Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 21 Zero Floor
There is nothing wrong with having power and then enjoying it.
The same is true for Lu Bai himself. After he gained power, he was the first one to act recklessly.
But being surging does not mean turning a blind eye to the traps within the power.
Cognition is a very important thing.
Everything Lu Bai does is just to satisfy his own desires, so all his actions are just serving himself.
Whether he is working hard or enjoying himself, his cognition is always online.
He already knew clearly whether this behavior would affect the realization of his own desires.
And be able to immediately abandon anything that is harmful to your own desires, no matter how good it looks.
However , although these people in front of us know that these powers are illusory, they are still willing to indulge in them.
The next step after addiction is decadence.
If you hold the wrong cognition and enjoy the wrong power, if you fail to uphold the correct belief, it will only produce wrong results.
But Lu Bai didn't say anything about this.
After all, they are not so impulsive as to solidify it. It is enough to solidify these forces.
After all, they knew the problem in their hearts.
The key point is that they can pass this level on their own.
If they can't pass, even if they choose to give up this power after Lu Bai's persuasion, it will instead become a root of itch in their hearts.
Besides, they were just a temporary group together and they were not that close.
After a while, the navigation came back and everyone was finally gathered together.
The expressions of the others who were enjoying the "power" also became serious.
"This time, the first type of power I encountered was the sword." There are naturally swords in the outer dimension.
At most, the only difference is the type of sword.
Yu Hui was a member who joined the Tianwu Group in the middle period. The first weapon and skill he got was a kind of swordsmanship - Changge Sword Sutra.
On the other side, Mao Xian also nodded and said: "The first ability I acquired is a certain control ability."
As he spoke, he was still controlling the ball of thread on his body, using that power as if he was controlling something.
Then the same thing happened to everyone else.
The types of power they gained in the first scenario were not far from the first type of power they acquired in their own life experiences.
Although Lu Bai's Sutra of Withering and Flourishing was not the first power he obtained, it was the main source of his power for quite a while.
The Sutra of Withering and Flourishing has, from the very beginning, been closely related to plants.
"So, the Star Cave will also conduct a simple analysis of our situation, and then recommend a corresponding starting point for us after we enter?"
"No wonder. In the first scene, the monster I encountered was obviously not weak, but I was able to find its weakness immediately." The dwarf suddenly realized.
Precisely because it is a power that one is relatively familiar with, one can immediately discover the weaknesses of the opponent's power system when one is relatively weak, and then use it to relatively easily eliminate the opponent, and then seize the opponent's moon-level ability as a starting point.
"There are probably many similar rules in the Star Cave. It would be too slow for us to explore alone." Yu Hui nodded and asked Lu Bai, "Do we need to join the Knight Exploration Committee?"
"After joining, we can immediately gain a lot of experience in exploring the Star Cave."
“This facilitates our exploration.”
"However, this kind of organization cannot be just a place for sharing knowledge and experience as they say." At this time, Mao Xian gave his own opinion.
"When we were exploring the cemetery, we actually found a related organization."
"But this kind of organization, in addition to sharing exploration experiences, also groups together to exploit the items other explorers obtain from their expeditions."
"Some organizers can continuously obtain contribution points without any exploration."
"They could have bought tickets to the Star Cave a long time ago, but they thought it was better to keep exploiting other explorers than to take the risk of entering the Star Cave."
The slug man, the fat man and others next to Mao Xian also nodded, indicating that they agreed with Mao Xian's statement.
“And the exploration organization of this star cave is probably not far behind.”
"We can more or less bring some supplies out of the Star Cave, and these supplies can also generate value."
"Behind these organizations, there may be some people who have given up hope of clearing the Star Cave and only hope to exploit the explorers in this way to maintain their own affluent life."
This is not impossible.
From the previous incident where the bearded man deceived Lu Bai and the others, we knew that the competition for resources in this place was also very fierce.
As long as there is this kind of competition for resources, capital will gradually form.
It is too inefficient for a single scammer to cheat human resources.
Once he has accumulated a certain amount of resources, he will use these resources to gather enough people and then develop the deceptive behavior into an industry.
The Way of Heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency, while the Way of Man is to reduce the deficiency and serve the surplus.
So it is obvious that joining the organization now can indeed enable one to obtain various information about star cave exploration at the fastest speed.
But there are bound to be some conflicts of interest here.
If you don't know anything and just jump in headfirst, then to a large extent, you and others will become tools.
"Then wouldn't it be clear if we just ask a local?" Lu Bai said with a smile, raised his head slightly, and motioned for others to look in a direction.
They saw that the bearded man who had tried to deceive them before was not far away.
The aura on his body has also weakened to the surface level.
This liar was actually an explorer who had not given up hope of passing through the Star Cave.
The man with the long beard took stock of his gains today. He had tricked a few cuties into going to the suburbs to help him steal "inspiration", and he finally succeeded a little.
"If I continue like this, I'm going to anger some people. I guess it's time to change places." The bearded man was thinking this, and then he saw several figures blocking his way.
He immediately placed several items in his hands. If there was any unusual movement, he would immediately activate these carriers and allow the power inside to enter his body.
These carriers have a coordinated system of capabilities that can allow him to reach the star level directly from the current surface level.
Although this kind of power cannot last long on the zero floor, it is enough to temporarily deal with people who are causing trouble, or at least enough for him to escape.
But soon, the bearded man relaxed his guard and recovered from the posture of being able to escape at any time, because these were actually the newcomers he had failed to deceive this morning.
"Are you here to cause trouble, or..."
"I want to know something from you." Lu Bai glanced at the carrier in the other party's hand, and then stated his purpose directly.
"You are quite smart. I know all the tricks in the Star Cave Level 0."
"However, it's not too much to charge you for this kind of experience that can help you avoid countless mistakes." The long-bearded man immediately became tough: "Go help me do something, and I will teach you some experience."
There was no trace of the vigilant and cautious look he had when he was surrounded before.
"Then it wouldn't be too much for me to call the staff of this camp over now and tell them what you did."
"Although I don't know what you did, what you did must be not allowed." Lu Bai was very confident in his judgment.
"They turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Do you think I'm afraid of them?" The man with a long beard seemed very disdainful of this.
But after observing Lu Bai's unmoved expression, he also sighed: "I'll take you a capable carrier as a reward."
After hearing this, Lu Bai threw his green grass stake directly to the other party.
After examining it, the bearded man nodded, shrunk it and put it into a small bag under his beard.
Then he looked around and said, "You are a smart person, so I will tell you some information that is not so easy for you to know, so that you can judge the problem you are facing."
"Level 0 is also in the Star Cave. Although it is special, it does not change the fact that it is a Star Cave."
"Those who are content with their lives and no longer want to venture into the Star Cave gather together to form the living area of the camp."
"But their numbers seem to remain relatively stable."
"Those who are not content with their lives gather in the suburbs and form organizations, which divide the suburbs into different areas."
"Many of them no longer venture into the Star Caves on other levels, but their own strength has not declined."
After a few words, the bearded man said no more. Instead, he looked at Lu Bai meaningfully, then pushed aside the bodies of the others and disappeared from here.
And from some information in the other party's words, Lu Bai confirmed some things.
"The zeroth floor of the Star Cave is a special floor, but it is also a Star Cave. It will produce some special resources. By using these resources, there is a special way to improve oneself relatively safely."
"The major exploration organizations are probably competing for the resources needed for this method."
“Therefore, any organization stationed outside the camp is actually not trustworthy.”
“But the camp itself probably has some problems.”
"Basically, if you reach a certain level, you can achieve longevity. If you reach the Moon level, you can easily achieve immortality."
"And with the way power is gained here, everyone who gives up hope will probably strengthen themselves to the point where they are only one step away from reaching the Sun level."
"Every moment, someone gives up hope, but the number of people in the camp living area remains stable."
"This shows that people in the living area will also be depleted for some reasons."
After analyzing this, they could all sense the trouble.
