The objective for Chapter 160 is to survive?

Chapter 160: Is the Clear Condition... to Survive?

After bidding farewell to Wang Miao.

Shenhe returned to his home in this world.

Lying in bed, he remained sleepless all night, his mind filled with every detail of his time spent with Wang Miao.

From the very beginning,

when he first met Wang Miao in the capacity of a 'Nano-Flying Blade Researcher'.

To later visiting Ding Yi together and witnessing the entire process of him striking the black and white balls.

Slowly,

Shenhe seemed to have deduced what the players were meant to clear this time.

"If my guess is correct,"

"this time, the thing players need to conquer isn't on this planet; it's beyond the heavens, amidst the vast and boundless war universe."

"It is a civilization superior to this planet, an impending invader."

As he whispered softly, the light in Shenhe's eyes flickered uncontrollably.

As a Pioneer of the high-level Shenhe Civilization,

he knew all too well how terrifying it was once a high-level civilization discovered the coordinates of a low-level civilization and launched a war against it!

It was no exaggeration to say

that a high-level civilization wanting to annihilate a low-level one was as simple as a normal person stepping on an ant!

To give a simple example:

The current Blue Star Civilization hasn't even spotted a shadow of the invaders, yet the opponent is already able to use some special means to interfere with the development of Blue Star's physics!

Locking down physics through constant errors in particle collision experiments!

Thereby,

causing the Blue Star Civilization to stagnate, unable to achieve any development!

And this is only the initial contact; when the invader's legion arrives in the star system where Blue Star is located, that will be the true beginning of the war.

No wonder,

no wonder the system gave Three-Body such a high score!

In the long history of cosmic succession, there has never been a record of a low-level civilization successfully resisting an invasion by a high-level one.

They can't even manage to resist, let alone defeat them.

A high-level civilization's dimensional reduction strike against a low-level one is simply an unsolvable problem!

As the universe's only Level 99 War Designer, Shenhe had tried creating this type of high-difficulty dungeon before, but... the dungeon failed to pass the system's review after being uploaded.

At that time, Shenhe felt

that starting from a civilizational war launched by a high-level civilization against a low-level one to create an ultra-difficulty war dungeon was simply unfeasible!

But what about now?

A dungeon featuring a civilizational war launched by a high-level civilization against a low-level one had appeared right in front of Shenhe!

This meant that this path was actually viable!

It was just that he had chosen the wrong direction back then, or perhaps a problem in certain settings had led to the review failure!

"Once this clear is over,"

"I must re-examine this type of dungeon."

Thinking of this,

Shenhe reined in his drifting thoughts.

After all,

now was not the time to consider such things. Rather than studying high-vs-low civilization war dungeons, it was better to think about how to clear this BOSS dungeon with a difficulty of 999!

"Since the dungeon could pass the Skynet Production Team's review, then this dungeon is not impossible to clear!"

"As long as the right direction is found, players will definitely be able to clear this dungeon!"

And what was the direction for clearing it?

Unconsciously,

Shenhe's thoughts were pulled back to when he first entered the Three-Body World.

At that time,

the system had given all players a set of data!

And within that data, a very clear answer was given regarding the conditions for players to clear the dungeon. It was time!

There was no possibility for a low-level civilization to defeat a high-level one!

Therefore,

when a Designer creates a dungeon, they cannot set it up so that players must face the invaders in a head-on war; if they did, the dungeon would never pass the system review!

Thus, Designer No. 009 of Azure Star had slightly altered the clear conditions!

Time!

As long as a single player can survive until the designated time ends, this BOSS dungeon will naturally be cleared!

But wanting to know the designated time was no easy task.

For the dungeon to be rated with a high score of 999 by the Skynet Production Team meant that the process of players seeking these vital clues would be extremely difficult.

A long and arduous road ahead...

Shaking his head, Shenhe withdrew his thoughts and prepared to rest.

Having entered the Three-Body World, his body's various functions were locked by the system within the range of a normal human of the Blue Star Civilization.

So he really needed rest.

Only with enough rest would he have the energy to study the dungeon and decrypt those unknowns!

Several days in the Three-Body World...

...was only a few minutes or a dozen minutes in the real world.

At this moment,

even though night had fallen in the Three-Body World and the vast majority of Strategists had fallen into deep sleep, countless viewers were still passionately waiting in the livestream room.

[It has to be the Pioneer of the Shenhe Civilization!]

[Whether it's in the design of war dungeons or the decryption of war dungeons... he's in the top tier!]

[I am completely convinced that such a person can become the most powerful figure in the 'war era'.]

[The only one who can probably compare to him is this rising star from Azure Star. To create a dungeon with the setting of a war launched by a high civilization against a low civilization—from ancient times to the present, probably only this Designer has done it.]

[Isn't that the truth.]

[Tsk, isn't it just changing the clear conditions? Changing it from a head-on war with the enemy to surviving for a certain amount of time—anyone could fabricate this type of dungeon, right?]

[Heh, if you can make it, why isn't your name on the list of second-round qualifiers?]

[Truly a classic 'I could do it too' moment. If 'Three-Body' were that simple, could it overpower the crowd to rank first?]

[I think...]

[even if this Azure Star Designer changed the clear condition to surviving for a set time, successfully clearing it will still be very difficult.]

[That's exactly the answer; the Skynet Production Team's rating for it is 999!]

[I have a very strong premonition that the time the players need to survive... might be during the period when the high-level civilization officially launches its war against the low-level civilization!]

[Hiss... if that's really the case, there's simply no possibility of clearing it!]

[Based on the identity information of various Strategists, we can confirm the invaders are not in the Solar System. This means the high-level civilization invading Blue Star has inter-galactic capabilities; this is at least a Third-Level Civilization!]

[For a Third-Level Civilization against Blue Star, which isn't even a First-Level Civilization, the war could probably be finished within a few minutes of starting!]

[Have some confidence, it could end in a few seconds.]

...

The time for discussion passed quickly.

Although only a minute or two passed in the real world, in the war world, a whole night had passed!

"Ring, ring, ring—"

The sun was just dawning, and the gentle sunlight had only just touched the ground.

Shenhe was awakened by the hurried ringing of his phone.

Since leading his own civilization to soar, it had been a very, very long time since he had slept as peacefully as an ordinary human.

It was very comfortable.

But to be suddenly woken up from the comfort of the cradle was also very annoying.

He picked up his phone unhappily, preparing to see exactly who had disturbed his peaceful dreams.
