Chaos Resistance

"Ding Han?"

Not far away, Ruolin walked over; she had also left the Lost Land.

"What's wrong with you? You seem completely lost. Who brought you back just now? Could it be...?"

"Hmm, Chaos Demon Lord, Berserker."

I frowned. "He has an extremely long-range teleportation killing skill called Subspace Jump Slash, which allows him to traverse freely within the map. I thought he could break out of the Lost Land to kill people, which is why I activated invincibility immediately."

"We have also received the news."

She frowned slightly. "The elite players on the North American and European Server have basically all left the battlefield; they've been almost wiped out!"

"Yes, I know that."

Just then, the Chaos Demon King approached and said, "Ding Han, our Alliance Leader and the Guide are having tea behind the Teleportation Array and would like to invite you to join them."

"OK."

I led Ruolin around the Teleportation Array, and there we saw the Guide, Gun Like a Dragon, sitting at a small table on the breezy grass, drinking tea and looking quite refined.

He picked up two chairs and sat down opposite Ruolin.

"What's the situation in Lost Valley?" The Guide asked.

"The situation is terrible."

I took a sip of the bitter Pu'er Pu'er and said, "The teams led by Moon Soil, Elizabeth, Blood and Sand, and others were all trapped in Lost Valley, and their fate was almost 100% wiped out. The Berserker has an enhanced Subspace Jump Slash skill with no cooldown and no line of sight restrictions. As long as he is within the map, he can lock onto the target and warp to kill. That's how he killed me back."

"Damn, this is insane?"

Gun Like a Dragon frowned. " With the Subspace Jump Slash being so powerful, if there were no cooldown or vision restrictions, wouldn't he just be like the fully equipped Irelia in the old versions of LoL, just spamming Q to kill people?"

"Not only that, his Subspace Jump Slash has also been enhanced into an area-of-effect (AOE) damage attack."

"Damn it..."

The Gun Like a Dragon, leaving everyone speechless; even the tea in their hands lost its flavor.

"It seems our GM team underestimated the power of the Lost Land..."

The Guide frowned. "We originally planned to strike first, launching an S/ SS-class Main Quest before the Chaos Faction in the warp completely occupied the Lost Land, using sheer numbers to give them a shock. But now... the Berserker is so overpowered, he's the one who's given us a shock instead..."

"So."

Ruolin smiled calmly, "This mission failed?"

Whether it's a failure or not, I don't know, but it certainly doesn't count as a success.

The Guide stood up, frowning, and said, "Damn it, we need to rearrange things, or we'll all die in the Lost Land."

I remained silent.

Looking at the task details, I'm still at the top of the Points on the right. If the task fails now, will all my Points be for nothing?

With a sigh, I suppose this is fate.

But just then, a bell rang in my ears, and the mission results appeared—

[System Notification: The chaotic power from the subspace far exceeds everyone's imagination. The number of players who have died in the Lost Land has suddenly surged. After system deliberation, the mission "The Truth of the Lost Land" (SSS-rank) has been declared a failure! Congratulations on ranking first on the player Points! As compensation for the failure, you receive the following rewards: 80 million character experience, 1 Charm Value, 5000 Reputation Value, and super compensation rewards: "Ice Flame Battle Helm" (Quality: Chaos-rank, S9, Brown) and "Resurrection Sacred Canon" (S-rank recovery item)!]

[Congratulations! You are the first player in the entire server to obtain the "Chaos-rank S9 Brown" equipment. Rewards: Achievement +3, Charm Value +1!]

"..."

I stared in disbelief at the system message.

Is this the compensation for failing the mission? The first S9 Chaos-rank equipment in the entire server?

If this succeeds, wouldn't it just give me an S10 Void-rank item?!

Suppressing his joy, he silently opened the Dimensional Storage Space and his gaze fell on a brownish-red helmet. The helmet had a unique design and was surrounded by a faint aura of chaos. After a brief pause, its attributes appeared.

[Ice Flame Battle Helm] (Quality: Chaos-rank, S9, Brown)

Rank: Sixth Tier

Defense: 1580

Strength: +80

Physical strength: +78

Agility: +75

Specialty: Accuracy +150

Blessing: Damage Reduction +5%

Specialty: Attack damage +24%

Blessing: Divine Power-III, increases attack power by 1500 points.

Blessing: Resilience, increases your Max Health 15,000 points.

Biography: The Ice Flame Battle Helm, a treasure originating from the Warp, is extremely sturdy and contains some kind of mysterious Warp power.

Strength required: 1300

Required Agility: 700

As an S9-rank helmet, the Ice Flame Battle Helm's base stats are indeed significantly improved compared to the S8 Lurker's Helm.

However, the Ice Flame Battle Helm lacks Burst Skill, while the Lurker's Helm has a burrowing ability.

Escape is a very useful explosive skill. In the surprise attack on No. 17, and in the Lost Temple, he survived the 60-second attack of Chi Gu. In these two battles, Escape made great achievements!

But it still needs to be replaced; the equipment must be upgraded until the S11 Eternal-rank equipment.

Eternal-grade equipment is called the gatekeeper of ultimate equipment because starting from S11 level, equipment has four attributes: strength, agility, spirit, and stamina. All four attributes are guaranteed, so as long as you wear a set of Eternal-grade or higher equipment, you can ensure that your four attributes are not much weaker than others.

In addition, there is a line of tiny print in the information about the Subspace Storm in version 4.0.

Starting with the S9 Chaos-rank equipment, there has always been a hidden attribute – Chaos Resistance!

In other words, starting from S9-rank equipment, there is a hidden increase in Psionic Resistance. This attribute is quite crucial. Although the specific data is not visible, it allows players to withstand powerful Psionic Storm and survive to the end in the later stages of the game.

Besides, the Ice Flame Battle Helm has such strong attributes, so of course it needs to be replaced, it absolutely must be replaced!

As for burrowing underground, there's a way to have the best of both worlds.

That is to say, the Lurker's Helmet is also kept. When you need to escape from the ground, you can just take it out and replace it temporarily.

With a "click," the equipment change was complete, and Combat Power exceeded 120,000!

Continue, there are still quite a few boxes in the storage space that can be opened.

So, he opened all the boxes in one go, accumulating a large amount of Experience Points.

Then the upgrade began, and two golden beams descended from the sky in succession, instantly reaching level 62!

In addition, the Dimensional Storage Space has been expanded to 255 cubic meters, which is quite terrifying. It's more than enough to fit my Maybach.

Speaking of which, that car is still parked at the Workers' Stadium. I need to drive it home, otherwise Lin Qingying's white Bentley will look very lonely parked there all by itself.

Outside the Teleportation Array, everyone was listless.

The mission was over, and although it failed, the compensation and rewards were quite generous, so many people still had smiles on their faces.

"Boss!"

Cai Cai, Aji, and Fatty walked over, and the five of them stepped into the Teleportation Array, returning to Huaining City.

Among the crowd in the black market, a man with a horse-like face still stood out like a firefly in the night, but this time, when Old Ma saw us, his expression was clearly different from before, as if he had survived a disaster.

"Old Ma, it's so good to see you're still alive!" I said thankfully.

"Yes..."

Old Ma gave a wry smile, walked straight up to me, gave me a hug, patted me on the back, and said, "It's good to be alive. Come on, let's go to my office!"

Inside the warehouse, the transaction begins.

There weren't many high-level equipment drops this time, but there were tons of cyan equipment. Little by little, it added up, and I ended up making over 9 million, with my account balance reaching a whopping 45 million!

In the Star Abyss World, there aren't many people who actually have that much cash; even Lin Qingying might not have that much pocket money.

Of course, she's a businesswoman; she invests all her money to make more money, so comparing her to others is a bit unfair.

After the transaction was completed, everyone visited Kou Mei, Faye, and Bingzi in the black market. The three of them were almost in tears, especially when they saw my level 62, they were all very envious.

"Drop!"

A message came from Gun Like a Dragon: "If you haven't left, come to the conference room in a bit. The Guide needs to hold a meeting to understand the current situation in the Lost Land."

OK.

Ruolin, Cai Cai, and the others off, he went to the conference hall alone.

Upon opening the door, they discovered that the leader-level players from major guilds in Huaining City, including Worldly Uncontested Shen Jin, Shen Yaoyao, Yao Yao, and Wall Observer, were all there.

"Ding Han, please sit down."

After gesturing for me to sit down, the Guide said, "I know everyone is quite tired, so this meeting will be very brief. It's just to get a general understanding of the current situation in the Lost Land and analyze how our Player Faction should respond. Please feel free to speak your mind and provide any important information."

The Worldly Uncontested explained some of the Chaos Beast's habits and weaknesses, while the Shen Jin provided information on the distribution density and quantity of monsters.

"So..."

The Guide said, "Currently, apart from Lost Valley, most of the Lost Land map is actually safe. There is only one Chaos Demon Lord in the Lost Land right now, and that is Berserker. According to the last intelligence we obtained, the Chaos Demon Lord is resting in Lost Valley after killing people and there is no sign of him invading outwards."

He concluded, "So we players can still level up in the Lost Land, provided we stay as far away as possible from the Lost Valley in the center."

"Right!"

The Gun Like a Dragon, Shen Jin nodded in agreement.

"Actually, that's not quite right."

I said, "There isn't just one Chaos Demon Lord in the Lost Land. I once used an S-rank Map scroll to enter a hidden map called the Lost Temple, where I met another Chaos Demon Lord, the third-ranked Obsessed Gu. Although Obsessed Gu's true form can only exist in the material world for a very short time, I feel that she could return at any time."

"Holy crap, there's one more..."

The Guide hurriedly wrote down the information about the Obsessed Gu in his notebook and said, "Ding Han, continue. Give me a detailed explanation of the Obsessed Gu."

I didn't know much, so I said everything I could.

Finally, the Guide said in a deep voice, "Given the appearance of a second Chaos Demon Lord in the Lost Land, we do not recommend going Lost Land in the near future. Avoid it if possible. In the current version, leveling up by hunting insects or other creatures is much safer than going to the Lost Land. Please remember this!"

Everyone nodded, and then the meeting adjourned.

I glanced at the time; it was noon.

So he sent Lin Qingying a message: "Qingying, I'm back. I wanted to come over for a meal, but you'll have to wait a bit. I need to go to the Workers' Stadium to get my car first."

"Come quickly, I'm waiting for you!"
