Chapter 597 590: Don't Modify Things Lightly
In fact, it was just as Lu Ran had predicted.
The entire passage was filled with numerous traps.
Lu Ran and Nanami walked along the way.
They triggered many of the traps, but there were actually ways to disarm them.
After all.
The purpose of the Relic Dungeon is certainly not to prevent Professionals from passing through.
Therefore, each trap has a solution, and some of them are even very complex.
However, Lu Ran would never know what the solutions are.
The two of them brute-forced their way through.
Every trap they encountered was faced head-on.
Of course, it was impossible for the two to lose health.
Lu Ran directly modified the data to maximize their Defense Power, putting them in an invincible state.
Thus, they did not lose any health.
However, not losing health does not mean it doesn’t hurt; when the traps are triggered, with arrows flying from all directions, the sensation of being turned into a pincushion would not be pleasant.
Therefore.
To avoid such issues, Lu Ran even blocked both of their pain sensations.
He simultaneously modified the data to put himself and Nanami in an absolute defense mode, impervious to piercing attacks.
Even when hit by a boulder, the two seemed as resilient as roaches, stuck under the stone, unable to be crushed, losing no health, nor feeling any pain.
Then.
Lu Ran, with just a thought, crushed the boulder pressing on them.
After walking a significant distance forward.
Lu Ran began to feel irritated.
These traps, although simple, were of no threat to Lu Ran and caused neither harm nor pain.
But they were very troublesome.
And a huge waste of time.
In fact, Lu Ran could choose to directly eliminate the data and remove all these traps.
But doing that would mean Lu Ran started using his permissions to modify the current Relic Dungeon.
Since Lu Ran’s goal is not to truly clear this lousy Relic Dungeon, which holds no meaning for him.
His objective is to find someone.
Though Lu Ran is likely searching for a person named with gibberish, who is most probably not here.
Lu Ran dares not take any risks.
If the modification of the dungeon caused issues for the person originally trapped here.
Or released them.
That would be most troubling for Lu Ran.
Lu Ran absolutely refuses to allow such a thing to happen.
Because if someone whom Lu Ran’s highest permission cannot intervene with were released, Lu Ran doesn’t know what could happen next.
Moreover.
Even before Lu Ran gained the highest permissions, when he first entered the Data World.
The entity who had a gibberish name forcibly infiltrated Lu Ran’s Communication Device.
Forcing communication with Lu Ran.
What does that indicate?
It shows that in the previous Data World, even though Lu Ran had gained invincibility due to lexical abilities.
He still couldn’t intervene in or modify the data; if the data-driven will wanted to kill Lu Ran then, Lu Ran would have had no solution.
But that person.
Had already begun interventions, indicating that the entity with the gibberish name, at least in the last Data World, held permissions.
Just that Lu Ran doesn’t know the extent of his permissions.
In the current world.
Lu Ran has the highest permission, but still cannot use his permissions to track the other’s data and location.
That’s very strange!
Even scarier upon closer inspection.
For two consecutive Data Worlds, Lu Ran had no way to deal with him.
In fact.
Lu Ran suspects the other might have, through some means, acquired a portion of the permissions of this Data World too.
Even though Lu Ran doesn’t know how much permissions the other might have obtained.
But Lu Ran doesn’t wish to take any chances.
If released, such a person would surely give Lu Ran a headache.
Originally in this Data World, Lu Ran was akin to god, able to control everything, yet there’s this person like a thorn in Lu Ran’s heart, making it unbearably uncomfortable.
That’s also why Lu Ran is reluctant to easily alter the Relic Dungeon.
It boils down to the same point that if by altering the dungeon, it led to his escape, relocation, or some other unforeseen event.
Lu Ran would be distraught.
As of now.
Even if Lu Ran found the other person, located where he was trapped, without fully controlling him first, Lu Ran still doesn’t plan to free him.
The best plan is to find the person, ascertain his identity, then kill him!
Lu Ran has no desire to befriend such a person, to interact or make friends with someone who could lose control at any moment, or whom Lu Ran might never be able to control.
If found by Lu Ran, he would definitely die!
Lu Ran’s resolve to kill him is extremely strong!
At this moment.
Nanami, sensing the change in Lu Ran’s emotions.
She spoke up: “Don’t be rash, don’t modify the dungeon here to prevent anything unexpected.”
Lu Ran nodded.
He said: “Don’t worry, I understand, let’s move forward, though these traps are somewhat troublesome and waste time, we have plenty of time, how long can the process of a Relic Dungeon possibly be?”
Upon hearing this, Nanami let out a sigh of relief.
She was worried that now Lu Ran, having the highest permissions, may, upon encountering troublesome situations, directly start using his permissions to modify them.
Lu Ran’s concerns are also Nanami’s concerns.
After speaking.
Returning her gaze to Lu Ran continuing ahead, did she follow his pace and continue transmitting through these cumbersome traps.
Luckily.
Just as Lu Ran had suspected.
This is a Relic Dungeon after all, though its difficulty was high, troublesome, filled with traps, wasting time.
But the process certainly isn’t particularly long.
Soon the two reached the end of the passage.
The end of the passage led downward.
Before the two appeared an underground Dark River, with no other paths available.
“Do we need to go underwater?” Nanami asked with a frown.
“Probably, why, are you afraid of water?” Lu Ran asked.
“Not really, it’s just that once underwater, aside from certain special Professions, most Professions, or rather, nearly all Professions, will have a suffocation BUFF and start losing health; the BUFF will stack progressively, and Life will decrease faster and faster, making most Professionals dislike going underwater because once immersed, many things become uncontrollable.” Nanami explained.
After speaking.
She shrugged at Lu Ran.
She said: “But for you, it’s not a concern; you can simply cancel the suffocation buff. However, make sure this indeed is the right path.”
Lu Ran nodded.
He naturally didn’t wish to take a wrong turn.
So, he directly invoked the data to check.
