As usual, Bai Zhi sat in the last row of the bus, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at the System Prompt message that only he could see.
An overall performance rating of B is understandable, considering the second save was caused by him; he originally thought his rating would be even lower...
Overall, this Mandatory Quest wasn't actually that difficult. Under normal circumstances, Players could complete the mission after their first save. However, because there was likely a Fallen Species One in the team, the mission didn't go Perfect this time.
Bai Zhi's original plan was to first find and eliminate the Fallen Species in the team, and then lead the team to clear out the Anomaly in the building one by one to gain greater benefits. However, his cleverness backfired, and he was indeed too clever for his own good.
Based on the total number of Anomaly eliminated by all Player shown in the settlement, Bai Zhi was already able to vaguely deduce the process of this mission.
Firstly, the reason for the first save/load reload is most likely due to the sudden darkening of the sky, which caused a surge in the number of Anomaly inside the building, resulting in a reduction in the number of party members and necessitating a full save/load reload.
After the first save/load occurs, the survivors will quickly deduce the conditions for the save/load and inform everyone. Even if the Traveler doesn't speak, they will share this information themselves.
However, after the first save, perhaps because his group didn't encounter Anomaly formed from the corpses of Player who died in the previous save, or perhaps because the first save was a safe period to protect the Player, he couldn't deduce the rule that dead Player would become Anomaly and that the number of Anomaly would accumulate.
His biggest mistake came here.
Unlike the initial group exploration before the first save, after understanding the rules of save-loading, the group should stick together. Also, since there's no pressure of death, everyone should be frantically exploring the Anomaly inside the building after this first save.
Regarding the extra reward, even without mentioning him, Traveler could easily deduce that it's related to the number of Anomaly they've eliminated.
The exaggerated figure of twenty-five Anomaly eliminated in the bonus rewards likely originated from the accumulation after this first save/load.
--Don't be fooled by their use of Gasoline to block the path of the Anomaly when they finally escaped from the rooftop; in reality, they didn't manage to eliminate a single Anomaly.
The saying "high risk, high reward" isn't without merit. Without the pressure of death, everyone gets incredibly arrogant... perhaps?
Take Bai Zhi for example. Even though the final plan encountered some unexpected problems that made the mission less than Perfect, the extra rewards he received were substantial, almost double the base reward. Isn't that appealing?
Unfortunately, between the first save and the second, some unforeseen events occurred within the party, resulting in the deaths of most members and necessitating a second save.
Of course, this accident could be due to a large number of monsters spawning, which led to a BOSS appearing in the area and causing heavy casualties to the team. However, Bai Zhi is more inclined to believe that there was a traitor within the team.
His Perfect Skill might not be very powerful offensively, but they were absolutely top-notch in terms of survival, which is why he was able to remain the last survivor from beginning to end.
With his Perfect Skill that shouldn't exist at this Level, if he wanted to save his Teammate, saving one or two wouldn't be a problem, let alone all of them. After all, the condition for reloading the save isn't that only one person is left dead; he has every possibility of saving one or two other Teammate.
... unless there's a problem with your Teammate.
This general information was the conclusion he had drawn in his mind when he entered the Orphanage and saw his six Teammate gathered downstairs.
Apart from him, everything went back to the way it was before the first save file load.
He didn't object to the group exploration, since it would allow him to more effectively find the mole within the team. Once he found and eliminated the mole, he would reveal this information to his Teammate and lead them to continue grinding monsters in the building for greater profits... This was the plan he devised after his first save.
However, due to the discovery of the Player's corpse at the Traveler's place, he realized the seriousness of the problem and had to change his plans midway. Instead of pursuing greater gains, he chose to complete the game Speedy Clear, thus missing the opportunity to uncover the truth behind all the anomalies that occurred at the Orphanage.
As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to another, and even the wisest person can make a mistake. This is probably the gist of it.
"The Old Director is definitely involved in what happened at the Orphanage. The figure I saw last was definitely him... and judging from the contents of that Diary, this anomaly had already occurred several months ago..."
Biting his thumb, Bai Zhi frowned slightly as he looked out the window.
"If we infer from this perspective, the Old Director should also be a Player, and might even be a Launch Player... If that's the case, then some things can be explained, such as the source of his tuition fees when Previous Self university..."
Thinking of this, Bai Zhi frowned deeply.
Previous Self predecessor grew up in Orphanage, which was already in disrepair. If the Old Director really had saved up some money for his retirement, based on his memory of the Old Director would have used that money to repair the Orphanage.
Three months ago, exactly when the Anomaly broke out and the Player appeared.
"Wait, if that's the case..."
As if he had just thought of something, Bai Zhi quickly took out his phone and started searching, focusing mainly on the children in the Orphanage.
Then, he found this result.
--Before Orphanage collapsed without warning, the children there had gone camping together over the weekend, and thus luckily escaped the disaster.
