Starting from Zero

"Okay, target Poseidon’s cave, go forward."

Under my command, the teams dispersed to their respective mission locations, and I was Riding the night shadow moved towards my target Poseidon's cave. Prometheus, who was just taken aback by my huge summon number, finally reacted after seeing us dispersed. He quickly waved to his men and ran after me.

"Purple Moon President, President Purple Moon!" While yelling for me to wait, Prometheus quickly urged his mount to catch up. Although Ye Ying didn't run at full capacity, it was a high-level devil beast after all, and it was an existence known for its speed. Even jogging was much faster than a normal war horse. Thanks to the fact that Prometheus's mount is not Mortal Grade, he sprinted for nearly 30 seconds and finally barely tied us.

"Huh?" I deliberately pretended to look towards Prometheus when I just discovered his existence, and then asked: "Didn't I say I don't want your help? Why did I still follow?"

Prometheus explained with a smile: "Oh, it's like this. I just saw you send all the summon creatures out for branch tasks, but you don’t have a helper by your side. I’m afraid you I will be too busy. Looking at the direction of movement, the task you selected by yourself happens to be the most troublesome main task. In addition to combat, there will also be three people in the army that require three people to pull the locks in three positions at the same time to open. The door, and as soon as you let go, the door will fall again. So..."

"So you think there is no one by my side, and I won't be able to complete the task for a while, you want to bring someone to help?"

p>

"Yes, that's what I meant."

After hearing this, I let Night Shadow stop, and then following my thoughts, the Earth Gate suddenly appeared in front of us And it opens automatically. Because I have seen me release Qilin warrior from it before, Prometheus knows this is my summon space. Although the system no longer provides players with exclusive pet space, there are still many people who have space equipment to carry pets, so I am not surprised to see Prometheus, the gate of the earth. However, before he was not surprised just because he didn't see the environment inside the door, but now he couldn't help but not be surprised anymore. Because, just behind the gate of the earth, on a huge and expansive pasture, there are tens of thousands of Qilin warriors. This scale is clearly several times more than the total number of people sent out before.

Originally, Prometheus thought I had sent all the people out, so he had to do the task alone. But it seems that it is not the case at all. Not to mention sending people out, I don't even use half of the team here. Before, there was no one around him because it was too many people to act frequently, not because they thought that no one was available.

"haha, this...that..." I feel like I've made a mistake. Prometheus doesn't know how to tell me now.

Of course I don’t care about his mistakes. They didn’t want to trouble me, they just wanted to help but didn’t find opportunities, so I just consoled him for his mistakes and told him, no They are asked to help because I think there are too many people on this task but it is a bad thing, so I don't want his people to intervene if there are enough people.

Although Prometheus is usually a guy who walks sideways, he still has some brains. He knows that my status and status are different from those who let him bully the low-level complete family, and he also knows that I am doing it now. The matter of "is of great significance to them, so he did not take out the usual brute force, but rationally accepted what I said. Of course, this is a major event related to their interests after all, so he really couldn't bear to let him not participate at all. In the end, he thought for a long time and came up with a compromise, that is, he put all his hands back, and he alone followed me to do the task.

The kindness of rejecting Prometheus before was just for fear of his people getting in the way. Now they are alone, and they also promise that they will never intervene in any tasks without my permission. In this way, I can no longer refuse, so I directly nodded and agreed.

As soon as Prometheus heard that I agreed, he happily dismissed the team, and then followed me to the Poseidon Cave.

The Poseidon Cave is actually not far from the city of Athens, and this place is not on the seashore. To be precise, the location of the entrance to the Poseidon Cave is almost 30 kilometers away from the nearest coastline in a straight line. Although this distance is not too far, it is definitely not close. As for why such a cave located in the interior is called the Poseidon Cave, this mission did not mention it. After all, I am not a native of Greece, and I know everything about local allusions, so I don't know why this cave is called such a name. However, although I don't know, Prometheus might know, after all, he is a local, and he should have some understanding of these things.

"Prometheus, do you know why this sea god cave is called such a name? I look at the map, it seems to be located inland, right?"

I thought Prometheus can answer my questions, but who knows he said in a rather puzzled tone: "Yes! We also felt strange before. In fact, the sea god cave existed a long time ago. It is not a quest transfer map. , But a leveling point. That place is quite crowded, and it is considered a relatively famous leveling area. Regarding its name, many people have guessed before, but they have never found one. A conclusion that can be recognized by everyone. At first we thought that it might be a place like Poseidon’s temple, but as everyone’s level increased, almost all areas in the cave were run by players, and in the end, let alone gods. The temple, I didn’t even find any artificial traces. What’s more important is that the monsters there are all crypt monsters, and there is no sign of marine life at all."

"So you don’t know this sea god. Why is the cave called the Poseidon Cave?"

Prometheus shook his head helplessly: "Although I wanted to figure it out, we really didn't find any clues. But after receiving this quest scroll , We once opened an area that ordinary leveling personnel could not enter. There were artificial traces there, and we went to the end, but we never saw temples and the like, so we still couldn’t figure it out. Why is it called the Poseidon Cave?"

After hearing Prometheus’s explanation, I thought about it for a while before saying: "I think when we figure out why the place is called Poseidon’s Cave, our The task is almost complete!"

"I hope your feeling is wrong, because we haven't figured out the origin of the name for so long, so if it is really what you think, we may I really can't make it!"

For Prometheus, I just laughed indifferent expression, and then I continued on my way. Because of the short distance, we quickly reached the entrance of the Poseidon Cave.

As Prometheus said, this is an open leveling area, and it is also a leveling area with a big difference. From the three-hundred-level monster to the two-thousand-level BOSS monster, you can see all of them here. However, most players actually only practice in the first half of the level. As for the back area, even if someone enters it just for adventure, few people will enter the level. This is mainly because the monster level behind is too high, and most players are temporarily unable to deal with those high level monsters. Secondly, it is also because the passage is too long. There are almost no forks in this Poseidon Cave **, it is completely a road that leads to the end. The 1,000-level monster in the front has been discharged more than ten kilometers away, and it can extend for more than 20 kilometers in the future. With such a long passage, and there are monsters constantly coming and going, it takes too much time to complete the course. Therefore, under normal circumstances, absolutely no one wants to run more than 30 kilometers to fight monsters at the bottom of the hole. Even if the bosses there have a lot of experience, most people don't have the ability to pass. Unless someone like me has reached a level of two thousand or more, and the monster in front has no influence on him at all, no one will struggle to run deep.

Led by Prometheus, we rode directly into the entrance of the Poseidon Cave. Because this place is a large leveling area, the flow of people is very high, and as a place with such a large flow of people, the entrance of the cave naturally cannot be too narrow. In fact, this huge entrance with a span of nearly 15 meters is the narrowest place in the first half of the cave. As soon as it enters the cave, the passage immediately begins to expand to both sides, and the height of the head is also amazing.

There are many oddly shaped stone pillars scattered around the hole**. Their common feature is the thinnest in the middle. The upper and lower ends connecting the top and the ground are thick. I guess they may be the ground. The stalagmites on the top and the stalactites on the top of the cave are too long, and then merge into a connected pillar.

Because of the separation of these pillars, although the entire cave has a huge space, it is not enough to see people everywhere. Everyone is separated by pillars and fights in different areas. As long as the density of people in the same area is not too high, mutual interference will generally not occur. Of course, fighting does not interfere with each other, but robbing each other will definitely happen. After all, the monsters will not pile up the whole cave. Everyone must move around to find the next batch after finishing a batch.

Because there are only low-level monsters in the front part of the hole, and the current patriarch stream group is just over 1,000, so this area is almost all players passing by, as for the limited ones. Those who stay here are basically mobile vendors. After all, the cave is too long. Moreover, it is also some distance away from the city of Athens, so running back and forth for supplies is obviously not cost-effective. Some people would rather spend two more money to supplement their support directly here. In fact, the vendors here are not limited to the entrance of the cave. There are a few people who gather to sell things at almost every distance in the cave. However, according to Prometheus, these people are actually members of a guild, and they belong to the strongest guild in Greece. Other scattered players simply can't grab this kind of business.

I’m not unfamiliar with this kind of territorial occupation. Although our guild has never done it before, it’s because our profit methods are different, but like the Heat League and the Northern Alliance. There are such things. For those sales locations that are not profitable, they let others pay protection fees, which of course are management fees to the outside world. As for the vendors in the profitable areas, they are generally directly responsible for their own internal staff. this can be considered an industry standard.

Prometheus and I ran all the way down the passage, and the players passing by along the way turned their heads and looked towards us curiously. On the one hand, our equipment is so gorgeous, not to mention the Dragon Soul suit on my body, the gorgeous Battle Armor on Prometheus alone is not something ordinary people can wear. Of course, the more important thing is actually the mount. As everyone knows, the familiars in "Zero" have always been scarce supplies that are in short supply, and the creatures that can be used as mounts are basically familiars except war horses. Prometheus and I rode our mounts, and we knew it was not a horse at first glance. Ye Ying's four hooves stepped on the fire, and a ball of fire star spurted out of her nostrils from time to time. With the horn on her head, the fool knew that this was not a horse. As for Prometheus, his mount is a beast-like beast at all, and has nothing to do with horses. Watching us two rushing in the leveling area on such a windy mount, it is like a whistled past supercar on the street. It is naturally as it should be by rights to attract a high rate of return.

Because the first half of the area is not suitable for the current level of the home, there are only passing players, but there are not many people who are really fighting and leveling. However, as we ran all the way in, the number of people who practiced gradually began to increase, and the relative number of runners became less and less. This situation reached its peak when we reached the 1,000-level monster area. Almost every flat area here has a group of people robbing monsters. As long as all kinds of monsters get out of the small holes between the rocks, they will immediately attract a group of people to be beaten.

The strength comparison between monsters and players in "Zero" is not fixed. Before level 1,000, monsters are weaker than players. For example, players at level 300 only need to pay attention. They can basically win singles against monsters at level 400. Although they may hurt a lot in the end, they can win after all. However, if a level 1,000 player encounters a level 1,000 monster, it is just a tie, and the probability of winning or losing is completely half open. If you pass a thousand levels, the effect will be even worse. At this point, the monster's speed with level enhancement will be significantly faster than the player, that is to say, after level one thousand to level two thousand, the best choice for players to see monsters of the same level is Lima to turn around and escape, because there is almost no chance of winning. However, this situation will reach its peak after reaching level 1,500. After 1,500 level, monsters will still be stronger than players of the same level, but the intensity is getting lower and lower, until the level of 2,000 everyone returns. At the same starting line, after 2,000 levels, the situation at level 100 will reappear, and players will once again surpass the strength of monsters. As for the latter situation, although I haven't experienced it, I can roughly guess it. It should look like a cycle of two thousand levels.

Because of this change in strength comparison, most players are now concentrated in the 1,000-level monster area. After all, even if the players are more than 1,000-level, their strength is just being able to single out the same level. monster only. If you want to level up, you must find a monster that is not a big threat to you. Even if you can barely win a heads-up, this kind of monster is not suitable for leveling. After all, leveling is for gaining experience, not for spending money on medicine. Experience.

"Hey, Prometheus, how did you come here?" We were about to pass through this area. Suddenly someone at the edge of the cave called out the name of Prometheus. We couldn't do anything wrong. It didn't stop temporarily, and Prometheus stepped down after seeing the other's face. Seeing the change in his expression, I immediately turned my gaze. To be honest, I'm very curious, who can make the president of the local third largest guild show this expression. (To be continued.
