Chapter 33 33. Boss, do you know it’s dark here now?
"Dylan, do you know how the underground city came about?"
The old bat cannot be defeated for the time being, and other things are on track. Lin Jun, who has some free time, thinks about the dungeon again.
Under the torch, Dylan, who was trimming the corners of the coffin board, stopped his work and scratched his head, thinking:
"how come?
Sorry sir, I haven't thought about this question.
I heard a story when I was a child. It said that a brave man fought a great battle with the devil and opened up a passage to the abyss, thus forming an underground city.
But a lot of logic doesn't make sense, and it's obviously just a simple story.
As for whether there are other explanations, I don’t know.”
This story really sounds like two supreme beings fighting until the galaxy was shattered...
"Then no one among you studies these?"
“Yes, the people in the Relic Association do this, and they have been issuing rewards for relevant clues for a long time.
Unfortunately, that kind of mission is just a look, and the valuable clues have been found in hundreds of years.
I've never heard of anyone getting rich from this."
"Then can you get this information from that association?"
Dylan waved his hands after hearing this.
“Impossible Boss, the Relic Society is an official organization affiliated with the United Kingdom.
A bottom-level adventurer like me can't even get through the door.
I am not a thief, so I cannot help you steal the files you want."
As expected, it didn’t work. This was not beyond Lin Jun’s expectation. He was just asking.
Unlike the natives like Dylan who are accustomed to the dungeon and regard it as a normal part of the world.
In Lin Jun's opinion, many places in this underground city were too regular, and were obviously specially arranged.
There must be a lot of secrets behind it.
But it seems that he hasn't had the chance to get in touch with it yet.
Speaking of which, adventurers can’t enter the bottom, but the Duke’s daughter should be able to enter, right?
Should we try to let Dylan contact Inanna?
After thinking for a while, Lin Jun still felt that there was no need to rush this matter and that it could be done slowly.
I don’t know what Inanna’s current situation is yet. I’ll ask Dylan to find out first.
"Boss, I have something to ask you."
Dylan's slightly hesitant words drew Lin Jun's attention back.
"What's up?"
"Just...why has the fifth floor been getting darker recently?"
dark?
Yeah?
Lin Jun really didn't feel anything about this, as he saw things differently.
After careful analysis, I found that Dylan's words were quite tactful.
It's not just dark, the entire class is almost completely dark...
Although there is no sun in the dungeon, there are almost no completely dark floors.
The glowing fireflies or the luminous stones in some rock walls can provide a certain degree of brightness.
The fifth-floor dome is covered with fireflies, making it the brightest among all floors.
So what about fireflies?
Why are all the domes turning into mushrooms?
He didn't really notice when his fungal blanket climbed onto the dome.
It looks like the fireflies on the fifth floor are almost being eaten to extinction.
It turns out it’s my own fault…
Although the complete darkness had no effect on him, it was obviously not conducive for adventurers to come and trade, and Dylan also seemed to be in a very inconvenient situation.
I don’t know how long it will take to grow the firefly grass back to its original size?
Or should we just use fluorescent mushrooms?
Although due to the problem of skill compatibility, fluorescent mushrooms are far less bright than fireflies.
But now the whole floor is full of mushrooms of all sizes, and it is definitely not dark after the fluorescent light.
It seems that this is the only way for now.

"Collect the slime core... ten firefly plants... two-headed snake venom sac..."
In the lobby of the Adventurer's Guild, Vera was selecting tasks from the bounty board.
A pair of childhood sweethearts were sitting on stools not far away, and Feiyin was obviously in a low mood.
The last time they were attacked by looters, they not only lost a lot of equipment and supplies, but they almost lost their lives.
If those two marauders hadn't provoked Puji, they wouldn't have been able to come back.
After coming back, Feiyin seemed very reluctant to go to the dungeon.
Vera also understood, but one has to earn money to live on, especially after having just lost such a large sum of money.
After discussing it with Fei Ling, he decided to take on some simple upper-level tasks to make a living.
We will make further decisions based on Feiyin’s recovery condition.
If it really doesn't work, it's not impossible for a few of them to change careers and become caravan guards.
Noisy discussions continued to be heard. Although the guild was usually very lively, it seemed particularly noisy today.
Vera discovered that a lot of people gathered around the exclusive task board for the official task over there.
Is there an official new mission coming out?
Just as Vera was about to squeeze into the crowd, a giant furry paw violently separated the crowd.
The unexpected push caused him to stumble back a few steps, with a strand of brown hair stuck to his lips.
“Pfft—”
He's a hairy guy...
A muscular Khajiit walked straight to the task board, his shiny fur glowing amber in the light.
The people around were cursing, but they honestly took half a step back.
The tiger man glanced at the task board and reached out to take off the latest A-level task.
Coming to the counter on the right side of the hall, the tiger man slapped his adventurer ID card and task list on it.
"Register for the mission."
Behind the counter was the guild's signature receptionist, Helena—a pretty lady with long red hair.
The two seemed to know each other.
Helena took the ID card, glanced at the tiger man and the leopard teammate behind him, and asked casually:
"Inigo, why is Dumbwind back? Where's Percy? Why can't I see him?"
"Stop talking so much! This is not an inspection for entering the city. Just register for me quickly." Inigo looked impatient.
"It seems that the archipelago is really dangerous..."
After Helena finished muttering, she ignored the tiger man's ugly expression and reminded him according to the guild rules.
"Inigo, the recommended number of people for this A-level mission is 3 to 4 gold-level adventurers. I suggest you go find..."
Bang--
The tiger man slammed his palm on the counter, interrupting Helena's words.
"Don't treat me like a newbie and give me advice. The two of us are enough. Hurry up and register!"
Helena raised her eyebrows, not angry at all for being yelled at, but she did not return the ID card to the tiger man directly after registering.
"What's the meaning?"
Helena stretched out her finger and pointed at the cracked counter.
“%@#&*%&*…”
Inigo threw 7 silver coins on the counter, then angrily took back his ID card and called the leopard man who was traveling with him to leave the guild hall together.
After the tiger man left, Vera stopped an adventurer beside her and asked what mission everyone was so concerned about.
"What else could it be? Those mushrooms everyone's been talking about lately!
The guild has finally issued a mission to investigate the cause of the mutation."
"Then those two orcs..."
"I don't know him, but those who can take A-level missions must be gold-level masters."
Vera recalled all the troubles she had encountered on the fifth floor from beginning to end.
For a detailed investigation, we must enter the swamp area that is strictly guarded by the Pujis, right?
Can two gold-level adventurers really handle it?
