Number One Player of Time and Space

Standing on the platform above the spiral staircase, looking at the ants-like crowds of heads below, "Lijie Ayesha" couldn't help but show a slightly surprised look.

"There are so many people today? I don't know if there are enough monsters in the novice area..."

"Novice area?"

The original work of "Di Wrong" focuses on the male and female protagonists and many supporting characters. The description of the structure of the dungeon has always been very vague. Except for the floors with important plot nodes, the rest gives the impression that it is an underground cave with countless branches.

But this is obviously not the case.

"According to the test statistics of the Adventurer's Guild, floors 1 to 12 are suitable areas for newcomers to LV.1. Floors 1 to 5 are due to the narrow terrain and slow generation of monsters. It is difficult to encounter a huge group of monsters. You can It is said to be absolutely safe and can be leveled up even by one person, so it is also called the novice zone.”

Looking away from the 100-meter-long queue in front of the three cave entrances below, "Lijie-Ayesha" gradually frowned.

“The record holder for Orario’s fastest upgrade, Sword Princess Ais, took a year to go from LV.1 to LV.2, so many people who didn’t know why thought that upgrading was a very slow process. "

"In fact, many people don't know that the reason why newcomers upgrade slowly is because there are more people and fewer monsters. If the number of monsters in the novice area is sufficient, the upgrade speed of most newcomers can be increased by at least five times... This situation generally needs to continue. It can only be improved by reaching LV.3.”

"In recent days, due to the war between two countries on the edge of the continent, a large number of defeated troops and refugees fled to Orario. As a result, the number of adventurers in the city increased sharply, almost four to five times, so that many who originally had few members or influence The small family members are also starting to get ready to take action, hoping to take this opportunity to stand up and improve the family's ranking in Orario... It's really adding to the chaos. "

Luo Jie completely understood what "Aisha" was worried about.

To put it simply, it is "involution".

For the same number of monsters, there are five or six times more adventurers, and the corresponding upgrade time will be seriously prolonged.

The upgrade to LV.2 has changed from one year to five years. What about the next LV.3 and LV.4? I'm afraid that races with shorter lifespans will be dragged to death by this slow upgrade.

Moreover, even if the adventurers themselves can endure it, the adventurer guild probably won't be able to endure it - the prolongation of the upgrade time means that there will be a serious level gap in the adventurer group.

When the older generation of high-level adventurers retires and the new generation has not yet grown up, the sudden reduction in the production of high-quality crystals deep in the dungeon will have a very serious impact on Orario and even the economy of the entire continent.

Wait...couldn't the Adventurer's Guild see the potential risks in this? Why do you still allow so many adventurers to enter the dungeon together?

Looking at the black mass of human heads in front of the cave entrance below that could cause an attack of trypophobia, Luo Jie suddenly seemed to realize something.

The Adventurer's Guild is indeed very calculating...

Since too many risk-takers lead to involution, the simplest and least morally risky option is to let the risk-takers eliminate the risk-takers.

This method may not have been possible before, but in a plane war that is set by the system as two hostile countries at war, the Adventurer's Guild does not have to do anything at all. It only needs to put all the adventurers into the dungeon. Then just turn a blind eye to the fight between them.

Until the number of adventurers returns to the normal threshold.

Thinking of this key point, Luo Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He originally thought that the most brutal phase of the plane war would occur after the middle level of the dungeon where the emperor was far away, but he didn't expect that he would get straight to the point at the beginning.

"Ayesha, what is that elevator in the middle for?" Luo Huan pointed towards the deep vertical shaft with steel cables hanging in the center of the underground hall.

The shaft of the elevator is as big as the three surrounding holes combined, and anyone with eyes can hardly ignore its existence.

"That is the elevator that leads directly to the twelfth floor. It is specially used for the expedition of the family members. On the one hand, it can save the time of the expedition. On the other hand, it also avoids the problem of the expedition team indirectly grabbing monsters with newcomers on the upper floor... However, because the elevator is activated Ladders are expensive, and ordinary families prefer to spend more time on foot, so they rarely use them. "

Luo Jie nodded and walked straight down the spiral staircase. "Lijie-Ayesha" followed closely with a big knife in hand, never leaving.

Under the orderly command of the adventurers union personnel, the adventurer team moved forward very quickly.

After waiting in line for about half an hour, Luo Jie and "Aisha" finally entered the entrance to the dungeon following the wave of people.

Speaking of dungeons, the first images that probably pop into most people's minds are dark and cold caves, stone walls covered with bats, swaying torches and the echoing sounds of footsteps.

However, the dungeons of "Di Wrong" are not this dark and weird style at all.

It is as neat and spacious as artificially dug passages, extending in all directions but not messy. The flowing air is fresh and dry, and there is no stuffy or damp musty smell underground.

A kind of luminous plant called "firefly moss" grows on the upper wall of the passage. Clusters are scattered in the cracks of the stones, like stars and candles. Although they are neither bright nor dim, even if they carry a portable magic Even if the stone lamp goes out, you will not be plunged into darkness.

Some places where the "fire moss" grows luxuriantly will even show a kind of golden light beam illuminated by the sunset, which looks very dreamy.

After the adventurers reached the underground level at the bottom of the steps, they broke into pieces and dispersed into many small teams.

The number of people in each team should not exceed three. After all, based on the ratio of humans and monsters in the novice area, any more will affect the efficiency of obtaining "great achievements".

The passages wide enough to drive a small carriage were intertwined like a spider web. After Luo Jie and "Ayesha" turned a few corners, they could hardly see the shadows of other adventurers.

But in my ears I could vaguely hear the sounds of fierce fighting coming from nowhere.

"Aisha" squatted down and looked carefully at the messy footprints and battle traces on the ground. She shook her head at Luo Jie and said, "The monsters in this area have been killed. It will take at least half an hour to refresh again. Let's keep moving forward."

Luo Jie casually closed the Imperial Equipment [World Encyclopedia Longo Longo] in his hand and said: "Judging from the number of adventurers entering the dungeon this time, it is estimated that the first nine floors are full, so we will take the shortest route directly. , Let’s start from the tenth floor.”

"Aisha" had long noticed the strange book in Luo Jie's hand with a big eyeball inlaid on the cover, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She just thought it was some kind of hardcover dungeon map book and looked at Luo Jie. : "Are you sure you want to go directly to the tenth floor? The difficulty there is not comparable to that of the first nine floors. Those who can basically level up alone on the tenth floor are already infinitely close to the LV.2 level, with slightly lower potential. LV.1 adventurers must form a team to enter."

Luo Jie smiled nonchalantly: "Whether it works or not, I have to give it a try before I know. I don't want to waste my time in boredom waiting for monsters to be spawned."

"Aisha"'s narrow beautiful eyes widened slightly, looking him up and down as if she was getting to know Luo Jie again.

"I don't know if it's my misunderstanding, but your current appearance makes me feel much more pleasing to the eye."

Luo Jie smiled and said: "Come on, take a few more looks, and you will find...this is your illusion."

"Aisha" smiled, her girlish smile making it hard to believe that she was actually a "Fighting Lady" belonging to the Ishtar Familia.

"I have dealt with many people from the "Jian Yu Lei" clan, and I always thought that the characters of the Jidong people were so rigid, but you are not at all different from them. "

"Yes, this is also the reason why I didn't go to build the Thunder Familiar Clan. They were too boring."

Although the structure of the underground maze is complex and huge, if you ignore the other paths and go straight to the lower stairs, the distance is not very long.

While on the way, Luo Jie also vaguely noticed that there seemed to be many malicious eyes peering into the darkness of the passage, and even saw a few corpses of players from unknown camps, but because there was "Lijie-Aisha" around him, "The LV.3 senior adventurer followed, and those malicious eyes soon retreated and disappeared into the darkness of the maze.

The book is brief. With the free guidance of many novice adventurers, the two of them arrived at the stairs leading to the tenth floor without any hindrance.

Entering the tenth floor area, the scenery in front of you suddenly changed.

In front of him was no longer a narrow and deep cave passage, but a vast wilderness shrouded in mist.

The leafless trees and grass are as pure white as snow, the gray rocks and low cliffs, and the pure black dome that reflects the bright skylight present a depressing scene that seems to have lost all color. .

"This is the tenth floor?"

Luo Jie curiously looked at the magical scene around him.

If the 1st to 9th floors were still in line with his basic understanding of dungeons, then starting from the 10th floor, it felt like another independent space.

Not scientific, but very otherworldly.

"Compared with the first nine levels, the difficulty of the tenth level will suddenly increase because starting from this level, monsters that can use weapons appear."

As if to verify what "Aisha" said, a fat green figure over two meters tall carrying a wooden stick gradually appeared in the mist in the distance.

"Huh? Captain Phryne?"

"Aisha" didn't expect Luo Jie to say such a sentence suddenly, and she was stunned for a moment and almost laughed.

"This is the Big Goblin, the only kind of monster on the tenth floor... But from a distance, it does look a bit like "Phryne". Go ahead and be careful, I will take action if there is any danger. "

"Oh, Goblin." Luo Jie held a red long knife out of thin air with his left hand, jumped down from the second-story high platform and landed on the dense grass below, with a meaningful smile on his lips, "Don't worry, this I’m familiar with it, I used to have a friend who specialized in this.”

Sensing Luo Jie's appearance, the green-skinned goblin suddenly accelerated and rushed towards him. His fat body weighing hundreds of kilograms was not clumsy at all, and his movements were even faster than those of ordinary legal adventurers.

The big wooden stick as thick as the mouth of a bowl was swung randomly, making a whirring sound through the air, without any rules but fiercely.

Although Luo Jie's attributes have dropped significantly, his combat experience has not been compromised at all. He easily avoided the flawless attack and pulled out a blood-red sword like lightning.

——"Secret Sword: Obsidian Sword"!

The eldest brother Blin's eyes were bloodshot. He covered his neck with his hands and staggered forward for a few steps. His fat body seemed to be frozen in place.

Click.

The crimson long sword was sheathed, and the ugly head of Goblin slowly rolled down. Before it hit the ground, it turned into black mist and dissipated together with his body.

Only a dark purple crystal the size of half a finger was left rolling down in the grass.

"Huh? That's good. At least when I was at LV.1, I wasn't as efficient at killing Big Goblin alone as you were. Your B-level potential is strength, right?"

"Aisha" had already carried the Dapu knife, but she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw Luo Jie kill the big brother Blin with one blow without any damage.

Amazons have this kind of straightforward character. Even if they don't like a person, they will still recognize the other person's strength.

Luo Jie smiled noncommittally, put his right hand on the handle of the knife again, and his eyes fell on several big goblins that were walking out of the white mist.

…

In this way, Luo Jie stayed on the tenth floor for a whole day. It wasn't until "Aisha", who acted as a temporary supporter, that her luggage could no longer hold the fallen magic crystals, that she turned around and returned to the ground.

Exchange magic crystals for mana at the Adventurer's Guild, UU Readingｗww. uukanshu.net Luo Jie counted out half of them and handed them to "Aisha".

"Aisha" frowned and said: "What are you doing? Do you think that my LV.3 will be short of your LV.1? Protecting you is the task entrusted to me by Lady Ishtar, and it is not necessary. Your extra reward.”

Luo Jie didn't explain anything, just held up the money bag and showed her a friendly smile.

"Okay, you insisted on giving it to me. Don't expect me to accept any favors from you... It's really troublesome." "Aisha" grabbed the money bag and hung it on her waist, curling her lips in disdain.

Luo Jie's move was actually a test. If the other party didn't regard him as a friend, he would never accept the money.

Although "Aisha" is just an ordinary combatant, her prestige among the members of the Ishtar Familia is very high. She can be called the de facto deputy leader. She is also kind-hearted, cold-faced and warm-hearted. A good relationship never suffers.

"Night Dire, do you want to return to your family now?"

"Well, I plan to meet a few old friends." Luo Jie apologized, "Ayesha, although I know this may make you embarrassed, can you give me some private space?"

Personal protection is safe, but personal matters will also be subject to certain restrictions. Many of the player's discussions are not convenient for the indigenous NPCs to hear.

"Aisha" was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then go to the 'Hostress of Plenty'. That is the safest tavern in Orario. I will wait for you outside." "

"Well, thank you very much."
