Chapter 289 The New Round of Business 2 (1/2)
The next day, Han Xiao officially started to distribute dungeon missions. The players in the sanctuary were pleasantly surprised.
”Never thought Black Phantom would have dungeon missions as well. Why didn't they appear before?”
”The Germinal Organization main storyline only ended recently. Maybe it's to let those of us who didn't participate in it take part through the form of a dungeon, and Han Xiao is the one to give access to those dungeons.”
”That's pretty good if that's the case.”
The players in the sanctuary had not taken part in the war main storyline. There were definitely some regrets. Now that Han Xiao had released a dungeon that was related to the completed main storyline, it was undoubtedly a chance to make fulfill those regrets.
The players swarmed in, but Han Xiao did not give it out for free this time.
He set a mission with one dungeon crystal as the reward. It required something called 'Contribution Points'. After accepting this mission, purchasing anything from Han Xiao would increase the contribution points.
Since dungeon crystals could not be sold or generate direct benefits, he just had to change his method. He could randomly set the mission requirement, so he made the dungeon crystal into something like a bonus reward to encourage the players to buy things from him, which would, in turn, increase his sales.
The players that were already planning to spend would be even more willing to spend after seeing they could complete the dungeon mission on the way. The players who wanted to complete the dungeon mission would come and buy from him, then realize that the things he sold were all bargains, and they would fall into the trap, forming a cycle.
This was a promotion method!
The effect was very clear. The first time Han Xiao tried it, his sales for that day increased by thirty percent! The results were very great.
The most obvious impact was that Han Xiao's surrounding area became more crowded than subways, such that he could hardly move.
After getting the dungeon crystal, the players called their friends and created teams to enter the dungeon. Their experience of the process was basically—enter joyfully, die, then come out stunned and confused.
The winning goal was to survive till the end. At the start, everyone died before they could reach the end. Two days later, someone finally completed the dungeon, but the completion rate was pathetic. They completed zero optional missions and completed the dungeon with the lowest completion rate.
The four optional missions were the ones with the highest rewards. They spent money at Han Xiao's to receive the dungeon crystal, but they only got the lowest dungeon reward. It was a loss, and the players were frustrated.
The difference in difficulty between the optional missions and the completion goal was huge.
”Is this dungeon even playable?”
”Black Phantom killed me for the eighth time. My heart is exhausted…”
The players could not help but complain, share the dungeon's intelligence and recording, and hope someone could come up with something.
”After dying so many times, I can conclude… if you listen to the base's order, you'll die.”
”How do we even complete the optional missions? Is this really an LV30 dungeon?”
A high skill player arranged the intelligence and analyzed the dungeon storyline from the five optional missions.
”The outline of the path should be like this. First night into the dungeon, Hesla agents cause the leak of the base's fake intelligence. The second night, Black Phantom starts to act by sniping patrols, infiltrates the base with unknown methods, then steals the real intelligence. This night is the key to completing mission two. Then the base enters alert, discovering Black Phantom's location. The pursuit then starts, resulting in failure. Right after that, a large number of Hesla troops arrive, and the head-on battle starts. There's a chance to complete mission one here. Then, everyone gets surrounded and defends the base, and in the end, the base explodes. Staying alive till this point will be considered completing the dungeon.”
Tables and recordings were listed there, showing the things to take note of in every step of the dungeon storyline, then it went on to the next topic.
”Obviously, in this case, there is no chance to complete the rest of the two optional missions. From my daring guess, there might be two paths to this dungeon, one of them is the one we experienced, and the other is the hidden storyline that will relate to the last two optional missions and has yet to be triggered by anyone.
