Inside the Chicken Dungeon, a man and a wolf were highly motivated.

“What’s next? Bring it on!” Jack shouted.

“Woo!” (We ain’t scared!)

In front of them, there were three doors in total. Jack had the feeling that each led to a different challenge.

1. A door with a hammer

2. A door with feathers

3. A door with a bomb

Without hesitating, Jack just picked the first door. There was no need to overthink this after all. As soon the two of them entered the next room, they were confronted with a very peculiar scene.

There were tons of holes all over the floor. Then there was one humongous wooden hammer next to the entrance. It reminded him of the old-school carnival hammers.

Moon Moon curiously began observing the place. But just as it was observing one of the holes, a chicken suddenly emerged of it akin to a rocket! The thing was so damn fast that it scared the devil out of the pet!

Jack just gave a wry smile and got to work.

This thing was a game of Wack-A-Chicken. Jack promptly equipped his Chicken Warrior title. The % increase would apply to a mini-game like this for sure!

But it quickly proved not to be so simple. There was an added difficulty to it: the enemies spawning would come out of their hole if not smashed to the ground. This test was the perfect one for warriors.

Jack quickly realized the crux of this challenge:

1. One had to pace himself

2. The attacks had to be properly made.

3. It required great situational awareness.

That’s how Jack rushed all over the room, the ginormous wooden hammer smashing into the chicken head after chicken head. This game was a light one but also didn’t skimp o the gory details.

Every hit meant that a chicken head exploded, sending gory bits all over. As for missing? It was even worse! It meant keeping the cadence while getting chased around by an enemy. This time the two were perfectly in their element.

Moon Moon was a pretty great spotter. Jack didn’t have to bother about watching his back with his pet there. He could focus on watching everything else. Through their soul link, he was getting instant feedback.

That’s how they kept slaughtering. But the more it went, and the more there began to spawn some really weird chickens. Here were some of them:

1. Turtle Chickens

They were literally just chickens with carapaces. To defeat one, a challenger had to hit them twice. It didn’t add much complexity, but it sure wasted lots of time!

2. Nightmare Chickens

Why there were chickens with tentacles was completely beyond him. But these assholes could restrain people. They especially loved targeting Moon Moon when it was lazily walking around.

3. Golden Chickens

These ones were the worst! They were able to buff all the other chickens in their vicinity. They would send golden rays that progressively made the other chickens bigger, more vicious, and faster.

This whole thing was a balancing act between which chicken to smack in priority. It didn’t even require one to be fast. It just needed one to have impeccable decision-making. Contrary to the Parkour, Jack aced this one with the first try!

“Woo!” (Celebrating!)

The little wolf shook in a victory dance as it showed extreme pride in its master. Jack was expecting this only to be a simple mini-game to progress. That’s when he suddenly froze. In the middle of the room, a red golden chest had just appeared!

“Woo!” (Wary!)

Moon moon did the necessary anti-mimic check before giving a paw up to Jack, who opened it. As he saw what lied inside, he couldn’t help but grin.

New item!

Chicken Smasher Ring!

Rank F

Attribute 2 STR

Trait Boost Attack

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Nice! This was an offensive ring! Not only did it have an amazing trait, but it also boosted the stats nicely.

But there was something more to it. Jack was pretty sure that this was the first piece of jewelry that anyone unlocked in the whole of Infinite. Why? Simply because to access the chicken dungeon, one had to clear the other two!

He could already smell the profit from running this thing. Still, he couldn’t believe how easy it was. He kept chuckling:

“What a crazy trade! Smack a few chickens around and receive a powerful ring!”

Actually, this challenge was pretty harsh. What he had accomplished in one go thanks to his experience would have most likely driven many players mad. He himself had skipped this dungeon in his past life.

But to him, this was only a small accomplishment. Without taking a moment to rest, he went toward the next challenge, entering the door with the feathers. In the new room, he couldn’t help but erupt laughing. What the hell was this?!

The room was designed to look like one hella cheesy western old flick. There was an old saloon, a few tables, dust balls, and also one weird-ass enemy. In front of them was a chicken in a cowboy outfit, with leather pants and a hat.

“Hey there?” Jack tentatively greeted.

That’s when the chicken turned his way before uttering very meaningfully — cluck — cluck —cluck — ….As for what it meant, Jack had no damn clue! All he knew was that the chicken began shooting at him a second later!

This sure was weird as hell. The chicken would shake its body as it sent feathers flying across the air with a whooshing sound. Jack evaded the white sharp and deadly looking feather by instinct.

Except that he couldn’t help but become serious once he saw the projectiles disappear in the rocky ground as if it were butter. Damn! That’s when he realized what this challenge was about.

It could be reduced to one sentence:

It sounded simple right? It wasn’t at all. But there was a trick to it. Jack realized that the more he moved and the faster the feathers became. This wasn’t just about being fast, but about moving meaningfully.

The more he played these challenges, and the more he wondered….why had he never done them in his previous life? That ** was fun! Then again, who cared? This current life was now the most important.

Jack was now 100% focused on the task at hand. The feathers were becoming super fast! He could only hope that the reward for it would be as nice as the previous one!

Greed was an incredible source, of motivation after all…

Creator’s Thought

In Infinite, there are limited slots to jewelry. This is to avoid forcing the players to jewelry hunt all the time. After all, there are far too many fingers on one’s hands! Jewelry = 2 Rings 2 Earrings 1 Necklace.
