"Did he really succeed? It seems the chief from that Interstellar Manual wasn’t lying; players don’t only exist in the world I traveled to."
At this mont, in the living room of the Black Tower, Wang Zhifan looked at the now empty sofa before him, pondering silently.
The reason he handed the professional card to Zhong Wei, this native of the dungeon, was mainly to verify this matter. As it turns out, the result is affirmative; becoming a player is not an exclusive privilege of Earth Humans, it is possible in other worlds too.
"I rember the chief from the Interstellar Manual said he wasn’t actually human, but was turned into a human NPC after failing a mission... So, if a dog or so other creature accidentally tore open a professional card, would it also beco a player? A player that is neither human nor a highly intelligent species?"
At this mont, Wang Zhifan thought of many questions he would never have pondered before. These questions might not be important to him or most players, but if a player wants to understand what the transcendent ga actually is, they certainly can’t be ignored.
"If my conjecture is correct, why have I never encountered players from other worlds in previous dungeons? I haven’t even heard of non-human races as players... Is it because my level is too low to reach that tier? Just like how I only recently started encountering foreign players in dungeons?"
Comparing his past dungeon experiences, Wang Zhifan found clearly contradictory places, but he automatically provided an explanation.
For example, from his early more than ten dungeons, he mostly encountered players from Xia Country, and only in the last two dungeons did foreign players begin to appear in large numbers.
This phenonon undoubtedly relates to levels: as levels increase and the strength gets stronger, the dungeons would arrange stronger teammates, and failing to choose from a wider range of players might make it difficult to fill the roster.
"So in future dungeons, I will not only frequently encounter foreign players, but also possibly human players from other worlds, and even players who aren’t human at all?
If that’s really the case, then why haven’t I ever heard anyone ntion such things on the forum?
I’m only Lv15 now; I’ve heard that so veteran players are almost Lv100, if that’s true surely they’d encounter them..."
The more he thought, the more questions flooded Wang Zhifan’s mind, but no one could explain them to him.
He decided to ask Chu Wei who works at the bureau after exiting the dungeon, to see if she could disclose so inside information to help him deepen his understanding of the transcendent ga.
Before long, just as Wang Zhifan stilled his sowhat tumultuous thoughts, a figure slowly materialized in the air on the sofa before him, it was Zhong Wei, who had just returned from his first dungeon run.
Zhong Wei looked almost identical to before he entered the dungeon, still dressed as a researcher in a white coat and blue half-fra glasses, the only difference being he now held a Magic Staff, though the staff appeared very ordinary, estimated to be a common-grade item.
"So, what do you think? Do you understand now?"
Seeing the lingering signs of excitent on Zhong Wei’s face, Wang Zhifan smiled and spoke to him.
He believed that personal experience triumphs over a thousand words; after experiencing the dungeon, Zhong Wei would definitely have a profound understanding of players, the group of outsiders he referred to, and would need no further explanation from him.
"Thank you, Tower Master! I have understood everything I wanted to! And I’ve found my future key research direction! Thank you so much! I’ll send you a return gift tomorrow!"
Zhong Wei answered, appearing slightly emotional.
This excitent was understandable, as for a research enthusiast, nothing could be more valuable than becoming a player in the transcendent ga. After all, the dungeon was filled with countless elents for his study, no exaggeration to call it the richest material library.
"Don’t be so excited. Becoming a player is not all about benefits; dying in a dungeon ans truly dying. Although with your current strength most ordinary dungeons may not pose a threat to you, one day you will encounter enemies stronger than you, and then you must not bla for pushing you into the fire pit."
Wang Zhifan’s expression slightly turned serious as he reminded.
He was very aware of Zhong Wei’s exceptional foundation, capable of being stronger than most veteran players just after entering the dungeon, but the transcendent ga is unpredictable, maybe after a couple of dungeons testing Zhong Wei without pressure, it will suddenly ramp up the difficulty, catching him off guard.
However, Zhong Wei rely laughed indifferently at his words, declaring that he was unconcerned about the risk of dying in a dungeon, and even if he knew everything in advance, he’d actively seek to beco a player.
Because the attraction of the dungeon world was above all else for him, the player’s rewards were equally enticing; he very much wanted to acquire a high-level item in the dungeon akin to the goblet Wang Zhifan had shown.
"Thinking this way, combined with your strength, ans you are starting far stronger than the vast majority of players. However, I still advise you to be cautious in the dungeon, especially to be alert to whether the dungeon is deliberately targeting you... By the way, in the dungeon just now, did you encounter any teammates?"
