When Gu Shi arrived at school, it was around two o'clock in the afternoon. If he went back to the dormitory at this time, the others would probably not be there yet, so he decided to go directly to see the "copy" that Wang Feng mentioned.
After exiting the teleportation array, Gu Shi asked the staff nearby about the location of the dungeon. The staff member, without even looking up, said, "You can see it as soon as you exit the main gate. The entrance is right next to the Professional Hall."
Just as the staff said, as soon as Gu Shi walked out of the Professional Hall, he found a huge door not far away.
The door frame is made of white minerals, with a blue-purple vortex in the middle that shimmers with light, flowing slowly like a galaxy.
Gu Shi saw many people constantly appearing and disappearing near the door.
Gu Shi approached the area curiously. When he was a certain distance away from the door, a translucent screen suddenly popped up in front of him.
Gu Shi looked carefully and saw that different copy options were displayed on the screen, but only one copy called [Desert Cave] was lit up, and the other copies were still gray and unlocked.
Gu Shi selected [Desert Cave] and clicked Next. Immediately afterwards, a user instructions page popped up, with a lot of small words densely displayed on it, and a page-turning button at the bottom.
This user manual is nearly ten pages long and cannot be skipped. You have to turn to the bottom of each page before you can proceed to the next step.
Since Gu Shi was not in a hurry, he read the user instructions carefully.
First of all, this copy does not restrict the level of entry, and ordinary people or professionals can enter.
Secondly, this is a team dungeon that allows up to six people to enter, but there is no lower limit on the number of people required. As long as you are confident in your own strength, you can challenge it alone.
Finally, Gu Shi paid special attention to the part of the terms regarding rewards.
Just as Wang Feng said, the system will give each challenger a corresponding personal score based on his or her performance in the copy. Different scores will result in different rewards.
The higher the score, the richer the final reward will be. In addition to the basic magic power enhancement reward, various materials produced by the copy will also drop randomly.
Gu Shi carefully studied the description of the talent improvement reward that Wang Feng said could turn ordinary people into professionals, and found that things were not as easy as he imagined.
The talent improvement reward is limited to 100 copies per year, and is shared by all of Blue Star. You can imagine how fierce the competition for this spot will be.
Moreover, it is quite difficult to obtain this reward. After an ordinary person passes the dungeon, the system will convert the score obtained by this person into first-level talent points according to a certain ratio based on factors such as the dungeon level and personal strength.
If an ordinary person wants to become a professional, he must accumulate 100 first-level talent points before all 100 talent improvement rewards are distributed.
After becoming a professional, this person can only cultivate to the first-level advanced level at most. If he wants to continue to advance, he must accumulate 100 second-level talent points as before.
The worst thing is that talent points of all levels share the same 100 quotas, and the talent points earned every year will be reset to zero.
As expected, the system is not here to do charity. It is conceivable that those who can finally emerge from this fiercely competitive road will be elites who have experienced many battles.
After looking at the talent improvement quotas for this year, it turned out that there was not a single one left. Wang Feng was able to stand out from so many people and successfully get this one. His ability should definitely not be underestimated.
This [copy] is not like the copies in the game where you can let others lead you. If you don't put in any effort throughout the whole process, the final system score will be zero.
Gu Shi had originally thought that if he had the chance, he could let his parents become professionals after he returned, so that their lifespans could be doubled. Now, after reading this clause, he has completely given up hope.
Oh, forget it. Anyway, I still have the fruit of the Yunsheng Tree to prolong my life. Gu Shi sighed and turned to the next page.
Each person has only three chances to enter the [Desert Cave] per month. Success or failure will consume one chance. After the three chances are used up, you will not be able to enter the dungeon again this month.
All difficulty levels have three challenge opportunities. You can choose to retreat early in the dungeon. You will not receive any rewards if you exit the dungeon early, and one challenge opportunity will be consumed, but you will not be punished by death.
After finally finishing reading the user instructions, Gu Shi clicked Next and came to the interface for selecting the difficulty of the dungeon.
[Desert Cave] has three difficulty levels to choose from: easy, normal, and hard. The recommended strengths for entering are level one, level two, level three, and level four respectively.
Of course, this is based on the premise of forming a team of six. If you want to go solo, you have to consider your own strength.
After selecting the difficulty on this interface, you can directly enter the [Desert Cave], but Gu Shi did not do so. He decided to go back to the dormitory to search for a guide first.
To be honest, even ordinary game copies would have strategy guides, let alone this kind of real [copy]. He didn't believe that the school would not form a strategy guide group.
As for why he didn't use his mobile phone to search, Gu Shi left his mobile phone at the base and forgot to bring it with him. If he wanted to look up the guide, he could only rely on the notebook in the dormitory.
Gu Shi returned to the dormitory and found that no one else was there. He took out his laptop from his computer bag, plugged it in and turned it on. Sure enough, he found the guide to the [Desert Cave] in the Explorer.
The guides published by the school are very detailed, with corresponding videos for each level of difficulty and detailed explanations.
The dungeon environment of [Desert Cave] is just like its name, it is a cave in the desert. The climate inside is dry and hot, which is not particularly friendly to water and ice mages.
There are three bosses in the [Desert Cave], namely the Sand Lizard, the Fire Ant and the Crazy Sand Python. In addition, there are also many small monsters.
Because the passages in the cave are interconnected, it is best to memorize the map before entering the dungeon, otherwise you may get lost in the cave.
Although the school's optimal route is Sand Lizard, Fire Ant, and Wild Sand Python, challengers can adjust the order of the bosses according to their needs.
In addition to the official guide, Gu Shi also saw many copy videos recorded by students on Explorer.
In addition to serious strategy videos, there are also quite a few fun-oriented ones, such as all-swordsman teams, all-mages teams, etc., with all kinds of diverse lineups.
Although most of the videos are just for fun, there are occasionally some eye-catching playing styles.
