Chapter 658 - 302: Instance: Magic Legend

"Hmm... where did it go wrong?"

In the kitchen, Lu Wenwu frowned at the stack of egg pancakes in front of him, utterly perplexed.

During these past two years of leisure, Lu Wenwu had never given up on exploring the limits of egg pancake cooking.

One could say he had almost used the simplest, most clumsy enumeration method to experiment with recipes and the cooking process.

If he were to judge himself, this egg pancake could already be considered flawless within the realm of All Laws Connect to God.

But for some unknown reason, he just couldn’t break through that barrier.

What made Lu Wenwu feel even more disheartened was that even if the road had truly come to an end, it would be fine.

But it hadn’t.

He could clearly feel that a wider path was right in front of him.

Just push away that thin fog, peel away that layer of window paper, and he could climb higher mountains, see longer rivers, and behold more beautiful scenery.

Unfortunately, all of this was stuck in a bottleneck.

"Forget it, it’s about time to pack up and enter a dungeon."

Lu Wenwu muttered to himself, raised his hand to mark these experimental egg pancakes, and stored them in his personal backpack.

With a gesture of his left hand, a very basic Cleaning Spell was constructed and automatically began to clean the various traces left on the kitchenware from cooking.

He had learned it earlier in the Blood-Red Immortal Trace dungeon, and Lu Wenwu loved using it.

As everyone knows, cooking is indeed a joyous activity.

But cleaning the kitchen and washing dishes is not.

Coincidentally, Lu Wenwu thought the same.

So he used this little spell with exceptional skill.

If this spell could enter his personal panel, its skill level rating would definitely be [Peak of Perfection].

After tidying up the kitchenware and putting them away neatly, he left the rest to the intelligent robot, and Lu Wenwu transformed his chef’s outfit into a casual outfit, walking into the living room.

Xiaobao was lying proudly atop the cat tree, munching on small fish snacks.

Mao Mao was clawing at the edge, attempting to invite Xiaobao to play, but was completely ignored.

Though it mostly got ignored, Xiu Dog was not discouraged, its main tactic being persistent invitations.

Eventually, Xiaobao would be annoyed to the point of being unable to stand it.

To take a comfortable nap, the little kitty would helplessly sigh and, "graciously" accompany the "lonely" dog for a while.

"Alright Mao Mao, time to go."

Lu Wenwu stretched out his hand, and Mao Mao turned around excitedly, wagging its tail, leaping high.

When it accurately landed in Lu Wenwu’s arms, it had already transformed into the form of a puppy, sticking out its tongue towards Xiaobao and playfully waving its paw.

Lu Wenwu chuckled as he walked up, exercising his cat owner’s rights by giving Xiaobao a couple of good rubs on its soft, fluffy body.

"We’re off, see you in a few days."

"Meow~"

Xiaobao lazily responded, finding a sunny and warm spot on the cat tree to curl up into a ball.

"Come on, start matchmaking!" Lu Wenwu looked at his system panel, "No insiders, let’s have a casual one. I know S Tier players have a tiny bit of choice over dungeon types, give me one too."

[Detected player intent, completing preference direction]

[Direction complete, matching in progress]

[Detected pet, your dungeon difficulty has been increased]

[Match successful]

[Dungeon: Magic Legend]

[Introduction: Some say, magic is the origin of all cultivation. Some say, mastering magic to the extreme leads to immortality. Others say, magic is the source of destruction, Pandora’s Box that destroys the world. When the gods withdrew, and the old glories faded, myriad cultivation systems flourished, yet the oldest and most noble wizards of this world abandoned the path of the ancient sages. Why is that?]

[Players: 1]

[Main Quest: Explore the buried past of magic]

[Current Assimilation Rate: 21.47%]

[Dungeon Level: S]

[Time Flow Rate: 10:1]

[Note: This dungeon uses an active settlement method. Once you believe you’ve completed the main quest, you can apply for dungeon settlement. At that time, the system will provide a corresponding rating level based on your quest completion]

[Note: You only have one application opportunity, please be cautious]

[Note: Settlement applications are not immediate, avoid extreme operations]

The exploration mainline provided by the dungeon system left Lu Wenwu very satisfied.

This means he doesn’t have to rush and can take his time exploring and researching.

This time, since the familiar Crimson Abyss wasn’t present, he had no intention of burdening himself too much.

The way of cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation.

Alternating between rest and labor is the best way.

In his past years of cultivation, he was too impatient, and his mindset had started becoming restless.

Therefore, Lu Wenwu planned to relax a bit this time and avoid running around as if his life depended on it.

Hmm...

While continuing to study his egg pancakes!

"But this time, the system is surprisingly generous, just straightforwardly letting me know it’s a solo round?"

Lu Wenwu was a bit surprised by this.

However, he didn’t stay surprised for long, as he was enveloped by the familiar white light of teleportation, and sent into the dungeon.

Once his vision cleared, he found himself in a lush forest.

The area was densely vegetated, teeming with wildlife, with the faint sounds of creatures roaring like thunder in the distance.
