43: Chapter list channel is open! (Please follow up (ˊ˘ˋ*)♡)
“Holy crap! Where did I get teleported to? Why is there a big leopard in front of me?!”
“Don't even mention it, I just watched a spider movie. Good heavens, the intensity! My friends and I were stunned.”
“Which route did you all choose?”
“I chose the Silver Route: Frozen Journey. Is anyone else on this route?”
“Me too, my team is on this route. The first stage map is Frozen Tundra, and the destination is Ice Spring Town. Want to team up?”
“Team up? Didn't your examiners tell you that once you choose a team, you can't team up with other teams? Otherwise, it's considered cheating and your assessment qualification will be directly revoked.”
“They did, but we can team up quietly, they won't see us.”
“…”
...
Half an hour later, the chat channel gradually became more crowded.
【Announcement: Thunder Squad and Fire Fang Squad have teamed up and are proceeding, violating the assessment rules. The assessment qualifications of all members in both teams are canceled!】
The communication watch interface lit up. Ye Ze lowered his head and saw the announcement.
Ignoring it, Ye Ze chose to continue his journey. With the help of [Smell Enhancement], he could detect the location of monsters every time and avoid them in advance.
The Swamp of Doom route was long, and Ye Ze wanted to preserve his special power as much as possible.
Several hours later, nearing noon, the communication watch interface suddenly lit up.
【Announcement: Du Mingfei has become the first examinee to obtain cooked food, achieving an accomplishment and receiving a reward of 1000 points】
In the chat channel,
“??? That works too.”
“So envious, getting 1000 points so easily.”
“Speaking of which, fellow students, did any of you bring food? I don't have fire control skills, how am I supposed to get food?”
“Don't mention it, as soon as you said that, I felt hungry. This assessment was too sudden, who had time to prepare food?”
“I don't have fire control skills either, I'm about to start rubbing sticks together to make fire…”
“…”
Looking at the content in the chat channel, Ye Ze sighed, raised his head, and scanned the surroundings. Rotten plants on the thick mud, as well as unknown biological remains, and the pervasive smell of decay in the air,
Everything here was rotten.
“I do have fire, but what can I roast? Can roasted spiders be eaten?”
Ye Ze pondered for a moment, and the image of spiders feeding on rotting corpses suddenly appeared in his mind. He shivered and shook his head: “Let's forget about it.”
With a thought, Ye Ze took out a piece of smoked meat from his storage ring. “Fortunately, I made some smoked meat a few days ago. At least it will last for a few days.”
Eating the smoked meat in his hand, Ye Ze opened the chat channel, wanting to see the situation of other examinees.
Just then,
【Mission Issued: Clear Monsters (Long-term valid)】
【Mission Description: In recent years, the number of monsters within Dragon Country has been steadily increasing. Their threat to Dragon Country towns is growing, severely impacting the daily peace of the populace. As the new generation of professionals in Dragon Country, you bear the undeniable responsibility and obligation to clear the rampant monsters on the map and safeguard the peace of life for the people of Dragon Country.】
【Mission Rewards: Killing a Level 10 normal monster grants 20 points, increasing by 20 points per level. Silver Route points ×2, killing a Level 10 normal monster grants 40 points, Gold Route points ×3.】(Click to view detailed point acquisition for each monster level.)
Ye Ze was thoughtful and clicked open the chat channel.
“Fellow students, I received the mission to clear monsters. Did you all receive it?”
“I received it too. Gold Route points ×3. I should have chosen the Gold Route.”
“Don't say that, brother. The Gold Route isn't for just anyone. Do you think the monsters on the Gold Route are that easy to kill? The normal monsters on the Gold Route all have talents, and two of them at that!”
“Yes, and the environment on the Gold Route is much harsher, it's not that easy to grind monsters.”
“…”
The chat channel was lively, everyone was discussing the newly released mission.
“It seems everyone received this mission.” Ye Ze understood.
Closing the chat channel, Ye Ze chose to continue his journey. He didn't plan to grind for points right now.
The deeper into Swamp of Doom, the higher the monster level. He had to maintain his best condition to handle the latter half of the Swamp of Doom journey and unexpected situations.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, several hours had passed.
The sun began to set,
The already gloomy Swamp of Doom had its visibility greatly reduced.
Ye Ze opened the map channel and looked at the nearby area, discovering a small island nearby called Anze Island.
“An island? The environment on the island should be much better, right?”
Ye Ze glanced at the mud under his feet with distaste. After staying in the swamp for a long time, he felt like his whole body had become smelly.
Click to view detailed information about Anze Island,
【Anze Island: Active monsters are Swamp Basilisk, levels between 10 and 15, Boss-level monster Swamp Basilisk King exists】
“Basilisk!”
Ye Ze's heart stirred,
When he saw the words 'Basilisk', his first thought was: “Basilisk meat should be edible, right?”
There was no other way. Swamp of Doom was vast and boundless, and venomous insects and monsters like scorpions, spiders, and toads were prevalent. Lacking supplies, Ye Ze could only set his sights on the Basilisk.
At this moment, Ye Ze had made up his mind to go to Basilisk Island... no, Anze Island.
But being cautious, he still clicked on the monster entry to view the detailed information about the Basilisk.
【Swamp Basilisk】
【Level】: lv10~lv15
【Combat Power Evaluation】: 9 stars~13 stars
【Characteristics】: Highly Poisonous, Great Strength
【Talents】: Constitution Enhancement (E-rank), Venom Enhancement (E-rank)
【Skills】: Berserk Bite, Poisonous Saliva
————
As expected, there were still two talents, and both were E-rank.
Identifying the general direction, Ye Ze rushed towards the location of Anze Island. He had to arrive before sunset...
...
The sun set,
Dusk began to fall,
Everything became dark.
Ye Ze also arrived at Anze Island before sunset.
Just then, the communication watch suddenly lit up,
【Announcement: Silver Wing Squad's team points have exceeded 10000, the ranking channel is activated.】
“That fast? Are they grinding machines?” Ye Ze muttered to himself, and indeed, he saw a [Ranking Channel] at the bottom right of the interface.
Clicking on the [Ranking Channel], he saw a leaderboard.
【Team Points Ranking】
First Place: Silver Wing Squad, 10050 points, Modu First High School
Second Place: None yet
Third Place: None yet
...
...
In the chat channel,
“So it's a big shot from Modu City, no wonder they got 10000 points so quickly.”
“But speaking of which, what's the use of the ranking?”
“It's for you to worship the big shots.”
...
Just then, another announcement came through the channel.
【Announcement: Silver Wing Squad has obtained 1 lottery chance.】
A few seconds later,
【Announcement: Silver Wing Squad has drawn a normal prize: Bronze-grade Secret Treasure: Ground Spike Ring ×1!】
【Announcement: The team points ranking reward system is now announced!】
