Mission Error-Correction Feature

The scene before him changed, and Luo Jun returned to his dormitory.

It was the middle of the night, and with the curtains drawn, the room was pitch black, but that didn't affect Luo Jun much. He took off the Midnight Mask and put it into his Hundred Treasure Box, then took off his clothes and casually tossed them into the washing machine.

Because he had run through the lava pit, his clothes originally had many burn marks, but now they were completely restored, with no trace of charring.

Although Luo Jun hadn't used it much, it actually had a healing effect after completing the Chaos Mission, not only for the physical body but also for repairing personal clothing.

Of course, outside of missions, ordinary clothes are much more fragile and can easily be torn or burned if not handled carefully, which is quite troublesome.

Looking in the mirror at his bare shorts, Luo Jun couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to have Bottom Line; no matter what you do, you won't expose yourself."

After a quick wash, Luo Jun lay on the bed, touched his wristwatch, and began to examine the replica of the Gate of Myriad Realms and the Breath of Myth within the Hundred Treasure Box.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Jun began to attempt the fusion.

This simple operation can be completed inside the Hundred Treasure Box without even taking it out.

Luo Jun took out a mask and tossed it to the Tomb King: "Put it on!"

That's interesting...

Secondly, the genuine Gate of Myriad Realms is already in someone's hands. This kind of Mythic Treasure Item can only appear in legendary Tier S Mission. There are not many people qualified to participate in such missions. Luo Jun estimated that the person who possesses this treasure, even if not at the Ascension Realm, is at least Peak Expert.

Besides, what use is it if I only have my own appearance? Can I have someone else impersonate me?

Luo Jun wasn't sure. If he really lost the ability to create doors, even if he obtained a Mythic Treasure Item, Luo Jun felt it wouldn't be appropriate. Even if he used dice, he didn't know how difficult it would be to retain it, and if he failed, the losses would outweigh the gains.

Wait... someone else?

Luo Jun had a sudden inspiration. He took out the Tomb King's Ash Urn, infused it with vital energy, and a lich exuding Death Aura appeared in the room.

Luo Jun fiddled with the mask in his hand, thinking to himself that this thing had a pretty amazing effect. However, to record a person's appearance, it needed to be placed on the target's face. If the other person cooperated, it would be fine, but if they didn't, it would be quite inconvenient.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with my operation?" Luo Jun frowned. Out of curiosity, he focused his attention on the Breath of Myth and found an extra line of prompts in the instructions.

When I reached out and touched it, the texture of both my fingers and face was unchanged; I couldn't tell I was wearing a mask at all.

How do we pick it off?

With a thought, Luo Jun swept his fingertips with his spiritual energy, and the mask detached from his face, returning to its original form. However, his own image was now added to the record.

"Master, the great Tomb King is at your command..."

Luo Jun tried putting the mask on his face. As soon as the mask touched his skin, it softened and covered his entire face. After a moment, it turned into a skin-like material.

Luo Jun got out of bed and looked in the mirror. His appearance hadn't changed at all, since there was no record of it, so it was assumed to be his natural appearance.

First, for Legendary Treasure Item that already have advanced versions, the advancement of the Breath of Myth is not a true enhancement, but rather a replacement of the advanced version of the Noble Phantasm retrieved from the Chaos. Mythic Treasure Item, on the other hand, should be unique and could not possibly exist in the hands of two people at the same time.

According to the instructions, forcibly strengthening it will cause it to change in an uncontrollable direction... Just how uncontrollable will it be? Will the ability to travel between worlds still be retained?

"The upgraded version of this Noble Phantasm is already in someone else's possession and cannot be restored. If we insist on evolving it, the Noble Phantasm will change in an uncontrollable direction. Is that certain?"

The two great treasures were moved to adjacent compartments within the box, but when Luo Jun tried to activate the effect of the Breath of Myth by injecting his vital energy, he failed.

Luo Jun narrowed his eyes; this prompt provided him with two pieces of information.

A scan of the screen showed no faces were recorded.

Let's leave it at that for now. If all else fails, we can try again when we have the chance to use the Gate of Myriad Realms twice and have one chance left.

The evolution of the Gate of Myriad Realms failed, and Luo Jun took out the Imposter Mask again. This thing looked like an ordinary mask, hard as a board, with a texture similar to wood, no patterns, and a very rough design.

The Tomb King obeyed the order, and the mask was placed on his face. It immediately transformed into flowing water, spreading from his cheeks to his entire body, covering the Tomb King's tattered armor and exposed bones, and even concealing his chilling aura.

A moment later, another Luo Jun stood before the original.

"It really is exactly the same!" Luo Jun pinched the fake's face, scratched his hair, and spun around it twice. There wasn't a single flaw.

"Say a few words," Luo Jun instructed.

"I am the great Tomb King, the oldest ruler, the King of Kings..."

"No, no, no... you can't say that." Luo Jun waved his hand. "Remember next time, when you're wearing a mask, speak casually, say things I would normally say..."

It has to be said, this Imposter Mask is truly amazing. After the Tomb King put it on, his tone, voice, and demeanor were exactly the same as Luo Jun's. However, his thoughts couldn't be changed. Using the appearance and demeanor of an ordinary college student, saying things like "I am the Emperor" and "King of Kings" was just too childish...

Fortunately, the Tomb King was quite obedient as Summoned Creature, and after some simple training, most of his bad habits were corrected... As for his memories, he was an orphan with no relatives in the world and no acquaintances in the school, so it was easy to deal with.

Moreover, this Tomb King can exist forever. With him, someone can go to school for him when doing Chaos Mission in the future. It's perfect!

The experiment was a success. Luo Jun retrieved the Tomb King and put the Cinerary Urn and the Imposter Mask back into the Hundred Treasure Box.

Although the evolution of the Gate of Myriad Realms failed, the effect of the Imposter Mask was unexpectedly good, and Luo Jun was generally quite satisfied.

While Luo Jun was happily conducting his experiment, Lao Miao Miao was reporting on the details of the mission in the college's Administration Building.

Because the Chaos Mission can occur at any time and in any place, the Chaos Mission Zone remains open even late at night, with teachers on duty. Students come in to participate in the quests from time to time, and occasionally students leave after returning from the quests.

Unlike Luo Jun, who only remembers two reincarnations, Lao Miao Miao spent the past dozen or so hours on a mission under tension and the threat of death. Although she has successfully returned, she is mentally exhausted and feels completely drained.

However, considering the special nature of this mission, she did not rest immediately upon returning, but instead reported the situation of the mission to the teacher on duty.

The fact that Chaos Creature were distorting the mission rules was something that had never been heard of before. The teacher on duty took it very seriously and immediately reported it to the night supervisor, who then took her to the Administration Building to explain the details.

"So, you were the only one who received the hidden mission?" Professor Song Yi happened to be on night duty today. Looking at the notes in his hand, he saw that Lao Miao Miao had already given a general account of the mission, and now he was asking about the details.

"Yes..." Before the conversation, Lao Miao Miao received Soothing and relaxation from her Spell Faction teacher, which greatly relieved her mental fatigue, and she seemed to be in pretty good condition.

"The mission information, besides telling me that the rules have been distorted and that I need to find Hidden Key to truly pass the level, also warns me not to leak the information. If I fail, I will be given six chances to try again; if I fail all of them, then the Mimic Person wins, and I will enter the Annihilation Program..."

"What about the others? Won't they undergo the Annihilation Program with you?" Song Yi asked.

Lao Miao Miao shook her head. "According to the mission information, the other participants, including the Mimic Person, cannot detect the existence of reincarnation. In their eyes, it's just an ordinary mission... If they succeed, the humans take the reward; if they fail, the Mimic Person take the reward... Only I, if I fail in all seven reincarnations, will have to undergo the Annihilation Program..."

She paused, then continued, "Why me... why did they have to choose me..."

"It should just be random..." Song Yi adjusted his glasses. "Based on my speculation, this time it should have triggered the error correction mechanism of the Chaos Mission..."

"Error correction mechanism?" Lao Miao Miao was stunned for a moment; this was a concept she had never heard of before.

Song Yi explained with a smile, "The Chaos Mission takes place on the platform of the Chaos World. Occasionally, it will be interfered with by Chaos Creature, causing errors, just like a bug in Game. At this time, the Mission System will correct the error. The common practice is to randomly select a mission participant to issue Hidden Mission and grant them some privileges, so that the mission can be put on the right track through their intervention."

"For example, this time, your seven chances to reincarnate are a privilege granted by the mission, allowing you to try and fail. The hidden reward for completing the mission will be very generous, but correspondingly, failure will result in a more severe punishment..."

Lao Miao Miao frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Does this kind of thing happen often?"

"Not very common..." Song Yi shook his head. "Occasionally, and even when it happens, usually only the person chosen will notice, so we don't have much data. It's just a matter of luck, don't take it too seriously."

As he spoke, Song Yi looked at Lao Miao Miao and asked, "By the way, could I ask what the reward was in the last blind box you opened?"

"Of course, it's your privacy, it's okay if you don't tell me."

"It's nothing..." Lao Miao Miao generously took out a pair of gloves. "This is a reward from my blind box, Epic-level, the effect seems so-so..."

Song Yi picked it up, glanced at it, and then handed it back. "Thank you for your cooperation. Do you know who got that final legendary reward?"

"Legendary?" Lao Miao Miao thought for a moment. "Zheng Ji and Cui Zheng Hai have both explicitly stated that they are Rare-level rewards. Only Ye and Zhu Sanyang are uncertain. I think Zhu Sanyang's chances are higher..."

"I see..." Song Yi nodded. "Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Go back and get some rest. If you feel tired, you can ask for leave tomorrow. I'll talk to your teacher."

"Furthermore, it's best not to disclose the specific details of this mission to others, nor to post information on forums. Missions that malfunction like this are rare, and in many cases, even the official team isn't fully aware of the situation. Before a conclusion is reached, rumors can easily spread, causing negative consequences."

"I see..."

Lao Miao Miao got up to say goodbye. After watching her leave, Song Yi looked at the information recorded in the notebook.

"Twisting the mission rules comes at a considerable cost... And after mission failure, they even went so far as to open Chaos Space to forcibly seize it... These costs are equivalent to at least two legendary-level Noble Phantasms..."

Song Yi stroked his chin. "What exactly is it that makes these Chaos Creature so determined to obtain it?"

Back in the dormitory area, with the mountain night breeze blowing, Lao Miao Miao felt much more relaxed.

He opened his bedroom door, sat on the bed, and began to regulate his Inner Breath.

Although she had been on a mission for more than ten hours, each rewind would restore her body to the state it was in when she first entered the mission. Combined with the healing effect when the mission was completed, her body was now in its best condition, and her energy was abundant.

After Spirit Pacification by her Spell Faction teacher and through meditation, her mental fatigue was greatly relieved, and she quickly achieved optimal balance in both body and mind.

Feeling that her internal energy had already reached its limit, Lao Miao Miao took out the Imposter Essence.

She's currently at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, and the probability of breaking through to the sixth level is less than one percent; she's tried many times without success. Now that she has this item, she certainly can't let the opportunity slip by!

Although advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm would increase the Protective Qi Strength, which would be more beneficial than breaking through to the Body Refinement Realm, considering her own abilities, Lao Miao Miao still chose to break through to the Body Refinement Realm first!

After being injected with the Imposter Essence, she immediately felt a slight tingling sensation throughout her body, her heart raced, her five senses changed, and she could feel her strength increasing to a certain extent...

But none of that mattered. Taking advantage of the buffs spreading throughout her body, she began her attempt to break through to the sixth level of the Body Refinement Realm!

With each cycle of energy circulation, she could feel her body gradually becoming stronger under the nourishment of vital energy. Finally, after the Last One cycle ended, her vital energy suddenly dissipated, and she returned to her Origin.

As expected, it failed, but Lao Miao Miao was prepared for it.

However, under the protection of the Imposter Essence, the failure only caused her body and energy to regress to a bottleneck period, but did not enter a closed state, so she can try to break through again!

Failed again... Let's try again!

Time passed second by second, and after round after round of attempts, finally, after nearly three hours of effort, just as the effects of the medicine were about to wear off, Lao Miao Miao felt a surge of powerful and abundant vital energy rising up!

It's done?!

She actually succeeded! The success rate for the sixth level of the Body Refinement Realm was less than one percent, and she actually broke through!!

She's only twenty years old!

You must know that this slim chance of breaking through has left countless geniuses at a loss!

Every Great Family can find one or two geniuses who reach the Heart Refining Realm before the age of twenty, but those who can reach the sixth level of the Body Refinement Realm at the age of twenty can probably be counted on one hand in the entire Zhendan!

Countless Peerless Genius with formidable Heart Refining Realm abilities, capable of commanding wind and rain, have been stuck at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment due to bad luck, unable to make progress even after ten years.

Even more dangerous is that if one becomes famous at an older age and fails to break through to the next level, falling into a period of energy blockage, enemies are likely to take advantage of the situation and come after them. Without the protection of a powerful elder, it can be extremely dangerous. Therefore, many experts, if they fail to break through in their youth, simply give up and focus on studying the ability to Mind Condensation.

In short, the breakthrough brought Lao Miao Miao great joy. In her happiness, she thought of the masked man again.

Without him, I definitely wouldn't have made it through this mission. He not only saved my life, but also gave me the chance to break through...

Lao Miao Miao gave the potion out of genuine kindness, even though she knew its value and wanted to repay the life-saving debt. But to her surprise, Ye refused.

In that case, wouldn't I owe him twice...?

Lao Miao Miao sat on the bed, hugging her knees, a blush rising on her cute round face.

"Oh, right, when he refused, he seemed to say he didn't need it..." Lao Miao Miao's eyes darted around, "Could it be that he didn't mean to give it to me, and really didn't need it?"

Unlike Sun Xiaowei, who was blinded by love, Lao Miao Miao was a more rational person. She suddenly found a reasonable explanation for Luo Jun's rejection.

So, does that mean he's already at the seventh level of the Capital Cultivation Realm? And he's so young!

By the way, some people on the forum speculated that he was actually a Peak Expert... Judging from his swift and decisive attack on the Mimic Person, his foundation was definitely very solid, and he was in a state of Hidden Qi during the battle, which shows that the strength of his energy was also extremely high... Looking at it this way, it's really possible!

The more Lao Miao Miao analyzed it, the more reasonable it seemed. Finally, she came to a conclusion:

Even if you 'Peak your Peak, you still like treasures. Such a precious artifact could at least be sold for money. The fact that you didn't take it means you deliberately gave it to me. Humph!
