I was Caught up in a Hero Summoning, but that World is at Peace (WN)-Chapter 2172: A Nostalgic MMO ⑥

Just as Aoi-chan said, the Tier-3 Class Change quest was simple, requiring only sequential conversations with designated NPCs, and I was able to complete my Class Change to a Tier-3 Class.

Then, as planned, we headed to the pair dungeon exclusive to the bridal event.

[By the way, what’s the pair dungeon like?]

[I haven’t entered it myself, but based on online information, it’s a dungeon with 50 floors.]

[50!? That sounds like it’s going to be a pretty long ordeal……]

[Ah, no, despite being called a dungeon, its format is more like a Monster House. A small map fills with monsters, and once you defeat them all, you advance to the next floor. It’s a simple setup. According to online sources, the monsters up to around the 30th floor are weak, and if you’ve got a well-equipped Tier-4 Class, you can reach that point in about 15 minutes…… However, the difficulty ramps up significantly from there. The floors above the 40th floor are said to be as tough as the latest dungeons, and anything past the 45th floor is on the level of frontline content. You need to be a fully geared Tier-4 Class and understand your roles well to make it through.]

[I see, so beginners and intermediate players can make some progress, but full completion requires a really high level huh……]

Since I had just changed to a Tier-3 Class, I had no chance of clearing those higher floors. If I could at least reach the 30th floor, that would already be a decent achievement.

[Well, even so, the rewards are really good, so a lot of players have been running it. There are two main rewards. One is the bonus EXP you get for clearing floors. Since you just reached Tier-3, Kaito-san, if you make it to the 30th floor, you’ll probably gain around 10 to 20 levels.]

[That much? Then, if I keep running this dungeon, I could reach Tier-4 pretty quickly?]

No, the pair dungeon has a limit———– you can only enter it once per day per character. So you can’t just grind it repeatedly with the same character. However, since the restriction is per character, some players run it multiple times using different characters. Hardcore players even create multiple game accounts and do dozens of runs daily.]

[……That means the other reward must be really valuable huh?]

In this game, you could create up to 10 characters per account. Owning multiple accounts wasn’t prohibited either…… so the top-tier hardcore players would undoubtedly have several accounts with dozens of characters.

However, since this game had a monthly subscription fee per account, running multiple accounts also meant spending more money…… That said, if hardcore players were going to such lengths, the rewards must have been worth it.

[Yes, for top players, the main draw is that reward. Every time you clear a floor, both players in the pair receive an event-exclusive box. Of course, the higher the floor, the more boxes you get.]

[An event-exclusive box?]

[Ah, errr, to put it simply for Kaito-san, think of it like an old treasure chest.]

[Ah, I see…… So you get random items from it huh……]

Old treasure chests were rare drops from various monsters, and when used, they granted random items.

Most of the time, you’d get junk that sold for pocket change or cheap consumables. However, there was a small chance of obtaining valuable gear or high-priced tradeable items, making them highly gamble-oriented.

[Basically, most of the rewards from the bridal event quests come in the form of those event-exclusive boxes. You can earn them not just from this dungeon but also by completing daily quests. However, this dungeon is the most efficient way to farm them.]

[So, does that mean some really amazing items can drop from these boxes?]

[Yes. Most of the time, you’ll get tradeable items that can make you some pocket money or fairly useful consumables. But at low drop rates, you can obtain event-exclusive gear or costume equipment. And then there’s an even rarer drop…… so rare that it’s said to be one in a million or even one in ten million, a ridiculously powerful accessory. It’s the kind of item that top-tier players would kill to get their hands on.]

[I see. So that’s why the top players are grinding this dungeon like crazy…… But since it’s all based on probability, even beginners or intermediate players who can only clear the lower floors still have a chance of getting it, right?] ɽΑꞐ𝐎ВЁṩ

[Ye. Plus, the event-exclusive boxes can be bought and sold, so you can always take them to the marketplace and sell them for a good price.]

In the end, it all came down to luck. For beginners and intermediate players, this event was a great way to make stable income or strike it rich, while for advanced players, it offered the slim possibility of obtaining insanely powerful equipment.

[Well, don’t worry too much about all that, Kaito-san. Just enjoy the combat. it’s been a while, hasn’t it? And believe it or not, I’m actually pretty strong. I can handle a fair number of monsters on my own.]

[Got it. It’s been a long time since I last played, so I’ll just focus on getting back into the rhythm.]

With that, we exchanged smiles and stepped into the event-exclusive dungeon.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [Whoa there, throwing a probability-based event in front of someone whose luck stat is completely broken sounds like a total flag……]
