The Ghost Swordsman was speechless for a moment.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
"All-inclusive" means everything is covered, so there's no reason to make the boss do anything.
But then again...
He hadn't expected that soloing a four-person Dungeon would be so difficult.
Even though his equipment and skills were significantly stronger, fighting felt exactly the same as when he was in a party before.
The main reason was that there were more monsters, and no one to help share the burden or draw aggro.
Therefore, he was often attacked from front and back.
The only thing the Ghost Swordsman was grateful for right now was that he hadn't boasted about clearing the You'an Dark Forest Depths.
If he had to face a group of cat demons, he would have exploded.
"Big brother, are you perhaps not capable?"
Seeing the Ghost Swordsman struggling a bit, the three girls couldn't help but speak up.
"If you can't do it, just say so; we won't make things difficult for you."
"Yeah, don't just suddenly disappear later."
The Ghost Swordsman's expression stiffened, "...How could that be? Just follow closely, watch me speed-clear this for you."
Later, he encountered the Tauren Behemoth.
Deceased.
Revived.
Deceased.
Revived.
Deceased.
Revived...
The Ghost Swordsman himself was just an ordinary Adventurer, with average operational skills.
Facing the Boss and a group of small monsters attacking from both sides, he didn't know how many revival coins he used, but he finally cleared the Dungeon.
After receiving 300 happy coins.
The Ghost Swordsman's smile was incredibly stiff.
"Big brother, bye-bye."
"Bye-bye..."
Speechless, tears flowed first.
He had been busy for most of the day, used up all his happy coins, and in the end, only got back 300, plus a "bye-bye."
He lost even his underwear.
The fortunate thing was that he hadn't attempted the You'an Dark Forest Depths in Warrior difficulty; if he had stubbornly tried to carry it, he would probably have to run away by now.
Level 5 equipment isn't enough...
How did other Adventurers manage to carry others through?
The Ghost Swordsman couldn't figure it out.
However, when he exited the Dungeon and came outside.
There was already a chorus of curses.
"Damn it, if you can't carry, don't act tough, saying 'all-inclusive,' then running away when you can't beat it."
"What kind of crap is this? Thinking you can just clear it casually after putting on a few pieces of equipment, but then you die and don't make a sound, just running away directly."
"I don't know why someone without strength would create a party, and still have the nerve to charge me 300 happy coins; I was directly struck dead by a lightning bolt from the Boss as soon as I entered the map."
"Where did that arrogant idiot get his confidence from? I don't know what he was doing, but thankfully I didn't pay him first. I knew he wouldn't make it when I saw how difficult it was for him to fight the Boss."
"Yeah, I didn't pay either. The key is that his operational skills are simply not good enough; having a lot of equipment is useless if you can't dodge skills."
"What, none of you paid?"
At this moment, the biggest victim in the history of Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors appeared, "Damn it, I gave him 200, and he just quit when he couldn't beat it, and didn't even return my happy coins."
"??"
"Hahahahaha, the first victim has appeared."
"I thought being scammed once was pitiful enough, but I didn't expect someone would actually give happy coins to be scammed!"
"Poor kid, hahahahaha..."
In the regional chat, some people felt sympathy, while others couldn't help but laugh.
Some were both sympathetic and laughing.
This made the unfortunate brother extremely depressed.
"Actually, we're not unable to clear these Dungeons. I've seen that the operational skills of those carriers aren't that great, yet they can still solo up to the Boss stage."
"If all four of us had such equipment, even if it were a bit weaker, we could still clear it."
After complaining about the party leaders.
Other Adventurers began to complain about the difficulty of the Dungeon.
The main reason was the lack of equipment.
Each card flip only yielded one piece of equipment, and the Boss dropped one or two, but most were white-grade, and many weren't even for their class.
They had only cleared three or four Dungeons in total.
And there were only a few usable items.
This led to a sharp increase in Dungeon difficulty.
Some Adventurers also wanted to buy equipment.
However, the output of equipment was limited, and it simply couldn't withstand the usage of so many people.
What to do?
The blacksmith did sell equipment, but that cost gold coins, 6000 gold coins, which no one could gather at this stage.
Under these circumstances, it also led some Adventurers to hold onto their blue equipment, unwilling to sell them, planning to wait for the price to increase before doing so.
The consequence of doing this was a chorus of curses.
100 happy coins for a blue piece of equipment was already very expensive; if the price went up further, no one would be able to afford it.
"Lord Chen, can you please add a way to exchange happy coins for gold coins?"
"Yes, if that's not possible... a way to exchange for equipment would also work, we really need it."
"Lord Chen, we really want to become stronger."
As if hearing the wails and heartfelt pleas of countless Adventurers, Chen Yu's gaze swept across the Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors interface.
Arrangement.
Since all you Adventurers love me so much, I must certainly make proper arrangements for you.
How can I disappoint my dear Adventurers?
Exchanging happy coins for gold coins is not feasible. Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors has its own economic system and operates independently, without external factors influencing it.
If the official side were to anchor the gold coin price, it would instead affect everyone's enthusiasm for grinding.
However, while gold coins cannot be exchanged, equipment can be.
Gaining equipment in the early stages was indeed a problem.
After a moment of thought, Chen Yu introduced a blue growth equipment at a price of 100 happy coins, which could grow with the Adventurer all the way to level 15.
This way, the Adventurer's equipment transition would be much easier.
After level 15, they would be able to farm their own equipment, and the early Dungeons would no longer be so difficult.
However, this blue growth equipment's attributes would certainly not be as good as true blue equipment.
It could only be said to be slightly stronger than green and slightly weaker than blue.
"When I designed the Dungeon initially, I only thought about letting Contract Adventurer properly grasp their skills, and didn't consider whether ordinary Adventurers could clear it."
Chen Yu shook his head and said, "It's all my fault. I can only use this method to compensate for my mistake."
"Oh, right..."
"The enhancement system can also be launched now."
Chen Yu first launched the blue growth equipment in the Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors shop.
Then, very casually, he let the Adventurers discover the equipment enchanter on the street.
With the launch of these two systems by Chen Yu, Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors immediately caused a huge stir.
"Holy crap, quickly look at the shop."
"Lord Chen must have heard our voices; he's put a beginner growth equipment gift box on sale."
"Damn, it's true..."
"Purchase a beginner growth equipment gift box for 100 happy coins, and upon opening, you can choose one blue-quality growth equipment."
"Finally, we don't have to wait for people selling equipment at Uncle Blacksmith's anymore."
"Those black-hearted merchants will also be punished. A blue weapon, he dared to quote me 300; isn't that outrageous?"
"Hahahahaha, now those black merchants' weapons are stuck in their hands; they can go disassemble them!"
"So satisfying, Lord Chen's move is incredibly satisfying for us."
