[Main Quest: Find Al Tilly within a month. Hunter or her corpse]
[Obtain a temporary language, and when you leave the dungeon, it will automatically disappear]
[The attributes of clothing, backpacks, weapons, and items remain unchanged, and their appearance changes temporarily, and they will be automatically restored when you leave the dungeon]

(Tip 1: This is your first official dungeon, the main quest can fail, but you need to pay a ransom of 100 points, and the highest attribute drops by 1 level, when the points are insufficient, the equipment will be deducted, and when the deducted equipment cannot make up for the penalty points, the player will be judged to have failed the game!) )
(Hint 2: Title quests will be enabled in the official dungeon - title quests and side quests are all hidden, and you need to dig them yourself)
……
After the bright light in front of him disappeared, Qin Ran's ears heard the crisp sound of horses' hooves and wheels running over the water between the stone slabs, while his body rose and fell regularly.
Yesterday's heavy rain caused a lot of water on the road, and even if someone was cleaning it, it only swept away a large area of water.
And such a small area between the stone slabs, no matter how hard the cleaner is, can't do it.
"Carriage?!"
Qin Ran looked at him in surprise.
The small carriage can only accommodate 3-4 people, and the seats are divided into two sides corresponding to the front and back, Qin Ran is sitting on the back side at the moment, facing the front, and can clearly see the receding scenery outside through the window on the side.
It should be a street with a medieval feel.
However, an antique car occasionally flashed informed, telling Qin Ran the approximate age.
People on the street wore suits, shirts, long skirts and parasols, and took off their hats to greet each other.
And he himself changed into a black trench coat, looking at the trench coat that had been temporarily changed, especially the pipe and deer hunting hat that suddenly appeared in his hand, looking at the introduction of 'you are the best detective in the city' in the background, Qin Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
COS Sherlock Holmes, you've got to give me a Watson!
The female version of the one!
"Looking for someone? Guns are down in power? ”
Qin Ran carefully looked at the rest of the introduction, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
The decline in the power of the gun and the increase in the loading time were undoubtedly very unfavorable to Qin Ran, and the combat effectiveness had dropped by at least more than three percent.
"Is this the limit of 'lawlessness'?"
Qin Ran couldn't help but muttered to himself.
Previously, after three hours of waiting, Qin Ran talked to the other party as he wished, and the other party generously told Qin Ran a lot of information.
Of course, this was based on the other party's great gains - even if it was just a text conversation, Qin Ran could feel the joy of the other party.
And this information can be broadly divided into four articles.
First of all, veteran players have set up a secret market in the game, which is open regularly every month, and any player only needs to spend 10 points to enter, which contains equipment items that far exceed the level of player forums.
Secondly, dungeons will have different restrictions on players due to different environments and eras, some good and some bad, with the latter accounting for the majority.
Thirdly, the quest experienced by the player does not become stronger because the player's strength increases, but because of the 'number of times' of the quest experienced, and as the 'number of times' increases, the difficulty of the quest will become higher and higher - the multiplayer quest is the average number of 'times' that all players have experienced the quest.
In the end, quests are allowed to fail, but at a cost, and the penalties get heavier as the number of quests 'counts'!
'This is your first official quest, the main quest can be failed, but you need to pay a ransom of 100 points, and the maximum stat will drop by 1 level! ’
Qin Ran looked at this prompt, and the kind admonition of 'lawlessness' suddenly appeared in his mind.
If you don't want to die too ugly in the future, the main quest must be completed, and even if you can't complete it, you have to recover the loss! ’
In this regard, Qin Ran expressed his very much agreement.
100 points is nothing to Qin Ran, but the highest attribute is reduced by 1 level, and Qin Ran can't afford such a loss.
You know, that's how much it costs to upgrade the skill [Tracking] to the Mastery level.
A full 3000 points and 2 skill points!
Although this calculation is somewhat general, it is not excessive.
Moreover, Qin Ran could completely imagine what would happen if the main quest of a dungeon was not completed and it was judged to be a failure!
It's going to be a muddy loop!
You didn't complete the main quest of the first dungeon, and the points and attributes were deducted, so that when you faced the main quest of the second dungeon, your ability was insufficient, and if you failed again, it was deducted again.
After repeating this several times, the results speak for themselves.
A player whose physical indicators are weaker than ordinary people, to face a hideous monster, really don't die too miserably!
"Not only do you have to complete the main quest, but you also have to overdo the side quests and title quests as much as possible - only then will you be able to get more advantages in future dungeons!"
Qin Ran knew what to do when he knew that the difficulty of the dungeon would change according to the increase in the number of times.
Moreover, he has already gained a head start.
The harvest of the novice dungeon is enough to make him far superior to other novice players.
And at this moment, in the first official copy, Qin Ran didn't mind expanding such an advantage again.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!
Qin Ran began to quickly check and prepare.
He first looked at his original tactical backpack, which had completely changed by this time.
A long wooden box about 1.5 meters long and no more than 45 centimeters wide was placed in Qin Ran's hand like this, with a pure black primer, protected by two silver-white buckle locks, and a cowhide belt was repeatedly interspersed to form a strap, on which hung two keys, one large and one small.
When Qin Ran's fingers touched the big key, some simple memories surfaced in his mind—including but not limited to the basic common sense of this era, the few people he knew well, and his residence, etc.
After tidying up slightly, Qin Ran picked up the small key.
Kaba!
Qin Ran used this key to easily open the box.
There are quite a few of them, including the Sniper [Viper-M1], the Pistol [M1905], the Dagger, 5 [U-II.] grenades, and the canned food X3 and bottled water.
Even the magazines are neatly arranged.
Of course, the appearance of these equipment and items has also changed a little, which is more in line with the perception of this era, but the method used is still the same.
This made Qin Ran breathe a sigh of relief.
If the use of firearms has changed because of the age, it will be bad news for Qin Ran.
Although the Gunpowder Weapon. Light Firearms have reached the mastery level, but there is no real way to use the musket in it - it should be the [Gunpowder Weapon. Special Firearms].
Qin Ran took out the dagger and pistol [M1905] and pinned them on both sides of his waist to cover them with a windbreaker.
Then, after thinking about it for a while, he took out the two [U-II] grenades and put them in the outer pocket of the trench coat.
Although the main quest is just to find someone, Qin Ran will not be really naïve, thinking that he can only find someone.
There will inevitably be some events in which he will have to fight.
Or 'battle and exploration intertwined' is the theme of the underground dungeon!
If it weren't for the fact that the sniper rifle [Viper-M1] was too dazzling and the windbreaker couldn't cover it at all, Qin Ran wouldn't mind putting it on his back instead of putting it in a box.
After all, he's now the city's 'best' detective, not a musketeer or something.
As soon as he entered the official dungeon, Qin Ran didn't want to do anything that didn't match the dungeon's setting, and cause trouble.
What's more, even if you are a musketeer, I'm afraid you can't carry a sniper rifle [Viper-M1] openly.
This isn't a war-torn city like a newbie dungeon.
It's a very safe, peaceful, and slightly affluent city.
At least, on the surface, that's what it seems.
……
"Your Excellency, we're about to arrive!"
The coachman informed Qin Ran through the partition window from the carriage, and after about two minutes, the carriage stopped completely, and the coachman opened the door of the carriage.
Qin Ran walked down with the box on his back and looked around.
As mentioned in the background, this is a manor.
There are lawns, fountains, and walls.
The five-storey building, which covers a large area in front of you, is naturally the center of the estate.
Qin Ran stood next to the statue of the mermaid fountain, looking at this building with white and blue exterior walls, and subconsciously thought of the waves and waves.
In particular, the lifelike mermaid statue stands in front of it, which really makes people feel as if they are in the sea.
"The Hunter family had a sea general a hundred years ago!"
"Your Excellency Qin Ran, hello, I am the butler of the Hunter family!"
With a slight introduction, an old man with a kind face immediately greeted him and bowed to Qin Ran.
At this time, the coachman, with the help of several young men, led the horse into the barn and pulled the carriage to the side of the barn.
Qin Ran's gaze swept over the young men.
Each one is athletic, nimble, and has apparently undergone some martial arts training.
"The manor needs people to defend it, and you can't rely on the police alone!"
The kind old butler explained, and then turned to the topic: "The master is waiting for you, Your Excellency, please come with me!" ”
He made a gesture of please, and the kind old butler walked ahead and led the way.
Qin Ran nodded, followed behind the other party, walked up the steps, and entered the building in front of him.
A wide corridor with a red velvet carpet and candlesticks on the walls on either side.
After passing through the corridor, the eyes suddenly opened up.
A hall with a unique style appeared in front of Qin Ran's eyes, and the pendant of the crystal lamp reflected the sunlight, making the entire hall appear crystal clear.
However, the master in the hall was worried.
It was a fair-skinned, not tall, middle-aged man with a somewhat fat figure.
Behind him was a middle-aged woman with a sad face.
Through the oil painting in the center of the hall, Qin Ran could guess that this was his 'employer' Hunter and the other party's wife.
Although the oil painting should be ten years ago, the two have not changed much and can be clearly identified.
"Mr. Detective, please help me!"
The man looked at Qin Ran who walked in, and immediately got up and came to Qin Ran, and begged.
