"[Nether Abyss Invitation]..." Yu Zhu’s eyes widened as she read the message sent by Yu Zhun.
Now she finally knew where he had gotten all those low-level, high-quality Equipment he had prepared for her. Given the chance to enter such a hidden Dungeon, she naturally wouldn’t miss it.
However, according to Yu Zhun, acquiring the qualification to enter the hidden Dungeon required solo killing the Newbie Area’s three major bosses while maintaining a Life Value of no less than 75%. This was a condition Yu Zhun had guessed based on his own experience.
His first of three kills back then was completed after initially teaming up with the Su Family siblings, who had withdrawn early due to unforeseen circumstances. A teammate’s early withdrawal also counted as a solo kill. However, the boss at the time, the Black Rock Snake, was not at full health; its Life Value had been roughly around 75%.
Yu Zhu had just killed the Blazing Fire Demon Rhinoceros while teamed up with Qin Ying, which didn’t meet the solo kill condition. Therefore, she needed to solo kill all three major bosses once.
Solo killing a boss wasn’t difficult for the current Yu Zhu. After all, she could instantly kill the enemy with two [Healing]s, or use [Encourage] to drop the enemy’s attack into the negatives, turning them into a healer on the spot.
However, Yu Zhu was already at Lv7 and only needed about seven thousand experience points to upgrade to Lv10. Solo killing the three major bosses alone would provide her with 6,000 experience points over the next three days. This made her a little worried.
She still wanted to wreak havoc on the Spiky Porcupines. Those creatures were incredibly easy to bully—a single [Group Healing] could instantly kill thirty of them, netting over a thousand experience points and dropping material resources worth thousands of dollars. The cost was merely 15 points of Mana Value. With the Mana Recovery from the [Spring] Equipment effect, her Mana Value would be fully replenished before the cooling was even over. Where else could she find such an opportunity?
"Little Piggy, what’s wrong?" Qin Ying couldn’t help but ask out of concern when she saw Yu Zhu resting her chin on her hand, looking dazed and worried.
She thought, "Wait, I’ve got it!"
Yu Zhu looked at Qin Ying, who had also upgraded to Lv7. "Ying, I’ll help you upgrade next!"
"...Eh?"
"I’ve told the girl the conditions. The rest is up to her to grasp," Yu Zhun smiled as he closed the communication channel.
Although the [Nether Abyss] was dangerous, the prerequisite hidden Dungeon, [Nether Trial], was a genuine welfare Dungeon that could help Yu Zhu level up faster. As for whether it was possible for her to clear the twenty-second floor of the Nether Trial and obtain the [Nether Abyss Invitation]...
Yu Zhun couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of the Demonized Elf Commander guarding that floor. Faced with the enemy’s whopping 400,000 Life Value and absurd skill Mechanisms, the current Yu Zhu was still not quite up to par. Besides... although the [Nether Abyss] was a Dungeon with bountiful rewards where one could obtain the [Hidden Pathway Reassignment Card], Yu Zhun instinctively didn’t want his sister to enter it.
"Mr. Yu, what do you think of the rule changes in the [Celestial Nether Lone Star] Dungeon?" Ji Xiaoyu asked softly from where she sat nearby.
"Hmm?" Yu Zhun snapped back to reality. Seeing the other Guild members looking at him, he pondered for a moment before speaking slowly. "I was just interacting with a few familiar Guilds earlier, and we also talked about this issue.
"This Dungeon is very abnormal."
Even though Yu Zhun had never encountered an anomalous rules-type Dungeon before, he could still deduce certain things by analyzing the characteristics of Mechanism Dungeons. For example, in an anomalous rules Dungeon, the rules to be followed should be fixed. But the [Celestial Nether Lone Star] was different. Every time one entered this Dungeon, there would be subtle changes in the rules. It was often just a few words or a couple of sentences, but such changes were quite fatal. They could even trigger a chain reaction that would lead to the annihilation of the entire team. Therefore, past raiding experiences couldn’t be overly relied upon; it required the raiders to conduct their own practical analysis inside the Dungeon.
Furthermore, according to the currently known information, the background of the [Celestial Nether Lone Star] Dungeon was also something they had never encountered before. It was a Dungeon set against a sci-fi and space backdrop.
"Speaking of which..." Yu Zhun looked at everyone and suddenly smiled. "It’s a good thing we have six people."
In the Dungeons they had raided previously, the number of raiders rarely affected the outcome. At most, a lack of personnel would lead to insufficient overall strength, making it impossible to clear the stage—and a lack of strength was non-existent in the [Godslayer] Guild. But the [Celestial Nether Lone Star] was a Dungeon heavily dependent on numbers. According to the information provided in the documents, this Dungeon required a minimum of five raiding members. If the number fell below that, a successful raid was absolutely impossible.
"Don’t worry too much about the raid," Yu Zhun offered a comforting smile to the tense faces around him. "We have plenty of opportunities to raid it this time. If we fail once, we’ll just try a few more times."
The [Celestial Nether Lone Star] had a high mortality rate, yet it was very safe. This sounded somewhat contradictory, but it was true. As long as you gave up attempting the raid and chose to slack off, you would definitely be able to leave the Dungeon safely. The raid teams that suffered casualties had all died on the path of exploration and attempting the raid.
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions relaxed slightly. No matter how comprehensive the information they had was, they ultimately had to enter the Dungeon themselves to gain a detailed and accurate understanding.
Time passed quickly, and it was soon the morning of the second day.
After breakfast, Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu went their separate ways in the Divine Revelation World. Yu Zhu was about to perform her first solo boss kill today, but she didn’t have to worry about drawing excessive attention from other players like Yu Zhun had, because she had already obtained the [Concealing Mask].
