In the Abyssal Game, only items recognized by the game can be brought into or out of the dungeon.

This means every time players enter the dungeon, they need to start over in terms of resources.

No matter the worldview or plane background, money is always one of the most important resources.

Players possess superhuman power, but making money in the dungeon requires more than a strong fist.

The same goes for any plane; quick money-making methods are all outlined in criminal law.

In high-difficulty dungeons, especially upon first entering, making quick money using illegal methods is not a wise choice.

For instance, in the Cursed Dungeon, the sieve-like victim shot by the armed helicopter and the grievance of the leader White Old K prove this point.

Players have been in the dungeon for half a day now.

In half a day, Sword Star earned just enough money through Sword Heart Skills street divination to cover the expenses of food and drink for the four from the Management Bureau and two double rooms at the inn.

Sword Star earned considerable tips by saying auspicious words during divination, preventing the four from sleeping on the streets.

The amount he earned was 4 shillings, whereas 20 shillings make one pound.

Seeing Wu Chang casually take out a hundred pounds and indifferently hand it to the servant, telling him to spend it all, Cold Mountain and Sword Star found it difficult to maintain their composure.

Everyone is a player; it’s reasonable for your values to be higher and your items better - let’s call it good luck if it drops in the dungeon.

But to max out on gold coins upon entering the dungeon, what’s going on?

Adjusting values without even sparing plane currency, not enduring any struggle?

Feeling the gaze of Cold Mountain and Sword Star, Wu Chang smiled; this was the effect he wanted.

Without the impact of a pile of gold pounds from Stilan, how would you know I have someone supporting me?

He casually said, "Previously in the Moonlight Sanatorium dungeon, I happened to save a few plane natives. Unexpectedly they became influential figures when I re-entered the plane."

"Out of old friendship, they provided me with some material assistance."

As he spoke, he took out a dozen hundred-pound bills from his pocket, with two Extraordinary gathering invitations tucked at the back.

If it were just Stilan gold pounds, Cold Mountain and Sword Star would have let it go, since these can’t be taken out of the dungeon; with enough time, they could earn enough themselves.

But the two invitation cards behind Wu Chang’s bills almost made their eyes pop out.

"Lord Peace, is that what you’re holding?"

Wu Chang tossed an invitation to Cold Mountain, carelessly saying:

"In a few days, Stilan’s official organization will hold an Extraordinary gathering to recruit talented individuals who wish to join."

"The influential person funding me has no time, so he asked me to distribute a few invitations."

Initially, Cold Mountain and Sword Star were unsure, but upon receiving the item information from the invitation, combined with Wu Chang’s description, they believed the invitations Wu Chang handed over were those players were frantically seeking.

This isn’t an ordinary Extraordinary gathering; according to intelligence from the Grimland Extraordinary Realm, many high-ranking figures will attend, like the Archbishop of the Holy Awakening Sect, various Cabinet Ministers, and heavyweight members of the Upper and Lower Houses.

Connecting with them through the Extraordinary gathering offers a completely different treatment compared to contacting them as ordinary players later.

Many experienced players even suspect that joining a faction via invitation may trigger a hidden task.

It’s this type of special item related to hidden tasks that players are wildly chasing.

Yet, Lord Peace before them doesn’t give much thought to it.

The influential person behind Peace must be significant, able to allow him to distribute invitations, indicating real power.

They are likely the initiator of the Extraordinary gathering, probably a party within the dungeon force.

And Peace’s indifference to the invitations suggests the influential person values him far beyond any Extraordinary recruits through the gathering.

It’s souring; even Cold Mountain, once the first Breaker of the Desolate Realm, who has seen many waves, felt bitter.

He broke through so many dungeons, never had such待遇.

While they struggle for plane currency and fight to join factions, others become direct affiliates of a faction with financial support from high-ranking individuals.

No wonder he’s the first Breaker.

At this point, Cold Mountain and Sword Star understood Wu Chang’s intention, they didn’t ask for invitations directly but instead asked:

"Lord Peace, is your faction still recruiting?"

Peace is a direct affiliate of the faction, and since relations with the Management Bureau are good, if they connect with Peace, they metaphorically also become direct affiliates.

Moreover, with the current first Breaker of the Desolate Realm, the current second Breaker, and three strong Management Bureau players, it’s a powerful alliance; once formed, they can’t fathom losing in competitive side quests within the dungeon.

Seeing Cold Mountain bite the hook, Wu Chang didn’t rush to agree but said:

"Sending a few invitations is fine, but I can’t decide recruitment for the faction, only recommend. Whether it’s successful depends on the influential figure’s decision."

"However, no rush for this matter; I wish to seek Cold Mountain’s advice on something."

At this time, a bottle of wine was brought into the booth by a server, Cold Mountain poured a drink for Wu Chang, saying:

"We are all friends, our goal is to攻略the dungeon, any information I have I’ll certainly share."

Swapping information for a recommended slot is a good trade.

Seeing this, Wu Chang asked the previous question:

"Sword Star once told me that S-Level dungeons differ, divided into newly forming and mature ones. What’s the difference between these two?"

Before Wu Chang spoke, Cold Mountain guessed the potential questions Wu Chang might ask, answered without hesitation:

"This question relates to the core of the dungeon."

"Lord Peace, in high-difficulty dungeons within the Desolate Realm, where is the difficulty reflected in攻略and the BOSS’s power?"

After pondering for a moment, Wu Chang said, "It’s the Divinity."

Cold Mountain nearly spit out his drink upon hearing Wu Chang’s answer, managed to swallow his drink, and coughed.

"Divinity usually appears in the Realm of Reason, not often seen in Desolate Realm dungeons. What Lord Peace encountered is an exception."

Wu Chang slightly furrowed his brow, was Divinity an exception in the Desolate Realm? He didn’t feel so; he thought Projection Authority was exceptional.

"Then is it the projection of an Evil God descending?"

Cold Mountain paused, wondering is there a difference? He shook his head, placed down the glass, feeling Wu Chang’s answer was too far-reaching, fearing more would cause him to choke on his drink, so he answered:

"Despite Divinity’s strength, it doesn’t belong to the Desolate Realm, restricted by the plane barrier, unable to unleash full power."

"There’s another power, weaker in ability than Divinity but can unleash full power in the Desolate Realm, more troublesome to players yet to gather Divinity in the Desolate Realm."

Wu Chang showed caution, asking, "What is that power?"

Cold Mountain said, "It’s the Power of Root; Desolate Realm high-difficulty dungeons are more or less connected to the Power of Root."

Wu Chang realized, "I’ve never encountered this."
