Chapter 146: The Crimson Demon Lord intervenes again! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
“【Invitation to the Nether Abyss】…”

Looking at the message sent by Yu Zhun, Yu Zhu couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Now, she finally knew where these low-level but high-quality equipment that Yu Zhun prepared for her came from.

The opportunity to enter such a hidden copy is definitely not to be missed.

However, according to Yu Zhun, in order to qualify to enter the hidden copy, you need to kill the three major bosses in the novice area alone with your health value not less than 75%.

Well, this is the condition Yu Zhun guessed based on his own experience.

He completed three kills at the beginning. The first one was completed when he teamed up with the Su brothers and sisters, but due to unexpected circumstances, the other party withdrew early.

If a teammate quits early, it will also be counted as a single kill, but the boss Black Rock Snake was not at full health at that time, and its health was roughly around 75%.

Yu Zhu just killed the Blazing Fire Rhino with Qin Ying, which did not meet the conditions for a single kill.

Therefore, she needs to kill all three bosses individually.

Killing the Boss alone is not a difficult task for Yu Zhu now.

After all, she can kill the opponent in seconds with two [Treatments], and can also use [Encouragement] to make the opponent’s attack drop to negative numbers, and transform into a nurse on the spot.

However, Yu Zhu is already at Level 7, and it only takes about 10 experience points to upgrade to Level .

Just killing the three bosses alone would provide her with 6000 experience points over the next three days.

This made Yu Zhu a little worried.

She wanted to bite the spiky porcupine some more.

These guys are super easy to bully. One [Group Healing] can kill 30 of them in seconds, gain more than a thousand experience points, and drop material resources worth thousands of dollars. It only consumes 15 mana points, and with the mana recovery of the equipment effect [Source], they will be healed before the cooldown is over.

Where can I find such an opportunity…

“Little pig, what’s wrong with you?” Qin Ying couldn’t help but show concern when she saw Yu Zhu, who was holding his head in a daze with a worried look on his face.

Huh? Got it!

Yu Zhu looked at Qin Ying, who had also reached Level 7.

“Yingzi, let me help you upgrade next!”

“…Eh?”
–
“I’ve told the girl the conditions, and the follow-up is up to her.” After closing the communication, Yu Zhun smiled.

Although [Netherworld Abyss] is very dangerous, the previous hidden copy [Netherworld Trial] is a real welfare copy that can help Yu Zhu improve faster.

As for whether Yu Zhu can possibly pass the 22nd level of the Netherworld Trial and get the [Invitation to the Netherworld Abyss]…

Thinking of the demonized elf leader who was in charge of the 22nd level of the Netherworld Trial, Yu Zhun couldn’t help but smile.

Faced with the opponent’s 40 health points and outrageous skill mechanism, Yu Zhu is still not good enough.

in addition…

Although [Netherworld Abyss] is a copy with abundant rewards and can obtain [Hidden Path Job Transfer Card], Yu Zhun, as an older brother, instinctively does not want Yu Zhu to enter it.

“President, what do you think about the changes in the rules in the [Tianming Guxing] copy?” Ji Xiaoyu who was sitting next to him spoke softly.

“Hmm?” Yu Zhun came back to his senses and saw that the other guild members were all looking at him. After a moment’s silence, he slowly spoke, “I just dealt with several guilds I was familiar with before, and we also discussed this issue.”

“This copy is very abnormal.”

Even though Yu Zhun had never come across a rule-based ghost story dungeon before, he could still make some judgments based on the characteristics of the mechanism dungeon.

For example, in a rule-based ghost story copy, the rules that need to be followed should be certain.

But [Tianming Guxing] is different.

Every time you enter this copy, the rules will change slightly, often just a few words or a sentence or two, but this change is quite fatal and may even cause a chain reaction and lead to the death of all members.

Therefore, previous strategy experience cannot be overly relied upon, and the strategy player must do more actual analysis in the dungeon himself.

In addition, according to the currently known information, the copy background of [Tianming Guxing] is also something they have never encountered before.

This is a copy with technology and space as the background.

“Come to think of it…” Yu Zhun looked at everyone, and then suddenly smiled, “Luckily, there are six of us.”

In previous strategy copies, the number of people attacking often did not affect the strategy. At most, insufficient strength would result from insufficient manpower and thus making it impossible to pass the level. However, this strength problem did not exist in the [Killing God] guild.

But [Tian Ming Gu Xing] is a copy that depends on the number of people.

According to the information provided, this copy requires at least 5 members to attack. If the number is less than this, it will be impossible to successfully attack.

“Don’t worry too much about the strategy.” Looking at the nervous people, Yu Zhun showed a comforting smile, “We have many opportunities to attack this time. If it doesn’t work once, we can try a few more times.”

[Tianming Guxing] The mortality rate is high, but it is very safe.

This may sound contradictory, but it is true.

As long as you give up trying to conquer and choose to play badly, you will be able to leave this dungeon safely. Those conquering teams whose members died all died on the way of exploration and conquering.

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions relaxed a little.

No matter how complete the information you have, you still have to enter the copy yourself to have a detailed and accurate understanding.

Time flies and soon it is the next morning.

After Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu finished their breakfast, they separated in the Shenqi world.

Yu Zhu is about to kill a boss solo for the first time today, but she doesn’t have to worry about attracting excessive attention from other players like Yu Zhun.

Because she has already obtained the [Concealing Mask].

The secret protection of Yu Zhu by the Shenqi Hall has been activated.

As for Yu Zhun, today was his first time to attack the Lv40 special copy [Tianming Guxing].

After preparing for so long, we can finally start.

Arriving at the raider’s base, Yu Zhun and the guild members made final preparations and soon arrived on time at 10 a.m.

The [Moon-Eating Wolf] guild’s strategy team, which was ahead of the [Killing God] guild, walked out of the dungeon entrance. The leader of the strategy team smiled at Yu Zhun and handed him the information he had just sorted out.

“Brother Yu Zhun, come on!”

“Okay.” Yu Zhun was stunned for a moment and smiled back.

Then, he took a deep breath and looked towards the entrance of the copy.

“Get ready, we’re going in.”

The guild members standing behind him nodded at the same time, their expressions becoming serious.

“Be careful.” The two powerful men from the Hall of Divine Revelation who were guarding the entrance gave a warning and then stepped aside to make way.

The strong men from various guilds in the base cast their eyes over at the same time.

Are they going in? Because of Yu Zhun, they had already found out the attack time of the [Killing God] Guild in advance.

The small guild created by this SSS-level talented player once conquered [Tide of the Red Moon]. I wonder how they will perform this time?
Under the gaze of everyone, Yu Zhun and six others walked towards the entrance of the copy step by step.

At the moment Yu Zhun entered the copy, a very subtle deep red color flashed across the originally purple-black entrance door.

At the same time, a flash of deep red appeared in the depths of Yu Zhun’s eyes.

Along with the brief feeling of dizziness when entering the copy scene, the familiar voice of the Crimson Demon Lord echoed in Yu Zhun’s mind.

“Hehehe~”

“Boy, I knew you wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.”

“Listen, conquer this damn dungeon, and all the grudges between you and me will be wiped out!”

“Also, be careful of the [Civilization Reconstruction Department]!”

The feeling of dizziness disappeared along with the other party’s voice. If Yu Zhun had not remained conscious, he would even have thought that it was his own hallucination.

Crimson Lord…

What does He mean by this?
The other party deliberately left a means at the entrance to trigger it when he arrived. Could it be that this copy was waiting for him?

After completing this hidden dungeon, the grudges between him and me are written off, which means…

Does the guy who was punished this time have a grudge against Him?

in addition…

The other party finally mentioned to “be careful of the [Ministry of Civilization Reconstruction]”.

If the Crimson Demon Lord really has a grudge against the existence corresponding to this copy and really wants me to conquer this copy, then this may be a very important hint.

However, Yu Zhun had to consider whether this old guy would pretend to have a grudge against the existence corresponding to the copy and use this hint to trick him.

After all, it is well known that the Crimson Demon Lord is shameless.

No matter what, the Crimson Demon Lord’s renewed intervention did cause a ripple in Yu Zhun’s originally calm heart.

Shaking his head, Yu Zhun forced himself to calm down and look at the lines of text appearing in front of him.

【Welcome to the special copy: Lone Star of Heaven (3A)】

[The copy rules are as follows:]

[1. All rewards in the dungeon are settled immediately]

[2. Death in a dungeon is considered death in the divinely inspired world]

[3. Assisting in achieving the goals of the Lone Star Project will be considered a perfect clearance]

[4. There is a 24-fold time difference inside and outside the dungeon. The strategy is limited to 24 hours. If you exceed the time limit, it will be considered a strategy failure and you will be forced to leave the dungeon.]

[I wish to be a lone star in the deep sky, retaining the last ray of fire! ]

His eyes fixed on the last sentence for a moment, and Yu Zhun’s attention shifted to himself at the moment.

He was wearing a white singlet that was completely different from the one he wore when he came in, and was lying on a bed that was one meter wide and two meters long.

There is not much space around, with only a bedside table, a table and a very small wardrobe. The total area is only about five or six square meters.

Yu Zhun had experienced a similar situation during the first level trial.

It was a role-playing copy, and Yu Zhun needed to play the identity of another person.

But the [Tianming Guxing] copy is different.

Here, Yu Zhun has to play himself.

Sitting up, Yu Zhun picked up an extremely conspicuous note from the bedside table beside him.

[Dear [Hibernation Inspection Department] member Yu Zhun, it is now 932 years after the birth of the [Lone Star Project]. You have awakened from hibernation and become a member of the [Lone Star Project], joining this long and unknown journey of survival]

[As a member of the hibernation inspection team, your task is to check whether the hibernation equipment distributed throughout the Lone Star spacecraft is working properly. Your other compatriots are sleeping in them. They can only wake up at the preset time, not now. This is an extremely important task.]

[On the Lone Star spacecraft, please follow the following rules to ensure your own and others’ safety, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences]

[1. The dormitory is a private area. No one can enter your dormitory without your permission. It is absolutely safe here]

[2. The Lone Star is a craft with a highly defined division of labor. Everyone has their own duties to perform. In order to avoid causing trouble to others’ work, please always wear your uniform and inspection glasses anywhere outside the dormitory.]

[3. If you encounter someone who is not in uniform, do not approach or communicate with them. Keep your distance and immediately find the nearest [Security Department] personnel on duty to report the situation.]

[4. Please strictly follow the prescribed schedule and route for inspection. Do not be late or leave early, and do not leave the prescribed route during the inspection.]

[5. During the inspection, if you find a dormant device with abnormal working status, please report the situation to the [Security Department] and [Technical Maintenance Department], and immediately end the inspection and return to the dormitory]

[6. To ensure safety, two inspectors will be assigned to conduct each inspection together. Please do not leave your partner. If you find that your partner is not around, please wait for him/her to return.]

[7. You are free to move around the Lone Star during the time outside of the inspection. However, do not enter the area marked by red lines during non-inspection time. If you accidentally enter, please return to your dormitory as quickly as possible and do not leave the dormitory afterwards.]

[8. At a fixed time every day, a staff from the [Technical Maintenance Department] will come to maintain your inspection glasses. This is related to your inspection safety. Please make sure you are in the dormitory when they come to your door]

[9. You can only eat in the cafeteria during fixed meal times. The [Logistics Support Department] members will prepare nutritionally balanced food for you. Although they may not look delicious, be sure not to waste them.]

[10. The [Civilization Reconstruction Department] does not exist in the Lone Star. If someone claiming to be from the [Civilization Reconstruction Department] invites you to visit their department, please refuse the invitation.]

[Follow the above rules and you will be able to enjoy a pleasant space journey before the next hibernation]

“Sleeping Inspection Department…” Yu Zhun rubbed his brows, and while quickly memorizing all the rules on the note, he looked thoughtful.

According to known information, this world’s mother planet [Tianming Star] was invaded by unknown creatures that feed on humans a long time ago. Humans were unable to resist and the world fell into ruins.

In order to continue their own civilization, humans gathered all their resources to build a space survival ship, the Lone Star, which contains a large number of hibernation devices and frozen human embryos, in an effort to find another home suitable for survival and rekindle the fire of civilization there.

This is the Lone Star Project.

According to the rules of the dungeon, the way to achieve a perfect clearance is to help the Lone Star find a new home within 24 hours.

Although it is ridiculous to find a home that has not been found for the past 932 years within 24 hours, the copy was destined to have a solution from the moment it appeared, so if Yu Zhun guessed correctly, at the current node, the Lone Star will be able to find a new home within 24 hours.

There are five departments inside the [Lone Star], namely [Hibernation Inspection Department], [Logistics Support Department], [Technical Maintenance Department], [Detection and Driving Department] and [Security Protection Department].

There is also Schrödinger’s [Ministry of Civilization Reconstruction], which we will not mention for now.

After the attacking team enters the dungeon, they will be evenly distributed to different departments, and members of different departments need to abide by different rules.

This is why a raid copy requires at least 5 people.

According to previous copy data, the [Hibernation Inspection Department] where Yu Zhun is currently located has the largest range of activities among the five departments and can operate in most areas of the spacecraft.

But this is also the most dangerous sector.

　I chose the Rule Strange Talk because one reader mentioned this when I was soliciting readers’ opinions on the dungeon issue. Actually, I don’t know whether you are interested in this kind of dungeon with long paragraphs of text rules. This is my first time to contact it. I consulted several experienced authors and made a lot of preparations before I started writing with trepidation. If you are not too interested, you can skip this dungeon. If many people skip it, I will write about other types later.
