Dragging two floating discs out of breath, Wutong and the others quickly ran back to the underground market. Perhaps they sensed the aura of a large number of living people, and the pea demons who had been appearing around Ruoyin Ruoli finally retreated.

Even if it is a level 3 necro creature, it dares not rush into the place where the crowds gather. After all, there are few heroic and legendary figures among the human race, but there are still a large number of elite classes at level 3 and 4. Any one of them can kill it. [..com]

Seeing the crowd walking around him occasionally casting curious eyes at them, Wutong breathed a sigh of relief. The challenge of dealing with elite creatures was quite difficult... No, it should be said, very, very, very big!

Players have been in contact with "Endless" for so long. Nowadays, except for those who are engaged in deputy positions such as scholars, xxx personnel, or auxiliary positions such as handicraftsmen in various industries, most of them have officially taken up their posts and become formal professionals, which is the so-called "first-level profession", and have become accustomed to the various rules of "Endless".

In terms of game progress, "Encounter" has officially passed the early stage and entered the medium-term development stage. According to the usual game difficulty of "Encounter", the players' strength has reached a "high level". It begins to develop horizontally and accumulate enough foundation to climb higher levels. This is the so-called "level level".

To put it simply, with the standard of "0-order to level 1", the difficulty of "first-order to level 2" is probably more than ten times greater than "first-order to level 1". "2-order to level 3" means "up", which cannot be estimated by multiple difficulty. Without certain opportunities and luck, you may always be stuck in and unable to move!

Therefore, the indigenous NPCs that players can access at present are basically the main ones, and the second level is already very advanced. To describe it in reality:

Level 1 is the "village chief", Level 2 is the "country chief", Level 3 is the "town mayor", Level 4 is almost considered the "district mayor", Level 5 is considered the "mayor", Level 6 is considered the "governor", How many governors are there in a country?

The 7th and 8th grade figures already belong to the human-type strategic nuclear bomb at the State Council level! There are people who are all national treasures. Such a rank pyramid can show how difficult it is to improve the rank in the "endlessness". Once you encounter a rank level, the foundation of the "pyramid" is not laid solid enough, and the "height" will naturally not be reached.

It can be foreseen that for a long time in the future, players will probably be trapped in and around.

In this case, as a 1st-level profession, it is undoubtedly a kind of dying behavior to deal with 3rd-level people. Wutong and the others can take it out of an elite without any harm. In addition to their own strong foundation and being the best among the players, it is also because the Pea Demon Ghost is not a real elite monster, but a "wild elite, pseudo-elite" that has a sudden change. It only has an elite template and does not have the foundation of a real elite. Otherwise, if you encounter a real elite monster, Wutong and the others will be killed directly, and they will not even have time to defend.

This made Wutong feel scared. He originally felt that he was already very awesome, but when he fought against real high-level creatures, he discovered a huge gap in strength. No wonder people said, "The world is getting older and older, and the courage is getting smaller and smaller."

The more you know, Wutong did not dare to rashly run into the high-level ruins with the strength of the 0th level when he was on the island of trial. Moreover, they were lucky enough to wander around and come out alive when the ruins were not officially alive. It is a miracle. It is better to be cautious in the future for dangerous areas like this. The loss of hanging once is quite huge, and the loss is not just experience.

"What should we do now?" Ling Yue Shuangxue looked at Wutong: "Leave the underground abandoned city?"

"That guy is eyeing us. As long as we leave this market where crowds gather, it will come to us. This guy is not something we can deal with now, it is not that our damage power cannot kill it, but that our skills and spells cannot hit it at all, and we can't even hit it. So why are you still here?"

Wutong looked at the huge dark space outside the market: "Anyway, we have obtained the information and clues related to the mission. We can complete the mission by returning to the ground and reporting the message. However, the mission rewards will not be too surprising..."

They have always been accustomed to exceeding the original difficulty of the task and completing the additional task quota, and they finally encountered difficulties. They are inevitably a little uncomfortable. This is the interesting part of the task system of "Endless", an ordinary task that may seem trivial. As long as you are willing to dig, it can even be expanded into a large chain of tasks!

"... Let's go! Anyway, the area of ​​the underground waste city is so large, and the number of underground water conservancy pipelines is so large, so there are definitely not few ghoul dens hidden everywhere. It is impossible for a few of us to complete the entire mission. This mission has been expanded into a large-scale mission facing the entire player level."

Wutong himself did not expect that it would just unintentionally bring the injured teammate back to the city, which would actually trigger such a huge game event. The "cause and effect rules" of the core consciousness master are too powerful.

The group of people who didn't dare to stay, under the guidance of Zara, returned to the ground world through another passage located in the market. When they came up, they saw that the entrance and exit were actually in a small house in a remote civilian area not far from Mercenary Street. According to Zara, this place was actually the stronghold of a thief guild!

This is so secret that it is endless. Even if someone searches and destroys the strongholds of the Thieves Guild, he will definitely not find the entrance to the underground abandoned city hidden in the secret underground passage of the Thieves Guild's stronghold!

Back on the ground, it was already at night in the city and it was in a state of curfew throughout the city. Ferhavan, who was originally like a city that never sleeps, seemed extremely quiet at this moment. Wutong and others who appeared on the street were soon discovered by the patrolling law enforcement knights and almost arrested them. In the end, Wutong revealed his identity as a baron and explained that there were important information clues about the plague and wanted to meet with the leader of the law enforcement knights. Then he was escorted by a small team of law enforcement knights to the headquarters of the law enforcement knights.

“…Is the underground abandoned city?”

In the reception hall of the Knights Headquarters of the Law Enforcement Order, the Knights Commander who had seen before frowned: "If this is the case, it will be difficult..."

Although he did not explain why it was "difficult", Wutong could guess a little bit. The power in the underground waste city was complicated and was less subject to official control than the mercenary street in the outer city of Ferhavan. Although he must have known the existence of the underground waste city, if the Knight, the official law enforcement officer of Andele, easily gets involved in the underground waste city, it may cause unnecessary internal chaos.

Especially in the underground abandoned city, there are many professional guilds mixed in. Although it is a tacit matter for everyone to understand, if it comes to the table, it will affect the stability of the entire Andele Guild!

Not to mention the professional guilds walking in the shadow of Yin, the thirteen dragon pattern families with power throughout the Kovare Continent are each a behemoth comparable to a state institution. It can be said that they are an empire without land restrictions. Even the Andele royal family dare not easily get along with it!

There are three main Dragon Patterns that are active in the Andel Guild, namely Wutong and others who have been in contact with it, the Cannes family headquartered in Fairhaven City, and the Lelander family headquartered in Storm Island, where the family headquarters are located in the Orene family in Tonglu City.

Any of these three dragon pattern families are giants whose powers span multiple countries. Stomping your feet can cause uproar among the countries. Thousands of years of operation have allowed their power and industries to establish deep and complicated root systems among the countries of Covare.

Once they turn against it, the entire country's economy and transportation will probably be paralyzed, which will lead to the royal family of various countries being deeply afraid of these families and having to get along with them. This is similar to the relationship between some countries in the European region and the wealthy chaebols in reality. These families can even control and manipulate the country's politics and economy in disguise.

In this case, how dare you make a decision easily if you ask a small law enforcement officer, the Knight Commander?

To put it bluntly, the law enforcement knight is similar to the police in reality. The actual power and status are far lower than the army. Moreover, the law enforcement knight is mostly composed of small nobles or new knights, which is far from the status of hereditary knights who control the army. When encountering such a thing that may shake the foundation of the country, even the leader of the knight does not have the power and can easily order what to do.

"Okay! I know this. I will report to Her Majesty the Queen, the Prince of the Auxiliary and the Ministers in person. I will also report to Her Majesty the Queen's achievements..."

After thinking for a while, the Knight Commander felt that this matter had exceeded his ability, so he decided to report the incident and let higher-level people make a decision. This disappointed Wutong and others and were both expectant. What was disappointed was that they could not get the reward from the Knight Commander. What was expected was that once this task was raised to the level where the Queen needed to decide, the expected level of the reward would double.

It was almost dawn that Wutong and the others who did not intend to sway outside, so they just found a bar to sit in a bar and planned to go to Will Forest to level up after dawn. The contact with the elite monsters made everyone realize that their strength was too low in the world of "Endless".

"...I guess this will eventually fall on us 'adventurers'."

Wutong held a glass of comprehensive juice and glanced at Zara and Wood who were sitting with Xiaoxiao honestly. He did not use the word "player". Although he said directly that the players would not have anything, it would inevitably cause curious questions from the indigenous people. After explanation, he was interfered with by the "fuzzification mechanism" of the core consciousness master after half a day, and he could only leave it alone. The indigenous people would never be able to figure out the origin of the players and what was going on in another "world" besides Covare.

Therefore, players who are used to this usually use "adventurers" as their own claim, but the meaning is different from the group of adventurers understood by the indigenous people.

"Why do you say that?"

Ling Yue Shuangxue was a little puzzled: "The monsters in the underground waste city are not something that players can compete with at present. If you enter, you can only die, right? I mean the elite monster."

According to their experience, if there is a nest of ghouls near an underground reservoir, there will inevitably be one.

The existence of Oss is just about nothing. It is basically a level 3 monster like the Pea Demon. For current level 1 players, it is simply impossible to kill.

“It’s because

Oss cannot be xxxed, so the mission will fall on us adventurers. Currently, players are generally level 1, and they can just clean up those ordinary level 1 ghouls, while level 3 ghosts cannot be cleaned up, so new ghouls will be generated continuously, attracting more players to go there. The corpses of players hanging underground will become new ghouls, constantly cycling."

Wutong shrugged, "In this way, the underground abandoned city underground in Fairhaven City has become a new 'leveling map'. The official of the Principal of Andele is not easy to come forward due to the problems involved by various forces. It is natural that adventurers and mercenaries are needed to be responsible for this matter. If I guess well, the royal family will issue tasks to the Mercenary Guild and Adventurer Guild in the name of a reward, and players who have received the mission will venture into an underground abandoned city that is almost as huge as the entire Fairhaven City, or even more complex."

"sweat!"

Ling Yue Shuangxue looked around and couldn't help but lean into Wutong's ears, lowered her voice and switched to Asian American language instead of the game: "So, isn't we opening up a leveling map? Is this what we have promoted the game process, or is the game process driving us?"

The girl's breath lingered in Wutong's ears, which made Wutong shrink her neck a little awkwardly. He laughed dryly and said in Asian American language: "This is the difference between "Endless" and traditional online games. The core consciousness's 'cause and effect rules' is really amazing."

Zara and Wood looked at the two of them blankly. As shapeshift monsters who are good at disguising themselves as others, Zara himself is a language master and knows more languages ​​than Wutong, but it is completely unable to understand the conversation between them. This is also a way for players to discuss secretly when trying to avoid the indigenous people.

As long as the native language is not directly synchronized into what is used in the game, the indigenous people will not understand what they say. Unfortunately, this rule cannot be used to talk across races. Some sad barbarians can only remember the benefits of speaking among themselves.

After looking outside the bar, Wutong found that it was almost dawn. She stood up and threw a few silver coins on the rough log strips of the bar. She was a bar girl who was dozing off at a distance. She tipped her late-night disturbances and waved to Ling Yue Shuangxue and Xiaoxiao: "Let's go, we have to go to Mercenary Street. I have some things to explain to Xiaoxiao and Xiaoba."

As the sky gradually became a beautiful black green, a new day in Fairhaven City began again. The coachmen drove the carriages to run on the streets. Although they were still shrouded in the shadow of the plague, the situation was already controlled to the smallest extent. Therefore, after the curfew was lifted, some indigenous people began to go out of their homes and live their lives day after day.

Wutong estimated that after the news he reported was passed on, the senior Andele, who knew the source of the plague, would think of ways to solve the spread of the plague in the city, such as dropping it into the water source, or instructing civilians to use the water source from Yongquan instead of using the water source in the cold and cold water channel. After all, the ghouls are entrenched in the groundwater reservoir, and the water in the underground lava spring is still pure... No ghoul would be so stupid that they soak themselves in boiling water with a mean temperature of more than 100°.

Back at Mercenary Street, there are already many people here. After all, players are more diligent creatures than indigenous people. It is a common practice for every player to prepare for travel before the city gate is opened.

When Wutong and the others walked to "The Secret Shop No. 44", they unexpectedly discovered that Xiao San and Europa's handsome girl Lorena Arthurine, who had gone out to do the task, actually came back. Seeing Wutong and Xiaoxiao, the two craziest girls in the female xing job rushed over and grabbed the little loli for a while.

“Ah!

oss! It's been so long since I saw you, you've just kidnapped two elf girls from there?" Xiao San looked at Zara and Wood closely behind Wutong in surprise.

"Elf girl? You're scared to death when you show your true form!"

Wutong sneered, too lazy to explain to her, "Don't mess around! These are the two newly accepted ones. When will you come back?"

"I came back yesterday. Isn't this a curfew? We rushed in Fairhaven before the door was closed, so we took a break in a nearby hotel."

Xiao San snatched the little loli's Joker, pinched and chuckled, "There has been a lot of work in the town of Oraon recently. After we finished the task, Sister Ling asked us to come back first to see if there is anything we need to help here. If nothing is wrong, we will escort another batch of supplies today."

Lin Linling and Lean Pig almost transferred all the manpower in Fairhaven to the town of Oraon. It seems that there is indeed a big operation there. Wutong, the manager of the hand-off, is not very interested in these things. He always digs the pits, no matter how much he finds, and throws them to them to take charge of any business.

"Okay, we'll set out with you later, and it's time to go to level up... In addition, I'll also go to Will Forest to catch a suitable magic pet."
