Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 15: Power? It's worthless!
"Hey, newcomers, I just happen to have something to do. If you come with me, I won't treat you unfairly." Suddenly, an individual with a long beard and an incredibly powerful aura stood in front of Lu Bai and the others and issued an imperative invitation to them.
The strength of the person in front of them was similar to the wide chair that Lu Bai and the others had seen before.
They are all at star level and are only one step away from reaching the day level.
In the Star Cave, the deterrent power of identity is weakened to the extreme. In other words, it is very normal for Lu Bai to be crushed to death by such a person.
Lu Bai glanced at the bearded man. The other party's aura could not be faked. It was indeed real.
Facing such a strong man, especially in such a chaotic area, you have to admit defeat, Yu Hui frowned.
"Get out of the way, you're blocking the road." Then Lu Bai's casual words were heard.
"Tsk! Another elf ghost." Then the bearded man turned around and walked away unhappily, completely ignoring Lu Bai's offense.
His terrifying aura quickly faded. Although he was still at the star level, only one step away from the sun level, it gave people a very unreal feeling.
“What is this?” Yu Hui seemed a little confused.
"This is false strength." Before Lu Bai could answer, a surface-level individual with four legs and four arms spoke to him.
"You are new here and don't understand yet, but maybe tomorrow, you will have similar strength. It depends on whether you are willing to do it."
"Hello, I'm Si Ma!" The man was very friendly.
"The camp management here is too rough, and a lot of information is not told to you."
"Many newcomers have been deceived by such people and regretted it afterwards. I was deceived once."
"Just call me Lu Bai. Can you tell me what's going on?" Although Lu Bai had a rough guess about this, he still needed to confirm more accurate information from an old hand like Si Ma.
"That's absolutely fine." Si Ma said as he walked towards the eastern portal. "It's not so crowded over there. Let's talk there."
After leaving the crowded area in the center, the four horses continued talking along the same topic as before.
"This is the zero level of the Star Cave, which is where most newcomers arrive after entering the Star Cave."
"It's hard to tell how big this place is."
"Anyway, there are countless camps similar to this one."
"Supplies are scarce here. Most of the supplies actually need to be obtained through the portal into the first floor of the Star Cave."
"We don't know exactly how many levels there are in the Star Cave yet. I guess only those who have passed or are about to pass know."
“You must have been to the cemetery.”
"The situation in the Star Cave is similar, with many scenes in each layer."
"After you enter, you will get a level of reward every time you pass a scene."
"And these rewards can directly reflect on you, allowing you to gain powerful strength."
"As long as you are lucky and make it through a few more levels, you can easily gain strength similar to that of the bearded man just now."
"But this strength is granted by the Star Cave, and its use has great limitations."
“Unless you cure it.”
"That's the solidification center in the south."
"But the problem is that each layer only has one chance to cure."
The four horses explained these rules one by one.
After entering the first level of the Star Cave, you will encounter various events. Some of these events are battles, some are choices, and some are explorations.
After completion, each event will give corresponding rewards, and these rewards can piece together different power systems.
Loading it on your body can give you powerful strength.
If you walk a little further and have a little better luck, it is common to gain the ability that is just one step away from reaching the day level.
After clearing some levels, you will have the opportunity to return to level zero.
“If you open up nine levels, that means nine times of solidification. Each solidification can solidify nine different powers, or all the powers you experienced in a level, into your body.” Si Ma explained the difference seriously.
“But once it starts solidifying, there’s no way to stop it.”
"For example, if you use up one layer of solidification, then you will not gain any more strength in the next layer."
"And most of the resources in the Star Cave are obtained from different scenes in the layers."
"After solidifying the ninth layer, you will no longer have any way to obtain resources from the natural environment from the first to the ninth layer."
"At this point, you can either choose to register your identity and enter the living area on the zero floor, or go down ten floors."
"In the Star Cave, there are no camps on the first to ninth floors. Only on the zeroth floor, that is, the 0th, 10th, and 20th floors, there are camps where living areas can be built and solidification operations can be performed."
"If that's the case, then wouldn't it be possible to become a strong man right away if we seize the opportunity to complete multiple solidifications?" asked the slug man.
"That's true, but the strong are the least valuable in the Star Cave, because everyone can become such a strong person, so strength is not of much use."
"It is said that if the solidified power is not correct, it is impossible to become a day-level."
"And if you fail to become a Sun-level person, you will never be able to leave the Star Cave, a barren land where resources are only produced by events, for the rest of your life."
"You won't even be included in the evacuation point."
"In other words, only by building a solidification that can form a day level can you be considered to have the ability to truly pass the level."
"Besides that, everything else is illusory. So those powers that are randomly combined or even solidified without any consideration are called illusory strengths."
"People like this, with no hope in life, can only choose to enter the living area and linger. Only a small number of people believe that there is a so-called zero-clearing spring in the layer that can clear all solidification and give them another chance, so they are still fighting in the Star Cave."
"So what is the correct combination?" Yu Hui was very interested in this.
"I don't know." However, Si Ma just shook his head.
"During the event, the types of power that can be obtained are as numerous as the stars, but because each person is different, their adaptability to different powers is also different."
"There are some powers that I can fully exert, but if I give them to you, you can only exert 30% of your guaranteed power."
“What is the so-called right power is something we are all exploring.”
"So, anyone who wants to clear the level will basically not solidify too much strength in the early stage."
Looking around, in this so-called Undead Knight Camp, the surface-level people were full of fighting spirit, while those with strong strength seemed lifeless.
That's the problem.
"Of course, this doesn't mean there is no experience to learn from." At this time, Si Ma spoke up and revealed the real reason why he told Lu Bai and the others so much information.
“We formed a Knight Exploration Committee.”
“It aims to share the intelligence of every scene during the exploration process and the coordination between each force.”
"We believe that as long as we have enough intelligence support, one day we will be able to find the right combination for ourselves and pass the Star Cave!"
"Beyond intelligence sharing, there are no other obligations."
"Don't rush to join us now. You can explore the first floor of the Star Cave first, and then come to find me at a base in the western suburbs."
"Although there are various exploration organizations in the Knight Undead Camp, I believe that with our fate, you will still choose our Knight Exploration Committee."
The actions of the four horses were extra points, as they gave clear intelligence without forcing anyone to join.
If they really want to join an exploration organization, they will most likely choose each other.
However, just as the other party said, there is no rush. They still have only a vague understanding of the situation inside the star cave.
You have to adapt yourself first.
Besides, this place doesn't seem as peaceful as imagined.
During the conversation just now, Lu Bai and the others sensed several battle waves appearing in the distance.
Come to think of it, where there are people, there is the world of martial arts, and here, although the acquisition of power comes at the cost of sacrificing the future, the efficiency of acquisition is really fast.
Although they will maintain a certain balance because they all have strength, for example, no one will fight in the camp, but once they leave the camp and enter the suburbs, these things are unpredictable.
After saying goodbye to the four horses, the group wandered around the camp for a while.
The main place to visit is the trade zone in the west.
It is called trade, but in fact it is more of a barter.
All kinds of strange and weird things were placed on the stalls, and people were allowed to choose.
Lu Bai can sense the fluctuations of power from everything.
And these power fluctuations are completely different.
In an instant, people felt that power had become worthless.
These objects are actually the carriers of the power of events.
After going through an event, if you don't want to accept that power, you can put it into a carrier and then carry it out.
The carrier brought out can still be brought back to the curing site for curing.
If used directly without solidification, this power will quickly disappear in the zero level of the Star Cave.
Or you can bring it into the first level of the Star Cave and use it directly, and then decide whether to solidify it after you pass the first level.
These things can also be used directly as energy to manufacture and process various daily necessities.
Not all surface levels can absorb energy on a large scale from the natural environment to maintain their own state.
They also need to eat. Otherwise, although they will not die, they will go into hibernation. The use of energy from the natural environment can only keep them alive.
Lu Bai and his friends saw all kinds of food stalls in the trade zone . Various intelligent races used various props to build simple kitchens, and then drew energy from various carriers to make all kinds of strange foods.
Lu Bai felt as if he had not come to the most important secret realm of the universe in a large natural dimension like the Star Cave, but to the Asan area before the era of Earth's collections.
It is indeed clean and hygienic.
