All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

[Dungeon Card (Black) (Team-up): Dark Despair]

[Instructions: After using this card, you will enter the Dark Despair dungeon world. Most areas of this world are in darkness all year round. There are countless dangerous monsters, a large number of strange secret realms and a small number of NPCs struggling to survive. You can only pass the level by finding out the reason why darkness has descended on this world.

This dungeon has a very high overall risk level, but you may get extra rewards by killing monsters and exploring secret realms. It is suitable for players who are patient and adventurous. 】

At this time, in the bedroom on the second floor of Dongcheng Villa, Wang Zhifan was selecting the special copy he was about to enter. He finally focused his attention on a black copy card called "Dark Despair".

This copy was one of the ones he had recently obtained by posting a request to buy it on a forum. It looked to have decent content, which aroused his interest.

"Darkness has descended upon the entire world. It is very likely that a god-level being is behind this. This provides the basis for producing myth points...

You can clear the level by finding out the reason why darkness is falling. Is the requirement for black difficulty too low?

But this further proves that there is a high possibility of hidden tasks, such as directly breaking through the darkness and restoring light to this world...

In addition, killing monsters and exploring secret realms can earn extra rewards. Can my reward selection privilege be triggered? Can I get a wave of unexpected gains directly? Not bad, not bad, this is it. "

After thinking for a while, Wang Zhifan judged that this copy had great potential, and immediately used it.

There is no need to elaborate on the initial process of time travel. In a blink of an eye, Wang Zhifan found himself in pure darkness.

Above his head was a pitch-black sky with no moon or stars. Under his feet was solid dirt ground. If he moved slightly he could touch the short, dry weeds. All around him was a faint, cold wind, mixed with eerie, chilling sounds that floated in from afar.

"I am standing in a sparse grassland. There is a mud temple a thousand meters ahead. The strange sound came from inside. There is a broken tomb six hundred meters behind. Gusts of cold wind came from the hole in the tomb...

It seems that this world is more of an ancient oriental style, I thought it was still a Western fantasy. "

As a being with extremely strong perception, Wang Zhifan saw no difference between being in the dark and standing in a bright environment. He did not use any lighting equipment and began his initial exploration slowly.

First, he teleported silently to the closer earthen grave with broken tombstones, and stood beside it to observe closely the grave that was obviously dangerous.

But the actual situation was that he did not suffer any attack. In fact, when he approached, the hole on the top of the earthen grave immediately stopped emitting cold wind, behaving very politely.

"What's wrong, little brother? Don't you love blowing? Why don't you blow anymore? Are you tired?"

Seeing this, Wang Zhifan directly stuck his head into the hole on the top of the earthen grave. His eyes penetrated the darkness and stared at the existence inside. He asked provocatively, deliberately angering the strange monster inside.

However, the zombie-like creature lying in the coffin in the earthen grave was not moved at all. It was obsessed with pretending to be an ordinary corpse and did not react no matter how Wang Zhifan danced on the grave.

"Good boy, you are quite skilled. I am embarrassed to take action now."

Wang Zhifan had encountered similar situations before. Generally speaking, only monsters with a certain level of strength would have this kind of reaction. When faced with an enemy they could not defeat, they would play dead to protect themselves, rather than being truly peace-loving.

But Wang Zhifan came here with a clear purpose. He would not let the monster go just because it was polite. He immediately used his insight ability to invade the zombie's mind.

After a few seconds, he thought about it and said to himself:

“It is indeed a world similar to the ancient Xia Kingdom, and it is also a world with certain supernatural powers.

One day, darkness descended, and the poor scholar who died young turned into a zombie. In the early days of darkness, it was cunning and vicious, devouring many passers-by, and gradually became stronger...

It’s a pity that it knows too little key information and can’t see more.”

With a snap of his fingers, Wang Zhifan turned the zombie that refused to move despite his exploration of his mind into nothingness. He used the power of space to give it a quick death, and then began to wait with anticipation.

According to the instructions on the copy card, there will be extra rewards dropped for killing the monsters in this copy. Considering that this zombie is quite powerful and intelligent, it is estimated that there will be good rewards.

But after waiting for several seconds, no reward list appeared in front of Wang Zhifan's eyes, nor did he find any objects appearing out of thin air, which made him confused for a moment.

"Why didn't anything fall? Isn't this right?"

Not giving up, he waved his hand and the entire earthen tomb broke apart, revealing all the items inside. As a result, he only found a simple coffin that was severely decayed, and there was no prize hidden inside.

This is undoubtedly very strange. Generally speaking, the instructions in the copy card are not wrong.

Wang Zhifan stood there pondering for a while, and finally came to a conclusion. Either he was unlucky and the monster he killed did not produce a reward, or the reward was destroyed when he killed the monster just now, which means that the reward was on the zombie.

"It seems that the zombie has a jade pendant hanging around its waist? It has some supernatural powers, but it is far from what I need, so I didn't pay attention to it just now."

After thinking about it, Wang Zhifan could only learn from his experience and teleport to the earth temple in another direction.

This earthen temple is similar to the earthen grave where a zombie was lying and blowing air out. It has its own characteristics, that is, strange sounds are constantly coming out of it, sometimes like a baby's laughter, and sometimes like a woman's crying.

Wang Zhifan could tell what was inside without entering it: a fierce ghost hidden in a mud statue.

A guy who can live next to zombies is naturally not weak in strength, but compared with Wang Zhifan, he is not strong enough at all and cannot make him feel the slightest sense of danger.

Wang Zhifan first used his insight to explore the information in the ghost's mind, and found that what he got was similar to the zombie just now, so he looked for the so-called reward. Little did he know that this ghost had a bad temper and couldn't keep his composure. After he invaded its mind, it suddenly let out a sharp howl, rushed out of the mud statue, and attacked him with its one-meter-long nails.

Wang Zhifan immediately stopped the time around him, turning the attacking evil ghost into a rigid target. He then carefully observed the evil ghost's body and found that there were indeed two things that could be called rewards.

“Its hairpin has icy power and can be used as a throwing weapon.

The sachet around the waist looked intact and emitted a strange bloody smell, which might have served as a camouflage.

These two things are very conspicuous on it, and the style of painting does not match the image of a terrifying ghost. They must be rewards...

The setting of the extraordinary game is too simple, and it doesn't even include an item introduction panel. "

After complaining a few words in his heart, Wang Zhifan immediately mobilized his power to destroy the stagnant evil spirit, leaving only the hairpin and sachet on its body in his hands.

When he touched the two items personally, he found that they were almost free of the breath of the evil spirit. One gave him a cold feeling, and the other faintly emitted a special bloody smell. Both could be smoothly put into the player's personal space, proving that they were indeed dungeon rewards and the type that could be taken out of the dungeon.

In this way, Wang Zhifan finally understood the reward method of this copy. It was not like the ordinary copy where the rewards dropped out of thin air and came with a text introduction. Instead, players needed to find the rewards on the monsters themselves and then figure out their functions by themselves. The mechanism was quite primitive.

Afterwards, Wang Zhifan left the initial location and officially began his in-depth exploration of this dark world.

Considering the need to contact the residents of this world, he used his chaos distortion ability to create a torch that could burn for a long time. He walked in the dark world with a bright torch in one hand.

In this way, if local residents appear near him, they can spot him immediately, and they will not mistake him for some kind of monster in the dark because of his strange movements, which is conducive to friendly communication.

At this time, Wang Zhifan, holding a torch in his left hand, crossed the dry wasteland and came to a small stone bridge.

In the light of the fire, he saw that under the small stone bridge was a shallow river about seven or eight meters wide, but the color of the river was a dazzling red, and a few blood-red bubbles appeared on the water surface from time to time.

At first glance, the small stone bridge seems nothing special, but Wang Zhifan's perception is very strong. He can find that there is a strange power gathering on the stone bridge. Once you step on it, you will be dragged into a secret world.

"Is this the so-called secret realm? Whether you cross the blood river or walk across the stone bridge, you will enter another space. It's quite interesting."

With the idea of ​​exploration in mind, Wang Zhifan first walked towards the small stone bridge.

When one of his feet stepped onto the surface of the stone bridge, he immediately felt the power of the law of space flash by, and then the scene in front of his eyes changed, from the small bridge head illuminated by torches to a bridge at least two meters wide and thirty meters long. The only thing that was the same was that this bridge was also in the dark.

"It is indeed an independent space. Non-space forces cannot pass through the two ends of the bridge. Only by killing the enemies in front can we be exiled."

Standing on the bridge with a torch in hand and taking a look, Wang Zhifan knew the rules of this place clearly, because he saw a tall figure wearing a bamboo hat walking towards him from the other side of the bridge. There was a faint connection between the other person and the surrounding space at the level of laws. Once he was eliminated, this secret realm would open up a passage to leave.

Considering that there was a reward in the secret realm, Wang Zhifan then focused on finding where the so-called reward was hidden. Then he discovered that there was no prize on the entire bridge, and the prize was still placed on the man in the bamboo hat who was approaching.

When the man in the bamboo hat walked to the bridge three meters away from Wang Zhifan, he suddenly took off his hat, revealing a face that Wang Zhifan was very familiar with.

He looked heroic but had a ferocious look in his eyes. He actually looked exactly like Wang Zhifan. He stared fiercely at the real Wang Zhifan holding a torch on the bridge and said:
"Kill you...everything you have will belong to me!"

After saying that, the fake suddenly threw the hat in his hand towards Wang Zhifan's head in front of him, then jumped high with one foot and leaped towards Wang Zhifan from the dark sky, with the ferocious momentum of a bird of prey hunting.

Wang Zhifan stood where he was, neither fighting back nor moving. He held up the torch and watched the attacking hat shatter into pieces. Then he looked up and saw the being disguised as himself falling from the sky, stretching out his iron claws to grab his face, and then he was suddenly shaken away. In the blink of an eye, he retreated more than ten feet away, fell on the bridge and rolled several times.

Obviously, the hat and the close enemies were automatically bounced back by Wang Zhifan's biological force field. The hat was not strong enough and bounced into pieces on the ground. The enemy was stronger and could barely withstand the power of the rebound.

Wang Zhifan observed the entire process. He didn't care about the strength of this enemy, but was curious about his nature, because this guy was really a human made of flesh and blood. He looked exactly like him, but was slightly different and was attracted by the laws and forces around him.

"This secret realm has replicated someone who looks like me? The means are quite sophisticated... but the difference in strength is too great, so it can be ignored."

With a flash of thought in his mind, Wang Zhifan first invaded the mind of the fake creature that had just stood up on the bridge in front of him, and then the fake creature suddenly broke into pieces and was killed instantly by him from a distance, with blood scattered all over the ground.

He then activated the power of space and took out two things from the corpse through the air. One was a copper ring, and the other was a thread-bound book with a green cover.

Wang Zhifan held the copper ring in his hand and could vaguely feel that it had the effect of increasing strength. The blue-bound book did not have any special effect. It was just a book. However, Wang Zhifan could not understand the text on it because it was a kind of hieroglyphics that was similar to the Xia Dynasty's characters but not the same.

"There's not even a text translation, so who knows what's written in it... But that guy's mind is completely blank, it's definitely a makeshift fake."

When Wang Zhifan was complaining in his heart, the bridge he was on changed rapidly. First, the fake objects scattered on the ground and in a pool of blood disappeared out of thin air. Then, the power of the law of space was applied to Wang Zhifan without a trace, moving him away from the bridge and returning to the original small stone bridge.

The emergence of this series of laws and powers suddenly made Wang Zhifan think, because the difficulty of this secret realm was very low but the configuration was very high, which gave him a very strange feeling.

"Why does it feel like the same as the Extraordinary Game... No, this is a copy of the Extraordinary Game, a bit like a nesting doll."

Turning his head to look at the shallow blood river under the small stone bridge, Wang Zhifan was very sure that entering it would also trigger a secret realm, but he did not intend to enter it because he could foresee that the difficulty would be very low.

"According to the usual routine of the dungeon, it is unlikely that you will encounter high-level characters in the early stages. So, go explore a farther area and find out what this dungeon world is like."

After the initial experience, Wang Zhifan's understanding of this dungeon has been further improved, and he is ready to speed up the pace. (End of this chapter)
