Chapter 138: 138: The LV60 Dungeon "Guard The Energy Crystal" with Large and Satisfying Rewards
This is a fully enclosed forty-two-story building, directly controlled and operated by the officials.
Apart from the first and second-floor lobbies, all the floors above are covered with arrays, making them inaccessible from the outside.
The Copy House, as the name suggests, possesses various copy resources. Starting from First Order copies, all the way up to Fourth Order copies, it truly has everything.
If you want to enter a copy of any level, you can find information in the lobbies on the first and second floors. After selecting a copy, you purchase a ticket at the counter, take the elevator to the floor where the copy is located, and enter with the corresponding copy ticket.
Each copy has a clearly marked price, and even the outputs within the copies, including any special items, are detailed in the copy introduction.
Zi Liyuan arrived early in the morning and went straight to the second-floor lobby.
The first-floor lobby corresponded to First Order and Second Order copy services, while the second-floor lobby corresponded to Third Order and Fourth Order copies.
With his current strength, sweeping through Third Order LV60 copies was no problem at all, but for Fourth Order copies, he still needed to see what they were like.
Zi Liyuan’s current goal was to power level quickly, so his standard for choosing a copy was one with a large quantity to keep him fully occupied. As for equipment drops, nothing he had accumulated in his Spatial Backpack was as good.
He found a query machine, locked onto a Third Order LV60 copy, entered high experience values, a high number of monsters, and clicked search.
Immediately, copies fitting the requirements were listed one by one.
There weren’t many copies that met the conditions, only five in total, but when he saw the introduction of the first copy, he was dumbfounded.
Copy Name: LV60 “Guard The Energy Crystal”, ticket price 10W per person.
Copy Introduction: This is a tower defense type guarding copy suitable for team play. The number of entrants is limited to 1~100 people. Players need to ensure that the energy crystal in the center of the village isn’t destroyed by the monsters. Once the energy crystal is broken, the copy closes and rewards are tallied up.
(Note: There are four monster spawning points in the copy, each spawning 100 monsters every minute, 4 mini-bosses every 2 minutes, and 1~4 bosses every 5 minutes. The spawning never ceases, until the energy crystal is broken.)
(Note: It’s an ultra-large team copy, with selectable copy difficulties: Normal, Elite, Rare, Hero, and Lord Level.)
Copy Output: For each boss killed, an additional copy reward of “Spirit Source Crystals” X100 can be obtained.
“This copy is interesting. As long as the energy crystal isn’t broken, I can keep spawning monsters—truly an abundance of quantity.”
Looking at this copy introduction, Zi Liyuan’s eyes lit up, and without a second word, he ran to the counter to queue for a ticket.
After getting the LV60 “Guard The Energy Crystal” ticket, he decisively took the elevator to the floor where the copy was located.
Exiting the elevator, there was a long corridor that allowed a direct view to the end. However, along the way, both sides were full of rooms, likely totaling around two hundred.
Clearly, the floor was subjected to a spatial expansion; otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to simultaneously accommodate that many rooms.
Looking at the room number displayed on his ticket, it read 3201. He immediately headed for that room.
Pushing open the door, he saw a huge room spanning hundreds of square meters. Aside from the load-bearing pillars, there were rows of seats. At the far end of his sight was a dark green vortex portal.
The closest rows of seats to the portal were housing a dozen or so people who were gathered together and discussing something. They only glanced at Zi Liyuan when he entered, then paid him no further attention.
Naturally, Zi Liyuan didn’t bother with the people he didn’t recognize and went straight to the portal, reaching out to touch it.
[Ding, restricted LV60 copy “Guard The Energy Crystal” detected. To enter, the respective copy access voucher is required.]
“So that’s how it is.”
The copies at White Crane Academy didn’t have such restrictions before; you could just enter directly. Obviously, the owner of this copy had set some conditions for entry.
Taking out the ticket he had purchased from his Spatial Backpack, a voice in his mind rang out again.
[Ding, LV60 copy “Guard The Energy Crystal” access voucher detected. Would you like to open the copy? Yes/No?]
“Yes!”
[Ding, LV60 copy “Guard The Energy Crystal” successfully opened. Please select the copy difficulty (Normal, Elite, Rare, Hero, Lord Level).]
“Lord Level!”
[Ding, copy difficulty set to Lord Level! Please choose the number of team members and their names for entering the copy.]
“One person, Zi Liyuan!”
[Ding, number and personal details confirmed, teleportation beginning!]
The next instant, the dark green vortex portal emitted a burst of golden light, enveloping Zi Liyuan in a flash and pulling him into the copy.
The dozen or so people sitting not far from the portal were dumbfounded, especially when they saw the golden light erupting from the portal. Their eyes popped out, their faces filled with shock.
“Damn, is this guy insane? Not only did he enter a team copy solo, but he also picked the Lord Level difficulty?!”
“That’s so brave. He probably won’t last past the first wave of monsters, right?”
“Maybe come midnight, this idiot’s copy will spit out a corpse.”
“Which family’s fool came out here? Dying isn’t supposed to be sought out like this.”
“Should we hit the emergency button and have the Copy House staff deal with this?”
“Forget it, the fool chose it himself. If he dies, it’s none of our business. If the staff come and forcibly close the copy, won’t it delay us and our team for hours once the copy reopens?”
“Let him die; we might as well enjoy the show.”
…
At this moment, Zi Liyuan found himself appearing in a village, and in the center of the village was a small square, upon which stood a purple crystal that was several times larger than himself.
“Damn, are you sure this is a village?”
The village was actually a hundred-meter radius circle with the purple crystal as its center. Extending a hundred meters outwards was a tall wall, easily over ten meters high and seemingly indestructible.
To the east, south, west, and north, each direction had a large gate five meters wide and eight meters high cut into the wall, and beyond the walls was a disorderly wasteland.
Zi Liyuan’s Spirit spread out while he simultaneously activated the Eye of Death and the Eye of Shadow to examine his surroundings.
Soon, the terrain within a kilometer was laid out in his mind. He also noted that in the four cardinal directions, there were four huge Array portals that were already glowing faintly.
“Lord Level difficulty, I wonder what kind of monster templates will appear. I hope they are a bit higher, with more experience points.”
He casually took out his Magic Wand, and a huge summoning Array formed in front of him. The rhythmic sound of horse hooves echoed from the mist of death.
