I Slaughtered Through the Dungeon Worlds with My Cheats

Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Rule Skills: You Die, I Live [Seeking Monthly Pass!]

He used to be a loader, taking only one day off a week. Not to mention the exhausting labor, he sometimes had to work overtime without any extra pay.

Forget about “nine insurance and two funds,” they wouldn’t even provide social insurance.

The dormitory conditions were terrible, filthy and foul, while here, they provided him with a whole apartment.

Seeing that Zhou Wen didn’t send any more messages, Mu Rufeng relaxed and continued to eat his dinner. He began reading the materials Zhao Dayong had sent.

First up was an introduction to the origins of the Abnormality instance game.

About five years ago, which was in 2018, the Abnormality instance game suddenly appeared in countries around the world.

At first, the number of players was very small. Although the death rate was high, the cases were filed as normal and not attributed to official awareness of the Abnormal instances.

Even if someone cleared an instance and returned to the real world, they would not inform the authorities.

As more people entered the instances, someone with not a low position within the system entered an instance.

Once this player cleared the instance and came out, he immediately reported to the nation, and thus, the instance game caught the attention of national authorities.

Eventually, they centered around this player to establish the relevant department, dedicating a vast amount of resources there.

This department was not subject to jurisdiction from any other department and was only accountable to the highest echelon.

As of today, it has been the fifth year since the establishment of the department.

When the number of players entering the instances was smaller, they were easier to manage.

As time went on, more and more players entered the game.

Even the higher-ups speculated that there might come a time when everyone would enter the instances.

After all, it was just speculation; no one dared to confirm it. The only certainty was that the number of players entering the instances was indeed increasing.

As for the origins of the Abnormal instances, not a single person knew.

Moreover, even if an instance was cleared, it would still exist, allowing the next individual or group of players to enter.

This led to the creation of instance guides, and naturally, the authorities held most of these guides.

It meant that these guides could truly increase a player’s chance of survival within the instances.

Of course, not all instances had detailed guides. For example, instances that had never been cleared, or even if there were guides, there was still a high risk of death.

Most importantly, new instances would appear from time to time. The emergence of new instances meant risking the lives of players to find out the strategies.

The “Crimson Preferred” instance Mu Rufeng had cleared was one of the newly appeared instances.

Zhao Dayong had also mentioned that Mu Rufeng should write down the guide for the instance when he had time.

Every seven days, one must enter the next instance. Neither earlier nor later, as this was a mandatory requirement for entering the instance.

If you had a specific medium, you could bypass the seven-day limit and directly enter an instance.

Also, once a player reached Level 3, this time interval would change to once a month.

Of course, there were also ways to delay the entry time for clearing instances.

However, only LV1 and LV2 could do this.

By spending a hundred soul coins, you could postpone the entry by a week.

Of course, even if you had enough soul coins to postpone, you still had to enter an instance once a month.

For example, if your instance entry date was the fifth, and you wanted to spend four hundred soul coins to postpone for four weeks, which is twenty-eight days, you would reach the next month. Therefore, you could only spend a maximum of three hundred soul coins to postpone for three weeks in that month.

This meant that as long as you had enough soul coins, you could essentially only need to enter an instance once a month.

If you reached LV5, you only had to go once every two months.

If you reached LV7, you only needed to go once in three months.

The higher the level, the stronger the power, and the greater the danger of the instances you entered.

“Has it really been around for five years? Am I lucky or unlucky?” Mu Rufeng pondered as he stroked his chin.

Mu Rufeng continued to go through the materials.

The background and origins had been introduced. What followed was information about the instance level system and some basic knowledge. @@novelbin@@

First, there was the player level system, with the lowest being Level 1 and the highest being Level 9.

Ordinary people entering the instances for the first time are not considered real players but Reserve Players.

Only after clearing the first instance can one become a Level 1 official player.

Here, levels are not determined by experience points but by the number of instances cleared.

To advance from LV1 to LV2, one needs to clear two more instances.

To upgrade from LV2 to LV3, one needs to clear three more instances.

The pattern follows for subsequent levels.

If the first batch of players who entered the instance had not perished, then the highest level seemed to be at most Level 7?

The player who founded the relevant department, according to the official data, seemed to be still alive.

While higher levels meant greater power, the instances you entered were more dangerous, and the probability of death was higher.

The highest level in the country was unknown to Mu Rufeng, as the materials did not specify.

…

With Level 1, you can unlock a Contract Slot and an Item Slot.

Contract Slots allow players to form Contracts with Abnormalities, thus gaining their power.

Contract Slots play a significant role in a player’s survival rate inside the game.

With each level increase, the number of Contract Slots and Item Slots can be increased.

At Level 2, you can have two Contract Slots.

At Level 3, you get three Contract Slots, and so on.

Regarding the Item Slot, with each level up, you can increase by three slots.

“Contract Abnormalities?”

“So does that mean the power to restrain my movement and the flames that repelled the bandage that Captain Zhou Wen used before must have been from his Contracted Abnormality?” Mu Rufeng pondered.

Does displaying two abilities suggest that Zhou Wen was already a Level 2 player with two Contracted Abnormalities?

What level were Qu Lianhong and Cheng Youlin, and what Abnormalities had they contracted?

Mu Rufeng continued scrolling through the materials.

He began to understand more about the world of instances.

There are two modes in the instance game.

They are the solo mode and the multiplayer mode.

The solo instance naturally includes the likes of “Crimson Preferred.”

The multiplayer instance involves several players entering the same instance.

Qu Lianhong had mentioned that Cheng Youlin’s first instance was a multiplayer one, with Captain Zhou Wen also participating.

If he were in a multiplayer instance, then there would be a risk of exposing the fact that he had a cheat.

“Forget it, if I really enter a multiplayer instance, I’ll just take it one step at a time. If it’s revealed, big deal, who’s afraid of a Hammer?” Mu Rufeng wasn’t interested in overthinking it.

When the most dangerous moment comes, after all, eighteen years later he could still be a hero.
