"I think they're both right. This is Anomalous Instance, and there's really no need to try it."
So many teams haven't cleared the Anomalous Instance, how can we guarantee we can?
Jiang Wen's words shattered Zhu Heng's last shred of hope.
We're not even 100% sure if this is Anomalous Instance yet, so why are we just opening it up?
Doing nothing would indeed greatly increase their chances of survival, but they hadn't even seen the Instance boss, and they couldn't trigger Instance buffs.
In this way, even if they survive, they will not be able to turn the temporary Instance into a permanent reward.
Wouldn't that mean missing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Encountering an Anomalous Instance is truly a rare occurrence.
Giving up easily is like throwing away meat that's already in your mouth.
"Is it really okay to just sit here and do nothing?" Cao Wenzhe said. "At least we should explore it first and make sure it's not Anomalous Instance before we do anything."
Gan Lingling said, "Just now I was only 80% sure."
However, after conducting multiple simulations using my abilities, I am now 100% certain that this is Anomalous Instance.
Believe it or not, I'm not doing anything, and I absolutely will not go into the factory.
This might offer a sliver of hope in preserving your experience points.
Hearing Gan Lingling say this, Cao Wenzhe and Zhu Heng felt even more heartbroken.
This is truly Anomalous Instance; if they do nothing, they'll regret it for the rest of their lives.
Cao Wenzhe then looked at Du Ze and Jiang Wen and said,
"The difficulty of the Anomalous Instance is indeed high, but even if you don't plan to clear the Instance, you should at least get the Instance bonus."
As long as you survive, these bonuses are permanent, equivalent to a two- to three-fold increase in personal strength, and you will continue to receive the bonuses in the next Anomalous Instance.
If we are among the first to receive this bonus, we will be far ahead of others, and at least we will be able to survive in Anomalous Instance in the future.
His words made Du Ze and Jiang Wen hesitate. Yes, it was indeed a very tempting reward.
If you can earn these rewards simply by surviving, why not give it a try?
And it doesn't sound like there's much risk involved; they just need to explore a little, get the Instance, and then they can just sit back and relax.
Why not?
"How about we give it a try?" Du Ze looked at Jiang Wen, still somewhat hesitant, hoping to hear Jiang Wen opinion.
"That's definitely possible..."
Jiang Wen was interrupted before she could speak.
It was Gan Lingling who interrupted her.
"I'm telling you this very seriously: if we do nothing now, we still have a glimmer of hope. But if we insist on causing trouble, the result will definitely be something you don't want to see."
We will all die in the Instance, and even if we can resurrect in the real world, we will lose 90% of our experience points.
Therefore, what we need to consider now is not how to obtain rewards, but how to preserve our experience points.
Gan Lingling paused for a moment, then continued, "Let me reiterate, once you decide to explore this Instance, I will leave the group, and you'll be on your own."
I will never participate in any of your actions, nor will I use my abilities to do anything for you.
In short, just pretend I don't exist.
Gan Lingling's words left the four of them looking at each other in surprise. They never expected that Gan Lingling would be so resolute.
I'd rather be alone than go with them.
Although Gan Lingling is a support-oriented Shaman-type Ability User with little combat power, her support abilities are very strong.
Without such assistance, their operations would be difficult to succeed.
Jiang Wen shook her head and said, "Forget it, I've decided to listen to this Shaman-type Ability User. Her premonitions are much more reliable than ours."
She was already indecisive, and after hearing what Gan Lingling said, she simply gave up on the idea of exploring the Instance.
Rewards are important, but preserving your current experience points is even more important.
Du Ze also made up his mind, "Since you all say so, then I've made up my mind too."
Continuing to explore would certainly yield great results, but the chances are too slim.
Zhu Heng said helplessly, "Are you really not going to reconsider? This is Anomalous Instance! Instance no one will die, and the rewards are much richer than any other Instance you've ever cleared."
Cao Wenzhe also said, "Yes, it's not easy to come across an Anomalous Instance, are you really not going to consider it?"
"Once you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another one."
"We're not considering it anymore," both Du Ze and Jiang Wen decided.
Moreover, their beliefs are very firm.
Since they choose to believe Gan Lingling that this is Anomalous Instance, what reason do they have not to believe her claim that they cannot clear this Instance?
They don't need to challenge the prophecies of those with Shaman-type Ability User based on their own feelings.
Cao Wenzhe and Zhu Heng were filled with disappointment. They had been blinded by the rewards of the Anomalous Instance, and giving up now was simply too much to bear.
However, it's impossible for just the two of them to explore an Anomalous Instance.
This is clearly unwise.
The two exchanged a glance, both sensing the other's resentment.
They've now made a decision: to follow those three people for now, even if the situation changes.
If nothing changes, they can wait until the teleportation point opens tomorrow before continuing their exploration.
Although they only had half an hour left, they could still try their luck.
If you're lucky, it's still possible to get Instance and escape unscathed.
Moreover, these people might change their minds.
Cao Wenzhe said, "Alright, since you all say so, let's do it your way."
"Where should we go now?" Zhu Heng asked.
All eyes were on Gan Lingling, a support-oriented Shaman-type Ability User who could foresee good and bad fortune.
Since they don't plan to clear the Instance or fight the boss, Gan Lingling is undoubtedly the most important person in the team.
Of course, you should listen to her in this matter.
Gan Lingling closed her eyes and used her ability again.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, pointed to a path on the left, and said, "Go that way, all the way to the edge of the Instance."
They are currently in a city, some distance from the Monster Factory.
The city is very large, and the road that Gan Lingling pointed to was in the opposite direction from Monster Factory.
If they follow the path Gan Lingling points out, they will get further and further away from the Monster Factory, the center of the mission.
Although they will encounter humans who were transformed into monsters by the scientist in the Instance, they will not encounter the scientist, who is also the Instance's boss.
Comparatively speaking, they will be much safer, but that also means they will have no access to the core of the Instance.
All rewards in the Instance are irrelevant to them.
"Are you sure you want to go that way?" Zhu Heng questioned.
"Going that way, we'll get further and further away from the Monster Factory. Besides, even if we survive until tomorrow, the teleportation point isn't there. We'll have to walk a long way back."
"I'm very sure," Gan Lingling said.
"I've tried many methods, and this is our only hope."
But the chances aren't very high.
As for exploring this Instance as you suggested, that's simply courting death."
Hearing Gan Lingling's words, everyone felt a sense of oppression.
After all, this was a premonition from Shaman-type Ability User, and its accuracy was extremely high, which showed that their situation was indeed very bad.
