Chapter 417 The Game Map

"That's not right!" Bai Ye said, "Why would you go to Salem?"

Since Mechanical Reconstruction was Bai Ye's ability, Bai Ye naturally knew where to get it.

Salem was a space station, and also a place where Mechanical Reconstruction could be obtained.

However, it was not a place that people could go to at present. At least, it would require the World Battlefield to enter its mid to late stages.

Take Bai Ye himself for example. Mechanical Reconstruction was the core ability of Bai Ye's previous life. If he had the chance, Bai Ye would definitely acquire it.

Moreover, compared to his previous life, since he had obtained it once, Bai Ye would definitely find it easier to obtain Mechanical Reconstruction in this life.

However, Bai Ye had no intention of going to Salem at all.

It wasn't that Bai Ye didn't want to go, but Bai Ye knew that going there would be like throwing his life away. He was incapable of surviving in Salem at the moment.

No, to be precise, it would be quite difficult for Bai Ye to even go to Salem.

In Bai Ye's estimation, to go to the Salem space station, at least most people would need to have two or three red-quality items, and top experts would need at least one gold-quality item or ability before they could attempt it.

Bai Ye was currently at the borderline. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was indeed very strong, but its proficiency had not yet been improved. Strictly speaking, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit could only be considered the lowest tier of gold quality at present.

Relying solely on this, Bai Ye felt that going to Salem would be extremely challenging.

Since this was the case, why could the Evil Spirit Group go to Salem?

Did the Evil Spirit Group have such powerful experts?

On the other side, Gao Ming also showed a look of confusion, wondering, "What is Salem?"

Bai Ye said, "You don't know Salem, so how did you get Mechanical Reconstruction?"

Gao Ming replied, "Wish Mission!"

Bai Ye had a look of realization, how could he have forgotten this.

Indeed, Wish Missions were precious precisely because they could be used to obtain things that were difficult to acquire at the current stage through wishing.

Especially since Mechanical Reconstruction, like the Phoenix ability, was growth-oriented. Simply put, it was black quality when first obtained, and it was possible to obtain it through wishing.

Then there was nothing to hesitate about.

Bai Ye decisively said, "I want this thing!"

"Hmm..." Gao Ming pondered for a moment and said, "We need to hear what intelligence you can offer in exchange first."

Oh, playing hard to get?

Bai Ye was momentarily stunned, then patted his forehead.

It was his tone, the excitement he displayed, and his eagerness to obtain Mechanical Reconstruction that had led Gao Ming to pick up on something.

The core meaning of a transaction was to see which party was more desperate.

"Alright, it's a big sale today, so I'll give you some explosive news." Bai Ye said, "Do you know about virtual reality games?"

"I do." Gao Ming replied, "I'm from the future technology world. Although my world isn't considered a top-tier technological world, we do have games that create virtual reality in consciousness."

"Oh? If you know, then it'll be easier to explain." Bai Ye said, "There's a region that belongs to the future technology area, but there are no war products, it's a very peaceful region, and in fact, it's an absolutely safe area."

Gao Ming asked, "There are no absolutely safe areas in the World Battlefield, right? Even safe zones are only temporarily safe."

Bai Ye chuckled, "Indeed, but that area is safe. It's directly protected by the World Battlefield. You can consider it the only safe area, but you can't get anything that strengthens your power within that area."

Gao Ming asked doubtfully, "So, you mean?"

"Be patient, we're getting to the main point." Bai Ye said, "It's a virtual reality game called 'newworldonline,' and you can only log in in that area."

"The core is this virtual reality game. The game's background is fantasy, similar to a dungeon mode. Players can conquer floors. The higher the floor, the stronger the monsters inside, and the better the loot."

"Also, the rule of the game is that after conquering the Boss of each floor, you can choose three game items obtained on that floor to bring back to the world outside the game. And on the first floor, you can get blue-quality items, on the second floor, black-quality items, and on the third floor, red-quality items."

"So, as long as you clear the Boss on the third floor, theoretically, for every person you send in, you can bring back three blue-quality items, three black-quality items, and three red-quality items."

Gao Ming asked, "Theoretically?"

Bai Ye replied, "Blue and black are manageable, but the Boss on the third floor is not easy to conquer. Secondly, the Boss in that game cannot be overcome by sheer numbers. According to the game rules, there is a limit to the number of players in a team."

"Secondly, you will have competitors. There are already 'players' in the game, whom you can consider as natives. Among them are not a few experts."

"Also, don't think that just because it's a game, you can't die. If you die in the game, you really die. It's just a game name. That place is essentially part of the World Battlefield."

Gao Ming frowned, "Everything else is manageable, but you can't use numbers to overpower it."

Bai Ye interrupted, "Don't you understand the key point? This is a game!"

Gao Ming asked, "What do you mean?"

Bai Ye explained, "Don't just focus on being able to bring out three items. You should pay attention to the items you can't bring out. The Boss is indeed not easy to conquer, but what if you have enough time to spend in there? If you get enough red-quality items, you might even be able to solo the Boss."

Gao Ming suddenly had a look of realization, "So that's how it is. Only three items can be brought out, but there are more than three items that can be obtained in the game. And as long as you have time and patience, the game also has levels, right?"

"Yes!" Bai Ye said, "But don't get happy too soon. The game mode indeed allows you to defeat the Boss 100%, but you must understand one thing: spending too much time, even if the items are brought out, their value will be reduced."

"Furthermore, the Bosses on each floor respawn infinitely. Since you must defeat the floor Boss to bring out items, this is something everyone can participate in. However, some Bosses that can produce good items have a quantity limit. Once killed, they are gone."

"Finally, when entering the third floor, you must be cautious. This rule has a very obvious pitfall..."

Gao Ming interrupted, "Those who enter will be trapped inside, right?"
