Before I knew it, one night passed in a blink of an eye.
Although meditation is boring, once you become proficient, it can replace most of your sleep time.
Even if you sit for a whole night, you can be sure to be full of energy.
Suddenly, Ji Xun slowly opened his eyes when he heard noise outside the door.
He looked at the time on his pocket watch, five-fifty.
I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up and eat some solid food. It was exactly six o'clock.
Putting on a gas mask and a hunter's backpack, he also opened the door.
As soon as she walked out, she saw Nan Jing and her two companions in the corridor.
Seeing Ji Xun come out, Nan Jing took the initiative to greet him: "Good morning, Mr. Ji Xun."
Ji Xun looked stunned for a moment and responded: "Well, morning."
When the corpse collector stayed with the corpses all the time, no one spoke.
Now that someone was greeting him suddenly, he was still not used to it.
The expressions of Nanjing's two companions were a little wary.
They could have heard Nanjing knocking on the door last night.
Perhaps in the eyes of the two of them, Ji Xun felt that he was a liar who deceived the little girl's feelings?
The two of them turned around and walked downstairs without saying anything.
Nan Jing bowed slightly apologetically towards Ji Xun and said nothing, but it was understood: "My friends don't mean any harm, please don't mind Mr. Ji Xun."
Ji Xun didn't take it to heart at all and followed him downstairs.
It was said to set off at six o'clock, but at a quarter past six, a group of idle hunters gathered together.
Then it’s time to get on your way.
A group of people took a troop carrier to the Nugget Pier.
Ji Xun also took the steam cable car across the chasm of the abyss for the second time.
Looking at the hanging rain and the cracks in the world, I was still shocked.
Then a group of more than fifty people and a bunch of supplies boarded a steam train filled with hunters and mercenaries.
This time we are not going to Devil’s Crossing in the west;
Instead, there is a new ruins in the north called "Thunder Fortress".
Ji Xun was not idle during the long car ride. He kept looking at the medical classics he borrowed from Nanjing last night.
After all, I borrowed it, so I might as well return it if I finish reading it earlier.
Nan Jing was very well-behaved, sitting next to him, and occasionally chatting about medical-related knowledge.
But Ji Xun's behavior of reading on the train was a bit pretentious in the eyes of her two companions.
doctor?
How do you look like a doctor?
Isn't this a lame excuse to borrow a book to get close to a girl?
Ji Xunquan pretended not to see it.
During this period, Nanjing also wanted to ease the relationship between several people, but found that it had no effect.
Her two companions grew increasingly wary.
And Ji Xun has no interest in easing this worthless interpersonal relationship.
The four of them got along awkwardly all the way.
In this flash, another five hours passed.
The train arrives at Thunder Fortress.
The scale of the ruins here is not as large as Devil's Crossing, it is just a military fortress.
It seems that it has experienced a war. The buildings were severely damaged and the walls were in ruins.
But in places where wars occurred in ancient times, the occurrence rate of extradimensional space will be higher.
This fortress has recently been a popular site where many hunter groups and mercenary groups have come to open up wasteland.
As a result, a large hunting camp was built.
But Ji Xun and the others' destination this time was not the fortress.
After reaching the end of the railway, the group changed into a troop carrier and cleared out some less troublesome ghouls and aberrations along the way.
After driving for a few more hours, a group of fifty people and a large amount of supplies arrived at an unnamed dark mountain col.
The large force of the Black Wolf Hunter Regiment has set up a temporary camp here with infantry fighting vehicles and armor plates.
There was a bright bonfire in the camp and it was crowded with people.
"We're here! Everyone get out of the car!"
"Brothers, come help unload the supplies."
"."
Ji Xun and the hunters got out of the personnel carrier.
After bumping around for several hours, his feet touched the ground again, and he let out a long breath.
Observed around the camp.
This place is already a real wilderness, and dangers are hidden everywhere in the darkness.
Just by taking a few glances, Ji Xun saw the green eyes of some unknown monsters flashing around the camp, coveting something. But he was too afraid to approach the bonfire.
He had learned about the "Black Wolf Group" before coming here.
This is a long-established mercenary group that has been registered with the Hunter Union for several years and has a good reputation.
Medium size, about seven to eight hundred people.
There are about three hundred people here, a group.
The team is led by the second-level deputy leader, named "Red Wolf" Reko.
This group has various professional card templates [4 of Spades-Beast Walker], so the entire group is almost all hunters of this occupational sequence.
They are here because they are looking for werewolf material.
That's roughly the information.
Ji Xun looked around and saw the cave at the foot of the mountain not far away at a glance.
There is a space vortex that distorts light at the entrance of the cave, which is naturally the [Greedy Mine].
This is the most common entrance to an extradimensional space.
This is the benefit of land reclamation. As long as an extra-dimensional space is discovered, it becomes private property.
Of course, the premise is that you have the strength to hold this space.
This is also one of the biggest advantages of large hunter groups and mercenary groups.
To a certain extent, the extradimensional space is like a mine.
As long as it is developed properly, it will generate continuous revenue.
Not long after Ji Xun and his party got off the bus.
A table was set up in front of the tent not far away.
A team leader of the Black Wolf Regiment greeted him straight to the point: "Okay, all new friends, each of them has twenty thousand yuan. Please pay first and then enter."
As soon as he finished speaking, fifty people walked over consciously.
Ji Xun also lined up behind the three people from Nanjing, ready to pay.
That's right.
This is a copy that requires a ticket to explore!
This method is very common in developing some large-scale heterodimensional spaces.
In an extra-dimensional space with a difficulty level exceeding B level, it is generally rare to clear it in one go.
It can never even get an S rating, and the space is wiped out just by the number of times.
Exploration means casualties.
Even the top hunter group cannot bear this kind of personnel loss.
What's more, hiding the plot triggers depends not only on strength, but also on chance and luck.
So some "external forces" are needed.
When the pioneer hunter group finds that it encounters a space that it cannot solve, it will issue a recruitment call for joint exploration through the Hunter Guild.
Use the recruited lone hunters and small teams to increase space exploration and reduce your own casualties.
Although they will lose some of the treasures produced by the space, the tickets can be regarded as the most stable cash flow for the hunter group, and they can also reduce their own casualties.
It's mutually beneficial.
Furthermore, eating alone will not cause unnecessary trouble.
A group of hunters also came to this space. Although the entrance fee of 20,000 yuan was not a small amount for ordinary people.
But it’s also an opportunity to use your little to make a big difference.
The output of this [Greedy Mine] is considerable.
Skill cards, rare ores, werewolf materials, ancient potion formulas.
If a skill card can be released, twenty thousand will become at least one million.
Or draw rare materials, special items, etc. through lottery.
The higher the Cataclysm level limit in a space, the better the rewards for card settlement.
It’s not that there has never been a card-drawing European Emperor.
The clearance rating is obviously very low, but by drawing a card, you can get something very rare.
Get rich overnight.
Thinking of Emperor Ou, Ji Xun glanced at Miss Meathead in front of him with a slightly strange expression.
Nan Jing seemed to be aware of it, turned around and blinked: "What's wrong?"
Ji Xun shook his head and said with a smile, "It's okay."
While collecting money, someone at the table was explaining the precautions for entering the space.
"Everyone, let me make it clear first that this [Greedy Mine] D-level difficulty has been locked. Entering now is C-level difficulty, and the current mortality rate is about 20%. Please think carefully before entering. Don't cause problems then. Call us Black Wolf Group unkind."
Ji Xun's expression was unchanged as he listened.
Both C and D levels are fine, but they are all too difficult anyway.
Instead, when he heard the mortality rate, he thought of something else.
You can enter the extradimensional space repeatedly as long as you do not clear the level with "S rating".
But it’s not unlimited.
Space itself seems to have a hidden judgment mechanism.
The essence is to encourage hunters to obtain treasures through adventure.
Instead of greedy card bugs to spend money.
If you refresh too many times, the space will disappear, or the low-level difficulty will be locked, and the difficulty of entering the space will increase strangely, causing huge casualties.
Ji Xun has seen a lot of introductions related to extradimensional space recently.
He also discovered a very strange place.
Theoretically speaking, an extradimensional space is just like a copy of a game.
The more times you brush, the more information you have, and the less difficult it becomes.
Then after enough information is obtained, it will even be possible to clear the level with zero injuries, and the mortality rate will be lower and lower.
But the truth is exactly the opposite.
In any extra-dimensional space, once you repeatedly enter to obtain materials without triggering new plots, there is bound to be a probability of death.
Even on the lowest difficulty, a certain percentage of people will die.
This "guaranteed" mortality rate seems to be an unspoken rule that many experienced hunters know.
This is also the most important reason why the hunter group recruits outsiders to explore together.
The people from the Black Wolf Group continued to explain:
"Our group will send a small team to follow everyone into the space, but will not interfere with everyone's actions. I would like to remind everyone that this is a team mode. If you want to survive to the end, it is best not to act alone. Also, do not trigger the hidden plot improvement main line at will Difficulty. If any special plot is discovered, be sure to report it to your temporary captain as soon as possible. Of course, if valuable new information is provided, our group will also receive a bounty reward, up to one million."
"Our main task this time is to explore the second floor of the mine. When everyone comes out, please be sure to bring a piece of iron ore with a quality of 17 or above. Otherwise, we will charge an additional 100,000 admission fees."
"One final reminder. This extra-dimensional space is a magical plot mode. Only revolvers and ordinary bullets can be used. The space rules prohibit any mechanical equipment that exceeds the technological level of the era."
"."
It was Ji Xun's first time to participate in this kind of paid exploration.
Listen carefully to the rules one by one.
"Quality 17 iron ore" should only be produced in specific places.
This also prevents some guys who only want to get benefits and don’t want to take risks from stealing chickens.
As for reporting special plots and repurchasing new information at a price, this is obviously the calculation of the guys like the Black Wolf Group.
Encourage hunters to explore some high-risk areas, increase exploration, and also increase their own intelligence library.
Finally, the man added: "If you need information, come and buy it from me. We have detailed information on how to trigger branch lines and what materials can be obtained by completing which tasks."
There are three levels of intelligence: thirty thousand, sixty thousand, and one hundred thousand.
The content is very different.
Although some "chance plots" will be randomly triggered every time you enter, the main line is the same.
Intelligence means survival rate and profitability.
The mortality rate of this first-level spell card master in [Greed Mine] is not low, and no one dares to be careless.
Therefore, in addition to the ticket money, these dozens of people will also spend another amount of money on information.
Ji Xun's target is silver material, which can easily cost millions on the market. This information fee must still be paid.
What's more, last time in the 407 space, Chujiu showed him the difference between having intelligence and not having intelligence.
The three people from Nanjing also had this plan.
So the four of them bought a piece of information worth 100,000 yuan together.
Ji Xun didn't take advantage of anyone, nor did he pretend to be arrogant, and paid a quarter of the intelligence fee.
Not just them, almost everyone, even three or five people coming together, will buy the most detailed information.
People who buy information will not share it with outsiders.
The Black Wolf Group suddenly made another million in revenue.
After the robbery, Ji Xun suddenly felt that everyone had the same information, and it seemed that it was no longer worth so much money in an instant.
Not long after, after briefly reading the information, a group of people came to the cave next to the camp.
Led by the people from the Black Wolf Group, everyone filed in.
The surrounding scene changed, and Ji Xun found that he had appeared outside the walls of a dim town.
"You have entered "Greedy Mine"
"The current disaster level is C, mortality rate: 20.4%"
"Space exploration progress: 61.1%"
"Special rules: technological weapons beyond the level of the space age are prohibited"
"Keywords: plot exploration"
"Clue: The Burying Mountain Mine has been producing high-quality iron ore for hundreds of years, and occasionally some precious mithril ore. But a few months ago, a group of terrifying werewolves appeared near the town. They hunted the truants. Killing the residents of the town. The knights also failed to eliminate these monsters, so they could only use the bounty to ask the witchers from afar to clean up the monsters in the mines."
"Mission: You and your teammates play as demon hunters from afar. Your mission is to hunt werewolves and investigate the truth about the changes in the mine. The time limit is three days. You must hunt at least one werewolf before you can leave the space. "
As soon as they entered the space, the hunters eagerly swarmed into the town.
They want to harvest the easiest gains in intelligence as soon as possible.
I'm afraid that if I go late, my things will become someone else's.
Ji Xun did not act in a hurry.
In his opinion, the Black Wolf Group must keep all the truly valuable intelligence and high-yield side missions for himself.
Instead of competing with the hunters for petty profits, it is better to think more about how to dig deeper into the plot.
After all, the intelligence did not say how silver-quality werewolf materials were produced.
The other hunters had already left, and Ji Xun was still carefully looking at the content that appeared on Enlightenment.
No matter which space, this is the most accurate information.
At this time, Nan Jing and her two friends also came over.
Nan Jing asked kindly: "Mr. Ji Xun, we are going to the town to find information now. Do you want to come with us?"
Ji Xun has his own exploration plan. At present, it is more suitable to be alone, so he politely declines: "No, you go ahead. I also need to read the information."
Nan Jing didn't say much, "Oh, let's go to town first. Take care of yourself, Mr. Ji Xun."
Seeing the "fascinated" look of their companions, the two companions behind Nan Jing sighed and shook their heads.
The three of them turned and left.
The purpose of Ji Xun's visit to space this time was to gain disaster level werewolves, so he was not in a hurry about what he could gain in the town.
As soon as the people left, Ji Xun thought about testing the rules of space.
He casually took out an ordinary grenade, pulled out the safety, and threw it in the corner.
With a "boom" sound, the grenade exploded and burst into flames.
But the strange thing is that there are no traces on the ground near the grenade.
Ji Xun walked over, but easily knocked over the earth wall with one kick.
Looking at this situation, he murmured: "Is this the restriction of space rules?"
The grenade can explode normally, but it cannot cause damage to anything in this extradimensional space.
"It's a pity that this grenade can only blow up 'companions'."
Ji Xun felt a pity.
He always keeps a lot of high-power bombs in his storage ring. If he really uses them, not only first-level monsters, but also second-level monsters will be blown up with a certain probability.
But I just tried it, and it was not in vain.
At least the shrapnel from the ammunition left a scratch on his body, which hurt.
In other words, this grenade can be used against hunters entering the space.
Does the Black Wolf Hunter Group have a good reputation?
Ji Xun didn't really believe it.
There are everyone in Innocence City, but good people are scarce.
In the distance, the three people from Nanjing who had not gone far also happened to see Ji Xun testing the grenade.
Mo Feng sneered at this behavior.
Ayao also said: "I guess he thought this was a space for killing monsters with firearms. It's really reckless to come here without even seeing the recruitment restrictions."
Nan Jing didn't speak as he listened, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
