Chapter 143: Chapter 136 Star Boosting! (Two in one) _1 As The Heavenly Path’s Hint ended, Chen Mo and Lin Ranhai saw significant changes in the dungeon map. Two other dungeon maps were pieced together directly, and the merged map then transformed into a vast, wide-area map. Another Heavenly Path’s Hint quickly sounded. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Due to the change in the type of dungeon, the method to clear this dungeon has changed. Please check again!] As it was a new world pieced together from three dungeons, the method to clear the dungeon had also changed. The Stars Dungeon is essentially a random combination of several relatively compatible same-type dungeons. It could be a normal dungeon, or it might be a Random Rift Dungeon. When being pieced together, you might have just entered the dungeon, already cleared half of it, or you could be near the end. However, once a dungeon transforms into a Stars Dungeon, your prior efforts would likely be in vain. But there were also benefits. The more progress you had made in your dungeon tasks, the more star boosting you would receive when your dungeon was transformed into a Stars Dungeon. Chen Mo and his party, who had just entered the dungeon, wouldn’t receive progress rewards. But since they had entered through a Random Rift Dungeon and were at a numerical disadvantage, the Stars Dungeon would compensate them with some star boosting. The Heavenly Path’s Hint promptly sounded at this moment. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: It has been detected that your original dungeon was a Random Rift Dungeon. According to the rules of transformation into a Stars Dungeon, participants of this type of dungeon can receive five random Star Boosting effects. Please check!] When Chen Mo accessed the star boosting details, he immediately saw five powerful effects. [Star Boosting·Energy Return]: Your energy recovery speed increases (10% * number of non-Star System Professionals remaining in the dungeon). [Star Boosting·Eternal Spring]: Your life recovery speed increases (10% * number of non-Star System Professionals remaining in the dungeon). [Star Boosting·Strength]: Your life value increases (100% * number of non-Star System Professionals remaining in the dungeon). [Star Boosting·Crit]: Your critical hit rate increases (1% * number of non-Star System Professionals remaining in the dungeon). [Star Boosting·Resistance]: The duration of all abnormal states you suffer decreases (1% * number of non-Star System Professionals remaining in the dungeon). "This star boosting is quite strong, but how can these five effects possibly compensate for their numerical advantage! Especially with a team of a hundred, they can form an army! Are we supposed to fight them head-on with what we have?" Lin Ranhai opened the map and checked. He found two groups of people far from their location. One group had a full hundred people, while the other only had about twenty. Their own group consisted of just two people. "We seem to be out of luck this time. We entered from a Random Rift Dungeon, and they were in the middle of a normal dungeon that got transformed. Their numbers are far greater than ours." Just as Lin Ranhai finished lamenting, Chen Mo immediately noticed something amiss. "Wait! The minimum requirement for a normal dungeon to transform into a Stars Dungeon should be a B-Class, Level 40 dungeon, right?" Hearing this, Lin Ranhai also froze. "Exactly! We were in a first-transition limited instance. Why would they pair us with a group of Level 40s to form a Stars Dungeon? This is ridiculous! They shouldn’t pull such tricks!" "It seems they’re a group of Level 40 professionals who haven’t undergone their second-transition yet. To be precise, they are indeed still within the first-transition category." "First-transition or not, the level disparity is too much! Aren’t we doomed? With such an outrageous gap, they only gave us five Star Boosting effects. That’s totally unfair." Lin Ranhai had a look of despair on his face. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Detected current average dungeon level: 38. Your level is below the average professional level in this dungeon. For every 5 levels you are below the average level, you will gain one layer of Star Boosting·Balance. You have received an additional five layers of Star Boosting·Balance. This layer count will change dynamically with changes in the average level.] [Star Boosting·Balance]: Each layer increases life value by 100% and All Attributes by 5%. "Not too bad, there’s an additional Balance boost," Chen Mo chuckled upon receiving the hint. "It’s not much use, though. It’s just a 15% increase for me." "15%?" Chen Mo almost forgot that he was Level 13, while Lin Ranhai was Level 20. Lin Ranhai, being Level 20, was 18 levels below the average dungeon level of 38. As a result, he only qualified for three layers of the buff. "Something is better than nothing," Chen Mo remarked. "Adding such a small amount to our attributes isn’t nearly enough for us to fight these people. It looks like we’re in grave danger this time." Lin Ranhai felt a deep sense of sorrow. I’m still a virgin! I don’t want to die like this! Chen Mo, however, was much more composed. Having received so many enhancements, his attributes had improved tremendously. His Health, in particular, was already very high. Of course, this Health would decrease as the number of participants in the dungeon diminished. "Since we’re here, let’s make the best of it. First, let’s check the changes to the tasks. Judging by their coordinates, they don’t seem to be in a hurry to find us." "With the maps merged, the whole world has changed. The tasks have probably undergone significant changes as well." The two of them opened the task description to check. Indeed, the task content had changed significantly, and both the difficulty and rewards had been further upgraded.
