Strategy for the Trial Secret Realm

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the system's notification that the level had been cleared.

Fortunately, the Trial Secret Realm only has three bosses.

Everyone had already used up their three resurrection chances, and even if there were more bosses below, they dared not continue fighting.

The Level 10 Trial Secret Realm is far too difficult, even more terrifying than the Beast Tide in the Zone 18.

The BOSS's bizarre abilities were something they would never have imagined if it weren't for Xiao Fan's command.

No wonder they haven't cleared the Trial Secret Realm all these years.

The rewards from the secret realm are really good; each person gets 100,000 Core Power, which is almost enough for them to level up to level 11.

However, considering the dangers and hardships along the way, 100,000 Core Power seemed insignificant.

"But what are these Evolution Fragment?"

This was the first time anyone had ever seen monsters drop other items.

Although I don't know them.

"Could it be like the Ice Condensation Bead Fragment from the first level, where as long as we collect ten Evolution Fragment, our Zone 18 can evolve?" one player speculated.

After thinking carefully, Wind Snow Traveler nodded. "Possibly, but where are the other Evolution Fragment?"

Xiao Fan remained silent; the appearance of the Evolution Fragment made him increasingly aware that the <Cloud Sea> was no ordinary place.

He had a rough guess in his mind: the system notification earlier indicated that he had cleared a special Trial Secret Realm. In other words, the <Lost Island> Trial Secret Realm was different from the other instances, which was why it dropped Evolution Fragment.

Perhaps, Evolution Fragment will only drop after defeating or clearing dungeons containing "special" monsters.

As for what will happen after collecting all the Evolution Fragment, Xiao Fan has no idea, and there's no point in thinking about it now.

This Trial Secret Realm was fraught with difficulties, but fortunately, the outcome was good. At least they can continue to level up now, and thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel excited.

The once hopeless path to advancement was opened up, all thanks to Xiao Fan.

"Captain, thank you!"

Five minutes later, the team automatically exited the secret realm.

The entrance to the secret realm has been reached, and all the veteran players from Zone 18 have gathered here.

This Trial Secret Realm is equally important to them.

As long as Xiao Fan and his group can clear the level and create a complete guide to the secret realm after they emerge, these people will eventually be able to clear it as well.

So these people were waiting at the entrance of the secret realm early on, praying that the exploration team could clear the realm smoothly.

Five minutes ago, a system message appeared on the Regional Channel.

"Congratulations on being the first in this region to clear the Level 10 Trial Secret Realm <Lost Island>. Starting tomorrow, the difficulty of this dungeon will be permanently reduced by 20%."

"We beat it! The Village Chief and the others really beat it!"

Everyone was thrilled upon hearing this news.

To their even greater surprise, clearing the dungeon for the first time permanently reduced its difficulty.

But they were lucky to have caught a good time!

Let's go! We'll team up and clear the Trial Secret Realm tomorrow.

When Xiao Fan and his group of ten emerged from the secret realm, they saw excited faces everywhere they looked.

I asked around and found out that the Regional Channel had already broadcast their success, and the difficulty of the dungeon had been permanently reduced by 2%.

"A 20% reduction is acceptable." Wind Snow Traveler nodded slightly.

Lowering the difficulty is better than not lowering it at all. At the original difficulty level, any level 10 player would die instantly.

"Village Chief, hurry back to the village and make a detailed guide to the secret realm. We're planning to try out the Trial Secret Realm tomorrow," a player said excitedly.

Wind Snow Traveler pursed his lips, unsure what to say. The other players who had cleared the secret realm also wore expressions that were hard to describe.

Dude, all I can say is that confidence is a good thing.

"Okay," Wind Snow Traveler readily agreed.

As long as they can understand the strategy guide, that's fine.

Back to the Novice Village.

"Jiu Chen, do you want to explore the level eleven Beast Zone together tomorrow?"

Before leaving, Wind Snow Traveler invited Xiao Fan to level up together.

He knew Xiao Fan had regular teammates, but those players were only level five, so they couldn't quite coordinate with Xiao Fan.

Even if their team runs Level 5 Secret Realm every day, each person only gets 1000 Core Power. Keep in mind that killing a level 11 Fierce Beast gives you over 2000 Core Power.

Continuing to team up with his original teammates would somewhat hinder Xiao Fan's own development.

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

Xiao Fan waved his hand, not refusing.

For him, this wasn't a choice.

You need to clear Level 5 Secret Realm, fight level 11 Fierce Beast, and also cultivate the Seven-Colored Flower.

Xiao Fan originally planned to let go of the Seven-Colored Flower once his mana exceeded 10,000, but now he realized he couldn't let them go any further.

After creating the skill "Stealing Heaven and Changing Day the Sun," his mana becomes his health. Who would complain about having too much health?

After returning to his lodgings, Wind Snow Traveler immediately created a walkthrough for Lost Island.

He even consulted Xiao Fan on the parts he was unsure about, doing things with meticulous care.

Especially for the two bosses in the third level, Xiao Fan told him to take turns fighting the two bosses and try to keep their health levels the same, with a difference of no more than three percent.

Wind Snow Traveler wrote a lengthy guide of 5,000 words, including everything he had recorded in his notebook, and then sent it to every player in the Zone 18.

Half an hour later, he received his first response.

"Village Chief, are you sure you're not just playing with abstract concepts?"

Wind Snow Traveler:...

"Get lost, believe it or not!"

Experienced players were completely bewildered after receiving the guide.

The game starts with shooting at the sea and fighting monsters, collecting fragments, freezing the sea, dodging falling rocks, and moving rocks. In the end, there are even two bosses. Players need to use shields and spears, and manage their health during the battle.

Even assuming the worst, is it really their fault that they couldn't defeat the monsters in this secret realm?

I implore Azure Heaven! Discern the loyal from the treacherous!

They were truly wronged for not being able to defeat the Trial Secret Realm!

This is not the "Cloud Sea" they know at all.

This is so unfamiliar! Please give them back the games they're familiar with!

Players who originally planned to team up to clear the trial Dungeon tomorrow fell completely silent after seeing the guide.

They felt it was more realistic to save up some Core Power, materialize attribute points, and leave the game.

New players, needless to say,

I don't understand! I absolutely don't understand!

They were just a group of weak, helpless, and pitiful level 3 players. What did the Level 10 Trial Secret Realm have to do with them?

The most shocked person was Qin Muyu.

She sat on the bed in the thatched hut, staring wide-eyed at the game interface in front of her, which displayed the strategy guide sent by Wind Snow Traveler.

She knew that the content of the Trial Secret Realm in each Novice Zone was different; she had seen a detailed guide to the Trial Secret Realm in the Zone 1.

Compared to Zone 18, it's worlds apart!

That's all Qin Muyu could say.

The Trial Secret Realm in Zone 1 are somewhat challenging, but they don't have nearly as many or as complex mechanisms as those in Zone 18.

In comparison, the two Trial Secret Realm are nothing like a game.

"How could there be such a big difference?" Qin Muyu couldn't understand it.

What puzzled her even more was that Xiao Fan and his group had cleared such a difficult and complex secret realm on their first try.

Xiao Fan is no simple man, and neither is Zone 18.

Qin Muyu felt as if she were a princess who had come to a remote rural village, only to discover that it was actually a place of extraordinary absurdity.

She suddenly remembered that ten years after the game's arrival, humanity had only developed less than one percent of the <Cloud Sea>.

"Perhaps, everyone's understanding of 'Cloud Sea' was wrong from the very beginning."
