Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 479: Pioneer Horror Story

The third-level fully closed world, the wrong world.

Xin Lailai looked at the contents of the world introduction and read it carefully, not daring to miss any details.

"From the content of the world introduction, although this world has not yet experienced any major disasters, but..."

A few minutes later, Xin Lailai looked at the information in front of him, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

On the surface, this is a normal introduction to a derivative world. Even the camp content is all about the main camps in the Dicuo world. But if you are familiar with the plot of the Dicuo world, you will immediately notice the problem.

According to the content of the world introduction, the current world of Dicuo should be in the stage where the goddess of beauty Freya, because of her failed confession to Bell Crany, the protagonist of the world of Dicuo, gave up on herself and used her own charm power on the entire Orario, forcibly rewriting the entire Orario's adventurer cognition and forcibly binding Bell Crany into her own clan.

Normally speaking, after a while, Hestia, the goddess of the hearth of the Hestia clan to which Bell Crany originally belonged, should complete the arrangement, destroy the charm of the goddess of beauty Freya, and start the climax of the faction war.

At this point in time, Loki's family was indeed on an expedition as a whole and was not in Orario, so they luckily avoided the temptation of the goddess of beauty.

——The problem is that in the original work, Loki's family was just on a normal expedition. Although a lot of things did happen on this expedition in the spin-off of the "Diqu" series, it can never be said to be "trapped"!
"So, the problem is in the dungeon?"

Xin Lailai looked at the introduction to the world in front of him and had a rough judgment in his mind.

The Dicuo world is different from the normal derivative world. In fact, the entire Dicuo world can be seen as two worlds, one large and one small, spliced ​​together. And the small one is not an underground maze that seems to exist only under the maze city of Orario, but a normal world located above the maze.

If you compare the two together, the size of the entire human world is probably less than 1/10 of the size of the underground maze world.

However, despite the huge difference in size, if we calculate by rank, the human world of the Dicuo world is actually the main world, and the underground maze is just a subsidiary world suppressed by the will of the Dicuo main world.
"What a shame. It would be much easier if the problem was on the ground."

Xin Lailai looked at the information in front of him, sighed, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes.

If that ray of abyss breath that has not yet erupted appeared in the human world, it would be much easier to deal with. But now that the problem has appeared in the dungeon, and the entrance to the dungeon is now strictly controlled by the followers of the goddess of beauty Freya, this means that if he wants to enter the dungeon smoothly, he must find a way to break through the blockade of Freya's followers.

And even if the blockade is broken, it is not easy to pass through layers of mazes and successfully reach the abyss that has not yet erupted.

You have to know that the Dicuo world was originally a fifth-level fully open world. From the deeper levels of the maze, a large number of third-level and above monsters began to appear. Even though the Dicuo world has been suppressed to the third level now, and the monsters inside are usually only at the first or second echelon of the same level, once the number increases, even he will most likely have to choose to temporarily avoid the limelight.

In other words, it would be best to organize the manpower before taking action...

Xin Lailai looked at the text information in front of him, squinting his eyes slightly. The several clan forces introduced were reflected in his pupils, and he began to think quickly in his mind.

Once the aura of the abyss lurks in the area deep below the maze, it is basically a fantasy for him to reach it while maintaining his own condition by relying on his own strength alone.

Therefore, the best way is to win over the local combat forces of the Dicuo world, organize a large-scale expedition, use these clans as shields, use them to successfully overcome obstacles on the road, and reach the area eroded by the abyss in the easiest way.

But doing so also has certain risks.

The characters born in the derivative world are not like them, the contractors, who are protected by the mark. If they encounter the power of the abyss, they will basically fall instantly. Once the situation like the Black Four World occurs again, where the entire area is run away by themselves or even attacked from behind, the adventurers he brought into the underground maze will instantly fall into abyss derivatives, becoming a huge obstacle for him to conquer the aura of the abyss.

Or should I sneak in alone or form a sufficiently elite team?

"Ling Yuzi, what do you think..."

Inside the carriage, Xin Lailai was thinking and was about to discuss it with Ling Yuzi when a prompt suddenly popped up in front of him:
[Tip: The main mission has been released, please check the mission content as soon as possible]

main mission?

Oh, I almost forgot this!

Xin Lailai looked at the prompt in front of her, then she remembered that although she had to deal with the abyss breath this time, she entered the world of Dicuo through the normal process, so she still needed to go through the normal main task process.

Just like Yamu in the Black Fourth World, even though the final mission is different from others, what he has to do at the beginning is still the same.

Then, Xin Lailai opened his task interface after a long absence and clicked on the main task at the top to check:
……

[Main Mission: First Ring: Extreme Rescue]

Mission difficulty: LV.20
Mission brief: The Loki clan cannot make it in time, and the world is about to collapse. Try your best to maintain it before it collapses completely!

Mission information: Assist the Hestia family and Bell Crane to break the charm of the goddess of beauty Freya.

Mission duration: 6 days, 23 hours, 56 minutes, 32 seconds

Mission Reward: Attribute Points*5, Paradise Points*100000
Mission penalty: none
*Tip: The current world has been suppressed to a level-three fully open world. The attributes of units in the world cannot exceed 90 points, and skills that exceed level-three strength will be suppressed to level-three strength.

……

Very good, starting with a main quest without penalty is a good sign.

Xin Lailai looked at the first ring of the main task in front of her, which had an extremely generous reward, and nodded slightly, without showing any surprise in her eyes.

From the perspective of rewards, you may think that the first ring of the main task actually rewards 5 attribute points, which is a bit too rich, but don’t forget one extremely important thing:
——He is now undergoing the trial of transcendence in a third-level world as a second-level contractor!
Xin Lailai behaved so calmly because he had absolute confidence in his own strength. In the world of Dicuo, no matter it was humans or monsters, they were extremely biased in adding points and learning skills, and most of the attribute improvements depended on the attribute correction brought about by level sublimation.

Just like what he found said, although the gift system of the Dicuo world is very convenient to upgrade, the upper limit of this thing is really too low.

As for why this is the case, the level upgrade threshold of the Dicuo world's gift system is related to the upper limit of the ability value improvement at each level.

In the world of Dicuo, attributes are not simply represented by one attribute point like in Paradise, but are described together in the form of level + ability value.

Simply put, each level has an energy value progress bar ranging from 0 to 999, and is divided into nine levels from S to I with each level consisting of 100 points.

If I were to describe it in detail, it would probably be something like this:

……

【XXLV.1 Adventurer】

Power: C632
Stamina: E427
Agility: S950
Intelligence: C660
Charm: E470
……

This description may seem very intimidating at first glance, and may give the impression that the adventurer's strength and agility attributes are very different.

But in fact, if you convert the above panel written in the way of the world into the attribute point template in the paradise, you will find that it is not the case at all:

……

【XXLV.1 Adventurer】

Power: 11
Stamina: 9
Agility: 14
Intelligence: 11
Charisma: 9
……

Yes, this is the result of converting the stat point version of the panel that looked very impressive. It seemed that a string of hundreds of numbers appeared at any time, but in fact it was a small character that Xin Lailai could kill instantly with a flick of his finger. As for the meaning of the string of levels and hundreds of numbers, it only takes one step to understand it:

(Ability value × 0.1)%
Yes, this is the correct way to calculate ability values. That thing is not an actual attribute value at all, but a "progress bar" that represents the adventurer's progress at this level.

To put it simply, in the world of Dicuo, there is an upper limit to the growth of ability values ​​at each level.

以一个平均属性为5点的LV.1的冒险者为例，因为LV.1这个阶段的能力成长上限是10点，因此当这名LV.1的冒险者在LV.1阶段的敏捷能力值锻炼到S999后，就意味着他的敏捷属性成功来到了5+10×（999×0.1）%=14.99点。

And if this LV.1 adventurer upgrades his level, he will immediately gain up to 5 points of all attribute corrections, and his attributes will instantly reach the threshold of 19.99 points.

If the 20-point attribute barrier is broken with a little more effort, then this adventurer who is already at LV.2 will have a chance to obtain the barrier breakthrough reward when the 20-point attribute barrier is broken, which is the 'skill' obtained by adventurers in the Dicuo worldview when they upgrade their levels.

This is also the reason why there is a discontinuity in strength between different levels in the world of Dicuo. After all, the gift system of the world of Dicuo gives too many corrections when the level is upgraded, and the attributes that can be improved through hard work at each level are too limited. It can be said that the strength gap between adventurers at each level becomes greater, and it will not gradually become smooth until LV.100, which is equivalent to 7 points of real attributes or more.

At the same time, since leveling up in the world of Dicuo does not actually require all ability values ​​to be raised to S-level (900-999), but only requires one item to reach D-level (500-599), and the others can be promoted even if they remain at I-level (0-99), the attribute imbalance of adventurers in the world of Dicuo can be said to be extremely serious.

For example, if there is a LV.5 adventurer whose other attributes are all level I and whose level will be upgraded as soon as his intelligence reaches level D standing in front of Xin Lailai, then the opponent's attribute panel will be like this:

……

【XXLV.5 Adventurer】

Power: 60
Stamina: 60
Agility: 60
Intelligence: 80 (true attribute)
……

Yes, this is what the weakest LV.5 adventurer in the world of Dicuo looks like. In terms of rank, these LV.5 adventurers can indeed be considered as rank three, but if they really fight...

Xin Lailai could only say that spending one more fireball to solve the problem would be an insult to him.

Of course, this is just an extreme example. A normal LV.5 adventurer who has fought for his life and death all the way here cannot possibly add points so extremely. But even so, in the world of Dicuo, except for the protagonist Bell Crany, other top adventurers generally only train their core attribute ability values ​​to S-level at most, and get promoted by raising other attributes to D or C-level. Those who are more ambitious can only raise them to B-level.

这就导致核心属性那种核心属性已经拉到83、84乃至91、92点真实属性，但其他属性还在80左右的冒险者在地错世界当中比比皆是。

In terms of rank, these LV.5 and LV.6 adventurers could indeed be considered as tier and tier units, but in terms of actual strength...

Xin Lailai could only say that the world of Dicuo was a good place to prove one's strength.

Comparing it with his record of successfully defeating the level 32 White Night Contract, you can roughly imagine what level he is at now in this world of Dicuo that has been suppressed to the third level.

Of course, you still need to pay attention to the monsters in the underground cave, especially those class guardians, who are basically comparable to the first echelon or even the top echelon of the same level, and require a group of adventurers of the same level to solo.

There are also a few adventurers at LV.6 and the only LV.7 adventurer in this period in the original work - Ota of Freya's family.

After being suppressed to the third level, these people will most likely have their basic physical attributes all approaching or reaching the limit of 90 points because their original attributes were too high. You still need to be careful when you meet them.

"Lailai, then I will go look for Liu from Astraea's family first?"

"Well, I will be responsible for finding Asfi of the Hermes family."

In the soul space, the two communicated quickly and had already finalized the next course of action.

Liu, Asfi.

Both of them are important characters in the original novel who assisted Bell Crany in defeating Freya's family in the Freya out of control chapter.

Among them, Liu, who is a member of the elf + Astraea's family, has a close relationship with Bell Crany, the protagonist of the Earthly Witch. It is so close that he almost took over the stock market in the original work. Unfortunately, after the corresponding few volumes, his role began to be drastically reduced, and the stock market fell sharply.

After discussion, they have decided to focus on the main quest for the time being. One reason is that it would be bad if they didn't complete it, and the other reason is that the information given by their trial quest is a bit concise:

……

[Trial Mission: Transcendence]

Mission difficulty: LV.30
Mission brief: Beyond...the limits!
Mission information: Clear the anomalies in this world.

Task deadline: none
Mission Reward: Proof of Transcendence
Mission penalty: none
……

This level of simplicity is even comparable to his missions in the Black Bullet World. In this case, Xin Lailai can only prioritize the main missions with clear purposes and guidance.

"Then Ling Yuzi, let's first..."

[Prompt: It has been detected that all participants in this world have arrived, and the communication channel for the derivative world has been opened]

Suddenly, a cold reminder sound rang out of the blue, which made Xin Lailai stunned.

All here?

What the hell?

Isn't this his trial world? Why is there such a thing as everyone being here?
Almost the moment he heard the prompt, a strong sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in Xin Lailai's mind, so he quickly opened the communication channel and checked:
……

Yamu (Pioneer): “…”

Deathbringer (Pioneer): "..."

Black Sword (Pioneer): "You..."

Dao Ji (Pioneer): "Haha, I didn't expect Brother Black Sword to be here too? What a coincidence!"

Black Sword (Pioneer) "..."

……

Xin Lailai looked at the extremely familiar names on the screen and the avatars that were flashing wildly in her friend list, and fell silent. Only her eyelids kept twitching, as if foreshadowing something.

There is an old saying among the pioneers:

In a world, the appearance of one non-team pioneer is called a surprise, the appearance of two non-team pioneers is called astonishment, and the appearance of three non-team pioneers is called fright.

As for the simultaneous appearance of three or more pioneers in one world, without any prior discussion...

—Sorry, that’s already a horror story.
