And now...

Jianzi saw that Xiaolong was wrapped in an iron net filled with lightning, and his mouth and nose were pierced by a long sword.

Therefore, despite not being very skilled in combat, she grabbed her weapon and charged forward. She wanted to complete the final piece of the puzzle.

At this moment, Bai also stretched out his hand, chanted briefly, and prophesied: "[Dead Eye] This attack will surely hit!"

A strange magic spread out, and Jianzi, wielding a longsword, thrust it forward with force. Before the dragon could unleash its breath, the sword pierced through the small dragon's jawbone.

Bai took out a spiritual elixir and drank it; it was a targeted prophecy that would consume a large amount of magic power.

He caught the white magic gun and unleashed a series of miniature lightning bolts that struck the barbed wire.

With crackling and popping sounds, arcs of electricity filled the air, and a faint smell of roasted meat wafted from Little Dragon's body. But Little Dragon, being a level 2 [pseudo-floor owner], still struggled, letting out unwilling whimpers.

Kong clapped his hands: "All done. Now it's time to verify our hypothesis."

As he spoke, he took out a large can of unidentified liquid from his backpack, then slowly approached the little dragon, used a short sword to tear open the dragon's scales, and injected the liquid into the little dragon's body with a syringe.

The little dragon, which had been struggling, was soon weakened and collapsed on the spot.

Kong nodded in satisfaction, clenching his fist and saying, "Come on, everyone, let's go together."

next moment……

Hegny was stunned. In his eyes, a large group of little girls were swinging their embroidered fists and pounding wildly.

If your fist hurts, stomp on it.

The demons injured themselves, and the black cat took care of healing them before continuing to beat them up.

Xiao Long, on the other hand, rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, looking utterly dejected.

The more they played, the more excited they became.

According to Shaga's guess, defeating monsters too easily would result in a decrease in experience points due to a lack of physical training, and relying on others to capture and restrict monsters, or engaging in playful battles, would not lead to any increase in ability points.

Therefore, the current plan is now just a formality.

The entire process was captured by a few of them, and the dragon's movement was restricted. After the task was completed, they deliberately created the result of a "difficult" battle!

In other words, before the monster dies, you should allow your body to get plenty of exercise and growth.

Simply put, it's like getting on the train first and buying the ticket later. The hardships that should have been endured during the battle are instead moved to the end in other ways.

In short, improving stats is essentially about training and growth; getting injured increases durability, moving increases agility, and so on. Monsters and achievements merely intensify and accelerate this process.

Kong raised the corners of his mouth: "As long as there are rules, there are loopholes to exploit... That's the basic quality of a gamer."

Chapter 93 The Bug in the Card Maze

"Ugh—I'm so tired!"

"Uh--"

Kong, clutching his aching back and panting heavily with sweat streaming down his face, leaned dejectedly against Xiaolong's corpse. Even as adventurers, their physical strength was still weak.

Miko and Kuroneko were also exhausted, but out of modesty as girls, they didn't sit down on the ground.

Only Tu Shou stood smugly atop the little dragon's corpse, hands on her hips flashing a peace sign: "Dragon Extermination! Death!"

Lily also took a moment to go up and throw a couple of punches, gaining some experience points along the way. She was greatly impressed by this method of killing monsters. Although she hadn't participated in the initial capture of the little dragon, she was probably just wasting her time.

only……

"How much money would this cost? No adventurer would waste money like that..."

She had secretly observed this net, along with the magic sword capable of unleashing lightning magic, the mana-replenishing potion, and that unknown venom...

The cost has long exceeded the value of defeating the dragon itself.

"This is not something a clever adventurer would do... They are demons."

But Lily also had some thoughts in her mind: could she also become stronger in this way? Compared to saving money, being strong herself obviously provides a greater sense of security.

She didn't start out as a supporter; it was simply because she didn't have enough funds to sustain the adventurers' activities. The costs of medical treatment and weapon repairs far exceeded the faeries she could earn from dungeon hunts. But things are different now; she's saved up quite a bit of money…

But considering that updating ability values ​​couldn't bypass Commander 'Chanis', they ultimately gave up.

As if reading Lily's mind, Kong suddenly said:

"That's cobra venom. It's a very common substance..."

"Why are you saying this to Lily?" A bead of cold sweat trickled down Lily's forehead. It was as if this man could see right through her.

“Because you have a very special ability.” Sora pointed to the huge backpack behind Lily: “It suits you perfectly, doesn’t it?”

"With a backpack this big, I can prepare more items to deal with specific monsters."

[Unsung Hero] is a logistical magic that can significantly reduce the burden of carrying heavy loads. It allows you to readily pull out pre-prepared items from your backpack, enough to handle any unfavorable situation – something Sora greatly admires.

Lily pouted: "Lily is just an ordinary supporter, she doesn't have that much money."

Kong stopped paying attention to Lily and clapped his hands, saying, "Alright, we've rested enough. Let's continue. Our destination is Rivera Town on the 18th floor."

The original plan has been completed.

However, with Hegni's presence, it was a rare opportunity, so Sora planned to explore the lower floors, not only for combat, but also to observe the terrain, gather information on monsters, and make advance plans for future strategies.

The dungeon can self-repair, which means that the terrain here is basically constant. He was thinking about whether he could rely on the terrain to create a more efficient monster-farming environment.

……

The underground city, level 17.

From here on, the misty terrain disappears, replaced by layers of caves and labyrinthine structures resembling rooms.

The caves are connected by narrow corridors, but they make no sense. No adventurer would want to fight in such a narrow place. If you are attacked from both sides, you will fall into the "vertical cave" next to you and fall to a lower floor.

at the moment……

"Lord Kong, I, I can't run anymore."

Lily ran with her head held high, carrying a huge backpack, while a large group of monsters chased after her.

As he ran, he carefully touched the structure on the rock wall, his white eyes sparkling, and he would occasionally take out paper and pen to record his observations.

As he ran, Kong analyzed the situation seriously:

"Starting from floor 11, a 'Monster Feast' event will appear in the dungeon. In this mode, more than 10 monsters will spawn simultaneously, and moving around will result in encounters with even more monsters."

"The monsters on floors 13 and 14 are Hellhounds and Unicorn Rabbits. They are both very troublesome monsters. The former is the second type of monster after the Little Dragon that can use fire magic. It is said that even level 2 adventurers will be wiped out if they are hit by its flames. The latter can throw stone axes and is a rare ranged monster."

"Not only that, the poisonous moths lurking in the sky are also a troublesome thing."

"In short, these floors aren't really suitable for 'novice' adventurers like us."

Jianzi clutched his head and cried out, "Is it possible that the so-called 'middle level' wasn't even a map for us newbies to enter in the first place?!"

Apart from the black cat with the help of Mame-no-suke, which has a combat power of around level 2, the attribute values ​​of the rest of the team do not meet the standards predicted for the floor.

Perhaps we should also add Dekomori, who wields a giant warhammer, but now that the oversized warhammer can't enter the narrow terrain of the maze, Dekomori has received its first nerf in this version.

for example.

Even a high-ranking adventurer like Bell, who has upgraded to SSS level, wouldn't dare to enter the 18th floor alone, but Sora chose to do so.

"So why did you let Mr. Hegney leave?!" Lily shouted in dissatisfaction.

This was her first time entering the middle level, or rather, her first time entering the 17th floor; all her previous experience was no longer relevant.

To survive, one can only rely on emptiness.

at the moment……

"Of course I want to gain ability points!" Kong slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"Adventure, adventure, adventure! Constantly using wisdom and experience to traverse and overcome complex terrain, defeat monsters that block your way, and finally enter the safe zone—that's the charm of the game!"

With Hegni around, experience will inevitably be weakened regardless of whether he takes action or not. Only through true adventure can one achieve a leap in improvement. For professional players, efficiency is always the top priority.

Therefore, Kong let Hegni temporarily leave the group and keep watch from a distance!

Seeing her tearful complaint, she said, "But this isn't a game!"

"Is there any difference?" Sora said, uttering a question that Miko couldn't refute.

With the existence of SAO, or rather, with the concept of "Yao Guang" established, the content of future games will undoubtedly be entirely virtual worlds. It's even possible that special games will emerge that can interfere with reality and hyper-accelerate human thought.

Seeing the child made me uneasy.

Bai gave a thumbs-up to comfort him, saying, "Don't worry, this is all part of the plan."

Similarly, Black Cat, a veteran gamer, and Dekomori, who is obsessed with adventure, share the same thoughts. Perhaps only Miko can understand Lily...

I just saw the child...

"You can't see me, you can't see me..." She covered her face and ran stiffly. As a leg support, she often felt out of place without her teammates.

"Seeing the child, I felt utterly defeated."

"Didn't you want to become a superhuman? Now is not the time to give up!" Jianzi kept reassuring herself.

As they spoke, the group walked to a corner.

Kong glanced sideways and saw a faint flash of light in the dark alley.
