My Computer Leads to an Instance Dungeon-Chapter 200 - 162: Advanced Skills! Player Strength Boost

Chapter 200: Chapter 162: Advanced Skills! Player Strength Boost

Fang Zhen was slightly surprised.

’Have I unlocked a new feature?’

The instance settlement screen didn’t just let him solidify skills anymore; it also allowed him to upgrade them. However, only some skills could be upgraded, while others couldn’t.

’This gives me even more control.’

He mulled it over and concluded that the Dungeon Life Game’s logic was simple: the more difficult the instance and the more advanced the world’s setting, the greater the permissions he would be granted. The system was guiding him to constantly climb and take on new challenges.

There weren’t that many skills available to solidify this time, mainly just long-spear combat techniques. This was because his primary offensive method in this instance had been using drones to spread gasoline; he hadn’t engaged in much direct combat himself.

He was fine with that.

He had Merit Points to spare, so he chose to solidify them all.

Instantly, Fang Zhen felt a warm current surge through him, and a new sensation washed over his entire body.

The main change was in his mentality.

He had a strange feeling. While other changes weren’t obvious, his mentality had undergone a significant shift. He felt a profound sense of calm composure, as if he were observing the constant ebb and flow of emotions and impulses from above, unaffected and immune to the encroachment of negativity.

This wasn’t to say he had become emotionless. He could immerse himself in his feelings whenever he wanted, but his underlying state of mind was exceptionally stable, preventing him from experiencing extreme emotional fluctuations or shocks.

This reminded Fang Zhen of something a friend he knew online often said.

That friend often claimed to have the age of a forty-year-old, the body of a twenty-year-old, the soul of an eighteen-year-old, and the mentality of a fifty-year-old.

The "fifty-year-old mentality" referred to a mind as steady as an old dog’s.

As Fang Zhen recalled this saying, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

Aside from the age part, he felt he now fit that description quite well.

"The After-Action Report for this instance has been generated. Spend 5 Merit Points to read the report?"

A message box from the Dungeon Life Game popped up.

Fang Zhen clicked "Confirm."

"Transmitting report... Transmitting..."

"Report transmission complete."

"

Fang Zhen reviewed the report. The most noteworthy points were Suggestions 3 and 4 under "Directional Suggestions."

He now had a surplus of Merit Points, so spending some to buy personally relevant information was necessary.

As for his skills, he already had quite a few. The Dungeon Life Game was clearly hinting that he would need more powerful skills to support him in the future. He needed to focus on their strength and depth, not their breadth.

"During the instance settlement process, it was detected that character ’Fang Zhen’ triggered a key plot point. The fourth act of the ’Fallen Knight’ instance can now be unlocked.

The fourth act is a delayed instance and will unlock in thirty-two days.

You may act freely during these thirty-two days, choosing to undertake other instance missions or to rest.

Note: The fourth act is a Nightmare-difficulty instance. Player Fang Zhen’s current power level is insufficient to handle this difficulty. You cannot use the ’Unlock Info in Advance’ feature. Please increase your strength as soon as possible to gain permission to enter the instance.

Note: Upon the first clear of a Nightmare-difficulty instance, you will receive new instance permissions. Please improve your strength and do your best to clear it."

Fang Zhen was quite surprised.

’Nightmare difficulty... I wonder how hard it is. I don’t even have permission to get information on it in advance.’

It seemed that acquiring permissions in the Dungeon Life Game was not only related to the highest difficulty one had cleared but also closely tied to one’s own power level.

’I’ll worry about that later. First, I need to clear the ’Bloody Lord’ instance.’

He calculated his current Merit Points.

He had gained 1,059 Merit Points from the Fallen Knight instance and originally had 73 points saved up. He had spent 25 points on information for the Bloody Lord instance, 5 points on the after-action report, and 230 points to solidify his skills.

His final balance was 872 Merit Points.

He pulled up his personal skill list.

After looking it over for a moment, he selected four skills and traits that could be upgraded.

Combat Intuition Lvl 2: Precise Intuition.

Lethal Dodge.

Mind Like Still Water. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Gang Zan Seal.

Fang Zhen selected these four to enhance.

His reasoning was actually very simple. All four skills had one thing in common: they could all be used for survival.
