Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 589 - 523: Gold-Level Intelligence

"Not only that, I've also obtained intelligence that the Red King might soon attack the Black Monarch. If he succeeds, it will be much harder for us to seize a good opportunity to take down the King as we did before."

As he spoke, Kane began to explain in detail that the Red King's authority might suppress other kings, but his personal strength might not be that formidable.

After hearing Kane's explanation, Longbei and the others said nothing, instead, they all turned their gazes towards Kreya.

They all knew that what Kane was doing was extremely inappropriate, completely disregarding his own safety.

However, they didn't know how to admonish Kane. Thus, turning their gaze towards Kreya was the most effective approach at moments like this.

Kreya stared at Kane, and finally sighed helplessly.

They all knew in their hearts that Kane was doing this because time was pressing.

After all, Kane can be considered very competent as a team leader, and rarely acts irrationally.

When it comes to serious matters, Kane never acts impulsively or foolishly.

"Forget it, you must have had your reasons for doing this. Just, next time when doing something so dangerous, try to discuss it with us first."

"Haha, of course, of course."

Kane said with a forced laugh.

"Then I will continue with the intelligence sharing."

"After taking down the Red King, his soldiers directly betrayed the Red King and chose to defect to me, so I am now effectively the king of the Red King's territory."

Upon hearing Kane's words, Longbei immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Good brother, you've quietly become a king? What have I been doing all this time?"

Thinking about how he had been mining crystal stones up on the mountain before, Longbei felt a pang of regret.

Upon hearing that Kane had become the king of the Red King's territory, Kreya quickly took out a map from her space equipment and began examining it seriously.

"Kane, since you've become king, can you accept refugees?"

Upon hearing Kreya's question, Kane immediately nodded and said, "Of course, we'll take in as many as there are."

It should be known that the Red King's territory is currently very short on population.

Under the early renovations of the Red King, it had already become the most fertile area.

Now it is in urgent need of a varied population to restore vitality to the region.

Meanwhile, while rescuing the civilians, Kreya had to constantly deal with the Black Monarch's soldiers who were endlessly surrounding and hunting down various forms of life.

Kreya nodded, and then drew a circle on the map at a region connecting the Black and Red King's territories, handing it to Kane.

"We'll meet here then."

Kane looked at it and said, "No problem."

"Now, there's a very important matter that I need to discuss with everyone."

As he spoke, Kane took out the crystal stone used to control the dungeon from his space equipment.

"I want to transform this dungeon into a permanent dungeon."

Seeing Kane take out the crystal stone from his space equipment, they more or less guessed, but were still very puzzled.

However, they didn't become agitated and waited for Kane's explanation.

Since Kane had such a notion, he must have discovered some value in this dungeon that made it worth doing so.

However, he did not immediately explain, instead, he looked towards Burton, who had been staring at the ceiling beside them.

"Burton, do you know the rules?"

Hearing Kane's question, Burton immediately lowered his head to stare at Kane, with a mixture of surprise on his face.

"Where did you learn about this? Don't tell me you have already come in contact with this thing?"

Burton's voice was filled with surprise and disbelief.

But he still went on to explain.

"Rules are something that only those at the gold level start to consider."

Then Burton sat up, seriously looking at everyone and began to speak.

"You should know that advancing from copper level to gold level is achievable as long as the talent is sufficient, by clearing dungeons to gain energy and advance along the way."

"However, upon reaching the gold level, this rule no longer applies."

"Most individuals at the gold level took 10, 20, or even 30 years advancing from copper level to gold, but as long as the talent is not too ordinary, they can secure the achievement of gold through effort."

"However, to take another step at the gold level, the time involved is no longer in decades; even hundreds of years is quite normal."

"At this level, clearing dungeons no longer yields benefits akin to those below the gold level, but instead, offers the chance to comprehend the rules."

As Longbei spoke, he raised a finger: "One trade for one insight."

"Only by mastering a rule can one be promoted to the next level."

After hearing Burton's explanation, it was Longbei who first spoke, "And you, brother, have you comprehended any rules?"

Upon hearing Longbei's question, Burton shook his head.

"I spent almost all of my potential at the silver level, and it was only through the passage of time that I achieved gold."

Speaking of this, a nostalgic expression flashed across Burton's face.

"After completing several gold-level dungeons with my teammates at that time, I discovered that I almost had no talent or ability to comprehend any rules further."

"But I did grasp a little bit."

Hearing Burton's words, everyone immediately became interested.

"Quick, tell us."

"The rule I comprehended back then was Parry."

"Parry?" Longbei asked puzzled, "Isn't that a shield technique?"

Burton looked at his younger brother, "Who said a technique can't become a rule?"

"The rule of Parry means to completely block a certain attack, causing the enemy to fall into a staggered or unbalanced state."
