Chapter 17: The Difficulty of Ascension

【Single dungeon entry!】 】

[Difficulty Confirmation: 5th Dungeon Difficulty]

[Background: The minister with the king's secret order disappeared on the way to Fort Swout, and the lord of Fort Shut sent you a request for help......]

[Main Quest: Find the missing minister in 7 days, 0/7]

[Obtain a temporary language, and when you leave the dungeon, it will automatically disappear]

[The attributes of clothing, backpacks, weapons, and items remain unchanged, and their appearance changes temporarily, and they will be automatically restored when you leave the dungeon]

[Detect guns and grenades that do not match the age, the power will drop by 90%, and after entering the dungeon, you will get the corresponding compensation (the compensation skill cannot improve the attributes, and it will disappear after leaving the dungeon world)]

(Hint: This is your fifth official dungeon, the main quest can fail, but you need to pay a ransom of 500 points, and the maximum attribute is reduced by 2 levels, when the points are insufficient, the equipment will be deducted, and when the deducted equipment cannot make up for the penalty points, the player will be judged to have failed the game!) )

……

The appearance of lines and lines of text. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Qin Ran's brows were furrowed.

His gaze quickly swept over 'Get compensation for the age of the equipment', and stopped at 'Drop 2 levels of the highest attribute'.

"As the number of dungeons increases, not only will the difficulty increase, but the punishment will also increase?"

Qin Ran muttered to himself, his brows furrowed even tighter.

Because, Qin Ran knew very well that with the continuous improvement of his attributes, the highest attribute -1 and the highest attribute -2 seemed to be only 1 difference, but the consumption in them was very different.

That's not just the consumption of points, but the gold skill points.

"Can't you fail more and more?"

Qin Ran, who knew very well what was at stake, sighed and looked at the compensation.

Just like lawlessness, compensation is fair.

【Gunpowder Weapons. Light Firearms (Extraordinary)】

【Gunpowder Weapons. Explosion (Mushuang)】

They can be exchanged for two skills that match the Transcendent level and the Musou level that match the era of the dungeon world.

The types of skills range from the common [Cold Weapon. Long Sword] [Cold Weapon. Long Knife] to [Cold Weapon. Special Weapons] and then to Cold Weapons. Xenomorph weapons, shield mastery, etc., are all limited to the basic category, and there are no skills beyond the basic category.

As for the mystical side skills?

Don't even think about it.

The system has always been fair.

"Choose [Shield Mastery (Transcendental)] and [Cooking (Mushuang)]!"

Qin Ran's eyes looked at the skills one by one, and he soon had a choice.

Weapon skills, in the possession of the extraordinary level of [cold weapons. Heavy weapons], Qin Ran didn't plan to make more repetitive choices.

Therefore, many skills with cold weapon prefixes were abandoned first.

And after giving up these skills, the number of skills that can be selected is immediately reduced by more than half.

In addition to one [Shield Mastery], the remaining skills are some skills such as swimming and climbing.

Compared with skills such as swimming and climbing, Qin Ran is naturally inclined to [cooking].

[Special Effect: Shield Bearer (When you choose Defense, Strength and Constitution are +4 Extra)]

……

[Special Effect: Taste (You're better at making food give off an attractive aroma)]

[Consumption: Stamina]

【Prerequisites:None】

[Note: Your cooking skills allow you to gain a foothold in any restaurant]

……

The same knowledge is in harmony with the body.

The whole process is no different from acquiring skills in the true sense of the word.

Except for disappearing when leaving the dungeon world.

When Qin Ran finished his choice, the words in front of him began to fade away.

Bright light and a sense of weightlessness begin to appear.

By the time everything was back to normal, he was already standing outside a town fenced off with a wooden fence.

Two guard-looking soldiers at the entrance were staring at him warily.

On the sentry tower not far away, the guards had already picked up their longbows and drawn out their arrows, although they didn't bend their bows and arrows in the real sense, let alone aim at him, Qin Ran felt that he didn't seem to be welcome.

"Guys, I have no ill will!"

"I was invited here by the owner of Fort Shut......"

Qin Ran, who was no longer a newcomer, naturally coped with the situation in front of him.

However, to his surprise, with his words, the guards in front of him not only did not relax, but on the contrary, became more and more vigilant.

The guards on the watchtower even put arrows on the bowstring.

"Go away, you accomplice of the witch!"

"You're not welcome here!"

The two guards drew their long swords and expelled Qin Ran.

Witch?

Not the owner of this territory?

The information revealed by the guards surprised Qin Ran.

But before Qin Ran could ask more, the two guards approached with swords

That insistent attitude made Qin Ran believe that if he continued, the two people on the other side would definitely not mind stabbing at him in the true sense of the word.

Although the number of the other party was ten times larger, it was not enough to see, but Qin Ran wisely chose to retreat.

Because, he found that he seemed to be deceived by the trap of words.

Or, more precisely, he accidentally fell into the inertia of thinking.

In the background of this dungeon world, the words "King's Order" and "Imperial Minister" were mentioned, coupled with the previous experience of the dungeon world always directly facing the tasker or entering the scope of the mission, which made him subconsciously think that the first place he saw should be Fort Swoot.

But in fact, the place where he is located is not the so-called Fort Swut at all.

Moreover, the owner of Fort Shut is not the master of this territory, but a witch.

"Beginning to officially get out of the novice period, has the system's help in the dungeon world been further reduced?"

Qin Ran thought to himself.

He had expected this.

Based on the increase in the number of dungeons and the increase in difficulty, it is impossible for the system to be like a nanny, arranging a more reasonable identity for the player every time and performing the task in a simpler way.

After a certain number of times, this 'protective measure' will inevitably be lifted.

It's just that Qin Ran didn't expect it to be so soon.

"You have to be careful with what you say and do!"

Qin Ran warned himself from the bottom of his heart.

It was only the fifth dungeon difficulty in front of him, and what he encountered was only an inconspicuous town, loosely guarded, and his attitude towards witches was nothing but disgust.

If it was the sixth or seventh dungeon difficulty, if he was so reckless, it would definitely not be as simple as just retreating and leaving.

The word 'burned'.

Qin Ran knew.

After quickly retreating to a place that the town's satellite satellite line could not reach, Qin Ran looked at the background introduction playfully.

"How would a king send a messenger to a witch with a secret order?"

This is really a bit incredible in Qin Ran's opinion.

However, before Qin Ran could think of more, he was interrupted by a hurried sound of horses' hooves.

A squad of five, heavily armed cavalry rushed out of the town.

"Hurry up and find that witch's accomplices!"

The leading knight shouted like this.

The voice came into Qin Ran's ears clearly.
