Alien Relic Hunter

"Excluding the underwater city where the exploration progress has been temporarily stranded and hunters are currently restricted from visiting, there are now a total of 17 ruins rated S. After excluding the three super ruins that once climbed to the SS level, the remaining ruins can We only selected 14."

None of the known S-class ruins has an exploration level of more than 50%, so this restriction can be completely ignored. The only thing that needs attention is the value of the trophies. According to the standards given by the hunting group office, the minimum threshold is Reaching a total of 40 million credit points - generally speaking, as long as it is an Alpha civilization technology product with technology related to popular topics in the institute, it is basically worth this price. If some new technology can be discovered, the valuation will be One billion is easy.

"Is this place like this? Ruins S-011, the 'Suspended City of Devar', has an exploration level of 29.8%, a comprehensive survival rate of 44.76%, and an average return rate of 29.983 million. Although the return is a bit low, at least the survival rate is among the ten It is the highest among the four S-class ruins. As long as we can find some good things and exceed this average rate of return, the mission will be completed." Layton pointed to an item in the ruins list and said.

"Literal data cannot explain the problem." Ke Lan shook his head and voted against Layton's proposal, "I have made plans for this floating city before, and also spent money to purchase relevant information from certain channels - —This ruins should be a high-end residential area of ​​the Alpha civilization. It is suspended 860 meters above the Hazam Plateau by an anti-gravity device. The highest proportion of trophies unearthed are the daily necessities of the Alpha people, followed by The structural components of the suspended city itself and the gravity technology related to it have almost been figured out by the research institute, and the value of both is not very high."

Ke Lan continued: "Furthermore, the relatively safe outer city has been plundered by major hunting groups. If you really want to gain something, you have to go deeper into the city. However, due to the damage to the core anti-gravity device, the center of Derval The city is split into hundreds of independent suspended blocks. These suspended blocks are shrouded in countless chaotic gravity fields that are invisible to the naked eye. Moreover, these gravity fields will change at any time. If you make the slightest mistake, you may be destroyed. Tear into pieces or crush into paste..."

Ke Lan pointed at the data in Leighton's hand and said: "Leighton, you can look through the detailed exploration records of the S-011 ruins, and you will find that these data have not changed for several years, because these days In the past few years, no hunter has been willing to go to that place, because the safe place is no longer profitable, and going inside is even more dangerous than other S-class ruins."

"Really... the last exploration record was 37 months ago. The explorers were the 'Pathfinder Hunting Group' under the 'Morgan Consortium'. There were zero casualties, but the income was only a pitiful 12 million yuan... ..." Layton scratched his head in embarrassment.

"The reason why the S-011 ruins, 'The Floating City of Devar', is rated as an S-level ruin is simply because no one has ever been able to step into the central city alive. The actual exploration value is only an A-level." Hound commented. He said, "I feel like there are many richer people than this even in the A-level ruins."

"What about this?" Layton immediately found the second target, "S-005 ruins, 'Forest of Gray Defeat', with an exploration level of 39%, a comprehensive survival rate of 40.95%, and an average yield of 45 million..."

Before Leighton finished speaking, Zhuoligetu interrupted him directly: "I have been to the Forest of Ashes with several large hunting groups. The only thing that can be exchanged for money there are biological samples of mutated tree monsters, and The more valuable the sample, the stronger the tree monster. Those big hunting groups directly ran over them with mechas equipped with heavy weapons... I remember that the most valuable sample in that harvest was sold for more than 30 million, and the source was a tree. The tree monster covers an area of ​​several acres. Even though the large hunting groups were fully prepared, they still lost more than half of the mechas. And the hunters like me who were temporarily hired to assist, the casualty rate was almost one-third... Explore that The place depends on the number of people. If there are few people, we won’t be able to go very far without being swallowed up by this man-eating forest.”

"I don't like that place either," added the Hound. "The trees there all look like ghosts, and you can't tell which one is real and which one is about to attack suddenly." Weird...the most annoying thing is that those trees are not afraid of fire and cannot be lit."

"If these two fail...then the overall survival rate of the remaining S-class ruins will be less than 40%, and just looking at the descriptions and casualties recorded in previous explorations, you can tell that it is a lot of hard work. Compared with this Two ruins are still difficult to deal with... Huh?" Leiton suddenly let out a cry of surprise, attracting everyone's attention.

"What's the matter? What's all the fuss about?" The hound rolled his eyes at him and asked.

"S...S-class ruins, there is one more?" Layton stuttered, "There are too many big things happening recently, and even such big news has been suppressed!"

"The 18th S-class ruins have appeared? Has it been confirmed? Could it be an error made by the 'bricks' at the rating committee?" Hound grabbed the tablet from Layton's hand with some disbelief. At a glance, he spotted an extra line of information at the end of the list - "Ruin No. S-018, 'Bottomless Sink'."

There is no word "tentative" in front of the number, which means that the ruins named "Bottomless Tiankeng" are indeed the eighteenth S-class ruins.

"Good guy, when did this ruins appear?" Hound couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. For such newly discovered S-class ruins, the casualty rate during the early exploration process was undoubtedly extremely high, but from another perspective From one perspective, this period is also one of the peaks of yields - the relic yield curve is generally like this: it is highest when it is first discovered, and then as the exploration rate gradually increases, the yield drops all the way, and when it reaches the core area After being breached by hunters, the exploration yield will reach a second peak due to the high-value loot in the core area.

For newly discovered ruins like this, Ke Lan and the others do not need to go into the dangerous depths of the ruins at all. They only need to explore the outer areas, which is enough to accumulate trophies worth 40 million credits.

"I think this is good, I can study it." Ivan said.

But when the hound clicked on the detailed information of this ruins, several people around the table were immediately stunned.

This bottomless sinkhole numbered "S-018" is exactly the twin ruins exposed after the collapse of the "A-087" glacier ruins they explored!
