Chapter 33: Chance!

Views:

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Ran didn't say goodbye.

Because, he knew that it should be impossible for him to return to this novice dungeon.

So, carrying many items including [Venom-M1] and two [Iron Fist-II] bazookas on his back, Kieran raised his right hand with difficulty, saying goodbye to Ke Lin and Maggie.

The two girls also waved back to Qin Ran.

Colleen opened her mouth to say something.

However, when it was time to leave, Qin Ran didn't hear Ke Lin's words clearly at all, and the bright light when he entered the dungeon appeared in front of his eyes again, forcing Qin Ran to close his eyes, and once again used his palms to cover the glare. glare.

Then, the ensuing weightlessness made Qin Ran uncomfortable for a moment.

When everything returned to normal, Kieran found himself in a warehouse-like tin room.

The room in front of me was full of dust and cobwebs.

The word dilapidated cannot fully describe it.

The only thing worthy of praise is that it is large enough to allow five buses to pass side by side, and it is not a problem to park ten buses.

"This is the game hall?"

Qin Ran looked around, feeling a little uncertain.

At least, this place is completely different from what he imagined.

Even if it doesn't come up with a variety of dazzling game halls like other virtual games, it should be cleaner, right

Qin Ran frowned slightly as he looked at the dust that could clearly print footprints.

However, Kieran soon focused on his spoils.

He carefully checked his backpack and belongings.

After discovering that [Viper-M1] and two [Iron Fist-Ⅱ] bazookas were all there, but the [U-Ⅱ] grenade, [M1905] pistol, magazines, cans, and water were missing a lot, Qin Ran He sighed helplessly.

"Sure enough, it's a little bit reluctant!"

Before, with Ke Lin's help, Qin Ran completely reached the limit of carrying weight—a kind of appearance that he could barely stand, but could not move.

Qin Ran was lucky.

But obviously, such a posture is still classified as overweight.

"fortunately!"

Qin Ran looked at [Viper-M1] and the two [Iron Fist-II] bazookas, and once again shouted in his heart.

If these two weapons were lost, he would really be in pain.

As for giving up other items, guaranteeing these two weapons

Qin Ran naturally thought about it.

However, Qin Ran didn't know where the limit of his own weight was, he thought he could handle it.

If Qin Ran was given a hundred kilograms of rocks to carry, he would definitely hesitate.

But if Qin Ran is given 100 kilograms of federal currency... Qin Ran not only thinks that he can carry it, but also run, faster than anyone else.

For Qin Ran, his own property was his life.

"We must find storage equipment!"

Qin Ran thought subconsciously.

boom!

The sound of an explosion suddenly came from outside the room, waking Qin Ran who was thinking. Almost instinctively, he picked up the sniper rifle [Snake-M1] and pointed it at the door.

But... the door fit perfectly!

Even if Qin Ran judged that the explosion point was just outside the door, it would be the same.

The sound of explosions did not end. On the contrary, like dominoes, successive explosions began to appear.

Boom boom boom!

The continuous explosions, Kieran concluded, were around this room.

But this seemingly dilapidated warehouse iron house is safe and sound.

"this?"

Qin Ran instinctively guessed.

Then a paragraph of text appeared on Kieran's retina—

[A war broke out between Steam City and Steel Chariot, players are requested not to leave their houses to avoid being affected!]

"Guild war?"

Qin Ran was taken aback.

Qin Ran, who used to work in Dajin Studio, was no stranger to this.

However, what Qin Ran didn't expect was that he encountered such a thing as soon as he entered the underground game.

The words appearing on the retina did not stop because of Qin Ran's distraction.

Words appear in rows—

[Newbie Dungeon: City in War]

[Copy Nature: Free]

[Copy Difficulty: Low]

[Main task: Survive for three days]

[Mission completion: 100% (obtained basic evaluation: F)]

[Sub-task: Rescue more civilians until the end of the war, each rescued civilian can improve customs clearance rating]

[Mission completion: 200% (rescue Ke Lin and Maggie—evaluation increase: F→E)]

[Battle performance: very positive (evaluation improvement: E→D)]

[Exploration performance: general (no improvement)]

[Special Evaluation 1: Kill the Rebel Major Saruka (Evaluation Improvement: D→C)]

[Special Evaluation 2: Kill Rebel General Zhan Ning (Evaluation Improvement: C→A)]

[Newbie Dungeon Benefits: Upgrade rating by one level!]

[The player's final evaluation is S!]

[Player novice dungeon harvest calculation... ]

[The results of the final players' novice dungeons are as follows...]

[Points: 3000; Skill Points: 3; Gold Skill Points: 1]

[The player has no serious injuries and does not need treatment!]

"3000 points? 3 skill points? 1 gold skill point?"

Looking at the final income, Qin Ran, who has no reference, can't determine the value of it, but judging from the evaluation of the recruit S, he should have gained a lot.

"The player completes the novice dungeon, the channel opens..."

Just as Kieran was checking his income, a mechanical sound appeared in the room.

With the appearance of this mechanical sound, an LCD screen stood out on the wall facing the door in the room where Qin Ran was located, replacing the original iron wall.

After a brief black screen, three rows of choices made of huge characters began to appear on the LCD screen.

Shops, forums and dungeons.

Following Qin Ran's gaze, the comment appeared immediately.

[Shop: supply various raw materials, bullets and basic weapons, armor, medicine, sundries, and provide players with skill upgrade services]

[Forum: A platform for players to communicate and trade with players]

[Dungeon: A world where players take solo and group adventures]

(Tip 1: For a single-player dungeon, after each entry, the cooldown time is one week-time ratio, no matter how long you are in the game, the reality is one hour)

(Tip 2: Multiplayer dungeon (at least 2 people), after each entry, the cooling time is one month)

(Reminder 3: Enter a single-player or multi-player instance at least once in three months. Those who do not enter will lose the game qualification and be judged as the death of the game character)...

Qin Ran glanced over, and stared at the [Copy] column for a long time, with surprise in his eyes.

It's not about the time in the copy or the cooldown time. Kieran who has experienced other virtual games has already expected it.

What surprised Qin Ran was that he had to enter a single-player or multi-player dungeon once every three months, otherwise the game character would be judged to be dead.

"If you completely break away from the game helmet, is it just the death of the game character? Or will you also take yourself along?"

Qin Ran frowned.

He couldn't figure out what was going to happen.

"It's still too early to earn enough treatment fees, what's the use of thinking about it now!"

Qin Ran laughed at himself.

Then, immediately start browsing in [Store] [Forum].

Focus on the value of points and the price of equipment.

Qin Ran has never forgotten his original purpose of entering the underground game: to make money!

And such browsing must be quite time-consuming.

After spending nearly two hours, Qin Ran only glanced at it roughly.

First, there are points.

In the forum, some players buy it at a price of 20-30 federation currency per 1 point.

However, there are very few sellers.

Obviously, this price is on the low side.

This is naturally good news for Qin Ran.

Because, this represents a novice dungeon for him, and he has harvested at least 60,000-90,000 federal coins, which is almost several times the sum of his previous three years' income.

And then there is [Shop]!

Just like the system description, there are only basic items and various raw materials, and there is no powerful equipment as imagined, let alone skill books and storage equipment.

And the skill upgrade made Qin Ran, who thought he had gained a lot, feel ashamed and... heartache!

The entry-level [Gunpowder Weapon. Light Firearms] needs 1000 points and 1 skill point to upgrade to the next level 'Proficient'.

The entry-level [stealth] requires 1500 points to upgrade to the next level of 'mastery'. Similarly, 1 skill point is also required.

Other basic skills are upgraded to the entry level. Although skill points are not required, they are also not cheap, ranging from 200 to 800 points.

The skill [tracking] is the highest.

The rest are about 200 points.

To put it simply, if Kieran improves the skill levels of [Gunpowder Weapons. Light Firearms] and [Stealth], the remaining points are only enough to improve two more basic skills except [Tracking], or go to the [Store] to buy one. A set of full-body equipment, including weapons, armor, medicine, and necessary sundries—a set of 500 points, was placed on the first line of the first page of the [store], in the most prominent position.

Although the weapons in this full set of equipment include a pistol, a dagger, two magazines of matching bullets, armor from head to toe, medicines include three rolls of high-grade bandages, and sundries include kettles, cigarettes, lighters, etc. Wait, but Kieran will never buy it, not to mention that Kieran has better weapons and armor.

Just the experience of the Dajin studio alone allowed Kieran to find a cheaper purchase channel: players!

In the low-level equipment room, the transactions between players have always been of high quality and low price.

Afterwards, Qin Ran's browsing on [Forum] fully proved this point.

The full-body equipment that is exactly the same as [shop], if you buy it from the player, you only need 400 points.

If the firearms are removed, 300 points will do.

And if the medicines are also removed, a set of 200 points, or even a lower price can be settled.

Qin Ran silently browsed through the transactions on the forum, especially the high-priced weapons and medicines, his eyes gradually brightened.

You know, he came back with two [Iron Fist-II] rocket launchers.
