"This dungeon is a little strange …"
Wang Yu could not help but feel confused when he saw the sudden system notification.
In fact, this dungeon and quest all had a normal background plot. What made Wang Yu feel strange was the system notification at the end.
Playing a game and fighting a dungeon was a perfectly reasonable thing to do, but the last sentence was really confusing.
Why would a dungeon affect the game experience? Could there be some content that was not suitable for children?
Wang Yu was especially puzzled by the sentence "the game company reserves the final right to explain".
It was not like Wang Yu had never seen such a sentence before. It usually appeared after a system update or a statement from the game company. As long as this sentence appeared, it meant that there might be legal consequences.
For example, players' game assets would be lost due to unknown reasons due to an update.
After all, it was normal for players to die and lose equipment or have their equipment stolen by a Boss. Only losing data due to a system update would be considered unknown reasons.
Wasn't it just a dungeon? Why did it have to say something like that? Could it be that this Boss had the ability to change the game's data? That was too f * cking ridiculous. No matter how powerful an NPC was, it couldn't open a modifier for itself. Wouldn't that be like Skynet in Terminator?
As he pondered, Wang Yu frowned and looked at Heaven's Secret and the others.
However, Heaven's Secret seemed to be dumbfounded as he muttered to himself, "What … What the f * ck … It's actually Dominic's challenge mode."
Hatake's expression was the same as Heaven's Secret's. He seemed to be filled with fear for this dungeon.
Heaven's Secret cried out in despair, "I deliberately killed myself to get here, but I'm still a step too late … This is fate."
Seeing their reactions, Wang Yu was even more confused. After all, no matter how strong Wang Yu was, his knowledge of the game could only be described as lacking. Naturally, he would not be like the others who knew the game like the back of their hands.
"…"
Wang Yu was speechless. He asked Heaven's Secret curiously, "What kind of dungeon is this?"
"City Lord Tie doesn't know about this challenge?"
Hearing Wang Yu's question, Heaven's Secret and the others couldn't help but be taken aback.
In their minds, as the Castellan of Yu Huicheng and a famous expert, Wang Yu should have a more thorough understanding of the game than anyone else. They didn't expect that he didn't even know about Dominic's challenge.
"I don't know," Wang Yu said frankly, "but from your expressions, this dungeon seems quite scary."
"Scary?"
Seeing Heaven's Secrets curled his lips and said with lingering fear, "It's more than terrifying. It's simply terrifying."
"What do you mean?" Wang Yu asked shamelessly.
"Sigh!" Secret Insight sighed and shook his head. "This isn't a regular dungeon, but a guild challenge dungeon. It's the kind of dungeon that's famous for having no return."
In the setting of "Rebirth", the Instance Dungeon's challenge mode was independent of the other modes.
The specific way to differentiate them was not difficult. Regular Instance Dungeons were based on the game's history and were developed to allow players to review the game's plot.
Challenge mode, on the other hand, required players to challenge powerful NPCs in the game and personally write the plot.
For example, Dominic was one of the most powerful NPCs in the Dark Faction. He had never been defeated, so players could only kill him by challenging him.
Rather than calling it a dungeon, it was more like an additional side quest, similar to the quest that Wang Yu had done in the past. However, the quest to open a dungeon was also based on the background story, while the challenge mode required players to use their actions to push the plot forward and kill such an important NPC.
Once Dominic was killed, the dungeon would become a regular dungeon.
Of course, if that was all, a mere challenge mode wouldn't have scared Secret Insight and the others to this extent.
The three of them were afraid because of the setting of the challenge mode.
Anyone who liked to play games would know that a dungeon was an independent mirror space that was created based on the main world and targeted at a certain person or team.
However, in the challenge mode, players would not be in the mirror space, but the real main world.
Because of this, the challenge mode didn't have the option to exit the dungeon. Moreover, there would be a resurrection point in the dungeon space for challengers to revive.
Obviously, the system meant that players would never be able to leave the dungeon space as long as they did not clear it.
Back during the closed beta, Dominic's challenge mode had been accidentally unlocked by someone.
At that time, everyone's average level was higher than it was now, and it was an entire guild that entered the dungeon. However, after that guild entered the dungeon, no one saw them in the game again. It was not until many days later when there were many posts of complaints on the forum that everyone knew what this Dominic was.
In the end, no one knew how the game company resolved the issue, but all the closed beta players at that time knew that there was a one-way dungeon.
Even after the closed beta ended and the game went into open beta, this terrifying legend was still being discussed enthusiastically on the forum.
Although God's Secret, Hatake's Fifty Percent, and the others had never participated in the closed beta, as veteran players, they knew a thing or two about the gossip in the game.
One had to know that an entire guild had been swallowed by this dungeon space, and every player was an expert close to Level 60. Even they did not make it out alive, so there was no hope for them to return.
If they could not beat the dungeon space and could not leave, they would probably have to spend the rest of their gaming lives in this dungeon space.
Thinking of this, Secret Insight's face revealed a look of despair again.
"Hmm …"
After Secret Insight finished speaking, Wang Yu stroked his chin and nodded thoughtfully. He asked Secret Insight, "Since you knew this would happen, why did you still snatch that Dark Decree?"
"F * ck!" It would have been better if Wang Yu did not mention this, but the moment he did, Secret Insight immediately said gloomily, "If I knew that this thing would open a dungeon space like this, I wouldn't have snatched it even if you beat me to death. In the end …"
At this point, Secret Insight's face turned red. "It's all because of those girls from Thousand Wave Temple. They said that there was something good there."
"No way …" Hatake Fifty Percent said doubtfully, "We didn't say anything when we were looking for this thing."
"Don't you know that there's a profession called undercover?" Secret Insight asked.
Hatake Fifty Percent: "…"
