Swallowing the Stars: Starting from the Endless Dungeon
Chapter 5 The Gap in Strength
After a few moves, seeing that Su Jing was making a bigger commotion, Owen, the strongest among them, spoke up.
"Alright, Winnie, stop fooling around. If you keep going, it'll get too loud. Let's take him out in one move."
"Okay, boss, I'll do as you say."
The next moment, more than a dozen throwing knives blocked all of Su Jing's escape routes. Before Su Jing could dodge, he was cut into dozens of pieces by the throwing knives.
In reality, Su Jing, sitting cross-legged in the spaceship's cabin, opened his eyes and frowned involuntarily.
Although I didn't actually die, the pain was very real, unlike the first time when I was instantly killed by a single blow.
This time it was chopped into minced meat, so the pain was still felt.
Su Jing sighed, "Another failure."
They couldn't even kill the weakest fifth-tier Hengxing, and that was despite being ambushed and having an equipment advantage.
Half a month had passed since he obtained the copy, and he hadn't wasted his daily chance; he had made the most of it.
From initially attempting to break the deadlock, to later finding the weakest slave and taking action against him, and then being able to predict Winnie's attack route...
It wasn't because of his exceptional combat instincts, but because he had memorized all those attack routes; they would refresh every time he entered the dungeon.
If the initial conditions remain unchanged, the opponent's moves will always be the same.
However, facing a ninth-tier Hengxing level expert was still a stretch. Winnie was just toying with him and underestimating him at first; otherwise, she could have easily killed him from the start.
He put away his sword and armor, and after half a month of experimentation,
He figured out many of the dungeon's restrictions, such as the fact that you could bring weapons in, but only weapons that you could control.
Su Jing tried to bring the bed in directly, but found that he couldn't. Then, only he could enter the instance; others couldn't.
The self within the instance is more like a mirror image, a mirror image with real feelings, and everything about it can be brought out.
It has no injuries but can feel pain.
Even if one's weapons and armor are destroyed in the game, they will be completely unharmed in reality.
This is naturally advantageous for him, greatly reducing his trial-and-error costs, since entering once would be equivalent to acquiring a complete set of armor.
He couldn't withstand such losses either.
It's a pity that after half a month, I haven't even killed a single person in the dungeon, let alone gotten any loot.
Therefore, Su Jing was even more anxious to leave Liuguang Star to find a new instance, otherwise, if he wanted to gain anything from the instance,
I need to wait until I advance another small realm before I can kill the fifth-level slaves among them.
As for the trigger conditions for the dungeon, Su Jing had summarized a little bit, but he wasn't sure if it was correct.
Since there's only one instance right now, all we can do is speculate and verify a lot.
Triggering a dungeon likely requires the player to be hostile towards them; this was the conclusion drawn from the first dungeon.
Originally, I was like a local tyrant on Flowing Star, so naturally no one dared to be hostile towards me, and therefore, no instance of me could be generated.
Owen and his group were different. Although we don't know what they were up to, they were definitely hostile, which is why the instance was created by chance.
Secondly, it needs to be within a certain range; otherwise, without a range, countless massive instances would have already been created.
After all, there are more than just one or two forces that harbor ill will towards the entire human territory; if it weren't for a certain scope, it would have been triggered long ago.
Thirdly, it's possible for copies to be generated in the virtual universe, only in the real world. Of course, this is just speculation.
After all, if it were possible in the virtual universe, he had fought in the final battle space before. If it were possible to generate instances there...
I could generate it myself a long time ago; currently, I can only deduce this much. The rest will depend on more instances appearing before I can make further inferences.
After all, all of this is based on speculation from the first instance. If the triggering of the instance is random, then all these speculations are useless.
It can only be said that this system is too rigid, offering no explanation whatsoever, leaving him with no way to begin and forcing him to experiment on his own.
This is why he was determined to leave Flowing Star, because on Flowing Star, everyone would recognize his face.
There would be no one hostile to him whatsoever; everyone knew that the Franka family was the most powerful family on their planet, Streamlight.
Therefore, the only option is to leave this place and head to Heluo Star. There, relying on personal connections won't work anymore; only then will there be a greater chance of unlocking new instances.
If all else fails, there's only one method left, which is relatively risky.
The goal is to find space pirates at the Heng level. With the protection of three Heng-level ninth-tier individuals, as long as one doesn't recklessly provoke a cosmic-level threat...
There's absolutely no problem with space pirates at the Earth's core, and those space pirates would definitely be hostile towards him.
However, this inevitably involves many risks, so Su Jing prefers to find a suitable instance on Heluo Star.
Only in this way can one quickly improve and become stronger. After all, in the universe, strength is everything; without strength, one is nothing.
Just like the situation his family encountered this time, if he possessed cosmic-level strength, he naturally wouldn't need to worry about Owen and his group having any ulterior motives.
If they dare to give themselves away, he'll just kill them. Right now, all he can do is hope they serve as a warning.
This is still thanks to the helpful reminder from the "golden finger" (a powerful, albeit unseen, advantage/influence); otherwise, one might not even realize what's happening when the time comes.
Therefore, he must seize the opportunity to become stronger. In the past, he was trapped in the predicament of his lack of talent and aptitude, but now he finally has an opportunity.
He would absolutely not let such an opportunity slip by, and would do everything in his power to seize it.
Watching the spaceship enter the dark universe, Su Jing didn't waste any more time and entered the virtual universe.
The opponent is set to be proficient in the "Nine Blades of Purple Lightning" technique, with a power level of 16 and excellent footwork.
Su Jing began honing his skills in the killing arena. He lacked the talent for mental power; he was just an ordinary martial artist.
His exertion was only 15 times the normal level of the Hengxing star. As for the secret technique, it was a cosmic-level secret technique given to him by his father.
This is already quite powerful for their family. Although their father possesses even more powerful secret techniques, the conditions for cultivating them are far more stringent.
The most suitable technique for him is the "Nine Blades of Purple Lightning." As a cosmic-level secret technique, Su Jing has mastered it to the third level. Beyond that, he'll need to develop a deeper understanding of the domain.
This progress is considered somewhat outstanding among the Hengxing level, mainly because of the constant honing in the Killing Arena, receiving precise instruction from Killing Arena opponents.
The improvement is rapid naturally, but it does require a significant amount of spirit coins. However, the family has the funds for that, but not for anything more.
Those who are truly wealthy are those who have honed their skills in real life, which offers a more authentic experience compared to the killing field.
After setting up his opponent, Su Jing began the battle. If he was slightly stronger, he would be able to enter the dungeon more easily.
