Chapter 147: Recruiting Allies (Part 2)
"At most, it's just paying a hefty price."
Chu Shanshan responded naturally upon hearing this.
Zhou Yingting was somewhat taken aback by this, as if he appeared a bit behind on the news.
"By the way, do you know something?"
Seeing Zhou Yingting's somewhat unclear expression, Chu Shanshan suddenly recalled something.
If she remembered correctly, when Zhou Yingting had sought her and the others to form a team on the forum, he mentioned that he had only experienced one dungeon.
If that's the case, Zhou Yingting probably doesn't know much about some of the things in it.
Seeing Chu Shanshan like this, Zhou Yingting became interested, "What is it?"
"Do you know why we have the 14th Bureau, America has Zone 13, and theirs is the 49 Society?"
Chu Shanshan lowered her voice slightly, seemingly asking with a mysterious tone.
Zhou Yingting was stumped by this question, and after thinking carefully, he still shook his head.
"I don't know."
"You see, it actually has to do with the entries," seeing Zhou Yingting shake his head, Chu Shanshan immediately grew interested and began to explain.
"According to some rumors, the '14' in the 14th Bureau is an entry, just like '13' in Zone 13 and '49' are entries. Currently, people aren't clear about what these entries' effects are, although it's possible to guess some negative effects."
"Our '4' here is mostly associated with death-related matters, and the '13' in America is considered unlucky; many buildings skip the 13th floor there, so the negative effects probably relate to misfortune."
"In their culture, the '49' is also unlucky, associated with lifelong suffering. It's estimated that their entry's negative effects might relate to pain."
"Some negative effects through entries can be somewhat guessed, but as for what the effects are, that's kept very confidential."
Chu Shanshan carefully explained some of the information she knew to Zhou Yingting.
Zhou Yingting listened, stunned, as he originally thought names like 'Zone 13' were casually chosen, not knowing there were entry effects involved.
"I see."
Saying this, Zhou Yingting couldn't help but glance at his Lucky 4 entry.
He wondered if their entry was somewhat unique, or perhaps something like a commander's entry?
"By the way, has anyone tried to recruit you into some local organizations?"
Thinking for a moment, Chu Shanshan suddenly remembered something and asked Zhou Yingting.
"Local organizations, what's that?"
The influx of information overwhelmed Zhou Yingting, leaving him a bit dazed.
"Some people think the 14th Bureau is unreliable, so they form their own factions. Of course, some are seizing the opportunity to create their own factions for personal gain."
"Among these people are quite a few wealthy and powerful individuals; they learned about entry dungeons earlier than ordinary people and even some newer Extraordinaries."
"Thus, they formed their own circles early on to get things like Three-dimensional Pills and Longevity Pills for themselves."
"If no one has approached you yet, it might be because you're relatively new to the circle, but I imagine someone will contact you soon."
Chu Shanshan carefully shared this information with Zhou Yingting.
Zhou Yingting frowned upon hearing this, "As you describe it, it sounds like joining such circles wouldn't be beneficial."
"How could it not be? You've just become aware of entry dungeons; you're unfamiliar with them. By joining their circle, they'll wholeheartedly guide you and share information about the entry dungeons."
"Some information can be life-saving for many people."
"Besides, early on, people who encountered entry dungeons learned tips about mitigating negative entry effects."
"This kind of information isn't shared on forums or among Extraordinaries privately. Do you think such information isn't important?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Shanshan slightly shook her head and said.
Many negative entry effects are strong, and their actual effects can also be formidable.
Once you acquire an entry, you'll be thinking about how to resolve its negative effects for a lifetime.
Trying to figure this out alone is incredibly challenging.
But if someone offers guidance, it's a different story.
Zhou Yingting, considering this, acknowledged that such information is indeed crucial for some Extraordinaries.
However, for him, it seemed rather useless.
Because he already knew exactly how to resolve those negative effects, surely no one knew better than he did.
"Most negative entry effects can probably be solved by continuously entering entry dungeons, claiming first place, and receiving rewards."
Zhou Yingting thought and then remarked.
His own Life Quota was somewhat lacking, but by repeatedly entering dungeons and obtaining Longevity Pills, he could likely resolve the negative effects of the Blood Gift.
"Constantly entering dungeons and claiming first place?"
Chu Shanshan and the others were momentarily stunned, glancing at Zhou Yingting with inexplicable expressions, before bursting into laughter.
"How is that possible? The death rate in entry dungeons is extremely high, and competing for first place against others is exceedingly difficult."
"Indeed, getting first place isn't that easy."
Both of them kept shaking their heads.
But, in the midst of this conversation, they stopped, their gazes simultaneously falling on Zhou Yingting.
It seemed as though for Zhou Yingting, this wasn't very difficult, was it?
When they first met Zhou Yingting, he had already taken first in a dungeon.
Then, during the Battle of the Abyss, he claimed first again.
Once more, he got first during the Battle of the Abyss.
Observing this, it seemed Yu Zhou had an extensive comprehension of entry dungeons.
No, it seems he understood the Battle of the Abyss dungeons deeply.
If they could find more Battle of the Abyss dungeons, what rewards wouldn't they have?
Longevity Pills, Three-dimensional Pills, or any other exotic rewards, surely, there'd be plenty!
Thinking of this, their eyes suddenly sparkled.
Both were considering if they could acquire such dungeons and enter with Zhou Yingting again.
That way, they could reliably obtain dungeon rewards, couldn't they?
"Let's go find other Battle of the Abyss dungeons. How about we enter together when we do? Doesn't this dungeon reward the top three?"
Chu Shanshan eagerly asked Zhou Yingting.
After thinking briefly, Zhou Yingting quickly nodded, "If such dungeons exist, I certainly don't mind."
Compared to other dungeons, Zhou Yingting enjoyed this one very much.
Raising the level secured even more rewards, which was delightful.
"Alright, it's decided then. We're off to find those dungeon scrolls now."
With that, Chu Shanshan and her partner quickly contacted others to seek Dungeon Scrolls for the Battle of the Abyss.
Zhou Yingting, seeing them so excited, paused briefly in surprise, then shook his head.
Afterward, he glanced at his panel, having not yet checked the commander's entry's bonuses since the battle ended.
