In response to Bigmouth Zhao’s words, Liu Ming simply smiled and replied, “No need for that. I’m selling equipment in God Domain now. I don’t want to join any guilds.”

As soon as Liu Ming said those words, Bigmouth Zhao secretly took a few glances at Liu Ming in a bid to find some clues in Liu Ming’s behavior to prove that Liu Ming was lying.

But Liu Ming was indeed telling the truth. However, Liu Ming hid the fact that the pieces of equipment he sold were all obtained by him. Hence, Bigmouth Zhao mistakenly thought that Liu Ming was an equipment reseller after he finally confirmed that Liu Ming was indeed not lying.

With an awkward expression, Bigmouth Zhao smiled and said, “Liu Ming, I won’t ask any more questions since you have your own thoughts. However, if you change your mind within a month, I can recruit you as a team member. I do have the authority to do so.”

After he finished speaking, Bigmouth Zhao walked back into the crowd with a wry smile and followed the others to the stairway on the restaurant’s second floor.

…

The minor episode did not affect Liu Ming’s mood much.

After all, Liu Ming had even killed World Battle Fanatic, one of the World Guild’s real combatants before. A mere team leader of one of the World Guild’s Gold-Grabbing Teams—who was in charge of logistics—did not mean anything to Liu Ming at all.

Soon, Liu Ming returned home after his meal. Upon looking around his small apartment—which only covered tens of square meters—he found a small goal. He wanted to earn a few million yuan and purchase a larger home.

In the past, a few million yuan would be a far-fetched idea, which he didn’t even need to dream of, to Liu Ming. However, to the current Liu Ming, he could earn that sum of money within a month or two.

…

After Liu Ming went online, he was greeted with an announcement that had obviously been delayed.

[System Announcement: 50% of the Adventurers from Huaxia Region have entered the main city. The dungeon function has now been activated.]

[Adventurers, please go to the official forum to find out more about the details.]

Liu Ming was suddenly filled with vigor after reading the news.

In the official publicity statements of God Domain, the monsters in the dungeon copies had higher and better drop rates than those in the wild maps.

According to the official developers, those who cleared the high difficulty dungeons for the first time would be given bonus mystery rewards.

Currently, the item drop rate and EXP amount were of secondary concern to Liu Ming. After all, he could only enter dungeons a few times a day. Hence, it did not affect Liu Ming much. However, Liu Ming was a little curious about the mystery reward.

Thus, Liu Ming found the Dungeon Altar using the system.

At this moment, plenty of players were already standing around the Dungeon Altar.

“Nine members, waiting for one more to join us in Difficult Gust Forest. Come be the guard!”

“We have three members, waiting for two to join us in Normal Gust Forest. We need two Remote Output players.”

“Normal Level 10 Dungeon, I’m waiting for four members. I’m waiting for four big shots to carry me.”

…

God Domain’s dungeons were currently classified into five levels: Easy, Normal, Difficult, Expert, and Hell.

Among them, the Easy level was a watered-down version of the dungeon, which was roughly equivalent to 80% of the Normal level’s difficulty.

Of course, the corresponding item drop rate and EXP amount were also 80% of the Normal level’s. However, the dungeon monsters’ drop rate and EXP amount were still higher than that of monsters in the wild.

However, the Difficult level—which came after the Normal level—was 25% more difficult than the Normal level, while the Expert level was 50% more difficult than the Normal level. The hardest was the Hell level, which was 100% more difficult than the Normal level.

However, the exploration rate and EXP amount for the Difficult, Expert, and Hell levels were 125%, 150%, and 200% of the Normal level’s, respectively.
