Chapter 7
....Lin Chen took out a top-grade treasure map.
The treasure maps in New World were divided into three levels: Normal, Rare, and Supreme Grade.
Without a doubt, the Supreme treasure map was the best.
The treasure map was also a combine five to make one of higher grade synthesis.
When excavating ordinary treasure maps, there was a 1% chance that a treasure map dungeon would appear. After defeating the monsters inside, there was a 20% chance that precious items would drop.
When excavating rare treasure maps, there was a 10% chance that a treasure map dungeon would appear. The probability of dropping rare items was 35%.
The probability of a Supreme treasure map dungeon appearing was 20%, and the probability of a rare item dropping was 50%.
Of course, there were also good and bad rare items.
Hence, excavating maps was something that depended on luck.
Apart from seeing if the dungeon appearance rate was high, it also depended on whether the item dropped was good or not.
Lastly, it depended on the level of the monsters inside…
The dungeon appearance rate was the probability of a treasure map dungeon appearing.
In the end, Lin Chen’s first Supreme treasure map had a dungeon.
The location of the treasure map was at Tianchi Mountain.
A place in the game.
This place was covered in ice and snow. It was a Level 75 map, and the monsters were also Level 75. Lin Chen’s Vermillion Bird and Liu Mengyao’s stegosaurus baby were only Level 1, so they could not withstand it at all. Therefore, when Lin Chen led the way, he skillfully bypassed the monster area and used the treasure map after reaching the target location.
In the end, the two of them were quickly teleported into the instance dungeon.
“Wow, the first map had a dungeon, hehe!”
Liu Mengyao let out a cheerful voice in the team channel.
There was nothing more exciting than entering a dungeon for the treasure map excavators.
“It’s a Level 35 cave. The monster’s level isn’t high, and the things that drop are probably not very good.”
Lin Chen smiled. “I’ll just treat it as leveling up for my baby. I have four Divine Beast Pills here. I can use this dungeon to bring all our pets to Level 19. Then, eat the Divine Beast Pills and gain better skills.”
“Yup!”
Liu Mengyao nodded. It would be best if the Divine Beast Pill could be used at the right time to right before the level of the pet’s epiphany skill, which was level 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, and so on. After all, the effect of the Divine Beast Pill could increase the pet’s comprehension.
The two of them had their pets with them, but there was no need for their pets to attack. Lin Chen was now strong enough to instantly kill these Level 35 monsters.
Treasure Map Instance Dungeons were relatively simple. They just had to kill monsters along the way and see the Treasure Map Boss inside. It was fine as long as they won.
No strategy was needed.
With his divine equipment in hand, Lin Chen raised his staff and cast a large-scale storm spell. Soon, he cleared out an area, and Lin Chen’s experience points kept jumping up by +1.
“Wow, we can get experience points now!”
Liu Mengyao was a little surprised.
After all, reaching Level 100 was already the maximum level. They could no longer obtain experience points.
However, now that they could obtain EXP, it meant that the level cap had been removed.
“This game has been online for 20 years. In the third year of the game, the level cap was increased to Level 100. In the end, the subsequent levels were never released. It was stuck for 17 years. When the server was about to close, the level limit was released, but what’s the use?”
Lin Chen was speechless.
Originally, such a game with an increased level upper limit should be explosive news that would definitely dominate the trending topics. However, now, it would only attract criticism from others because it was about to stop.
As the saying went, tea would turn cold after a person left.
Level 35 monsters could only give Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao 1 EXP, but it could give their pets a lot of EXP. The Vermillion Bird and Stegosaurus had both reached Level 5.
“How do I add points to my baby?” Liu Mengyao asked for Lin Chen’s opinion. “Should I add everything to Constitution, or a ratio of 3 points to Constitution and 1 point to Agility?”
“Don’t be in a hurry!”
Lin Chen reminded him, “We’re going to excavate maps anyway. When it reaches Level 60 and learns some skills, we’ll choose to add points based on its skills… I’ll get my friend to collect some Divine Beast Pills!”
“Why do you need so many?” Liu Mengyao said, “My baby isn’t an extraordinary pet.”
“I’m still collecting eggs. I’ll just collect dazzling pet eggs. If it doesn’t work, I’ll keep opening them. I must get you an extraordinary pet as well. As for this Stegosaurus, you can use it as a mount!”
Lin Chen knew what Liu Mengyao was thinking. She felt that having a pet was enough, but Lin Chen knew that the game would invade reality in the future. At that time, pets would also be a part of the combat power. The more, the better.
It would be best if each of them brought three extraordinary pets, one to fight, and two to possess…
Of course, extraordinary pets were hard to come by.
Whether it could be obtained or not depended on luck.
However, Lin Chen was willing to spend this money.
Lin Chen sent a message to Zhang Chunlin. Zhang Chunlin replied, saying that he would immediately contact some alchemy merchants to ask.
There were many secondary professions in this game and there were also alchemists, but it was very difficult. For example, Liu Mengyao was an apothecary, which was a prerequisite profession for an alchemist. She needed 100,000 proficiency points to be promoted to an apothecary, which meant that she had successfully made 100,000 sets of medicine…
Therefore, Lin Chen felt that it was too difficult to level up this sub-profession. It was better to be a Talisman Master. Moreover, talismans could really kill enemies. In the future, when his proficiency reached that level, he could even be promoted to an Array Master. That would be even more useful.
Lin Chen continued to sweep the small monsters. Five minutes later, all the small monsters were cleared. He saw the Boss. It was a Level 35 Boss. In front of Lin Chen’s max-level god-like equipment, it could only be considered an insignificant Boss. In a single exchange, Lin Chen’s Wind Blade instantly reduced 80% of its HP.
Then, he dealt another blow and the Boss fell to the ground.
Three treasure chests appeared in front of them.
Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao were not in a hurry. There was a special way to open treasure chests. The best way was to wait for 20 seconds to see if the luster of the treasure chest was different… During this time, the Vermillion Bird and Stegosaurus had both reached Level 18.
Pets leveled up quickly to begin with, and the earliest levels were even easier to level up.
“Level 18 can eat Divine Beast Pills too. Come, give one to the Stegosaurus.” Lin Chen traded a Divine Beast Pill to Liu Mengyao.
Liu Mengyao directly fed it to the Stegosaurus that was already as tall as her chest as it leveled up.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The stegosaurus adorably licked away the Divine Beast Pill with an abnormally satisfied expression. The vermillion bird revealed an envious gaze. Lin Chen smiled and said, “Don’t be anxious. You have it too.”
He might as well feed it to the vermillion bird.
Beep!
The Vermillion Bird’s level directly reached Level 35!
It was the same for the stegosaurus.
Both pets had awakened their skills.
“Lin Chen, the stegosaurus has awakened an S-class skill!” Liu Mengyao exclaimed.
The Perfect-grade pet had awakened an S-grade skill, and the value of the Stegosaurus had increased greatly!
Such a pet was called a pseudo-extraordinary or a quasi-extraordinary in New World. It meant that it was not an extraordinary pet, but it was not far from one.
“My Vermillion Bird is a 3S skill!”
Lin Chen responded with a smile.
“Wow, 3S? That’s a forbidden spell!”
Liu Mengyao jumped up in joy. “That’s great. Is it a damage skill? If it is, then it’s perfect!”
“It really is one…”
Lin Chen shared the pet with Liu Mengyao.

[Epiphany Skill: Flame Beam (SSS)]
[Flame Beam: Instant Cast. Shoots 10 consecutive flames at the target. Damage coefficient of each flame is 0.25. Upgradeable! Cooldown: None]
After seeing this skill, Liu Mengyao was stunned. She couldn’t help but say, “Wow, this is a Mythical pet? I remember that Flame Beam can only be comprehended by fire-type pets above Level 80, right? In the end, the Vermillion Bird comprehended it at Level 20?”
Without a doubt, Flame Beam was a damage output skill.
Moreover, because it did not have a cooldown, its power was even greater. Although the damage was still very low, only 25% the Spirit value, ten consecutive flames added up to 2.5 times the Spirit stat’s damage.
Moreover, after the Flame Beam skill reached Level 10, the damage coefficient could still reach 0.75. At that time, this skill would deal 7.5 times the damage. It could be said to be an explosive damage output!
“It’s alright. After all, a Mythical pet has eaten a Divine Beast Pill, so the skills it comprehends are definitely not bad… As for the skill level, I once saw a post that said that the reason why Extraordinary pets are extraordinary is not only because of their growth and higher attribute coefficients, but also because in the eyes of Extraordinary pets, there is no level requirement for any skills.”
Lin Chen smiled and explained to Liu Mengyao, “In other words, a Level 20 Vermillion Bird, even if it’s a Level 100 pet skill, it can still learn it through epiphany.”
“I see…”
Liu Mengyao also shared her pet and asked, “How about mine?”

[Dragon Blood Sacrifice: Active skill. The Stegosaurus sacrifices half of its current HP and converts it into its master’s mana. The conversion factor is 1:1. After using it, it can trigger super strong self-healing. Cooldown: 10 minutes!]
This was the Stegosaurus’s original attribute panel. Its two innate skills were like a blood bull that was born to resist damage. Meanwhile, the Dragon Blood Sacrifice skill was simply a divine skill for a priest who never had enough mana.
And now, there was another skill.
[Revenge Roar: When the Stegosaurus is attacked, it will roar and attract the surrounding monsters to attack. Moreover, it will reflect back the physical damage it has received to the attacking unit. The reflection damage coefficient is 0.35. It can be upgraded!]
Good lord, the stegosaurus could even be a dps now!
