Life Dungeon Game

city.

Of course, "ruin cities" only refers to old cities that have become ruins, and different cities have different styles and regions.

Scattered among the ruined cities are some desolate areas.

Wilderness is a term used in contrast to cities, and the environments within it vary greatly. Currently, research institutes have explored areas that are completely different, including forests, grasslands, mountains, snowfields, lakes, and deserts.

The underground palace is a different story. It's more like a subterranean refuge where you can't see any sky.

The only clue that this area is underground is the rock exposed by cracks in the metal walls in some areas.

The underground palace has a very complex terrain and is inhabited by all sorts of twisted creatures. It is the most dangerous of the three areas, and no one has yet found a way to leave the underground palace and rise to the surface.

According to the research institute's experience, the concentration of extraordinary power within the ruins is much higher than in the main world, making it easier to awaken and obtain extraordinary power.

Moreover, some extraordinary individuals can also obtain certain opportunities within it and enter higher levels.

However, the principle of advancement is not yet clear. The research institute's advice is that unless necessary, do not eat anything in the ruins. If there are any suspicious items, take them out first for the research institute to study.

Many of the sealed artifacts at the research institute today were brought out of the ruins by researchers who entered them.

Specially appointed researchers can keep the items they bring out, but they must ensure that they will not cause pollution. If they want to sell them, the research institute has the right of first refusal and will usually offer a reasonable market price.

Any items brought out of the ruins by official researchers belong to the research institute. The institute will be responsible for all sealing costs of these items and will then return a certain amount of points to the researchers based on the value of these items.

These points can be used to redeem the right to use certain sealed items from the research institute, or to apply for some sealed items that can be used long-term and are suitable for oneself.

This content is all things that Lao Zhang has talked about before, and it's also in the books on the plane.

However, there are some things in these books that Lao Zhang did not mention.

For example, the illustrations of extraordinary creatures inside the ruins—Old Zhang only mentioned these things, but didn't elaborate because they were difficult to describe.

The Encyclopedia of Extraordinary Creatures mainly contains extraordinary creatures that are commonly found in ruins. He Ao flipped through it and found some of the creatures quite interesting.

For example, there is a giant lizard called the 'Violet Rex', a monster with sharp teeth and a long tongue. The encyclopedia describes it as having great strength and regenerative abilities, but low intelligence. It can be killed by destroying its brain or blowing off its neck.

It was rated as Grade E.

This lizard looks somewhat like the strange beast that He Ao had seen before, the one kept by the mayor of Dawn City, but it looks much weaker than that beast.

Besides animals, many plants in the ruins also possess strange abilities.

For example, there is a white flower called 'Sleeping Flower'. They often bloom in clusters all over the area. If you accidentally wander into their sea of ​​flowers, all your emotions will gradually calm down, and you will eventually fall into the sea of ​​flowers and become the nutrients for these flowers.

The sleeping flower was also rated as Grade E.

Most of the creatures in the encyclopedia are E-rank or F-rank extraordinary beings, likely due to the limited strength of those who previously entered the ruins.

After all, those who can bring back data are all living people. If they encounter D-level or even higher-level monsters or strange plants, they simply cannot bring back information about those monsters.

He Ao glanced through the list and found that there was only one D-level alien beast, a 'gorilla' that sold goods and was named 'Merchant Gorilla'.

It has developed a certain level of intelligence and can communicate with people through gestures. Explorers who encounter it can exchange their weapons or extraordinary items obtained from other places with it.

Moreover, it must be a high-value exchange for a low-value one. If you don't exchange with it, or want an equivalent exchange, it will threaten to kill you.

Of course, if you swap with it, it will leave.

Then after a while they'll come back and continue the exchange with you.

The encyclopedia notes here that the interval between its return is uncertain and depends mainly on when the explorer obtains something good. Once the explorer finds something good, it will suddenly appear and then take advantage of the situation.

······

Very reasonable, extremely unscrupulous.

He continued flipping through the pages; the next section contained illustrations of some intelligent robots.

It includes robots and humanoid robots of various shapes. Some of the humanoid robots once had bionic skin, but it has completely fallen off over time.

These robots move along a pre-programmed path. As long as you don't touch them, you'll be fine. However, if you accidentally touch or attack them, you may be attacked by all the nearby robots.

Moreover, these robots seem unable to leave the ruins, as do their chips. The research institute has tried several times to bring these things out for research, but without success.

He Ao activated his super memory and memorized all the books.

Then he picked up his phone again, looking for a magic trick that suited his current situation.

He was quite interested in a few large-scale magic tricks, but the prerequisite for achieving a miracle magic trick was that he had to learn the trick himself and be able to perform it completely to deceive the audience.

However, these large-scale magic tricks generally require professional magic equipment to perform.

Furthermore, many magic tricks remain unsolved. After all, the secrets of magic are what magicians rely on for their livelihood, and many magicians are unwilling to reveal them. Moreover, time is tight now, and it is difficult for He Ao to find professional magic equipment.

He began to settle for second best and started thinking about whether he could achieve some 'miraculous' effects through some simple and easy-to-perform street magic tricks.

bang bang bang-

At that moment, there was a gentle knock on his partition door.

He Ao thought for a moment, took his Kaifeng vegetable paper bag, and opened the cubicle door.

What came into his view was a short-haired girl with dark skin, a slightly open mouth, wearing a husky half-face mask, and two cute little tiger teeth.

She saw He Ao open the door and chuckled, "Um, my code name is 'The Speech Master,' I'm from Dongdu, and I'm right across from you."

She turned to the side, letting He Ao see behind her.

The layout of this private jet is that there are cabins on both the left and right sides, with a narrow aisle in the middle.

He Ao's gaze fell upon the empty cockpit opposite, its door open.

"Um," the dark-skinned girl chuckled softly as her identity was confirmed, "I can't sleep alone."

He glanced at his cockpit, which didn't look like it could sleep two people. He reached out and put his hand on the door, preparing to close it.

"No, you've misunderstood," the commentator quickly waved his hand. "I only woke up at nine this morning, and it's only early afternoon now. I can't sleep. We happen to be sitting across from each other, so why don't we chat?"

?

He Ao had always been an honest, taciturn boy, and unable to handle this kind of situation, he said softly,

"Read a book."

Then he slammed the door shut and locked it from the inside.

"Hey, hey, hey," the commentator clearly hadn't expected this scene. She knocked on the door. "Let's chat for a bit. I'm so bored. We can talk quietly so we won't disturb anyone."

He ignored her and continued to study his magic tricks.

The commentator knocked on the door a few times but received no response, so he sighed, seemingly hesitating whether to knock on other people's doors.

However, before she could make up her mind, she attracted the attention of the flight attendants, who gently advised her to go back and not disturb others' rest.

She tried to get the flight attendants to chat with her for half an hour.

Thank you to the patron, Yongye Tianchen. I was stuck on the story all day, so the update is a little late. There will be an extra update from the patron tomorrow. Goodnight everyone.

Although He Ao wasn't tired, he still rested for a while during the flight to recharge.

With about an hour and a half left before reaching our destination, the plane's announcement system began, and the flight attendants started giving passengers some basic information about the ruins.

This knowledge was all mentioned in the book below the TV; it was probably a brief summary of the key points. After listening for a while, He Ao continued to study the magic trick.

At that moment, there was another knock on his door.

He hesitated for a moment, but then opened the door.

Do you want to listen to the radio?

The dark-skinned girl wearing a half-face mask of a husky outside the door asked in a low voice.

He Ao shook his head.

"I don't want to hear it either. I just read through all the books in the cockpit, and I'm so bored... Let me tell you..."

The girl was clearly excited.

Snapped--

He pulled the door shut.

······

After a brief silence, He Ao heard slow footsteps and the sound of the opposite cockpit door closing.

He Ao continued reading and made some small props using materials he had casually taken from home when he left.

Half an hour later, there was another knock on his door.

Heo opened the door, and before the other person could speak, took out a coin and whispered, "Want to see a magic trick?"

The commentator paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

He Ao took out a marker and handed the coin and marker to the commentator.

"Make a unique mark."

The commentator excitedly took the coin and pen, and was about to speak when He Ao immediately added, "Any mark is fine, don't ask about anything else."

The commentator raised his head and then lowered it again, pouting as he picked up his marker and fell into a brief moment of thought.

Then she drew a few marks on the coin and returned the marker and coin to Heo.

He Ao glanced at the coin; it had a cute smiley face drawn on it.

He shook his head and smiled, put away his marker, then rolled up his sleeves to show the commentator his empty palms and smooth, firm forearms.

"Right now, all I have is this coin. It's the coin you marked, and it's a one-of-a-kind coin in the world."

He Ao held the coin in his right hand, right hand on top, left hand on the bottom, and gently pushed it inward. The coin fell down his right palm and into his left hand below.

Then he clenched his left hand and casually tossed it into the air.

"That's where the air conditioning is ventilated..."

The commentator nervously reminded He Ao, but as soon as she spoke, a soft snap of fingers reached her ears.

He Ao withdrew his right hand from behind her head, his fingertips holding the silver coin with a smiley face drawn on it. "Here it is."
