Ron Sorcerers Never Sell Out Their Teammates Lightly!
The exploration area of Lost Paradise is very vast, providing ample room for every low-level Ron Sorcerer to grow.
Theoretically, each level has one chance to enter Lost Paradise.
This is Xu Nan's third time entering Lost Paradise, and he has gained quite a bit from the previous visits.
"Leveling up is getting harder and harder. From now on, I must seize every opportunity to explore Lost Paradise at every level!"
As Xu Nan was thinking this, a familiar synthesized voice came to his ears:
Welcome to the City of Abundance!
"Although the City of Abundance is presented as a dungeon, it doesn't appear very often in low-level warlock adventures. I hope everyone can work together; only in this way can we complete this dungeon adventure!"
The melodious sound of the lute came from the side, and the scenery in front of me gradually became clear.
The customers walking back and forth, the music that lingers for days, and the slightly noisy smell of alcohol all indicate that they are in the basement of a bar.
Strictly speaking, this is Wine Cellar.
Xu Nan noticed that a total of ten people, including himself, entered the Wine Cellar, each wearing a mysterious Black Windbreaker.
[Black Windbreaker: Offers a chance to become invisible]
"It's actually a prop with a function," Xu Nan thought thoughtfully.
Inside the Wine Cellar, a group of people stared wide-eyed, waiting for further announcements about the mission.
Since everyone here is Ron Sorcerer, it's probably the first time for most of us to run a 10-man dungeon. While there's some distrust between us, it's difficult to quickly become familiar with each other without someone who's naturally outgoing.
Just as Xu Nan was thinking about something, a piece of parchment appeared out of thin air in his hand, along with a red Bronze Whistle.
The parchment contains the mission details for this mission in the City of Abundance!
[City of Abundance- Phase One Mission: Find the Imperfect One!]
[Background Description: The City of Abundance is an ideal city imagined by ancient philosophers. It boasts a towering cathedral, magnificent marble squares, beautiful sails, and white towers; it is a city without lies, hunger, poverty, disease, war, or suffering; and its inhabitants are naturally those who meet the criteria of being "without leakage."]
[Background Description: However, nine imperfect individuals have infiltrated this ideal city, attempting to disguise themselves as flawless beings and blend into the crowd. The City of Abundance does not welcome such people. Therefore, your mission is to find these nine imperfect individuals, report them by blowing your red whistles, and guards will immediately arrive to apprehend them!]
[Task Hint: During the task, please ensure your behavior is impeccable and do not disrupt the beauty of the City of Abundance.]
[Quest Rewards: Bloodline Fruit *3; Other]
Someone slowly read the contents of the parchment aloud.
She was a very beautiful woman with amber eyes that exuded a unique charm. Even in a black trench coat, she was incredibly alluring.
"It looks like we should cooperate."
"After all, this instance also reminded us that we need to work together. My name is Charle Xiu..."
A short sorcerer stepped forward, preparing to give a grand introduction, when suddenly a sharp whistle rang in his ears!
The sorcerers looked in surprise toward the sound of the whistle and saw a general holding a whistle in his mouth, blowing it with all his might.
"You've found a way to find imperfections?" The beautiful woman looked at Xu Nan thoughtfully.
Xu Nan whistled and shook his head.
"You're quite skilled at reporting things," Charle Xiu, looking at Xu Nan with a puzzled expression.
Xu Nan whistled and smiled slightly, "Professional habit."
Before long, the guards rushed over menacingly. One of them, the leader, looked at Xu Nan and questioned, "Did you report him? Did you find the imperfect person?"
Xu Nan nodded leisurely, then pointed to the remaining nine Ron Sorcerer and said:
"Reporting to your Excellency, it is them!"
The other nine people were stunned!
In a flash, they seemed to understand something!
The guards' eyes lit up, and they seized the nine people. Some tried to resist, but were knocked unconscious by the guards. The others checked their strength and realized they were no match for the guards, so they could only swallow their anger and eventually were locked up in the prison.
Halfway through.
Xu Nan walked openly down the streets of the City of Abundance, feeling quite pleased with his newly acquired City of Abundance Temporary Residence Permit.
He was right after all. With tens of thousands of people in the City of Abundance, where could he find nine imperfect people?
In fact, these ten people also belong to the category of "imperfect people who infiltrated the City of Abundance" as described in the mission description!
Xu Nan was thinking of trying to sell his teammates?
Actually, he just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect to actually succeed. It's clear that this mission was extremely malicious. It required everyone to work together... well, in a sense, it was indeed a collaboration. The other nine people went into the dungeon, while Xu Nan was enjoying himself outside.
The first phase of rewards was received very smoothly.
Three Bloodline Fruit and a Temporary Residence Permit.
Only in this way could Xu Nan be allowed to swagger around the City of Abundance, after all, he wasn't without flaws—actually, Xu Nan was quite nice, considering how these residents were anything but flawless...
Of course, he didn't dare to actually experiment; he hadn't yet figured out the details of this ideal city.
After spending some time, Xu Nan gained a general understanding of the City of Abundance. Before the second phase of the mission was announced, he returned to his home in the City of Abundance and consumed three Bloodline Fruits.
[You have consumed the fruit (from Exxon Romang), your shameful event progress +1]
[You have consumed the fruit (from Exxon Romang), your shameful event progress +1]
[You have consumed the fruit (from Exxon Romang), your shameful event progress +1]
Xu Nan chuckled. He'd been thoroughly outmaneuvered, but he was completely unfazed. This time, the Bloodline Fruit couldn't directly provide energy for leveling up, but it could offset the number of shameful events. Therefore, Xu Nan only needed to complete one more shameful event to raise his Ron Sorcerer level to six!
[You have consumed the fruit (from Exxon Romang), and you have gained a spell-like ability - Pain Lash!]
[Pain Lash: Conjures a long, barbed whip to strike the enemy's vitals, causing physical and even soul damage. It has a chance to interrupt casting. An additional effect: a very small number of individuals with special constitutions can experience pleasurable pleasure from this spell, ultimately submitting to you. However, use with caution, as the Fallen's reliance on the number of lashes increases with each cast, and not every body is so resilient!]
Xu Nan was shocked.
Mr. Luo Mang's Bloodline Fruit can actually unleash such a magic-like ability? This completely overturns my impression and worldview of the old man!
He tried to conjure Pain Lash, but finding no target, he lightly rubbed his arm. Instantly, a strange heat surged up his spine, and he couldn't help but shiver several times, followed by a slight stinging sensation.
Xu Nan suddenly had a thought: this spell seems to be addictive; what if he accidentally slaps himself?
Of course, this is just wishful thinking; he's not that kind of pervert.
Xu Nan waited in the room until darkness fell, and finally the second phase of the mission arrived!
[City of Abundance Phase Two Quest: Investigate Countess Tess!]
[Background Description: Countess Tess controls major industries in the Dock District, and also owns considerable private assets outside the city. Originally, Tess was one of the standard and powerful Imperfect Ones, and a founding member of the Council of Five. Later, for unknown reasons, she withdrew from the Council of Five and secluded herself at home. Rumors suggest that Tess, due to her frequent interactions with imperfect people outside the city, has now degenerated into a flawed individual.]
[Mission Hint: Investigate Countess Tess! The Countess is very cunning, and to avoid alerting her, you only have one night's opportunity. At the same time, be sure to investigate the Dock District, Tess's mansion, and the country castle simultaneously! Only in this way can you obtain any clues.]
[Quest Rewards: Several Bloodline Fruit; Other]
Xu Nan fell into deep thought.
This task seems to require multiple people, and recruiting now is unreliable and may not be feasible due to time constraints.
"This... Reporting might feel good at the moment... but this is really embarrassing."
Xu Nan paced back and forth in the mansion a few times before quickly making a decision.
Inside the dungeon, the nine Ron Sorcerer looked at each other, the atmosphere somewhat tense.
"That guy is a disgrace to us Ron Sorcerer! Ron Sorcerer never betray their teammates easily, doesn't he know that principle?"
Charle Xiu was indignant.
"I've decided that he's smart enough and quick-witted. He's already won at least the first phase, while we're now trapped in the dungeon, and it's uncertain whether we can continue the mission."
"That's what the girl with amber eyes said. Her name is Vivian, a very common name."
Suddenly, the guard watching over the dungeon dozed off and collapsed in the rain.
Everyone became more vigilant.
A familiar figure quickly appeared in front of them:
"Don't ask too many questions. We only have fifteen minutes. I've bribed the guards at Linlao."
"I can only take two people with me now, but believe me, I will take more people with me next time I come."
"This task requires our cooperation. I apologize for using an extremely risky method to complete it without your consent, but I promise that I will share all the rewards with everyone."
"After all, we Ron Sorcerer never easily betray our teammates, do we?"
Xu Nan scrutinized everyone.
He explained, "It's like the prisoner's dilemma in game theory. At the time, we were all unregistered, and it would be very easy to get caught if we went out to investigate. Only by sacrificing nine people could we get Temporary Residence Permit for one person and gain more privileges in the City of Abundance!"
"I believe you can understand this strategy..."
Everyone: "We don't understand."
Xu Nan snapped his fingers helplessly, "100,000 Constant Gold Coin per person."
Everyone: "We understand."
Xu Nan left with Charle Xiu and Vivian, while the other seven accepted the money and agreed to continue acting as informants in the dungeon.
...!
