Looking forward to another world.

Chapter 652 "Grain Depot"

The so-called grain depot refers to the supply space given to monsters by the dungeon.

Although monsters are born from dungeons, they are also life.

If it is life, then you will be thirsty, hungry, and want to drink and eat.

Most of the monsters in the dungeon need to drink and eat, and only non-living monsters such as Earthborn can avoid this requirement.

Thus, the Grain Bank was born.

There are the nutrients and food that monsters need, so that monsters that need water and food can use the resources to survive.

The monsters basically ingest the liquid provided by the dungeon mother body to fill their stomachs. Only some monsters will hunt adventurers for food, or kill each other and eat the flesh of other monsters.

There are grain depots like this on every floor of the dungeon, and there are more than one, but they are all located on the outermost edge of the floor, so few adventurers will deviate from the main route and run to the grain depot go.

Ya Sifei told Li Ge that there was something wrong with the grain depot on the 24th floor.

"That's what the mysterious magician told us." Ya Sifei said to Li Ge: "He said that the same incident happened on the 30th floor in the past, just because the 30th floor is the lower floor, and you can reach it." There are only a handful of adventurers there, so the news has been controlled by the guild, and it has not spread widely."

"At that time, the phenomenon of monster surge was suspected to be related to the food depot on the 30th floor."

"The magician also said that the members of the Ganesha Familia that he entrusted found the suspicious item there and brought it to the 18th floor."

That being the case, the monster surge phenomenon on the 24th floor is likely to be the same as that on the 30th floor, and the problem lies in the grain depot.

"Then... shall we go to the grain depot?"

Ais confirmed to Asfi.

"That's right." Yasifei nodded, and said, "Since the problem is most likely to be in the grain depot, it is natural to start the investigation from the grain depot."

Speaking of this, Asfi changed her language.

"The question now is that there are three grain depots on the 24th floor, which are located in the southwest, southeast and north respectively. Which grain bureau should we start investigating?"

The reason why I say this is because the 24th floor is very large.

The further you go down, the higher the number of floors, and the farther the distance from the surface, the larger the floor area in the dungeon will be.

The 24th floor is the middle floor, but the occupied area there is already half of the total area of ​​Gala Li.

In such a vast space, if you want to investigate all three grain depots and count the time when you encounter monsters, it may take a lot of effort.

Not to mention, the 19th to 24th floors are known as the "big tree labyrinth" area. Not only does it have complex natural scenery, but the roads are also intricate. Walking here, sometimes even the direction may be confused. I don't know, let alone investigate the three grain depots located on the edge of the floor.

If you want to investigate all three grain depots, it will take a long time.

Yasifei intends to avoid this, so she plans to select one of the three grain depots to investigate.

If selected, it can save most of the time, labor and even materials.

If it is not selected, it may drag on for a long time.

"This is the problem we are currently facing, and it is also all the information we have." Ya Sifei looked at Li Ge and said, "What's your opinion?"

Ais also looked at Li Ge.

To this...

"Let's go to the grain depot in the north."

Li Ge answered without the slightest hesitation.

"...May I ask why?"

Ya Sifei was speechless for a while, and then asked.

"There is no reason." Li Ge shook his head, and said, "Intuition."

intuition?

Including Asfi, all the adventurers present were speechless except for Ais.

Isn't this answer too unreliable?

The people who were thinking this way didn't know that Li Ge was not unreliable, but he directly grasped the most standard answer.

No way, who made him familiar with the plot of the original work?

He knew very well that the grain depot that had the accident on the 24th floor was the one to the north, and he knew exactly what was happening in that grain depot.

Therefore, Li Ge directly made this decision.

"Anyway, you have no idea, just follow my intuition."

The calm words made Asfi sigh again.

...I always feel that [Almighty] seems to be very hard at ordinary times, and I am used to sighing.

Aisi, who saw this scene, went astray thinking about such things.

"Since you said so, let's start the investigation from the grain depot in the north." Ya Sifei shrugged her shoulders in a resigned tone and said, "You guys are the ones on our side for this entrustment." The main force, our position is to assist you."

Hearing this, Ace interjected cautiously.

"Are you all right?" Aisi whispered, "The 24th floor is already the closest floor to the lower floor..."

The 1st to 12th floors are the upper floors of the dungeon.

The 13th to 24th floors are the middle floors of the dungeon.

The 25th to 36th floors are the end of the dungeon.

Above the 37th floor is the deep layer of the dungeon.

In this case, although the 24th floor is the middle floor, it is the floor closest to the lower floor.

In a word, the level of monsters raging there is not low.

The guild's recommended strategy level for the 24th floor is the highest level of Lv.2, that is, at least one basic ability must reach the stage of CS.

At the same time, because the speed at which monsters emerge from the middle layer is far faster than that from the upper layer, the monsters that appear on the 19th to 24th floors, known as the "big tree labyrinth", are also notoriously diverse in each layer. There are all kinds of strange monsters, so the guild also strongly advises that adventurers whose abilities meet the Raiders standard should form a small team before exploring.

If all members of the team can reach the standard ability value of the recommended strategy, then it is best to form a team of three.

Avant-garde, central defender, defender... There must be one adventurer in charge of each position.

But the head of the Hermes family is only Lv.2, and the highest level of members in the family is only Lv.2, most of them are Lv.1.

Is there a way for such an adventurer team to explore on the 24th floor?

Aisi implicitly expressed her concern about this.

however……

"Don't worry about them."

Li Ge dropped another shock bomb at the side.

"All the members of the Hermes Familia lied about their official levels, so their levels are much higher than what they announced, especially the [Almighty] herself. She is not Lv.2, but Lv.4."

As soon as these words came out, the adventurers in the entire tavern immediately stood up again.

Their faces were full of shock and confusion, and they looked at a loss.

Aisi also blinked, and the eyes of the adventurers present changed.

"You, how do you know...!?"

Yasifei also lost her composure and became shaken.

Obviously, what Li Ge said was true.

It is true that all members of the Hermes family are lying about their official ranks.

Just like Li Ge and Ai Si, each upgrade has to be reported to the guild, and the guild will report it. In order to divide the strength indicators of each faction, the guild has the right to control the levels of all adventurers in Orario. They are also obliged to disclose level information to the guild, so that the guild can issue adventurer commissions or compulsory tasks in case of emergency to defend the safety of the city.

Of course, only the level is made public, and other detailed personal information such as basic abilities, developmental abilities, magic, and skills are not obliged to report to the guild.

Personal detailed ability information is confidential, not to mention making it public, even within the same family, it is necessary to conceal it to a certain extent, so as not to be targeted and endanger oneself.

Only grades, which must be reported, cannot be sloppy.

This is also to collect taxes from the major families.

As the official management organization of Orario, the guild naturally has the right to collect taxes from the major families living in the city.

Some have more taxes, some have less, it all depends on the rank of the family.

Yes, there are also ranks in the family.

The guild will classify the major families in the city based on comprehensive factors such as their scale and activity content, and divide them into S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G in the same ability items as God's Grace. , H, I ten grades.

The higher the level, the higher the status of the family in Orario. While enjoying various privileges, they also have to pay more taxes.

For this reason, some family members will deliberately lie about the level of members in order to lower the level of the family members and avoid paying more taxes.

Of course, there are also some family members who chose the same method for other reasons.

The Hermes family is one of them.

In other words, no matter what the purpose is, the Hermes family members who lie about the ranks of the members and deliberately lower the ranks of the family members are evading taxes.

If the guild finds out about this, they will definitely be punished, ranging from a fine to even being sent out of Orario.

The Hermes family is obviously the type that lies particularly badly.

The head of the group, Asfi, revealed that her level was Lv.2, but it turned out to be Lv.4.

The same is true for the members of the Hermes family present, most of them are actually Lv.3.

"It must be for this reason that you were caught by the mysterious magician who belonged to the guild and asked you to assist us in carrying out this commission, right?"

Li Ge ignored Ya Sifei's wavering and the confusion of the adventurers around him, and smiled faintly.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. Just like you said, we are the main combat force this time, and you just need to help from the side."

"Aisi and I will be in charge of the battle."

"As for the investigation of the cause, it's up to you to do it, no problem?"

Faced with Li Ge's words, Ya Sifei was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed for an unknown number of times today.

"I understand."

Ya Sifei regained her composure, found her own pace, nodded, and agreed to Li Ge's plan.

"Then let's go."

Li Ge seemed to see that the magic guide book he wanted had already flown over, and a smile that was no longer indifferent finally appeared on his face.

"Target, layer 24."
