Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Glimmering Dragon's Nest

"Are we going to fight against a level 15 or 20 enemy?" The group quickly arrived at the dungeon. Before teleporting, the captain asked by giving an example.

The level difference between players and event dungeons cannot exceed five levels. Currently everyone is stuck at level 20, so everyone can choose level 15 and level 20 dungeons.

Considering the difficulty of the previous dungeons in "Magic Continent", for example, I am worried that choosing level 20 directly will lead to failure.

"Let's start with level 20 Easy Mode," he asked with a look. After receiving unanimous approval, he continued, "There's a limit on how many times you can clear a limited-time dungeon. If you want to maximize your rewards, you can't waste your chances to clear it."

The event starts on the 3rd day and ends on the 14th day. Each person can complete the game three times a day. The total number of clearance rewards for the entire event is 12×3, which is a total of 36 clearance rewards.

If the number of clearances is the same, of course you should choose a higher level and more difficult copy to maximize your benefits.

Theoretically, the optimal solution is to clear the 20-level easy mode and the hard mode once. After unlocking the hell mode, choose the 20-level hell mode for the next few days to get the highest reward of the dungeon.

"After all, it's a launch benefit event. To encourage all players to participate, the dungeon shouldn't be too difficult." This analysis was inadequate.

Another piece of evidence is that there is already a record of completing the level 20 dungeon, and it hasn't been long since today.

Tang Li recalled the last gift box event. The monsters in it had thicker health bars at best, but weren't very aggressive. She immediately nodded in agreement, "That seems to be the case."

"Then choose level 20!" Li Zi and He Bi Duoyan were also convinced and said excitedly, "Come to think of it, we haven't even played Hell Mode yet. We can give it a try this time."

"Then I'll choose level 20." Seeing that everyone was looking forward to it, for example, I hilariously chose to enter the dungeon amid everyone's impatient gazes.

The next second, everyone walked out of the bustling dungeon entrance and arrived at a void filled with stars.

The entire space is vast and empty, with only a faint light that rises and falls like breathing extending into the depths of the universe.

Being in such an environment, one feels insignificant for no reason.

"Wow... standing right in space like this?" He Biduoyan was shocked. "You didn't even give me a place to stay?"

"Look at how timid you are. Don't even think you're a military academy student." The other three people scolded him loudly.

Tang Li: ...I was embarrassed to say that she was also shocked.

Although she had experienced a lot of things, none of them had happened outside the earth, and it was the first time for her to step on the void.

To be honest, I feel a little weak.

Fortunately, she reacted a little slowly and didn't show it, otherwise she would have been the one being laughed at.

As the only two people present who were frightened, Tang Li felt she needed to speak up to save the situation: "Ahem, killing monsters is more important."

"Should it have been taken away by this light?" Apart from this unique glimmer of light, there was nothing else at the scene.

As she spoke, she took a step forward, trying to hide her weak legs.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step forward, the stars that were originally quietly dotted in the void suddenly attacked her.

"Be careful!" Li Zi quickly reminded when he saw this.

Tang Li was startled and quickly took a few steps forward to avoid it. The others also acted subconsciously.

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. As several people moved at the same time, dense stars rushed towards them.

“Swish, swish, swish, swish——”

A series of stars came rushing from all directions, which could be called a 365-degree attack without blind spots.

The scene fell into chaos for a while.

The busier it is, the more chaotic it becomes, and the more chaotic it is, the busier it becomes. This is where many players' first team wipe comes from.

Fortunately, everyone had good skills. Except for the initial confusion, they were able to dodge the subsequent stars with their flexible movements.

"This enthusiasm is too overwhelming," Tang Li complained as she became more and more proficient at it. She used combat flight to dodge from the side, observing her surroundings. She quickly pointed to a platform formed by the collision of stars on the light band not far away and warned, "There's a circular platform over there."

"It should be our resting place." After Tang Li's reminder, Cibudai and the others also saw the platform and all rushed over there.

Soon, new troubles arose.

As the distance between them got closer, everyone had to dodge their own triggered stars while also dodge their teammates' stars.

Everyone's operations are different, and the frequency of triggering stars is also different. Sometimes, even if you manage to avoid your own stars, you still can't avoid the troubles created by your teammates.

Especially when this group of teammates are all very good at operations.

Tang Li watched helplessly as Cibudiyi used a series of dazzling and gorgeous steps to elegantly and quickly dodge all the stars.

He is handsome, but he doesn't care about the life and death of his teammates at all.

Tang Li used combat flying skills and tried her best to dodge from the side. She was so focused on avoiding the stars that she didn't notice how fast her steps were.

"Slow down, slow down!" Li Zi wailed while dodging quickly.

"You didn't even show any mercy," He Biduoyan dodged in a panic. It was too difficult for him to dodge with his large body. "Brother Ju, why are you leaning over here? How did I offend you? Don't come over here!"

The scene was in chaos.

Fortunately, thanks to the excellent operation of several people, they finally successfully landed on the platform.

The moment it landed, the stars that were scattered all over the sky calmed down, and the void returned to peace again.

"I'm so tired." He said nothing and sat down on the spot, looking extremely tired.

The others were not much better than him, all stumbling around.

Everyone looked at each other, and burst out laughing at each other's embarrassed appearance.

"Oh!" After laughing and joking, Li Zi began to worry, "What about the promise that it wouldn't be difficult?"

Tang Li's face instantly turned grim upon hearing this: "Normal mode is already so difficult to pass, so we probably can't expect to get through the Hard Mode and Hell Mode that's coming up."

"We dragged our feet this time," he reflected, wondering, "How many teams can successfully clear the Easy mode when it's so difficult? Could it be that our analysis was wrong, and the officials don't really want to give us any benefits?"

Everyone sat there brainstorming, but couldn't figure it out.

"Okay," he said after a long pause, unable to articulate his thoughts, before reminding everyone, "No matter what, let's get through this first."

"Um."

"Listen to the boss."

Since there was no other way, everyone nodded and stood up, planning to continue the game.

Tang Li was closest to the edge of the platform and was walking in front. She would never admit that she wanted to walk in front because she was worried about being implicated by the group of people behind her.

The moment the footsteps landed in the void, the stars in the void were triggered again.

"Wait," Tang Li looked down at her feet, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind. She subconsciously stopped the others who wanted to leave the platform, "I think I know what's going on."

"Um?"

Everyone was confused and watched Tang Li retract her foot.

To confirm her guess, she dodged the stars this time and landed directly at the starting point: "Sure enough."

This time no stars were triggered.

The four people who witnessed the whole process immediately understood what was going on. They tried to walk out and jump on the spot, but there were no other stars except the first wave of meteors.

"So a location only triggers the star once?"

In this case, they could just take a step back after triggering the star. There was no need to rush forward in such a hurry and make themselves and their teammates so embarrassed.

They could even send just one person to follow the faint light to trigger the star, and then the others could move slowly after the star hits the platform.

Then what about the group of people just now jumping up and down like monkeys and running forward desperately?

Are they that powerful?

A suspicious silence fell on the scene.

"Ahem." After a long silence, Tang Li felt she couldn't let everyone fall into self-doubt. After racking her brains for a long time, she spoke, trying to find the advantages of their actions: "Actually, what we're doing is not meaningless. For example, if a group of us trigger the stars together, the stars will collide and form the platform faster."

He glanced at Tang Li without being able to express his feelings, his eyes fixed on the void in front of him, as if he was calculating something.

Soon, he came from the platform into the void, using combat flying techniques to jump a few steps seemingly casually.

With a few "bang bang bang" sounds, a new platform appeared right in front of their route. After Cibudiyi landed on the platform, he turned and looked at Tang Li.

Tang Li: ...So, there is also an optimal solution for the impact platform, right?

Why should we expose her? Is it easy for her to come up with excuses to comfort herself?

With a resentful look at Ci Bu De Yi, Tang Li and the remaining three people quickly arrived at the new platform.

Everyone was silent for the rest of the journey.

Fortunately, after finding the trick, I was able to complete the dungeon much faster.

After jumping over about ten platforms, the guiding light no longer spread forward.

Pull the stars to the light and collide with it, and soon, a huge platform appeared in front of everyone.

The moment the platform appeared, a huge dragon claw gleaming with light tore through the void, revealing a golden dragon's nest inside, and the domineering but weak dragon nesting in the nest.

"It's a dragon!"

"I was wondering why the dungeon is called [Glimmering Dragon's Lair], but I didn't see any dragons along the way. So, it turns out they're waiting for us here!"

"What are we going to do next? Fight the boss?"

Several people completely forgot about the embarrassment just now, and looked at the giant dragon in front of them with eager eyes.

Slaying a dragon sounds exciting!

Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. Although the dragon deducted five points of favorability from each of them due to their offense, it never showed its blood bar from beginning to end.

They can't fight without health bars.

The few people had no choice but to follow the instructions of the Glimmering Dragon dejectedly, remove the Glimmering Seal of the Copy Certificate, and place it in the groove at the entrance of the Dragon's Nest.

After removing the copy mark, Tang Li discovered that the mark, which originally only had a faint glow, had suddenly become shiny.

It's like stars were injected into it.

"Platform?" If one must say that it is in contact with the stars, then it should only be a platform formed by the stars.

"It should be." Everyone also guessed so.

After the mark was placed in the groove, the light was slowly absorbed by the dragon's nest, and the light became weaker and weaker until it finally turned into ashes.

No wonder the mark is only counted once when you clear the dungeon. It turns out that it is not used when entering and exiting the dungeon, but is used here?

Everyone suddenly realized.

The dragon's nest flashed by, and as the dragon's nest disappeared, five golden treasure chests with paintings of glowing dragons appeared in front of everyone, accompanied by the sound of gold coins clattering.

System: [Congratulations on your team completing "Glimmer Dragon's Nest (Easy)." You received 1 Dragon's Nest Treasure Chest, 1 Gold Coin, 10 Glimmer Dragon Scales, and experience points...]

"There was such a loud noise of gold coins, and we thought a lot of stuff dropped, but it turned out to be just a treasure chest besides experience points?" Several people who had thought there would be other rewards waited for a long time, and found that there was nothing else at the scene except the treasure chest. They were speechless.

It’s no wonder they are greedy. It’s because Weiguang Julong looks very rich, which has raised everyone’s expectations.

It would be fine if the rewards were small, but they only gave one gold coin, which really makes people doubt whether everyone can raise enough money to exchange for the Glimmer Dragon reward.

"Forget it, that's how dragons are deducted."

Tang Li opened the box in front of her and obtained [10 Glimmering Dragon Scales] and some experience points.

Before a breakthrough, experience points gained could only be accumulated and could not be viewed. Tang Li had no idea how much experience she had accumulated. After putting away the shimmering dragon scales, she looked at her teammates. Everyone's rewards were similar. "Let's go, how about challenging the hard mode next?"

"Um."

Everyone nodded, and after coming out of the dungeon, they chose the difficult mode and came into the void again.

Just as everyone guessed before, the difficulty of the activity copy is not high. Although there are more stars triggered in the difficult copy than in the simple mode and the action route is longer, everyone can still pass it in one go if the friends do not manually increase the difficulty for themselves.

Next is the hell mode, which is still a similar routine with billions of details. With the concerted efforts of everyone, it was finally conquered after being wiped out twice.

The rewards for clearing the level are generous. After clearing the Hell Mode dungeon, in addition to getting more glimmering dragon scales, Tang Li also obtained an extra dragon scale tree.

Although other people's equipment is also very good.

The three dungeons took the five of them the entire morning. After completing the last dungeon, it was almost time for lunch.

On the way back, I didn’t forget to buy a few gift boxes, and the morning was particularly fulfilling.

After returning, everyone booked a private room at the Doom Restaurant branch in the camp, and after a feast, they began to count the day's harvest.

"I got 80 glimmering dragon scales, and I also collected a lot of starlight in the past few days." He Biduoyan was the first to finish counting.

"I got 90." Li Zi smiled proudly, obviously she was very satisfied with her luck today.

"I'm 90 too." Here's an example of a wife following her husband's lead.

"I'm 100." As soon as the words fell, they were met with envy and hatred from everyone.

"I'm only 60." Tang Li counted her harvest and found that she had the least among everyone. She couldn't help crying silently in her heart.

Not to mention other drops, this event is mainly about collecting glimmering dragon scales and star glimmers to exchange for gifts from NPCs.

Her dream is to empty the prize pool, but there is obviously a gap between the dream and reality.

The number of times she could open a dragon's nest was fixed, but the number of dragon scales she got from opening a treasure chest each time depended on her luck, and as everyone knew, she had no such thing as luck.

Fortunately, in addition to the treasure chest, the first time you complete the dungeon, you will be rewarded with glimmering dragon scales. You can also receive dragon scale rewards after completing the dungeon 3, 6, 9... times.

At least she has a guarantee, and the rewards for the hell mode copy cannot be too low.

She couldn't bear to think about emptying the prize pool, but hard work pays off, and if she worked hard, she could still get the rewards she wanted most.

In addition, after completing three dungeons every day, players can also obtain the exclusive title [Dragon Nest Explorer]. Wearing the title will permanently increase the critical strike by 3%, which is very good.

With so many rewards, Dragon's Nest must be attacked every day.

But Tang Li felt powerless when it came to other activities.

The starlight is of course very attractive, and there is no limit on the number of times you can use it. As long as you are willing to work hard, even players who have just entered the game can get rich rewards.

But whether it was the drops from monsters in the wild or the gift boxes at the top of the hour every day, the time span was too long. The most important thing was that at her level, except for the Starlight, the cost-effectiveness of the drops from monsters at other times was very low. On the third day, she felt that she was about to die.

"I've already planned to give up on the prize pool of Starlight. If I have that much time, I might as well try to break through earlier. If that doesn't work, I can just cook some dishes, potions, and skill books at home and sell them. Anyway, forget about the event." Tang Li told everyone frankly that she had planned to give up, and asked everyone not to call her except for dungeons in the next few days.

"Unless I happen to come across it, I don't plan to collect the starlight." Li Zi followed closely behind. She was also very tired these two days.

"Actually, I also..." Why bother to say more and just raise your hand silently.

For example, seeing this, Chestnut said, "Then let's not go. This event isn't very cost-effective for us max-level players (for now), and we still have camps to manage, so participating is really a stretch."

"Most activities are inherently more suitable for new players. So, aside from the daily dungeons, everyone can move freely at other times," he said, finalizing the decision. "The camp is currently relatively stable, and the managers hired by HR have gradually arrived. We shouldn't have any subsequent problems. We should focus on reaching level 20. As long as we stay at the top, the camp will thrive."

"yes."

After dinner, everyone left.

Tang Li has been thinking about the breakthrough, but unfortunately she has no clue.

So she planned to complete the unlocking of the Staff of Life first.

She has been working hard for this since she received the inheritance from mentor Zoe. Now, her only challenge is to innovate a new type of potion that has never been recorded.

Tang Li had tried many times before, mainly placing her hopes on Moonlight Wheat. After several experiments, she also had some preliminary ideas.

Next, she will continue to refine her ideas and strive to complete the production of the potion before the end of the event.

From then on, whenever she had free time, Tang Li would take out the books borrowed from the library to study, and when inspiration came, she would go to the laboratory to practice, and she managed to turn a game into a scientific research posture.

After about ten days, she had read the borrowed tome thoroughly and realized that with her current knowledge, she still couldn't complete the research independently. She had no choice but to go to the library again and plan to borrow a few more books.
