Catastrophe Card King

Otherwise, not keeping the spoils all to myself could avoid unnecessary trouble.

Many hunters came here for this space, the entrance fee of twenty thousand, although substantial for ordinary people,

Was still a small investment that could yield large returns.

The output from the Greedy Mining Well was considerable.

Skill Cards, rare ores, werewolf materials, ancient potion formulas… If they could get a Skill Card, twenty thousand could turn into a million. Or they could win rare materials, special items, etc. from the lottery. The higher the disaster level of the space, the better the rewards at the end would be.

There was no lack of such luck, where people got rare things through the lottery, even though their completion evaluation was low.

They became rich overnight.

Thinking about those lucky ones, Leonard Churchill glanced at the girl with the bun hairstyle standing in front of him with a slightly strange expression.

Tracy Garcia seemed to notice and turned her head back, blinking: “What’s up?” Leonard Churchill shook his head and smiled: “Nothing.”

As they collected money, someone at the table was explaining precautions for entering the space.

“Ladies and gentlemen, let me make it clear, the D-level difficulty of the Greedy Mme Cave is locked. We are now entering at the C-level, which currently has a mortality rate of about 20%. Take that into consideration before entering. Don’t blame us, the Black Wolf Group, for being unfair if there are any problems.”

Leonard Churchill listened without showing any unusual expressions. Whether it was C-level or D-level, both were just moderate difficulties for him. Actually, he was thinking about something else when he heard about the mortality rate.

You could repeatedly enter the Alternate Dimension as long as you didn’t get an “S rating.”

But you couldn’t do it infinitely.

It seemed that the space itself had a hidden judging mechanism.

The essence was to encourage hunters to obtain treasures through adventuring,

Instead of greedily exploiting any existing bugs to make money.

If you reused a space too many times, it might disappear, or as in this case, the lower-level difficulties got locked, and trying to enter them would trigger unexpected situations”, causing massive casualties…

Leonard had recently read quite a lot about the Alternate Dimension.

He had also discovered something very strange.

Theoretically, the Alternate Dimension was just like a game duplication. The more you played, the more information you got, the lower the difficulty became.

So once you got enough information, you could even get through the game without any casualties at all, and the mortality rate would become lower and lower.

But in reality, it was just the opposite.

Any Alternate Dimension, as long as it was repeatedly entered to gather materials, without triggering any new storyline, there would always be a probability of death.

Even for the lowest level of difficulty, there would still be a certain proportion of people dying.

This “guaranteed” death rate seemed to be a unwritten rule understood amongst all experienced hunters.

And it’s also the main reason why hunting groups were recruiting outsiders to explore with them.

The person from the Black Wolf Group continued the explanation:

We will assign a team to enter the space with everyone, but we will not interfere with your actions. A friendly reminder, this is a team mode, to survive till the end, it’s best not to act on your own. Furthermore, do not accidentally trigger hidden storylines to increase the mainline difficulty. If you discover any special storylines, be sure to report them to your temporary team leader as soon as possible. Of course, if you provide information that is valuable, our group will reward you, with up to a million…”

Our main mission this time is to explore the second level of the mine. Everyone must make sure to bring back a piece of iron ore with a quality of 17 or above when you come out. Otherwise, we will charge an additional hundred thousand as an entry fee.”

“One last reminder. This Alternate Dimension is in a magical story mode, only revolvers and ordinary bullets are allowed. The space rules prohibit the use of any mechanical equipment beyond the era’s technological level.”

This was Leonard’s first time participating in this kind of paid exploration.

He listened intently to the rules.

“Quality 17 Iron Ore” would probably only be found in specific locations.

This effectively deterred those who only wanted to take advantage of the situation without risking anything.

As for reporting any special storylines encountered and offering to buy new information, clearly, this was the Black Wolf Group’s small scheme.

They encouraged hunters to explore high-risk areas to increase the exploration rate, and at the same time, they also increased their information bank.

In the end, the person added: “If anyone needs information, you can buy it from me. How to trigger side stories, which tasks can get what materials, we have all the detailed information here.”

There are three tiers of information priced at thirty thousand, sixty thousand, and a hundred thousand.

The content greatly varied.

Though each time you entered would randomly trigger some ‘episodes,’ the main storyline was more or less the same.

Information meant survival rate and return rate.

The mortality rate for the first-tier Curse Card Master is not low in this Greedy Mine Cave, nobody dared to be careless.

So, aside from the entrance ticket, everyone would also spend a good amount on information.

Leonard’s goal was to acquire silver material, which could easily cost up to a million on the market, and the cost of this information was a necessary expenditure.

Not to mention, Camilla had shown him the difference between having information and not having it during their adventure in Space 407.

Tracy Garcia and the other two also had the same idea.

So the four of them bought a hundred thousand worth of information.

Leonard did not take advantage of anyone or try to show off his wealth, and shared a quarter of the cost of the information.

Not just them, but almost everyone, even if they formed smaller groups, would buy the most detailed information.

The Black Wolf Group made another million in an instant from selling information.

After everyone rushed to buy the information, Leonard suddenly felt that since everyone had the same information now, it didn’t seem worth that much money anymore.

Soon after they quickly skimmed through the information, the group arrived at a cave next to the camp..
