Before the sun went down, the three of them finally found the location of the dungeon under the guidance of the system's dial: unlike the obscure hidden entrance of the "Death's Lair", the scene design of the mine dungeon is much more majestic - within the semi-open dungeon, the last rays of the setting sun pass little by little through the desolate mine surrounded by barbed wire; Hills of untreated raw ore, rusty old machines and low, humble factories are gradually bidding farewell to the afterglow of the sun and being swallowed up by the shadow of the cliffs...... In the area where darkness has ruled, some lighted robot NPCs are constantly shuttling along a fixed route in the shadows, looking from afar like a group of fireflies that follow the rules. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"The Black Sheep Company is really generous, but it's just a copy scene, and it's exactly like the real thing!" Looking at the strange and magnificent scenery under his feet, Zhu Yaoming couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart, "But it's also quite strange, how come I have never heard of the game projects developed by them with such strong financial resources?" ”

"When Elise recruited me, she mentioned that Black Sheep was engaged in the development of high-precision intelligent machinery and ergonomic equipment before engaging in game development. Later, due to some problems in the research direction, the company encountered difficulties in expansion, so it turned to the game market with a lower investment threshold and less risk, aiming to develop a game model with the best experience. Recalling the reply given by Elise at that time, Lu Pingchuan explained to the other two, "In fact, the development of the game project has only been carried out for about three years, and we have only been in the fourth beta test this year, so it is normal for us not to know in China." ”

"That's what happened, no wonder the scene construction is so high-......" "Hehe, the financial resources are indeed abundant, but they are willing to spend so much on game projects, and I'm afraid the target is not only the game market." Xia Yan's meaningful words interrupted Zhu Yaoming and Lu Pingchuan's emotion, but before the two of them could react, she pointed to a platform at the bottom of the mountain and said, "I'll talk about it later, I seem to have found an NPC to dock the task." ”

The three of them walked down the mountain while groping along the mountain road, and when they got closer, they saw the appearance of the NPC - the same as the person in charge of the mining area of the post station, the connector here is also a robot, and he looks like a sad old man, who is moving back and forth along the route prescribed by the system on the road to the dungeon, which is fortunate that for a week, the three of them have been used to encountering all kinds of robot NPCs on various occasions, otherwise they would have bumped into such a guy while walking at night without warning, No matter how daring you are, you have to be taken aback.

After Xia Yan used the system dial to determine the identity of the target's task connector, she stepped forward to start the task program, and the "old man" immediately stopped and turned to face them, and began to tell them the plot that was happening in the mining area with the recording:

"Ah, you're finally here! I knew Benjamin and Mayor Mare weren't going to leave us alone...... As you can see, I was originally a foreman in the mine, named Johnson, and I have been working in this mine for 18 years, and this is half of my home! But now, we have lost everything, our jobs, our income, our possessions...... They were all taken away by those bastards! Three months ago, a group of strangers came to the mine and approached Mr. Benjamin, saying that he was a pioneer who had fallen behind in the pioneer group and wanted to find a job in the mine...... We were reluctant to take them in, but the kind Mr. Benjamin and the mayor offered them a position...... At that time, if only I could hold my opinion! Last night, while Mr. Benjamin was leading people to investigate the new vein, they rioted and occupied the entire underground mine and most of the surface living quarters, and kidnapped all the technicians and managers of the mine except me. Now that almost the entire mine is under their control, they demand that the mayor turn the mine privately or kill all the hostages......"

“…… It's horrible, if I hadn't been used to patrolling the mine I was in charge of every night before going to bed, I'm afraid I would have fallen into their hands last night...... Young man, I need your help! Please find a way to infiltrate the mines and rescue my old boys! The leader of the thugs is a big big man, they call him 'Wolf the Giant,' and if you find a way to subdue him, then the rabble under his command will not be a match for us old miners......"

After listening to Johnson's babbling for a while, the three of them, with the help of the system's watch face, finally understood the general situation of this quest: the mining dungeon is a point-based dungeon with limited-time segmented rewards, and the goal of clearing the level is to collect 200 points. In the mining area, there are only two ways to collect points: one is to rescue NPC "hostages" trapped in underground mines and surface living quarters, and each hostage rescued can earn 5 points; The second is to defeat the underground dungeon boss "Giant Wolfe", and you can get 100 points at one time. There are no points to be gained by knocking down mobs, so you need to avoid unnecessary grappling as much as possible.

In addition to the point system, another major difficulty feature of this dungeon is the time limit: according to the introduction of the system watch face, the timer stage will enter after receiving the task, and when the player clears the time, that is, the time to complete the specified points is less than 45 minutes, it will be regarded as a valid clearance, and all experience and material rewards can be obtained; Starting from 45 minutes, the task reward will be reduced by 5% for every 5 minutes of timeout, and more than one and a half hours will be regarded as a task failure, and all rewards will be reset to zero; However, on the other hand, completing the task within 45 minutes in advance can also get additional experience points and material rewards, which will increase by 10% for every 5 minutes in advance; When the player clears the game for less than 30 minutes, the experience material rewards will be doubled.
