''So these are the rankings…''
With Sato''s victory over the temple guardian puppet, the dungeon feature in IR was officially unveiled alongside the various ranking lists.
Apart from satisfying one''s ego and pride, the rankings acted as a form of free advertisement for various guilds and yers. Guilds could show off their strength based on their dungeon performance recorded and ranked on the [Dungeon Rankings] list while yers could show off their strength on the [One Above All] list.
The advantage for guilds would be that their name would beuded in ces and yers would be swarming in to get a share of the glory. This meant that their recruiting speed would increase and the quality and numbers of payers in their league would rise.
For yers, especially solo yers, being ranked on the [One Above All] rankings meant that they would be approached by various guilds and clubs with lucrative offers. They could easily make it to the ranks of core members without having to take any recruitment test because their achievements would be visible for all to see.
"This is where the realpetition begins." Sato sighed.
With the opening of the dungeons as well as the release of the rankings, battles in IR will get more heated and guild shes would be even moremon. Dark yers would be less cautious and more daring while independent yers and unofficial clubs would take to the guilds more rampantly.
''I still have a shot at this. Not a lot of yers have made it to level 10 so we could reap more benefit before they do.''
Sato immediately wet to his friend list and sent a message to Fudo and Xue Yan, wanting to know how much progress the others have made as well as any updates on the various guilds.
Once he had sent the messages, Sato didn''t wait for a reply but set his focus once again on the dungeon in front of him.
''Now, should I check it out or not.''
Staring at the spinning ck-hole in front of him, Sato began contemting his next series of actions.
While it was true that dungeons were more of team battles, yers could actually enter some of them alone in some VR games. Sato wondered whether the same could be applied here. While he wasn''t OP enough to solo a dungeon, Sato believed that he could explore a part of it on his own before dying. The reward bonus was juicy and it could offset any loss from death as well as still raise his experience points up by a sizeable amount.
In any way Sato looked at it, the gains were okay.
''It depends on the dungeon''s level though. I''m guessing it should be a level 10 dungeon.''
Approaching the wide ckhole, Sato stretched an arm out to feel it when he suddenly felt as if he was barricaded by a wall.
[[ System notification :
You have to be in a party of at least 5 yers, with an average level of level 12 to ess this dungeon. ]]
''An average level of level 12? looks like this dungeon won''t be so simple.'' Sato narrowed his eyes.
If the average eptable level was a level 12, it meant that the BOSS of the dungeon would most likely be above level 15 and might even be level 20.
''We will need a lot of preparations for this.''
Since he could no longer ess the dungeon and he had already explored all the doors in the temple, Sato then exited the ce through the same entrance he had arrived from, appearing once more at the cliff he previously stood before.
''This discovery has affected my ns. Looks like I won''t be able to stay here for as long as I had thought.''
Sato''s original n was to spend a week leveling up here why also mining minerals to improve on his cksmith skills in preparation for the Apprentice cksmith tournament. But with the discovery of this dungeon, he would have to spend less time than nned and focus more on exploring the city to reap more benefits just before more yers arrive.
''There are always little surprise packages hidden all over. The first batch of yers to make it here would probably be like me; heading over to resource maps to check it out. Very few would bother about exploring the town as they''re all focused on their strength and this would be more so with the system announcement. This means that I still have a shot at it.''
Reaching that conclusion, Sato then knitted his brows.
''In that case, returning to town now would be the best course of action. But I just can''t go back empty-handed.''
Arriving in a dilemma, Sato sighed and was just about to return to town when he heard a strange call.
