106: You don't have to hide...

“It’s alright, Cheng Zhen, you don’t have to hide it, we all understand.”

Men Hao also sighed and said, “I’ve been to Misty Snow Ice City because this dungeon was famous for a while.”

“It’s clearly a five-star dungeon, yet it can produce epic materials!”

“Epic materials like Snow Condensation Essence are usually only found in dungeon treasure chests of six-star difficulty and above, and even then, they’re not common in six-star dungeons. Therefore, it’s quite surprising that a five-star dungeon would produce such high-tier material.”

“But later, after investigation by official Raiders, it was discovered that the prerequisite for Snow Condensation Essence to drop was that after the dungeon was upgraded, the Snow King had to devour two Raiders, and only then was there a possibility for this material to drop after the BOSS died.”

“Although this probability isn’t too high, one still cannot underestimate the evil thoughts of greedy people.”

“To prevent Raiders from deliberately harming teammates for materials, the official Raiders blocked this information. Since you have already cleared it and obtained the material, there’s no need for me to hide it from you.”

“Alas, you stayed in that dungeon for so long; you must have suffered a lot to defeat the BOSS with such difficulty…”

Men Hao knew that in the first two dungeons, Cheng Zhen’s teammates basically all came out alive, but this time, he was the only one left…

Watching the BOSS devour his other teammates one by one, what a psychological trauma that must be for a child!

Men Hao felt heartbroken and was ready to open the door and take him to a psychologist the next second.

Cheng Zhen: “…”

Although, the most hardship he suffered was all caused by that guy who didn’t leash his dog. In the dungeon, besides watching others build houses, he just watched others chop trees…

Seeing that these two were about to force him to see a psychologist, Cheng Zhen quickly said,

“Wait! Director Men, Director Tang, do you think there’s a possibility that teammates don’t have to die to get Snow Condensation Essence?”

Men Hao & Director Tang: “?!”

The two were even more surprised than before.

What? Did the official Raiders make a mistake or what happened?

While they were confused, Cheng Zhen was already thinking about how to use the information to make another fortune.

First, all the dungeons he cleared were on the leaderboard, visible to anyone with eyes. And with so many points, anyone could guess what was going on.

Moreover, Brother Tian and Lizi both cleared it alive, which the officials could easily verify, so there was nothing to hide.

A person cannot enter the same dungeon twice. Since Cheng Zhen could no longer return to Misty Snow Ice City to get materials, it was better to exchange this information with the officials for some benefits or sell the guide.

“Student Cheng, since this is important information you obtained at great risk, you don’t have to tell me.”

Director Tang was quite surprised when he first heard it, but he immediately reacted and offered a reasonable suggestion: “Knowledge should circulate, but it should also receive due attention. You can go talk to the official Raiders, or you can create a guide yourself and get the remuneration you deserve.”

“Okay, thank you, Director Tang.”

Cheng Zhen understood the other party’s good intentions, smiled and thanked him, then asked Men Hao to take him to the D City Official Raiders Headquarters.

…

“Student Cheng, long time no see. I didn’t expect you to achieve such results after clearing only three dungeons; it’s truly admirable.”

Men Lei smiled with a hint of surprise, seemingly not expecting his brother to suddenly bring Cheng Zhen to him.

Although he had recommended Cheng Zhen to his brother, he hadn’t expected Men Hao to have lured him to Worker University a month ago.

At that time, Cheng Zhen had been maliciously used with a difficulty increase card, and it was Men Hao who got a Dispel Card from his brother to give to Cheng Zhen.

Later, Cheng Zhen entered the dungeon without using the item, which worried Men Hao greatly, and his brother naturally overheard and knew the situation.

Now, Cheng Zhen stood before him, perfectly fine, and his rapidly climbing ranking on the leaderboard was enough to explain everything.

The two brothers exchanged glances.

Men Lei: How about it? Isn’t my judgment strong?

Men Hao: Bro, you are my true brother!

Men Lei: I dug up a top genius for you; aren’t you going to show some appreciation?

Men Hao: …After I get my bonus.

While the two brothers were communicating with their eyes, Cheng Zhen didn’t notice, busy looking at the previous Misty Snow Ice City data and guides.

Just as Men Hao had said before, to prevent malicious harming of teammates, the official Raiders sealed their deductions and did not publish them on the forum.

Currently, the guides for Misty Snow Ice City on the forum are all about normal clearance methods. Occasionally, some people discuss epic materials, but because no one had seen the material drop for a very long time, they thought it was a lottery-like probability, so there wasn’t much to say.

Since Cheng Zhen had already cleared it, it was impossible for him to go back and harm teammates. Coupled with the far-reaching impact of his first two guides, which greatly helped many Raiders, Team Leader Men handed him the sealed data for review.

Cheng Zhen flipped through it and nodded slightly.

As expected of the official Raiders, everything inside the dungeon was recorded in great detail.

There were several pieces of data; the first one was about several ordinary Raiders who were matched together in a solo queue.

They ran around aimlessly in the hall and inexplicably ran up to the number 100.

As a result, the snowman exploded, and one of them triggered 100 layers of curses, fulfilling the upgrade condition and transforming into a BOSS.

The other three desperately tried to escape, but because they didn’t pay attention to their steps, two more were devoured.

The remaining lucky one had skills somewhat similar to Lizi’s, but much stronger than hers, which happened to counter the BOSS, so he obtained epic materials after killing the Snow Giant Beast.

That lucky one showed off his treasure, making the dungeon famous, and naturally, it gained the attention of the official Raiders.

However, from the subsequent records, the outcome was not good.

Cheng Zhen compared his own experience with the other party’s one by one, propping his chin, seemingly understanding something.

Perhaps, the prerequisite for obtaining Snow Condensation Essence was not to sacrifice teammates, but to sacrifice ‘humans’?
