Tokyo underground city

Chapter 6 Temporary Team

However, before he could reach the obelisk, he was stopped by someone.

"Um... I'm sorry, are you a new explorer?"

Lin Huai'en turned around in surprise, but it was a short-skinned boy who was a little taller than himself. He had dark skin and looked a bit like his roommate from the basketball team who lived across from his bed in college.

The other party smiled shyly: "Sorry, I saw that you were alone, so I asked you to talk. In fact, we want to go to the third floor, but we still lack a defender in terms of combat strength, so I wanted to know if you would like to Form a temporary team with us."

"Temporary Team?" Lin Huai'en was stunned for a moment, looked at the two people behind the tall young man, and frowned subconsciously.

He had heard of similar things.

In fact, among the vast majority of dungeon explorers, it is rare to find a lone explorer. After all, it is a job that risks life and death. Psychologically, it is easier for several people to help each other to survive.

In "Wild House", it is also strongly recommended that a team of explorers should preferably be composed of 3 to 5 people with different responsibilities.

The most basic five-person team will be arranged in the order of "sentinel", "avant-garde", "guerrilla", "long-range" and "defender". In the absence of sufficient numbers, at least the minimum lineup of "avant-garde", "backbone" and "defender/guerrilla" must be ensured.

The three-person team in front of them obviously did not meet the requirements.

The guy at the front, Ban Cun, was holding a rattan shield and a square-headed war hammer similar to Lin Huaien's. He looked "avant-garde" at first glance. Among the two people at the back, there is a girl wearing a robe and holding a staff, who should be the "backbone"; the last young man, holding a bow and arrow and a short sword at his waist, can probably only be considered the "backbone". Obviously not good at close combat.

Noticing Lin Huaien's gaze, Brother Bancun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There are too many monsters on the third floor. There are no defenders. We will be driven back as soon as we go down. We can't go deep enough."

"How many levels are you all at? What is the general situation of the monsters on the third floor?"

Lin Huaien nodded and asked calmly.

"I just upgraded to level 5 yesterday, and the other two are both level 4. We are going to upgrade to level 5 on the second level, and then go to the third level."

Upon hearing Lin Huai'en's inquiry, Brother Bancun quickly replied:

"As for the monsters on the third level, there are a small number of [Giant Cicada Monkeys] and a large number of [Cicada-Eating Ants]. The individual threat of these two monsters is very low, only 0.4 and 0.3, but starting from the third level, [Cicada-eating ants] are always in groups of at least three, and it is very difficult to deal with smaller groups.”

Hearing Brother Bancun's answer, Lin Huai'en nodded and said nothing.

In fact, according to what was said on the Wilderness House Forum, the team in front of us is undoubtedly the so-called "burden team"——

In the team of three people, only one person is a melee fighter. Among the remaining two people, one is a useless archer, and the other is a legal profession that is not even as good as an archer.

There is no such thing as "friendly damage" in the dungeon. All spells and long-range attacks will hit your own people. Therefore, if you are not a very powerful team, basically you will not develop legal or long-range professions in the newcomer stage.

Thinking about the reminder in the post, Lin Huai'en ignored the mage girl who obviously had no fighting ability, and pointed at the archer next to the girl: "How is his strength? If he uses a bow and arrow, it shows that he is very confident in his archery skills. ?”

"When I was in college, I was a member of the archery club. From a distance of twenty meters, I was guaranteed to hit the half-length target." The archer looked at Lin Huai'en with a slightly provocative look: "But don't think I can play a big role. , I can shoot up to thirty arrows in a battle! Then I have to rest for fifteen minutes, otherwise my arms will not be able to hold up."

Brother Bancun interjected at the right time: "Sorry! This friend of mine is quite vicious! But don't worry, we have been working together for so long and he has never shot me!"

Lin Huaien nodded and said: "I understand, my name is Lin Huaien, and I have just been promoted to level 2."

He didn't mean to hide it and extended his hand to Brother Bancun.

Brother Bancun was stunned for a moment, but he was still half surprised and half pleasantly replied:

"My name is Fat Knight. The one holding the bow and arrow is my brother Yuan Zi. Next to him is his wife Yaya. Brother Lin, you should be older than us. Just call me Xiao Fat or Fat Boy."

"Are you just graduated college students?" Lin Huai'en had already figured out the other party's identity, and took out his mobile phone without paying attention to the other party's online name.

"Yes, I graduated in June. We were originally in the dungeon at Nanlu Airport, but we heard that a new dungeon had appeared in Changying, so we came here."

Fat Knight and two other people also opened the "Wild House" APP and used the face-to-face group function to add Lin Huai'en as a friend. In this way, even if Lin Huai'en does not know other people's real names, he can use the Wilderness Assistant to lock the other party's dungeon pass number. If something goes wrong, the other party will not be able to escape even if it is a fake name.

This is why Lin Huai'en is not worried about the other party using his online name.

In addition to the "Fat Knight" who has a dark complexion, a strong body and is not fat at all, the network ID of the cold-faced archer man is "Yuan Xiaole and Mu Yaya", and the ID of the mage girl is "Mu Yaya and Yuan Xiaole". They look like a couple at first glance.

Seeing "Friend Application Approved" displayed on the phone screen, the Fat Knight breathed a sigh of relief and his expression relaxed a lot. He seemed to ask casually: "Brother Lin, what did you do before? This thing on your body Isn’t a set of equipment cheap?”

"Just ordinary white-collar workers in the workplace." Lin Huai'en shook his head and brought the topic back to the Fat Knight: "Did you buy the equipment you have with money, or did you drop it from the dungeon?"

"Dungeon equipment dropped?" Hearing Lin Huaien's question, Fat Knight and Yuan Xiaole looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "Dungeon equipment, how can it be so easy to drop?"

"The three of us pooled our money to buy my current equipment, which cost more than 20,000 yuan. The protective gear on Yuan Zi's body was discarded by me. The bow and arrows are his own and have been used for four or five years; Yaya's hand That staff is a non-attributed equipment that we found out from the treasure chest, and the robe... barely provides some protection, and was dropped by an elite monster on the second floor."

Lin Huai'en noticed that the fat knight hesitated slightly when he mentioned Yaya's robe, but he didn't pay too much attention.

After all, he is not planning to take the legal route, and equipment like robes is of little use to him.

However, the Fat Knight's answer still made Lin Huaien realize that although his level was not high, the equipment on his body was indeed quite good. The Fat Knight and the old man at the acquisition shop all regarded him as an explorer of level 5 or above.

"This is the benefit of being willing to invest..."

He thought secretly in his heart.

.

After forming a temporary team, Lin Huaien and the others followed the escalator and entered the waiting hall inside the obelisk. The layout here was very similar to the toilet space at his home, except that the scale was dozens of times larger.

There are fifteen medium-sized elevators that can accommodate ten people, and there are also three large elevators that are rarely used for hundreds of people. Even the entire hall itself is an elevator space that can accommodate thousands of people at one time. In an emergency, one can By going back and forth, a regiment of two thousand troops can be transported to the underground city.

"Is this a large dungeon...it's really exaggerated..."

Looking at the silver-white vast space inside the obelisk, Lin Huai'en couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Compared to some medium-sized airports, it's not much better."

However, the fat knight shook his head, somewhat disapprovingly:

"Compared with Nanlu Airport, Changying Underground City is still too small - there are commercial complexes and residential areas nearby, and the construction team should not be too exaggerated."

"Brother Lin, where did you upgrade to level 2? It doesn't feel like you have been in a large dungeon?" Now that they have become a team, the only woman in the team is no longer silent.

Lin Huai'en noticed that the girl named Mu Yaya could only be regarded as above average in appearance, but her voice was very pleasant, with an irrepressible vitality and vitality. Just now, he was just afraid that Lin Huai'en would notice that she was a legal professional. , so I pretended not to say much on purpose.

"I was promoted to level 2 from a friend in the north." Lin Huai'en said in a slightly disguised manner.

He and the Fat Knight and others had just met, so there was no trust, so there was no need to make it too clear.

"That's it." Yaya nodded, obviously not thinking too much. The fat knight didn't pay attention either. Only Yuan Xiaole suddenly raised his head and glanced at Lin Huai'en. He didn't know if he noticed something.

But Lin Huai'en didn't care. After all, it was just a temporary team, and it was normal to hide something from each other.

.

They sat on the benches in the lift hall and waited for a while. When the other two explorer teams gathered ten people, they inserted their passes into the authentication card machine inside the elevator. The elevator started and took everyone to the underground level of Changying Subway Station.
