Cataclysm King

Chapter 81 The Greedy Mine
Before I knew it, it was a night.

Although meditation is boring, it can replace most of your sleep time when you are proficient.

Even if you just sit all night, you can be sure to be energetic.

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

He looked at the time on his pocket watch, it was five fifty.

I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up, and ate some dry food, it was exactly six o'clock.

Putting on a gas mask and carrying a hunter backpack, he also opened the door.

As soon as she walked out, she saw Nan Jing and her two companions in the corridor.

Watching Ji Xun walk out, Nan Jing took the initiative to say hello, "Mr. Ji Xun."

Ji Xun also froze for a moment, and responded: "Well, morning."

When the corpse collector stayed with the corpse all the time, no one spoke.

He is still not used to being greeted suddenly now.

And Nan Jing's two companions looked a little wary.

They could hear the sound of Nan Jing knocking on the door last night.

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

The two turned their heads and went downstairs without saying a word with cold faces.

However, Nan Jing bowed slightly apologetically towards Ji Xun, and did not speak, but it was understood: the partners did not mean anything malicious, Mr. Ji Xun, please don't mind.

Ji Xun didn't care about it at all, and then went downstairs.

It was said to start at six o'clock, but at a quarter past six, a group of idle hunters had just assembled.

Then it's time to hurry.

A group of people took a troop carrier to the Nuggets Wharf.

Ji Xun also took the steam cable car that crossed the abyss 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 50 people and a pile of supplies boarded the steam train full of hunters and mercenaries.

This time it's not Devil's Crossing to the west,

It's a new ruin called "Thunder Fortress" in the north.

During the long ride, Ji Xun was not idle, he was always reading the medical classics he borrowed from Nanjing last night.

After all, it was borrowed, and it would be better to read it early and pay it back.

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

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

doctor?

Where do you look like a doctor?
It's not obvious what kind of lame excuse is used to borrow books to get close to other girls?
Ji Xunquan pretended not to see it.

During this period, Nan Jing also wanted to ease the relationship between several people, but found that it didn't work.

Her two companions grew increasingly wary.

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

The four of them got along awkwardly along the way.

In a flash, it was another five hours.

The train arrived at Thunder Fortress.

The scale of the ruins here is not as large as that of Devil's Crossing, it is just a military fortress.

It seems that it has also experienced war, and the building was destroyed very seriously, with broken walls and ruins.

However, in places where wars took place in ancient times, the occurrence rate of different-dimensional spaces will be higher.

This fortress is also a popular relic where many hunter groups and mercenary groups flock to open up wasteland recently.

Therefore, a large-scale hunter camp was built.

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

After the railway reached the end, the group switched to a troop carrier and cleaned up some less troublesome ghouls and aberrations along the way.

After driving for a few more hours, a group of more than fifty people and a large amount of supplies came to an unnamed dark mountain depression.

The large troops of the Black Wolf Hunters have already set up a temporary camp here with infantry vehicles and armor plates.

The campfire was very lively and crowded with people.

"We're here! Everyone get out!"

"Brothers, come help unload the supplies."

"."

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

After bumping for several hours, his feet stepped on the ground again, and he let out a long breath of foul air.

Take a look around the camp.

This is already a real wilderness, and dangers lurk everywhere in the darkness.

Just by glancing at these few times, Ji Xun saw the green eyes of some unknown monsters flickering around the camp, coveting something.But he was afraid of the bonfire and did not dare to approach it.

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

This is a veteran mercenary group that has been registered with the Hunter Union for several years and has a good reputation.

Medium scale, about 800 people.

There are about [-] people here, which is a sub-group.

The team is led by the deputy head of the second rank, called "Red Wolf" Reiko.

This group has [Spades 4-Beast Walker] various professional card templates, so the entire group is almost all hunters of this professional sequence.

They stayed here, and they all came here for the werewolf material.

That's about it for the information.

Ji Xun took a look and saw the cave at the foot of the mountain not far away.

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

This is the most common entrance to a different-dimensional space.

This is the benefit of opening up wasteland. As long as a different-dimensional space is discovered, it is 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, different-dimensional spaces are like mines.

As long as it is developed properly, it will generate continuous income.

It wasn't long before Ji Xun and his party got out of the car.

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

A small leader of the black wolf group greeted straight to the point: "Okay, newcomers, [-] yuan per person, pay first and then enter."

As soon as the words fell, 50 people walked over consciously.

Ji Xun also lined up behind the three of Nan Jing, ready to pay.

That's right.

This is a dungeon that needs to pay a ticket to explore!
This method is very common in the development of some large-scale different-dimensional spaces.

Dimensional spaces that are more difficult than B-level are generally rarely cleared at one time.

Even never being able to get an S rating, the space is wiped out only by the number of times.

Exploration means casualties.

This kind of personnel loss is too much for even the top hunter group.

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

So some "external force" is needed.

When the wasteland hunter group finds that they encounter a space that they cannot solve, they will announce the recruitment of joint exploration in the hunter union.

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

Although part of the treasures produced in the space will be lost, tickets can be regarded as the most stable cash flow for the hunter group, and they can also reduce their own casualties.

It is mutually beneficial.

Furthermore, not eating alone will not cause some unnecessary troubles.

A group of hunters also came for this space, although the entrance fee of [-] yuan is not a small amount for ordinary people.

But it is also an opportunity to make a big difference with a small one.

The output of this [Greedy Mine] is considerable.

Skill cards, rare ores, werewolf materials, ancient potion formulas.
If a skill card can be issued, at least [-] will become a million.

Or draw a lottery to get rare materials, special items, etc.

The higher the cataclysmic level upper limit, the better the rewards for drawing cards.

It's not that there has never been that kind of card draw Ohuang.

The customs clearance evaluation is obviously very low, but a very rare item can be drawn by drawing a card.

Get rich overnight.

Thinking of Ouhuang, Ji Xun took a slightly weird look at Miss Wanzitou who was in front of him.

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 desk was explaining the precautions for entering the space.

"Everyone, let me make it clear to everyone that this [Greedy Mine] D-level difficulty has been locked. Entering now is a C-level difficulty, and the current death rate is about 20%. Everyone, think clearly before entering. Don't go wrong when the time comes. It is not kind to say that our black wolf group is not kind."

Ji Xun listened with the same expression.

Both C and D grades are fine, but they are all too difficult anyway.

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

As long as the different-dimensional space is not cleared by "S evaluation", you can enter it repeatedly.

But it's not unlimited swipes.

The space itself seems to have a hidden judgment mechanism.

The essence is to encourage hunters to obtain treasures through adventure.

Instead of insatiable card bugs to swipe money.

If you brush too many times, the space will disappear, or like this low-level difficulty will be locked, and the difficulty of entering the space will increase strangely, causing huge casualties
Ji Xun has recently seen a lot of introductions related to different-dimensional spaces.

He also found a very strange place.

Theoretically speaking, a different-dimensional space is just like a copy of a game.

The more times you brush, the more information you have, the less difficult it will be.

Then with enough information, even zero-injury clearance can be achieved, and the death rate will be lower and lower.

But the fact is just the opposite.

Any extra-dimensional space, once it is repeatedly entered to brush materials, without triggering a new plot, there must be a probability of death.

Even if it is the lowest level of difficulty, a certain percentage of people will die.

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

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

The members of the Black Wolf Group continued to explain:
"Our regiment will send a small team to follow everyone into the space, but will not interfere with everyone's actions. Remind everyone, this is a team mode. If you want to survive to the end, it is best not to act alone. Also, don't trigger the hidden plot to upgrade the main line at will Difficulty. If you find a special plot, be sure to report it to your temporary captain as soon as possible. Of course, if you provide valuable new information, our regiment will also have a bounty reward, up to a 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 higher. Otherwise, we will charge an additional [-] tickets."

"One last reminder. This different-dimensional space is a magical plot mode. Only revolvers and ordinary bullets can be used. The rules of the space prohibit any mechanical equipment that exceeds 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 one by one.

"Iron ore with quality 17" should only be produced in specific places.

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

And that report when encountering a special plot, buy back new information at a price, is obviously a small plan by the guys of the Black Wolf Group.

Encourage hunters to explore some high-risk areas, increase the degree of exploration, and also increase their own intelligence base.

In the end, the man added: "If you need information, come to me to buy it. How to trigger the branch line, what materials can be obtained by completing which tasks, we have detailed information here."

The information is divided into three levels: [-], [-], and [-].

The content varies greatly.

Although some "opportunity plots" are randomly triggered every time you enter, the main line is roughly the same.

Intelligence means survivability and profitability.

This [Greedy Mine] Tier [-] spell card master's death rate is not low, no one dares to be careless.

So in addition to the ticket money, these dozens of people will also spend another sum of information.

Ji Xun's goal is silver materials, which can easily cost millions in the market, and this information fee still has to 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 Nan Jing also planned this way.

So the four of them bought a [-] piece of information together.

Ji Xun didn't take advantage of others, nor pretended to be arrogant, and paid a quarter of the information fee.

Not only them, but almost everyone, even three or five people together, will buy the most detailed information.

Those who bought information would not share it with outsiders.

The black wolf group now has another million in income.

After looting, Ji Xun also suddenly felt that the information in everyone's hands was the same, as if it was not worth so much money in an instant.

Not long after, after simply reading the information, a group of people came to the cave next to the camp.

Led by the members of the Black Wolf Group, everyone filed in.

The surrounding scene changed, and Ji Xun found himself outside the walls of a dark town.

"You have entered the "Greedy Mine""

"Current catastrophe level C, death 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: Burial 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 and killed absentees. Massacred the residents of the small town. The knights also failed to wipe out these monsters, so they could only ask the witcher from afar to clean up the monsters in the mine with a bounty.”

"Mission: You and your teammates play the role of a demon hunter from afar. Your mission is to hunt werewolves and investigate the truth of the mine mutation. 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 small town.

They want to grab the easiest gains in the intelligence as soon as possible.

I'm afraid that if I go too late, my things will become someone else's.

Ji Xun didn't act in a hurry.

In his opinion, as long as there are truly valuable intelligence and high-yield side missions, the Black Wolf Group must keep them for themselves.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ji Xun has his own plan, and currently alone is more suitable, so he politely declined: "No, you go first. I still need to read the information."

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

Seeing his partner's "obsessed with ghosts", the black knight named Mo Feng behind Nan Jing snorted coldly, finally couldn't hold back his disdain, and said: "Let's go, Xiao Nan. Your expert friend seems to disdain to be with you. Together we will."

A Yao didn't speak.

But obviously the two of them had lost any affection for this stranger.

The three turned and left.

Ji Xun didn't take what he said just now to heart.

Two people who don't even know each other are not eye-catching at all.

In case of hostility, you don't have to be soft when you beat him.

As soon as the person left, Ji Xun wanted to test the rules of space.

Then he took out an ordinary grenade, pulled out the insurance, and threw it in the corner.

With a bang, the grenade exploded into flames.

But the strange thing is that the ground near the grenade left no trace at all.

Ji Xun walked over, but easily kicked over the dirt wall with one kick.

Looking at the situation, he murmured, "Is this the limitation of space rules?"

The grenade can explode normally, but it cannot cause damage to anything in this different dimension.

"It's a pity that this grenade can only bomb 'companions'."

Ji Xun felt a little pity.

He always keeps a lot of high-power bombs in his storage ring. If they can be used, not to mention the first-order monsters, even the second-order monsters have a certain probability of being killed.

But I tried it just now, and it's not useless.

At least the bullet splinters had scratched him, and it hurt.

In other words, this grenade can be used against hunters who enter 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 only good people are scarce.

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

Mo Feng scoffed at this behavior, and said sneeringly: "Hey, that master wants to see if he can blow up a werewolf with a grenade."

A Yao also said: "Probably he thought it was a space to kill monsters with firearms. It's really reckless to come here without seeing the recruitment restrictions clearly."

"Just an apprentice, I really think that firearms are my own strength."

Mo Feng sneered.

He turned to Nan Jing again: "Xiao Nan, I bet that someone will find all kinds of excuses to form a team with us, do you believe it?"

"."

Nan Jing listened and said nothing.

Although she felt that Ji Xun's actions must have deep meaning, she was inevitably worried.

After all, he is just a card master apprentice.

Good at decrypting, not necessarily good at fighting.

And it's also a space for teamwork.

The weakest werewolf in the different-dimensional space needs four or five card master apprentices to jointly kill it.

It is very difficult for a lone traveler to survive even if he is a first-level spell card master.

Nan Jing guessed in his heart, could it be because of his companion that Mr. Ji Xun did not agree?

Ok,
It must be embarrassing!
But a man's face is very important, and his life is even more important.

The kind psychic lady has decided to invite him alone when she enters the town.

Then it won't be so embarrassing.
