"I haven't found the connection between the two worlds yet, but I have discovered some interesting things."
Upon hearing that someone was interested in his research, Li Xingyu excitedly said...
"For example, the lifespan of humans in this world is very long, possibly reaching two or three hundred years. Ordinary people among them are not much different from us Ability Users."
This world, like ours, has many high-tech products.
But the energy that powers these products is completely different from that of our world.
Can you guess what it is?
"Damn it," Xu Chao cursed under his breath.
He had no interest in guessing that; he had absolutely no interest in it.
"Stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me the answer," He Ru said.
"It's those gods! They are the energy source of this world. All machines operate using their power, even light bulbs and computers."
Li Xingyu's words were surprising; those gods had actually become energy sources?
"You're talking nonsense. This is just saying that those gods were burned like coal," Wei Changping said.
"I'm telling the truth, and I have evidence," Li Xingyu said.
"I once experienced an Instance where a god was imprisoned by the Lord of the Netherworld Instance."
Of course, most of the so-called gods in this world are not real gods; they are all self-proclaimed.
The Lord of the Netherworld is the only true deity in this world.
Other extraordinary beings, no matter how powerful, are only considered Demigods or sub-gods.
The Lord of the Netherworld sealed away many such extraordinary beings, absorbed their power through formations, and then gave that power to humanity.
Humans have used these powers in various ways, and these powers have become an indispensable part of their lives.
In this world, all technological products essentially utilize these forces; not only that, but human longevity is also related to them.
"Really? How are you sure?" He Ru asked again.
Li Xingyu said, "I have read many books about this world, and some of them contain similar descriptions."
There was an Instance before, and the contents were relatively well-preserved. I risked my life to find their energy facilities and studied them very carefully before confirming this hypothesis.
But in fact, I wasn't the first person to discover these things; others had discovered them long before me.
However, people didn't really care about these things, so they didn't attract much attention within the gaming community.
He Ru nodded, "Yes, that's true. Some people don't even pay attention to the storyline when they play games."
Besides, in this game, players are risking their lives, so they have no time or inclination to care about these stories.
For them, they'd be better off spending that time looking at Instance guides.
"Yes, you're absolutely right," Li Xingyu felt he had met a kindred spirit.
Xu Chao said impatiently, "After all that talk, can you let us clear the Instance?"
The excitement in Li Xingyu's eyes disappeared. Indeed, what he said was of no help in beating the game.
Like the storyline of many games, it has no impact on whether or not you can complete the game.
Wei Changping said, "Right now, we're in the game's Instance, so let's think about how to clear Instance."
Even if you can't complete the Instance quest, you still need to figure out how to survive until the teleportation point opens tomorrow.
This is the real business.
"Well, let's get down to business," Xu Chao said.
Wei Changping said, "The strategy guide for this Instance is not yet complete, but the movement patterns of most of the guards and those evil spirits have been figured out, so surviving is still quite easy."
However, clearing this Instance will be a bit tricky.
Our mission is to release all the evil spirits here, but we certainly can't release them one by one.
Because they are indeed evil beings, we could also be killed by them.
Personally, I think our real mission should be to destroy the Home of Evil Ghosts.
"Once the Home of Evil Ghosts is destroyed, those evil spirits will naturally be released."
"That makes sense," Xu Chao immediately agreed, "But do you have any ideas on what we should do?"
"Not at the moment," Wei Changping said, shaking his head.
"However, my line of thinking should be correct, and I believe there must be some mechanism or something else that can destroy the Home of Evil Ghosts; it's just that it hasn't been discovered yet."
"Kill all the guards," Tang Yun suddenly said. "The way to destroy the Home of Evil Ghosts must be with them."
"Kill them all, and we'll naturally find a way."
Xu Chao said, "Killing all the guards would indeed help us complete the mission, but... that's just too difficult to do."
Although many guides mention teams that have killed the guards here, the process is not easy.
Unless these guards are reduced to ashes, they will rise again even if you cut them in two.
Now, there are at least five guards left in the Home of Evil Ghosts, one of whom is the warden of the Home of Evil Ghosts.
Basically, it's equivalent to the boss of this Instance.
Killing all the guards, including the Instance boss, is no easy task.
"If one of us is a Boundary System Ability User, it won't be too difficult, just a bit troublesome," Tang Yun said.
"I am a Boundary System Ability User, and I am currently level 30," Wei Changping said.
Everyone looked at Wei Changping, and they were all pleasantly surprised.
When dealing with guards, the biggest fear is attracting other guards.
But if there's a user with the Boundary System Ability User, then it's a different story.
Users with Boundary System Ability User can trap guards within a barrier. As long as there is no support, it's impossible for them to lose in a 5v1 situation.
Moreover, these guards all have fixed patterns of operation, which they have mastered, and the scales of victory have completely tipped in their favor.
"That makes things much easier," Tang Yun said. "I have a way to deal with that warden."
"Let's move out now and take out the first guard."
Xu Chao immediately said, "Yes, we need to act quickly. After all, there's still one team left; we can't let them get there first."
At this moment, everyone was full of confidence.
They had all read the Instance guides and knew about the Instance.
Once all the guards are killed, they will be virtually safe inside the Instance.
Moreover, killing the guards has its benefits; even if you don't clear the Instance in the end, you'll still receive some rewards.
Moreover, even if they fail, it won't be a big problem; they can still take refuge in the vacant house.
Anyway, those guards aren't very bright, so they're hard to find.
They could simply wait until the teleportation point opens tomorrow and leave.
But if you succeed, the rewards for clearing an SS-level Instance will be very tempting.
No matter how you look at it, they are in an ideal position where they can both attack and defend.
However, Li Xingyu wasn't as happy as the others, because he wasn't that interested in whether he could clear the Instance.
He was still more interested in studying the history and culture of the Netherworld.
But he still had to stay with these people, since he couldn't guarantee he could survive in the Instance alone.
