Chapter 206 - 150: New Dungeon, Burton’s Words

The competition between the players was, of course, nothing but beneficial for Luo Ge.

His Wax Oil reserves were shooting up.

’Time to open some new dungeons.’

Luo Ge stood up and left the Spirit Candle Space.

"Bobo?"

Xiaoluo blinked, tilting its head as it watched Luo Ge’s receding back.

...

After the Spirit Fire Port was promoted to Tier Three, the biggest upgrade for the players was the Spirit Fire Sail.

But for Luo Ge, the enhancement of the Traction Fire was clearly more important.

After this promotion of the Traction Fire, the information on the discovered regions became more comprehensive, and the chaotic zones it could pull in also grew larger.

This time, Luo Ge was no longer satisfied with just some minor, out-of-the-way islands.

He wanted to find some larger chaotic zones.

First, they could accommodate more players. Second, they would significantly increase the rate of exploration.

However, since he had decided to improve the quality of the exploration zones, he would have to slightly reduce their quantity.

Otherwise, Luo Ge might not have time to keep an eye on everything.

After searching several times, he finally stopped.

[Searching for regions...]

[Search successful. Four regions have been marked.]

[Region One: Skeleton Forest (Small land-island. Requires 9,874 Wax Oil to pull. Danger Level: High)]

[Region Two: Gael’s Depression (Requires 7,640 Wax Oil to pull. Danger Level: High)]

[Region Three: Wailing Strait (Requires 6,371 Wax Oil to pull. Danger Level: High)]

[Region Four...]

’These are large regions, and they’re hiding more than one powerful aura...’

’The repulsion from the space is also very strong...’

After getting a general sense of the first two dungeons, Luo Ge opened his eyes and touched the Traction Fire.

[Confirming traction for Region One...]

[Confirming traction for Region Two...]

An ethereal giant anchor flew out, and a gate of Gray Mist materialized.

The islands, now anchored, all began to tremble.

For now, he had only pulled two dungeons.

They were two large dungeons, after all. It wouldn’t be too late to pull others once these were fully explored.

After completing the anchoring, Luo Ge’s figure gradually vanished.

Meanwhile, a new notification appeared before the players’ eyes.

[Attention: The new regions "Skeleton Forest" and "Gael’s Depression" are now unlocked and open to all players!]

It was daytime, so naturally, some players on Candle Island had noticed the movements of Luo Ge, the Candlekeeper.

Upon seeing the game notification, their anticipation turned into excitement and fervor.

"Alright! New dungeons are open!"

"What are you talking about? It’s just a new prison. A different place to do our time..."

"I’m fucking setting sail right now!"

"Oh, come on! I just finished unlocking all the basic functions. I was just about to run the old dungeons, and now they’ve opened new ones."

Some of the newer players even started to grumble resentfully.

Due to their own limited strength, they already struggled with the old dungeons.

And so far, every new dungeon in Spirit Candle had followed the pattern of being harder than the last.

If players who had only recently started the game insisted on overestimating themselves and challenging the new dungeons, they would probably face the same humiliating fate as Brother Wudi, unable to back down...

...

"Redemption! I must have redemption!"

Brother Mangzi, who had been camping out in Sea Zone One for ages with nothing to show for it, also saw the game notification.

"Let’s go! We have to be the first to clear these two new dungeons and prove ourselves!"

A furious fire burned in Brother Mangzi’s eyes.

Lately, he had been forced to watch as he went from being the leading player of the Frenzy Battle Stream to a mere measuring stick for combat power...

One could only imagine the suffocating frustration this brought him.

As a member of the "Blood for Blood" squad, Black Mountain Little Demon wholeheartedly agreed with Brother Mangzi.

He was a completely different person from just a few days ago!

Both his armor and his Weapon were brand new, and he practically reeked of money.

’...I have a feeling being with you guys is just asking for bad luck...’ Bu Long grumbled to himself.

The three of them had been camping in Sea Zone One for days. They had killed several Deep Sea Worms and even spent a fortune to reset the dungeon.

But forget the Firewood Thief, Pottery Man—they hadn’t even caught a glimpse of the Touch in the Jar...

"Move out!"

Brother Mangzi roared.

...

"Oh, new dungeons are open." Li Miao, who had just hauled in a good catch, was also delighted.

"Then let’s go. What are you standing around for? Set sail," Shore urged, already impatient.

"By the way, Skyrim, want to come with us? What level are you now?" Hearing this, Li Miao, who was about to depart, suddenly looked over at Gray Sky.

At the very least, when they were exploring the waters near Seaside Town, they had seen Gray Sky appear on the town’s coast from time to time and thought he was stalking them.

Li Miao had even been a little scared for a while.

But when the two of them finished exploring and were on their way back, they discovered... Gray Sky was actually lost in Seaside Town...

While this lifted a huge weight from Li Miao’s shoulders, he also couldn’t help but find the situation exasperatingly funny.

However, Skyrim seemed to be very concerned with his pride. He absolutely refused to admit he was lost, insisting he was just "admiring the scenery."

Coupled with his calm, slightly cold demeanor... if Li Miao hadn’t seen him mix up left and right with his own eyes, he might have actually believed him.

This gave Li Miao a rough idea of what he was like.

In terms of game mechanics, Gray Sky was probably on par with Faraway, but when it came to exploration... having a terrible sense of direction was a fatal flaw.

After figuring out the whole story, the kind-hearted Li Miao often helped him with directions. Since they happened to be going the same way today, and with the new dungeons just released, he naturally thought to ask him along.
