Chapter 50 Safe Zone 1 (5) - Dungeon Guide
Li Mengqi replied with a "you wish!" look, "Of course, I can't just let you team up for free."
Ning Shu thinks this game and its players are both awful!
Li Mengqi: "Of course, there are also many people who team up to do it, and in those cases, you don't need to pay points."
But it depends on the player's own skill level. Everyone is just helping each other out, and sometimes players will betray each other.
She circled around Ning Shu and the other two: "However, your talents and skills are all very impressive."
Self-preservation is not a problem; forming your own team to farm dungeons without joining an organization is also an option.
Cheng Chuan: "So joining the organization isn't mandatory?"
Li Mengqi: "Yes, but joining an organization also has its advantages. Besides being in dungeons, it also provides some protection within safe zones."
For example, if someone causes you trouble, and you say which organization you belong to, people will generally be reluctant to give you face.
The organization collects membership fees so it can stand up for its members.
Cheng Chuan: "Is there anything else we need to be aware of?"
Li Mengqi thought for a moment and said, "By the way, try not to go out at night in the future."
Although there are patrols in the safe zone, many players still act recklessly and get robbed or assaulted.
The three nodded.
"Also, you don't need to worry about entering fixed instances within the safe zone, but it's possible you might enter non-fixed instances."
Although the latter chances are relatively low, you should be prepared.
The so-called safe zone is a territory drawn by players based on experience, which is not easy to enter a fixed instance.
For non-permanent copies, there is no such thing as a safe zone.
This popular science explanation exceeded their knowledge base.
Cheng Chuan sensed something was amiss: "What's the difference between fixed and non-fixed instances?"
Li Mengqi: "You can camp in a fixed location for a fixed dungeon, but there are usually several dungeons nearby."
Which instance you get to is entirely up to luck.
Generally speaking, entering a fixed instance is not too difficult.
However, non-fixed copies can appear at any time and in any place, and their danger is difficult to estimate.
Some people say it's relatively easy, while others say it's relatively difficult, but regardless, it scores a high number of points.
The only downside is that if you encounter something difficult, you might not be able to get out.
Wu Yi also figured out what was going on: "So it's better not to enter non-fixed dungeons?"
Li Mengqi: "It's not fair to say that. Some people are just after more points and like this kind of dungeon."
I can only say that everyone has their own ambitions, but I would still advise you that you can go if you want to in the future.
It's not advisable to risk your life now that you're not fully developed; those who run these kinds of dungeons are usually high-level players.
According to Li Mengqi, the game will not actively invite players to enter dungeons they have already entered.
However, players can purchase "Reverse Journey Cards" from the shop to enter dungeons they have already cleared.
To enter a dungeon that has not been cleared before, you need to use a "pass".
Players can enter dungeons that have been cleared or not cleared simply by using these two types of cards; they don't need to wait in specific locations.
Also, regardless of how long you stay in the instance, the time outside the instance is always 3 days.
This means that for those who stayed in the safe zone, the players who were running dungeons only left for 3 days.
Fixed dungeons can be farmed by camping out at fixed locations, but there are two problems with farming them multiple times.
The first problem is that it will increase the difficulty of the dungeon.
This isn't something caused by just one person doing it; it's the result of too many people doing it. Nobody knows the exact reason; it's just everyone's personal feeling.
The second problem is that the reward points will gradually decrease until they reach zero.
This dampened the enthusiasm of many players, so many players stopped frequently running the same dungeon.
However, some players don't grind for points; their goal is to farm items.
Because the items obtained from the same instance and the same person can be different each time, some people will keep running the same instance for specific items.
These people are the main force behind increasing the difficulty of dungeons.
Hearing this, Ning Shu had a question: "Wouldn't that harm a lot of newcomers?"
What if you enter a dungeon that's been constantly getting harder by expert players? You might just get killed right from the start.
Li Mengqi smiled: "Don't worry about that. There are many instances of the same instance. Newcomers can only enter a few fixed instances that are particularly difficult."
Furthermore, the system doesn't seem to assign new players to overly difficult fixed dungeons.
To put it simply, the difficulty of a fixed dungeon will generally not be too high if both newbies and experienced players are present.
"If you're not a newbie, isn't it very dangerous to be in the same dungeon as a pro?" Ning Shu sensed something fishy.
Li Mengqi nodded: "That's right."
Ning Shu: "How do you identify a top-tier player?"
Li Mengqi: "Generally speaking, those who are highly capable and work alone have a high chance of success."
If you've encountered this, it means the dungeon might be more difficult than you expected, so be careful.
Ning Shu: "What if it's a non-fixed copy?"
Li Mengqi: "That depends on luck. It has nothing to do with whether there are any expert players on the same team. It depends on whether the game is fair or not."
Sometimes the difficulty is so high that even expert players get stuck, but the chances of encountering that are relatively low.
Since the chance of encountering non-fixed dungeons is relatively low, there's no need to worry for now. Ning Shu is concerned about another issue:
"Sister Gangmeng, you said that fixed dungeons are basically located near fixed locations. Are there any related maps for sale?"
Li Mengqi: "Yes, 100 points."
Ning Shu's smile immediately froze, and then he fawned over Li Mengqi, shaking her arm and saying, "Sister Meng, do we still need to talk about points?"
Li Mengqi felt that Ning Shu had misunderstood, so she quickly explained, "It's not that you're buying it from me, it's from other players. I don't have this map."
Cheng Chuan asked curiously, "Then how did you know...?"
He suddenly stopped, thinking of the "Drawing World" app, guessing that Li Mengqi had already entered the corresponding location into the app.
Changing the subject: "Can I share that map you have?"
Li Mengqi smiled and said, "What do you think? If it's possible, I don't need to waste my breath talking to you. I can just transfer it to you directly."
Ning Shu had already guessed this, and she was too tired to even complain about the game anymore. She was simply too exhausted to say anything more.
Li Mengqi: "I can tell you which places have which dungeons. You can write them down first, and then pay attention when you go to the corresponding places in the future."
Upon hearing this, Ning Shu said, "Then we don't need to buy a map."
Li Mengqi: "I didn't say you wanted to buy it."
Okay, I guess I was being too clever for my own good.
Li Mengqi said, "I can't think of anything else for now. You can ask me if you have any questions, or I'll let you know when I think of something."
Since they couldn't go out at night and had no entertainment, the three of them started exercising again.
The coach was Wu Yi, and he taught them some indoor training methods, which the three of them practiced with great enthusiasm.
Li Mengqi couldn't help but marvel at the energy of young people.
Ning Shu couldn't fall asleep, whether because she had slept too much during the day or because she hadn't adjusted to her sleep schedule.
But she didn't dare to toss and turn, worried about disturbing Li Mengqi's sleep.
Once people are full and no longer worried about danger, they tend to overthink.
Ning Shu was like that; she actually started recalling every little thing she had spent with Cheng Chuan during this period, especially the kiss they shared during the "bumper car" activity.
