Chapter 657: Chapter 351: Sunset and Dusk_1

Mu You had already used the Pocket Watch to roll the rewards multiple times, discovering that besides the Experience Book and 50 fire resistance points, which are guaranteed, the remaining two types of spoils of war would vary.

The purple Sky Set will randomly drop any part, while for the Evolution Gem, Mu You initially thought that since they killed the Lord of Fire, they would definitely drop the Flame Gem. However, after rolling a few more times, they realized this was not the case. The drop could also be a Frost Gem, Thunder Gem, or gems of various other elements. The attribute of the gem would directly influence the final evolution direction of the equipment.

The variability in the loot drop only indicated that these gems did not explode directly from the Lord of Fire but were ’stock’ stored in advance by the Fool’s Ancestors in a certain place. Every time the Lord of Fire was killed, a random item would be thrown out as a reward.

This also implied that the total number of Evolution Gems might be limited, and once the stock pool was empty, there would be no more rewards in the future.

As for how many Evolution Gems could be spawned, Mu You was not certain yet. However, this boss only refreshed once a week, and even if there was a boss in every layer below, there would only be a total of seven.

In other words, the entire Underground City could only produce a maximum of seven Evolution Gems every week, yet tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of players in the entire city would be vying for them...

Doing the math, the quantity of these gems was exceedingly scarce. After all, one person would need dozens of gems to craft full orange gear. Even if all the resources were pooled together, only a small group of top players could be equipped after one or two years of development.

For Mu You, even as the City Lord, getting these gems multiple times would not be easy. After all, this item cannot be kept secret, and once word gets out, it would inevitably draw a hoard of players to track it.

Only the first-clear rewards for each layer could he strive for using his current progress advantage. Afterward, the defeated boss would revive at a random time within five to ten days, and he couldn’t possibly always be watching. With tens of millions of players entering the Underground City every day, someone would always notice the boss’s revival faster than him and reap the rewards before he could.

Thus, there would inevitably be intense competition for bosses in the future, and in this regard, he, as the City Lord, had no special privileges.

Shaking his head, Mu You put away the items, called in a few people, and the whole team went down to the second floor through the entrance.

[You have lit the Soul Lamp of the second floor of the Underground City.]

Upon entering the second floor, there were only a few minutes left in dungeon time. Mu You let Cicada Ice continue to lead the way and move forward for a while.

However, they quickly reached an impasse.

[You have come to a Crystal Mine, found that the road ahead is blocked by wildly growing gem veins, making it impassable. Do you want to start mining immediately?]

Cicada Ice’s coin led them to a blocked vein in front of them; that is to say, to reach the exit on the second floor, there was no chance to go around the obstacle either - they would have to clear this vein of ore before they could continue.

This was not something a single team could do; they could only wait for a large number of players to enter the second floor before they could clear the road as quickly as possible.

At this time, the dungeon time was also up, and the few of them were automatically teleported back to the surface.

"We’ll continue tomorrow night."

You can only enter the Underground City three times a day - now that all of them have used up their chances, Mu You arranged a rendezvous time for tomorrow, and disbanded the team.

After logging off the game, Mu You immediately opened the forum to have a look.

As expected, many familiar figures on the forum had sent him private messages, congratulating him on his first successful pass. However, most were subtly trying to inquire about the method to clear the dungeon and the final boss’s rewards.

Mu You closed all the private messages from other people, leaving only Blue Eyes White Dragon’s. He detailed the process to the boss, and also vaguely revealed something about the boss’s rewards.

After all, he didn’t need to halt the progress of others, but rather, he needed most players to enter the second floor as soon as possible. Otherwise, without anyone mining, he would also be obstructed.

The Blue Eyes White Dragon, being a professional strategy creator, was indeed efficient. After obtaining valuable intel from Mu You, they immediately began designing strategies and arranged for personnel to test them on-site.

About two hours later, a new Underground City guide was published.

[Dawn City Expedition Team: Comprehensive Strategy for the First Floor of the Underground City.]

"Firstly, we extend our gratitude to the Ghost Captain for providing us with the information. The route to the clearance is shown in Picture 1."

"This is currently the shortest route from the first-floor entrance to the second-floor entrance. The monster and traps encountered at each step along the way have been marked. The City Lord’s team used a Summoner-based strategy for efficient clearance. Teams with many summoning spells can try to copy this strategy."

"Then let’s talk about the boss at the end of the first level, called the ’Lord of Fire’, Level 25... Yes, you read it right, the boss of the first floor is a Level 25 monster! According to sources, its abilities are quite fierce, and its strength will double with an increase in the number of challengers. Hence, this monster can essentially only be defeated by top players in a solo fight."

"However, rest assured, this boss has already been killed by the City Lord. In the next few days, everyone can directly enter the second floor from the exit without having to face the boss, significantly reducing the difficulty of clearance..."

"Let’s mainly talk about the loot obtained from killing the boss."

As instructed by Mu You, Blue Eyes White Dragon posted the detailed loot he provided in the strategy and highlighted the description of the ’Evolution Gem’.

Upon reading this, people were indeed startled.

A gem that can transform epic equipment into legendary ones? Such an item was unheard of for all players.
