During their downtime, players could either lie down and sleep, chat, or go offline to eat and drink. Everyone had their own way of relaxing, and the commander didn't have any objections.
Lu Li himself didn't feel too tired. After all, he was the child of a poor family, so he wasn't that delicate. There were plenty of things that were more tiring and bitter than this.
He strolled around and observed this place that he hadn't been able to enter in his previous life. He picked up a few herbs that could only be found in a lava environment. He planned to add these herbs to his poisons. Perhaps he would be able to add fire damage to the poisons he made.
Even though everyone was currently pursuing Fire Resistance, fire damage was still the greatest benefit.
Then, Lu Li saw Water Fairy.
Her two companions from Drizzle Court weren't by her side, and no one from Ruling Sword dared to come up to greet her. As such, Water Fairy was sitting alone next to a pool of lava.
Carrying a worthless item like a chair in her backpack, Water Fairy was indeed a very particular person.
Lu Li walked up to her and found that Water Fairy was holding a white jade rod in her hand. On the other end was a silver fishing line. He didn't know what material the green fishing float was made of, but it was floating in the lava without any damage.
This girl was actually fishing!
"What kind of bait is she using?" Lu Li squatted down next to Water Fairy. He didn't dare to sit down, because the ground here was very hot.
"Flame Worms. They're everywhere on the shore, but I don't think there are any living fish or prawns here. They're all materials," Water Fairy said as she handed something to Lu Li. From the shape of the item, it didn't look very cute. It looked like a skull.
A dead person's skull?
Well, Lu Li remembered this item. It was a relatively good material, but it only existed in some of the more complex environments in the water.
The magma pool was one of the so-called complex waters. There were also swamps, which were more definite waters. However, no matter what kind of area it was, they all had to have one thing in common, and that was that people had to die there. The more deaths, the better.
The skull was the hardest part of intelligent life. It was said that after death, the power of the soul would make the skull even harder, which was why it could withstand the high temperature of magma.
This was the Molten Core. Countless Dwarves had lost their lives to Ragnaros' flames, and the Blackstone Beastmen had also attacked this place. If not for the power of the flames, the corpses of the Dwarves and Beastmen would have already covered this area.
"There's no introduction on it. It only says that it's a material." Water Fairy pulled up her fishing rod and caught another skull. "Is this useful to you?"
She had never heard of any Life Skill that required such materials. No one in the entire Drizzle Court knew about it.
"It should be useful in alchemy." Lu Li indeed knew.
"Alchemy? Are you going to use this as a potion?" Water Fairy was dumbfounded. This was a game, and no one dared to use the skulls of the dead in real life. However, using it to make a potion was a little too shocking. If the potion you drank contained the skulls of the dead, your stomach would probably not feel good.
"Poison. Give me all these things. I'll see what kind of poison I can make." Lu Li did not hesitate.
"So it's poison. Alright, if it's effective, remember to share some with me." Water Fairy directly gave all the skulls of the dead to Lu Li.
"No problem, but I still need to do some experiments and figure out the corresponding recipe. These materials are not enough." Lu Li took out his fishing rod and planned to join in the fishing. Unfortunately, his fishing line was too low-end. It was a low-end product sold in the System Shop, and it turned to ash not long after it was thrown into the magma.
"Little Darling," the female tycoon called out to her friend, "Let me borrow your fishing rod."
"Don't you have one? Why do you want to borrow mine?" Star Baby was resting on a reclining chair. She was probably too lazy to move at the moment, so she answered without turning her head.
"…" Water Fairy was speechless. She handed her fishing rod to Lu Li, then stood up and walked over.
She really could not bring herself to say that she was borrowing it for Lu Li in public. This had nothing to do with how carefree she was. Girls were born to be reserved in certain aspects, so she simply ran over and said it. After a while, Water Fairy came back with a fishing rod and a chair. It was obvious that she was borrowing it for Lu Li as well.
Lu Li's bag had never had these random things in it. Other than the fishing competition, he rarely fished. Even if he did, he would do it while squatting or standing.
"She's still looking over here," Lu Li said as he took the chair and fishing rod. He glanced over and saw that Star Baby was no longer lying down. She was lying on her reclining chair and peeking over. Lu Li was a little embarrassed, but no one in Ruling Sword dared to be so brazen.
"I have too little homework. I'm too free," Water Fairy said lightly.
"So she's still a student. Then let the teacher give her more tasks," Lu Li said. His fishing skills were not bad, so he quickly cast his rod and caught a piece of coal.
This thing was just to make up the numbers. Although it could be used in Engineering, it was worthless at the price of a dozen copper coins in the shop.
"I think it's easier to catch things where there are bubbles," Water Fairy said.
"Uh, maybe … that's the case." Lu Li felt like it was ridiculous, but he had already learned to keep his mouth shut. There was no need to argue with girls. This was common sense that he had learned from his sister, even if what they said didn't make sense.
"This Instance Dungeon is not easy," Water Fairy said after a moment of silence.
"Which Instance Dungeon is easy? If the players take it too easily, the game designers will definitely have their bonuses deducted," Lu Li said. He was a person who liked to explore the essence of the problem. Players had a competitive relationship with each other, but in fact, the game designers and players were the same. For a game to have a long lifespan, it had to be difficult. A small team could easily take down a big Boss, while a single person with a dagger could kill from one end of the street to the other. No matter how good the objective reason was, it couldn't change the fact that the game would soon go bankrupt.
"But you seem very confident," Water Fairy couldn't help but say.
Before this, she had been thinking about how long it would take to take this Instance Dungeon. She didn't expect Lu Li to be so pessimistic.
"I'm very confident. Anyway, once the Instance Dungeon is made, it will definitely be taken down. It's just a matter of time. If the game designers make a Instance Dungeon that no one can beat, it will still be a failure. If it really doesn't work, the game company will lower the difficulty through a system update," Lu Li said matter-of-factly.
"I caught a rare material, Flame Essence," Water Fairy emphasized. "I cast the hook at a place with bubbles. What did you catch?"
"Coal. Other than coal, it's still coal." Lu Li threw the newly caught coal to the ground. This thing took up too much space in his backpack. He cast the hook again and cast it at a place with bubbles. This woman is really stingy. Didn't she just say it in a perfunctory tone?
