“Yes.” Shen Yi nodded. “My skeleton army needs to evolve, and for that, we must face higher-level monsters.”
Professionals are ranked in 10-level increments.
The same applies to instances.
This has created a phenomenon where when a professional player first enters a new stage, they will find it very difficult to fight dungeons at the beginning. However, after leveling up by five, the level of dungeon monsters will actually be lower than that of the professional player on average.
Some people might say that for professionals, every 5 levels is considered a step up. Before level 5, they would struggle and have a hard time leveling up by grinding dungeons. After level 5, the difficulty of dungeons actually becomes easier, and at this point, professionals will focus on upgrading their equipment and weapons.
Continuing to run bronze-level dungeons is like stomping on weaker opponents, which is not the result Shen Yi wants.
"Trying to challenge a silver-level dungeon at level 16? I wonder if you're the first one in our year to do so?" Ye Qianyu smiled, her eyes narrowing.
Wu Yong scratched his head. "Boss, isn't this too big of a leap?"
"In silver-level dungeons, the monsters are at least five to six levels higher than us on average."
Shen Yi smiled. "Are you scared?"
"Of course...of course I'm not afraid!"
Wu Yong patted his chest, his face trembling, "I'm level 15 now! It's just a silver dungeon, right? I'm not afraid of that..."
Shen Yi looked at Ye Qianyu, "What level are you?"
"I'm also level 15."
“Actually, we can try challenging a silver-level dungeon.” Ye Qianyu thought for a moment. “We have Shen Yi’s skeleton army, which greatly increases our survivability. Under these circumstances, we should try a silver-level dungeon now.”
"But...it might not go too smoothly."
“Indeed.” Shen Yi nodded. “But it’s alright. If we encounter any danger, I will lead you to safety.”
"I'm not talking about dungeon challenges," Ye Qianyu sighed. "I'm saying that even participating in silver-level dungeons will be very difficult for us."
Shen Yi was taken aback. "Why?"
"Because of the guild."
Ye Qianyu explained, "The silver-level dungeons outside the city are tightly controlled by the guilds. Unless you join a guild, you'll have to pay extra to run silver-level dungeons."
"The price is very high."
Shen Yi thought for a moment, "How many do they want?"
"The payment method is not a fixed price, but a percentage of the revenue."
"Profit sharing?"
"That's right, they'll take half of what you got from this dungeon run."
Wu Yong's eyes widened. "This is way too dark!"
"Does the workers' union allow this kind of thing to happen? Aren't they going to do anything about it?"
How should it be managed?
Ye Qianyu looked at Wu Yong, "How are you going to manage this?"
Wu Yong fell silent. This was indeed a false proposition, and he couldn't control it...
Ye Qianyu looked at Shen Yi, "What do we do?"
"Elder Xing contacted me. I have to go see him. After I get back, I'll participate in the Silver-level dungeon."
"Boss, are you sure?" Wu Yong asked hurriedly, "If we want to participate in the dungeon, we have to give half of the profits to the guild. Isn't that just working for them for free?"
Shen Yi smiled. "Who said I was going to give them half of the profits?"
Wu Yong was taken aback. "You mean?"
"Go directly there."
"What if they don't let us participate?"
"They won't allow it?"
Shen Yi raised an eyebrow. "They will let it go."
"Hey, haven't you forgotten something?"
“Challenging the Silver-level dungeon is still a long way off,” Ye Qianyu said, looking at the two of them. “We should at least team up first, right?”
Have you thought of a name for the team?
Shen Yi blinked. "It has a name?"
"Of course!" Ye Qianyu's eyes widened. "This is a symbol! When we become a legendary team, our team name will be known far and wide."
"You can't be unaware of something this basic, can you?"
Shen Yi scratched his head. "I don't really care about this kind of thing..."
"In any case, we need to decide on a team name."
Ye Qianyu looked at Shen Yi, "And you are the captain of our team. You must personally name the team; that's the most meaningful thing to do."
"That important?"
Shen Yi sighed, "Just call them Tiger Squad or Lion Squad, any name will do..."
Ye Qianyu's eyes widened immediately. "No way! How could you come up with such a common name?"
"The Shenyi Squad?"
"..."
Even Wu Yong was speechless.
"This won't work?" Shen Yi thought for a moment, "The Undead Squad?"
Wu Yong shuddered. "Isn't this a bit too unlucky?"
Ye Qianyu glared at Shen Yi, annoyed. "Think about it carefully."
"I've thought about it carefully..."
Shen Yi was somewhat embarrassed. Naming things was his least favorite thing, otherwise he wouldn't have called his skeleton army the First Boss and the Second Boss.
Suddenly, Shen Yi's eyes lit up.
"How about the name 'Purgatory Squad'?"
"The Purgatory Squad?" Ye Qianyu was taken aback. "What is 'Purgatory'?"
Shen Yi chuckled.
Without Dante, there would be no Divine Comedy.
The word 'purgatory' would, of course, no longer exist.
"Don't worry about that, just tell me if it's okay or not."
"Torment...hell?"
Ye Qianyu pondered for a while, but couldn't seem to grasp anything, even though it sounded very profound.
She nodded.
"Okay, this one will do."
It's much better than the Lion Squad and the Tiger Squad.
Both Wu Yong and Ye Qianyu were somewhat excited.
"So, we're now members of the Purgatory Squad?"
Shen Yi nodded.
"yeah!"
Shen Yi was somewhat surprised by how excited the two of them were.
...
The three of them immediately went to the Professionals Guild to register and paid 500 points... naturally, it was Shen Yi, the team leader, who paid for it.
"Please confirm the team name, team members, and team leader's name."
"After confirming that everything is correct, you can sign here."
The receptionist smiled and said, "After registering in the team, changing your name will require 1,000 points and a six-month cooling-off period."
"Changing the team captain's name requires 100 points and also requires a 24-hour cooldown period. If the captain position is vacant for more than a month, the team will be automatically disbanded."
"Adding a squad member costs fifty points, and there is no cooldown period."
"You are now an E-rank team. You need to complete an Iron-rank dungeon once a month. It doesn't have to be in this city. After you complete it, you just need to submit an investigation report to the Professional Guild."
"Failure to complete the task more than twice will be considered as an application to disband the team."
The receptionist then gave some more instructions, which Shen Yi noted down.
However, he didn't buy any equipment on this trip, but he still spent 500 points for nothing.
It seems that Ye Qianyu has once again used him as a shield.
well!
