Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

Alliance trading house.

"The information counter for the Heavenly Ladder instance is on the sixth floor. Please follow me." Belle led Lin Hui and Jiang Qingyan up a spiral staircase of beams of light.

As she led the way, she explained:

"In the player star system, the ladder dungeon is of paramount importance for all players' survival."

"Every so often, players will be forced into the ladder dungeon, and if they fail, they will be stuck in the dungeon forever."

"In addition, the time interval for players of different skill levels to enter the dungeon is different."

"For example, for players with a score below 500, the mandatory missions are performed once a month, usually at 12 noon on the 1st of each month."

As Bailey explained the knowledge about the ladder dungeon, Lin Hui nodded slightly.

Six days later, on the 1st, was the time the system would notify him to enter the ladder instance.

As they spoke, the three of them had already arrived at the sixth floor.

They arrived at a counter with a holographic projection of the "Heavenly Ladder Dungeon Information Center" hanging on it.

However, to Lin Hui and Jiang Qingyan's surprise, there were many players at the counter next door, but not a single player at this counter.

Jiang Qingyan asked with some confusion, "Little sister Belle, why is it so deserted here?"

Bailey shrugged helplessly and explained, "Because the price-performance ratio is just too low!"

"Low cost-effectiveness?" Jiang Qingyan was even more confused. "What cost-effectiveness can there be for something that can save a life?"

Bailey looked at Jiang Qingyan and slowly said:

"Survival games have evolved to the point where the number of instances is countless. Even our human alliance couldn't possibly gather information on all of them. What we have is just the tip of the iceberg."

"In addition, the price of duplicate information is extremely high."

"Take your current rank below 100, for example. The most basic [Normal] dungeon information costs 50 Star Coins per piece. [Hard] costs 200 million Star Coins. And [Nightmare]... a single piece of information costs a whopping 1000 million Star Coins!"

Jiang Qingyan gasped.

1000 million Star Coins for a piece of intelligence that you might never even come across? That's outrageous!

Bailey sighed and continued:

"The draw for each ladder dungeon is completely random. In other words, even if you're a whale and spend tens of millions to buy dozens of intelligence reports, the probability of you being randomly drawn into the very same dungeon you bought intelligence for the next time you enter is... very low!"

"Most players are already strapped for cash. Wouldn't it be better to use those millions or tens of millions of Star Coins to buy powerful weapons, potions, items, or mechs?"

"Therefore, generally speaking, information about the ladder dungeons is a perk for major guilds. Guild members can get dungeon information for free by making contributions."

Lin Hui listened and nodded in agreement.

Good steel should be used where it counts. For ordinary players, improving their hard skills is indeed much more reliable than blindly guessing the exam questions.

Bailey seemed to have thought of something and added:

"And the most important point is that each instance is dynamically changing. Even for the same instance, the information from the previous group of players does not represent the current situation."

"Of course," Bailey said, changing the subject. "As long as it's purchased from the Alliance Trading Company, the intelligence is guaranteed to be the latest version. That's a reliable guarantee."

The reason why the information on dungeons that Bailey bought herself was so cheap was because her versions were outdated, some even more than ten years old, so occasional accidents would occur.

But having intelligence is better than having no intelligence!

After all, her dungeon information is much cheaper than the Alliance's!

Listening to Bailey's explanation, Jiang Qingyan nodded and asked, "Can I resell the information I bought here to other players?"

Bailey shook her head and said, "No, that won't work."

"Purchasing information about the ladder instance requires signing a confidentiality agreement. The agreement contains explicit and mandatory provisions that it is absolutely forbidden to disclose this information to a second person in any form."

"These agreements were signed by Lord Afar, the Fifth Seat, and are therefore legally binding."

Belle's eyes were filled with awe. "Unless... your rank is higher than Lord Afar's, you cannot violate the agreement and contract."

"A contract set up by a demigod..." Jiang Qingyan nodded thoughtfully.

Lin Hui stood to the side, but a barely perceptible glint flashed in his deep eyes.

A rank higher than demigod?

In the real world, I am subservient to demigods.

But once I'm in another dimension, let alone demigods, even gods would have to call me dad!

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, Lin Hui asked in a deep voice:

"Belly, could you check this for me? How many dungeons below 100 points, on Hard and Nightmare difficulty, are listed in your database?"

The danger levels of the Ladder dungeon missions are divided into three categories: Normal, Hard, and Nightmare.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Bailey's fair fingers flew across the terminal device, and countless streams of colorful data flashed across the holographic projection.

A few seconds later, Bailey looked up and gave a precise number:

"Found it. Below 100 points, there are a total of 806563 difficult dungeons; Nightmare dungeons... 32."

There are over 800,000 difficult-level dungeons?!

Upon hearing this number, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Hui's eyes.

But on second thought, the player star domain has existed for tens of thousands of years, and countless players have flocked in like a swarm of locusts. Over time, it's not surprising that there are more than 800,000 difficult-level dungeons.

As for the number of normal-level dungeons, it is probably already an astronomical number that cannot be counted.

Lin Hui found it quite reasonable that there were only 32 Nightmare-level dungeons.

After all, only players who survived the dungeon can provide information about it. He had experienced many nightmare-level dungeons and knew how difficult they were.
