There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 373, The Players Become More Active Leeks.

Not long after, he met Redbeard in a corner of the All-Heavens Trading Zone.

Two powerful individuals, who could be considered strong in all the worlds, sat on the ground without any regard for their image.

Redbeard was still covered in blood, his armor was tattered and patched with many large and small patches, and the indelible smell of sulfur seemed to penetrate every inch of his body, extremely pungent.

Clearly, Redbeard has fought more than one match recently.

However, Xiao Yang wasn't much better off.

If it weren't for the fact that the Glimmer Advancer's professional level had improved and the balance had been restored, he would likely be in a state where he no longer appears human.

There was no more polite conversation between the two.

"Brother!"

"Big brother!"

A big hug with a smile.

After a simple greeting, we proceeded directly with the expected procedures.

"Happy times are about to begin!"

………….

In the dream of the world.

Xiao Yang gradually figured out the layout of this large dungeon.

A dungeon corrupted by the abyss, a group of nature spirits, and a special unit.

It appears to be a battle between opposing factions.

The demons are setting the forest ablaze and corrupting it, while these spirits of nature, along with that special unit, are saving it.

Through the players' eyes, Xiao Yang saw the special unit surrounded by the spirits of nature, which was also one of the core elements of this large dungeon.

A large elf carrying a gardening shovel and dressed in a drab gray gardener's outfit.

It is a larger version of a nature sprite, more similar to the noisy little creatures that Xiao Yang encountered during his last rescue mission, but larger, making it an upgraded version.

Before Xiao Yang invested in the extraordinary players.

In this dungeon, the abyssal demons undoubtedly held the upper hand.

After Xiao Yang invested in the extraordinary player.

In this dungeon, the abyssal demons still held the upper hand.

"Um……."

It seems like nothing has changed, which is frustrating, but that's the reality, despite these guys' constant antics in the forest.

They found the true way to unlock their career potential.

It's not necessarily for fighting, but for construction.

In fact, most of the extraordinary players in this version are engaged in production professions obtained from the City of Hope.

[Strongman]

This is often used for bricklaying in the City of Hope.

【Dancing Rock People】

This is used for building walls.

[Long-distance running champion]

This is used for errands.

These professions might be barely adequate for combat, but they are absolutely professional when it comes to digging holes, building walls, and carrying things.

The art style gradually became strange.

They dug trenches, built fortresses, handcrafted large machinery on the spot, and cleared the fields by cutting down trees.

With this formation, the players managed to force the demons into a series of retreats.

However, Xiao Yang, who had figured out a bit about this strange dungeon, was quite clear about it.

"The chances of players conquering this dungeon on their own are virtually zero."

In the Forestgrad Front.

The spirits of nature were placed on towering watchtowers, serving as artillery emplacements. Fortresses were erected, displaying menacing crossbows. In the crisscrossing trenches, players stood ready for battle.

A massive horde of abyssal demons swarmed out of the forest area, which had been reduced to a scorched, black wasteland. They had no formation; they simply brandished their weapons and shouted wildly before pressing forward in a chaotic mass.

The watchtower, built at the center by the spirits of nature, fired the first shot.

These spirit towers of nature were placed at the very end of this position.

At this moment, they opened fire.

The spirits of nature are a special kind of spirit, similar to little elves, but at a much lower level. They often appear in animal form, and some are simply large, colorful orbs of light.

They possess a wide variety of spell-like abilities.

First came a variety of attack spells flying around haphazardly, then some random area spells, and finally, the most useful buff spells.

the effect is not very good.

Strictly speaking...

"These natural spirits are positioned as mascots."

Xiao Yang has assigned tasks to the players.

The more nature spirits players protect, the better the rewards they will receive when they conquer this dungeon.

This is the first time this has happened since the game's launch.

It's worth noting that since its launch, Tidefall Games has been most famous for having no new player guide, no quest prompts, and no reward system—these three "no's."

Now, not only is dungeon exploration open, but there are also group rewards after the dungeon exploration is completed.

The players were desperate for the rewards.

At least for now, equipment is extremely valuable in this fading game.

The number of players in the game "Tidefall" recently surpassed 30,000 and has stabilized at that number.

This number isn't large, compared to the total population of the 33214 planes, but it has already genuinely attracted the attention of those qualified in the real world.

“Nation, company, association, family, individual”.

A lot of attention is focused on the ebb tide game.

It shouldn't have attracted so much attention all at once, but the original intention of the game was to absorb extraordinary elements from the real world and isolate it from pollution.

Even before the Tidefall Game was established, extraordinary beings had already begun to appear in plane 33214.

According to a certain law: "Those who are easily corrupted are not necessarily extraordinary, but extraordinary individuals are certainly more easily corrupted."

These extraordinary individuals, who already attracted a lot of attention, were almost entirely crammed into the Rotten Land to play games.

They were even among the very first closed beta testers.

This was not a good thing; a tragedy ensued.

As one of the first players to land, although they are superhumans, they can even use their superhuman abilities in the game.

But frankly speaking, that extraordinary level, placed in the Land of Decay...

"Even eating while lying on the ground is a struggle."

That is, they are only slightly better than ordinary people, and even more likely to be targeted by monsters roaming the wilderness.

"After all, it has a bit of an extraordinary quality, and it's barely worth eating."

Xiao Yang almost achieved another world-shaking feat. In just a few days, most of the extraordinary individuals in the real world had perished.

Among them, the heroes on the other side of the ocean suffered the most tragic fate.

Having awakened superpowers, under the leadership of the president, the entire country began to open up to extraordinary opportunities, and one by one, people were turned into heroes, appearing in advertisements, TV shows, becoming stars, and making movies.

Become a superior person, and your future will be bright.

Then I was dragged into this drab, gray world to play games.

As extraordinary individuals, they are not without additional privileges.

Their biggest privilege was that their game access was locked.

Their souls are special, attracting pollution. Awakening abilities are like bait; they are the main targets of observation. Even if they refuse the invitation of the extraordinary game, when the tide surges, those bizarre dreams will still come to them.

In just a few days, at least half of the heroes went insane, and some even became vegetative.

The extraordinary beings were originally the children of the version before the Tide game appeared.

Unfortunately, their version ended too quickly.

With their groundwork laid, the ebb tide game immediately attracted attention from all sides upon its debut.

In order to seize the initiative.

"Money is the first step."

Nowadays, even the most ordinary white-grade equipment can fetch prices in the millions or tens of millions.

Not only that.

"Then comes the matter of filling the gaps in status."

Once you become a player in the game, choosing to join one of the various factions can drastically change your life.

Xiao Yang originally left a major exit mechanism for ordinary people, so that they would voluntarily leave after feeling fear.

But now, things have changed somewhat.

"These temptations are precisely the ones that ordinary people find hardest to resist."

"On the contrary, those extraordinary individuals avoid the Tide Game like the plague, wishing they could cut it off on the spot."

However, such a big change is not only due to the readily available status, class, and large sums of money in the real world.

Furthermore, the mechanism for increasing the number of resurrections has been figured out.

"Players' resurrection count can be increased."

However, this isn't a game mechanic; it's just a very simple principle.

"They wandered through the rotten lands without going mad, witnessing all sorts of bizarre and wondrous sights without going mad. Their souls were tempered and strengthened, allowing them to be sliced ​​into more pieces and increasing their chances of resurrection."

"They roamed the land of decay, without going mad, taking up professions, their souls were tempered by the power of corruption, without going mad, becoming more resilient, able to be sliced ​​into more pieces, and their resurrection count increased."

What appears to be an increase in the number of resurrections is actually that their souls have become more resilient.

Originally, I could only cut three slices, but now I can cut four or five slices.

It's hard to describe the situation, but the discovery of this event made these players even more excited. It also boosted their exploration of the Decaying Lands, their work for Xiao Yang, and their provision of backup hidden energy for the Tidefall game.

They became more proactive in all of these matters.

In this situation...

"The chives have sprouted on their own."

However, this situation is not solely caused by the increase in the number of resurrections.

Finally, two more points should be added.

With the expansion of the City of Hope, the surrounding wilderness has become increasingly safe, and the difficulty for beginners has decreased dramatically.

"The newcomer is not so easy to die after arriving."

With the emergence of professions, as long as you can successfully enter the City of Hope and complete the job registration, the novice period is over.

"The novice period ends quickly."

All of these factors combined have brought together at least a third of the players in the Battle of Forest Grid.

There are also ten thousand extraordinary individuals.

At this moment, they began their great battle against the demons.

The demons have begun entering the trenches and fighting the players.

The fight was very intense.

There is back and forth.

The crossbow bolts being launched, the players charging towards the demons with howling cries, the fireballs streaking across the sky, and the sudden bursts of light on the battlefield.

It was a complete mess.

The players persevered.

It must be said that the power of professions, or rather the power of corruption, the power of those evil gods, even those in the production profession, cannot be considered weak.

Moreover, the large horde rushing up at this moment consisted mostly of low-level demons.

On the battlefield, players crawled out of trenches and bunkers, cheering excitedly.

They won.

Xiao Yang, on the other hand, was focused on the scene inside the large dungeon.

Change is coming.

The reason why players have almost no chance of winning is simply because of one thing.

"There's a cunning old bastard in this dungeon who has no sense of martial ethics."
