Chapter 413: Chapter 255: Dungeon Settlement! Dungeon Life Game Version Upgrade (Part 3)

Fang Zhen carefully examined each Skill Tree. He discovered that the "Equipment Usage" category was further divided into two subcategories: Firearms and Cold Weapons.

The firearms branch had Stable Shot, Precision Shot, and Sniper Mastery.

Under Cold Weapons, Basic Spearmanship (Complete) and the "Ancient Martial Arts: Long Spear" Skill Tree were lit up.

As he looked down the list, he saw that each skill now naturally had an icon. For example, the long spear section had an icon of a Bright Silver Spear and displayed its current level.

There were several small dots after each skill in the Skill Tree. For example, the Gang Zan Seal, which he had practiced for a long time and used frequently, now had three lit dots.

And the maximum for the Gang Zan Seal was actually six dots.

Fang Zhen was a little surprised.

He had thought the Gang Zan Seal would max out at level four, or level five at most. ’But now it seems it can be upgraded to level six?’

’I wonder what a level-six Gang Zan Seal would be capable of. Could it block a Tomahawk missile?’

Fang Zhen found this very interesting. After looking at the Skill Trees for a while, he decided to first go back and solidify the skills he had obtained in this instance.

He had earned a lot of Merit Points this time, and he didn’t hold back, solidifying every skill that could be solidified.

A golden flame burned, and Fang Zhen felt many more skills solidify.

After the solidification process, a separate dialog box popped up on the screen again.

"Detected that character Fang Zhen has obtained a special non-corporeal information point. Merit Points can be spent to appraise it. This appraisal will cost 220 Merit Points. Do you wish to proceed?

Special Note: This item for appraisal is non-physical and possesses a certain degree of danger. Please use with caution if it remains unappraised."

Fang Zhen’s eyebrow twitched. He thought for a moment. ’What on earth do I have that fits this description?’

Just then, he remembered the three rhombus-shaped points of light he had obtained after killing Balenzuo, which resembled subspace coordinates.

After killing Balenzuo, three dark-red, rhombus-shaped points of light had appeared in Fang Zhen’s mind. They strongly resembled subspace coordinates, and he could see them just by focusing his Spirit, but he hadn’t dared to touch them.

In fact, after careful consideration, he felt these three points of light were very dangerous.

He recalled something Balenzuo had said during their conversation, after he had learned the demon’s true name.

Balenzuo had been planning to sell the human souls of the Zambein Kingdom to devils, and after wringing this world dry of all value, he wanted to sell the world itself to demons.

This led to a very obvious deduction.

If Balenzuo wanted to sell souls to devils, he must have had a way to contact both demons and devils. Otherwise, his plan would have been nothing but a castle in the air.

From this, one could deduce that Balenzuo had connections to both the demon and devil sides.

’So how did he contact them?’

Fang Zhen hadn’t found any such tool on Balenzuo’s body, but the three dark-red, rhombus-shaped points of light that appeared in his mind after Balenzuo’s death gave him much to think about.

If demons and devils could descend directly into this world, there would have been no need for Balenzuo to be the one selling souls to the demons of Purgatory or the devils of Hell.

Therefore, it was reasonable to assume that Balenzuo merely possessed a method of contact.

That method, then, was very likely the three dark-red, rhombus-shaped points of light in Fang Zhen’s mind.

Fang Zhen guessed there was a high probability that these three points represented three different worlds—possibly the spatial coordinates for the domain where devils resided and the Purgatory where demons dwelled.

’This guess seems quite reasonable.’

As for the specific coordinates of the third point of light, Fang Zhen had no idea.

Because of this deduction, he hadn’t dared to touch these three points of light—they were too dangerous. And yet, they seemed to have some use.

Fang Zhen thought for a moment, then clicked the "Confirm" button in the Dungeon Life game interface.

Instantly, the three points in Fang Zhen’s consciousness began to pulse with a dark-red color.

Meanwhile, on the Dungeon Life game interface, three points of starlight from a night sky appeared in his inventory.

"Appraisal Result: Character ’Fang Zhen’ has obtained a Devil’s Subspace Coordinate.

Term Explanation: Devil’s Subspace

This is the subspace of a high-ranking devil from Hell. The space is independent of Hell but is inextricably linked to it.

Through this subspace, the devil can maintain a connection with creatures it has signed a pact with, and it can also be used for material or spiritual sacrifices.

Special Note: Use with extreme caution. Everyone who deals with a devil believes they can gain an advantage, but in the long run, no one who trades with a devil has ever found a happy ending."

"Appraisal Result: Purgatory Fragment

Term Explanation: A small spatial fragment from the plane of Purgatory. The environment within is very similar to one of the layers of Purgatory. This fragment may have come from a great demon, and this coordinate can be used to locate it.

Special Note: Purgatory is connected to the chaotic and tyrannical energies of the universe. Please be cautious when interacting with it. He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

"Appraisal Result: Coordinates to an Unknown Space

Term Explanation: The world corresponding to these coordinates cannot be confirmed, but it can be determined that this is a complete world, not a fragment.
