Volume 1, Chapter 47: Shocking Ling Xin, One Hundred Times the Damage?

In the game *Continent of Gods and Demons*, players can send messages across beginner villages as long as they are added as friends.

Therefore, even though Ling Xin was located in Beginner Village 331, Lin Yu was still able to receive her message.

Of course, this was on the premise that they had previously added each other as friends across beginner villages.

...

Beginner Village 331.

Since Lin Yu traveled at full speed, it took him about half an hour to rendezvous with Ling Xin at a wild field map called Silver Moon Lake.

The dungeon Ling Xin mentioned had been unlocked by dropping from the wild monsters, Silver Moon Turtles, right here.

"Little Lin, should I invite you to a party and enter the dungeon now?" Ling Xin looked at Lin Yu before her and asked impatiently.

After all, this was her first time triggering a dungeon.

"Hmm."

Lin Yu nodded slightly, feeling quite curious about this Silver Moon dungeon.

[Ding, your friend "Xinxin Xiangyin" has invited you to form a party. Do you accept?]

Right at that moment, the system prompt rang in Lin Yu's ear.

Lin Yu directly chose to accept.

"Little Lin, what mode should we choose?"

As soon as Lin Yu joined the party, Ling Xin asked again.

Because the main force for clearing this dungeon was obviously Lin Yu, and with her strength, she was just tagging along for the ride.

Therefore, the specific difficulty still depended on him.

"Let's go with Abyss mode."

Without hesitation, Lin Yu spoke up.

Most dungeons were divided into five modes: Simple, Normal, Difficult, Hell, and Abyss.

Previously, he had already cleared the Abyss Trial dungeon on Abyss mode.

With his strength having grown immensely since then, he held no fear whatsoever for these dungeons.

As long as the dungeon boss did not exceed level thirty, he wouldn't even bat an eye.

As Lin Yu's voice trailed off, the system prompt rang in his ear once more.

[Ding, you are about to enter the Silver Moon Dungeon. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...]

...

Until the countdown reached zero, Lin Yu's vision suddenly went dark.

Following that, the two of them appeared inside a somewhat dimly lit cave.

The light in the cave was very dim, and they could barely make out things at all.

At the same time, the entire cave was exceptionally damp, with a few drops of water occasionally dripping down, adding a touch of eeriness to the quiet cave.

Further ahead in the cave was a pool of water resembling liquid silver, looking rather wondrous.

"So this is the Silver Moon Dungeon? Why are there no wild monsters?"

Ling Xin was clearly entering a dungeon for the very first time, and she found the surrounding environment quite novel.

Especially when she saw how barren the cave was, she muttered with sudden curiosity.

In response, Lin Yu kept a vigilant gaze on his surroundings.

This was his first time entering this dungeon, and its style seemed somewhat different from the previous Abyss Trial.

Even with his formidable strength, he did not dare to lower his guard.

"Crazy woman, watch out!"

However, just as Ling Xin was about to head toward the silver pool ahead to take a closer look, the water suddenly began to churn.

Then, a pillar of water abruptly shot straight up into the air, blasting toward Ling Xin by the edge of the pool.

"-106!"

Although Lin Yu issued a timely warning, Ling Xin failed to react in time and was still struck by the water column, her health bar instantly plummeting by a chunk.

"Damn it!"

Ling Xin cursed under her breath, rapidly retreating and landing safely beside Lin Yu.

Her class was an archer, so her health pool wasn't high to begin with, and this single hit shaved off nearly a fifth of her total health.

As the two regained their footing, the creature inside the pool finally broke the surface.

It was a giant turtle with a completely silver body and a diameter of a full two meters.

And after it surfaced, three more identical fellows crawled out one after another behind it.

[Silver Moon Turtle (Elite): Level 10.
HP: 7800/7800.
Energy: 150/200.
Attack: 102.
Defense: 105.
Skills: High-Pressure Water Cannon, Water Arrow Technique, Freezing.
Description: Native inhabitants of the Silver Moon Pool, sending kids packing with a single shot.]

This Silver Moon dungeon was noticeably different from the previous Abyss Trial, starting right off the bat with elite-grade wild monsters.

Moreover, its health pool was significantly higher than ordinary elite wild monsters.

However, this was far from enough to impress Lin Yu.

After giving Ling Xin a few brief instructions, he directly drew his Blood Serpent Blade and charged forward.

Seeing this, Ling Xin hurriedly retrieved her own weapon, standing on guard with rapt attention.

"Clang!"

"Whoosh!"

Following two distinct sounds, two drastically different damage numbers instantly appeared above the head of the lead Silver Moon Turtle.

"-7332!"

"-66.6!"

Obviously, the first instance of damage was dealt by Lin Yu.

With his attack power soaring over two thousand four hundred, he had nearly one-shot the Silver Moon Turtle with a single slash.

As for Ling Xin, she dealt a number that served purely for encouragement.

"Gasp, over seven thousand damage?"

Seeing the damage dealt by Lin Yu and then looking at her own, Ling Xin couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.

You must know that she and Lin Yu were the exact same level.

Moreover, she was an archer class, yet the damage she dealt was unexpectedly only one percent of Lin Yu's!

For a moment, she was left utterly speechless. Exactly who was the archer and who was the warrior here?

Who in the world has ever seen a warrior of the same level deal a hundred times more damage than an archer?

However, Lin Yu paid no mind to Ling Xin's astonishment, and it didn't affect his blade-swinging speed in the slightest.

In less than half a minute, the Silver Moon Turtles that had looked so arrogant a moment ago were instantly turned into a pile of corpses across the ground.

"Little Lin, isn't this damage a bit too exaggerated? Has your attack power broken through two thousand?"

It wasn't until a silver pillar of light leading to the second stage lit up in the area that Ling Xin finally snapped out of her shock and looked at Lin Yu excitedly.

Recently, some posts about the damage calculation mechanics of *Continent of Gods and Demons* had appeared on the forums.

Therefore, based on the damage Lin Yu had just inflicted, she had roughly calculated his attack power.

It was definitely no less than two thousand!

"Mm, I obtained a Silver-tier equipment piece, so my attack power is currently around two thousand four hundred."

Lin Yu nodded noncommittally; there was no need for him to hide anything from Ling Xin.

"Gasp, twenty-four hundred?"

Hearing these words, Ling Xin felt like she was about to faint.

What concept was twenty-four hundred?

You have to understand that as a level 10 archer equipped with a normal archer gear piece, her attack power had only just barely crossed the two-hundred mark.

Even some wealthier archers possessing Black-Iron equipment barely scraped past three hundred.

Yet Lin Yu, a level 10 warrior, actually possessed an attack power of twenty-four hundred—was anyone else even supposed to survive?

"Silver-tier equipment?"

Seeming to recall something, Ling Xin's eyes widened instantly.

Then, she looked at Lin Yu in absolute disbelief and said, "Lin Yu, you're that hidden big shot who killed the Bronze Boss?"

You must know that there was currently only one piece of Silver-tier equipment on the equipment leaderboard.

And rumor had it that that very Silver-tier equipment dropped from slaying the Myriad Snake King!

Now that Lin Yu claimed to own a Silver-tier weapon, it undoubtedly confirmed the fact that he had slain the Myriad Snake King.

"Who else do you think could pull that off in the beginner village besides me?"

Faced with Ling Xin's reaction, Lin Yu shot her a sideways glance.

He hadn't expected this crazy woman to have so little confidence in his strength.

Hearing Lin Yu's direct admission, Ling Xin couldn't help swallowing hard, her eyes staring blankly at Lin Yu.

You have to realize that was a Bronze Boss!

"Crazy woman, what are you still standing there dazed for? Time for the next stage."

Lin Yu felt his scalp tingling under Ling Xin's eerie gaze and had no choice but to change the subject.

"Oh!"

Only then did Ling Xin snap back to her senses, following Lin Yu into the silver pillar of light and vanishing from the cave.
