Chapter 43 An island where only S-level players can live!
“Fuck?? Someone got an SSS rating?”
When Xu Mu's copy evaluation score resounded throughout the fourth floor, the entire Sea City forum was in an uproar.
"What the hell! How did it get an SSS rating?"
"There won't be an SSS in the City of the Sea once a month, right? And those top bosses go to play D-level or even F-level dungeons to increase their popularity."
"But this isn't a D-rank dungeon. A survival dungeon like Don't Starve is much more difficult than other combat and exploration dungeons. If you survive the entire game, it'll be a B-rank dungeon. If you kill all the bosses, the difficulty soars to A+. This dungeon can get an SSS rating...hiss!!"
"Kneel down before this great man. Can someone help me up? I can't stand up anymore..."
"It's a pity that there is no first-person perspective of this big guy at the live broadcast. Can anyone who knows tell me what the name of this big guy's guild is? I'd be fine if I could just be a cleaner in the guild... I have a special skill! I can do splits in the air! It can make the big guy laugh!"
"This kind of boss is at least a third-tier guild. The players they recruit must be at least A-level, right?"
"I hope this big guy will not be so ungrateful and hand over the strategy immediately! Don't wait until I kneel down and beg you, otherwise it will end badly!"
"I'm super? Isn't this God A?"
Some players recognized this ID.
The players who watched the live broadcast were only a minority compared to the total number of players, so it was normal that they did not recognize Xu Mu at first.
After all, time is so precious. Why don’t you seize the time to improve yourself instead of coming here to watch the live broadcast?
Of course, if all the people participating in the dungeon are beautiful girls, it is not impossible to take a break and calm down.
"Who is God A?" a player asked.
"Big brother from Dolphin City! The Resident Evil dungeon gave our Sea City a dunk a while ago. Have you forgotten?"
"Holy crap!! So this is it! I just remember that Dolphin City took off inexplicably before."
"Why are you still calling me that? I'm still rated SSS even though I came to Ocean City. I can beat you up a million times! Call me A-Bao!"
"Wow, can Master A-Bao give me some advice? Forget SSS. I've never seen an S rating in my life..."
"God A, I'm a girl..."
"Stop, stop. Based on my previous experience, this person A doesn't seem to like girls. I suggest you try again with a different gender."
"Me, me, me! I'm a man! I want to say, α, this is Alpha. β, this is Beta. γ, this is Gamma. ε, this is me kissing A's mouth/shy/shy"
"Good, good, good! It's new and good! I'm God A and I will definitely take you with me."
Xu Mu: “…”
The direction of public opinion inexplicably developed in a very strange direction.
After closing the Blood Moon Emblem, Xu Mu began to count the gains he had made after this dungeon.
Mu Lin was not in a hurry to leave, but stood beside Xu Mu, as if standing guard for him.
As a small survival dungeon, although the upper limit of difficulty is the same as that of "Resident Evil", the various benefits are still nearly three times less than those of the large-scale national dungeon like "Resident Evil".
As soon as the thought came to his mind, the panel appeared in front of Xu Mu.
[Player: Xu Mu]
[Area: World Tree 4th Floor, B+ (31/800 steps)]
[Activity level in this area: B, B+, A- (Activity level in the next area: A, A+)]
[World Tree All Attributes Bonus: 40%]
[Strength: B+ level]
Strength: 121 (20↑)
Spirit: 115 (18↑)
Agility: 123 (23↑)
HP: 200 (50↑)
Luck: 11 (3↑)
Potential: Blue Sky Eye (Gold) LV71, Brainstorm (Purple) LV60, Sea of End (Gold) LV60, Polar Night (Gold) LV60
Items: [True] Invisibility Cloak, [True] Shadow Blade, Potential Book [Beast Physique]
…
Xu Mu used the Blue Sky Eye to scan Mu Lin's attributes.
I found that her panel attributes were almost the same as mine, or even slightly weaker than mine.
However, Mu Lin was an A+ level player, while he was only B+ level, a whole stage behind.
Moreover, if the G virus is activated, its strength will probably be far more than just a little bit.
"Now, I am not afraid of S-level players at all. I can still kill them even if they have no trump cards!" Xu Mu thought to himself, "But I don't know how strong S-level players are... I haven't encountered them yet."
Of course, if Mu Lin, who was standing by, heard Xu Mu’s thoughts.
I'm afraid my eyes will pop out.
I am an A+ player, and I dare not even look at the S-level boss even if I have played all my cards.
You are only B+ level, but you can not only defeat S-, but even want to challenge S level?
This world is crazy!
Soon, Xu Mu looked at the shadow knife in his hand again.
After several rounds of copy challenges, Xu Mu discovered a logic.
All real items produced in the copy are produced from the current copy.
Whether it is the [Invisibility Cloak] from the previous Three Kingdoms, the [Divinity] from Slay the Spire, or the [G-Virus] from the biochemical version, they are all props for the current copy.
The higher the level and evaluation of the copy, the rarer the real items obtained will be.
A slender steel blade surrounded by a faint black flame lies quietly in the backpack. It is the weapon ranked first in comprehensive evaluation in "Don't Starve".
[Shadow Blade [True]]
Type: Weapon
Quality: Purple
Damage: When holding, increases strength by 30 points and consumes 1 point of spirit per second
Active: Each attack will gain 1% of the energy. When the energy is full, you can activate the weapon's active skill [Shadow Thorn]. The effect is to generate a shadow at the original location and imitate the main body's attack action, with damage of 50% of the main body and consuming 1 point of spirit per second .
Restrictions: Affected in Exploration dungeons, disabled in Survival dungeons
Description: The real threat always hides in the unknown shadows.
…
Xu Mu's eyes brightened slightly.
30 points of strength can at least increase the player's strength by 1~2 levels.
What's even more valuable is that it also adds an active skill that can generate an afterimage with 50% of the main body's damage, which can greatly improve the efficiency of monster spawning in combat dungeons.
No wonder I haven't found any real weapons along the way.
Moreover, in the trading section of the forum, at most you can only see weapons limited to a single copy.
Now it seems that the value of weapons is too precious.
Even if they really have it, they probably won't put it up for sale. If they do, it will be snapped up instantly.
After all, with the help of weapons, it is completely different from fighting with bare hands.
However, this shadow knife also has some minor drawbacks.
The mental drain is just too fast.
Holding a weapon will consume 1 point per second. If you activate an active skill, it will increase by 1 point per second.
I currently have less than 120 points of spirit, and it will be burned out in less than a minute.
If it is used together with the G virus...
I'm afraid it will be drained in just a dozen seconds.
Of course, if the Shadow Blade and G Virus are activated together, Xu Mu probably won't have to wait for the opponent to reveal their trump cards one after another when he meets an S-level player again.
One encounter can kill instantly!
Ten seconds is enough.
As for S-level, since I haven't encountered them yet, I don't know their true strength and it's hard to judge.
His eyes moved away from the Shadow Knife and glanced at the Book of Potential.
The Book of Potential is also extremely precious because it has permanent blessings and can be continuously upgraded and improved.
Its upper limit of value is even slightly better than that of real items.
In the auction house, the price is higher than that of the real items.
However, according to Xu Mu's previous understanding, the ways to obtain the Potential Book are quite rare.
Usually, there is a chance that a potential book will appear only when you complete a dungeon for the first time and achieve an A rating or above.
The higher the evaluation, the greater the probability of a potential book popping up, and the stronger the ability of the potential book.
Secondly, potential books are invaluable tools for ordinary people.
But for players, this may not be the case.
The effects of some potentials are extremely useless.
For example, what.
[Unblock the intestines], [Iron wall and iron stomach] and the like
The general effect is to enhance the body's digestive ability, so you don't have to worry about gaining weight no matter how much you eat.
The higher the potential level, the more you can eat.
For many girls or people with poor appetite, this is a very good potential.
But for players, this potential cannot be said to be useless, but at least it is completely useless.
Another example is [Ultimate Sleep]
The higher the potential level, the longer the sleep time.
It is also very effective for people suffering from insomnia.
There is also the [Silent Lotus], which can make the sound of walking extremely low.
[Sensitive skin]: The skin is more sensitive and can judge what the weather will be like from the various elements in the air.
[Deodorizing cells] can remove a series of odors such as body odor, foot odor, bad breath, etc.
There are countless potentials like these. Can you say that they have no meaning at all?
Not really. If it were to be thrown into a world where the copy had not yet appeared, no matter which type it was, it would definitely be the target of the world's wealthy.
But with the birth of copies, all kinds of more powerful potentials came into being.
This kind of potential is in an awkward situation of "players look down on it, and ordinary people can't afford it."
"Fortunately, the initial effects of the potential books I got were not bad. Otherwise, even if there were enough points to reverse it, it would only make those potentials stronger."
From Xu Mu's perspective, the potential to eat two kilograms instead of one kilogram is a big improvement...
"I think it should be related to the evaluation of the copy. The higher the evaluation, the better the effect of the potential book."
As he spoke, Xu Mu had already clicked on the description of the potential book.
[Beast Physique] is a potential of purple quality.
The effect is that it can enhance the player's ability to withstand attacks and can quickly recover after leaving the battle.
It’s not bad, but Xu Mu doesn’t plan to change it for the time being.
I only have about 10 million points on hand. Even if I spend all on potential, it might just be a waste of time.
In the past, it would have just been a noise.
However, upgrading a guild to the fifth level now requires 100 million points, and the landlord has no surplus food.
Throw it into your backpack and keep it there first, and then make some minor adjustments when you have enough points.
After counting the rewards, Xu Mu looked up and found that Mu Lin was still standing beside him like a bodyguard and had not left.
Seeing Xu Mu looking at him in surprise, Mu Lin coughed lightly.
"Boss, are you done sorting?"
"Um."
"It's like this... Boss, you're new to Ocean City and you're unfamiliar with the place, so I was thinking if you need a tour guide... I've been here for three years and have interacted with people from some big guilds. I basically know Ocean City like the back of my hand. You can always ask me any questions you have!"
On the one hand, the talent Xu Mu displayed in the dungeon truly shocked Mu Lin.
Being able to make friends with such a big shot, other people probably don’t even have this opportunity. I can be said to have stumbled upon this opportunity by accident.
On the other hand, Mu Lin was also very grateful to Xu Mu in his heart.
Because, she got an S rating in the dungeon for the first time in a long time!
I've been stuck at the A+ level for a long time, and when I played some regular dungeons, my ratings kept going back and forth between B and A.
But now, he has easily made a leap forward! He has soared 100 steps!
That's all. I didn't do anything during the whole process. I just organized the props at home and just followed the boss and lay down for four seasons, and I got an S rating.
Having tasted the sweetness, Mu Lin finally deeply realized the meaning of the saying: Some people spend their entire lives trying to get to Dongbai, while some people are born on the streets of Shenyang!
It's not a vivo at all!
Mu Lin finally understood why Xu Mu was unwilling to start the live broadcast at the beginning of the dungeon.
If other players watching learn this, wouldn't climbing more than a hundred steps be as easy as eating and drinking?
I just don't know what level of guild this big guy created after passing the guild rating...
In theory, once a guild rating is initially selected, it will not be changed.
For example, if you choose a Tier 2 Guild, even if you survive four seasons, you will still be a Tier 2 Guild after you come out...
If I remember correctly, this guy seemed to have chosen a first-tier guild when he entered the dungeon...
I feel so bad...
However, with the boss's strength, it would not be difficult to recruit more talents and push the guild to the third level in one go.
With time, there might be hope of reaching the fourth level.
Although he was extremely grateful, Mu Lin couldn't think of a better way to repay him.
Even if he values the most the promise of his body, it may be bullshit in the eyes of the big boss.
For a boss with this kind of talent, if he wants beautiful women to serve him, he must have a lot of them, and he is the least valuable.
After thinking about it, Mu Lin found that his only value was "providing information to the boss".
Xu Mu didn't say anything after hearing this.
Mu Lin felt a little embarrassed for a while, then gritted his teeth and said.
"Boss, four days have passed in real life. Although sleeping in the game can replenish some energy, it still doesn't replenish as much as sleeping in real life."
"How about you stay at my house for one night?"
Seeing Xu Mu's strange look, Mu Lin blushed and hurriedly explained: "Ah! I didn't mean that. I just said... that the boss has just arrived and has no place to stay."
"I...my house is quite big..."
Xu Mu was amused by her words.
Besides, apart from being a little arrogant at the beginning, this girl didn't have any bad intentions, so she responded.
"Um."
After being teleported out of the dimensional world, Mu Lin took Xu Mu straight to the small apartment she had bought.
Located in the Heart of the Sea area in the central area of the City of the Sea, it is surrounded by land on all sides, surrounding a small area of the Mediterranean Sea, with only a small tributary connecting to the sea.
But it is true that "rich people always like to have villas near the sea"
Especially this type of area that encompasses the Mediterranean Sea further highlights the dignity of one's personal identity.
Mu Lin also worked hard for three years, digging for gold day and night, and finally saved up 100 million yuan to buy a small apartment of less than 50 square meters here.
"How is it? I told you my house is quite big, right~ Hehe." Mu Lin opened the door. The house was clean and tidy. She did not forget to show off to Xu Mu.
If you only look at the area, this house can only be considered a very small one-bedroom apartment.
But if you take the location into account, 50 square meters is not small.
"By the way, boss, are you hungry? I'll go cook some dishes right away. Please wait a moment." Mu Lin had just changed her shoes and hurriedly put on her flip-flops, jogging all the way. Her pair of white, tender and small feet stepped on the flip-flops backwards, making a 'click-click' sound, and then she went into the kitchen.
Xu Mu came to the balcony and looked towards the Mediterranean Sea outside the window.
Even a small Mediterranean Sea appears vast and boundless if viewed from a house with its view obstructed.
In calm weather, facing the sparkling sea, your mood also becomes relaxed.
No wonder rich people flock here.
After looking for a while, Xu Mu found a small island in the center of the Mediterranean Sea.
Surrounded by the sea, the island has abundant and lush vegetation.
Xu Mu's thought moved, and the Eye of Blue Sky moved.
Then you can take in all the conditions of the island.
The most eye-catching thing is the two clusters of purple-gold luster. (Purple-gold < pure gold)
Zooming in the lens, the details of the two balls of light emerged.
They are two S-players, Poseidon and Apocalypse.
In addition, there are dozens of rich blood-red colors, symbolizing the peak of A+ level strength, and it is only half a step away from breaking through the S level.
Then there were hundreds of light balls of different colors ranging from blue to purple interweaving together. Xu Mu guessed that they should be some housekeepers and servants.
It seems that considering comprehensive factors such as environment, location, and status symbol, this is the absolute core area of the entire Sea City.
"Boss, the food is ready~" Soon, Mu Lin's voice came from behind.
She saw Xu Mu standing in front of the balcony. After putting the dishes on the table, she curiously moved forward and looked outside.
However, after seeing that Xu Mu was looking towards the Sea Island, Mu Lin's expression changed slightly.
"Boss...you don't want to settle down in this place, do you..." she said cautiously.
"Is there any danger here?" Xu Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It's not dangerous... On the contrary, this is the safest place in the entire Sea City."
"There was actually no island here before. It was built by the two big guys, Poseidon and Apocalypse, who invested heavily and forcibly reclaimed the sea to build an island. Only the two of them lived on the island. Only their capable subordinates and some servants were allowed to enter."
"And Poseidon and Apocalypse are the two most powerful bosses in our Sea City! Both have reached S-level! As you know, there is only one level difference between A+ and S-level, but the difference in strength is huge... Moreover, they each have a fourth-level guild ! There are double-digit A+ members under their command, and countless below A level."
"Before, many wealthy capitalists wanted to seize this land and use the power of capital to take it for themselves. As soon as they had the idea, the Tianqi boss found out and blew up the corporate building that was the foundation of their family for a hundred years... Since then, no one dared to covet this sea city anymore."
"So, the situation on this island..." Mu Lin reminded him tactfully, "It's a little special... It can't be bought with money..."
"Boss, if you want to buy a house, I know a lot of real estate agents here, and the locations are all quite good. After you have a night's rest, I can introduce them to you tomorrow."
"No need, I'm just asking. It's free." After Xu Mu understood the general situation, he nodded lightly.
Hearing this, Mu Lin finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If you're just asking, that's fine.
