Chapter 28 finally got us into a raid instance!
Chapter 28 finally got us into a raid instance!
You are entering the Divine Cube.
Shen Ye could feel that each time he entered the Divine Cube, it became smoother and smoother. At least the surrounding darkness and chaos wouldn't make him lose his senses for too long like before.
He opened his eyes.
There were far fewer people on the ferry this time; there were only five people, including him.
The others are still asleep.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Shen Ye could already hear the sound of a ship cutting through the waves.
This surprised Shen Ye.
Because once inside, nothing outside the ship can be seen or heard.
If ordinary people look up, they will not only be unable to see or hear anything, but the pollution level will also rise rapidly, and their spirits will be polluted.
Now I can hear more than just the sound of the ship cutting through the waves.
Raise your head.
I can now see everything within a ten-meter radius around the side of the boat.
The seawater beneath the ship was vibrant in color, yet it was constantly shifting and distorting, sometimes dazzling, sometimes black and white.
It also produces dense foam, just like normal seawater.
It's very beautiful, but it also reveals an indescribable sense of unease about the unknown.
"It seems that the higher the pollution level, the more of the invisible area can be seen."
Shen Ye hesitated for a moment, then tried to extend his hand outside the boat.
At that moment, a blindingly bright line of death suddenly appeared before his eyes.
There was also a pop-up warning from Shenlifang.
[While sailing at sea, do not leave the ferry's designated area; otherwise, it may lead to extremely dangerous situations.]
Shen Ye calmly withdrew his hand.
He was just curious; he wouldn't actually do anything reckless.
Perhaps we'll figure out what's in this sea in the future, but not now.
At this moment, the people on the ship gradually woke up and opened their eyes to look around.
"There are so few people."
One of the young men in black combat gear, who appeared to be the most formidable among them, instantly surveyed everyone present.
He frowned, but didn't say anything yet.
A voice then rang in Shen Ye's ear: "Shen Ye?"
"You're Shen Ye, right? Do you remember me?"
Ok?
Another acquaintance?
The person who called his name was a young man wearing a mask. He took off the mask and revealed a surprised smile.
"You don't remember me?"
"We used to work together."
That's an understatement; I've had so many jobs.
Who are you?
"I remember you, you're..." Shen Ye extended his hand, saying warmly, "Long time no see!"
"Hey, you didn't even remember, did you?" the young man complained.
"We worked together as cleaners at a hotel."
"Later, several murders occurred in that hotel, and people were in a state of panic. In the end, the murderer was inexplicably beaten and seriously injured, and was left hanging in the lobby."
Oh, I remember now.
Because of the murder that forced the hotel to close, and not being able to collect his wages, he directly confronted the murderer.
Unfortunately... he still lost his job.
Who would have thought that the murderer was the hotel owner, who started killing people in his own hotel to satisfy his perverted hobby?
"Hu Long." Shen Ye retrieved the young man's name from the cleaning staff list in his memory palace.
"I was just kidding you. We're colleagues, how could I not remember?"
Looking at Shen Ye's affable smile, Hu Long was skeptical.
But it doesn't matter.
It was rare for Hu Long to see someone he knew here, so he naturally started chatting with Shen Ye.
At this moment.
The boat will take another ten minutes to reach its destination.
The young man in the combat suit, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly opened his mouth.
"Gentlemen..."
"Ten minutes left, let me interrupt your reminiscing."
"Before we reach our destination, I need to tell you all a few things to avoid... situations where you hold us back or are confused about the situation."
The other two, a man and a woman, looked up at him with some surprise.
"We haven't been randomly assigned yet."
"There's no such thing as allocation. Everyone on the ship has a connected aura, which means everyone will enter the same instance."
The young man in the combat suit looked at them calmly.
"Is that so?" Hu Long was somewhat surprised; it was the first time anyone present had heard of this.
The young man in the combat suit frowned again.
They're all newcomers... ah.
A little troublesome.
No, it's quite troublesome.
In theory, a raid instance should balance the strength of the participants as much as possible based on the difficulty of the instance.
and.
The more numerous they are, the more dangerous they become.
Five people is already quite a lot, but it doesn't matter to him. He just didn't expect that he would be matched with all newbies.
There's a saying: "I'm not afraid of a tiger-like opponent, but I'm afraid of a pig-like teammate."
"Let's see what the difficulty level of this dungeon is first. You can call me Lin Xiao."
"Before you enter, could you please tell me your level? Do you possess abilities such as survival, attack, and defense?" the young man in combat attire said softly.
Apart from Shen Ye, the man and woman were both level 3, while Hu Long was level 4.
Lin Xiao... his expression was unnatural, and you could even see that he was about to break down.
"I'm level 15."
damn it.
The difference is too big.
I originally wanted something more challenging.
But it seems... this dungeon was cleared very easily.
"All right..."
Lin Xiao leaned against the side of the boat with a bit of helplessness. He accepted it; this was probably just a normal difficulty team dungeon.
I've been tricked by the God Cube matchmaking system into becoming the babysitter for these four newcomers.
Ugh.
Oh well, let's just consider it a good deed. The four newlyweds are still chatting there.
Lin Xiao glanced at his watch. He was ready to speedrun this dungeon and then seamlessly transition to the next one.
Hu Long subtly nudged Shen Ye with his shoulder: "I think I've seen that Lin Xiao before..."
"He seems to come from a large group; he's a formidable figure."
"Actually, when you hear that the other person is level 15, you should know that they are a pro."
"It's different. His team is much stronger..." Hu Long said, "I also joined a very powerful team, but I can't even get close to them."
Hu Long paused here, then suddenly said excitedly:
"By the way, do you want to join our team? We have great benefits."
"What a pity, brother, what a pity." Shen Ye: "You're a step too late."
"Otherwise, I would have come."
The ship had already reached its destination, and the sound of the anchor hitting the water clearly reached Shen Ye's ears.
"They're here."
Lin Xiao didn't need to remind him.
Pop-up windows appeared in their field of vision.
Lin Xiao looked at what was in front of him.
He can tell the difficulty and star rating of a dungeon without even looking at it.
[Entering the 5343764 dungeon world soon]
[Number of players in the instance: 5]
As expected, it's a team raid; I had no expectations.
[Dungeon Star Rating: 2]
Yes, 2 stars corresponds to your level.
Expected.
[Dungeon Difficulty: Nightmare]
See? The word "ordinary" is glaringly obvious...
?
and many more!
When did the two characters for "ordinary" come to have so many strokes?!
[Forced group teleportation in progress!]
