Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Advantages
As long as the gang expands outward, there will inevitably be traitors within.
What's more, they are considered to be one of the well-known gangs in the magical continent.
So when everyone heard the news, they were surprised for a moment at first.
"MM has gone to investigate who leaked the news." He knocked on Tang Li's door and gathered together in her yard.
Tang Li took out the dishes and fruits she had made recently from her backpack and placed them on the table. Seeing everyone reaching out for their food very naturally, she reasonably suspected that the reason they chose to gather at her house was simply to have something delicious to eat while chatting.
However, she was also quite curious about who revealed the secret of the copy, and it would be better to get first-hand information.
"It shouldn't be difficult to check. Even in a gang, not everyone can access the dungeon." He took a cherry and put it in his mouth.
The level of the dungeon is far higher than that of the current mainstream players. In their gang, only the top group of pioneering players can access the dungeon, and the rest are just the few groups in the gang and the elite players in the groups.
"If only it were that simple," Ju Renshi shook his head helplessly. "There are only about 1,000 people in the gang, and about 100 of them have direct access to the dungeon. No matter how hard we try to keep it secret, it's inevitable that people will talk and it's hard to say who will leak the secret."
"Whether he accidentally let out the secret or did it on purpose, there's no way this person can stay here." He could tell from Ju Ge Li Zi's protective intention that his words were unclear, and he frowned slightly as he spoke.
After this period of expansion, the number of people in their gang has become considerable. Sometimes when Tang Li goes out to do things, she can't make sure she knows everyone like before.
So she actually has some affection for those familiar faces who used to yell "Big Boss, I'm hungry" every time they met her.
Knowing that the person who was leaving this time was most likely one of these people, and possibly even one of those with whom she had a good relationship, she couldn't help but feel complicated.
"This is the kind of education we have received in the military academy." Seeing Tang Li's discomfort, Li Zi quickly spat out the fruit core in his mouth and explained.
"Is that so?" Tang Li nodded in understanding. If it were the army, it would be normal to have such strict discipline.
"If Brother Ju's behavior happened in school, he would definitely be punished." He added with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Ju Lizi sighed helplessly. "I'm a little hesitant because there's no clear clause in the contract regarding unintentional disclosure of secrets."
The establishment of the gang was a spur-of-the-moment decision at the time, and many things were not prepared in advance. The contracts signed with professional players were adopted from other companies.
Of course, there are strict penalty clauses in the contract regarding betrayal, but if it is an accidental leak of secrets, firstly, the contract will not stipulate it in such detail, and secondly, even if there is a corresponding punishment, it will not be as severe as the military academy regulations.
Seriously speaking, this was also a mistake in their work. Considering that the game is not an army after all, excessive punishment may cause objections from other players. That's why he was worried. Why did He Yan say that he should be punished to such an extent?
He glanced at Tang Li, unable to express his meaning. "Even the law needs to be improved step by step, let alone our small gang. First, find out who leaked the information, then let MM refine the contract and sign a supplementary agreement with everyone."
"Okay." Juerlizi nodded, realizing that the meaning was that if the person who leaked the information was unintentional, he would only be punished but not fired.
He Biduoyan and Li Zi also understood his subtext and were a little surprised.
Hebi Duoyan touched his chin and said, "Boss, you..."
What about the principles they agreed on? In all the years they'd known each other, the boss had never made an exception for him. Even if the game didn't need to be taken too seriously, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the person who had made the boss change his principles.
When the matter is over, he must go and take a good look at who this divine being is.
"Idiot." Li Zi saw through his thoughts and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
While the logistics department was actively searching for the mole, the forum also exploded with this news.
When most players were at level 13 or 14, Fengyu Tongzhou actually discovered a level 20 dungeon. This news was really explosive.
Even though the Fengyu Tongzhou gang is indeed very famous, with several first-time clearances and traffic from delicious food that even NPCs are fascinated by, with the rise of other novice villages and gangs, even if this gang is indeed something in everyone's perception, it will not be the kind of opponent that is far ahead and invincible.
"Could it be that they've been deliberately making up this news because their popularity has dropped recently? How could they possibly find a level 20 dungeon now?"
"It just sounds fake, and honestly, even if there was a level 20 dungeon, it's impossible for their gang to clear it at their current level. I really don't understand why they would do this."
"Their gang is actually quite impressive. Let me post a few pictures for you to see. Their gang occupies 30 of the top 100 spots in the world rankings. They even occupy the majority of the top 100 spots in the Principality of Oran. As for the rankings in Silver Town, that goes without saying. [Picture][Picture][Picture]"
"Damn, is it so awesome to stand together through thick and thin?"
"I was really shocked when I saw it. I've been fed too much brainwashing content on the World Channel. I always feel that there are many powerful gangs. Although I know the name Fengyu Tongzhou and subconsciously think they are quite powerful, most of the time I have the impression that they are weird doomed delicacies."
"...It does feel like I've made a fortune in silence, but even at this level, challenging a level 20 dungeon isn't going to be easy."
"Am I the only one curious about how their gang managed to reach such high levels? Did they find a good spawning spot, or did they have some kind of fortuitous encounter?"
"How could anyone tell you something like this?"
"Since they've leaked the secret copy, why aren't they leaking other information?"
"What sweet dream is upstairs?"
"Perhaps the key to their rapid leveling is that they found a level 20 dungeon. After all, it's widely acknowledged that dungeons offer high experience points."
"Their gang's level has always been rising quite fast, right? Unless they found this dungeon a long time ago, there must be other secrets to leveling up."
"The level gap is too great to break through the monster's defenses. Putting aside the question of whether the dungeon information is true or not, even if they had found a level 20 dungeon long ago, they wouldn't have been able to gain that much experience."
"Everyone, stop arguing. The current focus isn't on whether or not discovering a level 20 dungeon is logical. Several novice villages close to the dungeon have already been explored, and it's confirmed to exist."
"Wow, so they're really going to fly again?"
“Far ahead, far ahead again!”
"You can tell the people upstairs are from Silver Town. It's too early to say you're way ahead now. Discovering a dungeon doesn't mean you've cleared it. Don't make a big fuss now, or someone else will steal the show."
"It's a fact that we're far ahead. Let me help you recall. Who was the first to build a novice village, the first to own a goblin auction house (and even now, the only one), and the first to clear the novice dungeon...? To pick peaches in silence, you first need peaches. Don't worry, the big guys in our town have already cleared the dungeon, while you haven't even found the entrance."
"Damn, the guy upstairs is so arrogant, it's like you did all this!"
"Come and fight me one on one if you dare!"
"So is it really because of the dungeon that they level up so quickly?"
The forum was in chaos.
Why bother closing the forum? He sighed with some worry: "Netizens from other places can only argue online, but these novice villages near us have already started taking action."
The Song of Elves copy is quite far away from their Silver Town. Apart from them, several other towns with good strength can also get there without much effort.
In addition, with the increasing popularity of "Magic Continent", more and more novice villages are springing up nearby. Although the levels of these new players who have joined the game are not high enough to challenge the level 20 dungeon, they can still cause trouble.
After all, everyone is in a competitive relationship. If He Bi talks too much about himself, he will definitely not miss this good opportunity to weaken the enemy's strength.
"Let's take action. The copy is right there, and we can't stop others from going there." Li Zi yawned while lying on the table.
Everyone in the gang was very motivated these past two days, and she couldn't just sit idle, so she could only passively follow suit. When she finally got the chance to sit down and rest, with her friends all around her, the atmosphere was so good that she couldn't help but start to feel sleepy.
As for the discovery of the copy, no one really took it seriously except the big fool He Biduoyan. At least in her opinion, no one in the gang had leaked the secrets so seriously.
He smiled helplessly and reached out to touch her head.
"Li Zi, why are you like this? You have no gang honor at all. Others have already reached the door of the dungeon. What if they get the first pass?" He Biduoyan stared at Li Zi's lazy look with wide eyes.
If Jue Li Zi hadn't been standing there watching her closely, he would have helped her up from the table and shook her shoulders vigorously to cheer her up.
There are many things like dungeon tokens. As long as you find the location, you can quickly find other ways to enter the dungeon. Isn't this how several groups in their gang entered the dungeon?
Could it be that Li Zi is so naive as to think that this little obstacle can stop other players?
"That's why I said you're a fool," Li Zi raised his head lazily, "Think about when we were going to clear the dungeon?"
"Night...night, what's going on?"
"Then why do we choose to do the dungeon at night?"
"Because we can only sneak into the village at night..." Hebi Duoyan's eyes lit up, and amidst everyone's speechless gazes, he suddenly realized, "That's right!"
Without the night vision potion, it would be very difficult for others to clear the dungeon. Unless they had a level crush and could directly enter the village by storm, there would be no chance during the day.
But then again, if the other players were at a level that allowed them to force the attack, those with higher levels would have already cleared the dungeon. After all, the core members of their gang were basically at the top of the world rankings.
"I finally understand it. It's not easy." Li Zi pretended to be exhausted and wiped the non-existent sweat from his head.
They gathered here for a long time to discuss how to punish members who accidentally leaked secrets, because the existence of the night vision potion was not leaked.
If the other party intended to leak the information about the copy, there is no way they would let go of the night vision potion.
"Brother Ju, please take care of her. Li Zi is bullying people!" He Biduoyan felt that his IQ was discriminated against, and he let Li Zi, who was standing next to him, make the decision for him.
"Haha." Looking at Ju Li Zi who was pretending not to hear anything and eating silently, Ju Li Zi smugly mocked He Bi Duoyan.
"Woo woo, boss..."
"..." This is none of his business, right? He ignored Hebiduoyan's pitiful gaze.
"Xiao Li..." This was his last hope. If even the kind-hearted Xiao Li refused to make the decision for him, he would declare himself the most pitiful person in the world.
"..." Tang Li was indeed a little overwhelmed by the aggrieved expression on the face of such a large and tall man. She silently stuffed a steamed bun into his hand and changed the subject, "It's impossible to really restrict players to stay in the safe zone at night. But I don't believe it. There are not many players who fight monsters at night. Even if someone knows about the night vision potion and equipment, it will probably only be circulated within a small circle. Will the level 20 dungeon completely open up players to fighting monsters at night?"
Just like the Song of Elves, if you don’t have the night vision potion, you will probably have to wait until your level is high enough to crush the dungeon in order to get through it, but that would be too unreasonable.
Moreover, several of the night vision potions they obtained last night were dropped in the dungeon, which is another strong proof.
"Xiao Li has a point. Some dungeons are quite time-consuming to farm, and precise timing is impossible. Having to return before dark every time you're in the middle of a dungeon is a real letdown. For the sake of player experience, lifting restrictions on nighttime monster farming is the general trend. However, whether level 20 dungeons are the key to lifting restrictions remains to be seen until level 20 dungeons are released in other regions."
Tang Li nodded, it was indeed too early to draw a conclusion now.
"But if the drop rate of night vision potions and equipment in level 20 dungeons really increases, then we have to hurry."
Night vision potions are the key to their gang's level up, and also their advantage in clearing the level 20 dungeon. With so many people discovering the dungeon, there will always be a few who drop night vision potions or equipment, and by that time their advantage will no longer exist.
"Hey, let's all work hard to level up these next two days." For example, he sighed.
Whether it's a pioneering team, a dungeon sprint team, or even the monster spawning points with combat flight skill books that have now been given to late-stage players, they all need to use a large amount of night vision potions. While the advantage is still there, they must quickly increase their levels. After most players can kill monsters at night, it will be more difficult to widen the gap with everyone else.
"MM has almost finished the investigation."
"The Qingtuan team has also organized the players to learn how to make night vision potions. They should be able to ship out a large quantity in the next two days."
"I will try my best too." Tang Li raised her hand quickly when she heard that. After all, she was one of the gang leaders. Could she stay out of it when everyone was busy?
"Come on." He seemed to be amused by Tang Li's sense of ownership and couldn't help but laugh, his voice full of joy.
It's rare to see him so happy.
Tang Li: “…” She felt inexplicably weird but couldn’t help but take another look. This guy looked pretty good when he smiled.
After seeing the four people off, Tang Li closed the gate and returned to the studio to start refining medicine.
The quantity of sunlight wheat and moonlight wheat is still too small, and the research on other medicinal materials is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Anyway, there is no inspiration for new potions yet. Tang Li plans to adjust the arrangements for the next few days and start refining the night vision potion wholeheartedly.
Her recipe comes from Mentor Zoe, and its effect is better than ordinary night vision potions. The 100% purity of the potion further enhances the effect of the potion. Even though there are always some debuffs, the potions she makes are always the most sought-after in the gang.
Of course, because the medicinal herbs grown in the gang are basically grown from seeds improved by Tang Li, everyone's potions actually also have debuffs.
Tang Li also didn't know whether her potions would still be the most popular if she made a batch of potions without debuffs.
If everyone knew about her lack of confidence, they would definitely refute her, saying that her improved seeds not only have debuffs, but also have superior medicinal properties.
The potions made by pharmacists using such medicinal materials are no different from the high-quality potions made by the hidden potion profession. However, the potions made by pharmacists who are themselves hidden professions are even more effective.
So if everyone is given a choice, whether it is a pharmacist or a player who uses potions, they will definitely choose the potion with debuff, so she really doesn't need to belittle herself.
But Tang Li didn't know, so she was a little nervous when making the potion. In her opinion, the debuff of cooking could be offset by delicious food, but if the potion only enhanced the effect, its competitiveness would inevitably be less, and it was natural that it would be disliked.
"So, after all, cooking and potions have to be combined together!" Tang Li made up her mind while practicing potions. The potions are both delicious and effective, so this way she can resist the disadvantages of debuffs, right?
After refining the potion for most of the day, she handed it over to the warehouse with a guilty conscience. Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Li cleaned up the studio, and gathered with Xirang Chong, Cibuduyi and others to enter the dungeon to kill monsters.
By the evening, the players had already dispersed, so they entered smoothly.
"It's more peaceful to kill monsters at night." He Biduoyan couldn't help but sigh a few words. They were not idle during the day, but compared to the monster spawning spots with large crowds of people, the dungeon at night was still better.
“Go, go, go!”
After so many days of clearing the dungeon, everyone was already familiar with some of the early routes and monsters. After applying the night vision potion, there was basically no need for any instructions, and everyone began to attack the black robes in a familiar manner.
The efficient monster killing allowed Tang Li to level up again when she left the dungeon.
This is the benefit of having an advantage. Even though Tang Li hasn't killed monsters during the day for a long time, her current level is basically at the upper-middle level among players.
Of course, in addition to mastering the advantages of night vision potions, she was also able to achieve this thanks to the reliable friends who gave her a lot of experience.
After finishing the leveling that night, they didn't get any more night vision potion recipes, but the God's Hand next door dropped one, and Benming Mantou, whose luck was comparable to Tang Li's most of the time, also dropped one.
Compared to the drop rate of other monsters at night, the drop rate of night vision potion formula in the dungeon is indeed much higher.
Tang Li, Cibuduyi and the others exchanged a glance, becoming more certain of their previous guess.
[Throughout the years, we have been together] MM: The results of the insider investigation are out.
[Management of Feng Yi Tong Zhou] MM: An elite member of our group accidentally let the secret slip, and the insider who just joined the gang heard it and spread it.
"High spirits?" Tang Li felt that the name sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, she remembered that it was the priest who had been with her on the day of the dungeon. Just like his name, Tang Li's impression of this guy was that he was quite talkative. At that time, the team consisted of management and unfamiliar teammates, but he told several jokes to liven up the atmosphere in that environment, which showed how agitated he was.
It's not surprising that such a talkative person would let something slip.
MM explained in the group.
Shen Cai Fei Yang wasn't even talking about any dungeon news at the time. He just mentioned it accidentally when talking about Sunlight Wheat Buns with a few elite players he lived with. As a result, it was accidentally heard by a passing insider.
[Management of Fengyitongzhou] Benming Mantou: I’m really sorry, it’s all my fault that I didn’t manage the members well.
Benming Mantou no longer had any joy at all about the night vision potion recipe being dropped.
At that time, in addition to Tang Li and a few others, there were also him and the members led by God's Hand. As a result, the two people led by God's Hand were fine, but something went wrong with the people he led. You can imagine how bad his mood was at that moment.
After this incident, in addition to being punished for being a good person, he also had his performance deducted. This time he really learned a lesson.
Although Benming Mantou is a bit eccentric and sometimes hated, he actually has a good relationship with others. Right now, everyone in the group is mainly trying to comfort him.
[Through the Wind and Rain Together Management] The words failed to express the meaning: This matter ends here, and everyone should be careful with what they say and do in the future.
The words were not clear enough, and the matter was basically settled. Benming Mantou breathed a sigh of relief.
[Wind and Rain Together Management] Benming Mantou: To make amends, I will treat everyone to a meal later, so please feel free to order as much as you like.
[Through the Wind and Rain Management] Lucky Star: Great, I want to drink the drink next to our restaurant, the blueberry flavor!
[Management of Fengyitongzhou] MM: I want to eat barbecue, the most popular one in town!
[Through the Wind and Rain Management] God's Hand: Lucky Star's boss rarely speaks up. So, is he a foodie? Surprising yet not surprising, I want the same drink as him!
[Through the Wind and Rain Management] Li Zi: I think it would be better to set up a table at the Misfortune Restaurant and bring everyone’s orders!
[Management of Fengyutongzhou] Benming Mantou: No problem, I will reserve a seat for tomorrow right away.
