Chapter 1073: Chapter 1073: Side Story – Live Streaming World 42

According to the time estimation, this is Shen Mo’s tenth day in the live-streaming world.

The rookie leaderboard in the competitive zone is much longer than that of the living zone, and they still have a full twenty days to break dungeon records.

Any dungeon will do.

As long as they break any record, they will just need to follow procedures and clear the remaining dungeons that they’ve never passed before, then the team would secure a spot for ascending to the heavenly world.

…

The next day, Ada went out right after breakfast to gather information.

Natasha was in her room hitting a punching bag, with thumping sounds coming through occasionally.

In the living room, Yuri spread out a piece of paper and drew the map of Demon Island from memory, slowly.

Shen Mo and Bai Youwei were also in the living room, gaining a general understanding of Demon Island through Yuri’s map.

“Everyone cherishes their life, and unless necessary, nobody wants to enter high-difficulty dungeons,” Yuri put down the pen and said to Shen Mo and Bai Youwei, “Natasha and I have been there twice, but the first time was in a hurry, we didn’t explore the map thoroughly, and the second time, our team leader had an accident, we were almost out of our minds and barely made it to the end, the grade we got was also low, so… we don’t really know much about the situation of the whole Demon Island.”

Yuri looked at his map, remained silent for a while, then spoke again, “Perhaps we really should not go back there.”

Bai Youwei asked, “Compared to other dungeons, would breaking records be more likely on Demon Island?”

Yuri slowly shook his head, “Not sure… there are too many dungeons, we can’t possibly try them one by one, our limited energy can only be spent on a limited number of dungeons, accumulating experience through the number of attempts, and then using the experience to enhance the scores.”

Just like a skilled worker, knowing where the traps are, knowing where the enemies are, knowing the final boss’s weaknesses, scoring naturally higher as one fights down the line.

Bai Youwei thought for a moment, then asked, “Were there any casualties when you first went to Demon Island?”

Yuri was slightly taken aback, then shook his head again, “No… we were lucky that time.”

Bai Youwei thought to herself that casualties must be part of the scoring criteria, once someone in the team gets injured or killed, it would result in a serious deduction of points.

Just that she didn’t know what the bonus points were for…

Bang!

Suddenly the gate outside was pushed open.

Everyone was slightly surprised and turned their heads to see Ada rushing back excitedly!

“Weren’t you out gathering information?” Bai Youwei asked in astonishment.

Ada hurriedly said, “A new dungeon has appeared!”

“A new dungeon?” Yuri stood up abruptly.

“Queen’s Nest!” Ada gasped for breath, sweating profusely, “Many people are heading to the subway station, they’re probably aiming for the record score!”

Yuri stood there in shock, after a moment, he slowly sat back down, “…There’s no rush, record scores are not that easy to achieve, the score has to remain unbeaten for at least a month before it can be regarded as the highest record.”

“But it should at least be easier than the existing dungeons!” Natasha appeared on the stairs without anyone noticing, gazing steadily at Yuri, “Challenging the records of existing dungeons means competing with the strongest teams of every period, but when challenging the record of a new dungeon, we just need to beat the current batch of people!”

Ada looked at Natasha and then at Yuri, “…I also lean towards the new dungeon, I don’t know how strong those veterans were, but I know that among the teams on the leaderboard now, no more than ten can compete with us.”

Yuri, frowning, remained silent; he still felt it was inappropriate.

Shen Mo looked around and finally spoke up, “Let’s wait a bit longer, since those teams have gone already, I believe the score will come out soon, whether the score is high indicating a high difficulty level, or low indicating it’s easier. Either way… we have to make a trip sooner or later, after all, only by clearing all the dungeons can we earn the entry to the heavenly world.”

Bai Youwei, watching these people, was also weighing in her heart: should they go to the supposedly easier-scoring Demon Island, or to the completely unknown Queen’s Nest?
