Chapter 69 The Silver Mark! A stunning new record!
"What?! Someone actually broke the record!"
"No way! This dungeon has been around for over a decade, and countless elite teams have played through it. The records have long been pushed to an absurd level, and it's actually been broken today?!"
"Yes, I remember the previous fastest record was 52 minutes, broken by a team composed entirely of S-rank players. Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it's still at the top of the leaderboard. There are still experts like it?"
"I wonder if it broke the fastest record or just got into the top ten? If it's in the top ten, then it's understandable."
"I just want to know which team it was? I didn't see any genius teams go in just now."
The area around the portal to the instance was unusually lively.
Everyone was eagerly anticipating who would break the record.
However, they did not see the team of geniuses they had imagined; instead, they only saw Su Lin alone and a uniquely shaped sea turtle.
"Why is nobody here?"
"Who is this kid?"
"Huh? He's the one who soloed the dungeon, he actually came out?!"
"Could it be that they couldn't win and ran away? But their expression doesn't seem like it."
Everyone had different thoughts.
It's not that no one guessed it; could it be that Su Lin broke the record all by himself?
But soon, that idea was dismissed.
Clearing a dungeon solo is already an extremely genius achievement. If someone can break the record set by five S-rank geniuses working together, then are they even human?
Who would believe something like this?!
but.
Just when everyone was wondering who had broken the record.
The golden light emanating from the record tablet converged into a mysterious mark, which then disappeared into Su Lin's brow with a whoosh.
warm.
My mind seems to have cleared up considerably.
Is this the record-breaking reward from Heaven?
Su Lin carefully examined himself and couldn't sense anything different from before, but he clearly saw a message on the status bar:
[Silver Mark (Level 1): Increases all attributes by 10%, Luck by 2, and the probability of dungeon progression to Abyss mode by 5%]
Silver Mark?
What does that mean?
How is this categorized?
Is it based on my performance, or the difficulty of the dungeon?
However, to be honest, the generosity of this reward surprised Su Lin. A percentage increase in all attributes was already very strong, not to mention that it was a full tenth of the original value!
As for the second point, it may seem like it only adds 2 points of luck, but this kind of hidden attribute is actually very rare. It's worth a fortune to get even one point, so adding two points is already quite terrifying.
As for the probability of a dungeon becoming an abyss...
This is rather intriguing.
For Su Lin, this is indeed a good thing.
But he felt that this matter didn't seem very good to others.
[Ding! Alien marker detected. Spend evolution points to expel it?]
Just as Su Lin was wondering what was going on, something even more surprising happened.
The Infinite Evolution System actually gave a prompt, saying it was... an alien mark?!
"What's going on?"
"Isn't this a blessing from Heaven? How did it become a mark of a foreign race?"
"What kind of race are these 'alien races'? Demons? Or one of the myriad races?"
"Something...is not right!"
Su Lin was stunned.
Every professional's common sense tells him that the rewards for breaking dungeon records are highly sought-after items.
But the system told him that this thing didn't seem to be a reward, but rather a kind of mark?
"So, the increased probability of dungeons becoming abyssal is definitely not right..."
As soon as this thought came to mind, Su Lin seemed to see an invisible hand covering his head, which made him feel a chill all over his body!
Something is wrong!
This world is far more complex than I imagined!
"How many evolution points are needed to remove this mark?"
Su Lin took a breath and asked quietly.
[100 o'clock.]
The system's answer was very brief.
Su Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
With just 100 points, it shouldn't be a big problem.
If it costs several thousand or tens of thousands of points to expel someone, that would be troublesome, indicating that the situation is probably very serious!
"We will not expel them."
After thinking it over, Su Lin did not choose to expel them.
Regardless of what secrets lie behind this, he has never heard of any accidents occurring to the professionals who have received the blessing of the dungeon record.
Most of them should be doing well.
Moreover, the attributes and probabilities added by this thing are real, and there are currently no side effects.
Since that's the case, let's keep Su Lin for now. We can expel him later when we've figured things out.
The system didn't make any demands, and when Su Lin refused, it disappeared.
at this time.
While Su Lin was in a daze, he was unaware that a huge uproar had already taken place around him.
Everyone clearly saw the record-breaking golden light enter Su Lin's body.
And, he really was all alone!
"Solo! It really is solo! Holy crap, who is this guy? He's so awesome?"
"Not only that, I just glanced at it, do you know what his record is?"
"How much? Did they break the record for first place?!"
"That's right! The first place used to be 52 minutes, but now it's second, and this guy in front of us has achieved an incredibly fast time of 45 minutes all by himself!"
"Holy crap! Forty-five minutes?! Really?!"
Upon hearing this number, there was an uproar.
You should know that although the mine instance may not seem very big, the route is winding and circuitous. If you don't care about anything else, it will take at least twenty minutes to complete the whole process!
Now, Su Lin cleared the game in just 45 minutes by defeating monsters and killing bosses all by himself?!
What kind of speed is that?!
Hundreds of monsters, and they're all instantly killed on sight?!
Keep in mind that the monsters in this dungeon have very high defense, and the BOSS is especially difficult to deal with. It takes a normal team at least half an hour just to kill the BOSS!
"This is insane! That hook is so fast, it's unbelievable!"
"I just can't understand it, is the difference between people really that big?"
"Judging by his age, he must be a high school graduate this year. Who knows which school he's from? He has a very high chance of winning!"
"I don't know him!"
"Never seen it before!"
"Never heard of that before!"
The crowd whispered amongst themselves, their gazes toward Su Lin filled with complex emotions.
Awe, awe, like watching a rising star!
But there are also some people who cannot believe it.
"How could someone complete the game so quickly? There's definitely something wrong!"
"If you ask me, he definitely used some special equipment, like a high-powered scroll or something!"
"Not bad, otherwise how could they have achieved such results? And they're not even the geniuses we know. Hmph, they must have come here to make their presence known!"
Their argument is not entirely without merit.
The dungeon does not restrict the use of any items. Over the years, quite a few people have used items to deliberately boost their rankings. However, such behavior is despicable and will result in disgrace if exposed.
Therefore, almost no one has done it in recent years.
Su Lin's solo performance was so incredible that it was hard not to suspect something was amiss!
These words reached Su Lin's ears clearly.
