Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 238 No.18 S-Class Ruins

"Not counting the undersea city where the exploration progress is temporarily stranded and hunters are currently restricted, there are a total of 17 relics that are rated as S, and the three super relics that have climbed to the SS level are excluded, and the remaining ones can We're down to 14."

None of the known S-level relics has an exploration level exceeding 50.00%, so this restriction can be completely ignored. The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the value of the loot. According to the standard given by the hunting group office, the minimum threshold must reach 40 million The sum of credit points—generally speaking, as long as it is an Alpha Civilization technology product with technologies related to popular topics in the research institute, it can basically be worth this price. If a new technology can be discovered, it can easily be valued at hundreds of millions loose.

"What's this place like? Ruins S-011, 'The Floating City of Deval', has an exploration level of 29.8%, a comprehensive survival rate of 44.76%, and an average yield of 2998.3 million. Although the income is a little low, at least the survival rate is considered to be ten percent." It is the highest among the four S-level relics. As long as we can find some good things that exceed this average rate of return, the task will be considered complete." Layton pointed to one of the relics list and said.

"Literal data can't explain the problem." Ke Lan shook his head and voted against Layton's proposal, "I have made up my mind about this floating city before, and I have also spent money to purchase relevant information through certain channels— —This ruin should be a high-end residential area of ​​the Alpha civilization. It is suspended 860 meters above the Hazam Plateau by an anti-gravity device. Among the loot unearthed, the daily necessities of the Alpha people accounted for the highest proportion, followed by the floating city. The structural components and the gravity technology related to it have almost been figured out by the research institute, and the value of both is not very high."

Ke Lan continued: "Moreover, the relatively safe outer urban areas have been almost plundered by major hunting groups. If you really want to gain something, you must go deep into the urban area. However, due to the damage of the core anti-gravity device, the center of Deval The urban area is split into hundreds of independent floating plots. These floating plots are shrouded in countless disordered gravity fields that cannot be seen by the naked eye, and these gravity fields will change at any time. If you take a wrong step, you may be destroyed. Shredded or crushed into a meat paste..."

Ke Lan pointed to the data in Layton's hand, and said, "Layton, you can check the detailed exploration records of the S-011 ruins, and you will find that these data have not changed for several years, because the recent For a few years, no hunters were willing to go to that place, because there is nothing to do in a safe place, and going inside is even more dangerous than other S-class ruins."

"It's true...the most recent exploration record was 37 months ago. The explorer was the 'Pathfinder Hunting Group' under the 'Morgan Consortium'. There were zero casualties, but the income was only a pitiful 1000 taels over a million... Layton scratched his head in embarrassment.

"The reason why the S-011 relic 'The Floating City of Deval' was rated as an S-level relic is entirely because no one can step into the central city alive. The actual exploration value is only A-level." The hound commented Said, "I feel that even in the A-level ruins, there are many richer than this."

"What about this one?" Layton immediately found the second target, "S-005 ruins, 'Forest of Ashes', 39% exploration level, 40.95% comprehensive survival rate, 4500 million average yield..."

Before Layton could finish speaking, Zhuo Ligetu interrupted him directly: "I have been to the Huibai Forest with several big hunting groups, and the only thing that can be exchanged for money there is biological samples of mutant tree monsters. The more valuable the tree monster, the stronger the tree monster. Those big hunting groups directly ran over it with mechas with heavy weapons... I remember that the most valuable sample in that harvest was sold for more than 3000 million, and the source was a tree The tree monsters covering an area of ​​several acres, even though the big hunting groups were fully prepared, still lost more than half of their mechas, and the hunters I were temporarily hired to assist, the casualty rate was almost one-third... A place depends on the number of people, if there are few people, they will be swallowed up by this man-eating forest within a short distance."

"I don't like that place either," added the Hound, "where the trees all look like ghosts, and you can't tell which one is real and which one is going to attack suddenly. Strange... the most annoying thing is that those trees are not afraid of fire, and they won't light up at all."

"If these two don't work...then the overall survival rate of the remaining S-level ruins is below 40%, and just looking at the description and the casualties recorded in the previous few explorations, you can tell that they are a bunch of hard stubble. The two relics are still difficult to deal with... Huh?" Layton suddenly let out a cry of surprise, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"What's the matter? What's all the fuss?" The hound gave him a blank look and asked.

"S... S-level ruins, there is actually one more?" Layton stammered, "There are too many big facts that have happened recently, and even such big news has been suppressed!"

"The 18th S-level relic has appeared? Has it been confirmed? Could it be the oolong made by the 'bricks' of the rating committee?" At a glance, I saw an extra line of information at the end of the list - "Relic S-018, 'Bottomless Tiankeng'."

There is no word "tentative" in front of the number, which means that this relic named "Bottomless Tiankeng" is indeed the No. 18 S-class relic.

"Good guy, when did this ruin come out?" The hound couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Like this newly discovered S-level ruins, the casualty rate during the early exploration process is undoubtedly extremely high, but from another From a perspective, this period of time is also one of the peaks of yield—the relic yield curve is generally like this: it is the highest when it is first discovered, and then as the exploration rate gradually increases, the yield all the way down, and waits until the core area After being breached by hunters, the exploration yield will reach the second peak due to the high-value loot in the core area.

Like this newly discovered ruins, Ke Lan and the others don't need to go deep into the dangerous ruins at all. They only need to explore in the outer area, and they are enough to collect loot worth 40 million credits.

"I think this is good, you can study it." Ivan said.

But when the hound clicked on the detailed information of the ruins, the few people around the table were all stunned.

This bottomless tiankeng numbered "S-018" is exactly the twin ruins exposed after the "A-087" glacier ruins they explored collapsed!
