Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 541 (Part 2)
"Alright, everyone's here, let's go into the instance. Do you have a raid leader? I'll pass this on to the raid leader!"

Wu Tong asked with a delighted expression.

She hadn't expected to gather so many big shots. She had only wanted to farm some event points to try her luck at winning a house. She was prepared to buy one privately if she didn't win. If the probability was really 0.5%, there would be quite a few people who won. Some people wouldn't want it, or couldn't afford the various taxes and would prefer to resell it for cash. She could just buy one herself!

No, we could buy a few more sets; they could serve as dormitories for the employees of Wutong Interactive Entertainment...

Wu Tong was already calculating in his mind that the team had unanimously elected [Jade Emperor] as the team leader.

In the team, although there were quite a few experienced commanders, the Emperor confidently volunteered, and others were too embarrassed to compete with him. The Emperor's good reputation was still very useful at this time. As long as they were veteran players, ten out of ten had gotten his explosives for free or hitched a ride on his mission vehicle, so everyone was willing to give the Emperor face.

"Ahem! Since the boss trusts me, I'll have to try it out by sneaking a few coins first!"

[Jade Emperor] had just switched his microphone to raid leader mode, cleared his throat, and was the first to enter the cooldown of the [Endless Ruins] dungeon.

Because all dungeons in the game "Ten Continents Chronicles" have completely random monster spawns, the saying that you have to rely on superstition to gamble on dungeon cooldowns has always been popular in the game. However, unlike other MMO games, in "Ten Continents Chronicles", you not only gamble on drops, but also on the difficulty of the BOSS.

If you happen to encounter a boss that isn't too difficult, that would be like winning the lottery!
In the team chat, the group of employees strongly condemned the Emperor's behavior, making sarcastic remarks: "Wow! Shameless Emperor! He actually wouldn't let the boss make a profit!"

"Your Majesty, how could you have the illusion that you're so popular?"

"Deduct his salary!"

"If the goods don't ship, make the Emperor do a handstand and apologize by having diarrhea!"

"Goodness, isn't that Dog Bro's exclusive style?"

"They're famous best buddies, they could easily create a stand-in fiction story!"

[The Jade Emperor] chuckled in the group chat, proudly boasting, "Too late! I've already finished the game! Hurry up and get in! Stop talking nonsense!"

"Dog Emperor! Take your life!"

"What's that saying again? The Blue Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise!"

"The year is Jiazi! Great fortune for the world! We will overthrow the feudal empire! We will defeat the Jade Emperor!"

"This is tough! Even Monkey King couldn't do this!"

In the team chat, the banter continued unabated. [Jade Emperor], who was already getting impatient waiting at the dungeon entrance, urged, "Get ready! Stop the trash talk! Everyone, make sure you have all your potions ready. I've prepared some special food from Old Cat's place. If you don't have any prepared, you can ask me for some!"

One player also started advertising in the team chat: "I've stockpiled a lot of [Speed ​​Water]! 200 copper coins a bottle, contact me if you want some!"

"Wow! That's outrageous! The price has doubled!" "You can just go out and buy it yourself! This water is super hard to get right now!"

……

After about ten minutes of fumbling, the group finally entered the dungeon, having consumed a ton of special potions and food, and were now fully prepared. The [Jade Emperor] then excitedly began giving commands—

"Team One, explore outwards first. Team Seven, the array cultivators, prepare for the trapping formation. Do you know the Mountain Sinking Formation? Either the Mountain Sinking Formation or the True Fire Formation will do! Teams Four and Five, the magic cultivators and talisman cultivators, protect the logistics. Weapon cultivators, hide for now, just in case! Teams Two and Three, the body cultivators and the hundred soldiers, go first. If there are monsters, don't let the BOSS get your backside..."

"And boss, I'll transfer you to team ten. You can pick a good spot to enjoy an immersive 3D fantasy movie, right? Just make sure you don't die!"

With the Jade Emperor's incessant instructions, the fifty people moved about in an orderly manner. A small team of players, led by Jie Ran, took the lead and dispersed outwards to explore the environment of the entire instance and unlock the fog in the map.

It's common knowledge that the maps in the [Endless Ruins] dungeon aren't very large.

Because almost all the dungeon maps have been replicated in a third-party toolbox—a completely open and free virtual reality toolbox created by a team of top players, which includes replicas of all the dungeon maps that have appeared in "Ten Continents Chronicles" to date.

This technology is not difficult. With AI being quite mature today, all you need to do is scan the live stream recordings or screen recordings of the game "Ten Continents Chronicles" from multiple angles to generate the corresponding maps. After that, you only need to make minor adjustments and upload them to the toolbox.

The experts even created some bosses that simulated the "skills" and "effects" of bosses in various dungeons of "Ten Continents Chronicles". However, compared to the so-called pure AI natural calculation, the replica bosses in the toolbox still seem much more rigid, and the release of skills is too formulaic.

Even so, this toolbox received unanimous praise from all players, and many unlucky cloud players who hadn't yet won a lottery number also downloaded the toolbox and occasionally went in to have some fun.

Of course, the toolbox only contains a map and a limited number of monsters; it doesn't contain any of the actual gameplay of "Ten Continents Chronicles." Even the official "Ten Continents Chronicles" team only uses it as a tool. They mentioned in an announcement that they even rewarded the few big shots who made the toolbox with tens of thousands of yuan each, which aroused envy on the forum.

During this dungeon run, as a "scout," [孑然] subconsciously started recording the screen as he flew northwest.

So far, this instance seems unremarkable. The distant mountains are barren, devoid of any greenery. The land is the characteristic grayish-brown of the [Endless Ruins] instance, covered entirely in rubble and sand, with occasional scattered skeletons—not human, nor dragon bones, and it's impossible to tell what kind of animal they are; they might be extraterrestrial demons wandering in from the Ruins.

Although most of the extraterrestrial demons and the Nine Netherworld demons at Guixu Pass originate from the same source and leave no remains, some of the strange beasts, although they are also called "extraterrestrial demons" because they wandered in from Guixu Pass, are not considered demons. Instead, they are more like strange beasts from the Guixu Realm.

These strange beasts have bizarre appearances, some possessing considerable intelligence, but most are extremely ferocious and difficult to communicate with. However, because they are flesh and blood, unlike the Nine Nether Demons which are poisonous, they are relatively easier to deal with, and they leave behind corpses when they die.

There are quite a lot of skeletons in this instance, and unlike the instance where Nietzsche and his companions encountered last time, which was full of human bones, the bones in this instance are not human, making it look particularly eerie.

【孑然】flew for a short while, then hovered in the air on the wind.

Because he suddenly saw a sleeping giant beast.

A sleeping behemoth, as large as a mountain.
