Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 92 - 10: The Tycoon’s Game World (Part 10)
Returning to the game, Li Shuning discovered that her character Luoluo was still at the top level, while the second level was only level twenty-one.
Li Shuning browsed through the forum posts and understood what was going on.
That day, many people entered the dungeon, and initially, everything was going well, with lots of experience points from monsters.
As a result, most of those who reached level twenty entered the dungeon.
However, a nightmare ensued.
The dungeon progress was difficult, and after over two hours, they suddenly couldn’t damage the monsters anymore.
Meanwhile, the monsters hurt them badly.
Everyone who entered the dungeon was wiped out.
Some were unwilling to accept this and entered the dungeon again, but the result was another wipeout.
Dying once meant a significant loss of experience.
This was why, even after Li Shuning left for so long, the game had a leveling paradise with published strategies, yet most people only leveled up once, because they lost levels in the dungeon.
Li Shuning couldn’t help but smile, noting that the game company had made some changes, but some things remained untouched.
Li Shuning bought her supplies and headed directly to the Flame Ice Secret Realm.
At that moment, there wasn’t a single person at the dungeon’s entrance, making it feel somewhat desolate.
The Flame Ice Secret Realm, even at the entrance, the ground was fiery red, but upon entering via the NPC, all the monsters inside appeared to be made of ice.
These mobs had high defense and attack, but their only drawback was their slow speed.
Not knowing what adjustments the game company had made, Li Shuning proceeded into the dungeon cautiously.
However, after starting to fight the mobs, Li Shuning found the first half of the journey was incredibly easy to clear, with high experience gains.
Playing as Feather, she kited the mobs, attacking while running, effortlessly, given the mobs’ slow movement speed.
After clearing half, remembering that previous players were wiped in the latter half, she took a break before continuing onward once restored.
After fighting till the BOSS appeared, Li Shuning found it still quite manageable, likely because the game company didn’t remove the level difference effect.
The dungeon’s BOSS was tough; when its health dropped to a certain point, it would go berserk, teleporting the attacker to its lair, causing the player’s health to drop by two-thirds during the teleport.
If not controlled well during this process, the player could be killed by the BOSS.
Li Shuning was well-prepared, and when the BOSS’s Ice Hammer shattered, she grabbed a few bottles of Healing Medicine.
As expected, she felt a sudden blackout and a change of scenery, quickly using the Healing Medicine she held.
Originally at full health, which dropped to a third due to the teleport, was restored to half.
The BOSS, now without the Ice Hammer, had gained an Ice Sword, lunging directly at Li Shuning.
However, Li Shuning had already healed and was prepared, shooting arrow after arrow until the BOSS finally fell.
"Congratulations to player Luoluo for successfully challenging the Flame Ice Secret Realm, earning a large reward."
The same message repeated three times before everyone’s eyes.
The whole world went into a frenzy.
When everyone previously entered the dungeon, all were defeated, yet Luoluo succeeded. What was going on?
Many people asked directly in the world chat channel.
Li Shuning thought about it and bought a loudspeaker.
[Loudspeaker] Luoluo: Just bored and wanted to try. From the forum, everyone seemed to find the first half easy, then wiped in the second half; however, I found both halves manageable, only the BOSS was tricky. When you guys entered the dungeon at level twenty, I was at level twenty-five. I suspect the dungeon has a level difference setting.
Many games have level difference settings, making Li Shuning’s claim quite plausible.
After using the loudspeaker, Li Shuning didn’t pay any more attention to the world chat, she immediately checked the BOSS loot.
Li Shuning didn’t bother looking at the discussions prompted by her loudspeaker.
Li Shuning found the BOSS a bit stingy, with only two pieces of purple equipment.
Li Shuning couldn’t help but frown. Some of her actions had influenced the game, leading to adjustments by the game company. So did they also limit her Luck Value?
Li Shuning pondered and then shook her head. The gift pack was given by them; if her Luck Value were modified, other players’ values would be lower, meaning no drops would occur. Hence, it couldn’t be changed.
Li Shuning clicked to battle the dungeon again and plunged right back in. She couldn’t believe spending time would yield no good items.
Unbeknownst to her, the game company did consider tweaking Luck Values or making major changes.
However, for some reason, minor adjustments or value modifications worked fine, but major game changes, especially limitations on Li Shuning, couldn’t be executed, sometimes causing server crashes or data loss.
The game company couldn’t pinpoint the cause. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
In such a case, extensive changes couldn’t be made without risking player complaints or quitting, causing losses to themselves.
Under such circumstances, they could only guide players in small ways to catch up to Luoluo.
Otherwise, if players remained oblivious, the gap would grow progressively wider.
Monsters in the Flame Ice Secret Realm provided abundant experience, and after two days of grinding, Li Shuning reached level twenty-seven.
However, the dungeon provided little loot.
Li Shuning planned to evaluate her Luck Value of ten since BOSS drops were scant; she wondered about others entering the dungeon.
Soon she found out, when Li Shuning was at level twenty-eight, Bei Chen and his group reached level twenty-five.
They also entered the dungeon.
Bei Chen’s team members complained that the BOSS practically dropped nothing, apart from the high experience from monsters.
Li Shuning then laughed.
Leveling was progressively more challenging, and currently, the dungeon offered the most experience.
Li Shuning continued her solo dungeon runs for five consecutive days, which was quite repetitive.
Nevertheless, Li Shuning persevered.
She still took breaks, like during meal times, to relax.
She’d cook her favorite dishes, take a rest, or watch some TV.
That day, she crawled out of the gaming cabin to prepare some food.
Upon reaching the living room, she heard noises at the front door.
With her vast spiritual power, dealing with people was no problem. However, when Li Shuhan was threatened by so many, she could only handle two or three, risking herself if she went out; hence why she kept her doors shut.
The security in her apartment complex was excellent; entry required access cards. Hearing noises at the door made her wonder who it could be.
