Chapter 34: The Golden Command and the Dungeon Upgrade!
In the Otherworld, there are two types of dungeons: regular dungeons and hidden dungeons.
Regular dungeons exist permanently and will never disappear, while hidden dungeons appear randomly and vanish after a certain amount of time. An example of a hidden dungeon is the Level 5: City of the Apocalypse from the First World.
Both types of dungeons offer the same basic rewards upon clearing. The main difference is that hidden dungeons grant a unique first-clear reward—the Dungeon Scroll, which is invaluable.
In the Second World, although there are three regular dungeons, each adventurer is limited to conquering just one. The choices are the Level 15: Dark Zombie Nest, the Level 17: Zombie Hospital, and the Level 20: Death Grounds.
Naturally, Zhang Yue set his sights on the Death Grounds since higher-level dungeons provide better rewards.
However, his plans had to change. Instead of aiming for the Death Grounds, he now had to target the lower-reward Level 15 Dark Zombie Nest.
Why? Because within that dungeon lay a golden opportunity—one that could be used to eliminate Chen Jun.
Soon, Zhang Yue arrived at the entrance to the Dark Zombie Nest, located about three miles southwest of Notting City.
Before him stood a massive, dark nest. Beneath it was a magically sealed portal. Standing beside the portal was an elderly NPC mage named Moen.
In the Otherworld, certain regular dungeons can be upgraded to hidden dungeons through special methods. These dungeons usually have an NPC stationed nearby.
That meant the Dark Zombie Nest could be upgraded into a rare hidden dungeon.
