Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 498 Store
One day later, in the void, somewhere.

"Ah, how long will this last, Baldy? Will something unexpected happen again?"

In the pitch-black deep sky, a somewhat impatient voice sounded from a deserted meteorite platform. An extremely sloppy woman with a ponytail was seen rolling around on the uneven meteorite platform as if she was addicted.

"Do you think everyone is as stupid as you who can pay soul coins for space-time power just to buy a bun? Take it!"

Om-! !

Suddenly, a tall figure with golden lightning all over his body rushed over from a distance. In a flash, he crossed a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers. After landing steadily on the platform, he threw out a large box that was three meters square, and said unhappily to the ponytailed female fighter who was rolling on the ground:

"Okay, I've got your stuff back. Hurry up and check the stuff. If it's ok, we can leave now. We might still be able to catch the last teleportation tower!"

"My goodness! Woohoo, it's finally here, that's great! How am I going to survive this holiday without you!"

Seeing the bald man bringing her express delivery, the female fighter who was rolling on the ground suddenly jumped up from the ground and hugged the big box in front of her like an octopus, looking like she couldn't let it go.

"By the way, what on earth did you buy, Chimp Brain? Why are you so obsessed with it?"

"This is the latest generation of immersive gaming cabin from Void Virtual Company. It's still in internal testing. I spent a lot of effort to get it!"

"What! When did you get this thing?! I wanted to buy it but failed! No, where are you going on vacation this time? I'm going to your place and use your gaming cabin!"

"No way! And you shorty, didn't you say you were going to travel? Why are you coming to my place? I only have garlic to serve you!"

"Garlic is garlic, it's not like I can't tolerate it! For the sake of the latest generation of game cabins, I'll accept it even if you sprinkle the holy water of the Sun God all over my room!"

"you……"

Before the white-haired girl could finish her words, two large hands suddenly reached out from behind her head and grabbed her and the female fighter next to her on the forehead, then lifted the two women up like chickens.

"I say, didn't you two hear what I just said? I want to hurry up and don't want anyone to waste my time. Do you understand?"

"It hurts, it hurts, Baldy, please let go, I feel like my skull is going to crack!"

"Captain...Captain! I admit my mistake! I promise not to cause trouble again before we reach the teleportation tower!"

"Me...Me too! I promise not to fight with the shorty again!"

Pfft!
After the two assurances, 04296, who was holding the two women and looking like he was going to smash their heads, snorted coldly, loosened his hands, and let the two women fall to the ground, then looked at Baihua beside him:

"Baihua, is it too late now?"

"If we use the Destroying Teleportation Array, we should be able to reach the teleportation tower in time before the next teleportation starts."

"Then use it."

"No! Captain, I was wrong! Please let me go. I suddenly don't want to take a ride anymore!"

"That's right! Calm down, Baldy! At worst, we can just wait another half a month. There's no need to be so anxious."

"Baihua, start." "Understood."

“Help! Aaaaaahh ...

Boom!
Screams like ghosts and wolves howling came from the meteorite platform. The next second, accompanied by an extremely violent space fluctuation, a large number of meteorite debris near the meteorite platform were instantly shattered into pieces, and finally were drawn into the space cracks.

……

Void, white night channel.

"Right, right! Ji, Bubu, why are you dead again!"

"Hey, hey! Jila, hold on, if you just hold on... Shit, we're done!"

"Huh?! Wait! Oh my god, it flipped over! Xiaobai and Xiaopu are awesome!"

On a platform that was isolated from the outside world by magic, an excited scream broke out from the platform. A pitch-black magic eagle was seen lying in a specially customized game cabin. It was so excited that it clapped its claws repeatedly, and then...

Hiss——!!

Perhaps because it was too excited, the magic eagle failed to control its strength for a moment, and its sharp claws instantly cut the five-person game cabin in front of it, which was strong enough to withstand the full force of the top strongman, into strips.

"..."

"Woof!!"

The big dog that looked like a husky nearby saw the miserable state of the game cabin, suddenly jumped up from his seat, and yelled angrily at the magic eagle.

"Ahem, Bubu, don't worry. It's just a game cabin. Didn't we just win the game? When the time comes, you can contact the organizer and ask them if they can send us a few more game cabins when they send the prizes!"

"Wang!"

"Oh, it's okay. Although we can't bully others by taking advantage of our power, this is a hint. Do you understand? Besides, you see Xiaobai and Xiaopu are still using virtual helmets. Why not take this opportunity to change their equipment as well?"

"Wang..."

"Look, isn't this good? Killing two birds with one stone, right, Jila?"

"Crunch! (Sound of chewing potato chips)"

"Okay, Jila has agreed, 2 to 1. Bubu, you can just tell them that you don't need to give them the direct sales version, but the internal testing version! Do you understand the internal testing? In that case, we are just helping them test the product out of kindness, and it doesn't count as bribery."

The magic eagle had a nasty grin on its beak, and it was flirting with the big dog with its wings, giving earnest advice like a caring big brother, while its other wing was quietly chewing potato chips. The insect girl with a pair of antennae on her head, who looked a little silly, made a 'wing gesture' similar to a thumbs-up.

……

……

At the same time, the world is wrong.

[Hint: Elite unit Minotaur*1 has been killed, Orario camp reputation +22]

[Hint: You have obtained "Horn of the Minotaur"*1]

[Hint: You have obtained "Magic Core (Blue)*1"]

[Hint: You have obtained "Treasure Box (Blue)"*2]

"Everything has been cleaned up, come down."

Inside an extremely steep rock wall, a young man in a pitch-black windbreaker walked in the front. He killed a Minotaur monster that rushed forward with a sword, collected the treasure chest and dropped materials, and spoke to the group of adventurers standing on the rock wall above.

"It's so easy... We haven't even started fighting yet, have we? He killed all the monsters on the road by himself. Bell, do you think we can really help him?"

In the adventurer's team, Welf, the red-haired blacksmith who was responsible for making equipment for the Hestia family in the original book, looked at the figure of the black-haired young man below and whispered to Bell Crany beside him.

"Well... since Mr. Tyrant specially summoned us to come here, there must be a need for us, so we should be able to help..."

Bell Craney looked at the scene below and spoke with some hesitation. The back of the black-haired young man was reflected in his red eyes, and there was a strong yearning in his eyes.

The legendary adventurer...

Although he had worked with the other party once before and defeated a powerful and terrifying monster like the black dragon together, Bell Crane's yearning for him had not faded at all, but was even stronger than when they first met. If I had to explain the reason...

"It's really just like the heroes in the hero stories..."

The white-haired boy looked at the black-haired figure in his sight who gave him an extremely reliable feeling, and muttered to himself subconsciously.

"Hmm? Bell, did you say anything just now?" "No, nothing, just some feelings...!"

"Roar--!!"

Before Bell Crany could finish his words, a deafening roar suddenly came from below, shocking the hundreds of adventurers present.

"It's Goliath!" "Damn, wasn't this thing just cleaned up a few days ago?"

"Quick, hurry over and take a look!" "I don't think there's anything to see, right? With the Tyrant's strength, I think he can kill it with one sword."

As the discussions rang out, the adventurers who had been walking slowly became excited and all quickened their pace at the same time.

When the first group of adventurers rushed out of the end of a slide-like corridor, the first thing that caught their eyes was an open space with four walls made of crystal that refracted colorful light, and a huge figure that appeared to be more than 30 meters tall that emerged from under the crystal wall.

"Roar--!!"

A deafening roar was heard, and an arm suddenly broke out from the crystal wall, causing the entire underground space to begin to tremble continuously.

[Hint: Encountering the lord-level unit, "stratum master" Goliath]

……

The lord of the strata, Goliath.

Before the 70th floor, the dungeons in the world of Dicuo have clear safe floors. Monsters will not spawn in these safe floors, and the environment is usually milder than other floors, making them suitable for use as transit stations.

For example, the Crystal Forest on the 18th floor is a transit station for a large number of adventurers heading to the middle floor. A complete town has been built inside it for adventurers to rest.

However, it is not easy to reach these safe floors. In the setting of the Earthly World, the floor before each safe floor is guarded by a "level master" whose strength far exceeds the average strength of the monsters of the current level.

These "floor masters" will not cross to the "safe floor". In theory, if it is a small-scale adventurer team, facing the "floor master"

In fact, you can choose to escape with all your strength. As long as you can escape to a safe floor, you will be temporarily safe.

However, if it is a large-scale expedition, it is basically impossible to choose the method of smuggling because of the large number of people. At this time, whether you are willing or not, you only have one choice to enter the "safe floor" after defeating the "floor master"

Rumble!
"Roar--!!"

A large number of crystal fragments fell from the air. In the open space, the giant BOSS Goliath rushed out from the crystal wall, roaring, interlaced his fingers, clenched into fists, and smashed towards Xin Lailai with terrifying power, and then...

Winding blade·Flowing slash.

Wow——! !

A dark sword light flashed, and the magic chip attached with demonic power, with the blessing of the sword force, slashed out a dark sword light that soared into the sky and instantly swept across the body of the giant who was more than 30 meters tall in front of him.

“Ugh…!”

A low roar of disbelief came from the mouth of the giant boss Goliath. The next second, a line of blood appeared in the center of his fist, followed by his head and torso...

Peng——! !

Finally, the class master who was so powerful a second ago suddenly collapsed and turned into a black light all over the sky. A crystal core about the size of a fist fell down along with a piece of hard skin that was more than two meters long.

……

[Hint: 1 lord unit "Level Master" Goliath has been killed, Orario camp reputation +2000]

[Hint: Goliath's Hard Skin*1 has been obtained]

[Hint: You have obtained "Magic Core (Gold)*1"]

[Hint: You have obtained "Treasure Box (Gold)"*2]

……

A cold reminder sounded, and Xin Lailai glanced at his current reputation value and the number of treasure chests. Without saying anything, he walked out of the cave entrance that was originally blocked by Goliath's huge body under the awe-inspiring gazes of the adventurers who came from behind.

[Hint: You have entered the safe area of ​​this world, the 18th floor of the dungeon. The difficulty level of the current area is LV.10]

Passing through the dark tunnel going down, what comes into view is no longer the gray cellar and the dull rock wall, but a scene full of vitality:

Dense forests surround it layer by layer, like guards surrounding the central town. At the top of the space, clusters of crystals with colorful luster on their surfaces are intertwined with each other, like concave lenses, gathering the light of the entire underground space into the dome and refracting it onto the earth, bringing a different "sky" to this underground maze.

Dungeon level 18 - Crystal Forest.

If it is an adventurer who arrives here for the first time, he will most likely have a feeling like a dream. In the dark dungeon full of monsters, a strange layer suddenly appears without any monsters and with the same friendly environment as the surface. If the adventurer is a bit suspicious, he will probably think that he has been hit by some kind of illusion.

——The magic of the extraordinary world lies here.

Under the influence of various extraordinary energies, the wonders and stunning sights that can be created in the extraordinary world can be said to be tens of millions times better than those in the real world.

A single breath from a giant dragon is enough to turn into a world-renowned storm, and the migration of giant beasts on the continent can easily make mountains thousands of meters high disappear into thin air.

It can be said that after seeing the colorful world beyond, it is almost impossible to endure the dull and boring scenes in the real world.

However, for Xin Lailai, the magnificent scene before him had little to do with him. The reason why he rushed to the 18th floor was not only to meet up with Dao Ji as soon as possible, but also for another reason -

[Prompt: It is detected that the pioneer has arrived at the 18th floor of the dungeon in this world. The coordinates of the camp store in this area are now open to the pioneers.]

Yes, there is also a faction store on the 18th floor of the dungeon.

Not only that, the rarity of the items sold in this faction store is also a whole level higher than that of the faction store in Orario.

Not only on the 18th floor, in fact, there are corresponding faction stores on the subsequent 28th, 39th, 50th, 60th, and 70th floors, which are all safe floors.

This is why Xin Lailai did not go to the faction store to exchange items when she was on the surface. Compared with the faction stores located in the dungeon, the faction store in Orario is no exaggeration to say that it is garbage.
