Chapter 563: Chapter 307: First Battle of the Adventure Group, Unyielding Warrior·Shusdek Bound by Fate_2

"Sure, I have no objections," Gu Shanhai would never contradict, as he was here to inspect. Honestly, the team Rein had put together was very strong. If they had to compete today, they could make it to around the fortieth floor.

Each ten floors in the Tower of Destiny corresponds to one level for the adventurers, and in his adventure team, the highest-level Demon Giant Swordsman had already reached level 5. Even if some members lagged behind, they should still be able to make it to around the fortieth floor.

In large adventure zones, the levels start at LV1, whereas in medium ones, it varies. Sometimes the initial monsters are LV1, but it could also be LV0. In small adventure zones, the monsters start at LV0—this is a standard division.

Adventurers of level LV3 or higher can no longer enter small adventure zones, and those above LV5 can only enter large adventure zones.

However, out of caution, Rein didn’t plan to go that far. He intended to stop after ten floors because this time he only had plans for ten floors.

It can be said that this guy is truly careful, almost uncharacteristically so for a young person.

Adventure zones can save progress. If you don’t choose to reset and you exited on the tenth floor last time, you will also start on the tenth floor next time.

Besides the items that can only drop during the first completion, everything else can be repeatedly farmed.

There are limits, however, like with the Primordial Lord, where rewards are only given the first time. If someone in the adventure team has already received the kill reward from the Primordial Lord in this adventure zone, it won’t trigger again after they enter.

It’s a kind of strategy to avoid a boss fight, which also means losing out on rewards. The next time you come, the adventure zone will assume you’ve already fought it. Even if nobody has fought before, it won’t appear again.

This method is quite popular among lower-level adventure teams. As for the rewards, they’re better than losing your life. They want to get stronger and keep their lives; they definitely have to give something in return.

Of course, Rein wouldn’t give up so easily. The kill of the Primordial Lord would definitely yield skill rewards. Although he couldn’t receive them due to his profession, his wives would, and his rewards would turn into equipment, which was hugely beneficial.

Everyone continued up the staircase, soon reaching the second floor of the Tower of Destiny. Under Rein’s command, his wives’ squad of four dispatched all the monsters easily as if slicing through vegetables. Afterwards, he was still the one to gather the monster materials and check the loot.

"An equipment?" Rein quickly retrieved the loot from the lord monster.

As for the other stuff like gold coins, they were minor issues.

"Cold Wind Heavy Crossbow, too bad, no one can use it," Rein felt a bit of regret. He didn’t focus on crossbow archery, and in the team, only the Mechanical Gun Master was a ranger, and he used firearms, not crossbows.

"When attacking, it carries the ice attribute to slow down, focusing on increasing firing speed. The heavy crossbow itself emphasizes attack and range. It’s a shame the level is too low; otherwise, it might be worth as much as a Destruction Demon Spirit Warrior transformation credential," Rein examined the attributes and felt a bit of regret.

"The first ten floors correspond to level 1, how high did you expect the equipment level to drop?" Gu Shanhai glanced over; he had been observing the conversion process of equipment using divine power.

’Divine power gave me an impression of the philosopher’s stone, able to convert anything.’

Gu Shanhai thought about this. If he could truly master this conversion method, many things would be convenient.

He tried to perform a conversion and found he couldn’t do it at all.

’Am I missing something?’ He noticed several issues. He could convert mana into Divine Power Coins because it involved the condensation of divine power, but turning divine power into transformation credentials, items, and equipment seemed impossible—as if he were missing a conversion device.

He had the raw material of divine power and could see what the raw materials could produce. He even understood the process, but he lacked the conversion machine.

’The inherent power of a deity?’ Gu Shanhai quickly pinpointed the issue. He was a Saint, not a deity.

Those Saints likely don’t have this ability either, touching on one of the powerful essences of a deity.

"That’s too..." Rein found it a bit awkward to say. He criticized the Cold Wind Heavy Crossbow for being low-level, yet he himself couldn’t equip it. The heavy crossbow was level 1, and he was only level 0.

"Need a break?" Gu Shanhai inquired.

He sat on the side like a loafer, watching, and although Rein didn’t fight personally, he was still commanding.

After looking at his wife’s group, Rein estimated the time and didn’t agree to Gu Shanhai’s suggestion to rest, instead saying, "Let’s rest on the next floor. We have limited time, and we must conquer the first ten floors today."

"Fine," Gu Shanhai was indifferent about it.

Thus, everyone proceeded directly to the third floor where both the number and strength of monsters had increased again.

But with a group of higher-level players grinding lower levels and an experienced commander present, these monsters were bound to be doomed.

The cycle repeated, and they eventually reached the tenth floor.

After killing the lord, a Primordial Lord Monster named Unyielding Warrior·Hughes, who was bound by destiny, appeared once again. Unlike the lord or elite monsters, which did not have names and only had a level, this Primordial Lord Monster had a long name, making it quite special.

Gu Shanhai squinted his eyes as he noticed the difference in this Primordial Lord.

"A kin of the gods?"

This Unyielding Warrior·Hughes might be a divine servant or divine guard under the God of Destiny’s End.

It could also be someone punished by the gods, essentially belonging to a special category.

Gu Shanhai guessed that this character became part of the adventure lands forcibly after the fall of the gods.

"He is very strong, capable of exceeding his own level. He appears to be at LV1, but his true attributes might be comparable to a LV2 lord."

"And he possesses a stronger template, like health bars. His health might be significantly longer than that of a LV2 lord monster, and he could even have some damage reduction skills."

Gu Shanhai felt that if a group of LV1 adventurers encountered Unyielding Warrior·Hughes, they would undoubtedly face annihilation.

However, in the hands of higher-level adventurers, he would be easy to defeat.

"Too bad, no Divine Favored Profession Certificate," Rein said helplessly as he looked at the loot explosion.

There was a lot of loot, but each person’s gain wasn’t much, just a bit better for Rein.

In his adventure group, the lowest level among his wives was LV3. Gaining skills from killing a LV1 Primordial Lord was relatively trivial for them; the enhancement was too minor.

The adventure lands did not encourage adventurers to keep farming lower-level Primordial Lords. Rewards would certainly be given, but the disparity was huge. For example, killing a same-level enemy provided formidable skills, while killing a lower-level Primordial Lord would only yield trash skills, the kind where a whole bunch combined wouldn’t match up to one good skill.

It was only Rein, at LV0, who gained the most, but this so-called gain was only relevant at his LV0 stage; it would be considered obsolete at the LV1 level.

"It’s not that easy to get, keep up the effort next time," Gu Shanhai consoled.

Such outcomes really depended on luck; even he couldn’t predict what form Divine Power would condense into.

"It’s not too bad, one piece of Divine Favored Equipment is still best suited for me," Rein wasn’t disheartened. If Divine Favored Professions dropped easily, they wouldn’t be so rare.

Equipment also had levels now: ordinary, advanced, and Divine Favored, matching the three qualities of professions. There was also a growth-type equipment corresponding to god-given professions, which only dropped the first time one completed the adventure lands by killing the final Primordial Lord.
