Chapter 735 Is This Actually an RPG Game?
After handing the map of the 1st to 12th floors of the dungeon and the monster information to Lyu, the middle-aged merchant looked at Lyu carefully and asked: "I don't know what kind of adventurers these are, but they all look pretty good." Strange.
Especially this lady from the Elf tribe. A high-level adventurer like you should be very famous in Orario. I have never seen you before. "
The middle-aged merchant was really curious about the identities of Wood and his friends.
No, it should be said that the person he was curious about was Lyu, who was an elf, because the number of elves in Orario was not large, and there were even fewer high-level adventurers.
Needless to say, especially one with such a terrifying aura as Ru Liu, who seemed to have a lot of human lives on his hands.
"I advise you not to ask too many questions, and who I am has nothing to do with you."
As Lyu spoke, he also put his hood back on to cover his elf ears.
In fact, before Wood and the others arrived, many people had already come forward to chat with her.
On the one hand, Lyu's extremely exquisite appearance was on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also because the adventurers of the elves were quite rare and powerful in Orario.
As a race with a high affinity to nature and elements, almost all elven adventurers can master magic. It's just a matter of the number and the size of the magic.
Magic is a rather rare ability among adventurers. If there is a magic user in the team, the team's strength and safety will undoubtedly be higher.
Lyu didn't know where the Hestia family's stronghold was before, so in order to find Wood, he had to wait at the entrance of the dungeon first.
Because of this, she was approached by many people who wanted to form a team with her, which made her somewhat unprepared.
And when she was waiting, she suddenly heard Wood's voice and saw that a profiteer was trying to deceive her ignorant "brother". Naturally, Liu couldn't help but take action directly. This is what Wood and the others saw just now. One scene.
After throwing the map and monster information in his hand to Wood, Lyu patiently said to Wood: "The upper-level maps and monster information such as the 1-12th floor of the dungeon are not available at all due to common reasons. valuable.
Although the map he gave was indeed detailed, it could only be sold for 2,000 mana at most.
The lower the level, the more expensive the map will be, and the map will become rougher.
At present, the highest level that Orario has conquered should be the 48th floor. There are only a handful of dependents who can reach below the 37th floor of the dungeon in Orario, so maps below the 37th floor are rarely sold. "
After hearing what Liu said, Bell on the side gave full play to his characteristics as an adventurer and asked directly: "Why? The deeper the map, the more expensive it can be sold, right?"
As for Bell's question, before Lyu spoke to the middle-aged vendor on the side, Wood had already replied: "Of course it's because the value of the information is not equal to the actual value.
Today's dungeon output maintains the operation of the entire Orario. In other words, the dungeon is like a huge treasure house. Although there are dangers hidden in it, adventurers can continuously withdraw wealth from it.
Opening up an unknown underground city requires huge manpower and material resources. After all, the person who crosses the river by feeling the stones for the first time is completely different from the person who later possesses information.
Those dependents who have conquered the depths and finally spent a lot of manpower and material resources to obtain information, how could they disclose the information just because of the mere existing interests.
There may be maps below the 37th floor in the future, but that will have to wait until a sufficient number of dependents are developed there before a large amount of map information will flow out, just like these upper and middle-level maps now. "
After listening to Wood's analysis, Bell also showed an expression of sudden realization. As for Liu and the middle-aged merchant, they looked at Wood with expressions of surprise. It seemed that they did not expect that Wood, a newcomer, would actually know the rules of the dungeon. So thorough.
"Uncle, don't worry about what you tried to deceive us before. In addition to the map of the upper level of the dungeon, I also want the maps of the middle and lower levels. How much does it cost?"
After finally making a trip to the dungeon, Wood's goal cannot be just the upper level. Now that someone like Liu, who knows the market, is here, Wood wants to buy the maps for the middle and lower levels as well.
"Wood, you are still a new adventurer. The map on the upper level of the dungeon is enough for you to use for a long time. Why do you need to buy the middle and lower levels?"
Hearing that Wood wanted to buy a deeper map, Liu also looked wary at the moment. What she and others in the store were worried about was mainly that Wood was young and impulsive.
"Sister Liu, you misunderstood. Am I not a newbie? I was almost deceived just now, so I wanted to buy the map at the right price while you were here.
Anyway, for adventurers, dungeon maps are a necessary item, right, so I bought the map first, so there's nothing wrong with it. "
Wood's explanation barely gained Liu's approval, and then he looked at the map on the vendor's stall and said, "In that case, just buy the middle-level map. The price is about 15,000 manali.
As for the map on the lower floor, if you go to the safe floor to buy it, the map should be more detailed and the price will be more favorable.
And in addition to the map, you'd better buy some recovery medicine. After all, for newcomers, even upper-level adventurers may encounter danger. "
As a senior adventurer, Lyu gave quite pertinent advice, and Wood was also quite obedient and followed his advice.
There was no way, even if he wanted to buy more things, he simply didn't have the energy at the moment. After all, he didn't expect that the middle-level maps were so much more expensive than the upper-level maps.
Just one map would cost 15,000 mana. Even if he wanted to buy the map of the lower level of the dungeon, he simply wouldn't have the money to do so.
After buying the map and some necessary supplies, such as glowing stones, recovery potions, etc., Wood and Bell also entered Orario's dungeon under the leadership of Lyu.
The origin of the dungeon is extremely mysterious. It seems to have existed before the gods' lower realm. No one knows where it came from, and no one knows how many floors the dungeon has.
But after so many years of exploration by Orario adventurers, they also have a certain understanding of the dungeon.
Orario's dungeon is known as one of the three most secret places in the world, and is the source of ferocious monsters scattered throughout the continent.
In the dungeon, the environment is complex and changeable, containing countless terrifying monsters. The deeper the level, the more terrifying and unknown the monsters are.
And the floor area becomes larger as you go down. It is said that the fifth floor is already as wide as the central square, and by the 40th floor, its area is equivalent to the entire Orario City.
In an era when the gods have not yet come and humans have not received favors, monsters from the underground city can invade the ground unscrupulously.
The monsters that invaded the ground multiplied and multiplied on the ground after leaving the dungeon, and gave birth to offspring, leaving monsters everywhere in the world except the dungeon.
Even until now, the monsters that invaded the ground have not been eliminated.
After the gods descended, in order to prevent monsters from escaping, the people of Orario built a skyscraper tower called the Tower of Babel at the entrance to the dungeon, which served as a cover to prevent monsters from invading the ground.
Later, Uranus, the god who founded the Adventurer's Guild, offered a prayer at the altar underneath the guild headquarters.
The functions of God's Prayer include: suppressing monsters in dungeons and preventing monster riots.
Limit the activity range of monsters so that they cannot leave their level. This is also the reason why monsters cannot invade the ground as frequently as in "ancient times".
The first floor of the dungeon is only a small square of several thousand square meters, and the monster that appears here is the slime, which is known as the "weakest monster".
Jelly-like body, movement speed: average, attack ability: average, threat level: minimum.
Looking at the slime who kept hitting his ankles with his soft elastic body, Wood was even a little dumbfounded. This was completely different from the dungeon he imagined!
This jelly can be considered a monster. Is this just for fun and cuteness?
Looking at the jelly that kept hitting his feet, Wood looked at the long knife in his hand and didn't know what to do.
There was nothing he could do. The so-called monster was so incompetent that he couldn't bear to do it.
Because he was really impatient with Jelly Chi's relentless attack, Wood originally wanted to kick the opponent away with a little force, but who knew that such a kick would actually kill the opponent...
The slime that was kicked away by Wood turned into pieces in the air, and a magic stone the size of a pinky finger with very mottled magic power also fell from the air.
Lyu on the side reached out to pick up the magic stones on the ground, looked at Wood and Belkop and said: "This is the so-called dropped item. Monsters in the dungeon will drop such magic stones after they die.
The higher the level and the stronger the monster, the larger the magic stone dropped when it dies, and the more pure the magic power contained in it will be.
If you are lucky, some monsters will not only drop magic stones, but also some other materials that can be used to make equipment.
A magic stone of this quality can be purchased at the Adventurer's Guild for about 100 mana. "
And just as Lyu was holding the magic stone and speaking, a slime suddenly emerged from the rock wall on the side and pounced on her.
However, it was a pity that the fighting power of the two sides was not equal at all. Lyu just slashed with his sword, and the jelly was immediately torn into two halves in the air. A magic stone about the same size as his hand also fell from the air.
"Monsters in the dungeon are also regenerable, and the regeneration time is related to the strength of the monster. The stronger the monster, the longer the regeneration time.
It is unknown why monsters regenerate and why dungeons breed monsters again. "
After listening to Liu's description, Wood also showed a look of surprise. He suddenly felt that this world was a bit similar to a large-scale RPG game.
Adventurers receive favors from gods to acquire skills, and then enter dungeons to defeat monsters to upgrade. The monsters will be refreshed, and there are also drops and reward mechanisms. Isn’t this a game setting?
"Sister Liu, can we go to a deeper floor? The monsters here are really..."
Looking at the slimes all over the ground, Wood really didn't know what to do. He thought that since Wood started the world life simulation, not to mention being an arrogant existence in every world, he was at least a top-notch existence.
Unexpectedly, after coming to this world, he would actually be reduced to bullying slimes.
"For new adventurers, the first floor of the dungeon is a good place to adapt to the environment and the rhythm of the battle, so I think you should stay a little longer.
Although slimes do not have strong attacks, they are weak, so their regeneration time is quite short.
In addition, because the first floor is not large, there are always a large number of slimes gathered here, so many new adventurers use this floor as a training ground to adapt to the dungeon."
Through Liu's reminder, Wood also realized that there were not only a few of them on this floor, but also other teams killing slimes like them.
And the configuration was similar to theirs. There was a senior adventurer in the team, who was instructing several rookies in the team on how to deal with the slime's attack.
Although the slime was weak, Wood realized that he seemed to be the only newcomer who could easily deal with the slime.
Not to mention, Bell beside him was confused by several slimes at the moment.
Although the attack power of this thing was not strong, it was like being hit by a basketball when it was hit hard.
And when there were enough of them, Bell, who had no combat experience, could only take care of the front, but not the back, and was soon wounded.
"Sister Liu, how about we make a deal? You teach Bell some combat skills here, and I will go to the lower floor first. Is that okay?
Don't worry, I will only be active on the upper floor, and will never go to the middle floor or below. Slimes are too much for me..."
For Wood's suggestion, Liu naturally wanted to refuse. The main reason why she came to the dungeon was to protect Wood, and she would not let Wood leave her sight at the moment.
Seeing Liu's frown, Wood also knew that if he didn't show some strength, he would really be regarded as a gigolo.
"Sister Liu, you know, I have been secretly training before. Not only did I master some swordsmanship, but I also learned this after accepting the favor of Goddess Hestia."
As Wood spoke, he slowly stretched his hand forward, and then a blue magic circle appeared in front of him, and the next second a cold wind blew out.
"Intermediate Ice Magic - Small Cold Wave!"
The cold wind blew in front of Wood, and the jelly slimes on the ground were instantly cut into ice balls, and then shattered in the wind.
There was no way, this was already Wood's weakest magic. Even though he had used the strength of a "newcomer", at this moment, looking at the dozens of slimes that turned into ice sculptures in an instant, Liu looked at him with a little surprise.
