Ning Buwen found out enough information and went back from the restaurant.
According to the waiter, there are quite a lot of people who have been converted to regular employees recently. However, from his information, he cannot immediately confirm who his companions are.
But there is no rush.
The dungeon has just begun. Instead of rushing to find companions, it is better to observe this world carefully first.
After all, this is the ninth generation player world, it is definitely not that simple.
Ning Buwen's high-end apartment has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, which is about 80 square meters in total. Apart from the bedroom, the rest of the space has been converted into a training room with various training equipment.
This is the case for the rooms of official members of the legion. Even outside of dungeon time, they are not allowed to relax.
For example, the floor where Ning Buwen lives has about 50 rooms, and the soundproofing is very good. The lobby on the first floor of the apartment is the canteen, where different foods are available for different people to choose from at different prices.
Ning Buwen checked the price of the prop cards here again and found that the ninth generation of prop card sales system is very mature, a bit like Taobao style. As long as you enter the effect you want, different prop card purchase pages will pop up, but whether there is stock is another matter. It is not easy to have an account on such a purchase page.
The original body was just a reserve before, and had only experienced two D-level copies and one C-level copy. The best evaluation was only a B. He only had three prop cards in his hand, all of which were the lowest level prop cards, and they were disposable.
But in this prop mall, all the cards that Ning Buwen took a look at were worth over one million.
Alas, there is nothing you can do if you have such good eyesight.
Ning Buwen sighed and had to accept it.
Soon, several regular members including Ning Buwen went to the legion for a meeting. The main purpose was to organize these new members into different teams and assign them to different dungeon clearance tasks.
Ning Buwen was assigned to a B-level team, mainly responsible for BC-level copies. If he performed well, he would be promoted to an A-level team. By the way, if he could enter the rookie list or the global rankings, the promotion speed would be even faster.
Positions are determined purely by ranking. The benefits of this are obvious. All players will continue to move up in order to get better treatment. However, a good player may not be a good leader, which results in a large difference in strength between different legions. Some leaders are ranked high, but the overall strength of the legion they lead is much worse than that of others. At this time, politicians will take advantage of the situation and interfere in legion affairs under the pretext of "cooperative management."
The ninth generation is really confusing.
Generally, people who are not smart enough will die in these internal struggles instead of in Pandora. They are far less united than the people of their generation. It can be seen that behind each generation being stronger than the previous one, there are many players of the previous generation who silently work behind the scenes to make it better step by step.
Ning Buwen has not yet made it onto the newcomer list or the global list, so naturally he cannot see his ranking on this list.
Secretly, Ning Buwen actually wanted to find the Cheng Yuxue of this era.
If I remember correctly, Cheng Yuxue should have become famous in this generation. According to the Northern Merman, he died in the eighth generation. This means that Cheng Yuxue has not died since the ninth generation. He has mastered enough power and accumulated enough experience from the previous eight generations of reincarnation.
In other words, Cheng Yuxue should also start from the ninth generation and move up step by step. It is even possible that Cheng Yuxue will also start as a newcomer, and he should be a dark horse with super strength.
Ning Buwen went to ask the waiter for information, but in fact he also wanted to find Cheng Yuxue.
I don’t know if it’s because Cheng Yuxue is not in the nearby legion or for some other reason, the waiter didn’t mention his name.
It seems that it is impossible to get to know Cheng Yuxue of this era in advance.
The legion has been ranked over 70, and Cheng Yuxue still doesn't know which legion he is in. Moreover, in this era, the relationship between the legions of different forces is as hostile as fire and water. If you want to find Cheng Yuxue, you can only get on the list yourself!
Ning Bu Wen temporarily suppressed the thought of looking for Cheng Yuxue and focused on improving his original body's strength.
After becoming a regular employee, Ning Buwen immediately received a mission to go to the next C-level dungeon with his assigned team members, with a time interval of no more than one week. However, when the day came for the next dungeon, he found that only four of the original eight team members showed up, and the remaining four all found excuses to ask for leave.
In fact, after becoming a regular member of the army, if they can go to the dungeon twice a month, they can pass the assessment. After completing two times, the others are not willing to take risks anymore. Therefore, when there are extra tasks, there are always some people with backgrounds and connections who use other excuses to ask for leave.
Ning Buwen didn't really care about it, but the other team members seemed indignant. Without so many people, it would mean that the risk factor would increase when they went to the dungeon, so they were naturally not happy about it.
"When we enter the dungeon, you must follow me all the way and are not allowed to do anything unnecessary." The only veteran in the team spoke up.
There was a hint of hostility between his brows, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with his current life. "Our dungeon this time will be much more difficult because we don't have many people. Therefore, it is important for us to save our lives and complete the lowest clearance rate. Don't take any risks. Also, don't be fooled. Unless you can establish your name on Pandora's ranking list, no matter how much you do, it will only add glory to those people with connections."
Ning Bu Wen responded obediently. Now he still wanted to try his best to see the situation first.
"Let's go."
"yes."
"Welcome to Pandora Game." The customer service blew bubbles, exactly the same as in Ning Buwen's memory. It did not stay on Ning Buwen's body, and said in a businesslike manner, "The name of your copy this time is Haunted House No. 21. You just need to successfully survive in this haunted house for two days."
"It's a supernatural dungeon?" The veterans in the team turned green when they heard the requirements of this dungeon. Regardless of the era, supernatural dungeons are the places that players are most reluctant to go to. Moreover, the people in their team have almost no special ability to target supernatural bosses, so the difficulty coefficient will be raised several levels!
The other team members also looked unhappy, but things had come to this point, and they had no choice but to go through the dungeon. If they managed to come out alive, they would definitely take revenge on those who had asked for leave.
Ning Bu Wen sighed silently in his heart. The quality of these people is worrying.
However, compared to this, Ning Buwen was more concerned about the fact that in this virtual real copy, Pandora's game was actually reproduced exactly.
Just thinking about it, it feels so sour to play Pandora's game again in the world of Pandora's game copy.
But at the same time, it's also terrifying when you think about it carefully.
There is no time requirement for completing this instance.
They become another person, have another person's memory and physique, live in a strange world, and have to go through levels again and again in this world to pass the Pandora game. It's okay in the short term, but over time, I'm afraid even the players' self-awareness will be affected.
Maybe after a few years, the players who come to this copy will think that they are really the ninth-generation players, and then gradually assimilate and no longer remember their own identities, just like the mutation they once caused on the Eighteenth Train.
This is not impossible; on the contrary, it is incredibly likely.
Ning Bu Wen looked down at his hand. The Ring of Time was still firmly on his finger.
It is worthy of being an S-level special item. Even in such a realistic copy world, it sticks firmly to his hand.
Ning Buwen didn't think for long before following these people to the haunted house required by the dungeon. This haunted house was a rather old western-style house with many rooms, a kitchen and toilet. If it wasn't explained in advance that this was a haunted house, it would be really hard to find anything wrong.
"It's still daytime, so let's take a rest first. This kind of supernatural dungeon will be tougher at night." The veteran took a look at the place and began to give orders.
"Captain." Ning Buwen came closer and said cautiously, "Captain, do you think it would be better for us to stay in the hall together?"
Although he was not the captain due to his seniority, Ning Buwen called him the captain as a small compliment to him. As expected, the other party did not deny the title.
If the real captain is not here, then he will naturally be the captain.
"What do you mean?" asked the veteran.
"We don't know the origin of this haunted house. Customer service only asked us to survive in this haunted house for two days, but didn't say we can't go out. Why don't we leave a few people sitting in the lobby and not go in and out of the rooms here at will, so as not to touch things that shouldn't be touched. Then let someone go out to inquire about the origin of this place. Maybe we can find a few powerful NPCs to help us?" Ning Bu Wen said cautiously.
In fact, according to Ning Buwen's own idea, in this kind of copy limited to a small place, the fastest way is to set a fire first, burn it, and burn out the evil spirits in this place first.
It was broad daylight, and there was fire. Even if the boss here was powerful, it would be greatly reduced after being weakened. If they worked together, they might be able to clear this instance completely. Even if they couldn't kill the boss in one go, escaping would be no problem.
If there are many NPCs in the world outside this haunted house, someone will definitely come to put out the fire when they see this place on fire, and they can get a lot of information at that time. If no one comes to put out the fire, it proves that this place is very remote and they need to find another way. But no matter what, as long as this place turns to ashes, they can stay in the open space for two days, and they can attack or defend. How can they play a C-level copy
Unfortunately, this method is a bit risky and requires everyone to work together. Before there is a safe method, no one is willing to risk angering the boss. If Ning Buwen had known his teammates before, he would have guaranteed that the fire would be lit within ten minutes if he had just said this.
Unfortunately, here, Ning Buwen can only settle for the second best and use the safe method first.
"What you said makes sense." The senior employee looked at Ning Buwen in surprise, "You are Zhou Qi, the new employee."
"Yes." Ning Buwen nodded in response.
"That's right, I'll do as you say." Although the veteran has a bad temper, he also knows what's good for him. If there is a backbone in the team to lead the team through the test, he will not put on airs even if the opponent is a newcomer. If possible, who is willing to risk their life
To put it bluntly, many players who join the Legion in this era come here for high salaries and benefits, and they do it essentially for survival. So, after maintaining the minimum expenses, they naturally cannot be allowed to work too hard.
In addition, the Legion treated Pandora's information as a treasure and refused to disclose it, which resulted in the members of the Legion with low status not knowing much about these dungeons. When encountering such supernatural dungeons, not only did they not have much common sense, but they also demonized the bosses and believed that they were invincible. Little did they know that these ghost bosses relied on the players' fear. The more afraid they were, the stronger they became.
In a dungeon like this, most people know that they must not disperse and must stay together. If they really can't, surviving for two days without sleep is nothing, but it may take some effort to escape at the end.
Generally speaking, staying in this haunted house without going out is a bad idea. A better way is to first understand what happened in the haunted house and introduce other NPCs into it, so that you have more chances to turn the tables.
The feeling given by having a backbone in the team and not having a backbone is completely different.
Since Ning Bu Wen has taken the initiative to assume this responsibility, he will naturally not retreat. He just needs to be a little restrained when passing levels and copies, and not bring out his own methods.
What he is doing now is actually following this principle.
He had to first pull the NPCs in this virtual reality to his side.
Ning Buwen estimated that with his own ability, if everything went smoothly, it would not be a big problem for him to become the leader of the legion within one or two years. By then, he would be able to win over all his companions and lead the players of this era to complete the game together. In this way, the risk factor would be greatly reduced, and he would also be able to take the opportunity to understand the world of Pandora.
The ideal is very beautiful, but the current reality is that Ning Buwen has to lead such a group of stupid teammates to pass the test and win their hearts at the same time.
This process is really heartbreaking.
He had told them many times not to run around, and not to shout if they encountered anything strange, and to just sing nursery rhymes and the national anthem to give themselves courage. But there were some people who didn't listen, and not only shouted, but also directly stimulated their physical strength to wreak havoc here. Ning Bu Wen was so angry that he almost wanted to feed this guy to the boss!
"Damn, this is real." Ning Bu Wen dodged a ghost's attack with difficulty. Seeing the wound on his wrist and the dull pain, he became more and more certain that this was definitely Pandora's conspiracy.
If there is a problem in the copy of this kind of copy, they will really die. The copy bosses in these copies actually attacked Ning Buwen all at once
Damn, waiting for him here!
Ning Buwen doesn't think this is a problem with his character, so it must be Pandora's problem.
Players from the future who enter the dungeon will be targeted by the boss when they complete the dungeon missions in the dungeon. If they are not careful, they will die in it.
Rather than saying that virtual reality is a copy, it is better to say that it is a collection of countless copies.
Pandora really knows how to do business.
Let them go through so many copies, and give them a reward when they finally pass it.
Black, really black!
Ning Buwen managed to keep all the team members alive and received a B+ rating. For a newcomer who had just been promoted to a full-time employee, this result was truly surprising.
Almost everyone looked at him with envy, shock or admiration.
I would rather not ask than feel tired.
I wonder how many years it has been since he got a rating lower than A
It was such a simple copy, but he only got a B+. It was such a shame!
However, this did not stop Ning Buwen from climbing up.
The first time I managed to keep everyone alive was by chance.
After the second, third, and fourth time, it is definitely not a coincidence, but absolute strength.
Ning Buwen quickly became famous within the legion.
When he led a team to a dungeon, the survival rate was almost 100%. When a team member died occasionally, it was confirmed that the team member had committed suicide and no one else could be blamed. Moreover, the evaluations that Ning Buwen's team members could get were almost all above B+, and occasionally once or twice they could even reach A-level evaluations!
How could such results not be shocking
In just two months, Ning Buwen was promoted from a newly-promoted member to the level of team leader, and his residence was also changed from a small apartment to a detached villa. There were countless people willing to work for him, and the momentum was huge.
However, what makes Ning Buwen depressed is that, although he is now quite famous, none of his friends have come to him to get to know him
Could it be that I am the only one among the several legions nearby
Now let's talk about the other people.
Wen Duoduo was assigned to the 9th Legion and became a messenger-like person. He was trying every possible way to earn money for food for his monsters and was having a very hard time in the dungeon world.
Originally, Wen Duoduo was a speed player who completely relied on his physique. His vampire physique allowed him to be both offensive and defensive, with extremely strong recovery ability. He also had the special ability to develop blood servants, and he completely relied on himself to conquer the world. Now he has become an envoy player. He was originally a fragile player, and the Warcraft could not afford to support him, so he almost became the bottom of the world.
If Wen Duoduo had not seen how the team leader raised Azhi, he would really know nothing about raising magical beasts.
An Buli's luck was obviously worse.
He became a girl.
After discovering how unlucky she was, An Buli almost fainted. Fortunately, although she had become a girl, her physical abilities were quite special and precious. In the army where her original body was, she was also one of those who were vigorously cultivated. It could be said that there were both advantages and disadvantages, and it all depended on what An Buli thought.
Solomon turned into a werewolf.
He is quite satisfied with his current situation.
It is impossible to say that Solomon did not envy Rita's werewolf physique. Although his own abilities were not bad, and he had contracted various powerful magic plants, which often enabled him to exert unimaginable attack power. But as a young man, who would not want to defeat the enemy with his fists
Solomon knew how to improve his werewolf physique. In addition, although the legion system of this era was different from that of later generations, it was like a fish in water for Solomon, who had been educated as a politician since childhood.
In this regard, Solomon's promotion speed within the legion is even faster than Ning Buwen!
Ka Suo's progress was slow. He was quite introverted and a little lonely. He knew that he was not suitable for these promotion routines, so he just honestly acted as an ordinary member of his team and waited for other partners to come to him.
Real world.
The three major legions all sent out high-level exploration teams to clear the virtual real copy. They definitely did not just send out members and then let go completely.
They would naturally try every possible means to find out the information in this copy.
Cheng Yuxue seemed particularly calm.
He didn't seem to be in any hurry at all.
The members of the security team observed the king's whereabouts and mood every day and found that he was very stable and did not look worried at all.
Xiaowu drank two bottles of wine in a row before he mustered up the courage to step forward and ask.
"My Lord, aren't you worried about the situation? I heard that the virtual reality completely reproduces the scene of the ninth generation of players. Don't you have a ring that can watch the situation? Why don't you go and see it?"
They were previously dragged by the king to watch together, but now Cheng Yuxue did nothing, which made the security team members easily think too much.
"Don't worry." Cheng Yuxue replied while watering the flowers, "If this copy really reproduces all the scenes of the ninth generation, then I don't have to worry at all."
"What does this mean?" Xiao Wu was stunned.
"When I was in the ninth generation, I was probably the most curious about the world." Cheng Yuxue thought for a moment and replied, "At that time, I was a little abnormal."
Cheng Yuxue of the ninth generation finally got through the extremely long rookie period and finally began to transform into a big boss.
Similarly, Cheng Yuxue, who obtained the enormous power of the sea god but gave it up and even so witnessed the failure of the eighth generation of players, can be said to be in the most self-destructive and unruly period of his life.
What a pity.
Cheng Yuxue felt a little regretful.
It would be nice if the virtual reality was to go back to the past, so that he could remember something. Unfortunately, this copy was not the past, but just an overly elaborate copy.
Xiaowu almost thought he had heard it wrong.
You're abnormal enough already!
After talking to Cheng Yuxue, Xiaowu became even more worried. When he went back and told his companions, everyone started to worry about Ning Buwen.
"... The king said that he was abnormal at that time, how abnormal must he be." Xiao Qi said with great sorrow, "Maybe if I hadn't asked, he wouldn't have died in the dungeon, but would have died at the hands of the ninth generation king!"
"Now that you mention it, I think the possibility is very high. What should I do?"
"Not really. Maybe the king will like me if I don't ask?"
"Uh... being liked by the king at that time would be the biggest trouble."
The members of the security team were silent.
All they can do is pray for no one.
