Chapter 73: This approach is pretty good.
Once players reach level 10, they can directly enter nine dungeons from the quest lobby. The most popular one is the [Ancient Underground Labyrinth], because there is no cost to enter this dungeon. Other dungeons require payment of gold coins or special items.
The Sunset Forest dungeon isn't very popular because each entry requires a Sunset Forest entry token. However, the gameplay of Sunset Forest is quite interesting and entertaining, so it does have a few loyal players.
[This melon isn't ripe] is such a loyal player.
One important reason why he likes the [Sunset Forest] dungeon is that he has a transformation card.
"I've been hunting geese all my life, but today I got pecked in the eye by one. You red-haired jackal, I'll remember you! Alas, it was my carelessness. I got a little cocky at the end and missed the forest's treasure."
[This melon isn't ripe] sighed. He had just bought a [Sunset Forest Entry Permit] from the trading house. Of course, he still wanted to play this dungeon game and prove his strength.
Meanwhile, in the Red Card family's chat channel, [Han Buxin] was sending a message: "Has anyone seen a card that can transform into a big bad wolf?"
【Invincible with Me】: "I was just about to contact you. How did it go? Did you get the forest treasure? I risked my life to lure the Sunset Green Dragon to the central platform. Pretty cool, right?"
"Sigh, don't even mention it, we ended up getting tricked!"
"Who could possibly ambush you? In that situation, with hunters, sunset dragons, and so many wolf monsters, how could any player possibly hold their ground?"
"There's someone else like me who can transform into a jackal and devour me in one bite!"
"what?"
The chat channel suddenly buzzed with activity. [Dali Hangzun] sent a message: "You mean someone else has the same Jackal Transformation Card as you? Do you know that person's nickname?!"
"I don't know, that's what's frustrating!"
"Could it be that Samat from the Fighting Clan? That guy was chatting quite a bit in the chat channel before."
"It wasn't him. I checked the chat history from back then. Out of 100 players, 58 players spoke. Of those 58 players, 54 left their last words, including Samat. The ending was quite interesting. Invincible, you didn't see it, but another player turned into a little white rabbit and got eaten by that treasure chest player. I was impulsive and hurriedly ate that treasure chest player without paying attention to the number of surviving players. If I had waited a few more seconds, I might have been the one who ate that big bad wolf."
"What are you talking about? Which dungeon are you referring to? It sounds interesting."
"Sunset Forest, anyone want to play? Let's play together, this map is quite interesting."
"I've played this dungeon before; it's just random stuff, something I do when I'm bored. Want to give it a try?"
"Sunset Forest, huh? It seems like you're randomly assigned to a room in this dungeon, so you might not be able to play together. Everyone's wearing masks once you're in, so you can't team up. But you can get a lot of materials by farming there, and you can also find Wild Gems and Sunset Crystals."
"How about we set a clan code, so we can use it when we enter dungeons?"
"That works too. How do we decide on the code? How about we shout 'Red Card Invincible' when we meet? And if it's a family member, we shout it back!"
"That's too easy..."
Zhou Nan was now in Sunset Forest, and a new game had begun.
This time, Zhou Nan won't transform into the Big Bad Wolf.
While transforming into the Big Bad Wolf allows you to survive, it prevents you from using other cards, thus missing out on the rewards from jungling.
He released the mysterious egg, allowing the sword butterfly to hatch it. Moments later, it soared into the sky atop the little green dragon with butterfly wings.
The little green dragon with butterfly wings can fly 30 meters high and has 30,000 health points. Zhou Nan is quite safe sitting on it, and the view is also good. This time, he is not in a hurry to go to the center of the map.
"Since I've decided to run this dungeon regularly from now on, I naturally need to study the map carefully and explore the monster strongholds, treasure chest locations, and so on."
Zhou Nan compared the mini-map, flying around and stopping, memorizing some terrain features, opening treasure chests when he found them, and clearing out suitable monster strongholds when he encountered them.
The puppy Dodge could only run on the ground and couldn't sit on the butterfly dragon's back, so Zhou Nan didn't bring it along. The two messenger butterflies, however, could follow Zhou Nan.
Suddenly, Zhou Nan saw a familiar nickname appear in the minimap chat interface: 【This melon isn't ripe】.
He sent a text message: "Coordinates (2333, 3456), there's a big treasure chest there. The message's been delivered, now it's up to you guys to decide what to do!"
"Really?"
"If there really was a treasure chest, wouldn't this clueless guy have already opened it?"
"A trap, it's definitely a trap!"
"I'm going to fight the green dragon..."
Zhou Nan felt that the map chat function of [Sunset Forest] was definitely unique. The chat channels of other maps were probably not this lively. As for that [This Melon Is Not Ripe], Zhou Nan had encountered him in the last game. He was very active in the chat channel. He didn't expect to run into him again this time.
"(2333, 3456), this coordinate point isn't far from me, should I go take a look?"
With a thought, Zhou Nan flew towards the coordinates provided by [This Melon Is Not Ripe], and soon he found a familiar large treasure chest on the open ground at that coordinate point.
"Haha, this guy's up to his old tricks again. Let me see if it's him!"
Zhou Nan raised his hand and called Xin Die Azhen closer, bringing up the letter-writing window.
He plans to write a letter to "This melon is not ripe".
The Messenger Butterfly can deliver letters. Just fill in the recipient's nickname, and it will deliver on its mission. It can even randomly enter dungeons. Zhou Nan thought of having the Messenger Butterfly deliver a letter to "This Melon Isn't Ripe". If it delivers the letter to the player with the treasure chest below, then it can be confirmed that the player with the treasure chest's nickname is "This Melon Isn't Ripe".
The letter was very simple, containing only one sentence: "You've been exposed!"
Zhou Nan clicked send in the letter-writing window, and the letter butterfly Azhen fluttered its wings and flew away. This time, it didn't turn into a speck of light, but went straight to the treasure chest below.
"It really is him!"
Zhou Nan smiled. He understood this guy's tricks. First, he would pretend to be a treasure chest to scam people, then he would go to the hunter and bring the hunter to the central platform. Then, players without the ability to transform would have a hard time competing with him for the last survivor.
It has to be said that this strategy is quite good, and Zhou Nan also wants to try it.
Having powerful predators act as your free henchmen is indeed a brilliant idea.
"A good strategy is best enjoyed alone; let's send you on your way!"
Zhou Nan landed on the ground. Since he didn't know how much health the treasure chest monster had, to be on the safe side, he not only summoned the Nine-Star Cannon Master and the Nine-Star Mutant Little Fishman, but also held the Ice and Fire Savage King card, ready to play it at any time.
[This melon isn't ripe] Just as he was wondering what was going on, a butterfly suddenly flew over and dropped a letter into his hand.
"I've been exposed? Exposed in what way? Who wrote this letter?"
[This melon isn't ripe] is still a little guilty. Pretending to be a treasure chest to eat people carries certain risks. If you encounter a player who attacks treasure chests for no reason, you'll be frustrated.
Moreover, he had lost count of how many players he had devoured. He must have a deep impression of every player he had killed, and if they encountered him again, they would most likely fight him, like the guy riding the Shar Pei crocodile in the last game.
Suddenly, another butterfly flew by and dropped an envelope.
[This melon isn't ripe] He's currently in treasure chest form, without hands, but with a thought, the letter unfolds before him, containing the sentence: "The one who will kill you is Red Wolf!"
"Red Wolf? Holy crap, isn't that the one that ate me in the last game? It's happening again!"
[This melon isn't ripe] I couldn't stay calm anymore, so I jumped up on the spot, just to see if there was a red-haired jackal hiding behind me. But at that moment, there was no red-haired jackal, but a red fishman cannonball came.
With a loud bang, the mutated bloodline fishman Tiantian, transformed into a fishman cannonball, hit [This melon is not ripe].
"-13500!"
"-1500! Blood Explosion!"
Damage numbers appeared, and the treasure chest that [This Melon Isn't Ripe] had transformed into was blasted into pieces before turning into white light and dissipating.
Nine-star artillerymen, a hundred meters away, one shot kills them instantly!
To Zhou Nan's surprise, he discovered that after [This Melon Isn't Ripe] was instantly killed by a single shot, it actually dropped a bunch of items on the ground, including what appeared to be gold coins and cards.
