"Hide."

The Lost Princess!
A hidden dungeon in the Novice Village!
At this stage, most of the first batch of players who entered the game had already headed to the main city. Thus, this level-eight dungeon did not attract much attention. Nor did anyone think that such a small level-eight dungeon could yield anything valuable.
Stone Peak City.
Futu Shield Mountain opened his friend list. He had been keeping an eye on Lin Tianhao. Lin Tianhao had been at level ten for quite some time now. Given Lin Tianhao's capabilities, it was odd that he hadn't levelled up in such a long time. The most likely scenario was that... Lin Tianhao hadn't left the Novice Village.
He wanted to ask Lin Tianhao what was going on, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to do it. Not only he, but also other clubs that were monitoring Lin Tianhao, also noticed this issue. Lin Tianhao was still in the Novice Village!
"Could it be that something offline has delayed his game progress?"
"Pity. He has a good talent, but with such a long delay, even if he wants to catch up later, he will only be an upper-middle player at best."
Zhumeng Yanxue shook her head in disappointment after seeing the report about Lin Tianhao from her subordinates. Level ten and still not leaving the Novice Village, it was most likely that something offline had delayed him. Not just Zhumeng Yanxue, but most clubs that were paying attention to Lin Tianhao thought the same way.
After all, Lin Tianhao's talent and attributes were readily apparent to all. If it weren't for something offline delaying him, there was no way to explain the current situation. Little did they know that Lin Tianhao wasn't delayed by anything offline. He was currently undertaking a very terrifying storyline quest. If completed, this storyline quest would change the dynamics of the Novice Village.
"Ding, first run reward settlement in progress."
"Ding, you have obtained 31 skill books."
"Ding, you have obtained 42 pieces of equipment."
"Ding, you have obtained +120 gold coins."
"Ding, you have obtained +20 free attribute points."
"Ding, you have obtained +1 Iceflame Ore."
...
Just as Lin Tianhao had expected, a smile appeared on his face. The second Iceflame Ore was finally in his possession. As Lin Tianhao was checking the rewards, something unexpected happened in front of him. The ice attribute power within the Iceflame Zombie King's body began to separate. Eventually, this ice attribute power descended upon the mummy inside the crystal coffin. After the mummy in the crystal coffin received the ice attribute power, its body began to recover rapidly.
Lin Tianhao frowned. Could there be a hidden boss in this hidden dungeon? A secret boss refers to a new boss that appears after the dungeon is cleared due to certain special reasons. In this situation, he could choose to leave the dungeon directly, as he had already received the rewards for clearing it. However, Lin Tianhao was bold and skilful, and he wanted to see what this hidden boss was.
"Bang!"
A loud explosion and the crystal coffin shattered. A woman with fair skin, delicate features, and silver-white hair appeared in front of him. Lin Tianhao's gaze fell upon this woman.
Princess Leona: ?????
Health: ?????
Attack: ?????
Skills: ?????
Lin Tianhao's expression changed. This woman was all question marks. Moreover, in Twilight of the Gods, those with titles like princess, prince, or general were generally not to be trifled with.
"Adventurer, was it you who saved me?" Lin Tianhao nodded subconsciously, "Sort of." Upon hearing this, Princess Leona's face remained extremely calm. She looked at Lin Tianhao for a moment and said, "You saved me. I can give you two things, but you can only take one of them."
Lin Tianhao's eyes lit up. Was this triggering a hidden reward?
"This is the first thing. You can become a viscount of our Starry Kingdom and obtain a piece of land that belongs to you." Lin Tianhao gasped. A viscount? In the early game, it was almost impossible to have something like a lord's heart. Moreover, Princess Leona had mentioned a viscount's status, which meant nobility! Having a noble status in the kingdom would bring him many benefits.
However, Lin Tianhao suppressed his excitement and asked, "What's the second thing?" Leona took out a light blue amulet. "This is an artefact passed down from the Divine Meteor era, which can grant the wearer an eighty per cent immunity to control attributes."
Lin Tianhao's eyes brightened again. An eighty per cent immunity to control attributes was already very powerful.
"What's your choice?" Lin Tianhao hesitated for a moment before choosing the amulet. "I'll take the amulet." Based on his past life experience, obtaining a lord's heart and establishing a territory was not difficult. A viscount was just the second-to-last rank in the nobility. Moreover, the Starry Kingdom was decent in the early game, but it wouldn't be enough in the mid-to-late game. But this amulet was amazing. An eighty per cent immunity to control attributes was powerful, no matter what stage of the game it was in.
Princess Leona looked at Lin Tianhao in surprise, seemingly not expecting him to choose a piece of equipment. "Does our kingdom's viscount and land not compare to a piece of equipment?" Lin Tianhao shook his head, "It's not that the viscount is bad, nor that the land is bad, nor that your Starry Kingdom is bad. It's just that, as the saying goes, 'to each his own.'"
Princess Leona smiled helplessly and handed the amulet to Lin Tianhao.
Purification Amulet: Special Equipment.
Wearing requirements: Can only be worn by the active giver, cannot be dropped, cannot be taken, and cannot be worn by others unless actively given.
Effect: Immune to eighty per cent of control, knockback, slow, curse, poison, burn, freeze, paralysis, and other negative buffs.
Durability: 100.
A satisfied smile appeared on Lin Tianhao's face. This effect was truly powerful. Even in the era of the great catastrophe, this attribute could be described as explosive. Wearing the Purification Amulet, Lin Tianhao felt much better. This was truly a pleasant surprise.
Next was to check the equipment and skill books. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could equip or use. The only useful things were the free attribute points and the Iceflame Ore. However, according to the old drunkard, there should be three Iceflame Ores here, and only one had appeared so far. That meant there was still one more.
Leaving the dungeon, Lin Tianhao entered it again. But something unexpected happened this time. The dungeon no longer had a hellish difficulty level.
"Because I rescued Princess Leona, the hellish difficulty is gone?"Chapter 32: Princess Leona: The Purification Amulet!
