Chapter 80: Entering the Dark Swamp Dungeon, Crushing All Opposition
"Yang Feng, how many contribution points did you get?"
"This time I earned 30 contribution points—I'm absolutely thrilled!"
"Sister Xue got 40 contribution points, she was completely over the moon!"
Yang Feng replied blandly, "I received 100 contribution points."
"What the hell!"
"Sister Xue was right—you must've gotten the most contribution points!"
"Earning 100 points in a single mission is more than I've gotten from several missions combined."
"Yang Feng, if you take on any more missions in the future, I absolutely want to team up with you!"
After a long string of chatter, Gao finally hung up the phone.
As for Zhang Yishu, who was standing to the side, she was already dumbfounded.
Just participating in a single mission could earn you 100 contribution points?
Everyone knew how difficult it was to earn contribution points.
It wasn’t just Zhang Yishu—even the few people beside her were stunned.
What kind of mission could possibly give 100 contribution points?
It wasn’t as if they’d never completed missions themselves; normally, you’d get 10 or 20 points.
Only with exceptional performance could you reach 30 or 40 points.
To get 100 points at once, it would have to be an advanced mission after a second class-change.
Otherwise, they’d never even heard of such a mission.
"He’s definitely lying. Who could possibly get that many contribution points?"
"I haven’t heard about any high-level missions lately, either."
"And judging by his appearance, he doesn’t seem to be that high-level!"
"Exactly, this guy is just bragging!"
Yang Feng ignored the crowd’s remarks and turned to Zhang Yishu. "Thank you."
The 80 points he’d gained were well worth it.
Zhang Yishu shook her head. "No need to thank me. You paid the points, it’s only right. Are you looking for a team to run a dungeon now?"
Yang Feng didn’t answer. Instead, he headed for the entrance to a dungeon.
Dark Marsh, Level 18 Dungeon.
Requirement: Only those under Level 20 may enter.
In the dungeon hall, there were only two low-level dungeons for those under Level 20, and Dark Marsh was one of them.
It cost 20 points to enter a dungeon, and to reset the cooldown required another 50 points.
The record for the fastest clear of Dark Marsh was 60 minutes, set several years ago.
The record was set by a team of six: a knight, a warrior, an archer, and three mages.
Each of them was Level 19, fully equipped with bronze-tier gear.
With three mages, their speed was significantly boosted.
This record had stood for years, unbroken.
The second-fastest clear took as long as 80 minutes—20 minutes slower than the top spot.
After paying 20 points, Yang Feng selected Hard Mode.
Seeing Yang Feng enter the Dark Marsh dungeon, the people in the hall immediately began to chatter.
"I thought it was some high-level pro, but it’s just a rookie under Level 20!"
"Yeah, what’s a newbie under Level 20 doing trying to show off here?"
"Getting 100 contribution points in one mission? Keep dreaming!"
"Still, he’s gutsy to solo a dungeon."
"He’s just a show-off—probably going to come crawling out in a mess any minute now!"
No one believed Yang Feng could have gotten 100 contribution points from a single mission—it was simply impossible.
Now, seeing him enter a dungeon for those under Level 20, everyone began to mock him.
They all thought Yang Feng was just boasting.
But Zhang Yishu didn’t think Yang Feng was bluffing.
There was something strange about him—he radiated confidence.
"Maybe Yang Feng really did earn 100 contribution points!"
Suddenly, that strange thought sprang up in Zhang Yishu’s mind, startling her.
A hundred contribution points—what kind of outstanding performance would that require? Zhang Yishu couldn’t even imagine it.
Meanwhile, Yang Feng found himself in a marsh, surrounded by towering trees.
The ground was thick with fallen leaves, as if no one had set foot here for years.
From the depths of the swamp came the occasional roar of monstrous beasts, enough to send chills down one’s spine.
Standing outside the marsh, Yang Feng could see monsters prowling about.
In the Dark Forest, all the monsters had been mutated under the influence of dark power.
They had all become terrifying magical beasts.
Here, there were all kinds of magical beasts.
Apart from the ones visible to the naked eye, there were others lurking in the marsh’s depths—like venomous snakes and crocodiles, cheap but dangerous beasts.
Moving through the swamp, one careless step could mean a surprise attack.
"I must break the clear record and claim the reward!"
Yang Feng muttered to himself. Then, with a wave of his hand, he summoned a vast host of Crow Warriors.
A total of 110 Crow Warriors!
The Crow Warriors who had been injured by the Shark King earlier were now fully recovered.
"Charge!"
With a single command, all 110 Crow Warriors let out piercing cries and charged into the Dark Marsh.
[Dark Direwolf (Elite Monster)]
[Level: 18]
[Combat Power: 1500]
[Speed: 2000]
[Mental Power: 1000]
[Defense: 1000]
[Stamina: 1500]
[Skill: Wolf Fang Strike]
[Dark Black Bear (Elite Monster)]
[Level: 19]
[Combat Power: 2000]
[Speed: 1800]
[Mental Power: 1000]
[Defense: 1800]
[Stamina: 2000]
[Skill: Bear’s Roar]
Yang Feng used the Detection Water Orb to scan the stats of two mutated beasts in quick succession.
Compared to his Crow Warriors, these two mutated beasts were hardly worth mentioning.
The Crow Warriors charged into the swamp, rampaging like wolves among sheep.
Most monsters couldn’t even last three seconds before being instantly slain.
[Successfully killed Level 18 Dark Direwolf. Gained 7,000 EXP.]
[Obtained: One wolf pelt.]
[Successfully killed Dark Black Bear. Gained 8,000 EXP.]
[Obtained: One tiger pelt.]
Very soon, a string of system notifications echoed in Yang Feng’s mind.
His experience points were soaring rapidly.
"When I entered the dungeon, I was Level 19. I wonder how much I’ll level up after clearing it?"
Trailing behind his Crow Warriors, Yang Feng felt that the perilous Dark Marsh was nothing to fear.
Although the marsh teemed with monsters, they were widely scattered.
Yang Feng couldn’t be bothered to gather them—he’d rather bulldoze straight ahead, since the monsters could barely survive three seconds anyway.
If he used his skills, he could kill them instantly.
His monster-killing efficiency was simply staggering; he was crushing everything in his path.
