Chapter 370: #370 - Section 370

Luck is a real thing in the world of Fate/stay night. When a person's luck stat is low, even if they are strong, they will suffer various misfortunes due to the influence of luck. But when a person's luck stat is high, even if they are weak, they may become successful under the influence of luck, just like Gilgamesh's Golden Rule. Even if he does nothing, a passing plane might have an accident with its cargo hold, and a valuable item might fall from the sky and land right in front of Gilgamesh.

This is all real in the world of Fate/stay night, and it is an influence coefficient that is directly related to the laws of causality.

In the dungeon, income basically depends on magic stones, but not all monsters drop magic stones. This is a probabilistic drop item.

If you're unlucky, you might kill ten monsters without dropping a single magic stone. No magic stones means no income.

But Medea's crafted magic item that can increase luck can directly improve a person's luck. If Sakura wears it, it can directly increase the drop rate of magic stones after she kills monsters. This is a very terrifying thing.

The two continued to move towards the lower levels as they talked.

After Wang Xiaoming took them to familiarize themselves with the situation on floors 1-17, he sent them back to the entrance of the dungeon and let them form a team of two to try clearing from the first floor to the 17th floor.

Wang Xiaoming himself directly teleported to the 17th floor through a spatial passage, in front of the Wailing Wall where the floor boss Goliath respawns, and waited there.

Then he waited for the two of them to clear their way down from above, relying on the information Wang Xiaoming had told them before.

As for why he was waiting on the 17th floor instead of the 18th floor, it was because there was a possibility that the floor boss Goliath on the 17th floor would mutate.

As for why Wang Xiaoming thought Goliath would mutate, it was because when he took Sakura and Medea to the 18th floor, he saw the Loki Familia undergoing renovations.

And across from the Loki Familia, Wang Xiaoming also saw the Freya Familia. That's right, it was Bell, who had shed his rabbit title and gained the title of "White Reaper."

Perhaps it was fate's arrangement. Although Wang Xiaoming sent Bell to the Freya Familia and even allowed Bell's talent to be realized faster, he still took a liking to Aiz Wallenstein of the Loki Familia.

However, unlike Bell's position as a small fry in the Hestia Familia, he joined the Freya Familia, entering a large company from the very beginning, and was directly cultivated as the group's heir.

The current Bell is not a red-eyed little rabbit, but a true survivor!

Watching Bell circling around Aiz, Wang Xiaoming wondered if he would see a marriage between the Freya Familia and the Loki Familia in the future.

However, before he could see the marriage, Wang Xiaoming noticed that the atmosphere on the 18th floor was a bit strange, which reminded him of the monster riot that occurred on the 18th floor, which was originally a safe floor, especially the part where Goliath mutated.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoming did not stay on the 18th floor, but directly sat on the 17th floor, in front of Goliath's respawn point. As long as Goliath respawned, he would encounter Wang Xiaoming immediately.

He wanted to see if Goliath would appear at this time and directly mutate, becoming even stronger!

This was a max-level大佬蹲 in the newbie village BOSS respawn point!

771. Adventurer Newbies Who Don't Recognize Wang Xiaoming

Waiting is a relatively boring thing. Wang Xiaoming spent a long time walking from the entrance to the 18th floor with Sakura and Medea.

And this time, letting Sakura and Medea team up to go down, they will definitely spend more time fighting monsters.

Therefore, the time Wang Xiaoming has to wait here on the 17th floor will also become longer.

But Wang Xiaoming didn't care, so he simply took out a white plastic chair from his space pocket, placed it directly opposite the Wailing Wall with the back facing it, and then sat down on it, facing away from the Wailing Wall where Goliath respawns, in a大佬 pose.

Since there was nothing to do while waiting here, Wang Xiaoming even took out his magic stone phone to chat with Hestia, who was staying at the Familia's home. After all, in order to ensure safety, Wang Xiaoming had to stay here to prevent the mutated Goliath from appearing.

Of course, chatting with his wife would be more interesting than boring waiting.

And so, Wang Xiaoming started a long phone call with Hestia.

Because Wang Xiaoming was sitting in front of the Wailing Wall, he was quite conspicuous on the 17th floor, because the main space on the 17th floor was the area in front of the Wailing Wall. In particular, to go to the 18th floor, you basically had to pass through here.

Usually, when Goliath hasn't respawned here, everyone will quickly pass through, especially adventurer teams with few people. They won't stop if they can avoid it, because if Goliath respawns while they're stopped, they'll be very unlucky.

Therefore, although Wang Xiaoming was sitting there, there were still others passing by the Wailing Wall, and some even wanted to try to see if they could defeat Goliath.

Then all these passers-by saw Wang Xiaoming sitting in front of the Wailing Wall.

Those who recognized Wang Xiaoming immediately made way. In their opinion, Wang Xiaoming was蹲 BOSS.

Good heavens, the团长 of the Orario Hestia Familia, the super大佬【Magic Sword Knight】Wang Xiaoming, actually came to蹲 the floor boss respawn on the 17th floor. Does he want to monopolize the floor boss?

However, these adventurers who saw this had no objection to Wang Xiaoming's behavior. The大佬 is powerful, and everything is up to the大佬.

Correspondingly, some newbies who didn't recognize Wang Xiaoming were different.

"Who is he? Why is he sitting there?"

"I remember my senior said that's where the floor boss Goliath respawns."

"But why is that person sitting there?"

"Does anyone know that person?"

"I don't know. How long have we been in Orario?"

Although mentioning Wang Xiaoming, basically 99% of people know him. Wang Xiaoming's name is too famous, but that doesn't mean everyone has seen Wang Xiaoming. After all, although Wang Xiaoming spread magic stone phones in this era, phones haven't developed too many functions yet. The main function is communication, and the internet age hasn't arrived yet.

Therefore, to recognize a person, you either have to have a portrait of them, or you have to have met them in person. Otherwise, you basically know the name but don't recognize them.

"Should we go up and ask?"

"We can ask. If possible, see if he can let us have Goliath."

"That's right, we finally learned from our senior that as long as we defeat the floor boss Goliath, we can upgrade to LV2!"

Someone spread the news that as long as you defeat Goliath, newbies can upgrade to LV2.

Because the people of the Hestia Familia who upgraded to LV2, the first few basically relied on solving Goliath alone to achieve this achievement, so this can also be said to be a basis.

In a sense, for newbies who are only LV1, if they really manage to defeat Goliath, they can indeed upgrade to LV2, but the premise is that the LV1 newbies can really do it.

Because Goliath's power is absolutely disastrous for LV1 newbies, unless you are the protagonist and have ultimate dog shit luck, there is no way to do it.

The reason why Wang Xiaoming's family members were able to defeat Goliath at LV1 was entirely because Wang Xiaoming was giving them BUFFs from behind, and they themselves were extremely good at fighting. Some even appeared to be LV1 on the surface, but in reality, they should be LV?, which is not comparable to these real LV1s.

But some newbies don't believe it, believing that since the people of the Hestia Familia can do it, and so many people have done it, then they, as newbies, can also do it.

The most忌惮 thing among adventurers is thinking that if others can do it, they can do it too.

However, this situation is very common among newcomers. Many adventurers who have just started are full of enthusiasm, thinking they can dominate the dungeon, level up and become famous, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of their lives.

Reality will soon give them a head-on blow, and may even cost them their lives.

These newcomers here are like Bell, who just arrived in Orario not long ago, full of dreams and confidence, and have also heard various legends within Orario.

Especially the legends of the Hestia Familia, such as the captain of the Hestia Familia, [Magic Sword Knight], becoming the strongest in Orario, the monster rookie of the Hestia Familia leveling up to LV3 in a month, and the Hestia Familia recruiting new members again, who are expected to reach LV2 in half a month.

In short, the newcomers have not been in Orario for long, but Orario now has much faster information exchange than before because of Wang Xiaoming.

They have encountered an unprecedented information bombardment compared to before, which led them to believe that this kind of thing is normal in Orario.

If others can do it, then I can do it too!

Therefore, they entered the dungeon this time to prove themselves and to become LV2!

Seeing Wang Xiaoming sitting there, combined with the information they had, they believed that Wang Xiaoming wanted to monopolize the floor boss.

Still very naive, they wanted to come forward to reason, wanting to tell Wang Xiaoming that one person cannot occupy this place alone.

"Friend over there, what are you doing here?"

The naive new adventurers went up and directly asked Wang Xiaoming.

This made Wang Xiaoming, who was listening to Hestia's voice, a little stunned, looking at the five adventurers in front of him, a little confused for a moment.

But seeing the other party's reaction, Wang Xiaoming quickly realized that these guys didn't recognize him.

"Hestia, I have something to do here, I'll hang up first."

"Okay, Mingjun, you go ahead, be careful!"

After briefly ending the conversation with Hestia, Wang Xiaoming put away his phone and then looked at the five people in front of him.

"You are..."

However, just as he opened his mouth, the Wailing Wall behind him suddenly moved.

The floor boss, Goliath, has respawned!

772. Mutated Goliath

"This movement, Goliath has respawned!"

Among the five new adventurers, some had learned some knowledge about the respawn of the floor boss, knowing that monsters appear from the walls, especially the floor boss Goliath, who appears from the huge ice wall in front of them.

And now, there is movement on the ice wall, indicating that a monster is about to respawn.

On the seemingly white ice wall, a crack suddenly appeared, the crack quickly expanded, and a huge head emerged from the crack.

"It's Goliath! Just like the seniors said, the floor boss Goliath has respawned!"

"So big! Bigger than the seniors said!"

"Can we handle it, such a big guy, just the few of us?"

"No problem, if others can do it, we can definitely do it too, we are the most talented hunters in the village!"

The new adventurers started shouting one by one.

What they said shocked Wang Xiaoming even more.

Good fellow, the most talented hunters in the village have appeared, are you the last hope of the village, and did you bring the best sword in the village?

However, this also made him understand that these people are pure newcomers, and they don't know the dangers of Orario and the dungeon.

The person who seemed to be the leader among the five, after observing Goliath who was slowly emerging from the wall, did not cheer with the others behind him, but instead looked at Wang Xiaoming.

"Friend, you are waiting here, you probably also want to defeat Goliath and then level up to LV2, right?"

"Defeat Goliath to level up to LV2?"

Wang Xiaoming was a little puzzled, do I look like an LV1 person? Take a good look at my armor, although it's just ordinary armor that I made myself, it's not very useful, just for looks, but it's a whole set of armor, have you ever seen an LV1 newcomer who can wear such a whole set of knight armor?

"That's right, we only heard about it not long ago, it seems you should have heard about it earlier than us."

"Roar!!"

While the two were talking, Goliath's head had completely emerged from the wall, and its hands also appeared, beginning to press on the wall, pulling its body out of the wall.

"You also saw that Goliath has appeared, and your goal is also Goliath, our goal is also Goliath, instead of arguing here for the sake of competing for Goliath, why don't we just cooperate as a team, let's defeat Goliath together."

This squad leader extended his right hand towards Wang Xiaoming, inviting Wang Xiaoming to join their team and then defeat Goliath together to level up to LV2.

Wang Xiaoming looked at the squad leader's outstretched right hand, smiled, then stood up from the plastic chair, and casually put the plastic chair back into his space pocket, slowly passing by these five people.

"No need, I'm not interested in Goliath, if you want to fight, then fight it yourselves."

Wang Xiaoming made a concession, letting them fight Goliath one-on-one.

This stunned the person who invited Wang Xiaoming, unexpectedly giving up so easily?

However, the remaining four people were very happy, because they had no intention of bringing Wang Xiaoming along from the beginning. As the most talented hunters in the village, they will definitely be able to successfully cooperate to solve Goliath and then become LV2!

"Let's go!"

Since Wang Xiaoming has already taken the initiative to withdraw, then what they can do is go up and solve Goliath to level up to LV2.

On the wall, Goliath was still constantly using force to pull its body out of the wall, but the pulling was relatively slow, because its body was very large, a big guy more than ten meters high, could not be pulled out casually.

Wang Xiaoming stood behind, looking at this Goliath, there was no problem, it was just a very ordinary Goliath, not mutated.

It seems that he was thinking too much, thinking that it would mutate so he came over to take a look, that is to say, although Bell and the Loki Familia appeared in the dungeon this time, the plot of the monster riot is obviously not this time.

Since it is an ordinary Goliath, then if they want to farm it, let them have a chance, anyway, Wang Xiaoming doesn't lack this bit of magic stone now.

Goliath's magic stone used to be very important to the Hestia Familia, not only could it be sold for money, but it could also be used to make equipment, and even used to maintain Wang Xiaoming's mobile phone server.

But now it's different, now Wang Xiaoming, because he accepted Uranus's commission, goes to the 50th floor to explore new species at every turn. Although those new species are not floor bosses, their levels are higher than Goliath, and their magic stones are completely more powerful than Goliath.

In this case, Wang Xiaoming no longer needs Goliath's magic stone at all.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Goliath finally completely came out of the wall.

However, in the situation where Wang Xiaoming felt that there was no problem, this Goliath who had just come out of the wall suddenly stopped in place and stood there motionless.

"Go!"

The five adventurers began to attack Goliath.

But they didn't expect, and even Wang Xiaoming didn't expect, that when they rushed to Goliath's face, Goliath suddenly opened its hands and roared.

This roar vibrated the air on the 17th floor, directly shaking back all the adventurers who rushed up.

But after that, this Goliath suddenly turned pitch black, directly turning into a pitch-black monster, and then pounced on these adventurers.

Rushing into the adventurers, it directly waved its fist and smashed it on the ground. Although it didn't hit an adventurer, the impact that came out directly knocked all these adventurers away.

The five adventurers flew up and then fell to the ground, and immediately began to wail.
