Chapter 80: Entering the Otherworld

Before I knew it, it was a night.

Meditation is boring, but it can replace most of your sleep time when you become proficient.

Even sitting overnight can make people feel energized.

Suddenly, Ji Xun heard a movement outside the door, and slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at the time in his pocket watch, five fifty.

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up, and ate some dry food casually, just 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 Nanjing and her two companions also in the corridor.

Seeing Ji Xun come out, Nan Jing took the initiative to greet him: "Mr. Ji Xun is early." ”

Ji Xun was also stunned for a moment, and also responded: "Well, it's early." ”

When the corpse collector was always with the corpse, no one spoke.

Now that someone suddenly greeted him, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

And the expressions of Nanjing's two companions were a little wary.

They could hear Nanjing knocking on the door last night.

Probably in the eyes of the two, Ji Xun felt that he was a liar who deceived the little girl's feelings?

The two of them didn't say anything with cold faces, turned their heads and walked downstairs.

Nan Jing bowed slightly apologetically to Ji Xun, and didn't speak, but it made people understand: The partners have no malicious intentions, Mr. Ji Xun, please don't mind.

Ji Xun didn't pay attention to it at all, and went downstairs with him.

It was said that it would leave at six o'clock, but at a quarter past six it was only then that a group of idle hunters had assembled.

Then it's time to hurry.

A group of people arrived at the Nuggets Pier in a troop carrier.

Ji Xun also took the steam cable car that crossed the abyssal rift for the second time.

Looking at the upside-down rain and the cracks in the world, I was still shocked.

Then a group of more than fifty people and a pile of supplies boarded the steam train filled with hunters and mercenaries.

This time it's not going to the Devil's Cross to the west,

Rather, there is a new relic called "Thunder Fortress" to the north.

During the long ride, Ji Xun was not idle, and he kept watching the medical classics he borrowed from Nanjing last night.

After all, it was borrowed, and it was better to pay it back if I read it earlier.

Nan Jing is very well-behaved, sitting next to him, and occasionally chatting about a few words of medical-related knowledge.

But Ji Xun's behavior of reading books on the train was a bit pretentious in the eyes of her two partners.

Doctor?

Where do you look like a doctor?

I don't know what kind of lame excuse for borrowing books is used to get close to other girls?

Ji Xunquan didn't see it.

During this time, Nanjing also wanted to ease the relationship between several people, but found that it had no effect.

Her two companions were increasingly wary.

And Ji Xun is not interested in easing this worthless interpersonal relationship.

The four of them just got along awkwardly all the way.

This time, another five hours.

The train arrives at Thunder Fortress.

The ruins here are not as large as the Demon Cross, and are just a military fortress.

It seems that there was also a war, and the building was very badly damaged, and it was in ruins.

However, where there was a war in ancient times, the appearance rate of the extradimensional space would be higher.

This fortress has also recently become a popular relic for many hunters and mercenary groups to clear the wasteland.

As a result, a large hunter camp was built.

But Ji Xun's destination this time is not a fortress.

After the railway reached the end of the line, the group switched into troop carriers and cleaned up some of the less tricky ghouls and aberrations along the way.

After a few more hours of driving, a group of more than fifty people and a large number of supplies arrived in a dark mountain col with no name.

Large forces of the Black Wolf Hunters have set up a makeshift camp here with infantry vehicles and armor plates.

The campfire was very strong and crowded.

"Here we are! Everyone get off! ”

"Brothers, come and help unload supplies."

“.”

Ji Xun and the hunters got out of the troop carrier.

After a few hours of jolting, his feet were on the ground again, and he let out a long breath of turbid air.

Observe the surroundings of the camp.

This is a real wilderness, and danger lurks everywhere in the darkness.

Just by glancing at these few glances, Ji Xun saw some monsters with green eyes flickering around the camp, coveting something. But he was afraid of the bonfire and didn't dare to approach.

Before he came, he had learned about this "Black Wolf Group".

This is a veteran mercenary group registered by the Hunter Guild for several years, and it has a good reputation.

Medium-sized, about seven or eight hundred people.

There are about three hundred here, and it's a subgroup.

The leader of the team is the deputy head of the second order, what is the name of "Red Wolf" Rako.

This group has various class card templates for [4 of Spades - Beastwalker], so almost the entire group is a hunter of this class sequence.

They are staying here, and they are all here for the werewolf material.

That's pretty much the information.

Ji Xun observed, and at a glance saw the cave at the foot of the mountain not far away.

There is a spatial vortex of distorted light at the entrance of the cave, which is naturally the [Greedy Mine Cave].

This is the most common entrance to the extradimensional space.

This is the benefit of land reclamation, as long as the extradimensional space is discovered, this is private property.

Of course, only if you have the strength to hold this space.

This is also one of the biggest advantages of large hunter groups and mercenary groups.

To some extent, the extradimensional space is a series of mineral deposits.

As long as it is developed properly, it will continue to generate revenue.

Not long after Ji Xun and his party got out of the car.

A table was set up in front of the tent not far away.

The captain of a black wolf regiment greeted straight to the point: "Okay, all new friends, 20,000 yuan per person, pay the money first and then enter." ”

As soon as the words fell, fifty people walked over consciously.

Ji Xun also lined up behind the three of Nanjing, ready to pay the money.

That's right.

This is a copy that requires a ticket to explore!

This approach is common in the development of some large extradimensional spaces.

Extradimensional spaces with difficulty exceeding B-level are generally rarely cleared at one time.

I can never even get an S evaluation.,Just rely on the number of times to wipe out the space.。

Exploration means casualties.

This kind of personnel attrition is unbearable even for the top hunter group.

What's more, the hidden plot trigger does not only rely on strength, but also on chance and luck.

So there is a need for some "external forces".

When the Wasteland Hunter Group finds that it encounters a space that it can't solve, it will issue a recruitment for joint exploration in the Hunter Union.

Borrow recruited lone hunters and small teams to increase space exploration and reduce their own casualties.

Although you will lose some of the treasures produced by the space, the tickets are also the most stable cash flow for the hunter group, and they also reduce their own casualties.

It's a mutual benefit.

In addition, not eating alone will not cause some unnecessary trouble.

A group of hunters also came to this space, although the ticket price of 20,000 yuan is not a small amount for ordinary people.

But it's also an opportunity to make a big deal small.

The output of this [Greedy Mine] is considerable.

Skill cards, rare ores, werewolf materials, ancient potion recipes.

If you can really produce a skill card, 20,000 will become at least 1 million.

Or draw rare materials, special items, etc.

The higher the Cataclysm level cap, the better the rewards for clearing gacha.

It's not that there hasn't been that kind of card draw.

The clearance evaluation is obviously very low, but you can draw a very rare thing with a card draw.

Get rich overnight.

Thinking of Emperor Ou, Ji Xun glanced at Miss Maruki who was in front of him with a slightly strange expression.

Nanjing seemed to be aware, turned around, and blinked: "What's wrong?" ”

Ji Xun shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”

While collecting money, someone on the other side of the table was explaining the precautions for entering the space.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me make it clear to you first, this [Greedy Mine] D-level difficulty has been locked. Now it's C-level difficulty, and the current mortality rate is about 20%, so you can enter after thinking clearly. Don't have problems when the time comes, and say that our Black Wolf Regiment is not kind. ”

Ji Xun listened with the same expression.

Grade C or D are fine, but they are all excessively difficult anyway.

Instead, he listened to the mortality rate and thought of something else.

As long as the alien space is not cleared with "S evaluation", it can be entered repeatedly.

But it's not an infinite brush either.

The space itself seems to have a hidden detection mechanism.

The essence is to encourage hunters to obtain treasures by taking risks.

INSTEAD OF INSATIABLE CARD BUG SWIPING MONEY.

If you brush too many times, the space will disappear, or it will lock up on this low-level difficulty, and the difficulty of entering the space will increase bizarrely, causing huge casualties

Ji Xun has seen a lot of introductions related to the alien space recently.

He also found a very strange place.

Theoretically, the Xenodimensional space is the same as a copy of the game.

The more times you farm, the more intelligence you have, the less difficult it becomes.

Then after the intelligence is enough, even if you can clear the customs with zero injuries, the mortality rate will be lower and lower.

But the opposite is true.

In any other-dimensional space, once you repeatedly enter the brush material and do not trigger a new plot, there will inevitably be a probability of death.

Even on the lowest difficulty, there is always a certain percentage of people who die.

This "guaranteed" mortality rate seems to be an unspoken rule that many experienced hunters know.

It is also the most important reason why the hunter group wants to recruit outsiders to explore together.

The people of the Black Wolf Regiment continue to explain:

"Our regiment will send a small team to follow you into the space, but we will not interfere with everyone's actions. As a reminder, this is a team mode, and if you want to survive to the end, it's best not to go it alone. Also, don't trigger the hidden plot at random to increase the difficulty of the main story. If you find a special plot, be sure to report it to your temporary captain as soon as possible. Of course, if valuable new information is provided, our regiment will also have a bounty reward, up to one million."

"Our main mission this time was to explore the second floor of the mine. When everyone comes out, be sure to bring out a piece of iron ore of 17 quality or higher. Otherwise, we will charge an additional 100,000 tickets. ”

"One last word. This other-dimensional space is a fantasy story mode, which can only use revolvers and normal bullets, and the space rules prohibit any mechanical equipment that is beyond the technological level of the era. ”

“.”

Ji Xun is the first time to participate in this kind of paid exploration.

Listen carefully to the rules.

"Iron ore of quality 17" should only be produced in a specific place.

This also puts an end to some guys who only go in and want to pick up benefits, and don't want to take risks at all to steal chickens.

And what happens to report a special plot and buy back new information at a price, it is obviously a small calculation made by these guys in the Black Wolf Regiment.

Hunters are encouraged to explore some high-risk areas to increase their exploration, as well as increase their own intelligence base.

Finally, the man added: "If you need information, come to me and buy it." We have detailed information on how to trigger side quests and what materials you can get by completing which tasks. ”

The intelligence is divided into three grades: 30,000, 60,000, and 100,000.

The content varies greatly.

Although each entry will randomly trigger some "chance plots", the general theme is the same.

Intelligence means survival and yield.

The mortality rate of this [Greedy Mine] first-order spell card master 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 information.

Ji Xun's goal is silver materials, which can easily cost millions in the market, and this intelligence fee must still be paid.

What's more, the last time in 407 space, Chu Jiu showed him the difference between having intelligence and not having intelligence.

The three of Nanjing also have this plan.

So the four of them bought a piece of information for 100,000 together.

Ji Xun didn't take advantage of anyone, nor did he pretend to be arrogant, and paid a quarter of the intelligence fee.

It's not just them, almost everyone, even if three or five people get together, will buy the most detailed information.

Whoever buys the information will not share it with outsiders.

The Black Wolf Regiment has made another million dollars in income this time.

After the robbery, Ji Xun suddenly felt that the information in everyone's hands was the same, and it seemed that it was not worth so much money in an instant.

After a short while, after a brief reading of the information, a group of people came to the cave next to the camp.

Led by the people of the Black Wolf Regiment, everyone rushed in.

The surrounding situation changed, and Ji Xun found that he had appeared outside the walls of a dimly lit town.

"You've entered the Mine of Greed"

"Current Cataclysm Level C, Mortality Rate: 20.4%"

"Space Exploration Progress: 61.1%"

"Special Rule: Prohibit Technological Weapons Beyond the Space Age Level"

"Keywords: Plot Exploration"

"Clue: The Burial Hill Mines have been producing high-quality iron ore for hundreds of years, with the occasional precious Mithril ore. But a few months ago, a horrific group of werewolves appeared near the town, hunting down absenteeism and killing the town's inhabitants. The knights were unable to get rid of these monsters, so they had to use bounties to turn to the witchers who had come from afar to clear out the monsters in the mines."

"Mission: You and your teammates play the role of witchers from afar, your mission is to hunt werewolves and investigate the truth about the mutation in the mines, 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 couldn't wait to swarm into the town.

They want to be the first to get the most easily harvested from the information.

I'm afraid that if I go late, my things will become people's.

Ji Xun didn't act in a hurry.

In his opinion, as long as there is truly valuable intelligence and high-yield side quests, the Black Wolf Group must be left for himself.

Instead of competing with hunters for those small profits, it is better to think more about how to dig deep into the plot.

After all, the information doesn't say how the silver-quality werewolf material came out.

The other hunters had already left, and Ji Xun was still carefully looking at the content that appeared on the enlightenment.

No matter what the space, this is the most accurate information.

At this time, Nan Jing and her two companions also came over.

Nan Jing asked kindly: "Mr. Ji Xun, we are going to the town now to look for information, do you want to go together?" ”

Ji Xun had his own exploration plan, and at the moment one was more suitable, so he politely refused: "No, you guys go first." I'm going to read the intelligence a little more. ”

Nan Jing didn't say much, "Oh, then let's go to town first." Mr. Ji Xun, take care. ”

Looking at his partner's "ghostly mind", the two companions behind Nanjing sighed slightly and shook their heads.

The three turned and left.

Ji Xun's purpose for coming to the space this time is a calamity-level werewolf, and he is not in a hurry about the harvest in the town.

As soon as the person left, at this time, Ji Xun thought about testing the rules of space.

He casually took out an ordinary grenade, pulled out the safe, and threw it in the corner.

With a "bang", the grenade exploded into flames.

But strangely, there were no traces left on the ground near the grenade.

Ji Xun walked over, but easily kicked over the earthen wall.

Looking at this situation, he muttered, "Is this the restriction of space rules?"

The grenade explodes normally, but it cannot damage anything in this extradimensional space.

"It's a pity that this grenade seems to only blow up the 'companion'."

Ji Xun felt a pity.

He always has a lot of high-powered bombs in his storage ring, and if he really wants to be able to use them, not to mention first-order monsters, even second-order monsters have a certain probability of being killed.

But I tried it just now, and it wasn't useless.

At least the ammunition fragment had scratched a scratch on him, and it hurt.

In other words, this grenade can be used on hunters who enter space.

Is the Black Wolf Hunters reputable?

Ji Xun didn't really believe it.

There are all kinds of people in the City of Innocence, but only good people are scarce.

In the distance, the three of Nanjing, who hadn't gone far, also happened to see the scene of Ji Xun testing the grenade.

Mo Feng scoffed at this behavior.

Ah Yao also said: "I guess he thought this was a space to kill monsters with firearms." It's reckless to come without even seeing the recruitment restrictions. ”

Nanjing didn't speak, her eyebrows were trimmed slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
