"Di Wrong" is a world that pays great attention to teamwork.
Even "Ottar the Fierce", known as the "Ultimate Weapon of Orario", could only reach the 58th floor of the dungeon alone, and there was no area he could reach further down.
The dangers in the dungeon far exceed those of most previous illusions. Even if Luo Jie reaches the level of "Otta the Fierce", he will not be able to go all the way solo.
He needs a team of his own.
Regardless of whether "Holy Glory" and "Succulent" can be fully trusted or not, the problem is that their upgrade speed cannot keep up with Luo Jie's needs. The upgrade efficiency gap between the two sides has long widened and will continue to grow as time goes by.
enlarge.
Therefore, directly poaching high-level adventurers from other families is undoubtedly the most cost-effective solution.
However, due to the existence of "favor", it is not easy to poach people, especially the main members of the first echelon of each clan.
Luo Jie is not sure how many will be successful in the end. The only thing he can do is to "cast the net widely and catch more fish" and increase the success rate of poaching by expanding the scope of candidates.
Thinking from "Sword Princess Ais" to "Hayte Liu", Luo Jie suddenly realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
In Orario, not all high-level adventurers are in the major families, there are also some wandering adventurers who have separated or lost their families due to various reasons.
If we start with these people, the success rate will undoubtedly be much higher than poaching corners from other families.
"Miss Ais."
Hearing Luo Jie calling her, "Ais", who was practicing precise stabs against the gaps in the city bricks, turned her head and asked in confusion: "What? Did I practice wrong somewhere?"
"Ah, no, I just want to ask Miss Ais something."
"Ais" tilted her head, lowered her sword and came to Luo Jie.
"Miss Ais, does your Loki family have any plans for an expedition recently?"
The expedition is a very sensitive issue for any family members. Once a hostile force grasps the course of action, it may suffer an extremely heavy blow.
This is how the Astraea family that "Hayate-Lyu" belonged to was destroyed.
However, the Loki Familia is the largest Familia in Orario after all, and every move is under the attention of everyone. In addition, Luo Jie saved "Thousand Fairy-Refiya" and others at the "Monster Festival"
, "Ais" was not wary of him, and after a moment of hesitation, she told the truth: "Our family has just returned from the expedition and needs to rest for a while. We should not conduct a large-scale group expedition in a short time..."
"Oh, that's right."
"However, I may go to the dungeon alone for a while recently. If you need to bring anything, I can help."
When "Aisi" said this, Luo Jie remembered it.
Because she broke the spare weapon lent to her by the Gubonyu Familia at the "Monster Festival", "Ais" was still carrying a debt of 40 million mana.
Even if she is a LV.5 adventurer, it will take some time to close this hole.
"Actually, I wanted to go to the "Riviera Street" on the 18th floor, but with my level it's difficult to get to the 18th floor quickly, so I wanted to see if there were any family members who were going on an expedition recently and take a ride.
"
The 18th floor of the dungeon is also known as the "Paradise of the Labyrinth".
This floor will not produce any monsters. Not only is it safe, but the environment and climate are very suitable for human habitation. There is even a special crystal that can simulate the change of day and night to provide lighting for the entire floor.
It is precisely because of this particularity that all clan adventurers will use this place as the first stop and temporary resting point for expeditions. Merchants also discovered business opportunities here, transported supplies from the ground regardless of the cost, and built a large number of buildings on the 18th floor.
Commercial facilities provide accommodation and supply services to passing adventurers.
Over time, a small underground town - Rivera Street - gradually formed.
With Luo Jie's currently announced level of LV.2, although it is a little early to go to the 18th floor, it is not an incomprehensible behavior.
"Ais" nodded and said, "Okay, let's meet at the entrance of the dungeon tomorrow morning."
…
The next day, the underground hall of the Tower of Babel.
The heavily armed "Sword Queen-Ais" arrived as promised.
Although the light silver armor obscures her beautiful curves, it also gives her a heroic and capable temperament like a Valkyrie.
However, she is not alone.
In addition to the irresistible licking...the sweet girl "Thousand Fairy-Refia", and four other members of the Loki Familia also followed.
Luo Jie was more familiar with the Amazon twin sisters, "Angry Snake-Tione" and "Great Cut-off-Tiona" who had fought against the Corpse Flower together at the "Monster Festival".
The other two people, one is a blond little human man who looks like a handsome young lady, and the other is an elf woman with long green hair who has a noble temperament.
The leader of the Loki Familia is "Brave Finn" and the deputy leader is "Nine Demons - Riveria".
"Hello, Mr. Nightmare, you saved my companions last time. Please allow me to express my most sincere gratitude to you."
"Brave Finn" extended a friendly hand to Luo Jie.
Because of "favor", the higher the level of adventurers, the less likely they are to show their age. Although this "Finn" still looks like a young man, his actual age is over 40 years old, and he is definitely considered an uncle.
So, when a pretty girl says she likes uncles, the actual line is that she likes "mature, stable, handsome, and wealthy uncles." Just because of her age... that's "uncle."
The elves tabooed physical contact with strangers, and "Nine Demons - Riveria" also nodded to Luo Jie to express her gratitude.
This woman is older, said to be over 70 years old, an absolute grandmother... Of course, if calculated according to the lifespan of the elves in this world, she can only be regarded as a mature woman.
Luo Jie and "Finn" clasped their hands and said with a smile: "You're welcome, we are both adventurers. We should help each other when facing monsters."
As an adventurer of the previous generation who has experienced countless storms and waves, "Brave Finn" naturally would not take Luo Jie's polite words seriously. He maintained an impeccable formulaic smile and continued: "Actually, it was originally "Ais"
Wanting to come alone, "Tiona" suggested an aimless walk in the dungeon. "Rivelia" and I happened to have nothing to do, so we all came together... Mr. Nightmare, you won't mind, right?"
"Of course not, I just want to hitch a ride to the 18th floor. It's my dream to have the "Brave" and "Nine Demon Girls" traveling with me."
The Loki Familia is the number one adventurer team in Orario, and Luo Jie is almost unknown among the players. This combination attracted the attention of all nearby players and aboriginal adventurers as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.
.
"Brave Finn" and the others have long been accustomed to this feeling of being in the spotlight, and they did not show any signs of being unnatural and just chatted with their companions around them.
"By the way, why didn't "Bert" come? He was the most active in going down to the dungeon to fight monsters."
"Haha, that gray wolf has been troubled recently! Because of that strange curse, he got into trouble with a novice adventurer like a rabbit. Although the other party didn't know the true identity of "Burt", he seemed to have identified him as a member of our family.
There is a werewolf beauty, and you can see that young man at the gate of the family every now and then..."
"Tiona, are you so gloating about your misfortune? If the effect of the curse is to continue to corrode, maybe "Bert" will really become a woman in the future..."
"Isn't that better? I guess Lord "Loki" must be very happy."
"Okay...I admit you are right."
Whether it was chatting or testing, "Brave Finn" suddenly started talking to Luo Jie.
"Mr. Nightmare, although there are some things I shouldn't say - the security of "Riviera Street" is not very good. If you are alone, it is better to wait until your level reaches LV.3 before going there."
"Thank you for reminding me, I just want to take a walk and pay my respects to the tomb of the family members of the goddess of justice "Asteria"."
Luo Jie's answer made "Finn" slightly stunned, and then a look of regret appeared on his face: "Astraea Familia... I haven't heard anyone mention this name for a long time. I remember the last time I met them.
We fought together, or we fought together against the dark faction that attacked Orario seven years ago, "Riveria", do you still remember?"
"Nine Demon Queens - Riveria" also let out a sigh of regret: "How could I not remember? Those were seven days of darkness and seven days of miracles - at that time there was only LV.6 "The Fierce One"
"Ta" risked his life and dignity to defeat the fallen former Zeus Familia member, LV.7 "Gluttony-Chardo", and became the true strongest Orila."
"Finn" nodded and continued: "Yes, the five little girls from the Astralia family are even more incredible. They are obviously a group of newcomers with only LV.3 and LV.2, and they just brought down the former He.
The LV.7 "Quiet-Alfia" of the La Familia... Although she is terminally ill and has only a short time to live, she is still known as the woman who is closest to the title of "hero" in the history of Orario."
Luo Jie was confused after hearing the two people's feelings about the past.
This timeline is two years earlier than the earliest timeline in the original animation and novel. Luo Jie had no idea that such a war that was so close to destruction had happened in Orario.
"Ah, sorry, we were just worried about ourselves and forgot that Mr. Nightmare didn't know about this." "Brave Finn" smiled apologetically, "The Adventurer's Guild Library in Orario, for seven years
There are very detailed records of the previous "Seven Days of Death". If Mr. Nightmare is interested, you can check it out in person."
"Thank you, I'll go take a look."
…
A group of big guys from the Loki Familia were leading the way, and the monsters along the way turned into ashes like paper. In less than ten hours, the group arrived at the first stop of the trip - 18
Level "Labyrinth Paradise".
"Angry Snake-Tionne" raised his head and glanced at the star-like green crystal above his head, frowned and said: "This time we are traveling lightly in a small group and we did not bring a tent. It seems that we may have to sleep in the open all night."
"Brave Finn" smiled and shook his head: "I haven't stayed in a hotel for a long time. Let's stay in a hotel today."
"But... the hotels on Rivera Street are very expensive..."
"It doesn't matter, I'll invite you this time."
"Brave Finn" knew that the two Amazon sisters and "Ais" were currently in financial crisis because their weapons were damaged during the expedition, so he warmly assumed the expenses.
After traveling along an obviously man-made road for about half an hour, a simple town appeared on a hill surrounded by green trees.
Rivera Street.
It's better to say it's a village than a town.
In order to resist the regular attacks by monsters, almost all the stone materials in the town are used to strengthen the city walls, while the houses can only be built with wooden planks.
Coupled with the lack of overall planning, the street pattern looks chaotic, and even the slums of Orario are several times better than the environment here.
"Seven people, the accommodation fee is 5,000 Fali per person, a total of 35,000 Fare, they must pay first and then move in."
The greasy-faced innkeeper was lying on the front desk, picking his nostrils. Even the famous Loki family members in Orario could not make him show any enthusiasm. His attitude was as bad as the waiters in some state-owned stores in the 1980s and 1990s.
"So expensive? Why don't you go and grab it?"
If it weren't for the fact that his sweetheart was present and he couldn't act too brutally, "Angry Snake-Tionne" would have had the intention to demolish this black shop with his bare hands.
In most hotels in Orario, you can stay for 2,000 francs a night, but here the price is more than twice as much!
"Little girl, how long has it been since you've been to Rivera Street? The prices here have always been like this... Why do you think we risked our lives to open a store in this ghost place surrounded by monsters? Isn't it just to make a few more bucks?
Money? If you want it cheap, then you can sleep in a tent outside the town!"
"Forget it." "Brave Finn" grabbed "Angry Snake Tione" who was about to explode, threw out a few gold coins, and said politely: "Boss, my companion doesn't know much about Rivera Street.
Price, please prepare a room for us."
The greasy innkeeper then took a better attitude and took off a few keys with wooden tags from the hook at the back and threw them to a few people.
On the way upstairs, Luo Jie asked "Finn": "Are the prices on Rivera Street always so high?"
"Finn" knew that Luo Jie was here for the first time, and he did not show any impatience with this obvious problem. He explained: "After all, this is the eighteenth floor underground, and the transportation of food and supplies is very difficult...
…In fact, accommodation is okay, after all, most expedition teams will bring their own tents, but the supplies of medicine and food are really expensive, and sometimes they can even be sold for more than ten times the price on the surface.”
"Nine Demon Queens - Riveria" also took over the topic and continued: "But there is nothing we can do about it. The expedition is a large team operation. It is impossible for the supply convoy to pass through the first seventeen floors quickly, and the time is delayed.
Over time, there will inevitably be a loss of supplies and medicines. If a certain amount of supplies are not provided here, the distance of the expedition will be greatly affected..."
After taking the key and going upstairs to check in his room, Luo Jie declined the dinner invitation from "Finn" and others and left the hotel alone.
Medicines are the best-selling items on Rivera Street.
Since most of the raw materials and even finished products need to be transported from Oralli City, the medicines here have been in short supply for a long time.
There are even more pharmacies on the entire street than there are hotels.
Luo Jie walked all the way and asked several pharmacies. Sure enough, even though the store owner deliberately lowered the purchase price, the price was still two or three times higher than the selling price in Oralli City.
Yes, this is his plan.
Using the 100 cubic meters of storage space that the dog "Xiao Ke" can store without authentication, he works as a second-hand medicine dealer between Orario and Rivera Street.
A legal money-spinning BUG that only he can use at the moment.
Sorry, I have been struggling with my children recently, and it is difficult to maintain normal updates. I try my best to adjust... But to be honest, I really can't guess what trouble that bastard will cause me...
