Chapter 33: Opportunity!
Five minutes passed, in the blink of an eye.
Qin Ran didn't say goodbye.
Because, he knew that it should be impossible for him to return to this newbie dungeon.
Therefore, carrying many items including [Viper-M1] and two [Iron Fist-II] bazookas, Qin Ran raised his right hand with difficulty and said goodbye to Colleen and Maggie.
The two girls also waved in response to Qin Ran.
Colleen opened her mouth to say something.
However, Qin Ran, who had already left the time, didn't hear Collin's words clearly at all, and the bright light when he entered the copy appeared in front of his eyes again, making Qin Ran have to close his eyes and once again block the dazzling glare with his palm.
Then, the ensuing feeling of weightlessness made Qin Ran uncomfortable for a moment.
When everything returned to normal, Qin Ran found himself in a warehouse-like tin room.
The room in front of me was dusty and cobwebs.
The word shabby cannot be fully described.
The only thing that is commendable is that it is large enough for five buses to pass side by side and that it is not a problem to park ten buses.
"This is the game lobby?"
Qin Ran looked around, a little unsure.
At least, it was nothing like what he had imagined.
Even if you don't have a variety of dazzling game halls like other virtual games, you should be cleaner, right?
Qin Ran looked at the dust that could clearly mark the footprints, and frowned slightly.
However, soon, Qin Ran's attention was on his loot.
He carefully examined his backpack and belongings.
Qin Ran sighed helplessly when he found that the [Viper-M1] and the two [Tekken-II] bazookas were there, but the [U-II] grenade, [M1905] pistol, magazine, can, and water were missing.
"Sure enough, it's a little reluctant!"
Previously, with the help of Ke Lin, Qin Ran had completely reached the limit of his weight-a kind of appearance that could only barely stand and could not move.
Qin Ran was lucky.
But obviously, such a posture is still classified as overweight.
"Luckily!"
Qin Ran looked at the [Viper-M1] and the two [Iron Fist-II] bazookas, and once again shouted in his heart with joy.
If these two weapons were missing, he would really be in pain.
As for giving up other items, guaranteeing these two weapons?
Qin Ran naturally thought about it.
However, Qin Ran didn't know where the limit of his weight was, and he thought that he could handle it.
If Qin Ran was given a hundred kilograms of stones and let him carry them, he would definitely be discouraged.
But if Qin Ran was given a hundred kilograms of federal coins...... Qin Ran not only thought that he could carry it, but also be able to run, and he was faster than anyone else.
For Qin Ran, the property that belongs to him is life.
"Gotta find storage gear!"
Qin Ran thought subconsciously.
Rumble!
The sound of the explosion suddenly came from outside the room, which woke up Qin Ran, who was thinking, and Qin Ran, who was almost instinctive, instantly picked up the sniper rifle [Snake-M1] and aimed it at the door.
But...... The door is shut!
Even if Qin Ran judged that the explosion point was just outside the door.
The explosions did not end, on the contrary, like dominoes, a series of explosions began to appear.
Boom Boom!
The continuous explosions, Qin Ran concluded that they were around this room.
But the dilapidated warehouse, the tin room, is unharmed.
"This?"
Qin Ran instinctively guessed.
And a piece of text immediately appeared on Qin Ran's retina-
[A war broke out between Steam City and the Steel Chariot, please do not leave your house to avoid being affected!] 】
"Guild Wars?"
Qin Ran was stunned.
Qin Ran, who used to work in a gold mining studio, is naturally no stranger to this.
It's just that what Qin Ran didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the underground game, he encountered such a thing.
The words that appeared on the retina did not stop because of Qin Ran's wandering.
Lines of text appeared--
[Newbie Dungeon: War-torn City]
[Nature of Dungeon: Free]
【Dungeon Difficulty: Low】
[Main Quest: Survive for 3 days]
[Quest Completion: 100% (Base Evaluation: F)]
[Side Quest: Save more civilians until the end of the war, and each civilian rescued can increase the clearance rating]

[Newbie Dungeon Benefits: Evaluation Raised by One Level!] 】
[Player's final evaluation S!] 】
[Player's Newbie Dungeon Harvest Calculation......]
[The final player novice dungeon harvest results are as follows......]
[Points: 3000; Skill points: 3; Gold Skill Points: 1]
[Players have no serious injuries and do not need treatment!] 】
……
"3000 points? 3 skill points? 1 gold skill point? ”
Looking at the final gain, Qin Ran, who did not have any references, could not determine the value of it, but judging from the evaluation of Zhao S, he should have gained a lot.
"Players complete the newbie quest, and the channel opens ......"
Just as Qin Ran was checking his earnings, a mechanical voice appeared in the room.
With the appearance of this mechanical sound, in the room where Qin Ran was, on the wall facing the door, an LCD screen stood out like this, replacing the original iron wall.
After a brief blackout of the screen, three rows of large text began to appear on the LCD screen.
Shops, forums with copies.
As Qin Ran's gaze grew, a note appeared.
[Shop: Supply all kinds of raw materials, bullets and basic weapons, armor, medicines, sundries, and provide players with skill upgrade services]
[Forum: A platform for players to communicate and trade with players]
[Dungeon: A world where players adventure individually and in groups]
(Tip 1: Single-player dungeons, each time you enter, the cooldown is one week - the time ratio, no matter how long it is in the game, the reality is one hour)
(Tip 2: Multiplayer dungeon (at least 2 players), after each entry, the cooldown is one month)
(Tip 3: Enter a single or multiplayer dungeon at least once in three months, and those who do not enter will be disqualified from the game and judged to be dead) ......
Qin Ran's gaze swept over, and in the [Dungeon] column, he stared at it for a long time, with surprise in his eyes.
It's not about the time or cooldown time in the dungeon, these are what Qin Ran, who has experienced other virtual games, has long expected.
What made Qin Ran unexpected was that he had to enter a single or multi-player dungeon once in three months, otherwise he would be judged dead.
It's completely hard for a strong man!
It also indicates that even if Qin Ran obtains enough money in this underground game to treat his illness, he will need to take a life-and-death adventure every three months in the future.
Qin Ran's brows furrowed.
However, it was then released again.
"I haven't earned the treatment fee yet, so it's too early to think about it now!"
Qin Ran laughed self-deprecatingly.
Then, immediately start browsing in the [Store] [Forum].
The focus is on the value of points and the price of equipment.
Qin Ran has not forgotten the original purpose of his entry into the underground game: to make money!
Browsing like this is bound to be quite time-consuming.
It took nearly two hours, and Qin Ran only took a rough look at it.
First, there are the points.
In the forums, there are players who buy for 20-30 federal coins per 1 point.
However, there are very few sellers.
Obviously, this price is on the low side.
This is naturally good news for Qin Ran.
Because, this means that he has gained at least 6,000-9,000 federal coins from a novice copy, which is almost half of his previous income.
And then there's the Shop!
As the system describes, there are only basic items and various raw materials, and there is no imaginary powerful equipment at all, let alone skill books and storage equipment.
And the skill upgrade in it made Qin Ran, who thought he had gained a lot, feel shy in his pocket, as well as ...... Flesh pain!
Entry-level Gunpowder Weapons. Light Firearms] to the next level of 'Mastery' requires 1000 points and 1 skill point.
The points required to upgrade the entry-level [Stealth] to the next level of 'Mastery' are 1500, and similarly, 1 skill point is required.
Other basic skills are upgraded to the entry level, although they do not require skill points, but they are also not cheap, ranging from 200 to 800 points.
The skill [Tracking] is the highest.
The rest are around 200 points.
To put it simply, if Qin Ran improved the [Gunpowder Weapon. Light Firearms] and [Stealth] skill levels, the remaining points are only enough to upgrade two more basic skills excluding [Tracking], or go to the [Shop] to buy a set of full-body equipment, including weapons, armor, medicines, and necessary miscellaneous items - a set of 500 points, which is placed in the first row of the first page of the [Shop], the most conspicuous position.
Although the weapons in this complete set of equipment are given a pistol, a dagger, matching bullets for two magazines, the armor is also from head to toe, the medicine includes three rolls of high-grade bandages, and the miscellaneous items include kettles, cigarettes, lighters, etc., but Qin Ran will definitely not buy it, not to mention that Qin Ran has better weapons and armor.
The experience of the gold strike studio alone allowed Qin Ran to find a cheaper purchase channel: players!
Between low-level equipment, the transaction between players and players has always been high-quality and cheap.
After that, Qin Ran's browsing on the [forum] completely proved this point.
Full body equipment that is exactly the same as the [Shop] will only cost 400 points if you buy it from a player.
If you remove the firearm, 300 points will do.
And if you even remove the medicines, a set of 200 points, or even a lower price, can be done.
Qin Ran silently browsed the transactions on the forum, especially the weapons and medicines that remained high, and his eyes gradually lit up.
You know, he came back with two [Tekken-II] bazookas.
