Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

Currently, the Freya Familia and the Loki Familia, as the two most powerful forces within Orario, are both factions focused on 'dungeon exploration'.

As far as Ling Shu knew, once a clan confirmed that it wanted to become a 'Dungeon Exploration' faction, the initial procedures would be much simpler, and the taxes and fees that had to be paid to the 'guild' would also be significantly reduced.

It's obvious that the 'guild' is indirectly encouraging more members to conquer dungeons.

Therefore, in contrast to those convenient projects...

“When a clan’s faction rating reaches ‘D’, it must begin an ‘expedition’.”

Yes, just like adventurers' [ability stats], factions themselves also have ratings.

The evaluation criteria for 'D-rank' is: there must be at least one Lv.4 adventurer in the family.

Without a doubt, both the Freya Familia and the Loki Familia meet... or even far exceed this standard.

Therefore, both major powers have their own 'expedition' quotas to complete.

Generally speaking, on Freya's Familia's side, the expedition quota, which can be considered a 'mandatory mission,' is usually farmed by the [Flame Gold Four Warriors] and the 'Black and White Knights'.

Incidentally, the four Palum (dwarf race) brothers had been wanting to contact the Twin Stars for a long time, but they couldn't find the time due to some trivial matters.

Freya had previously believed that her own clan was not suitable for Ryouki to grow up in the best way.

That's how he got two 'expedition' slots from Loki.

All I can say is that her older sister is worrying about everything, just like she's finding an efficient tutoring class for her own child.

And today...

"Is everyone assembled?"

"Yes, everyone's here."

Inside the 'Central Plaza' in front of Orario-Babel, dozens of Loki Familia members selected this time have already lined up.

Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying, along with a group of other core cadres, stood in the first row.

Thanks to Ying's recent 'efforts' and the fact that the two were 'distinguished guests', no one had any objections.

Even the members standing at the back all had smiles on their faces, looking forward to traveling with the "Star Twins".

Perfect timing, taking advantage of the great group atmosphere...

"Now that everyone is here, listen up."

Finn, standing at the very front of the group, loudly commanded, "Our ultimate goal for this expedition remains the 'unexplored territory' recorded within the clan, namely: the 59th floor."

"To avoid causing chaos at the 'upper level,' the team was divided into three groups."

"Among them, I will lead Group 1, Riveria will be in charge of Group 2, and Grace will be the leader of Group 3."

"We'll first gather at the '18th floor' in batches, and then head straight to the 'deeper' levels."

"Did you understand?"

At this point...

"Yes!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

"Then, let's begin the operation according to the group list agreed upon last night."

At this moment, with Finn's command, the large group of dozens of people gradually dispersed.

Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying are both in Group 2.

Under the command of Riveria...

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Beginning of the Journey...

Before his transmigration, when Ling Shu first encountered the DanMachi series, he thought the Loki Familia's 'expedition' efficiency was incredibly high.

Often, a few scenes are enough to establish a presence in the "deep layers".

However, it is clear that this is entirely a camera technique designed to ensure a good viewing experience.

The truth is that, in order to speed up the plot, the production team omitted many details related to the 'expedition'.

Let me hold up a peach...

This is because the underground city has an extremely large interior space, and the terrain becomes more complex the deeper you go, with more types of monsters, stronger monsters, and higher hatching efficiency... So, normally, it takes Loki's expedition team a full five days to reach a safe floor in the 'deep' area.

That is, the 50th floor.

This shows that even if the expedition did nothing, the round trip alone would take a full ten days to complete.

However, if a highly threatening emergency occurs during this period, or if a difficult quest is requested by the 'guild' or some friendly clans, the time required will definitely be extended further.

As a result, the extremely limited reserves of logistical supplies undoubtedly became a major problem hindering the efficiency of their "expeditions".

Over the years, the Loki Familia has actually been trying to reach the '59th floor'.

Unfortunately, by the time they reached the '58th floor', their supplies were almost completely used up.

Under these circumstances, Finn, who also had to consider the costs of the return journey, had no choice but to retreat time and time again.

They then accumulated experience repeatedly and continuously revised the expedition plan.

Or perhaps: hoping that someone within the clan will experience a leap in combat power, completely changing the current stalemate.

In short, it is precisely because of these two points that the Loki Familia has never given up on the expedition, even though they have been unable to clear the 58th floor.

After many twists and turns, we've arrived at today...

"Finn and his men have been gone for a long time, so we're starting to set off too."

"it is good."

In the central square in front of the Tower of Babel, the second expedition team, led by Riveria, had been waiting for some time.

At this moment, upon the command of this woman of elven royal lineage, the group of members who had been chatting idly in twos and threes nearby all consciously came to gather in front of her.

This includes Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying, without exception.

The group then entered the lower level of the Tower of Babel together.

Meanwhile, not far to the side, by a flower bed, the "third group," led by the last of the "Big Three," the dwarf Mr. Grice, was still resting.

In fact, Finn's decision to divide the expedition team of several dozen people into three groups and set off in sequence was based on past experience.

First, it should be noted that the dungeon, as one of the 'three great secret realms' in the current world, has an overall cone-shaped structure, with the area occupied by a single floor increasing as you go deeper.

However, this expansion trend is also governed by certain patterns.

Increasing step by step.

Roughly speaking, the area occupied by the 'fifth floor' is about the same size as this central plaza.

The floors above that will only have a smaller footprint.

Moreover, the 'first nine levels' are all in mine-like terrain. If too many adventurers squeeze into those passages that are several meters wide and high and connect various chambers, it will prevent teammates from freely exerting their full combat power.

Among these, the most typical example that makes people feel "must be wary" is the little angel Tiona, who is used to wielding a three-meter-long "double-edged sword".

Every time she enters the dungeon, without saying a word, she starts wielding the giant weapon, which is almost twice her height, like a high-speed propeller, making ordinary monsters almost instantly turn into mincemeat if they get close. Even their ash-turning rhythm is half a beat slower than hers.

What if a teammate accidentally gets too close...

Yes, that scene must be quite bizarre.

In short, aside from his impressive personal combat skills, Finn, this "hero," is most commendable for his ability to remain calm and make high-level deductions, plans, and commands.

The experience he summarized and the plans he formulated were usually very practical.

Occasionally, they can even achieve unexpected victories.

This point was fully demonstrated at the end of the horrific "Seven Days of Death" incident that erupted several years ago.

As for now...

“Our group has a lot of ‘backup’ roles (ranged firepower output members and healers). According to the plan set by Finn, when we move into the ‘upper’ area later, you two, Kong and Ying, will lead the way.”

“Alysia, Lefia, Linne… are positioned in the middle of the group, ready to provide support at any time.”

"Anna and I covered their retreat."

Upon entering the lower levels of the Tower of Babel, Rivera, wielding the highest-grade wand, stopped at the point where she had initially descended the stairs. She looked at the group around her and asked seriously, "Have you all remembered it clearly?"

"Ah."

The group nodded in agreement.

Ling Shu's side...

"It's finally starting."

He took a deep breath and thought to himself, "This time, I'll take advantage of the entire journey to properly test the mana regeneration efficiency of 'Star Abyss' and see just how buggy it is."

With this in mind, he and Ying simultaneously summoned the 'Traveling Sword' and the 'Dawn Divine Sword', and were the first to step into the 'High Platform Spiral Corridor' located at the bottom of the Tower of Babel.

As is well known, the towering Tower of Babel was not only the gathering place of the gods, but also a seal, a 'lid', for the underground city.

To prevent the monsters inside from escaping to the surface and wreaking havoc, a staircase was first built at the bottom of the Tower of Babel, and the surrounding walls were made of 'Orichalcum', which is absolutely impenetrable by attacks below level 7.

Then, on this enclosed, high platform, construct a downward-extending spiral corridor resembling the entrance to a super-large mine.

With this up-and-down movement, even if monsters escape, they will first be met by the Ganesha Familia members who have been stationed here.

Most of them are Lv.4.

The guild leader, 'Shakti Farma', is a Level 5, first-class adventurer.

When they encounter the 'upper-level' monsters that are most likely to escape, it's a guaranteed instant kill.

If a 'monster uprising' occurs, the core members of the Freya Familia and Loki Familia will be immediately invited to assist.

This place is therefore known as the 'last impregnable line of defense on the earth'.

Super stable...probably~

In short, nothing out of the ordinary has happened here today.

The second expedition team entered the dungeon smoothly, and with the extremely efficient path-clearing capabilities of the Twin Stars, they arrived at the middle level area in just half a day.

And then...
