Chapter 6: Fire Sword! Yitian!
Ma Mei did not really come to challenge the "Three Kingdoms" copy, but had other purposes.
Strategy dealer!
After global duplication, duplication has been integrated into human society and is closely related to life, just as important as eating and sleeping.
Therefore, the value of a strategy that can help you pass a dungeon or find a hidden treasure is self-evident.
Every year, new people who have just reached adulthood enter the dimensional world, and even the lowest-level dungeon strategies are in great demand.
This has given rise to a special profession - the strategy dealer.
As the name suggests, selling strategies.
But where do the strategies come from?
Rob!
Usually these traffickers work in gangs.
It is led by a big boss who can fight with high-level people and sells the strategy as an authoritative representative.
Then the subordinates are responsible for entering each copy, and if they see a player with potential, they will follow closely.
Afterwards, the gang will collect the player's information, try to find him in real life, and use all means of coercion and inducement to force him to hand over the strategy.
A complete and top-notch guide can be sold for at least tens of thousands of dollars, which makes these guide dealers more unscrupulous.
After Xu Mu called out Zhuge Liang at the beginning of the game, Ma Mei set his sights on him.
And she was extremely lucky to be reborn at almost the same place as Xu Mu. She was born on the ship next to Xu Mu, so she didn't have to spend energy looking for Xu Mu.
She could see every move of Xu Mu.
What surprised Ma Mei was...
It seems that the fish I’m targeting this time is a big fish!
This boy knows the Three Kingdoms copy almost by heart. He knows where the treasures are, where the secret rooms are, and how to fight the BOSS. He is completely confident and fluent.
At the moment when Xu Mu passed Sun Ji, she took out a small first aid scroll from her backpack.
After this scroll is crushed, one can immediately connect with the outside world.
She needs to report this news to her superiors.
Soon, the emergency contact from outside got through.
"Master Dog, there's a big fish!" Ma Mei went straight to the point and briefly described Xu Mu's situation. The more detailed route and treasure points would need to wait until she got out of the copy before drawing them.
After listening to Ma Mei's description, the dog master outside was full of doubts.
"If it's really as you said... this person's hidden strength is at least that of a second-tier player. But why would a second-tier player be in a D-tier dungeon?"
"I don't know the details, but you can first check this person's identity in the outside world. His ID is ATC54671. See if he is some force that you can't afford to offend." Ma Mei said quickly.
"From the ID, it looks like he's a newbie. He hasn't even changed his ID yet. It's very strange." Dog Lord pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll send someone to investigate. You continue to observe."
"Okay, got it." Ma Mei cut off the connection.
But the next moment, she looked up and found that the figure in front of her had disappeared.
"Huh?" Ma Mei became alert instantly.
Just now that guy was here cleaning up the spoils left by Sun Ji. How come he disappeared while I was making a phone call?
Ma Mei felt a little uneasy.
“Did we enter the next level?”
"We can't rule out this possibility, let's follow and see."
————
The requirements for clearing the "Three Kingdoms" copy are relatively simple, you only need to kill a BOSS.
Xu Mu has met the clearance requirements.
However, just when the built-in system of the copy prompted him whether to settle the clearance evaluation.
He found that he could continue the challenge.
The more bosses you defeat, the higher the evaluation points you will get for clearing the level.
Is there any need to hesitate?
Just charge!
Xu Mu immediately chose to go to the next level.
Not to mention the rewards, the props that follow are the most important.
The second level has left the dock and arrived at a mountain range called Dingjun Mountain.
[Hint: You have entered the second level of the "Three Kingdoms" copy - Dingjun kills Xiahou! ]
[The clearance rate of this level: 16.3%]
[The level pass rate is less than 60%, please act with caution! ]
"Well, only 16 out of 100 people can pass?" Xu Mu couldn't help but click his tongue.
Dingjun Mountain is surrounded by steep and dangerous mountains, with only a small path along the cliffs for players to walk on.
There are also rock rolling traps set by the enemy on the cliff, and if you are not careful you will be smashed into the abyss at the bottom of the mountain.
Even if a D- level copy has a protection system, if you slip and fall, you will probably die.
It’s no wonder that the clearance rate is so low. Many players probably give up as soon as they reach this level.
But for Xu Mu, it doesn't matter.
I, Xu Mu, have relied entirely on my own abilities in everything I do throughout my life.
Strategy, start!
Still the same old rules, quickly clear the minions.
Keep going upwards.
When he arrived at the intersection of the mountain road, Xu Mu did not choose the path that was as winding and steep as a poisonous snake.
Instead, he took out a flame bomb from his backpack.
This is the small item that dropped when you defeated the soldier just now. Its effect is to cause range explosion damage.
It doesn't have much lethality, it mainly has a knockback effect.
Standing next to the mountain wall, he reached out and knocked here and poked there.
After hearing the different hollow sound, Xu Mu quickly took two steps back, ignited the flame bomb and threw it forward.
“Bang!!”
There was a huge explosion accompanied by thick smoke.
When the smoke cleared, a gap suddenly appeared!
"Is there a way here? How many strategies does this guy know?" Ma Mei, who finally caught up with Xu Mu, hid behind.
When she saw Xu Mu blasting a hole in a mountain that looked completely unchanged on the outside, she couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
She even had a vague premonition that there might be some top-notch treasures hidden in this cave!
Following Xu Mu all the way into the cave.
Watch him skillfully clean up the soldiers, then crawl into a narrow hole, and then come to the animal training room.
Here is another secret room!
Ma Mei took note of it secretly.
This time the route is a little more complicated.
Enter the cave → Enter the trainer → Go up and enter the shadow area
After arriving here, the surrounding environment became a little gloomy.
Moreover, the mechanism has become more rigorous, with flamethrowers densely scattered everywhere under your feet.
The flames spurted out randomly and without any pattern, like a fountain made of fire.
The more dangerous the place, the more fascinating treasures are hidden!
Ma Mei watched Xu Mu's movements intently, afraid of missing any details.
He stepped back and forth on several flame holes as if he was familiar with them.
There is a wonderful rhythmic regularity.
Just a few seconds later.
“Crack!”
There was the sound of a secret door unlocking.
A door somewhere has been opened!
Xu Mu's figure gradually disappeared into the shadows of sight.
Ma Mei followed again and secretly observed from behind.
But after seeing the scene before me.
Ma Mei can no longer remain calm!
"This... this is..." She was trembling even as she spoke.
After passing through several dark paths, the last secret room appeared in front of them. Fire was everywhere, illuminating the surrounding walls red.
On a shelf was a heavy broadsword, with flames burning on the blade!
Flame Sword——Yitian!
This is a weapon that has only existed in legends so far.
In five years, countless people have set foot in the "Three Kingdoms" copy.
But no one has ever been able to find the trace of this sword.
On the black market, the sword has been sold for a six-digit price!
As a weapon that can only be used in a single copy, and it is only a D-level copy weapon.
The fact that it can reach six figures is enough to prove its nobility!
With it, you can almost sweep the BOSSes of the first three levels of "Three Kingdoms".
For new players in the early stages, every time you kill a level BOSS, your evaluation points can almost double!
Being ahead at the starting line is particularly important.
Ma Mei swallowed and quickly crushed another mind scroll.
"Master Dog! I followed that kid and found the Fire Sword!!"
“What???” the monster screamed, apparently also startled: “The value of the Fire Sword is almost equal to the value of the weapons in the C-level copy, you better keep an eye on him!”
"Don't worry, Master Gou, I..." Ma Mei's voice suddenly stopped.
The call was interrupted.
A thin and handsome boy stood in front of Ma Mei.
Under his shaggy hair that reached his eyebrows, his cold eyes looked down at her.
"Tracking, is it fun?" Xu Mu gave an emotionless smile.
