The Secret Realm Entrance
Although it was just an ordinary secret realm, Xiao Fan still made some preparations, dividing the 20 players into two groups.
A group of ten people should be evenly distributed according to their abilities to make it easier for him to command.
Once you have experience in the game, you can choose to split the experience equally or distribute it according to your contribution when forming a team.
Xiao Fan chose the split-the-bill option, and the others had no objections.
On the way, Xiao Yi and Liu Xiujuan began to have second thoughts after hearing that this large-scale 20-player dungeon was only a level 50 area.
The dungeons that appear in level 50 areas can only be level 50 dungeons. They're only in their twenties; how could they possibly win?
Xiao Yi's excitement about changing jobs diminished somewhat. He secretly told Xiao Fan about the couple's concerns on his friend's chat, only to receive a two-word reply from Xiao Fan.
"Take him down."
That's how confident I am.
Xiao Fan and Ye Bugu brought eight people, all of whom were above level 75. They would definitely experience a reduction in experience when fighting in a level 50 dungeon.
However, achieving the first clear of the dungeon has a different significance, especially for players like Ye Bugu who are part of a guild.
Therefore, they had no objections whatsoever.
Of the remaining people, apart from Wind Snow Traveler, they were all around level 40, and there were also Xiao Yi and Liu Xiujuan, who were in their twenties. They were challenging someone of a higher level, so they should have received double the experience reward.
If both sides team up, I wonder if the experience points will be balanced, or even slightly exceeded.
If the system calculates it this way, then it's a minor bug.
After riding for three hours, the group finally arrived at the area where this large, secret realm was located.
Xiao Fan then saw that many tents had been set up on an open space not far away.
"They're all players here to explore the new area," Ye Bugu explained.
After their own human settlements lost their security attributes, only a few large human settlements remain to maintain their status.
Small and medium-sized settlements either have to join these large settlements or disband and reside in Yanhuang City.
If there are unexplored secret realms that are too far from the city, the player teams that are heading there will choose to stay temporarily in an open area nearby to facilitate daily exploration, and will not leave until the first clear is completed.
"These teams have been exploring the dungeon for two days now. Let's go over and ask them about the progress."
Ye Bugu suggested.
After everyone dismounted, they stored the Nether Horse in their Mount Space.
After a player acquires a mount, the system will provide one Mount Space, which can be used to store the mount. However, this is the only one available. If a player acquires another mount, they will need to create their own Mount Space.
At this point, all the player teams had already gone out to explore the area. Only one player was sitting in the open space near the entrance, leaning against a large tree behind him with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep.
The player appeared to be in his early twenties, and was extremely thin, almost like skin and bones.
In the game, it's truly rare to see someone this thin.
Ye Bugu stepped forward and nudged the player.
"Hey bro, wake up."
The player opened his sleepy eyes, a hint of confusion flashing in them. Then, as if he had thought of something, he sprang up from the ground with a nimble movement.
"Holy crap! How did I fall asleep?!"
Ye Bugu pursed his lips speechlessly.
This guy is incredibly carefree. Now that there are Ghost Domain Creature in the game, isn't he afraid of being killed in his sleep?
After the player regained consciousness, he counted the number of people in Xiao Fan's team. There were exactly twenty, no more and no less. He immediately realized that it was another pioneering team.
"Holy crap! He even has Mechanical Legs, that's so damn cool!" When this player saw Xiao Yi's legs, his pupils visibly widened.
Seeing the player's expression, Xiao Yi wondered if he should go back to his wheelchair; this was just too cool.
He could keep a low profile and only unleash his Mechanical Legs during the battle to dazzle everyone else; that would be pretty cool.
Unfortunately, his current strength doesn't allow him to be high-profile; he can try it when he becomes stronger.
"Ahem~"
Xiao Fan's light cough brought the player back to his senses.
"Um, you guys are here to explore a new secret realm, right? I've been in this camp for three days now, and I went into that secret realm a couple of days ago."
"Let me tell you, this secret realm is no ordinary place. I suggest you spend some money to buy a secret realm information book. It's not expensive, just 100,000 Core Power."
"One hundred thousand!" the fat man exclaimed in shock. "Why don't you just rob it?"
He would think spending 100,000 on a guide to a level 50 normal dungeon is too expensive, let alone just buying information about a dungeon—it's outrageous!
Even online lending platforms seem relatively ethical compared to this player.
The skinny player waved his hand dismissively. "Hey, there's no way to get here faster than by snatching."
Team members:...
Xiao Fan turned and left.
It's just a regular dungeon; you can do it even without knowing the information. Why spend the money?
Seeing Xiao Fan leave, the others quickly followed.
The skinny player didn't expect Xiao Fan's team to leave so decisively, without even haggling.
"Hey, hey, don't go! It's just a business deal. I'll make an offer, you can haggle, why are you being so serious? Ten thousand! Ten thousand Core Power and I'll tell you everything I know, okay?"
The skinny player shouted at the top of his lungs, but Xiao Fan's team didn't stop at all.
The skinny player was also responsible for guarding the camp and couldn't chase after anyone. Seeing that Xiao Fan's team left without turning back, he regretted it.
"I should have known better than to say it was so high."
"Master, 10,000 Core Power isn't expensive," Ye Bugu said upon hearing the shout from behind.
"No need. Normal dungeons mainly rely on player strength and skills. Just be careful and there won't be any problems."
Upon hearing this, Ye Bugu did not try to persuade them further. Following the coordinates of the secret realm, they walked for another ten minutes or so until the group saw the white entrance to the secret realm ahead.
"Arrive."
At this moment, a group of players were standing in front of the secret realm. It seemed that they had not cleared the level and had just exited the secret realm.
Xiao Fan's team walked over, and the players in that team were all looking dejected and cursing.
"I've never seen such a disgusting dungeon! The mobs can even revive, how are we supposed to fight this? Are they just going to keep multiplying?"
"Even the ordinary secret realms in this <Ghost Domain> are this difficult, it's truly disheartening~"
"Captain, how about we stop fighting? It's event time now, and we've already wasted three days here. We could probably have leveled up twice outside in that time."
"Yes, Captain, although the first-clear reward is generous, this dungeon is really difficult. The monsters keep respawning after you kill them, you can't make any progress."
The player who was called the captain looked conflicted, but finally made up his mind and said to one of the players on the other side.
"We're not planning to run this dungeon anymore. You guys should find another team."
In the game "Cloud Sea," most players currently have fixed teams of ten to twelve people. Generally, for level 20 dungeons, two teams are combined to fight together.
This team of 20 people in front of us is clearly like that.
Upon hearing this, the captain of the other team waved his hand and said, "Our team isn't going to waste any more time here. Let's go together."
Xiao Fan and his companions overheard the entire conversation within the group.
"Brothers, we're here to raid the dungeon. What's this about the dungeon monsters respawning?"
Seeing that the group was about to leave, Qin Muyu ran up and asked them.
