Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Chapter 507 The Polluted City (1)

A few days later, there was no noteworthy news from either the Infinite Company or the Ferdinand Family, so Han Zu naturally stopped wasting time on this for the time being. In order for his pseudonymous identity to help him better, he now needed to obtain some weapons for long-term use through the Infinite City. Although after several months of upgrades and job transfers, the weapons he had were already pretty good, and for mid-level top players, they were enough to cope with them, but that was their upper limit. If he had to fight against the real top players in the future, these things would not be enough.

With Adenauer's current level and experience, he cannot enter the dungeons that can hold top-level weapons, nor should he be able to defeat the enemies inside. Moreover, although there are many top-level weapons in the Infinite City, compared with the number of players, it is not that many. Therefore, players have ways to deal with almost every top-level weapon, which can reduce their damage or even invalidate it. It is for this reason that Han Zu's initial target was not those top-level weapons.

But without good weapons, it would not work. After all, although Han Zu could kill the enemy with a fire stick, it would seem very unreasonable to others, and they would naturally doubt himself. So after careful consideration, Han Zu set his sights on some growth-type weapons. As long as the proficiency of these weapons is sufficient, their power will not be worse than those top-level weapons. The most important thing is that among the players in the Infinite City, these growth-type weapons, except for some players of specific professions, almost no one will use them, so naturally there is no complete countermeasure.

The reason why few people like to use these growth-type weapons is mainly because of the difficulty required for their growth. In addition to frequent use to improve weapon proficiency, if you want to make it grow to the next level, you often need to do some weird tasks. These tasks are not completely impossible to complete, but they are either extremely time-consuming or very outrageous.

Not only that, among these growth-type weapons, except for some weapons sold in the mall, the difficulty of obtaining them is disgusting. They are basically related to those hidden tasks that have almost no benefits and are incredibly difficult to obtain. The investment required to obtain them is often greater than the benefits of obtaining them. After all, the most basic forms of these growth-type weapons are garbage, which is a compliment to them.

However, if someone can endure loneliness and those weird and difficult growth conditions, when these growth weapons are upgraded to a certain level, the surprise they give people is also huge. For example, among the players of Infinite City, there is a player nicknamed "Sugar Factory Boss". The reason why he has this nickname is mainly because he has a growth weapon. He and his teammates, when they cleared a certain copy, accidentally completed a hidden task and obtained a growth weapon. Fortunately, the acquisition of weapons must be related to the profession, so as a mage, "Sugar Factory Boss" naturally obtained a staff.

The staff was very plain in shape, and looked like the simplest staff made from a branch. However, when the "sugar factory owner" first obtained it, he almost broke it. The reason was that its attack was simply a joke. The only attack method that this staff could release was to make sugar beans rain from the sky. Rather than a weapon, it was more like a toy. Because these sugar beans were really ordinary sugar beans, edible, and the kind that could be bought everywhere outside. Their attack power was not enough to kill even an ant, and each sugar bean rain lasted only ten seconds, and the cooling time was one minute, so naturally the damage could not be compensated by the attack frequency.

The initial growth requirement of this staff is to kill 999 enemies with these playful jelly beans. For example, in the Infinite City dungeon, the health of the worst enemies is between 200 and 500, and what is the attack power of the jelly beans? It is 0.00000000013, which is very difficult. The temper of the "sugar factory owner" is pretty good, but he almost broke it. If it were in the hands of other players, it would have been thrown away.

So, adhering to the principle of "I'm free anyway, I might as well give it a try", from that time on, every time the "Sugar Factory Boss" entered the dungeon, he would release sugar bean rain for no reason, as long as the CD was ready. This made his dungeon games become inexplicably funny, and his nickname "Sugar Factory Boss" has followed him from that time to now.

After several months, releasing sugar bean rain at any time has become a habit of "Sugar Factory Boss". He almost forgot that the sugar bean launcher is a growth weapon. However, just half a month ago, when he followed his friends to complete a dungeon, the sugar bean launcher finally completed the growth requirements. Although the appearance of the staff has not changed much, the attack released again is not a rain of sugar beans, but an extremely dangerous elemental fireball. The most important thing is that the range of these hellfires is the same as the sugar bean rain, which can cover an area of 5000 square meters. Although their size is much larger than the original sugar beans, the number is the same, which leads to the continuous bombardment of fire rain within the range covered by the hellfire rain. Although the power of each fireball is not too great, there are fireballs. This damage can kill some ordinary elite enemies in the dungeon of the same level as "Sugar Factory Boss". You must know that "Sugar Factory Boss" is now a very powerful player. It is basically impossible to kill elite enemies in the dungeon of the same level as him with a single attack. The most important thing is that the cooldown time of Hellfire Rain is the same as that of Sugar Bean Rain. An attack that kills elite monsters once a minute is undoubtedly powerful.

If the staff was upgraded, it might be more powerful, but unfortunately, it only had one growth level, which was a pity for the "sugar factory owner". However, if he was asked to find another growth weapon, he would still refuse. Although it was powerful, the growth task was too time-consuming and difficult.

However, there are also some players who have growth weapons. Their growth tasks are not so outrageous, but they are not easy either. However, almost all players who use growth weapons will eventually stop at a certain stage, because the growth tasks at that time are impossible for them to complete. Moreover, if they encounter other better weapons, players will still replace the growth weapons as soon as possible. After all, compared with unstable things, those conventional weapons are more reliable. Even those players who still keep growth weapons will hardly use them as their main weapons. Most of them regard them as a weird and useless prop and use them a few times.

So growth weapons may be powerful after they grow to a certain power, but the number of players who really use them as their main weapons can be counted on one hand, and they will replace them as soon as they have the chance to get other weapons. They will either throw them away directly or put them in the auction house at a very low price. The auction house in the Infinite City has no time limit and no limit on the number of items on the shelves, so in fact, you can see a large number of growth weapons in the auction house. Based on this point of view, although the players say that they are difficult to obtain in the discussion, it should still be acceptable.

Han Zu, who was planning to get some growth-type weapons, naturally went to the auction house in the Infinite City as soon as possible. There were quite a lot of growth-type weapons, but most of them were professional weapons that mainly relied on skill output. For example, gunners, melee professions, or tank professions that relied on weapons had very few growth-type weapons. After all, they were not like other professions. They had very high requirements for the reliability of weapons, so naturally they would not use those growth-type weapons, and of course they would not take the initiative to look for them.

Because of this, Han Zu did not find suitable professional weapons in the auction house. It was not that he did not find any weapons, but they did not meet Han Zu's expectations. The degree of growth was very low, only about level one or two, and such weapons could not support high-intensity combat. So Han Zu planned to get a few weapons from the dungeon. After searching on the player forum, he found several dungeons that seemed to have relevant weapons.

Recently, Infinite Company and the Feidenan Family have not made any moves, so Han Zu naturally has plenty of time. He plans to go through them one by one, maybe he can find a suitable growth weapon. Even if he doesn't find anything, he will just treat it as a normal upgrade. Han Zu wrote down the names of these dungeons and began to try them one by one. The first dungeon he tried was a dungeon called "Xinshan City".

The background story of the Johor Bahru dungeon is not new, but it is not old-fashioned either. Johor Bahru is a unique city. Its uniqueness lies in that the residents living in Johor Bahru are basically scientific researchers. Although there are citizens of other professions, most of them are scientific researchers. In addition, the strangest place in Johor Bahru is the two prisons. These two prisons are impregnable and equipped with the highest level of security systems, but there is no prisoner in them, and even every cell is empty.

What is even more strange is that even if there is a crime in Johor Bahru, the criminals who should be sent to prison will not be sent to these two prisons, but will go to the prison in the neighboring city with great effort. The terrain of Johor Bahru is also very strange. It is a city built on the top of a mountain. The nearest neighboring city is 300 kilometers away, even without counting the vertical distance. Due to the unique geographical location of Johor Bahru, most of the routes are winding mountain roads, which has led to many incidents of prisoners escaping.

All this information is what people who have been to Johor Bahru have brought back, but in the background story of the dungeon, the people who tell these stories are often prisoners who escaped from Johor Bahru, so the authenticity is not reliable. But the strange thing is that even if these people openly say that they are prisoners who escaped from Johor Bahru, the police in their city will not arrest them. And it is also strange that as long as these prisoners successfully escape and arrive in other cities, they have never committed crimes again.

The situation in Johor Bahru naturally aroused the curiosity of many people, but when they wanted to go to Johor Bahru, they were often blocked outside the city. Only police officers could enter and leave Johor Bahru, not even the army. The curiosity about Johor Bahru naturally grew day by day in the hearts of residents in surrounding cities. But when they asked those prisoners who claimed to have escaped from Johor Bahru for details, their behavior was surprisingly consistent, either avoiding the topic or keeping silent. Gradually, Johor Bahru was shrouded in a veil of mystery.

This vague background story of the dungeon naturally aroused Han Zu's curiosity, which is also the reason why this dungeon was ranked first. Without thinking too much, Han Zu opened the dungeon option, selected a solo team, and then entered the Johor Bahru City dungeon.

Not long after, Han Zu saw the opening animation of Xinshan City. The protagonist of the animation was a rookie policeman who had just graduated from the police academy. He was in his early twenties, very young, and looked inexperienced. Since the police academy, this young man was very curious about Xinshan City and always wanted to take a look. However, he never had the opportunity, so this became a regret for the rookie.

However, half a year after he started working, the bureau received a mission, which was to escort 15 serious criminals to Johor Bahru. This excited the rookie so much that he immediately volunteered to take on the mission. However, what he didn't notice was that, except for him and a few other rookie policemen, none of his colleagues who had worked for more than a year wanted to take on the mission. Not only that, they even found excuses to avoid the mission, and some of their excuses were outrageous.

On the morning of the mission, there were only four policemen waiting outside the prison, including the rookie. Except for an old policeman who was about to retire, the other three were rookies. The least experienced among them was the protagonist of the animation. He didn't quite understand why there were only four policemen escorting 15 serious criminals, and when they left the police station in the old policeman's police car, other colleagues looked at them as if they were dead.

However, the rookie just thought that other experienced colleagues did not approve of their performance, so he made up his mind to complete the task of escorting the prisoners smoothly, so he did not think about the problems.

As the prison gate opened, four policemen entered the prison, followed by fully armed prison guards into the area where serious criminals were held, and began to check the identities of the fifteen prisoners to be escorted one by one. When the last prisoner was checked, the opening animation officially ended, and the dungeon process officially began.

"Alright rookies, there's only one left. As long as we confirm his identity, we can get going... Haha, get going. Hahahaha!"

The old policeman who was about to retire seemed to be amused by his own words and laughed at an inappropriate time. However, the fully armed prison guards around him said nothing after seeing his performance. They just shook their heads, knocked on the iron bars of the last cell, and continued their work.

"Adenauer! It's time to go traveling! Turn your back to the cell door and put your hands out of the food delivery port!"
