Chapter 59: Advancement
Zhou Chen did not answer them. He quickened his pace.
After a while, he saw a blade pit more than ten meters long ahead of him. There was a steel chain connecting the two sides of the pit.
Zhou Chen’s agility was high, and his balance was very good. After using the spear to test the steel chain’s strength, he ran over. The thin young man and the muscular young man behind him were not so decisive.
The thin youth stood up and tried, but the muscular youth could only glare from the side. Perhaps he was not agile and did not have the confidence to cross this pit.
Zhou Chen had already reached the other side. He increased his speed and disappeared around the corner.
He was delighted to be rid of the extras, but this feeling did not last long. He encountered two more people in front of him.
They were two men. One was a chubby middle-aged man, and the other was a thin and tall young man.
The two of them were in a confrontation and were cursing each other.
“I found this box first! Don’t have any thoughts on it!”
“You found it first just because you say so? It was clearly me who found it first!”
“Why are you so unreasonable? You have to follow rules in Survival missions as well!”
“Rules your ass! If you continue sprouting crap, I’ll murder you!”
The cursing between the two was growing more and more intense, but soon, they noticed Zhou Chen who was walking over. They immediately turned to Zhou Chen and faced the outsider together.
“Don’t come over! This box is mine!”
“If you know what’s good for you, stay far away!”
Zhou Chen did not stop. He walked closer to them and ignored their hostility to look at the treasure chest in the small room.
There were no other monsters or items in the room, only a wooden chest that was not small. It did look a little tempting.
“I told you not to come over, but you still came over! Do you have a death wish?!”
The thin and tall young man immediately shouted angrily when he saw Zhou Chen forcefully come over to observe the treasure chest. He immediately attacked Zhou Chen’s head with his iron rod.
Zhou Chen’s expression was calm, but his movements were not slow. He raised the spear and pushed the thin and tall young man’s rod to the side. Then, using the advantage of the weapon’s length, he swung the spear towards the thin young man, sending the latter flying towards the treasure chest.
The thin and tall young man’s butt was the first to come into contact with the treasure chest, almost knocking it over. However, he quickly stood up and shouted with anger on his face.
“If I don’t kill you… Ah!”
The thin and tall young man seemed to want to say that he would kill Zhou Chen, but before he could finish speaking, it turned to a cry because the treasure chest behind him opened the lid and bit his bottom.
“As expected, such an obvious trap…”
Zhou Chen rubbed his chin and sighed.
The chubby middle-aged man opposite him immediately turned and left after realizing that the treasure chest was a monster.
“Ah! Help!”
The thin and tall young man continued screaming. His butt was viciously bitten by the Mimic, and there was the sound of bones breaking. Even though he tried his best to struggle free, it was not working.
“You can forget about being saved, but I can spare you from the pain.”
Zhou Chen knew at a glance that this person would be crippled even if he was saved. Of course, it was impossible for him to save him.
He pierced the young man’s throat with his spear, giving the latter an instant death.
Zhou Chen walked forward and threw the man’s iron rod into his inventory before picking up a scroll-like item.
“A scroll dropped?”
He was surprised. Normally, the Survivors would immediately use any scrolls they get.
He opened the scroll and knew the reason.
[Identification Scroll
Type: Low bronze scroll
Identify the effect of a bronze item.]
“So it had this effect. He probably obtained it in this dungeon.”
While thinking, Zhou Chen took out his ax and hacked at the Mimic that was rushing at him.
His ax directly split the Mimic. After two more swings, the Mimic died.
“It was killed so quickly this time? Looks like the earlier physique upgrade was effective.”
Zhou Chen had fought the Mimic not long ago. At that time, he had not been so fast. He opened his character interface to check.

Comprehensive Evaluation: Mid Bronze]
This was amazing. He realized that apart from the increase of 0.2 in his physique, his overall evaluation had also become mid bronze!
“I have unknowingly reached mid bronze… Could the standard for mid bronze be that the physique needs to exceed 2 points, or can it be any attributes?”
Zhou Chen guessed.
“But if that’s the case, won’t those who have attribute+1 talent at the start directly become middle bronze? It doesn’t feel like it’s possible.”
Zhou Chen had searched the forum regarding the comprehensive evaluation. There were various opinions, and most of them were nonsense, while the veterans did not leave any convincing answers.
“Maybe it really depends on the overall details. Forget it, I’ve advanced to middle bronze. This is a good improvement.”
While thinking, Zhou Chen returned the ax to his inventory and took out the spear.
He continued walking down the passage, marking the way. After making a few turns, he arrived at the door of a dimly lit room.
The light in the room was actually on. The reason the lighting was poor was that there were weeds more than two meters tall inside the room, making the light look very strange.
“Such long grass, there must be monsters hiding inside.”
Zhou Chen felt that with the system’s behavior, it was impossible to not install a few monsters to ambush them.
“Help…”
Just as he was thinking about whether to go in and check, a young woman’s cry for help came from the room.
“Hehe, the monsters here can deceive people.”
Zhou Chen immediately guessed that the monster was luring him.
“Let me see your true appearance.”
He thought disdainfully.
The cries for help in the room continued. Just as Zhou Chen was about to step in, he suddenly felt a chill from the Frost Necklace on his neck, clearing his mind.
“No, I was still bewitched by this thing. I was about to make a rash decision!”
Zhou Chen immediately reacted and realized that there was something wrong with him just now.
