Pinned Messages in the World Channel
As the light and shadow solidified, Su Luo returned to her familiar Laboratory.
Looking at the time, the District War and the Continued Battle together took about thirteen hours. The Monster Tide in Zone 76 had ended, and Su Luo missed the live broadcast.
I took out the [Focus-Calming Tea] I had just redeemed, pinched off a small pinch of emerald green tea leaves, and casually placed them into a clean teacup.
There's no need to boil water; with a slight thought, the moisture in the Laboratory air automatically separates, and within seconds, a steaming cup of tea is ready.
This successfully fixed the bug where Su Luo was sometimes too lazy to add tea leaves and would drink plain water instead.
Taking a small sip, the warm tea slid down my throat, and a refreshing sensation went straight to my mind.
Su Luo sat down, sipping tea as she manipulated the Laboratory to break through the thick layer of soil, flying straight out of this [Dangerous Terrain] area. She adjusted her direction and sped towards the distant Dungeon.
At the same time, he spared some attention and opened the World Channel, which was bustling with activity.
As expected, news of the Continued Battle and the Forbidden Existence has swept across all regions like a storm.
The first few messages are complaints and comments from regions that were eliminated early in the District Wars:
[You said you wouldn't fight seriously? Why did my District War start with a chaotic free-for-all? I would have died if I hadn't run fast!]
[So the prices in the District War points shop are adaptive? The first place player is guaranteed to be able to afford the Near-Death Teleportation, and the top three players are guaranteed to be able to afford the [Monster Tide Basic Wave Reduction Coupon]? I thought it required killing everyone from other regions.]
[Isn't this obvious...?]
[Kids, I miraculously won eight games in one fell swoop, defeating eight different regions! But the system determined that because the remaining region had more players than me, I was relegated to second place. Is this right? Is this fair?]
[This fits my stereotypical image of a martial artist as brainless.]
[Listen up, everyone! Do NOT try to take anything out of the Dungeon! Especially those with their own consciousness!]
[Layton: Repeat! Repeat! Do not bring the Forbidden Existence from the Dungeon out! This is no joke, some areas have already been completely wiped out! Region 65846 is dead, only one person remains!]
[Too late to tell, He's been standing next to me watching me for three days.]
[There are even Self-Destruct ones?]
[??? What's the meaning?]
[Advanced professionals, go play somewhere else.]
[It's not that serious. Now that I'm out here, I'm one of you, aren't I? Let's put aside our differences and work together to build a community with Fate mankind.]
[Holy crap... hey, stop messing around, I'm scared.]
[Unlike a string of strings, he's probably completely controlled by Forbidden Existence.]
Sure enough, quite a few people deduced that "Forbidden Existence can escape the Dungeon."
Subsequently, lengthy statements began to emerge attempting to summarize patterns and analyze mechanisms:
[In summary: The difficulty of the Trial Instance may be predetermined based on the Survivor's 'potential' or 'strength' the moment they Dungeon. Survivors with formidable strength and a high chance of achieving an 'excellent' rating face an insanely difficult trial. The Forbidden Existence within the world can easily deduce from various clues that you are an 'outsider,' and then, under some inexplicable restrictions, will try to leave the Dungeon with you through non-coercive means such as deception, symbiosis, or emotional blackmail. Once outside the Dungeon, the restrictions are lifted, and your true strength... a complete wipeout? (Tentative, more cases needed)]
[Not all of them are ridiculously strong and invincible. I only brought one along; he seemed interested in discussing cooperation, and his attitude was fairly mild.]
[After discussion, the Forbidden Class on our battlefield believe there might be a hidden 'rating increase' mechanism: your trial might originally only correspond to a 'good' difficulty rating, but perhaps by actively revealing your 'otherworldly visitor' identity, you can significantly increase the difficulty and risk of the trial. If you can survive this hellish difficulty and meet certain conditions, it's possible to forcefully raise the final rating to 'excellent'.]
[Holy crap? Really? Using the skills and preparation of a "Good" rating to actively challenge the difficulty of an "Excellent" rating? Isn't that just suicide? What are the chances of success?]
Su Luo silently browsed through this information, noting down the valuable parts, while finishing the last sip of the Focus-Calming Tea in her cup, and then refilling it.
The discussions in the channel are getting increasingly bizarre:
[What if two highly rated professionals emerged from the same region at the same time, and both brought with them the same Forbidden Existence?]
[The Real and Fake Monkey Kings? Should they fight first to determine who's the real one, or should they become sworn brothers and team up to take us down?]
[Don't even mention it... A Trial Instance that theoretically resets in an infinite Cycle can actually spawn "real things" with independent consciousness; just thinking about it is terrifying enough...]
Next came the continuous recording of information from the Survivors who participated in the Continued Battle, and the information kept increasing. Su Luo quickly filtered out the meaningless information and captured the key details.
[I understand the logic, but what's the situation with the Survivors in other worlds?!]
[Our district is number one! Continued Battle! We are the best little sheep!!]
Could this be considered the first formal contact between humankind and extraterrestrial intelligent life in history?
[All my props are broken, boohoo...]
Why do all life forms in other worlds look like humans?
[I encountered Martial Dao, cultivation of immortality, mecha, the bizarre, idealism, Superpowers... it was a complete hodgepodge!]
[To be fair, things are pretty smooth in other worlds too.]
[Did Mad Park go to another world?]
[Is the Continued Battle simply a competition between the top regions of each world? What's the point? How many worlds are there? How many power systems are there?]
[Ye Fan: First place is a piece of cake.]
[Wow, you're awesome! From our battlefield discussions, some worlds don't even know the "Supreme" rating exists; they think "Excellent" is the absolute pinnacle.]
[The thought that other worlds have such bizarre Trial Instances makes me happy.]
[Dear experts, does anyone have data on the social structures, population distribution, and cultural history of other worlds? I'd love to have it shared! I need to study it! Thank you!]
[Holy crap! I actually made it to fifth place! But that's not the point -- there's a Trial Instance area in our Continued Battle Battlefield with the exact same background as mine!]
Survivor "Ye Zizhen" pinned a message using [World Channel Pinning Permission x1].
Survivor "Ye Zizhen" pinned a message using [World Channel Pinning Permission x1].
Two system notifications popped up in the World Channel.
The first item pinned to the top is the previous detailed summary of the Forbidden Existence and Trial Instance mechanics.
The second pinned post was none other than the one from earlier, claiming to have encountered the same Dungeon background. "[Wow! I got fifth place... but I've made a major discovery! There's a server in our Continued Battle Battlefield where the Trial Instance is exactly the same as mine!]"
In a sense, it's officially certified.
Everyone knows Ye Zizhen secretive; she must know something.
[Holy crap... It takes five Continued Battle team points to exchange for one access... Rich guy.]
Lord Ye must have his reasons for doing this!
[Could this Ye Zizhen be a reborn being? Future Sight? Prophecy?]
[Perhaps it's a notification.]
[Shan Yixian: Don't make baseless accusations... Next, we will release an update on the current situation of our hometown, with information provided by [Planar Stalker]. This update was relayed in the World Channel by all participants in District War Battlefield 91 of this regional war...]
[Why is there still a hidden ad...]
[What?! There's news from our hometown?! Tell me quickly!]
[[Planar Stalker] -- The only person in the world who doesn't need to miss home!]
[Wait, following this logic, are the Trial Instance shared by all Survival Worlds? Is the system's "computing power" insufficient? Or are there only a few tens of thousands of world templates?]
[I have a feeling that the Trial Instance isn't virtual... after all, the Forbidden Existence inside can actually be escaped...]
[Why do Survivors in the same area share the same difficulty level?]
[What is false may be true, and what is true may be false; what is nothing may be something, and what is something may be nothing...]
