Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

Chapter 695 - 318: Gifts, Shadows Beneath the Divine Birthday Festival (Part 2)

Maybe I can even get a heroine bundled together with an empire, unlocking the main quest of "Hundred Nations Conquest, Uniting the Continent." That would be enough to write a web novel!

Unfortunately, Lu Wenwu felt nothing about it.

These treasures that are priceless on the Gods Continent only serve the purpose of being sliced up to pave the floor for him.

A few love letters arrived from girls he didn’t even remember.

Some even included gif pictures of themselves dressed in spicy chicken costume, which made Lu Wenwu feel a bit awkward.

This atmosphere is too open; it’s a bit overwhelming.

Although he’s not opposed to one-night stands, considering the situation now, it’s better to pass.

Not familiar, and just ordinary humans, too plain, not interesting.

Next were the gifts from acquaintances, which Lu Wenwu manually unwrapped along the way.

The largest and most eye-catching package was from Mende. It was a magic storage box carved entirely from a piece of magic wood, with gold-engraved reliefs on the outside.

In a word—opulent.

The inside of the box contained a one-meter-tall giant amethyst sculpture of a Zijing flower, crafted entirely from the finest Roland Magic Purple Crystal, sculpted to life with craftsmanship reaching the peak of perfection.

Calling such an amethyst Zijing flower priceless is not an exaggeration at all.

Bear in mind, this thing is generally the main material used by Great Mages or Truth Mages to create primary battle equipment.

Aside from luxury and beauty, there are no other adjectives to describe it.

Mende’s gift was not just one item.

He’s really quick; even a deluxe sample of "Fifth Brother’s Recipe Book" was sent along.

Written in beautiful script, with each step of each dish accompanied by illustrations done by professional artists, it looks a bit like a magazine on Blue Star.

This made Lu Wenwu very satisfied.

Besides this specially-treated sculpture and recipe book, there was also a handwritten letter from the Emperor of the Zijing Empire. The general idea was to welcome Lu Wenwu to visit the country, explore the imperial library, and so on, while praising Lu Wenwu’s recipe book profusely.

The Zijing Emperor also took on his son’s role, personally writing a preface for Lu Wenwu’s recipe book, accompanied by royal certification.

Mende had a big argument with his dad over this, causing some minor discord between the father and son.

Snow, the Snow Werewolf, sent a silver-white wolf hair magic brush made from his tail’s soft fur, which comes with adjustable ice and snow effects, performing very well with temperature-sensitive herbs.

It’s worth mentioning that Snow even sent a gift for Mao Mao—a delicate Snow Wolf Race specialty ice crystal bowl, which can be used to have cold or hot drinks anytime, anywhere.

The gift Lu Wenwu gave him was something not from this world, a top-tier elixir from the Cultivation Realm—the Blood-Backtracking Bone Refining Pill.

After consumption, one can undergo purification, enhancing one’s qualifications and inducing a transformation of one’s bloodline.

For Beastman races, which greatly value and rely on bloodlines, this elixir is an absolute treasure.

The gift from the Silver Skull was quite unique, a pure soul crystal.

Although usually silent and seemingly sluggish, he’s quite thoughtful.

Soul crystals are treasures that mages can absorb and refine, offering great benefits in enhancing spiritual power.

If Lu Wenwu was in the situation detected at the school opening ceremony, this would be an absolute lifesaver, able to quickly boost "development" speed.

Since Lu Wenwu isn’t very familiar with undead creatures, he thought for a long time before the Divine Birthday Festival and eventually gave a piece of thousand-year Yin Spirit Soul Nourishing Wood.

Both relate to the soul, should be useful...right?

The gift from the Fire Element is much simpler and more direct; it’s a low-rank Fire Elemental Heart, a special product from his homeland.

This guy truly left Lu Wenwu puzzled about what to give in return.

After racking his brains for a while, he condensed a seed of Purgatory Fire to give back.

It wasn’t just classmates who sent gifts; quite a few professors gave him things too.

Probably because he really likes egg-filled pancakes, the vice-dean Netter gave him a potion called "Whispers of the Ancient Tree of Life," a speciality of the Elf Race.

The effect is simple but profound, increasing the consumer’s life span by one hundred years, effective the first time only.

Uncle Silver Dragon Isidro’s gift was very dragon-like.

He used a space storage box to send a whole bunch of shiny gold items, something that could sell for over ten million gold coins if taken out as pure gold.

Along with the gold items was a note: A dragon cannot be without gleaming treasure, just as a kingdom cannot be without a ruler!

Considering a dragon’s character, this definitely counts as a big gesture.

It’s evident that Isidro holds deep affection for this "tragic" young nephew.

Divine Blood Knight Goodell’s gift was a book he compiled himself—"Knight’s Adventure Guide," containing many practical skills and methods for various predicaments, essentially the culmination of a Near-God powerhouse’s lifetime experience.

Hmm...only the book’s title was sneakily changed by Isidro to — "Dragon Anti-Deception Guide: Human’s Little Thoughts"

Lu Wenwu didn’t comment on this behavior, storing the book away to study carefully later.

Let’s just say this old couple... old partners have quite the interesting play.

Lastly, what Old Man Wood gave was very fitting for his status and was extremely generous.

A set of exquisite magic armor!

Created from leftover materials from making the Bath Fire Demon Dragon Staff, combined with some precious magic materials.

The extreme enchantments and magic array solidifications were maxed out, enough to be described by the word luxury.

Even by the dungeon system’s ratings, this thing is at least among the strongest in top-tier legendary armor, definitely to be considered precious.

Seeing this, his three other roommates stared, and Snow let out a high-pitched howl in astonishment.

Stuff of this caliber would make even a Legendary Knight envious!

Lu Wenwu was very pleased with this piece of magic armor and immediately tried it on, finding that it matched him quite well.

Even though Old Man Wood often used a hammer to knock his head, credit where credit is due, his gifts are truly generous.

Truly worthy of being the Alchemy Law God, one of the most powerful arms dealers on the Gods Continent!

Hehe, hope the gift I sent can help you make some breakthroughs in your alchemy!

Lu Wenwu thought with a cheerful smile.

While almost everyone in the Magick Wizard Academy was immersed in the joy of the Divine Birthday Festival, there was one person who wasn’t happy.

Or rather, it technically wasn’t a person.

It was actually a mass of black, gas-like substance.

It was currently quietly residing within a freshman with poor talent at the Arcane Academy. This freshman was completely unaware, only finding his cultivation speed inexplicably improved.

Looking at its newly chosen host, the black mist let out a sinister "ke-ke-ke" laugh in its heart.

What on earth was that Mende I chose before, a total waste?

As the always yearning yet unattainable Second Prince, even though jealousy had exploded in his heart, he managed to just be angry for an entire day despite his extreme fury!

Just because Hong Wen didn’t turn dark, he even proactively approached his "enemy", spending lots of money to ask for guidance?

This is pure madness!

Utterly unreasonable!

What about your status?

What about your family’s influence?

If you dislike him, go mess with him!

How does raging incompetently in the dorm count at all?

Seeing Mende’s actions, the black mist was directly stifled with anger.

In a fit of rage, it chose a new host.

The new human host was one it carefully picked.

Always wanted to become a mage but lacked talent.

Has some talent to become an Arcanist, learns and understands arcane magic quickly, but lacks talent overall.

Plus, he only comes from a slightly affluent commoner family, leading him to be envious and resentful of others in the dorm all the time, especially jealous of those geniuses.

Especially wealthy geniuses, geniuses who can use magic.

Mende and Lu Wenwu are the ones he is insanely jealous of, wanting to replace them at any moment.

Unfortunately, though his comprehension is strong, he hasn’t applied it properly.

Not working hard on arcane skills, constantly complaining about fate’s unfairness.

This perfectly fits the black mist’s target for parasitism.

In its eyes, such a person is far superior to that waste Mende!
