The labyrinth was shrouded in mist, and the entrance was covered with moss and vines. The damp environment made people feel uncomfortable all over.
Staying here for a long time makes my skin feel sticky.
Ye Bai appeared at the entrance of the maze, looking relaxed.
"Logically speaking, this kind of level shouldn't be challenging."
First of all, in terms of strength alone, he is undoubtedly the top existence below level 300.
Apart from his eldest, second, and third brothers, Ye Bai really couldn't find any rivals among his peers!
Secondly, the Eye of Insight skill counters maze-type levels.
Looking ahead, the maze entrance splits into two passages, one on the left and one on the right.
The rules of this maze are quite interesting.
At each fork in the road, you will have the option of choosing between "Difficult" and "Easy" modes.
Some forks in the road lead to dead ends, but there is more than one way to get through.
Of course, these options are all hidden from the player.
Based on experience, Ye Bai faced two paths:
One is the "Hard" mode, and the other is the "Easy" mode.
If you're lucky, you can guess the "easy" mode every time, and you can even walk through the whole game!
However, doing so will result in a lower final rating.
A human player with a luck rating of 9 once completed the game in this way and achieved an S-rank rating.
Ye Bai currently has a luck value of 17 and also possesses the Eye of Insight.
We have the right timing, the right location, and the right people—all in our hands!
"This is a huge advantage."
This is what Ye Bai was thinking.
The Eye of Insight appeared before his eyes.
[On the left, a weak level 290 mini-boss awaits your defeat.]
[The passage on the right, though it looks safe, doesn't feel quite right; it might hold some great terror.]
I get it, the left side is the easy mode!
Looking at the prompt, Ye Bai fell into deep thought.
"Is something wrong?"
It's obvious that the left path is the wrong option!
Choose the left side to engage in battle with the BOSS.
Choosing the right side will allow you to proceed smoothly for a distance.
Ye Bai saw through the little scheme of the Eye of Insight at a glance.
Only by fighting monsters can Ye Bai reach level 300 faster, and only then can Mou Yan awaken his second awakening more quickly.
"I'm trying to get a reliable 4S rating!"
Ye Bai reprimanded the Eye of Insight, and with no other choice, after stacking up its full power and preparing to unleash its full potential, it chose the left side.
In a way, the Eye of Insight wasn't wrong.
While the Hard Mode is challenging, it offers a higher exploration reward!
If Ye Bai wants to achieve a 4S rating in one go, accumulating exploration points in the early stages is very important.
After walking less than ten meters forward, Ye Bai encountered a level 290 mini-boss.
A giant skull appeared and let out a furious roar, its imposing presence awe-inspiring.
Ye Bai found it very strange; how could a skull, which doesn't even have vocal cords, make a sound?
He casually waved his staff, "Heavenly Thunder!"
Red lightning crashed down.
Its ashes were scattered.
After defeating the BOSS, Ye Bai's level increased from 286 to 287.5, bringing him one step closer to 300.
The mini-boss dropped some gold coins and materials, but they weren't very valuable.
After Ye Bai carefully packed everything and made sure nothing was missing, he set off again.
After walking a distance through the maze, Ye Bai looked at the road ahead and fell into deep thought once again.
Why is there a pit here?
The road ahead was blocked, and there was a large pit in the ground, filled with gleaming knives!
The Eye of Insight did not provide any warning about this trap.
Until Ye Bai saw the knife pit.
Wow, what's this? A knife crater!
[Analyzing...]
[When leaping over the knife pit, the knives will fly upwards; be careful to avoid them. The flight path is being planned.]
Ye Bai's expression was indifferent, his face calm.
He realized he was wrong.
Faced with the second awakening, the Eye of Insight abandoned all principles.
Previously, this useless talent had zero effect and was dispensable.
Now, things have gotten even worse; they've turned into complete rip-offs!
Even with the flight route planned by the Eye of Insight, Ye Bai was still uneasy.
The trust between people and their eyes has been lost.
"Reflection in the mirror".
The shadow beneath Ye Bai's feet flew out, separating from the figure.
Whatever Ye Bai does, his shadow does the opposite.
After the shadow safely passed through the knife pit, Ye Bai and the shadow switched positions, and then Ye Bai summoned the shadow back.
The operation was seamless and smooth.
Cerberus: Ever since I got [Mirror Image], my back doesn't ache, my legs don't hurt, and I sleep much better!
After escaping the crater of knives, Ye Bai encountered a sea of fire...
In short, although the journey was fraught with danger but ultimately safe, Ye Bai's gaming experience was extremely poor.
[Completed the first section of the maze]
Current exploration progress: 10%
Standing at the crossroads once again, Ye Bai looked at the three paths in front of him.
Left side: Dead end
[In the middle, defeating monsters will reward you with generous amounts of gold coins.]
[On the right, a dull and uninteresting scene; you can skip it.]
Ye Bai's lips twitched; he was almost at his limit.
[Preliminary estimate suggests that choosing the middle option will yield gold coins.]
Ye Bai decided to endure it one more time!
This time, even without the Eye of Insight interfering, Ye Bai, upon learning the truth, would not hesitate to choose the middle path.
Don't let his current wealth fool you; every day when he opens his eyes, the expenses of hundreds of people are recorded under Ye Bai's name.
The Shura Sea has such a big mouth, it could devour an entire Heavenly War God!
Frugality and diligence in managing a household, along with increasing income and reducing expenditure, are the key principles.
