I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 993 523: Battle Royale, But the Monsters Are on the Run

"This time they actually sent us to a small village, it's a real headache." Da Tianwei was a bit speechless.

"No one here, at least abandoned for a decade." Shura spoke.

This time their identity was that of backpackers, planning to live in this village for a while.

"Our roles are becoming increasingly perfunctory; this time they simply brushed it off." Gu Shanhai also joined in complaining.

The challenge task is relatively simple; this time, there is no requirement on how to deal with ghosts. Instead, it's straightforward to kill enough ghosts within ten days to destroy the nodes and thus summon the BOSS for elimination.

This is not an easy task, but rather very difficult, indicating they're not pretending anymore, just letting you cause damage. And the reason for not pretending anymore is naturally because the difficulty has increased.

Fortunately, this time, they also provided things in advance. What Da Tianwei and Shura received was unclear to Gu Shanhai; anyway, he received a book called "Cycle of Civilization."

This quite solved Gu Shanhai's urgent needs. This time the instance is very special, seemingly delivering whatever the player lacks.

If not, based on current instance gains, Shura and Da Tianwei would have no benefits at all, so besides the foods Gu Shanhai had that could increase attributes and states, it should be the rewards after entering the instance.

Even someone of Gu Shanhai's strength could be tempted, let alone Shura and Da Tianwei.

"Battle Royale, huh? Do you chase while I investigate?" Shura looked at Da Tianwei.

"Alright, I'll try to buy time." Da Tianwei was no longer in a hurry to clear the level because it was genuinely not possible to do it quickly.

"However, the restrictions are getting more severe. In the village, our attack can no longer harm the ghosts unless specific weapons are used. It's really troublesome."

Da Tianwei's expression showed annoyance; from the relevant ghost-killing rules, he could know that he needed to find a weapon, which would be endowed with related ghost-killing abilities.

Roughly hitting the ghost a certain number of times would directly kill the opponent.

Besides, there's personal restriction; once the weapon is held, attributes like HP, defense, and recovery are retained, but others like movement speed and attack speed will be suppressed.

Of course, you might think dropping the weapon restores, and it can cause damage but won't be counted in kill numbers or destroy ghost progress.

It's truly torturous.

Unlike the previous instance, this time it's self-chosen torture.

"Endure it, at least now we still have many advantages." Shura was also displeased by this; without so many restrictions, with the ghosts' strength, they could be crushed with a backhand.

Gu Shanhai was reading, and this "Cycle of Civilization" was like snow in the scorching sun for him, greatly advancing the progress of the civilization bud in his hand. Previously it was called a seed when it hadn't sprouted; now that it has sprouted, calling it a seed is no longer appropriate.

So now, he is multitasking, analyzing the human world's transcendent civilization system while also reading to continuously push the civilization bud forward.

As for what this thing would become after sprouting, Gu Shanhai didn't care. Ultimately, it all becomes a Peeping Realm; whether it turns into plants or animals is merely superficial.

"True, the fourth and fifth might not even have this much advantage." Da Tianwei's expression showed helplessness; as the instance progresses, while rewards increase, so does difficulty.

The All Ghosts Survival Platform can't increase the strength of ghosts, but it can suppress their strength, putting them on the same level as the ghosts.

"The ghosts should arrive at midnight, we still have a day to prepare." Gu Shanhai said.

Although suppressed by the All Ghosts Survival Platform's rules, this is still part of the human world, and they are part of this human world faction, so they arrived twelve hours early this time.

Currently, it is just noon.

Gu Shanhai was pondering why they were sent away at midnight previously, but they arrived here at noon.

He didn't know if it was due to time difference or controlled time flow, or simply dropping them into a specific timeline node.

Anyway, he didn't feel any difference.

However, it can be determined that their task hasn't started yet, meaning the ten-day countdown will start at midnight, not now.

From this point, one can see that as suppression rules apply, support from the human world gradually appears. Although not enough to have other humans help, it can still provide some indirect support, even if minimally.

"I reckon it's a Bai Gui Sect village, everyone must be gone, hopefully, we can find some relevant items." Shura, after learning about the important clue of the Bai Gui Sect, seemed to have found a backbone; the rest is just to dig it out.

"Teleportation Array?"

"Just looking at the current situation, the BOSS is likely not in a segmented state."

Gu Shanhai kindly reminded him. He hadn't investigated the BOSS situation, but based on past experience, this All Ghosts Survival Platform uses Bai Gui Sect personnel to create fusion-type ghosts.
