Chapter 652 Grain Depot

Chapter 652 "Grain Storehouse"

The so-called food warehouse refers to the supply space given to monsters by the dungeon.

Although monsters are born from dungeons, they are also living things.

If it is life, it will be thirsty, hungry, and want to drink water and eat.

Most of the monsters in the dungeon need to drink and eat. Only non-living monsters such as earthlings can avoid this need.

Thus, the Grain Bank was born.

There are nutrients and food that monsters need, so monsters that need water and food can use the resources to survive.

Monsters basically take in the liquid provided by the mother body of the dungeon to fill their stomachs. Only some monsters will hunt adventurers for food, or they will kill each other and eat the flesh of other monsters.

There are food depots like this on every floor of the dungeon, and there are more than one. However, they are all located on the outermost edge of the floor, so few adventurers will deviate from the main route and run to the food depot. go.

Yasi Fei told Li Ge that there was something wrong with the food warehouse on the 24th floor.

"This is what the mysterious magician told us." Asfi said to Li Ge: "He said that the same incident happened on the 30th floor in the past, just because the 30th floor is the lower floor and can be reached There are only a handful of adventurers there, so the news was controlled by the guild and did not spread widely."

"At that time, the sudden increase in monsters was suspected to be related to the food depot on the 30th floor."

"The magician also said that the members of the Ganesha Familia he entrusted found the suspicious item there and brought the item to the 18th floor."

In this case, the monster surge on the 24th floor is likely to be the same as on the 30th floor, and the problem lies in the food depot.

"Then... let's go to the food warehouse?"

Ais checked with Asfi.

"That's right." Yasifei nodded and said, "Since the problem is most likely to lie in the grain depot, it is natural to start the investigation from the grain depot."

At this point, Asifei changed her tone.

"The question now is that there are three grain depots on the 24th floor, located in the southwest, southeast and north. Which grain bureau should we start investigating?"

The reason why I say this is because the 24th floor is very large.

The further you go down, the higher the number of floors and the further away from the surface, the larger the floor area in the dungeon will be.

The 24th floor is the middle floor, but the area there is already half of the total area of ​​Gloria.

In such a vast space, it would take a lot of effort to investigate all three grain depots and take into account the time when encountering monsters.

Not to mention, the 19th to 24th floors are areas known as the "Big Tree Maze". Not only do they have complex natural scenery, but the roads are also intricate. When walking here, sometimes you may even lose track of the direction. It's unclear, let alone investigating the three food depots located on the edge of the floor.

If you want to investigate all three grain depots, it will definitely take a long time.

Asfi planned to avoid this, so she planned to select one of the three grain depots to investigate.

If selected, it can save most of the time, labor and even materials.

If you don't choose, it may take a long time.

"This is the problem we are currently facing, and it is also all the information we currently have." Yasi Fei looked at Li Ge and said, "What do you think?"

Ais also looked at Li Ge.

Regarding this…

"Let's go to the food depot in the north."

Li Ge actually answered without any hesitation.

"...can I ask why?"

Yasifei was speechless for a while, and then she asked.

"There's no reason." Li Ge shook his head and said, "Just intuition."

intuition?

Including Asfi, all the adventurers present except Ais were speechless.

This answer is too unreliable, right?

Everyone who thought this way didn't know that Li Ge was not unreliable, but he directly grasped the most standard answer.

No way, who made him familiar with the plot of the original work?

He knew very well that the food warehouse where the accident occurred on the 24th floor was the one to the north. He even knew exactly what was happening in that food warehouse.

Therefore, Li Ge made this decision directly.

"You don't have any ideas anyway, so just follow my intuition."

The words with a calm expression made Asfi sigh again.

...I always feel like [The Almighty One] usually works very hard and is used to sighing.

After seeing this scene, Ais was a little distracted thinking about such things.

"Since you said so, let's start the investigation from the grain depot in the north." Yasifei said in a helpless tone, shrugging her shoulders: "For this commission, you are the ones on our side. As the main combat force, our position is to assist you.”

Hearing this, Aisi cautiously interjected.

"Are you okay?" Ais whispered: "The 24th floor is already the floor closest to the lower floor..."

Floors 1 to 12 are the upper floors of the dungeon.

The 13th to 24th floors are the middle floors of the dungeon.

The 25th to 36th floors are the ending of the dungeon.

The 37th floor and above are the deep layers of the dungeon.

In this case, although the 24th floor is a middle floor, it is the floor closest to the lower floor.

In short, the level of monsters raging there is not low.

The guild's recommended strategy level for the 24th floor is the highest level of Lv. 2, that is, at least one basic ability must reach the C-S stage.

At the same time, because monsters emerge from the middle layer much faster than the upper layer, the monsters that appear in the 19th to 24th floors, known as the "Big Tree Maze", are also famously diverse in each layer. There are all kinds of strange monsters, so the guild also strongly advises adventurers whose abilities meet the guide standard to form a team before exploring.

If all team members can meet the standard ability values ​​of the recommended strategy, then it is best to form a three-person team.

Forward, central defender, defender... There must be one adventurer responsible for each position.

But the leaders of the Hermes Familia are all at Level 2, and the highest level of the members within the Familia is only Level 2, with most of them being at Level 1.

Is it possible for such a team of adventurers to explore the 24th floor?

Aisi expressed her worries about this point in a subtle way.

However……

"Don't worry about them."

Li Ge dropped another shock bomb from the side.

"All members of the Hermes Familia lied about their official levels, so their levels are much higher than what was announced, especially the [Almighty One] herself. She is not Lv. 2, but Lv. 4."

As soon as these words came out, the adventurers in the entire tavern immediately stood up again.

Their faces were full of shock and confusion, and they looked at a loss.

Ais also blinked, and her eyes changed when she looked at the adventurers present.

"H-how did you know...!?"

Yasi Fei also lost her calm and started to waver.

Obviously, what Li Ge said was true.

It is true that all members of the Hermes Familia lied about their official ranks.

Just like Li Ge and Ace, each upgrade must be reported to the guild, and the guild will notify it. In order to divide the strength indicators of each faction, the guild has the right to master the levels of all adventurers in Orario. Adventurers They are also obliged to disclose level information to the guild so that the guild can issue adventurer commissions or mandatory tasks in case of emergencies to protect the safety of the city.

Of course, only the level is made public, and other detailed personal information such as basic abilities, development abilities, magic, and skills are not obligated to be reported to the guild.

Detailed personal ability information is confidential, let alone making it public, even within the same family, it is necessary to conceal it to a certain extent to avoid being targeted and endangering oneself.

Only the level must be reported and cannot be taken carelessly.

This is also to collect taxes from the major dependent families.

As the official management body of Orario, the guild naturally has the right to collect taxes from the major families living in the city.

Some taxes are high, some are low, it all depends on the level of the dependent family.

Yes, the family members also have levels.

The guild will classify the major families in the city based on comprehensive factors such as their size and activity content. The major families in the city will be divided into S, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G according to the ability items of God's Favor. , H, I ten levels.

The higher the level, the higher the family's status in Orario. While they can enjoy various privileges, they also have to pay more taxes.

For this reason, some dependents will deliberately lie about the level of members in order to lower the level of the dependents and avoid paying more taxes.

Of course, there are also some dependents who choose the same approach for other reasons.

Hermes Familia is one of them.

In other words, no matter what the purpose is, the Hermes Familia who lied about the membership level and deliberately lowered the family level were evading taxes.

If the guild finds out about this, they will definitely be punished, ranging from a fine to a serious possibility of being expelled from Orario.

The Hermes Familia are obviously the type who lie particularly well.

The leader of the group, Yasi Fei, had a public level of Lv. 2, but it turned out to be Lv. 4.

The same goes for the members of the Hermes Familia present, most of whom are actually Level 3.

"It must be for this reason that the mysterious magician affiliated with the guild caught you and asked you to assist us in carrying out this commission, right?"

Li Ge ignored Asifei's wavering and the confusion of the adventurers around him, and smiled faintly.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. As you said, we are the main combat force this time. You can just help us."

"Ais and I will be responsible for the battle."

"As for the investigation into the cause, it's up to you, okay?"

Faced with what Li Ge said, Yasifei was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed for the first time today.

"I see."

Yasifei regained her composure, found her own pace, nodded, and agreed to Li Ge's plan.

"Then, let's go."

Li Ge seemed to see the magic book he wanted flying over, and a smile that was no longer indifferent finally appeared on his face.

"Target, level 24."
