Chapter 22, Selecting a Dungeon
Compared to the one-star danger prophecy, the two-star danger prophecy lasts longer and the hint changes from a single thread to a single line, greatly increasing Zhong Bingxuan's safety in the next dungeon.
It just consumes more mana, requiring twenty mana points.
For her own safety, Zhong Bingxuan should buy enough small/large mana potions before the next dungeon to ensure that her mana is not depleted and she is unable to use her special abilities.
The large blue potion is expensive, costing 1,000 points in the system store, but it's very effective, with a high maximum capacity to replenish 100,000 mana, instantly restoring all mana.
The small blue bottle is cheaper, costing 100 points in the system store, but unfortunately, its effect is more than half as bad. It has a low cap, only restoring 10,000 mana points, and each time you drink it, you can only restore 70% of your mana, not the entire amount.
Zhong Bingxuan's current attribute values are low, so the small blue bottle is just what she needs. She used all her remaining points to buy small blue bottles, and now she has four sets of small blue bottles in reserve.
"I don't know how the extra attributes are added?"
Zhong Bingxuan's talent skills will increasingly consume mana, so you must improve your own attribute values as soon as possible.
"Of the four themes, apart from the quests that grant health and attribute points within the carriages themselves, the others are all part of the dungeons."
"Disaster strikes and the frenzied battle royale increase attribute values, while monster invasion and supernatural resurgence increase vitality. In other dungeons, players cannot choose, but we are in first class here, so we can choose the dungeon in advance."
Fu Yuchen turned on the TV and gestured for Zhong Bingxuan to look at the next available dungeon.
First-class passengers enjoy good perks, including a private bedroom, bathroom, TV, lobby, and more—it's like a luxurious five-star hotel.
Of course, the TV series here is not for players' entertainment, but only for players to choose the next dungeon and carriage mission.
Other compartment and carriage missions involve ticket coordinates, so caution is needed. Although Zhong Bingxuan can obtain the ticket location without doing extra missions, doing missions is essential for her own strength development.
Fu Yuchen turned on the TV, and Zhong Bingxuan focused her attention on the TV, discovering that there were three copies to choose from.
【1. Ghostly Old House】
[Rank: 1 star]
[Genre: Supernatural Revival]
2. Sea Adventure
[Rank: 2 stars]
[Type: Disaster]
3. Bloodshed and carnage
[Rank: Five Stars]
[Genre: Battle Royale]
"The last Bloodbath is not only unlucky in name, but also high in level, so it is not suitable for our team."
Zhong Bingxuan first ruled out the last dungeon because it was too high-level. With only Fu Yuchen, a veteran player, in the team, everyone else was a newbie. Choosing this dungeon would be tantamount to suicide.
"The last dungeon cannot be selected, but I don't mind if you choose the second dungeon if there are other alternatives."
Is there any explanation for this?
Since Fu Yucheng, a veteran player, had said so, there must be a reason for it. Zhong Bingxuan had already subconsciously eliminated this dungeon, and could only ask about the situation with a sliver of hope.
No woman likes dealing with the supernatural, and Zhong Bingxuan, no matter how carefree she is, is no exception.
Not to mention Zhong Linlin, who had been eagerly watching Fu Yuchen, hoping to hear some good news.
"If I were alone, I would choose to go through a disaster. The dungeon is more difficult, but at least I have experience and can still ensure my survival. The dungeon rewards are also richer. It's different for you guys. Sometimes, even a one-star difference in level can make a big difference in the dungeon."
What Fu Yucheng didn't mention was that ordinary players without magical artifacts were better off going to other types of dungeons that were one or even three stars higher. At least there was still some human effort involved, and they wouldn't be killed by the monsters all at once.
However, Zhong Linlin, that little girl, has very little life left due to her previous serious injuries. For the sake of her life, we must choose the supernatural revival this time as well.
Driven by personal motives, Fu Yucheng changed the concept midway through.
Zhong Bingxuan nodded indifferently. She sensed that Fu Yuchen had something he didn't say, but considering how much he cared about Linlin, she figured this instance shouldn't be too bad, so she directly chose the Ghostly Ancient House.
[First-class players Zhong Bingxuan, Li Hanmo, Fu Yucheng, and Zhong Linlin will be heading to the Ghostly Mansion one day from now. Please prepare your personal belongings in advance to avoid forgetting anything that might affect your progress in the dungeon.]
[This site's theme: Haunted Mansion - Stay rational, reject fear.]
"Alright, everyone has received the system notification. Let's report our talents and abilities first, so that it will be easier for us to work together as a team in the future."
"And the team name."
Fu Yuchen added to Zhong Bingxuan's words, saying that it was impossible for everyone to live and die together without even knowing the name of their own team. People would laugh their heads off if they told others.
"I'm terrible at naming things, so I won't participate in the team's naming process. My ability is dangerous prediction, which gives me a chance to obtain a survival clue."
After Fu Yuchen spoke, Zhong Bingxuan immediately declared that she was terrible at naming things, not wanting her name to be too awful and make everyone look bad. She also revealed one of her special talents and concealed her death and reload ability.
"I abstain. My ability is Starlight, which can heal and repair teammates. I just leveled up and has a chance to remove negative effects."
Zhong Linlin blushed as she spoke, feeling utterly useless. She couldn't help in the fight, and she couldn't even handle the most basic clerical work.
"Linlin is amazing, she's the life support for our team. From now on, our safety depends entirely on you, Linlin."
Zhong Linlin felt embarrassed by her cousin's words and hid behind Fu Yuchen. Zhong Bingxuan saw Linlin's subconscious action and felt heartbroken. She felt that her little cabbage would not last long and would be stolen by a thief.
"My ability is a versatile backpack. I can take out a weapon and three ordinary items once a day. I think the team name 'Unfazed by Wind and Rain' would be good."
Zhong Bingxuan looked at her boyfriend with a complicated expression. This guy's naming skills were comparable to hers. Other people's team names were so high-class, but their team name was just this.
As for concealing her skills, she didn't comment. Fu Yucheng is a veteran player, so who knows if he was faking it or something?
Zhong Linlin had no objection, as long as she didn't have to rack her brains to come up with a name.
Fu Yuchen hasn't fully integrated into the team yet, so he doesn't have a say in this matter. He only mentioned that his superpower is teleportation.
As for whether the other party was hiding anything, no one but himself knows.
Zhong Bingxuan said she wouldn't participate in the naming activity, so the team name will be as Li Hanmo suggested: "Unfazed by Wind and Rain".
"Okay, things are almost resolved. I'm tired, I'm going back to rest for a while."
Seeing that things were mostly resolved, Fu Yuchen left. The quest was to be selected during the time the dungeon was open, and now that everyone was sitting together, they could only stare at each other, which was too awkward, especially since Fu Yuchen wasn't familiar with the other two people.
"Cousin, I'm going back to rest too."
Zhong Linlin subconsciously followed Fu Yuchen's steps, unwilling to be a third wheel for her cousin and cousin-in-law.
"Hanmo, I feel like the little cabbage in my house is about to be stolen by a vegetable thief."
When Zhong Bingxuan saw that her cousin was acting like a submissive wife, her face turned green.
Li Hanmo used the ever-changing backpack as a magician's hat, suddenly producing 999 red roses and then a cat doll, using various tricks to coax his girlfriend, making Zhong Bingxuan beam with joy.
