Chapter 92: A Lucrative Commercial Dungeon, Free for the Taking!

~7 min read 1,321 words

Under normal circumstances, tasks issued within the Soul Professional Guild generally require appraisal by the Soul Profession Office before they can be released.

Moreover, these tasks usually have to go through layer upon layer of screening and review, with the difficulty of the task being roughly assessed by the Appraisal Department, and finally submitted to the Director of the Soul Profession Office, Liu Lanzhi, for final approval.

This is also why the final signatures on those Task Contracts all bear Liu Lanzhi's seal.

To put it plainly, if the Soul Profession Guild did not have the support of the Soul Profession Office, it would, in fact, mostly be unable to operate normally.

There are far too many things within this that Zhou Chu is simply unable to understand or come into contact with.

"Young Master-in-law, it is just that this Copy is truly full of dangers now; many of those who entered before have had no news, you must be very careful." Tu Shu said with a worried look on his face.

Zhou Chu nodded: "Don't worry, Tu Shu, I have it under control!"

Having said that, Zhou Chu stepped forward and walked into the Dungeon Teleportation Gate within the mist.

When his figure completely disappeared into the depths of the mist, Tu Shu used his finger to press the earpiece worn in his ear canal, and immediately said: "Zhou Chu has already entered."

And on the other side of the earpiece, a voice sounded: "Is anyone following him, or are there any suspicious people nearby?"

Tu Shu replied affirmatively: "No, high-precision Soul Power Monitoring Instruments are installed all around here; not even a mosquito could fly past."

"Good, then keep an eye on the movements inside the Copy at all times. In case he encounters danger, implement a rescue immediately; he must absolutely not be allowed to suffer any harm!"

"Understood!"

Tu Shu then pressed the earpiece again, and his body instantly disappeared into the air.

……

When Zhou Chu entered the Copy, what appeared before his eyes was actually a vast, dilapidated factory area.

Everywhere here were abandoned factory buildings, scarred and devastated, like a miserable scene after being razed to the ground by a doomsday invasion.

【You have entered the Nightmare-grade difficulty Commercial Dungeon—Calamity Mechanical Frenzy!】

This Commercial Dungeon is divided into three difficulties: Normal, Hell, and Nightmare.

In order to find the source of the Copy's ailment, Zhou Chu naturally had to choose the highest difficulty to start with.

Inside the Copy, pale purple mist permeated everywhere, and the mixed smell of various machine oils and decaying metal assaulted Zhou Chu's sense of smell.

Mechanical Frenzy?

Judging by the name, it sounds related to machinery, but I don't know how strong the monsters are.

Just as he was thinking, a series of sounds of metal scraping against the ground came from far to near within the mist.

Before long, a huge, tattered and filthy sphere came rushing toward this side, driven by eight long mechanical legs.

This monster, which looked like a spider, was about the size of a small truck, and the pair of huge compound eyes on its head rotated incessantly, as if dozens of small searchlights were bundled together, continuously emitting purple light.

【Calamity Mechanical Spider】 (B-Grade)

【Level: 20】

【Blood Value:】

【Attack Power: 1550】

【Skills: Laser Barrage, Poison Mist Spray, Spider Silk Entanglement】

【Description: A Mechanical Intelligent Being infected by Calamity Power, it is a cold and cruel killing machine.】

……

Zhou Chu's heart skipped a beat; he didn't expect to encounter such a big guy just after entering the Copy, and its various attributes all looked quite formidable.

Without thinking too much, he hurriedly summoned all three god-level servants from the Hero Tomb.

To deal with these mechanical monsters with bodies of steel, one must use powerful firepower.

Immediately after, Zhou Chu used Soul Transfer to temporarily transfer himself into Gadi's body.

Just at this moment, the mechanical spider discovered the intruder; its huge mouthparts opened, and a strand of spider silk made of metal shot rapidly toward Zhou Chu.

However, Zhou Chu had long been prepared, and with a flash of his figure, he escaped into the void before the spider silk could hit him.

And the next moment, the bowstring in Xina's hand snapped, and arrows of darkness struck its body.

The Blood Qi of this mechanical spider was instantly emptied, its huge body collapsed to the ground with a boom, and after its eight thick metal legs kicked a few times, it stopped moving altogether.

【Successfully killed "Mechanical Spider", Experience +1000.】

【Obtained Soul Fragment*1】

【Successfully collected Contract Material "Mechanical Spider (B-Grade)".】

【Your hero servant Xina shares experience points with you, Experience +1000】

【Your hero servant Xiduo shares experience points with you, Experience +1000】

【Your hero servant Gadi shares experience points with you, Experience +1000】

【Your hero servant Gadi has leveled up to Level 15!】

One has to say, the experience from monsters in this Commercial Dungeon is indeed generous; a single mob provides as much as 4000 experience points.

No wonder people would rather spend a lot of money to grind Commercial Dungeons than waste time in Public Dungeons.

At the same time, what Zhou Chu did not expect was that these monsters made of steel could also become Contract Materials.

In the future, there will be one more type of contract servant composed of Mechanical Intelligent Beings in the Contract Pool.

However, since it is a Mechanical Frenzy, there will certainly not be only one monster.

It is said that the monsters in this Copy have reached a state of infestation, so presumably, the number of monsters will certainly not be small.

At this time, Zhou Chu, who was in the void, saw dust flying not far away, and dense swarms of mechanical spiders were rushing over here like a nest being emptied.

With three god-level servants present, no matter how many monsters there are, they will all turn into rich experience.

Seeing Xina had long since pulled the Hunter's Longbow in her hand into a full moon, while Xiduo danced her iron chains with a tinkling sound, cold air permeating her entire body.

And Zhou Chu in the void was also poised and ready, just waiting for the monster swarm to approach.

The mechanical monsters, surging like a tide, swept over in an instant, and the two god-level servants, Xina and Xiduo, grasped the timing for releasing their AOE skills perfectly.

Death Arrow Rain and Cold Chain Impact were like a raging storm, sending this surging monster tide reeling, and every monster caught in the blast was killed instantly without exception.

There were even many mechanical spiders frozen into giant mechanical ice sculptures, which, under Xiduo's pulling, instantly turned into a pile of cold iron filings.

Just this wave of monster tide offensive saw a full hundred or so monsters ruthlessly harvested.

Zhou Chu and Xina, along with Xiduo, leveled up once again, all reaching level 16, and Gadi was also only one-third of the experience away from leveling up again.

The experience in this Commercial Dungeon is truly so abundant; the leveling speed is like riding a rocket.

Moreover, as a mission-taker, Zhou Chu has the opportunity to enter the Copy for free.

It is said that normally, just entering the Normal Difficulty once costs over five hundred thousand.

Although the highest Nightmare Difficulty is rarely visited, the cost to enter each time is as high as over two million.

This time, it just so happened that the monsters in the Copy were overflowing, and their numbers were definitely higher than during normal times, so Zhou Chu could be said to have encountered a good time, while also obtaining a chance to get it for free.

No matter what, he must farm the monsters in here until not a single one is left!

Meanwhile, at the Copy entrance behind Zhou Chu, an illusory figure sneaked in silently.
