Song Jian was hunting in the area of level 20 monsters, and in just over two hours, he raised his level to 20. At this moment, he suddenly received a communication request from Wang Qi. After taking a glance, Song Jian directly connected the call.
“Big bro, are you there? There’s something 1 don’t know if I can ask for your help with?” Wang Qi’s slightly nervous voice came through. In fact, the two hadn’t been in touch in the game for more than two months, and Wang Qi didn’t know whether Song Jian would still give him any face.
“Help? Hehe, I wonder what kind of help you need, Wang? It’s not that you found a special building and want to transform it into a safehouse, is it?” Song Jian laughed.
The last time the two met, they helped Li Ke’er build a safehouse together. At that time, Wang Qi was full of envy and wanted to find a special building and create a safehouse of his own. Song Jian promised that if Wang Qi found one, he would definitely help guard it.
“No, no, special buildings are too hard to find. I just chose a regular one and have already upgraded it to a level 3 safehouse.” Remembering the time when they helped Li Ke’er build a safehouse, and the two of them didn’t do anything but sleep and take advantage of the situation, Wang Qi revealed a trace of a smile.
“Oh, that’s good, congratulations!” Song Jian laughed, “What can I help you with this time?”
“Well, I and a few companions are in the level 15 monster area, and we discovered an unexplored instance. We only have four people, and we’re afraid we won’t be able to beat it, so we want Brother Song to help and lead us to explore it…” Wang Qi stated his request and then anxiously waited for Song Jian’s answer.
“Exploiting a level 15 instance?” Song Jian was somewhat surprised. The rewards for exploring an instance are absolutely substantial, even much greater than those from clearing a difficult dungeon later on.
There are many special equipment pieces that only drop during the exploration difficulty and true difficulty, so for players, exploring dungeons is like a feast.
However, the difficulty of exploring a dungeon is also great. Without any understanding of the dungeon, sometimes, players might not even see the boss before they are chased out by the small monsters inside.
Although Song Jian is now level 20, some of his equipment is not very good. His leg guards are still just a level 5 white quality item with only one level of reinforcement.
“Alright, but if there’s any equipment 1 need, as well as diagrams for Engineering or Alchemy and Pharmacology formulas, I have priority!” Song Jian thought for a while and said.
Wang Qi was taken aback. He wanted priority not only on equipment but also on engineering drawings and alchemy formulas?
“Well, equipment is no problem, but for the others, I need to discuss it with the rest of the team. Can you wait a moment?” Wang Qi hesitated.
“Alright, let’s discuss it first.” Song Jian hung up the call.
In fact, Song Jian was quite interested in exploring a level 15 instance, but many instances have a player limit. The more players allowed, the better the loot that drops inside. With these kinds of instances, Song Jian couldn’t successfully explore them alone and had to rely on the power of the team. “Maybe I should form my own elite team, or even create a guild?” Song Jian patrolled his territory while thinking.
On the other side, Wang Qi had a somewhat ugly expression after hanging up the call.
“What’s wrong? Did the expert refuse?” Zhou Qing, a Priest, asked anxiously. He hadn’t gotten a single piece of equipment yet and was eager to enter the dungeon.
“No.” Wang Qi looked at his companions and said, “But he demands priority on all suitable equipment, as well as engineering blueprints and alchemy and pharmacology formulas.”
“What? That’s too much!” Zhou Qing, the Priest, frowned and showed dissatisfaction.
“We can give priority to equipment for Swordsmen, but for the engineering blueprints, Zhou Qing has also learned Engineering, while Tang Rong learned Alchemy and Pharmacology. Moreover, if there are really blueprints and formulas, they’re definitely valuable…” Ma Yu, a shield-wielding Guardian, shook his head and spoke with some discontent. “Since we’ve decided to form a fixed team, we can’t give up on our crafting professions. And our chosen professions aren’t overlapping, so we complement each other well…” Expplôre 𝒖ptod𝒂te stories at no/𝒗el//bin(.)c𝒐m
“Yeah, the blueprints and formulas for crafting professions are hard to come by. The system store doesn’t sell them, so it’s tough to level up. If we really get blueprints and formulas, I think we shouldn’t just give them away. If necessary, the four of us can roll dice with him to see who gets them based on whose number is higher…” Tang Rong hesitated but suggested.
“They definitely won’t agree to that. There are four of us, and he’s alone. Furthermore, without him, we definitely can’t clear it. Besides, it’s not even certain that there’ll be blueprints and formulas…” Zhou Qing said carelessly.
“Zhou Qing, don’t jinx it. If we really get the engineering blueprints, won’t you cry?” Yu Ma laughed.
“Forget it, let’s give it a try. Maybe the instance isn’t as hard as we think. We might succeed with just the four of us,” Tang Rong, the Rogue, said quietly, twirling his two daggers around his fingers.
After some hesitations, the others nodded in agreement.
“Let’s try, we’ll go in first to see what the monsters are like. Maybe they’re really like Tang Rong said. Even if we can’t beat them, we can agree to his terms later, it wouldn’t be too late…”
“Yeah, let’s give it a try first…”
The four made their decision, exchanged glances, and walked towards the entrance of the instance.
Five minutes later, a figure suddenly rushed out of the instance entrance. Tang Rong, the Rogue, collapsed on the ground in a disheveled state. He couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his face pale, and his Vitality Points reduced to less than one third.
Next, the other three teammates ran out one by one. Ma Yu, the shield-wielding Guardian, was the last to leave. His Vitality Points were the lowest, almost reaching a near-death state. His arm, which held the shield, trembled constantly from exertion. Even the shield itself had developed a tiny crack.
“I can’t heal fast enough, the small monsters do too much damage…” Zhou Qing, the Priest, complained immediately upon leaving the instance, constantly casting the Healing Skill on Ma Yu and the other two teammates.
“There are too many small monsters inside, and they’re all level 15 elite monsters. They’re way stronger than the monsters we encountered in the police station!” Wang Qi looked gloomy. If it wasn’t for Ma Yu desperately blocking the attacks of four or five elite monsters, the other three might have all died inside.
“But the loot from the monsters inside is indeed good. Look at this!” Ma Yu took out a dazzling white crystal from his bag and showed it off.
“Huh, you killed a monster?” Zhou Qing was surprised.
“It was the one we were focusing on earlier. 1 saw it had very little Vitality left, so I wanted to try. 1 didn’t expect that I actually killed it. I didn’t expect the first monster to drop items.” Ma Yu said with lingering fear.
In order to kill this one monster, Ma Yu almost lost his life inside.
“A reinforcement stone? What is that?” Tang Rong curiously asked, examining the reinforcement stone in Ma Yu’s hand.
“Reinforcement Stone (White): Special item, effect: after use, can reinforce equipment below level 20, enhancing its basic attributes; increases armor by 5 points of defense and weapons by 10 points of attack.”
“Nice stuff!” Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up.
