I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Chapter 165 Heading Towards the Outer City (4K)

"It seems to be... a strategy guide ranking list?"

Someone murmured.

At this time, the Eye Group is ranked first on the leaderboard, but their record doesn't seem very strong.

Some members had already gathered intelligence and knew that there were 50 fake humans and 6 extraordinary fake humans inside the instance.

They knew the Pupil Clan couldn't clear the dungeon, but they had previously thought the Pupil Clan would be defeated by the extraordinary pseudo-humans. Now it seemed that they couldn't even get past the earlier levels.

Or did you accidentally provoke a pseudo-superhuman?

Many of the members waiting outside the instance were looking for a challenge and were waiting to find out what was going on from Li Wei's team.

Li Wei didn't hide anything. He said, "This instance isn't that simple. Admittedly, the pseudo-humans inside don't possess intelligence, and as long as they don't cross the boundary, they won't provoke monsters from other areas, but—"

"But the pseudo-human monsters inside are quite powerful. There are quite a few elite-level and even leader-level monsters. Sometimes we have to face two or even three leader-level monsters. Moreover, these pseudo-human monsters have diverse abilities and are not as rigid as ordinary monsters."

Their team was defeated by the three leader-level monsters.

If it really came down to a fight to the death, they might have a chance to kill the three leaders, but Li Wei hadn't forgotten that this was a dungeon—they were doing dungeons for training and making money.

There have indeed been gains.

Even disregarding the cost of healing potions and dungeon tickets, they could still earn dozens of Dream Crystals this time—and that's assuming their strength isn't high enough.

If they were to go to the Nightmare World outside, they would certainly have the opportunity to hunt down leader-level monsters, but the initial exploration and reconnaissance would take a lot of effort, and they would also have to take a lot of risks when they were about to kill a leader-level monster.

Nightmare worlds are fraught with danger; they're nowhere near as stable and safe as dungeons.

But then again, while the nightmare world is dangerous, it may also present great opportunities, allowing one to rise to the top in one step.

Therefore, Li Wei chose to have both.

"Tomorrow we'll challenge the dungeon again. If our team can improve even further and produce a second or third strong player who can engage in a bizarre battle with the boss, then our rewards will at least double."

After learning about the dungeon from Li Wei, many teams backed out.

After all, the difficulty of the pseudo-human dungeon is still too high for most members who are only at the first level of the Refinement Realm.

-

Currently, among the members of the safe zone, those at the third level of the Refinement Realm are still a minority. If you exclude the captains of the Countermeasures Bureau, there are even fewer.

Currently, only top-tier teams in the safe zone are qualified to attempt the dungeon.

And soon, a second and third team did indeed enter the instance.

"They're here! It's Xuanjian's team!"

"And then there's Xi Xue's team—the core members of both teams come from large organizations and are incredibly powerful!"

That's what some people say.

Although the number of civilian Dreamers among the members of the safe zone is increasing, even accounting for the majority, the strong civilians have to admit that the top combat power among the members is basically from major forces.

Just like the first batch of six senior members, Li Wei and Lao Wang, two dreamers from humble backgrounds, were among the weakest—

Oh, there's also Instructor Jiang among the veteran members, but Instructor Jiang isn't a combatant, so he can be excluded.

In addition to these two teams, some individual members who are also skilled have formed a group of ten and are also trying to enter the game to complete the strategy.

Without exception, all of these strategy teams have at least a Level 3 Refinement Realm expert or a Level 3 Refinement Realm combat power leading the team.

Before long, the names of the second, third, fourth, and so on raid teams appeared one after another on the stone tablet next to the dungeon.

Li Wei's team has been pushed to the back.

However, the team ranked first was neither Xuanjian's team nor Xixue's team.

Instead—

"Shop Staff Team"

"Captains: Luo Susu, Wu Feng, Fa Gui, Lin Xiao, Yang Linna, ————"

The members were initially surprised that the Xuanjian master had actually lost.

Immediately after seeing the team roster, they exclaimed in surprise, "That's not surprising at all!"

Wu Feng and his ilk are not well-known, but members who have been to the Lighthouse Camp know that he is a powerful captain-level expert at the peak of the Third Refinement Realm.

Luo Susu is also a captain-level powerhouse, and now she is in charge of the infirmary in the store.

The other captains were not weak either; the weakest among them were all at the second level of the Refinement Realm.

Their squad advanced to the front of the superhuman fake man.

"Extraordinary and bizarre, terrifying beyond belief!"

Luo Susu exclaimed, "But the only place where we, with our mortal bodies, have the opportunity to confront the extraordinary, and even exchange a few blows with them, is here."

Having gone through this ordeal, she felt more confident about passing the extraordinary ritual.

the other side.

When Yan Xiangtian pushed open the door and entered the safe zone, the hall was already bustling with noise.

Similar to their last visit, this time they preferred to explore the store first.

Yan Xiangtian had never properly explored the safe zone.

However, he believed he knew the safe zone quite well.

He said, "The most popular place in the safe zone is the training ground. It is said that the training ground has the effect of reducing the negative effects of spells, and many newcomers have quickly gotten rid of the awkward situation of the newbie period by taking advantage of the wonders of the training ground."

The rookie period is indeed very awkward.

To be precise, from the borrowing period to the integration period and even the control period, the dreamers are relatively weak and unable to resist.

It's bizarre; its ability to withstand risks in the nightmare world is extremely low.

Only a very small number of people can withstand the strange control period.

Upon hearing this, Director Zhou and Chief Wang immediately understood the immense importance of the training ground.

Even if it has no effect on high-level Dream Fallers.

"Director Yan, shall we give it a try?"

"You can try, but don't call me Director Yan, keep a low profile."

As the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau, it was already inappropriate for him to obtain a membership; if people were to see him at the training ground—he would lose face.

There are new recruit benefits at the training ground now, so theoretically the three of them don't need to wait in line.

But Yan and his two companions were ultimately not thick-skinned enough, and they were still willing to wait in line for a while and open their own training room.

The three of them went inside.

All three were extraordinary experts. Compared to ordinary dreamers, the extraordinary could truly control magical power and possessed exceptional perception. As soon as they entered the training room, Director Yan and the other two sensed a subtle change.

It's hard to describe, but it definitely exists.

Director Zhou took out an ordinary cursed object, activated it, and carefully sensed its power.

"This is incredible, this is incredible!"

"etc----"

He suddenly discovered a blind spot, so he simply discarded the cursed object and directly activated his innate talent.

After a while, Director Zhou first frowned, then looked serious as if he was carefully comprehending something. After a moment, he suddenly realized.

In just over ten seconds, Director Zhou's expression changed three times.

"This training ground—"

"It can significantly enhance our control over magical power!"

Captain Wang exclaimed, "With the increased control over spell power, it becomes easier for us to use spells. In fact, we now have the opportunity to use some advanced spells that we were previously unfamiliar with or unable to use."

It was as if divine intervention had been provided!

The two looked at Director Yan.

"Old Yan, you didn't tell me about this miraculous thing in the training ground? And you even said it only works on low-level Dream Fallers?"

Although, for them, the training ground could hardly be called a sacred place of cultivation.

But it works!

It's extremely rare to find something useful! There are only a handful of places in this world that can help extraordinary individuals cultivate.

Director Zhou and Chief Wang exchanged a glance, their resolve hardening.

Afterwards, under Yan Xiangtian's guidance, the two experienced several places, including the hotel and the spell library, and even had a meal at the Purgatory Canteen.

These kinds of enhanced dishes can be made by local countermeasures bureaus, but they are not easy to make.

The safe zone, however, can consistently and abundantly produce products; that's the difference.

"It's not just these places; the biggest advantage of the safe zone is the ability to exchange resources!"

Director Zhou was browsing the forums and trading sections of the safe zone.

He saw that even rare cursed items were being sold in large quantities, something unimaginable elsewhere.

-

Forget the black market, even the official trading market, and even the internal exchange platform of the Countermeasures Bureau, you might not find this many rare cursed items.

No wonder the Dreamers were able to make rapid progress once they entered the safe zone.

With so many excellent training grounds and so many experienced elders who selflessly share their knowledge and skills, how could newcomers not progress quickly?

After discreetly exploring the entire safe zone, the three went to the front desk to identify themselves and visit the store manager.

This is my second visit.

Yan Xiangtian, on behalf of the Countermeasures Bureau and all the people of Baijiang City, expressed his gratitude and stated that the Countermeasures Bureau would provide full support should the safe zone have any needs.

He originally thought that this time, Director Zhou and Chief Wang would just go through the motions, just like last time.

At most, one could take this opportunity to get a membership card, but that card might not be valid in Lin Dong City or Chong Shan City.

Unexpectedly, Director Zhou suddenly spoke up: "Manager, if—if we want the safe zone to cover our Lin Dong City, what conditions are required?"

Captain Wang added, "I also hope that the safe zone can be extended to our Chongshan City. Chongshan City can fully support it."

Yan Xiangtian: "???"

He thought that Director Zhou and his companion had simply been curious about the safety zone because they saw that there were many powerful people in Baijiang. Little did he know that the two of them had come to poach his people!

He immediately said, "The safe zone and our Baijiang Countermeasures Bureau have a pleasant cooperation. Baijiang City is the most suitable place to settle down."

Director Zhou retorted, "Wrong, Lao Yan, you're thinking incorrectly. The safe zone isn't just for one city or one place; it's everyone's safe zone. The concept of the safe zone is to protect humanity and conquer nightmares."

Yan Xiangtian was speechless.

The safe zone definitely doesn't belong to Baijiang.

At this moment, Manager Shi pondered for a while and then said, "Lin Dong and Chong Shan are quite far from here, so connecting the safe zone to them won't be easy."

Director Zhou and Chief Wang's eyes lit up.

Not easy? That means there's a way!

Where there's a will, there's a way. Before they came, they had prepared for the worst-case scenario: the safe zone could only cover Baijiang City.

Director Zhou said, "If the store manager has any difficulties, please feel free to tell us. We at Lin Dongcheng will definitely provide our full support."

Team Leader Wang: "So are we."

Shi An pondered for a few seconds.

He already had the idea of ​​extending the safe zone to the other two cities.

With the local countermeasures bureau taking the lead, this is the perfect solution.

Even so, the terms still need to be discussed. After all, he was going to the safe zone to deliver benefits, so he felt justified in discussing the terms.

Shi An said, "To connect the safe zone to it, we first need to establish four to six transit camps deep in the nightmare."

To be frank, the selection of a site for the camp, the materials used, and the subsequent personnel maintenance are all difficult aspects.

After listening, Director Zhou pondered for a moment.

He was originally preparing to cut the conditions again as was his habit, but then he suddenly thought, what if he cut the safe zone away?

Now they're begging the store manager to install the safety zone there.

He had originally planned to invest heavily in the security area to share some of the operating costs, but now? The conditions set by the store manager are not easy to meet, but they are already much higher than he expected.

If he can bring the safe zone into Lindong City, it will be a great achievement for him!

Director Zhou said, "Okay, I agree! As for the campsite location, there are several suitable areas for building a camp on the route map we drew in Lindong City. We can provide all the materials and personnel for maintenance."

After a moment of hesitation, Captain Wang replied, "We are too."

Director Zhou even took out a map on the spot and circled several areas.

This map was just updated last month, so it's quite reliable.

Shi An also stated, "I can start construction in my safe zone within a week."

Director Zhou and Chief Wang were in a hurry.

Actually, he was in a hurry.

However, it would take time for Director Zhou and his colleague to return to their respective cities, and it would also take time for him to send members to explore and plan for several areas.

To truly connect the two cities, Shi An estimated it would take at least ten days.

That's already very fast.

Yan Xiangtian breathed a sigh of relief. At least, the safe zone still covered Baijiang.

"Perhaps one day, the safe zone can become a safe zone for all of humanity?"

He shook his head and chuckled, realizing that his idea was far too exaggerated.

The three quickly registered as members.

Yan Xiangtian had mixed feelings when he received the membership card.

Director Zhou and Chief Wang were perfectly justified in taking it; they wanted to bring the safe zone into their hometown, so a membership that would help them enter and exit the safe zone was something they had to get, whether they wanted to or not.

After registering for membership, the three turned their attention to a corner of the garden outside the lobby.

They've been in the safe zone for more than ten hours, so they've naturally heard about the "fake human instance."

Team Leader Wang suggested, "How about the three of us try this dungeon?"

Yan Xiangtian hesitated.

Director Zhou said, "Since we're already here..."

Yan Xiangtian: "————That works too."

The dungeon runs will be recorded, but Lao Zhou and Lao Wang are both representatives of the countermeasures bureaus of their respective cities, and both are deputy bureau-level officials. There is more than one person like him.

-

They walked towards the dungeon entrance.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out from there.

"Wait, the top spot on the dungeon leaderboard has changed! The team leader is—is it Ms. Luo? Who is this?"

"Hiss! Isn't this the third seat of the Wizarding Family? A big shot standing at the top of White River City."

Yan Xiangtian spotted a familiar name on the list.

Ms. Luo, in a gray robe.

He suddenly realized: "Let's go, let's take first place on the list!"
