Rule Skill: Life or Death

His previous job as a loader involved a single day off per week. Not only was it exhausting, but he also had to work overtime sometimes without any overtime pay.

Forget about the nine insurances and two funds; they didn't even buy social security.

The dormitory environment was far from ideal, completely chaotic, whereas here, they were directly provided with an apartment.

Seeing that Zhou Wen had stopped messaging, Mu Rufeng felt relieved and continued eating his dinner, starting to review the relevant information sent by Zhao Dayong.

First, it introduced the origin of the Oddity Dungeon game.

About five years ago, in 2018, the Oddity Dungeon game suddenly appeared in countries around the world.

Initially, the player count was very low, and although the death rate was high, it was attributed to ordinary incidents, and the authorities were largely unaware of the Oddity Dungeons.

Even if someone cleared a dungeon and returned to the real world, they wouldn't report it to the authorities.

Later, as more and more people entered the dungeons, a person holding a rather high position within the system also entered a dungeon.

After this player cleared the dungeon and emerged, they immediately reported it to the state, and from then on, the dungeon game came to the attention of the government.

Finally, centered around this player, the Relevant Department was directly established, and a large amount of resources were allocated to it.

The Relevant Department was not subject to the jurisdiction of any other department and was only accountable to the highest authority.

As of now, it has been five years since the Relevant Department was established.

In the past, there were fewer players entering dungeons, making them easy to control.

As time passed, the number of players entering the dungeon game has also been increasing.

The authorities even speculate that an era where everyone enters dungeons might emerge.

Ultimately, it's just speculation, and no one dares to be certain. The only thing that can be confirmed is that the number of players entering dungeons is indeed increasing.

As for the origin of the Oddity Dungeons, no one knows.

At the same time, even after these Oddity Dungeons are cleared, they still exist, allowing the next or next batch of players to enter them.

Thus, this gave rise to dungeon guides, and naturally, the authorities possessed the most dungeon guides.

In this regard, the ability to increase players' survival rates within dungeons is indeed not false.

Of course, not all dungeons have detailed dungeon guides. For example, dungeons that have never been cleared, or even if there are guides, there's still a high risk of death.

The most crucial point is that every so often, new dungeons appear. The emergence of new dungeons means that players' lives must be risked to find guides.

The [Scarlet Preferred] that Mu Rufeng cleared is a newly appeared dungeon.

Zhao Dayong also told Mu Rufeng to write out the dungeon guide when he had the time.

Every seven days, one must enter the next dungeon; not earlier, not later, because it's a mandatory entry.

If there's a specific medium, one can bypass the seven-day time limit and enter the dungeon directly.

Additionally, once the level reaches three, this time limit changes to once a month.

Of course, there are also ways to delay the time for entering dungeons.

However, this is only possible for LV1 and LV2.

By consuming one hundred Soul Coins, one can postpone it by a week.

Of course, even if you have enough Soul Coins to postpone it, you must still go to a dungeon once a month.

For example, if your dungeon entry date is the fifth, and you want to spend four hundred Soul Coins to postpone it by four weeks, which is twenty-eight days.

However, twenty-eight days would already reach the next month, so in that month, you can only spend a maximum of three hundred Soul Coins to postpone it by three weeks.

In other words, as long as you have enough Soul Coins, you can completely manage to enter a dungeon world once a month.

If your level reaches LV5, you only need to go once every two months.

If you reach LV7, you only need to go once within three months.

The higher the level, the stronger the strength, and the higher the danger level of the dungeons entered.

"It's already been five years? Am I considered lucky or unlucky?" Mu Rufeng mused, stroking his chin.

Mu Rufeng continued to review the information.

The background and origin had already been introduced. Next were the dungeon level systems and some basic knowledge.

First, the player level system ranges from a minimum of LV1 to a maximum of LV9.

When ordinary people enter a dungeon for the first time, they are not considered true players, only preparatory players.

Only after clearing the first dungeon can one become a formal LV1 player.

The levels here are not calculated by experience points but by the number of dungeons cleared.

To advance from LV1 to LV2, one needs to clear two more dungeons to upgrade to LV2.

To upgrade from LV2 to LV3, one needs to clear three more dungeons.

The subsequent levels follow the same pattern.

If the first batch of players who entered the dungeons did not die, then perhaps they could only reach level seven at most?

When he checked the official information, the player who founded the Relevant Department seemed to still be alive.

While higher levels mean greater strength, the dungeons you enter will also become more dangerous, with a higher probability of death.

Mu Rufeng didn't know the current highest level in the country, as the information didn't state it.

At LV1, you can unlock Contract Slots and your Item Inventory.

Contract Slots allow you to form contracts with Oddities, thereby gaining their power.

Contract Slots play a crucial role in a player's survival rate within the dungeon game.

For every level gained, both Contract Slots and Item Inventory can be increased.

At LV2, you can have 2 Contract Slots.

At LV3, you have three Contract Slots, and so on.

As for the Item Inventory, you gain three additional slots for every level you advance.

"Contracting Oddities?"

"If that's the case, then Captain Zhou Wen's previous actions of restricting my movement and the flames that repelled the bandages must have been the power of contracted Oddities?" Mu Rufeng pondered to himself.

Since he displayed two abilities this time, did that mean Zhou Wen was already an LV2 player, having contracted two Oddities?

What level were Qu Lianhong and Cheng Youlin, and what Oddities had they contracted?

Mu Rufeng continued to review the information.

He also gained a better understanding of the dungeon worlds.

The dungeon game is divided into two modes.

They are Single-player Mode and Multiplayer Mode.

Single-player dungeons are naturally like Scarlet Preferred.

Multiplayer dungeons involve multiple players entering the same dungeon.

Mu Rufeng recalled Qu Lianhong mentioning that Cheng Youlin's first dungeon was a multiplayer one, in which Captain Zhou Wen also participated.

If he were in a multiplayer dungeon, then the fact that he had a cheat would be at risk of exposure.

"Forget it, if I really enter a multiplayer dungeon, I'll just have to take it one step at a time. At worst, I'll just get exposed, what's there to be afraid of?" Mu Rufeng couldn't be bothered to think about it too much.

If it really came down to the most dangerous moment, he'd just be a good man reborn in eighteen years.
