201: Chapter 201 Dungeon? What a load of rubbish!

Xiao Niao had no way of knowing when the BOSS inside this Dungeon would respawn, so he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

This game wasn't like the ones on the market where the rules were clearly written out; instead, players had to explore everything themselves. If a player didn't like to use their brain, playing it would definitely be very painful. In fact, even an intellectual player like Xiao Niao found it very inconvenient to play this game, as he was still confused no matter how much he racked his brains. However, the more this was the case, the more he wanted to know what was actually going on behind this game.

Feeling such contradictory thoughts in his heart, Xiao Niao couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

Hu Gualing didn't have so many complex thoughts in his mind. Hearing Xiao Niao say that the BOSS would definitely respawn, a happy smile appeared on his face: "It's good that the BOSS will respawn. The monsters outside are simply too stingy. After killing so many monsters, we barely managed to get two pieces of green equipment. How can that compare to this Dungeon? Although there is only this one White Wild Boar, it dropped three blue items at once after being killed! If we come to farm this Dungeon a few more times in the future, the three of us might soon be able to have a full set of blue gear each!" Hu Gualing said with a beaming face.

The three items dropped by the Mutated White Wild Boar were all blue, whereas outside this Dungeon, you might not even see a single blue item after farming monsters for a day. Facing such a huge gap, Hu Gualing naturally couldn't stay calm.

"It really has to be you two; you were actually able to discover such a hidden Dungeon." Hu Gualing praised Xiao Niao and Tang Yao with a happy smile.

This Dungeon was hidden very discreetly. First, Xiao Niao was being chased by a group of wild boars along the foothills when he saw an extremely narrow corridor and hid inside to escape the pursuit of the wild boar pack behind him. Then, Tang Yao was idly wandering around the corridor with Sharp Tooth when she found an entrance suspected to be a cave at the end of the corridor. It was only after the three of them came in that they discovered there was more to it than met the eye, and only after killing the BOSS inside did they realize in hindsight that this was a Dungeon.

Thinking about the whole process of discovering this Dungeon, Xiao Niao couldn't help but exclaim: "Yeah, this Dungeon is hidden too well. If it weren't for a stroke of Opportunity, it would really be hard to find."

Tang Yao also asked curiously: "When I found the outside, I just thought it was a cave hiding good things, but I didn't expect it to be such a magical space. Is this what you guys often call a Dungeon?"

"The monster difficulty is high, and the drop rate is also high. It can almost be concluded that this is a Dungeon." Xiao Niao said with a certain look on his face.

"So that's how it is. Interesting." Tang Yao nodded in realization as she encountered new knowledge.

Just when the three of them thought this space was the legendary, deeply hidden Dungeon they had discovered by chance, behind the earthen wall, the creator of Fantasy Jianghu, who was possessing a Bald Ugly Bird, was already frantic.

"Dungeon? Dungeon my ass! My game doesn't have any Dungeons set up at all!"

Although Chen Mo only had a wisp of his consciousness attached to the Ostrich, manipulating the Ostrich to sneak in from the 'cave' outside to see what was inside, this wisp of consciousness had all the functions it should have, so he had naturally long since noticed all the anomalies that Xiao Niao and the others had noticed.

As players, Xiao Niao, Tang Yao, and Hu Gualing didn't know a lot of information, so after some speculation, they attributed the various anomalies to this place being a Dungeon, and it made sense that the rules inside the Dungeon were somewhat different from those outside.

But as the creator of the Fantasy Jianghu world, which was what Xiao Niao and the others considered the 'Development Team', Chen Mo naturally knew better than anyone that because he lacked resources, there were no Dungeons set up in this game at all. At least up until now, it was impossible for such a thing as a Dungeon to appear!

Then what exactly is this place?

There are clearly designed scenes, there are boss-like monsters, and items can be dropped after killing them...

If it's not a Dungeon, then what is it?

What confused Chen Mo the most, and even caused a trace of fear to arise in his heart, was the cost of Resurrection for Xiao Niao, Tang Yao, and Hu Gualing!

The characters in the Fantasy Jianghu game world were just projections of a very small part of the players' Soul energy. Even if they died, the Soul energy would dissipate and still exist within the Fantasy Jianghu world.

According to the law of conservation of energy, when a player's character died, this part of the Soul did not disappear into thin air; it just dissipated into unconscious Soul energy.

Chen Mo resurrecting players meant simply reassembling these dissipated, unconscious Soul energies. It didn't consume anything, and he could make the player character reappear in the game completely intact. That one revival coin was just a small handling fee he charged.

Of course, in Chen Mo's vision for the game's long-term prospects, it was impossible to let players keep resurrecting so cheaply. Otherwise, players would think that they could just resurrect anyway, developing a habit of throwing their lives away at the slightest disagreement. For example, Hu Gualing already had this tendency, cleverly calculating that the cost of treatment after injury was high and the treatment process was troublesome, so it was better to die and resurrect on the spot, which was more convenient and cost-effective. For now, Hu Gualing's way of thinking was indeed more convenient, but in the long run, it might lead to a dependency on death. In the future, when facing real battles, if they were affected by this psychological death dependency, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, Chen Mo planned to wait until the players passed the game's Early Stage, became stronger, and had more fantasy points on hand before increasing the Resurrection cost at his discretion.

Of course, the current Resurrection cost was still one revival coin and had not changed.

But just when witnessing Tang Yao being killed by the Mutated White Wild Boar and then resurrecting, Chen Mo sensed that she had consumed two fantasy points to buy two revival coins to resurrect?

And that wasn't all. What made Chen Mo even more alarmed was that fantasy points, as game points, were actually proof of frozen Soul points that had not yet been converted into main god points. Only after players used game points in the game would the corresponding Soul value thaw and convert into main god points that truly belonged to Chen Mo and could be used at will. This was the operating process of the currency system of the game space that Chen Mo had transformed based on the Main God Space.

But what alarmed him was that when Tang Yao resurrected at that time, not only did she consume two fantasy points for some unknown reason, but after consuming the fantasy points, two points of frozen Soul value that should have been converted into main god points disappeared when he wasn't paying attention.
