Shen Jue returned to the courtyard, washed up, and reflected on her journey, summarizing its gains and losses.
The Black Sea side quest is stuck at 85%, with 15% still unfinished, which is probably related to that boss.
There's nothing we can do; that boss is indeed very strong. Although the hint mentioned that the boss has old wounds, even her best equipment can't completely harm him. His offensive power is weak, only causing him some trouble; ultimately, he's not very strong.
Just imagine how powerful that merman was, able to send her raft flying dozens of meters with a single flick of his tail.
Taking stock of her gains from this trip, she obtained pearls, coral powder, and a whole grid of strange minerals.
He also acquired abilities such as alchemy, object identification, telepathy, physical skills, internal energy cultivation, metaphysical divination, eagle eye, and evasion.
Brother Ke gave us 100,000 gold coins and their island token, which will make it much easier to contact them in the future.
Aside from the side quests I didn't complete, everything else on this trip was incredibly rewarding.
With her current strength, she has no problem fighting against S-class creatures, but she can't fight against double S-class creatures.
A creature of dual S-rank and a creature of S-rank are worlds apart; this is a significant dividing line in terms of strength.
She wants to become stronger, and the best way to do so now is to level up in the Dream Forest.
Through chatting, she learned that the Dream Forest dungeon had opened an elite version. Although the dungeon had been open for several days, there was only one reason why no one had cleared it yet.
That is, elite dungeons are different from normal dungeons; you can only unlock them by clearing them. This single point alone has stopped many people from accessing them.
Once, a player tried to avoid being visited by a neutral NPC and enter a dungeon, only to find that an elite dungeon had quietly appeared, and the player accidentally entered it.
As a result, players waiting to see if his move was successful saw his avatar go black; he'd been eliminated almost immediately upon entering the dungeon, becoming the first player to kill an elite enemy. (He was practically feeding kills to the elite dungeon.)
Players then noticed that the first dungeon interface that popped up when they opened the dungeon interface was the elite dungeon interface; if they didn't look carefully, they might accidentally enter an elite dungeon.
The scoundrel system is still determined to harm me.
Players were both furious and envious of the generous rewards from the elite dungeons.
Although money is tempting, none of the players who entered the elite dungeon have been heard from since.
Even the most generous rewards are only worthwhile if you survive. If you can't clear the dungeon, you'll have to stay there indefinitely, and if you're not strong enough, you'll be eliminated.
Compared to elite dungeons, normal dungeons now have no time limit, and players can leave at any time if they don't want to continue.
In summary, it's not that elite dungeons are too expensive, but rather that normal dungeons offer better value for money. They can help you survive, accumulate battlefield tokens, exchange them for rare materials, and synthesize gold equipment.
It's not too late to tackle elite dungeons once you've improved your strength a bit.
As a result, in order to get freebies from the normal dungeons, many expert players have started creating guides and streaming their playthroughs.
Which locations spawn the most Dream Beasts? Which types of Dream Beasts are easier to deal with? What methods can be used to quickly farm dungeons?
Some even openly advertise in the server chat that they'd carry a client through a dungeon, guaranteeing a clear as long as they could afford the stakes.
After learning all this information, Shen Jue couldn't help but sigh, no matter what world it is, there will be players like this.
These players don't want money now, they want all kinds of materials. Give me the materials, and I'll help you clear the dungeon.
You want battlefield tokens, I want materials—it's a win-win situation.
Because of the normal difficulty of the Dream Forest dungeon, the level of trust between players has become a bit more balanced.
Even the chat in the game servers has become much more harmonious. Of course, this is only on the surface; at least the hostility isn't as strong as before.
Since there are no examples to refer to in the elite dungeons, Shen Jue plans to try the normal dungeons instead.
While I was at it, I also tried to get some information about the elite dungeons from those players.
After thinking about the issue of the elite edition, Shen Jue nudged Lu Qingyuan.
Shen Jue: What are your thoughts on elite laptops?
After sending the message, Shen Jue didn't receive a reply. She didn't mind, and went straight to sleep, exhausted from the day.
On the other side, Lu Qingyuan, who was leading his team through a dungeon, suddenly received a message that received special attention.
But now is the perfect time to harvest the dream beasts, so I can't reply to her messages for the time being.
In order to check the information as soon as possible, Lu Qingyuan killed the dream beast more violently than before.
With a single strike, all the S-rank dream beasts fell to the ground, none surviving.
His actions drew the attention of his teammates.
"Brother Lu, who upset you today? Why did they hit you so hard?"
Lu Qingyuan: "No, hurry up, after we finish this spot, there's another one next time."
Yang Kele was on the verge of a breakdown. He yelled, "God, I just finished killing a wave of S-rank enemies, and now you want me to go to the next location? Are you a devil? This is not how you train. You're forcing people's rights."
"Don't make excuses. I think you just want to slack off. I think we shouldn't take you to run elite dungeons." Nan Zitong teased.
"Second sister, are you still my cousin? How can you talk to your brother like that? Which eye of yours saw me slacking off? I clearly killed the most during this training. You can't side with outsiders. Besides, whether or not you take me to the elite dungeon isn't up to you, hehe~" Yang Kele retorted, made a face, and then, afraid that Nan Zitong would get angry, quickly ran behind Lu Qingyuan.
Then I noticed that Lu Qingyuan was in a daze.
Yang Kele waved her hand in front of Lu Qingyuan's eyes.
Huh? No response? Is someone checking the panel again?
Since that's the case, Yang Kele's pretty face lit up with a sly smile.
Just as he was about to extend his wicked claws.
"Yang Kele, it seems the training I gave you wasn't tough enough. You dared to touch your cousin, you're asking for it." Nan Zitong punched him.
"Cousin, cousin, stop looking at the panel and save me! My cousin is going to beat me up, and she really is hitting me hard!" Yang Kele frantically shook Lu Qingyuan.
But Lu Qingyuan grabbed him and said, "What's all the noise about?"
Seeing Lu Qingyuan's cold face, Yang Kele and Nan Zitong dared not cause any more trouble.
Their cousin was only a few years older than them, but the aura he exuded always inexplicably made people afraid.
It's confirmed, my cousin is indeed in a bad mood today.
They should go train instead of getting into trouble here.
Nan Zitong and Yang Kele glanced at each other silently, then expertly walked to the soon-to-refresh Dream Beast location and began practicing again.
This time, we must pinpoint their weakness and strike decisively.
Lu Qingyuan, who was thought to be in a bad mood by his younger cousins, still can't figure it out.
He hasn't received a reply to the messages he sent to Shen Jue.
Could it be that his initial idea and subsequent thought process were flawed? If so, he might need to readjust his training plan.
Shen Jue's daily routine was always very regular, which led Lu Qingyuan to completely overlook the possibility that Shen Jue might be asleep.
After all, it's only 6 p.m., and even if someone went to bed early, it wouldn't be at this time.
In the end, Lu Qingyuan decided to wait for Shen Jue's reply before deciding whether to modify his training plan.
