Chapter 217 Too Excellent (Extra Monthly Ticket) _2
Where did it come from...
Wen Nan was deep in thought and fell asleep without realizing it.
...
...
Outside Doctor Lu's medicine room.
After successfully locking in his strategy character, Luo Wei quickly left the villa and hurried to the respawn point.
Wang Hao, Zhao Lei, and Li Zhenbei, under Wen Nan's guidance, continued to hold their ground, waiting for the "maternity room" in front of them to "hatch" their lost strategy characters.
Although it seemed very strange, they chose to trust the big shot.
They waited for a long time, yet the door showed no signs of opening.
The three players were really anxious, pressing their ears against the door crevice to carefully listen to the sounds inside the room—
First, the sound of metal instruments clashing, followed by muffled noises, like the sound of a sharp object tearing through flesh, and then, painful moaning...
What's going on?
Could it really be childbirth? Or a cesarean section?
The three players were full of questions, focusing intently, when suddenly, with a "creak", the door opened.
Their heads suddenly lost support, causing them to tumble into the room.
Doctor Lu frowned, looking down at the three sprawled on the floor, "What are you doing outside my door?"
Li Zhenbei propped himself up to stand, catching sight of Doctor Lu's bloodstained shoe tips. Suddenly inspired, he drew a military dagger from his waist and stabbed at the other's foot.
Doctor Lu was startled, failing to dodge in time.
In Li Zhenbei's mind, the system prompts of "Target Locked", "Verification Successful", and "First Main Quest Completed" sounded sequentially.
"Success!"
Retracting the dagger, Li Zhenbei dashed out of the medicine room without looking back.
Doctor Lu watched the departing back with a bewildered expression, as the other two men approached him.
One wielded a mountain axe, the other a pitch-black handgun, with eerie smiles on their faces as they closed in on him.
...
...
In the guest room on the sixth floor.
Wen Nan slept deeply without dreaming. Upon waking, the main quest countdown in his mind had entered the final stage—
[00:05:36—]
Did he really sleep for over five hours?
It seems that the research on the use of the little umbrella with Yu Shouling exhausted too much "energy", leaving his body somewhat depleted.
Rubbing his slightly sore temples, Wen Nan got out of bed and hurried to the respawn point outside the villa.
Damn, back to that tent where you could freeze your head off.
Sigh, he really didn't want to go back.
With his hands in his pockets, Wen Nan returned to the respawn point, once again right on time.
As he stepped into the tent, he saw all the other players had arrived, coming towards him.
It looked like the first main quest was quite smooth.
Although a murder case caused one player to temporarily fall into crisis, all eight players eventually successfully found their TA.
A few players approached, intending to express their gratitude to Wen Nan, but the countdown on the floating screen above ended, and the prompts shifted—
[Now entering main quest settlement time]
[All contestants, please take your positions]
Like the previous settlement sessions on the map, a row of prompt words appeared on the light screen—[Contestant Han Feng, please confirm your identity].
Han Feng, the first player back to the respawn point, was so cold that his whole body trembled. He moved sluggishly to press the [Confirm] button, and in the next moment, the result appeared on the light screen—
[Contestant Han Feng, the main quest settlement is as follows:
Completion Status: Completed;
Task Rating: 68 points;
Task Rating: Average;
Extra Rewards: None;
Lock-in Target: 1. The Brave Female War God; 2. The Singing Lighter; 3. The Chef of Snow Mountain Villa;
Strategy Difficulty: ★★★★★★★★☆☆☆;
Livestream Heat Settlement: 963 Gold Coins;
Livestream Betting Settlement: 625 Gold Coins;
Livestream Reward Settlement: 100 Gold Coins;
Account Balance: 0 Gold Coins (all transferred to the [Wenna] Guild account).]
Immediately following Han Feng, Xu Dongsheng stepped forward to complete his task settlement, also receiving an "average" rating. Next, Liang Yiming settled, obtaining a higher score with a "good" rating.
However, Xu Dongsheng and Liang Yiming had a few hundred fewer gold coins than Han Feng.
It seems that this new map has very low popularity. If this instance is completed, the earnings for their [Wenna] Guild might be meager.
As he pondered, Wen Nan noticed that the atmosphere on-site was a bit strange—
Han Feng, Xu Dongsheng, and Liang Yiming, who had completed their settlements, looked at Luo Wei, who was still settling, with sympathy in their eyes.
Meanwhile, Wang Hao, Zhao Lei, and Li Zhenbei, who had not yet settled, looked at Luo Wei with terror in their eyes.
What happened?
Following Luo Wei's gaze, Wen Nan looked at his settlement result—
[Contestant Luo Wei, the main quest settlement is as follows:
Completion Status: Completed;
Task Rating: 69 points;
Task Rating: Average;
Extra Rewards: None;
Lock-in Target: Well-dressed Male Doctor → Sinister Male Doctor (due to the strategy target's skill traits, this target has growth potential and has been upgraded to the latest version for you);
Strategy Difficulty: ★★★★★★★★★★★★★☆☆☆;
Livestream Heat Settlement: 1,163 Gold Coins;
Livestream Betting Settlement: 715 Gold Coins;
Livestream Reward Settlement: 500 Gold Coins;
Account Balance: 0 Gold Coins (all transferred to the [Wenna] Guild account).]
Seeing this panel, Wen Nan instantly understood the problem.
It appears that Doctor Lu's "soul extraction" skill allowed him to successfully absorb the other three strategy characters into himself, causing his strategy difficulty to soar to twelve and a half stars!
It's even one star higher than Yu Shouling's eleven and a half stars.
But this is reasonable, as in the upcoming task, Wang Hao, Zhao Lei, and Li Zhenbei will join Luo Wei to navigate this same character.
A character being strategized by four players simultaneously needs to have a higher star level, or else there is a risk of the character being overused.
This should also be a protection mechanism for the character.
While thinking, the remaining three players also completed their task settlements.
Looking at the twelve and a half stars on the panel, the players' faces grew paler one by one.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the drafty tent grew increasingly heavy.
And this heaviness was quickly broken by the last settlement result—
[Contestant Ye Jiu, the main quest settlement is as follows:
Completion Status: Completed;
Task Rating: 101 points;
Task Rating: Too Excellent;
Extra Rewards: One Wish;
Lock-in Target: 1. Snow Mountain Villa's Mistress; 2. Designer and Builder of Snow Mountain Villa; 3. Alchemist; 4. Guardian of **** (identity pending unlock);
Strategy Difficulty: ★★★★★★★★★★★★☆☆☆;
Livestream Heat Settlement: 48,736 Gold Coins;
Livestream Betting Settlement: 219,861 Gold Coins;
Livestream Reward Settlement: 36,727 Gold Coins;
Account Balance: 1,842,013 Gold Coins.]
Looking at this settlement panel, Wen Nan was flooded with questions—
Can task ratings exceed the perfect score of 100 points? What is a "Too Excellent" rating?
Extra rewards include a wish? Can any wish be granted? Could he even wish for world peace?
