The dungeon, or underground maze, is a unique landscape in this world.
Because most of the discoveries are underground, the internal structure is as complex as a town or a maze, and is divided into multiple floors like a building, hence the name.
Who built those dungeons, for what reasons, and based on what principles? The existence of the dungeons itself is a huge mystery.
There are often powerful monsters in dungeons. Defeating them can get you a lot of rewards, including gold coins, materials, equipment and even skill scrolls.
Generally speaking, the deeper you go in the dungeon, the stronger the monsters become, and the more they drop when you defeat them.
It is said that.
If you reach the last level and defeat the guardian of the dungeon, you will gain inexhaustible wealth for your entire life.
In the carriage, Bai Jin shared the story of the underground city with Iyas with great interest.
Yang Yu knew all these basics very well. He did not ask Bai Jin to skip them. He drove the carriage towards the town and listened quietly to the conversation between the two.
"What will happen to the dungeon if the guardian is defeated and the rewards are taken?" asked Iyas.
"As time goes by, it is very likely to become an empty city. Once the monsters are eliminated and treasures can no longer be found, no one will visit the dungeon anymore and it will gradually be abandoned. However, there are also scholars who will try to study those dungeons." Bai Jin replied.
"Doesn't that mean that sooner or later, the underground cities in this world will completely disappear?"
"That's true in theory, but in fact, many underground cities appear suddenly. In history, there have been precedents of underground cities suddenly appearing in the center of a metropolis. When the city was built, no underground city was detected. As a result...
In addition, a deserted dungeon may also revive. A dungeon that has been cleared of any monsters or treasures may suddenly have new monsters and treasures emerge overnight. Such examples are countless in history.
So, no one can tell whether it will disappear completely or not.”
Bai Jin's ambiguous statement left Iyas confused.
Yang Yuze accepted the setting easily.
Dungeons are a common setting for most RPGs, and it is normal for them to be refreshed after a while.
In addition, dungeons also solve many unsolvable problems, such as the problem of combat effectiveness collapse in the late stages of many games.
If there is a space that can accommodate top combat power without affecting the main world, the balance of combat power can be well maintained and excessive collapse of combat power can be avoided.
Yang Yu once played an RPG with the theme of imperial war. Because there were no dungeons, in the late game, the combat effectiveness of a single soldier in the enemy country was equal to that of several generals in the early game. The combat effectiveness collapsed too thoroughly.
Yang Yu really couldn't figure out how two countries with such a huge disparity in strength could remain deadlocked for so many years.
If he was the emperor of an enemy country, he could just send a few high-level soldiers. Each person would be an army, and the whole world would be destroyed before the protagonists even leave the house.
There's nothing we can do about it turning out like that.
After all, the protagonist needs to grow. If there are all kinds of generals along the way, the enemy country will have no one available. If there are only a bunch of low-level soldiers, it will be boring to play, so you can only forcibly increase the level of the soldiers, causing the numerical expansion and completely destroying the combat effectiveness.
Many novels have similar problems. In the early stages, they talk about all kinds of "rare things", but once the protagonist reaches that level, those "rare things" immediately become as numerous as the hairs on a cow, and they are given away one by one. No wonder they become rare things.
Therefore, plot fans like to ignore the game values and discuss who is stronger and who is weaker from the perspective of the plot. It's not that they really want to ignore it, but many values are really not useful for reference.
This game is okay now. At least, from what I can see so far, Yang Yu has not seen any beings with abnormal combat power. Even if there are, it is not something he should be exposed to at his level.
After parking the carriage in a town called Qinghua, Yang Yu patrolled the streets. He could not find many people dressed as adventurers on the streets.
After hearing the news that a new dungeon had been discovered, many adventurers immediately organized a team and took their equipment to explore it.
and
Latidra Forest is an ordinary forest with no powerful monsters. Even if there are any monsters, ordinary C-level and D-level adventurers can easily deal with them.
Through the forest is the town where adventurers live.
To the east of the Adventurer Town is a vast forest sandwiched between two countries. There are all kinds of rare monsters in it, which often harass the border between the two countries, so there are often some tasks that even A-level adventurers are excited about.
Ada and Alo are adventurers who use the adventurer town as their base and are active in both forests.
Their levels are 32 and 33 respectively, which can only be regarded as low- to mid-range combat power for exploring dungeons.
From this, we can see that it is not easy to completely conquer that dungeon.
Of course, Yang Yu was not in a hurry to attack. They just went there to rub around and did not go deep.
Wandering around in front of the demon room to level up was Yang Yu's favorite thing to do when he first cleared the level with one life.
That's not called being a coward, that's called the secret to 100% winning.
As for treasures, once you reach a higher level and have the strength, won’t it be easy to get them
Why bother about the little profit in front of you
The only worry now is that others are too fast and it will be over before Yang Yu feels happy.
Therefore, in order to avoid having all the easy-to-get experience points snatched away by others, Yang Yu immediately pulled Bai Jin and Iyas to the dungeon without stopping.
The road to the dungeon is much smoother than imagined. The trees are not tall, and there are not even giant trees like those in the Goblin Forest that can block out the sun. Looking up, you can see the blue sky and even see a girl flying freely with the birds under the blue sky and white clouds.
"Um?"
Not only Yang Yu saw someone flying in the sky, Bai Jin and Yias also saw someone flying in the sky at the same time.
"Someone is flying in the sky?!"
Apart from the elves in the legend, Iyas had never heard of anyone who could fly in the sky. At this moment, she didn't know how to describe her feelings.
"It should be a magic called [Aerial Dance]. It is difficult for ordinary people to learn it."
Following the girl flying in the sky, Bai Jin began to explain, her eyes full of envy.
"Can human magic really reach this level? Are you sure it's not a giant dragon in human form?"
"I don't think a giant dragon would appear so cheaply." Yang Yu was not surprised for long, and raised his hand to point at the girl in the blue hat flying in the sky, "Iyas, here, can you attack her?"
