As a newcomer to "Sword Maiden Online", after the initial test and selection, they had to enter the initial dungeon. According to the completion and perfection of the dungeon, they would get different initial Sword Maidens, as well as some small rewards.
As a newcomer, they had to go through this dungeon, and it was also the dungeon with the most strategy posts … After hundreds of years of continuous development, the internet had long been filled with all kinds of detailed strategies and methods to clear the dungeon. It could be called a fool-level strategy … Even a fool could easily clear the dungeon as long as he followed the steps in the strategy.
In fact, even if you did nothing, you could still clear the dungeon. There was no possibility of failure in this dungeon. For hundreds of years, the success rate for newcomers was as high as 100%.
On the other hand, the SSS rating of this instance dungeon was forever stuck at 0% … For hundreds of years, not a single newbie had managed to raise the rating of this instance dungeon to the SSS rating. Even for the lower SS rating, only one person had managed to reach such a high level.
A series of indicators such as the damage suffered by the player in the dungeon, the damage dealt, the time taken to clear the dungeon, and so on were put together to form the rating after clearing the dungeon. According to the rating, the order was SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, and E, with E being the lowest and SSS the highest.
However, the evaluation criteria for the initial dungeon was very simple. It was only based on one indicator, and that was the time taken to clear the dungeon. If you cleared the initial dungeon within an hour, you would be able to get the highest SSS rating. According to the data published by BAT, the number of people who cleared the initial dungeon with an E rating accounted for 30% of the people who cleared the dungeon … This was because as time passed, the strategy became more and more detailed. Later generations followed the strategy and gradually reduced this percentage. In the first few years of the game, the number of people who cleared the dungeon with an E rating was as high as 85%. It should be known that in most of the commoner dungeons in "Sword Maiden", the number of people who cleared the dungeon with an E rating did not exceed 10%.
After that, it was 20% for the D rating, 40% for the C rating, 7% for the B rating, 2% for the A rating, and only 1% for those above the A rating.
Therefore, the initial dungeon was also known as the most difficult dungeon in history. This meant that this dungeon's difficulty was heaven-defying, but it was impossible to fail.
It was worth mentioning that this Instance Dungeon was different from other Instance Dungeons that could be refreshed. Anyone could only enter the initial Instance Dungeon once upon entering the game. After that, they would not be able to enter the Instance Dungeon again. The first time they refreshed the Instance Dungeon would be their rating for the rest of their life. Even if they surpassed the Godly Sword God, swept away Yuan Kou, and became the world's number one, and all the other Instance Dungeons were SSS rank, if they cleared the initial Instance Dungeon for the first time and got a pitiful E rank, then they would have to bear this E rank rating for the rest of their life, until eternity …
Such cases were not uncommon. At present, the so-called strongest sword-bearer of humanity had also expressed his annoyance at the fact that his initial instance dungeon was only at [E] class. He even expressed his willingness to fork out half of his wealth in exchange for the right to enter the initial instance dungeon again …
This was also the reason why so many people desperately researched this Instance Dungeon's strategy. Since they could not prove themselves with their own rating, they could only prove themselves with the strategy. If someone used their own strategy to refresh the initial instance dungeon and got an A rank or above, then it would indirectly prove that they were not the sword-bearer.
Since the age of eight, Guhan began to collect various strategies for the initial Instance Dungeon. He studied every detail and every step. After ten years of hard work, it could be said that every brick in this Instance Dungeon had been deeply imprinted in Guhan's mind. To put it bluntly, there was probably no one in this world who understood the initial Instance Dungeon better than Guhan.
However, Guhan did not do this to obtain an A rank or above. He did not care about the rating. This kind of empty reputation was meaningless to him. What he cared about was something in this Instance Dungeon.
When talking about the initial Instance Dungeon's rating, many people were filled with resentment.
However, when it came to the things obtained in the initial Instance Dungeon, most people's memories were indifferent. It seemed that other than their own initial Swordmistress, there were no memorable rewards in this Instance Dungeon.
Indeed, even if it was the one and only SS rank, the reward obtained was only the initial Swordmistress. There were three inherent elements. First, there were some beginner's necessities. These things could be bought in the system store for a few dollars. No one would care about these things.
However, Guhan cared. Guhan had a vague guess. If this guess was true, then Guhan would receive an unprecedented reward. A reward that would allow Guhan to surpass all the other beginners. A reward that many people could not obtain even after playing the game for a lifetime.
Guhan had to obtain this reward. This was his only hope to greatly increase his acquired sword essence points.
…
"Welcome to the prologue of" Swordmistress Online ", Yue Wang Gou Jian Jian."
As the system's voice faded, Guhan felt his vision go black. When he saw the light again, he found himself squeezed into a very narrow space. His waist was tightly held by something. His left hand was pressed down, while his right hand could move freely.
Through the light that shone through the cracks above him, he could vaguely see his surroundings. He was surrounded by broken concrete, broken furniture, and all kinds of broken household items … This was a collapsed house, and Gu Han was trapped under it.
System Notification: "Main Quest Refresh: Quest 1: Escape from the ruins of the house. Quest Time: Unlimited."
This was the first predicament that Guhan faced. Escape from the collapsed house.
It seemed that this quest was very difficult.
In the TV, after every earthquake, every trapped survivor would be rescued from the ruins by the firemen outside. It would take more than ten hours and a variety of mechanical equipment. Ordinary people could not rely on their own strength to escape from the ruins.
In fact, everyone was misled by the TV. Most of the survivors relied on their own strength to climb out of the ruins. Moreover, it did not take much time.
Because most of the survivors were buried very shallow, there were not many things that could trap them. They could save themselves by struggling a little.
The survivors that needed to be rescued by the firemen were buried very deep. Such survivors accounted for a very small proportion of the total number of survivors.
When new players entered the dungeon, they would be buried in such a shallow position.
A few hundred years ago, when the game was first released, the newcomers would first use their right hand to move the debris around their left hand, freeing their left hand.
When both hands were free, they could break the bicycle handle that was hugging their waist … This was not difficult, because the bicycle handle itself was already broken in half. An ordinary person could break it with their strength.
After the waist was successfully freed, the player would be surprised to find that their legs were not trapped too tightly. With a little force, they could kick out a small space. What they needed to do next was to follow the direction where the light shone in and throw the ruins in front of them under their feet. They would become their own stepping stones. Step by step, they would climb out of the ruins. The whole process would take about an hour.
As a beginner's dungeon that did not make things difficult for the players, the whole process of escaping was not complicated. There was also nothing that blocked them. Ordinary people could easily escape.
If he was stupid or physically weak, it didn't matter. He just had to wait there patiently without moving. After three hours, a kind-hearted person would find him and rescue him from the outside.
The first mission was very simple, very easy, no pressure at all, right?
It was not wrong for a newbie to think this way, but according to the official information, if one wanted to get an SSS rating, the entire mission had to be done within an hour … If Gu Han had to spend an hour to complete each of the first missions, there would be nothing left to do …
Therefore, many players with SSS rating as their goal kept researching the entire escape process. For example, optimizing the escape process, finding the best route and other methods were also researched. In the end, they could only reduce the time to 20 minutes … This was a result that could only be achieved by those who had experienced escape simulation before entering the game.
Guhan did not do any escape simulation. He did not have time to waste on that kind of thing. Moreover, he had a better way to get out of the ruins.
Guhan quickly wiped his right hand under his armpit, and a handful of one dollar coins appeared in his palm. Next to the coins was a broken savings box. This was the pocket money that a child had saved for a semester. This child was planning to buy a DNF New Year's set.
"Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one … now!"
After Guhan silently counted to seven, he did not hesitate to throw the coin in his hand through the gap above. Then, Guhan quickly lowered his head, closed his eyes tightly, and curled his body as deep as possible into the gap.
Guhan had to do this because in the next second, a blinding laser beam pierced through most of the ruins. The edge of the beam just grazed Guhan's hair as it flew past. If Guhan did not lower his head just now, his head would have been blasted into pieces.
"Oh, there are fish that escaped the net here!"
A hearty female voice like that of a boy sounded in the ruins. She walked to where Guhan was, grabbed Guhan's collar, and gently pulled Guhan out of the ruins.
"So it's a wretched guy …" She glanced at Guhan, who had his eyes closed, and scolded him disdainfully. Then, she gently threw Guhan into the air … It was hard to believe that this girl's arm strength was so strong. She actually threw Guhan, who weighed more than a hundred pounds, over a hundred meters in the air. Then, he drew a beautiful arc in the air, and fell a few kilometers away.
Then, the girl did not hesitate to leave in the opposite direction of where Guhan fell. Guhan was just a sudden situation, and the girl did not intend to go to where he fell. Indeed, she had more important things to do with Guhan's life and death.
