After the Bloodline Ability upgraded, the cooldown time also changed.

　　Due to the different offering types, each type had a different cooldown time.

　　The food offering was a day, blood was 3 days, treasure was 7 and human was 30.

　　As the effects became stronger, the cooldown time got longer.

　　Yi Qiu touched his bald head. He realized that he didn’t have any materials for any of the offering types.

　　This was more of a problem. If he chose treasure offering, he did have the Brass Knuckle Duster, but the treasure offering time was still not up.

　　It was worth mentioning that the time in the dungeon and on earth was different. Yi Qiu noticed that it was roughly 2:1 ratio.

　　Which meant that every two seconds in the dungeon was one second on earth.

　　The battle map was even worse, practically 1000:1.

　　Yi Qiu entered the battle map for roughly half an hour, but when he looked at his phone he realized that only a minute had passed.

　　Yi Qiu started to suspect that as the battle map expanded, the time flow difference would get larger and larger. It was practically an infinite expansion.

　　Which meant that after Yi Qiu entered the battle map, earth’s time would pretty much stop.

　　Of course, time didn’t really stop. It was just that the flow of time was so short that a large portion of living beings wouldn’t be able to sense it. Thus, it gave one a feeling that time had stopped.

　　As he couldn’t offer anything, Yi Qiu gave up on merging with the Dragon Bloodline Dog-Head Man, as merging with Bloodline Material had the biggest effect when one’s luck was high.

　　One could merge with unlimited amounts of Bloodline Material, this was a special function of the version of the Integrated Network that Yi Qiu was in. There wouldn’t be any negative effects either.

　　If there was a clash between Bloodline Material and body, it will only cause the effects to weaken or be totally useless.

　　Of course, the prerequisite would be that one had sufficient Integrated Network Coins…

　　…

　　He touched his bald head and felt a little bored.

　　He had no dungeons left and he hadn’t met the requirements for any small-sized battle maps. Yi Qiu wasn’t interested in low-level quests.

　　The rewards were low and took a lot of time. More importantly, the final reward was mostly charm…

　　Yi Qiu touched his bald head and felt like he was more suited for doing practical quests…

　　It was the 30th of the month, but Yi Qiu didn’t care much about the new year.

　　He was not an emotional person, so he didn’t care much about the past.

　　However, every new year’s eve, when he looked at the lights all around, he would have a bad taste in his mouth.

　　This year was different. Yi Qiu opened his curtains.

　　Outside, it was a rare clear sky. Every new year, the heavens would bless everyone.

　　The sun shone on Yi Qiu’s bald head. His ordinary life was like a grey white picture in his memory, becoming one of the past, becoming something forever left in his past…

　　Thoughts flew and Yi Qiu suddenly thought about a serious problem…

　　He ran to the freezer and opened it, he realized that there wasn’t much Wild Boar meat left…

　　”How unfortunate!”

　　Yi Qiu facepalmed and felt really sad.

　　When he completed the Pumpkin Field Ravaged by Wild Boar map, he didn’t consider the meat problem. Now that he completed it, he didn’t obtain a dungeon card, so he no longer had a meat source…

　　Damn! His juicy porkchops!

　　Thinking about how he had to face the problem of juicy porkchops becoming part of history, Yi Qiu felt that it was a tragedy.

　　Foodies wouldn’t feel sad about the past, but they would feel sad about losing food.

　　Yi Qiu felt that he needed to find food sources in small-sized battle maps. After all, he was used to eating juicy porkchops, and having none now was so unbearable.

　　…

　　He touched his bald head as he clicked on his inventory. He remembered there was a small battle chest.

　　Small Battle Chest:

　　Origin: Small Battle Map (For a man’s pride!) Final reward

　　Quality: Green (Based on battle map’s difficulty and final performance)

　　Keywords: Unlimited

　　Description: This is the final chest of the small-sized battle map, able to produce relevant tools according to the battle map’s level. There is also a small chance of dropping rare rewards.

　　Yi Qiu touched his bald head. If he was able to kill that demon-like thing that Bouyagil was summoning, the final reward would be more generous. The chest could even become blue.

　　However, green was barely good enough. If he could get a green quality item, he could just use it for the next offering.

　　Monks were good at this, their fists were their strongest weapon and they didn’t need anything else.

　　Unlike warriors, without weapons, their strength gap was huge. Especially extreme classes like swordsman.

　　Although, with a sword, they could fight back everything, but without one, they would be unable to gain the upper hand in a battle.

　　Although Monks couldn’t wear heavy armor, the training of their bodies and agile dodging made them hard to hit, even while wearing light armor.

　　There was one weakness… Yi Qiu touched his bald head and looked at the girls passing by.

　　His heart didn’t move at all…

　　”Will you open the Small Battle Chest?”

　　”Yes”

　　”You obtained Cowhead Monster Secret Dungeon Summoning Scroll.”

　　After a pale green light, a cow leather scroll appeared in Yi Qiu’s hand:

　　Cowhead Monster Secret Dungeon Summoning Scroll

　　Type: Magic scroll

　　Quality: Green

　　Item Level: 5

　　Description: This is a scroll connected to the Cowhead Monster Secret Dungeon, after use you can enter it for 10 days. At the same time, you can choose to open the entrance in the trading forum and choose to collect some fees based on rule number 628. Integrated Network will collect 5% fees for the amount that you collected.

　　Yi Qiu touched his bald head, a secret dungeon was something he hadn’t came into contact with yet.

　　Based on the Integrated Network newbie infomation, it was a decent place and each one had its own theme.

　　When one killed monsters or completed special quests, they would obtain huge rewards based on the theme.

　　Usually, apart from obtaining summoning scrolls from chests, these secret dungeons would appear on the trading forums at specialized timings.

　　This timing had something to do with the consciousness of the plane that one was in. When the plane reached a special frequency, a secret dungeon might form.

　　The secret dungeon was unstable and would normally disappear after 10 days. The scroll was a secret dungeon which mimicked the plane frequency.

　　Yi Qiu touched his bald head. He didn’t have anything to do, so he was prepared to take a look at the secret dungeon.

　　”Will you activate the Cowhead Monster Secret Dungeon Scroll?”

　　”Yes”

　　…
