.
"That's awesome! Next, it's time to start practicing!"
Lu Wenwu looked at the test target that had been deformed by his hammering, and planned to wait for Liu Ming to come at noon to talk to him and ask him to help him replace it with a target that could withstand the strength of an S+ player.
Strong, tough and durable!
Just as Lu Wenwu was about to tear open a twenty-fold acceleration card to start practicing, suddenly, a magnificent voice sounded in his ears.
[World dungeon is open, please be prepared]
【Participant draw will begin soon】
What the hell?
World copy?
It seems that I am quite lucky. I can catch up with a server-wide event that may not start until some time.
The last time a world copy appeared was five years ago.
Lu Wenwu stopped what he was doing and quickly recalled the information about the world copy in his mind.
As the name suggests, the world copy is, in theory, a copy in which players from all countries on the entire blue planet participate together.
It's just in theory.
If all players were to participate together, how big a dungeon world would be needed to accommodate them?
In this way, there is a random draw before the world copy is opened.
Regardless of strength, anyone can be selected.
After a long period of summary by the Player Management Bureau, one of the rules that can be barely confirmed at present is that the more talented the player is, the more likely he is to be selected.
Of course, those who are selected are not necessarily talented, and those who are not selected are not necessarily incompetent.
Sometimes it happens that a bunch of vegetables are forced in.
Scholars from the Player Management Bureau believe that every world copy may be a screening and cultivation of the system.
But it is not known what exactly is being screened and what it is being cultivated for.
The only thing that is certain is that compared to normal copies, world copies generally do not have the risk of death from the copy itself.
Moreover, whether players cooperate or fight alone, the benefits they gain in world copies are generally much higher than those in normal copies.
Overall, it’s definitely a good thing for motivated players to get involved.
For Lu Wenwu, this was undoubtedly a pillow delivered to him when he was sleepy.
Although there is no exaggerated level increase after passing the world copy, there is a basic default increase of one level.
As long as he reaches this level, Lu Wenwu can become a B+ level player.
The next time you match a normal dungeon, you can start the advanced trial in advance as before and reach level A in one go!
It’s exciting just thinking about it!
Lu Wenwu suddenly became impatient.
Halo of the time traveler, it’s time for you to take action!
[You have been selected and will enter the dungeon world in thirty seconds]
[Countdown begins]
Wuhu!
Lu Wenwu smiled and looked at the task introduction on the system panel.
[Dungeon: Journey to the Underworld]
[Introduction: The traditional Chinese festival, the Ghost Festival, is here. Are you ready for a spontaneous journey to the underworld?]
[Number of players: not displayed]

Can’t Maomao go in with us?
Doesn't that mean the fire of the evil fight cannot be used?
It's a bit troublesome to make egg pancakes
Lu Wenwu suddenly felt that things were becoming difficult, so he quickly took out a lot of raw materials from Lingtian Mountain and gave Maomao the authority to enter and exit on his own.
After such a long time, he got used to cooking with the fire of the Huo Dou.
Now that his usual heat source was suddenly missing, Lu Wenwu became very anxious.
Perhaps this is why it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Cooking with the fire of Huo Dou is a treatment only afforded to the God of Fire!

[Starting transmission]
【Drip! 】
[Abnormal player's physical data detected, re-detecting and scanning, please wait]
Looking at the spinning logo on the system panel in front of him, Lu Wenwu was suddenly a little confused.
What's going on?
Am I not just a little bit stronger than a normal B-level player? Why is my body data abnormal?
Wait! ?
Body!
Lu Wenwu suddenly realized the problem.
The location of this copy is the underworld.
You have to go to the underworld in the state of soul!
And he himself practiced a special technique called "The Art of Refining the Body by Using Virtue to Conquer People"!
One's soul and body are a whole and cannot be separated or directly leave the body like a normal player.
So I'm stuck in a bug now, and the system is stuck?
Lu Wenwu suddenly became a little uneasy.
Don’t let your spot be blocked!
If you miss such an opportunity to make a fortune, you will be in tears.
【Test completed】
[Confirm player identity information——ID: Invincible Tyrannosaurus War God]
【Confirm that the player's physical data is normal】
【Player identity authentication passed】
[Correcting known issues, special transmission begins]
This wait lasted for a full half hour, and Lu Wenwu became a little impatient.
call.
It's okay.
Only at this moment did Lu Wenwu finally breathe a sigh of relief.
This time, the teleportation light was no longer the pure white as before, but a jet black like ink.
After Lu Wenwu recovered his five senses, he opened his eyes and found himself in a dimly lit world.
The sky was gray and there was no familiar sun.
Looking from a distance, everything you see is dark and cold, which looks very uncomfortable.
In front of Lu Wenwu, standing on the left was a young man in a white police uniform.
He had a pale face, was short, had a very long tongue hanging out of his mouth, held a mourning stick in his hand, and had a row of numbers on his left chest that resembled a police number.
In the center of the police hat he wore was a striking emblem that looked like the gates of hell, and above it were four vertically highlighted characters that read: Make money at first sight.
It looks like a game ID.
On the right stood a burly man wearing the same black police uniform, tall and holding a soul-catching rope.
The words floating above his police hat were: Peace in the World.
"Black and White Impermanence?" Lu Wenwu was stunned for a moment. "Why are you dressed like this? This is different from what is written in the book!"
He wasn't the only one stunned.
Even the Black and White Impermanence themselves were stunned.
Bai Wuchang had a look on his face as if he had just seen a human: "Could they have made a mistake? How come this person is alive?"
Hei Wuchang pulled out a tablet and glanced at it, only to be even more confused than he was. He pointed at the words on the tablet and said, "I don't know! Look, it says there's an exception and took the old closed route. They'll be late and won't be able to catch the bus, so they asked us to come and pick them up."
Lu Wenwu scratched his head. "Hey, you two, where are you from in the Northeast? Have the Black and White Impermanence been replaced?"
"Brother, how did you know that?" Hei Wuchang's eyes widened. "I thought I had an accent too!"
Bai Wuchang hit Hei Wuchang with his mourning stick with a look of disdain, then explained, "Seventh Master and Eighth Master are both high-ranking officials, ordinary ghosts can't see them. Wuchang and Niu Tou Ma Mian are just officials in the underworld. Otherwise, how could those four masters handle it all?"
"That's not great. I've been working here for decades and I haven't seen those four masters yet. I heard that the big bosses from the underworld are all on business trips, and I don't know when they'll be back."
Hei Wuchang sighed, walked around behind Lu Wenwu, patted him on the back, raised the soul-catching rope in his hand, and stabbed him with the sharp tip.
"Alright, you guys all know what's going on. If there's nothing else to do, just go ahead, big brother. Follow us through the process at the gates of hell. Just bear with it."
“Click.”
The hook on the front of the soul-catching rope easily pierced through Lu Wenwu's clothes.
But when it touched his skin, it made an unusual sound.
Soul hook.
Not locked in!
The Soul-Catching Rope that always works.
Not effective!
Lu Wenwu and Bai Wuchang looked at each other, and both of them felt visibly embarrassed.
He didn't know what expression was on the face of Hei Wuchang, who was trying to make the Soul-Catching Rope work properly.
But the Bai Wuchang in front of him was obviously unable to hold back anymore.
It was at this time that Lu Wenwu made a surprising discovery.
The equipment that I absorbed and refined with my god-forged body can actually be used!
Although the additional attributes of the Sky Wings behind him are gone, the Dragon Wings as a skill is still effective.
Banned.
But not completely banned.
Wuhu, another bug!
Hei Wuchang was still making a lot of noise behind Lu Wenwu's back, making himself sweat profusely.
Behind Lu Wenwu, the area around his shoulder blades was emitting sparks.
If you don’t know, you might think they are doing welding here.
No matter how the Black and White Impermanence activated the Soul-Catching Rope, the curved hook at the front could not penetrate Lu Wenwu's body.
"Well, why don't you just not bother with that? Your Soul-Catching Rope is supposed to be used against souls, right? I'm in the underworld in my physical form, so it might not be very effective."
Lu Wenwu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and found a way out for Hei Wuchang.
"It's just a procedure anyway. It's not like I won't go with you. I won't resist."
“.”
Hei Wuchang was silent for a while, silently retracted the soul-catching rope, and stood aside with a dejected look on his face.
Bai Wuchang sighed, shook his head helplessly, and pulled out a thick, palm-wide pass from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Wenwu.
"This is your underworld ID card. Keep it here. If you encounter a ghost security inspection without a pass, you will be judged as a wandering ghost who has committed crimes. Then you will be in big trouble."
Lu Wenwu immediately put it into his personal backpack and asked solemnly, "Brother, what if it is lost or accidentally damaged? I mean, what should I do?"
Hei Wuchang replied dejectedly, "Go find the nearest Bull Head or Horse Face deity to get a certificate of no criminal record. Then you can take this certificate to the nearest Earth God Temple or City God Temple to get a replacement. Let's go. We can talk on the way if you have anything to say. The road is still long."
As he spoke, he and Bai Wuchang stood on Lu Wenwu's left and right, performing strange spells with their hands.
The black light pattern spread out to form a spherical shape, wrapping the three people inside, and soared into the sky towards a certain direction, flying away at a high speed.
This ball of light is flying at an extremely fast speed.
About five minutes after takeoff, the extremely tall and majestic Ghost Gate came into view in the distance.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Lu Wenwu asked again, "Brothers, your attire is different from what's described in the book! And I saw that Brother Hei Wuchang was holding a tablet computer just now?"
"Oh, you mean this? Well, our underworld has to keep up with the times, right? This is called modernization of the underworld."
Hei Wuchang's depression came and went quickly. He and Bai Wuchang manipulated the sphere to fall and replied at the same time:
"'Wealth at first sight,' 'Peace in the world,' 'You're here too,' 'Catching you,' and so on are all optional styles, preserving the classic appearance of our Black and White Impermanence."
"I didn't expect that the underworld would also undergo reforms. This really broadens my horizons." Lu Wenwu said in surprise.
Hei Wuchang seemed to be a bit chatty and explained, "I said it was because my experience and skills were outdated and it was difficult to adapt to the new developments and changes in the department's work."
"The lack of job competition has caused individual abilities and work standards to stagnate, making it impossible to effectively improve professional qualities and even more difficult to achieve the established goals of the underworld's career development plan."
"There's a lack of experience in cross-departmental, cross-position, and cross-functional collaboration, and a lack of mutual understanding between departments. This makes it impossible to organically integrate resources, rationally coordinate and allocate resources, and achieve comprehensive coordination and collaboration. This results in low operational efficiency, making it difficult to respond to ever-changing changes and making progress difficult."
"The promotion and advancement system is rigid, outdated, unclear, and riddled with loopholes caused by personal relationships, leading to numerous chronic problems and excessive bureaucracy."
Hei Wuchang just kept babbleing on and on, saying a bunch of nonsense.
It was not until it landed in a soulless area in front of the gate of hell that it finally came to an end.
Here, in addition to the long line of ghosts queuing in an orderly manner, Lu Wenwu also met the two most famous security guards of the underworld.
Ox-head and horse-face.
Of course not the real two.
They were just two powerful ghosts wearing the uniforms of the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons.
They stood on the left and right, transforming into extremely huge bodies and standing on both sides of the Ghost Gate.
On weekdays, they are responsible for standing guard, maintaining the laws and order of the underworld, and ensuring that the souls of the dead can enter smoothly.
