Thump, thump.
In the dark stairwell, the sounds of their heartbeats and panting echoed, and when they heard the footsteps fading away, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"He's gone," the woman in the leather jacket said softly.
The man with the earring beamed with joy: "Oh, thank God, we've finally escaped the clutches of Third Master and his gang!"
He immediately looked at Lin Yu, his eyes filled with fervor: "Brother Song Tianhuo, thanks to your reminder and help! It's truly my blessing to have you!"
Lin Yu frowned, seemingly lost in thought. After a few seconds, he said:
"Don't be too happy yet. Although we tricked them, we may not be able to kill them. If we run into them again, we will definitely suffer their crazy revenge."
The woman in the leather jacket shook her head and expressed her opinion:
"Third Master and the others are about to face monsters on three levels: level 4, level 5, and level 6. According to you, they can only use that blond guy to feed the monsters on one level right now."
"Aren't the remaining two floors enough to kill them?"
The man with the earring thought for a moment and analyzed, "Song Tianhuo's words make sense. We don't know what kind of trump cards Third Master and his group have."
"Assuming that Third Master and the others can deal with the monsters on the 4th and 5th floors on their own, and then throw Huang Mao to the 6th floor as a sacrifice, they can safely reach the 7th floor."
The woman in the leather jacket sighed, "Now that you've said that, I'm starting to panic."
Lin Yu shrugged: "I have another guess, and you might panic even more if I tell you."
"The method of sacrificing teammates that Third Master and his group know is just a misleading trick given by the dungeon. The correct way to clear the dungeon might allow them to reach the 7th floor more easily."
"The correct method?" The two looked at him with curiosity.
Lin Yu explained:
"Remember that line from the audience guidelines? [When riding the elevator, please do not refuse entry to other passengers, even if they are man-eating monsters.]"
The two nodded, pretending to think hard, then shook their heads:
"I don't understand the meaning of that sentence at all."
Isn't this statement misleading?
Lin Yu rubbed his forehead and said, "Of course not."
"If I'm not mistaken, the correct way to take the elevator is to wait until it reaches the second floor and then let the monster in."
The two were dumbfounded.
"This is outrageous! Letting all the monsters in here, do you want to die even faster?" the man with the earring questioned.
The woman in the leather jacket shook her head: "It's not that simple to just do it literally. What you can think of, Third Master and the others can also think of."
Lin Yu seemed not to hear what the two were saying and continued:
"Imagine letting monsters in; they would inevitably attack the people inside, as their instinct is to devour humans."
"Given the ingrained mindset, the people inside will inevitably fight back and kill the monster, which may be why others have tried but failed."
The two were once again dumbfounded.
The man with the earring: "This is getting more and more outrageous!"
Woman in leather jacket: "I wholeheartedly agree."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "If we continue along this line of thought, as long as all the monsters on the first floor survive in the elevator, the elevator will remain at full capacity."
"In this state, the elevator will keep going up and will not stop and open the door at every floor."
The man with the earring scratched his head: "Then how do we make the elevator stop on the 7th floor?"
Lin Yu: "Idiot! Why don't we just kill a monster when the elevator is about to reach the 7th floor?"
"Holy crap!" The man with the earring was stunned.
"It's that simple?"
If Lin Yu's judgment is correct, the side quest that originally required sacrificing teammates to barely pass has become a matter of being alone in an elevator with a group of level 2 monsters, surviving for several minutes, and finally killing one of the level 2 monsters.
"So, this is the correct way to approach the dungeon?" the man with the earring exclaimed, his gaze towards Lin Yu becoming even more fervent.
"Brother, you're awesome! I'm so lucky to have you!" said the man with the earring.
Lin Yu: "I'm truly impressed by you."
The woman in the leather jacket's eyes lit up: I never expected this.
There will be a smart guy on your team, and with him there, your chances of survival will undoubtedly increase a lot!
But soon, she started to panic.
"If Third Master and the others find the right method, we're doomed!"
The man with the earring nodded: "Fortunately, the monsters on the second and third floors have been killed. Even if they find the right method, it will be difficult for them to implement it."
The woman in the leather jacket retorted, "But with their strength, starting from the fourth floor doesn't seem impossible. We could still be finished!"
Lin Yu frowned:
"Alright, there's no point in talking about this now. The most important thing is to complete the side quest as soon as possible. Let's go upstairs!"
With that, Lin Yu took the lead and walked upstairs.
The two checked the control panel; the side quest countdown was 12 minutes and 24 seconds. Without further ado, they quickly followed.
In the pitch-black stairwell, gusts of cold wind occasionally swept through, not in the normal sense of cold, but in a chilling, damp cold.
At this moment, the man with the earring suddenly said, "We've been through thick and thin together, but we're not very familiar with each other yet. If you don't mind, how about we introduce ourselves?"
"Okay, I'll go first," the man with the earring said to himself, like a chatterbox.
"My name is Zhao Daqiang. I come from Shanghai No.1 High School. I am a level 3 earth mage. My two skills are [Earth Rock] and [Earth Spike]. I am good at defense and crowd control."
Level 3? Lin Yu was slightly surprised.
When Lin Yu saw him being chased and attacked by a level 3 monster, he thought it was a level 2 monster.
