Hex was training when his good friend sent him a message.

Just like Chen Feng, this good friend was also his brother who had been a mercenary together with him.

“How is this possible? With Chen Feng’s skills, how could he be defeated?” Hex was puzzled, obviously not believing it.

“It was Maise the God! I just contacted Chen Feng, let him tell you!”His friend replied.

After a while, Chen Feng’s ID flashed on his friend list.

“What’s wrong, brother? I remember that you were wearing a set of silver-grade equipment and were a close-range warrior. How could you die at the hands of someone else?” Hex immediately asked.

Chen Feng sighed when he heard that.

He had just stood up in the resurrection point and was now a level 5 weakling, and all of this was the doing of the Maise the God.

“Stop asking about it!” Chen Feng was very depressed and did not want to talk about this matter.

“Just tell me, did Maise the God attack you?” Hex asked firmly, insisting on knowing the truth.

“Yes,” Chen Feng nodded.

He did not want to think about whatever had happened in Green Forest Town, but since his companion had asked, he could not hide it anymore.

He remembered that in the beginning, the three of them had entered the world of Sword and Magic together.

Then, they added each other as friends and discussed their plans to stand at the peak of this world.

Thus, one chose to be a close-range warrior, one chose to be a giant race shield warrior, and the other chose to be an exorcist.

After that, Hex obtained a class scroll and transitioned to be a gun swordsman.

When these three classes were combined, as long as they could develop to the later stages, they would be very powerful.

Chen Feng had spent a lot of time studying the combination classes. In the end, he confirmed one thing: In a three-person team, there had to be a mage and a warrior.

The remaining one of the team had best be in the support class or the second best choice, a range class.

Unfortunately, after studying for so long, he died not long after leaving the novice village.

Because of this, his progress was already behind more than half of all the players.

“Do you need me to avenge you?” Hex said coldly.

Hearing this, Chen Feng fell into deep thought.

Although he was reluctant to let his brother get involved in this mess, he did yearn to get rid of Maise the God.

“Are you confident?” Chen Feng asked.

“Yes!” Hex nodded.

He had mastered Penetrating Shot to level 2.

As long as he seized the opportunity, he could complete the assassination and let Maise the God die abruptly.

“I’ll leave this matter to you. Next, I have to hurry up and level up. I hope that when the dungeons open next, we can team up!” Chen Feng said.

“Go ahead,” Hex nodded.

Right now, the most important thing for Chen Feng was to level up first. Only by doing so would he at least be able to even reach the level threshold to enter the dungeons.

Not long after, Hex’s gaze moved down and landed on his hands.

In his left hand was a laser gun, while in his right hand was a silver-white longsword.

Although the laser gun was only a piece of silver-grade equipment, when paired with the skill, Penetrating Shot, it could unleash strong lethality.

At this moment, quite a number of people passed by. When they saw Hex, they immediately revealed a fearful expression and pointed at his left hand.

“This guy has a gun!”

“He actually has a gun!”

“Let’s go!”

Everyone was scared and sneaked away.

To the ordinary players, people with guns were even more terrifying than wizards.

Although both classes performed long-range attacks, wizards needed powerful equipment to support their spells.

In contrast, even a normal gun could cause serious injuries if it hit a vital point.

This was also the reason why ordinary players were so afraid of guns.

Hex simply ignored the passersby and immediately began to practice.

The gun swordsman class required players to constantly familiarize themselves with the weapons to be able to display the effects of both weapons in battle.

Thanks to this, Hex found an area that spawned wild beasts and immediately entered a crazy training mode.

“Maise the God, I’m going to take your life for my brother Chen Feng. I’m going to take away all your equipment and pets!” While Hex was training, a determined expression appeared on his face.

Not long after, another message came from his friend list, “Hex, are you sure you don’t want to join Grand Sea Guild? This is the third time our guild master has asked me to invite you!”

While Hex was training, he stopped and looked at the message.

“I’m not interested in Grand Sea Guild!” Hex sneered.

As a mercenary, he had his pride.

Besides, he had obtained the gun swordsman class in the early stages of the game. Even if he did not join a guild, it would not affect his growth.

Moreover, the guild only had some simple quests in the early stages that would not provide much EXP.

Under such circumstances, Hex naturally could not be bothered to join.

“I’m sorry, but I have to refuse,” Hex replied.

Seeing this, his friend “Tianyu” replied helplessly, “Alright, but let me remind you, the dungeons are about to open! If you haven’t found anyone to team up with, then feel free to PM me!”

Hearing this, Hex was taken aback.

The dungeons?

They were going to open so soon?

“Alright! I’ll contact you later!” Hex sent a message, turned off the chat screen, and continued to train.

Although he did not plan to join a guild, if a dungeon was to open, he did not plan to miss it.

Moreover, he might even meet the Maise the God in the dungeon.

“A battle in the dungeon! Maise the God, get ready and wash your neck clean. I will personally use the silver-white longsword in my right hand to cut your head down!”

…

Just as Hex was training crazily and killing monsters to level up, Jiang Bai finally received news from the master blacksmith.

The master blacksmith of Green Forest Town had sped up the progress and shortened the forging time of the platinum-grade Universal Key by one hour.

“Respected and great adventurer, I have satisfied your needs. Here is the platinum-grade Universal Key you have asked for. Please accept it,” The master blacksmith said as he held the key with both hands and pushed it out, handing it to Jiang Bai.

Jiang Bai picked up the key and left the forging house.

Although it didn’t matter if an NPC saw the mysterious treasure chest, no one could guarantee that the NPC wouldn’t tell on them.

“This treasure chest has no grade at all? What kind of reward will be inside?” Su Muxue asked with surprise.

She had seen black iron treasure chests, bronze treasure chests, and others, but she had never seen such a treasure chest that was not graded.

The mysterious treasure chest that Jiang Bai was holding emitted a mysterious aura. It was unlike the golden treasure chests that would be shining with light.

In the next second, he took out the platinum-grade Universal Key that he had just obtained and inserted it into the treasure chest.

Ding! Congratulations player Maise the God for opening the mysterious treasure chest. You have gained the three buffs of curse immunity, stun immunity, and imprisonment immunity!

Hint: When you enter the dungeon, the minute you activate the three buffs, they will take effect immediately. They can only be used once. After exiting the dungeon, they will immediately lose effect!

Curse Immunity Buff: Immune to all curses, including dragon curses, wizard curses, dwarf curses, spell curses, and so on!

Stun Immunity Buff: Any wizard stun skill will not affect you!

Imprisonment Immunity Buff: Regardless of whether physical or spell imprisonment, it will be ineffective. There is a chance for it to bounce back to the caster!
