Chapter 750: Safe Floor

As a special monster, although the LV4 Goliath has no special abilities, its power is quite strong. The greatsword in its hand can even cut an ordinary LV4 monster in half in an instant.

And the tough skin in front of Wood is like a virtual thing, which is also the strength of Goliath.

Because of Goliath's tough skin, it is difficult for adventurers of lower levels to cause any damage to Goliath, let alone kill him.

This also led to Goliath not being afraid of facing a large number of adventurers watching, because even if there are many adventurers, if they cannot cause damage to him, they are just ants in front of him.

To cause effective damage to Goliath, at least you have to be an adventurer of the same LV4 level, or an adventurer of LV3 with a magic weapon.

As for LV2 and LV1 below LV3, there is no need to think about it, because at this level, even if you hold a magic weapon, you will not be able to pierce Goliath's skin due to insufficient strength attributes.

In addition to the tough skin, Goliath actually has a physical characteristic that Wood does not know.

That is, Goliath is not only huge in size, but also has a very strong body recovery ability.

In other words, Goliath has a certain degree of self-healing ability and extremely high endurance.

Tough skin, self-healing ability and super high endurance, Goliath is destined to be not an easy bone to chew.

If you want to defeat this floor master, the advantage of numbers is meaningless. The best way is to form an elite team to attack it, because Goliath's self-healing ability has no advantage in group battles and protracted battles.

Of course, because Wood faced Goliath, the final choice was to behead him with a knife, so Goliath's so-called "self-healing" ability naturally had no chance to show at all.

After all, the "self-healing" ability is not "regeneration", it is just a lower-level ability of rapid recovery.

Even if it is the "regeneration" ability, it must be a very high-level regeneration ability to ensure that it can continue to survive after the head is chopped off.

So, Goliath, the floor master of the 17th floor, is really not weak. The reason why you think his strength is too weak is just because Wood himself is too abnormal.

After killing the floor master of the 17th floor, Wood quickly entered the 18th floor according to the map in his hand.

Compared with the previous floors, when Wood entered the 18th floor, he was soon stunned by the scene in front of him.

Unlike the previous floors, there are a large number of buildings on the 18th floor, and there are more adventurers here than all the previous floors combined!

Although it is called a floor of the dungeon, it looks more like a small town.

"Look at the reaction of that little ghost. It is another bumpkin who came to the safe floor for the first time. This expression and reaction are quite interesting no matter how many times you see it."

"You are still making fun of him. When you first came to the safe floor, your expression was even worse than others, right?"

"It's so annoying! I was young back then."

"You are young? You see he is much younger than you, and he came in alone. Do you know what this means?

Although it is a strange little ghost, it is probably the person of the big family. You'd better be more virtuous and don't offend people you can't afford to offend."

The so-called "safe floor" is a special floor in the dungeon, just like the floor where the floor owner appears.

Because this floor will not produce monsters and is completely free of danger, it is called a "safe floor".

Since monsters will not be refreshed, many adventurers who enter the dungeon do not want to return to the ground for the time being, so they will choose the safe floor to rest.

Over time, many smart people have discovered business opportunities, so they built buildings on the 18th floor.

After many years, more and more buildings stand here, and the facilities such as taverns, hotels, weapon shops, etc. are gradually improved, which also leads to the formation of a new adventurer town "Rivera" on the 18th floor.

Adventurers who can come to "Rivera" are all high-level adventurers, because even if there is no floor master blocking the way, to get here, at least LV2 strength is required.

Before, people in the town saw Wood's strange young face, but did not dare to underestimate him, because Wood entered the safe floor alone.

To successfully arrive here, even LV2 adventurers generally need to form a team, and Wood can come here alone, either indicating that he is strong and can walk here even if he is alone, or his teammates died on the way.

But from Wood's state, he does not look embarrassed at all, so it is obviously impossible to be the latter.

This also indirectly shows that the quality of adventurers who can reach the "safe floor" is completely different from that of adventurers in the central square on the ground.

"Brother, this is your first time on the safe floor. Do you need some supplies? I can give you the best price."

Like the central square on the ground, there are many vendors on the 18th floor of the safe floor. Wood had just entered the floor and was quickly greeted by a vendor on the side.

When Wood saw what the other party was selling, he couldn't help but sighed: "Damn, it's so expensive!"

Because the adventurers who can reach the safe floor are all high-level adventurers, the quality and level of the items and props sold here are naturally much better than those in the central square on the ground.

But the price is really expensive. Even if the quality and effect are the same as those on the ground, the price on this safe floor is almost half more than that on the central square.

"Are you sure the price is correct? The same supplies, if they were in the central square, this price would be pure black market!"

From the 1st floor to the 18th floor, including killing the floor master Goliath, Wood himself did not consume much, but even so, he was still shocked by the prices on the safe floor.

"Brother, it seems that this is your first time to come to the safe floor. The price of my things in the safe floor is definitely good value for money.

You can take a look at other supplies, such as this kind of supplies, the selling price of that is 30% more expensive than mine?

Those hotels and inns are even more expensive. If you don't spend more than three times the price, don't even think about eating and staying overnight in the safe floor."

"The prices in the safe floor are like this, and there are always people complaining, but why do you think the prices here are so high?

Brother can arrive here alone, so he should be considered a powerful adventurer. Then I want to ask you, how long did it take to get here from the first floor? The supplies on your body should have been used up, right?"

Listening to what the vendor said, looking at the adventurer who had just arrived here like him, looking exhausted and reluctant to buy high-priced supplies, Wood immediately understood what the vendor meant.

"So that's how it is. The reason why the prices here are so high is that they calculated that the adventurers who arrived here would consume a lot of supplies, so they had to replenish and rest here?

The adventurers who arrived here consumed a lot of supplies. Either they could only return to the ground by the same route, or if they wanted to continue exploring the underground city, they could only be slaughtered obediently."

Hearing what Wood said, the vendor who had just greeted him was immediately a little unhappy.

"Brother, what you said is a bit harsh. What do you mean by being slaughtered obediently? This is called a willing fight and a willing fight.

And brother, do you think that for us vendors and the taverns and hotels here, we have no expenses?

This is an underground city! Although this floor is a safe floor, we have to bear certain risks and consumption when we come here from the ground with supplies across the 17th floor.

Don't think that this place looks like a town, but at the beginning, there was nothing here. It was built by those powerful followers with a lot of manpower and time."

Is it the factor of transportation difficulty and geographical environment? After listening to the vendor's explanation, Wood was relieved.

It is true that what they said makes a lot of sense. It is a huge cost for ordinary adventurers to arrive here, let alone for the merchants here.

Although it is a safe floor, it does not grow supplies by itself. It is very difficult to transport all kinds of things from the ground to here. It is normal that the prices are higher than those on the ground.

"Speaking of which, brother, I have chatted with you for a long time. Don't you plan to buy something from me to thank me?"

The merchant brother looked at Wood who had fallen silent, and asked with a somewhat flattering expression.

That's right, the reason why he approached Wood and chatted for so long was that he hoped that Wood would support his business. Otherwise, Wood was not a beautiful woman, so why would he be so enthusiastic about a big man?

"Supplies, I don't need them for the time being. Brother, do you have a map of the dungeon here?"

Counting the time it took to arrive at the eighth floor with Bell and the time to defeat the floor master Goliath, Wood has spent less than three hours since entering the dungeon, so he naturally doesn't need supplies at all.

However, thinking of what Liu said before, that the safe floor sells maps of the lower dungeon, Wood is interested in it.

"Map of the dungeon? Map of the lower floor (25th to 36th floor)?"

Wood was able to come to the safe floor on the 18th floor, so the vendor knew that he had a map of the middle dungeon, so the map he wanted to buy now could only be the map of the lower floor.

However, looking at Wood's look, the vendor was also a little surprised. It was the first time he saw someone rushing to buy a map of the lower dungeon after entering the 18th floor.

"Not only the map of the lower floor, if there is a map of the deeper dungeon, if the price is right, I want to buy it too."

The vendor was quite surprised that an adventurer who entered the safe floor for the first time wanted to buy a map of the lower dungeon, but he never thought that in addition to the map of the lower floor, Wood actually planned to buy a map of the deeper floor.

"Little brother, listen to my advice. You are so young and you can reach the safe floor by yourself, which is really amazing.

But don't be too ambitious. The dungeon is not as simple as you think. I have the map of the lower floor here. Of course, I can sell it to you, but I hope you don't run to die directly because of impulse."

After the vendor glanced at Wood in front of him, he quickly said this in a serious tone.

He has seen too many young people like Wood in these years.

After gaining rare and powerful abilities or skills due to grace, they treated the dungeon as a joke, and began to be pretentious, always wanting to explore deeper floors, but in the end they all lost their lives in vain.

After hearing the vendor's advice, Wood was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the vendor, whom he had thought was a black marketeer, was unexpectedly a good person.

"Don't worry, brother. I bought the map of the lower level of the dungeon just because I will use it sooner or later. I will not go to the lower area to take risks immediately."

"Just know the risks. The map of the lower level of the dungeon is 150,000 fares. The price I give you is definitely the best price on the 18th floor.

If I didn't see that you have a future and wanted to do you a favor, other people would not be priced at this price at all."

The map of the upper level of the dungeon is 1,800 fares, the map of the middle level is only 10,000 or 20,000, and the map of the lower level has skyrocketed to 150,000 in one breath.

However, Wood was not scared by this price, because he had learned from Liu before about the specific market price of the dungeon map.

The price of 150,000 fares is comparable to the price sold in the central square on the ground, but the map sold on the safe floor is much more detailed than the one on the ground.

Yesterday, he just received 800,000 fares. After deducting the money for Bell's equipment and his own weapons, Wood now has about 100,000 fares left.

For the remaining part, Wood can only take out the gains from the previous floor as collateral.

Magic stones are hard currency in Orario, and the vendor brother did not refuse. However, when converting the magic stones and materials handed over by Wood into fares, the vendor brother also said: "Brother, don't say that I'm cheating you. If you take the magic stones and materials here to the Adventurer Guild on the ground, you can exchange about 120,000 fares.

But in Rivera, it will also be reduced by about 30%, which means that there are about 80,000 fares left. Are you sure you still want to convert it?"

When Wood heard that the purchase price of magic stones and materials on the safe floor was also much lower than on the ground, he just thought about it and understood the reason.

Although the dungeon is similar to an RPG game, the adventurers here are not real players, and there is no such thing as a space warehouse.

Magic stones and various dropped items are also equivalent to burdens for them, so in order to avoid exploring the next floor with too heavy a burden, adventurers often deal with their gains here.

The purchase price of magic stones and other dropped items will be reduced, which is the same as the material supply, because the vendors and followers who purchase these magic stones and materials also need to consume manpower and material resources to bring the items back to the ground, and bear a certain share.

After understanding the reason, Wood also expressed his understanding, and also gave the previous gains to the vendor at 70% of the price.
