The sixth copy

The next day, Du Ming learned from Cassia as expected that the matter had been resolved successfully.

At this point, the Monster Archives officially fell into Cassia's hands. The two discussed what to do next, and Du Ming passed the level smoothly.

This copy took a bit too long, and when Du Ming came out, he still had a feeling of not knowing what day it was.

Fortunately, Hu Ying came over quickly, but this time there was obvious worry on his face.

Du Ming was the first to speak: "What's wrong?"

Hu Ying sighed and began to repent: "It's my fault. I didn't take your words to heart."

As soon as these words were spoken, Du Ming had already guessed the general situation.

As expected, during Du Ming's time in the dungeon, the Divine Legion conducted several rounds of recruitment. Despite screening several times, they were unable to prevent the recruitment of several spies.

Hu Ying: "I don't know what method the other party used, but the current situation is that some of our members are trapped in the dungeon."

"Trapped in the dungeon?" Du Ming was surprised that the other party could do this.

He couldn't help but think of what Cassia had told him about the Time Stone. Perhaps the other party had collected some special stones.

"Also, the Du family sent a letter to the Legion, signed to you." As he spoke, Hu Ying took out an envelope from the player space.

Du Ming opened it and saw an expression of understanding.

Sure enough, the Du family locked up the members of the Brave Legion in a copy, with the ultimate goal of luring him into the battle.

Du Ming asked, "Which instance did they enter?"

Hu Ying replied: "Monopoly."

The real name of the Monopoly dungeon isn't actually this, but "My Territory, My Rule." Set in a city, people live there, fighting for supplies and territory.

Just because one of its gameplay methods is somewhat similar to the Monopoly board game, it is nicknamed "Monopoly" by players.

But...

Du Ming asked doubtfully, "I remember that this instance is controlled by the Divine Legion. How could this be?"

When talking about this, Hu Ying's face showed a layer of guilt.

In fact, if they had only recruited a few spies, things might not have been so bad. The main cause of this betrayal was the work of the other legions that were allied with them.

No matter how unintentional your actions are, you will never be able to guard against them.

After understanding the situation, Du Ming didn't know what to say. He asked Hu Ying for some information and prepared to go in a few days.

After returning to the base of the Divine Legion, Du Ming set up a soundproof enclosure in his room and told Cassia about it.

Without saying a word, the other party stored some small props he had collected previously in his player space, and told Du Ming to be careful and that he would not accompany him to this dungeon.

Now, after several dungeons and with the Monster Archive constantly replenishing energy, Cassia's injuries have temporarily stabilized.

He was going to contact some loyal subordinates and start the next step. There would be a battle between him and Bran.

Both of them had things to do, and time passed quickly in the occasional daily greetings.

Time flew by and it was the sixth day. Du Ming, in full view of everyone, chose "My territory, my decision." The second after he entered, Du Qi received the news.

He wrinkled that half of his face and forced a sinister smile, "I'll see if this child chosen by the Heavenly Prediction Stone can escape this disaster."

Welcome to the dungeon 'My Territory, My Rules'.

[Requirement for completing the dungeon: Live smoothly for one month.]

[Clearance Reward: Obtain 1000 basic clearance points.]

[Extra rewards for clearing levels: Points are awarded based on the number of territories acquired by the player.]

Now loading for you...

"My Territory, My Rules" is set in Q City, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one side. A 180-story building in the city center serves as a landmark, with territories beginning to be divided into surrounding areas.

The closer to the city center, the higher the value.

Some say that if you gain control of a landmark building, you will have control of the entire replica, but no one has succeeded so far.

After all, each person only has one month to enter this copy. If they fail within one month, they will start a new round next time they come in.

Du Ming's current starting point is in a dilapidated small bungalow. The entire room is no more than four square meters, and naturally there is not even a bed. It can be said that the house is bare.

He picked up the initial capital from the ground and counted it.

There are 100 coins in total, which is the exclusive currency of this dungeon. Eating, drinking, defecating and urinating all depend on this. Of course, players can also choose to work in exchange for currency.

If it were just eating, it would be fine, but this dungeon has a hard rule: players must stay in a different room every night than the previous night.

Except for the initial house, which does not require payment, the remaining houses require payment of different currencies depending on the geographical location.

Of course, if you purchase the ownership of the house, not only do you not have to pay, you will also get an extra amount of money every day.

It's the cost of having someone else live in your house.

Once you can't afford the overnight fee, you'll be considered a failed dungeon challenge. Therefore, many players who enter the current dungeon will rush to work as soon as possible to ensure their survival within the one-month deadline.

But this will also trap players in a vicious cycle.

Because work here starts at 9 o'clock and you need to pay a deposit. The deposit and salary will be given to you together after the work is completed every day.

However, the daily purchase hours are between 8:00 and 9:00 in the morning, and no one will be accepted after that time.

Players who miss the chance to buy a room will only receive 100 coins (the room fee of the player's initial room) on the second day, and this money will be used to pay for the room fee on the second day.

As a result, players cannot save money to buy other houses and can only make ends meet.

At this time, smart players will choose to starve themselves to buy a house, so that they will have two hundred coins the next day and do not have to worry about having no place to stay that night.

However, this method can only be used for one day. If you still choose to starve the next day, I'm sorry, you will be eliminated directly.

Therefore, the current mainstream way of playing is to starve on the first day, choose to buy a house, and then play according to the normal rules from the second day onwards.

In this way, players can play smoothly and comfortably until the end of the game copy, and at the same time obtain a lot of additional clearance rewards.

Simply buying the central building and gaining control of the instance through this method is far from enough. Therefore, we have to mention the special gameplay of "my territory, my boss".

That is, at five o'clock in the evening every day, Q City will randomly throw three dice.

The person who successfully grabs the dice will have one chance to roll the dice.

Then, based on the points obtained, the player can count a few steps around to obtain the right to occupy that room.

If the player's luck value is high and the amount rolled is large, then he will accumulate a lot of wealth in a short period of time.

I heard that there was once a player who almost bought the central building, but unfortunately failed at the most critical moment.

Of course, this kind of thing only happened once in all these years and it never happened again.

Trading and gifting of currency are not allowed in the dungeon. There is no better way than relying on full luck and strong strength.

The Brave Legion had been able to control this instance for years thanks to their sheer numbers, but now that advantage had been broken, they were left vulnerable to the oppression of others.

Given this, Du Ming also wanted to know how many enemies there would be in this copy.

Fortunately, even Hu Ying and the others don’t know what they look like.

Du Ming lay in his little house for a while, and when 8:41 came, he went out to look for a job.

The person who was responsible for monitoring this area from a distance silently removed him from his list of candidates after seeing his behavior.

Idiots like these who go out to work as soon as they arrive are either small players without a group or newbies who have just entered the game.

It's really stupid that he didn't even read the copy information.

After crossing out the name, the man secretly marveled at his own cleverness.

He is a member of the Dragon and Phoenix Corps and his name is Ma Shao.

The leader of the Dragon and Phoenix Legion originally wanted to board the Du family's big ship.

Unfortunately, people looked down on small fry like them, so when the information of the Brave Legion came out, the Dragon and Phoenix Legion immediately changed camps.

In this instance, the other party was willing to bring in some of their own team members only after both parties exchanged some interests.

They didn't expect that just as they received the notice, the Du family sent a letter.

After weighing the pros and cons, the leader of the Dragon and Phoenix Legion chose to turn against them.

There are quite a few small armies like them that have turned against the enemy.

The Brave Legion was caught off guard, so that most of the members in this copy are now trapped, with only a few small shrimps still running around outside.

It was at this time that Ma Shao was called by the deputy regiment commander to guard the area. He was told to report any suspicious newcomers immediately.

Although Ma Shao was somewhat dissatisfied with this, he thought that if he successfully found the so-called Du Ming, he would become an elder in the legion and get a lot of points and props.

He forced himself to cheer up again.
