Before I knew it, one night passed in a blink of an eye.
Although meditation is boring, once you become proficient, it can replace most of your sleep time.
Even sitting for a whole night can ensure a person is full of energy.
Suddenly, Ji Xun heard a noise outside the door and slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at the time on his pocket watch, five fifty.
I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up and eat some solid food. It was exactly six o'clock.
Putting on a gas mask and a hunter's backpack, he also opened the door.
As soon as she walked out, she saw Nan Jing and her two companions in the corridor.
Watching Ji Xun come out, Nan Jing took the initiative to greet him: "Good morning, Mr. Ji Xun."
Ji Xun looked stunned for a moment and responded: "Well, morning."
When the corpse collector stayed with the corpses all the time, no one said anything.
Now that someone was greeting him suddenly, he was still not used to it.
Several people went downstairs.
It was said to start at six o'clock, but at a quarter past six, a group of idle hunters gathered together.
Then it was time to hurry up.
A group of people took a troop carrier to the Nugget Pier.
Ji Xun also took the steam cable car across the chasm of the abyss for the second time.
Looking at the hanging rain and the cracks in the world, I am still shocked.
Then a group of more than fifty people and a pile of supplies boarded a steam train filled with hunters and mercenaries.
This time we are not going to Devil’s Crossing in the west,
Instead, there is a new ruins in the north called "Thunder Fortress".
Ji Xun was not idle during the long car ride. He kept looking at the medical classics he borrowed from Nanjing last night.
After all, it was borrowed, so it would be easier to return it if I finished reading it earlier.
In this flash, another five hours passed.
The train arrives at Thunder Fortress.
The scale of the ruins here is not as good as Devil's Crossing, it is just a military fortress.
It seems that it has experienced a cruel war, and the buildings were severely damaged and were in ruins.
But in places where wars occurred in ancient times, the probability of extradimensional space appearing is usually higher.
This fortress is also a popular site where many hunter groups and mercenary groups have recently come to open up wasteland.
As a result, a large hunting camp was built.
But Ji Xun and his companions' destination this time is not yet the fortress.
After reaching the end of the railway, the group changed into a troop carrier and cleared out some less troublesome ghouls and aberrations along the way.
After driving for several more hours, a group of fifty people and a large amount of supplies arrived at an unnamed dark mountain col.
The large force of the Black Wolf Hunter Regiment has set up a temporary camp here using infantry fighting vehicles and armor plates.
There was a bright bonfire in the camp and it was crowded with people.
"We're here! Everyone get out of the car!"
"Brothers, come and help unload the supplies."
"."
Ji Xun and the hunters got out of the personnel carrier.
After jolting for several hours, his feet touched the ground again and he let out a long breath.
Observed the surroundings of the camp.
This place is already a real wilderness, and dangers are hidden everywhere in the darkness.
Just by taking a few glances, Ji Xun saw the green eyes of some unknown monsters flashing around the camp, coveting something. However, he was afraid of the bonfire and did not dare to approach.
He had learned about the "Black Wolf Group" before coming here.
This is a long-established mercenary group that has been registered with the Hunter Guild for several years and has a good reputation.
Medium size, about seven to eight hundred people.
There are about three hundred people here, and they are a group.
The team is led by the second-level deputy leader, named "Red Wolf" Reko.
There are various professional card templates of [4 of Spades-Beast Walker] in this group, so the entire group is almost all hunters of this occupational sequence.
They are guarding here because they are here for the werewolf material.
That's roughly the information.
Ji Xun looked around and saw the cave at the foot of the mountain not far away at a glance.
There is a space vortex that distorts light at the entrance of the cave, which is naturally the [Greedy Mine].
This is the most common entrance to extradimensional space.
This is the benefit of land reclamation. As long as an extra-dimensional space is discovered, it becomes private property.
Of course, the premise is that you have the strength to hold this space.
This is also one of the biggest advantages of large hunter groups and mercenary groups.
To a certain extent, the extradimensional space is like a mine.
As long as it is developed properly, it will generate continuous revenue.
Not long after Ji Xun and his party got off the bus.
A table was set up in front of the tent not far away.
A team leader of the Black Wolf Regiment greeted him straight to the point: "Okay, all new friends, each of them has 20,000 yuan. Please pay first and then enter."
As soon as he finished speaking, fifty people walked over consciously.
Ji Xun also lined up behind the three people from Nanjing, ready to pay.
That's right.
This is a copy that requires a ticket to explore!
This method is very common when developing some large-scale heterodimensional spaces.
The difficulty of the plot has a depth of extra-dimensional space exceeding B level, and it is generally rare to complete the level in one go.
It can never even get an S rating, and the space is wiped out just by the number of times.
Exploration means casualties.
Even the top hunter group cannot bear this kind of personnel loss.
What's more, hiding the plot triggers depends not only on strength, but also on chance and luck.
So some "external forces" are needed.
When the pioneer hunter group finds that it encounters a space that it cannot solve, it will issue a recruitment call for joint exploration through the Hunter Guild.
Use the recruited lone hunters and small teams to increase space exploration and reduce your own casualties.
Although they will lose some of the treasures produced by the space, the tickets can be regarded as the most stable cash flow for the hunter group, and they can also reduce their own casualties.
It's mutually beneficial.
Furthermore, eating alone will not cause unnecessary trouble.
A group of hunters also came to this space, and the admission fee of 20,000 yuan was not a small amount for ordinary people.
But it’s also an opportunity to use your little to make a big difference.
The output of this [Greedy Mine] is considerable.
Skill cards, rare ores, werewolf materials, ancient potion formulas.
If a skill card really comes out, twenty thousand will become at least one million.
Or you can draw rare materials, special items, etc. through lottery.
The higher the catastrophic level limit of a space, the better the rewards for card settlement.
It’s not that there has never been a card-drawing European Emperor.
The clearance rating is obviously very low, but by drawing a card, you can get something very rare.
Get rich overnight.
Thinking of Emperor Ou, Ji Xun glanced at Miss Meathead in front of him with a slightly strange expression.
Nan Jing seemed to be aware of it, turned around and blinked: "What's wrong?"
Ji Xun shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay."
While collecting money, someone at the table was explaining the precautions for entering the space.
"Everyone, let me make it clear first that this [Greedy Mine] D-level difficulty has been locked. Entering now is C-level difficulty, and the current mortality rate is about 20%. Please think clearly before entering. Don't cause problems then.
Say that our Black Wolf Group is unkind."
Ji Xun's expression was unchanged as he listened.
C level and D level are both acceptable, but they are all too difficult anyway.
Instead, when he heard the mortality rate, he thought of something else.
You can enter the extradimensional space repeatedly as long as you do not clear the level with "S rating".
But it’s not unlimited.
Space itself seems to have a hidden judgment mechanism.
The essence is to encourage hunters to obtain treasures through adventure.
Instead of greedy card bugs and swiping money.
If you refresh too many times, the space will disappear, or it may be locked in low-level difficulty, and the difficulty of entering the space will trigger an "unexpected plot", causing huge casualties.
Ji Xun has recently read a lot of introductions related to extradimensional space.
He also discovered a very strange place.
Theoretically speaking, the extradimensional space is the same as the game copy.
The more times you brush, the more information you have, and the less difficult it becomes.
Then after enough information is obtained, it will even be possible to clear the level with zero injuries, and the mortality rate will be lower and lower.
But the reality is exactly the opposite.
In any extra-dimensional space, once you repeatedly enter to obtain materials without triggering new plots, there will inevitably be a probability of death.
Even on the lowest difficulty level, a certain percentage of people will always die.
This "guaranteed" mortality rate seems to be an unspoken rule that many experienced hunters know.
This is also the most important reason why the hunter group recruits outsiders to explore together.
The people from the Black Wolf Group continued to explain:
"Our group will send a small team to follow everyone into the space, but will not interfere with everyone's actions. I would like to remind everyone that this is a team mode. If you want to survive to the end, it is best not to act alone. Also, do not trigger the hidden plot improvement main line at will.
Difficulty. If you discover any special plot, be sure to report it to your temporary captain as soon as possible. Of course, if you provide valuable new information, our group will also receive a bounty reward, up to one million."
"Our main task this time is to explore the second floor of the mine. When everyone comes out, please be sure to bring a piece of iron ore with a quality of 17 or above. Otherwise, we will charge an additional 100,000 admission fees."
"One final reminder. This extra-dimensional space is a magical plot mode. Only revolvers and ordinary bullets can be used. The space rules prohibit any mechanical equipment that exceeds the technological level of the era."
"."
This is Ji Xun's first time participating in this kind of paid exploration.
Listen carefully to the rules one by one.
"Quality 17 iron ore" should only be produced in specific places.
This also prevents some guys who only want to get benefits and don’t want to take risks from stealing chickens.
As for reporting special plots and repurchasing new information at a price, this is obviously a small calculation made by guys like the Black Wolf Group.
Encourage hunters to explore some high-risk areas, increase the degree of exploration, and also increase their own intelligence library.
Finally, the man added: "If you need information, come and buy it from me. We have detailed information on how to trigger branch lines and what materials can be obtained by completing which tasks."
There are three levels of intelligence: thirty thousand, sixty thousand, and one hundred thousand.
The content is very different.
Although some "random plots" will be randomly triggered every time you enter, the main storyline is the same.
Intelligence means survival rate and profitability.
The mortality rate of this first-level spell card master in [Greed Mine] is not low, and no one dares to be careless.
Therefore, in addition to the ticket money, these dozens of people will also spend another amount of money on information.
Ji Xun's target is silver material, which can easily cost millions on the market, so this information fee still has to be paid.
What's more, last time in the 407 space, Chujiu showed him the difference between having intelligence and not having intelligence.
The three people from Nanjing also had this plan.
So the four of them bought a piece of information worth RMB 100,000 together.
Ji Xun didn't take advantage of anyone, nor did he pretend to be arrogant, and paid a quarter of the intelligence fee.
Not just them, almost everyone, even three or five people coming together, will buy the most detailed information.
People who buy information will not share it with outsiders.
The Black Wolf Group suddenly made another million in revenue.
After the robbery, Ji Xun suddenly felt that everyone had the same information, and it seemed that it was no longer worth so much money in an instant.
Not long after, after briefly reading the information, a group of people came to the cave next to the camp.
Led by the people from the Black Wolf Group, everyone filed in.
The surrounding scene changed, and Ji Xun found that he had appeared outside the city walls of a dim town.
"You have entered the "Greed Mine"
"Current disaster level C, mortality rate: 20.4%"
"Space exploration progress: 61.1%"
"Special rules: technological weapons beyond the level of the space age are prohibited"
"Keywords: plot exploration"
"Clues: The Burial Mountain Mine has been producing high-quality iron ore for hundreds of years, and occasionally some precious mithril ores. But a few months ago, a group of terrifying werewolves appeared near the town. They hunted the miners.
Killing the residents of the town. The knights also failed to eliminate these monsters, so they could only use the bounty to ask the witchers who came from afar to clean up the monsters in the mines."
"Mission: You and your teammates play the role of demon hunters from afar. Your mission is to hunt werewolves and investigate the truth about the changes in the mine. The time limit is three days. You must hunt at least one werewolf before you can leave the space.
"
As soon as they entered the space, the hunters eagerly swarmed into the town.
They want to harvest the easiest gains in intelligence as soon as possible.
I'm afraid that if I go too late, my things will become someone else's.
Ji Xun did not act in a hurry.
In his opinion, the Black Wolf Group must keep all the truly valuable information and high-yield side missions for himself.
Instead of competing with the hunters for petty profits, it is better to think more about how to dig deeper into the plot.
After all, the information didn't say how silver-quality werewolf materials were produced.
The other hunters had already left, and Ji Xun was still carefully reading the content that appeared on Enlightenment.
No matter which space, this is the most accurate information.
At this time, Nan Jing and her two friends also came over.
Nan Jing asked kindly: "Mr. Ji Xun, we are going to the town to find information now. Do you want to come with us?"
Ji Xun has his own exploration plan. At present, it is more suitable to be alone, so he declined: "No, you go ahead. I also need to read the information."
Nan Jing didn't say much, "Oh, let's go to town first. Please take care of yourself, Mr. Ji Xun."
Seeing their companions' fascinated expressions, the two companions behind Nan Jing sighed and shook their heads.
The three of them turned around and left.
Ji Xun's purpose in coming to space this time is to get disaster-level werewolves, and he is not in a hurry about what he can harvest in the town.
As soon as the people left, Ji Xun thought about testing the rules of space.
He casually took out an ordinary grenade, pulled out the safety, and threw it in the corner.
With a "boom" sound, the grenade exploded and burst into flames.
But the strange thing is that there are no traces on the ground near the grenade.
Ji Xun walked over, but easily knocked over the earth wall with one kick.
Looking at this situation, he murmured: "Is this the restriction of space rules?"
The grenade can explode normally, but it cannot cause damage to anything in this extra-dimensional space.
"It's a pity that this grenade can only blow up 'companions'."
Ji Xun felt a little pity.
He always keeps a lot of high-power bombs in his storage ring. If he really uses them, not only first-level monsters, but also second-level monsters will be blown up with a certain probability.
But I just tried it, and it was not in vain.
At least the shrapnel from the ammunition left a scratch on his body, which was quite painful.
In other words, this grenade can be used against hunters entering the space.
Does the Black Wolf Hunter Group have a good reputation?
Ji Xun didn't really believe it.
There are all kinds of people in Innocence City, but good people are scarce.
In the distance, the three people from Nanjing, who had not gone far, happened to see Ji Xun testing the grenade.
Mo Feng sneered at this behavior.
Ayao also said: "I guess he thought this was a space where you can kill monsters with firearms. He came here without even seeing the recruitment restrictions. It's really reckless."
Nan Jing didn't speak as he listened, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
