Chapter 127 Midnight Cemetery
In order to avoid suspicion from the Administration, Wu Chang did not go to the Chilang Space to match the copy, but entered the Crimson Courtyard.

Entering the Crimson Courtyard again, this time when he came to the public area, he paid extra attention to the countdown on the central lighthouse of the public area.

The time shown above is 72 days.

There are only 72 days left until the world copy opens.

There were many players coming and going in the public area, but few of them looked up and paid attention to the countdown in the sky.

After all, there is no explanation, no warning, and it is difficult to find relevant information in the forum.

Over time, everyone got used to the countdown, thinking that when the countdown was over, there would naturally be an answer.

Although the major organizations have joined forces to block the news of the world copy, some people who are sensitive to news have already sensed that something is wrong.

The closer the countdown gets, the more frequent the actions of the major organizations and the evil god's followers become. In the advanced copies of the Wilderness, you can often see the fights between the two forces, as if a silent arms race is going on.

In recent days, many players who have tasted the fun of the game have started spreading rumors such as "version update", "gameplay change", and "player competition" on the forums.

Affected by the rumors, prices in the entire wilderness began to rise sharply, with consumables and skill scrolls increasing the most.

The two skill scrolls that Wu Chang had bought before had both increased in price by at least 20%, and various recovery potions had increased in price by 30%-50%.

Especially the various low-level skill scrolls and potions, which were originally just practical props, have now become financial products. Retail investors who had previously hoarded props or raw materials have made a fortune by taking advantage of this favorable situation.

The price only goes up and never goes down, which makes almost all players participate in this big price hike. In the face of decayed silver coins, many people even can't resist the temptation and sell their life-saving recovery items to recyclers.

The entire trading market in the wilderness has fallen into madness.

If Wu Chang hadn't known in advance that the world copy after the countdown was the main part, he might have also joined in.

Passing through the busy trading area in the square, he entered the dungeon waiting area and started matching the dungeon.

「正在为玩家匹配副本,玩家等级15,副本难度匹配概率为:F级:1%;E级:5%;D级:25%;C级:60%;B级:9%;A级:0.1%。」

Looking at the matching probabilities that appeared before his eyes, especially the extra 0.1% probability of A-level copies, he knew that the game administrator had not forgiven him yet.

The difficulty of the copy matching kept jumping, and the copy difficulty kept jumping towards level A, but at the last moment before it was confirmed, under the influence of a colorful force, it unwillingly dropped to level B.

"Matching completed!"

Wu Chang's eyes flashed and he appeared in a desolate small square.

"Successfully entered the "Desolate-51503 Plane"."

"Instance name: Midnight Cemetery."

"Instance type: multiplayer survival instance."

"Dungeon Mode: Competitive Mode, damage between players is reduced by 50%."

"Instance difficulty: B."

"The official recommended minimum level for dungeon exploration is 15. Players are requested to proceed with caution."

"Instance status: on the verge of losing control!"

"Main Mission 1: Survive as a gravekeeper in the Kingdom's Great Cemetery for 30 days. Giving up your role as a gravekeeper, or failing to complete your duties as a gravekeeper for a total of three days, will be considered a failure in Main Mission 1."

"Main Mission 2: Witness the birth of at least one miracle."

"Side quest competition: When the dungeon is settled, the top three players in dungeon completion will have 5%, 10%, and 20% additional dungeon completion added to their rankings. The additional dungeon completion will increase the total completion to 90% at most, and the excess will be converted into basic dungeon rewards."

Looking at the prompt that appeared in front of him, Wu Chang's first reaction was that the Miracle Stone was quite powerful. It could actually downgrade the A-level copy that was originally randomly generated back to B-level. The effect was comparable to the bonus copy privilege.

But after seeing the official recommended minimum level for dungeon exploration, he quickly realized, Oh no, I've been PUA'd by the game administrator. How come I've been queued to a B-level dungeon that is on the verge of getting out of control, and I think I'm using the bonus dungeon privileges.

He looked at the status of the copy that was on the verge of getting out of control, and the title of Master of Breaking the Deadlock was activated.

"Current copy pollution value: 100."

"Master of Breakthrough Attribute Increase: 50%."

After the bonus from the Master of Breaking the Game, Wu Chang's current attribute panel is:

Player nickname: Doesn't eat beef.

Player Level: 15 (4460/4700)

Title: Perfectionist, master of solving problems.

Health: 54 (36) Strength: 45 (30)

Agility: 30 (20)

Endurance: 30 (20)

Energy: 45 (30)

Inspiration: 96
Will: 75
(Note: The attributes in brackets are before the Master of Breakthrough's amplification.)
Free attribute points: 0
Decayed Silver Coins: 24000.

Skills: Mamba Elbow, Firearms Use (Proficiency), Social Phobia, Advanced Stealth, Combat Basics (E).

Skills: Fragments of Thunder Magic (C), Intermediate Space Magic (D).

Items: Silver Dawn, Favor of the Goddess of Luck, Echo of the Whisperer x 1, Poison of Mortals, Rules for Rookies of the Mystic Knights, Soul-Cleansing Banner, Four-Directions Lantern of the New Year, Saint's Remains, Certificate of Pride, Healing Type I x 3, Small Recovery Potion x 2, Energy Activation Potion x 2.

Talents: salvation, evil spirit, and transformation into ocean clan.

Before entering the dungeon, he distributed all the free attribute points he had accumulated from the two dungeons, Quiet Town and Make Your Wishes Come True.

After allocating the attributes according to the requirements for the Arcane Knight's job change, he allocated all the excess attribute points to health.

After all, if you carry a powerful nurse like Irene with you, you must be strong enough to give full play to the role of the nurse. No matter how strong the nurse is, she can't nurse the fragile skin that will die at the slightest touch.

After allocating the attribute points, combined with the bonus from the Master of Breaking the Deadlock, he felt a full sense of security as he looked at the powerful values ​​on the attribute panel with no shortcomings.

Everything was ready, and other players soon appeared in the square.

Including Wu Chang, there are 9 people in total.

The matching mechanism of the Abyss game matches the difficulty of the dungeon according to the player's ability. Those who can be matched into a B-level dungeon that is on the verge of getting out of control undoubtedly have to be veterans who have experienced dozens of dungeons.

They quickly read through the dungeon requirements and began to take a defensive stance, observing the other players in the square.

Although the competitive mode essentially encourages cooperation between players, everyone wants to compete for the top three positions. Even if they are not enemies, they are rivals and must be careful.

Taking advantage of the safe time before the dungeon begins, a man dressed as a monk came out and said first:
"Although this is a competitive dungeon, please don't forget that this is a B-level dungeon that is on the verge of getting out of control. If I remember correctly, Midnight Cemetery is an extremely difficult dungeon ranked third on the B-level dungeon difficulty list. Many players who enter the dungeon set their goal from the beginning to survive rather than clear the level."

"Everyone should practice harmony and help each other first to get through the most difficult moments of the dungeon, and then think about competing for the top three."

The monk's words won the approval of the players present. He was right. In such an extremely difficult dungeon, saving life is the top priority.

What’s the point of ranking if you can’t even save your life? On the other hand, if you survive to the end and outlast all other players, you will be number one even if you don’t fight for it.

Everyone let down their guard temporarily and began to briefly introduce themselves.

The first monk who showed up was named Guangzhi, a kind and compassionate monk with strength and agility attributes. Unfortunately, the weapon he used was not a long sword, but a Vajra Zen staff.

The order of self-introduction depends largely on confidence in one's abilities.

The second person who came out to introduce himself was a fully armed player using high-tech weapons. He was wearing a tactical helmet and his appearance could not be seen clearly. All we knew was that his name was Cannon.

The third and fourth are a pair, one man and one woman, and it should be a team matching copy.

The woman is petite, but she is armed with a two-handed greatsword and wears light leather armor. She is a striker with specialties in life and strength.

The man was wearing a priest's robe and holding a thin wooden staff. He was an auxiliary mage specializing in energy.

The fifth person who stood up could be considered an acquaintance of Wu Chang. He was thin, had a bun on his head, and had two samurai swords hanging on his waist. He was the deputy leader of the Iron Armored Regiment's C-level dungeon strategy team, Zhan Gui, whom he had met in the quiet town.

Of the three brothers in the Iron Armored Regiment, he was the only one left. After being away for a few days, he entered a dungeon again and found that it was a B-level dungeon that was on the verge of getting out of control.

According to Jianxing, after Zhan Gui was released, he protested to the Administration and seemed very dissatisfied in his words.

It is not known whether the reason why Zhan Gui was continuously assigned to high-difficulty dungeons was because he had offended the game administrator like him, or because of the wish of the Miracle Stone, Zhan Gui was regarded as a hidden danger and the two of them were assigned to the same dungeon.

However, Zhan Gui also entered the dungeon with his companions. He and a tall and strong man with bare upper body walked to the center of the crowd.

The once arrogant Zhan Gui was now very low-key and no longer looked like a boss. He glanced at Wu Chang and whispered something to the burly man.

The strong man nodded after hearing this, turned around and looked at everyone, and said:

"It would be too time-consuming to introduce each of you one by one and then discuss how to cooperate. I am Lei Hu from the Ironclad Regiment. I have a suggestion. In this instance, everyone should follow my command. This will improve efficiency and avoid meaningless discussions."

"I have finished my suggestion. Who agrees and who disagrees?"
