Tokyo underground city

Chapter 262 Kanda River Ronin

Lin Huai'en himself has nothing to mention.

In the last fifteen years of his level, he hasn't gotten any new skills that satisfy him.

Starting from [Elemental Cutoff], at levels 45 and 50, you gain [Drawing Sword Technique] and [Detection Vision] respectively.

[Sword Drawing Technique] makes up for the lack of some of his functional skills, while [Detection of Vision] can be regarded as a "psionic extension" skill.

Combined with [Enhanced Perception] and [External Brain], it can process threat information within 25 meters around you, even if it is blocked by other objects.

In Lin Huai'en's view, the skill [Visual Detection] is equivalent to a "mental version of radar."

"These three skills are easy to use... but they are not what I need most right now..."

Lin Huaien sighed and counted on his fingers.

What he needs most right now is to awaken his "psionic talent" and obtain [Cursed Blood] and [Cursed Heart].

Now that his [Cursed Body] has been upgraded to level 5.0, and with the experience of fighting Sigel during the Brave Festival, he has a better understanding of this core skill of his.

A complete [Cursed Body] should be a "rainbow level" physical skill.

And obtaining [Cursed Blood] and [Cursed Heart] is the next step for him.

"But whether it's spiritual energy or a cursed body... I don't have a clue right now..."

Lin Huai'en looked at the [Punishing Grip] on the back of his left hand and couldn't help but sigh.

He has no clue about many of his core skills, which is also the reason why he lacks motivation to upgrade recently.

He had considered asking other people, such as the mummy swordsman, the mysterious voice in the curse element system, and even Elsadova and Vaskov. Basically, he asked everyone he could.

But almost everyone’s answer to him was—

"Don't think too much, just continue to level up, raise all your attribute values ​​to the limits of shallow dungeons, and you will slowly understand how to improve yourself..."

"Of course, in addition to this, it is also important to have more contact with other people and see how other people do it." The mummy swordsman reminded him one more thing.

Minister Xiao’s proposal is——

"I think you can consider studying abroad."

"The domestic underground city industry is still in its infancy and cannot be compared with those foreign chaebols that have been developed for decades."

"And we are still 'controllers', and our research and use of dungeon technology are much more conservative than the 'indulgentist' plutocrats."

Thinking of this, Lin Huaien subconsciously looked at the stairs in the distance.

Through here, they will reach the 17th floor of the Poison Garden.

It is also from this level that they will meet explorers from other countries.

.

"Brother Jie Ren, have you ever considered what you are going to do after you get this money?"

Saito Hema looked at his companions and couldn't help but ask.

"What else can you do? Find a wife, get married properly, and stay away from these messy things in the future."

Ishikawa Kaito looked at his companions and said angrily.

"Eh... I thought that a handsome guy as capable as you would have loftier ideals."

Hema chuckled and touched his monk's head.

He was only 19 years old, not long after graduating from high school, and he was also the youngest among them all.

Since he has never even gone to college, it is natural to know that he is a fool.

But fools also have the advantage of being fools. As long as you show them a little favor, they will work wholeheartedly for you.

In addition, Idiot's physical strength is generally very good. Hema was a member of the baseball club in high school, played five bats, and reached the semi-finals of the county competition.

When it comes to the fifth bat in a baseball game, the first thing Ishikawa Kaito thinks of is a fat man with big and thick muscles.

But after actually meeting Saito Kaima in person, he realized that Kaoma was not only not fat at all, but just like his name, his body was all muscled and his neck was as thick as an ordinary person's thigh.

Only the brain is an orthodox "baseball red deer"——

He was immediately hired by the "Kandagawa Ronin" office where Kaito worked.

Ishikawa Kaito was thinking, waving his sword and splitting the grass in front of him piece by piece.

There are various poisonous plants everywhere in the Poison Garden. However, as soon as he raised his katana, he was stopped by a companion beside him: "Wait a minute..."

"Chun-san...what's wrong?"

Ishikawa Kaito hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the masked woman who was a head shorter than him.

Is it called "nengmian"?

Ishikawa Kaito was thinking in his heart and looked at the person in front of him.

He is not good at traditional culture, and what he hates most are Showa antiques like his father.

However, although the female explorer in front of him wore a weird evil ghost mask, she was wearing young clothes just like him, and she was a slim girl explorer.

"This plant cannot be touched, otherwise it will become swollen and turn into a pig's head like the explorers we met before."

The ghost-faced girl raised her head, glanced at Ishikawa Kaito, then swung her naginata, slashed open a large tree, and walked towards the grass next to the purple vines——

"Let's go this way."

"Pretend to be a ghost..."

Ishikawa Kaito heard Saito Kaima mutter quietly behind him.

However, Ishikawa shook his head. He did feel that the girl named "Misaka Tsubaki" was a bit weird, but after all, she was the "ace" given to him by the client. In other words, in the client's view, "Kanda River" Whether "Ronin" can hunt the [Colorful Deer], the most important thing is not the fighting power of him and Saito Kaima, but the girl named "Misaka Tsubaki".

.

"According to Minister Shino, the explorers targeting the [Colorful Deer] this time are mainly members of the Tokyo Underground Association, as well as a small number of South Americans and Southeast Asians."

“It’s nice not to have guys from the Big Five.”

Before entering the [maze area], Lin Huai'en confirmed the situation with the other two people.

"So, apart from the various native monsters in the maze, the biggest threat is the explorers from Tokyo Underground..."

Yuan Yumu looked at the map provided to them by Minister Xiao and nodded slightly.

"Yes, although explorers from other countries are also elites, they are not strong enough and usually take care of them. However, the explorers of the Tokyo Prefectural Association are different. If they encounter those explorers who belong to the 'Yakuza Society' , they will pounce on us regardless."

As Lin Huai'en spoke, he used a lighter to completely ignite the map of the Poison Garden——

This is to prevent the map from falling into the hands of "locusts".

However, the paths inside the garden maze will change as the plants grow, so even with Minister Xiao's map, it would be difficult for them to find the [Colorful Deer] based on the map they explored three months ago.

"However, our first mission is not to hunt the [Colorful Deer], but to thwart explorers from other countries as much as possible."

Lin Huai'en looked at the others and nodded: "It is related to the Shangcheng City Association's ability to control Changying Underground City. If it is succeeded by the explorers of the Tokyo Underground City Association, it is likely to be publicized by them."

"By then, the pressure faced by Shangdu City Land Association will probably not be limited to just two or three kittens like now."

"Testing it..." Yuan Ximu nodded: "So besides us, there are other teams involved?"

"Yes, there are more than twenty captains willing to accept Minister Xiao's invitation."

Lin Huaien nodded. As a quasi-national explorer, he could get a lot more information from Minister Xiao than other captains——

"If you want to become a qualified national-level explorer, you must have outstanding personality charm, strong personal ability, and the ability to decide whether to win or lose."

Lin Huai'en recalled the tips given to him by Minister Xiao, moved his wrists, and stood up: "Okay, the first thing we have to do is to pass through the outer layer of the 'Hedge Maze' before February 30th. Wall] and reach the middle level of the maze."

"At the [Wall of Lachesis], there are several other explorer teams invited by Minister Xiao waiting for us."

If you can't even pass [Crosso's Wall], you won't even be qualified to know them.

Lin Huai'en already understood what the elite team captains conveyed to him through Minister Xiao.

.

"Clotho is the eldest daughter of the three goddesses of destiny in Greek mythology. Her name 'Clotho' is the etymology of 'Cloth' and 'Clothes' in English, so the dungeon monsters we have to face have already It’s obvious…”

"Cotton essence?" Yuan Ximu tilted her head and looked at him and asked.

It made Lin Huaien almost squirt——

"What cotton spirit! It's spider spirit! Ah! No, it's a giant poisonous spider!"

Not long after Lin Huaien and the others entered [Crosso's Wall], they encountered their first monster——

【Poisonous needle thread spider】.
