Chapter 217 · Volume 1

Designated Difficulty

Brother Invincible had been looking forward to this card ever since he first got his hands on it!
How many emotional rollercoasters had he endured in the meantime? He had gritted his teeth and pushed through them all.
Now, before he had even said a word, what were these people barking about?
If you are not satisfied, keep it to yourselves!
Brother Invincible thought quite boldly, but in his heart, he kept praying that this dungeon would not be like the random ones and that it absolutely must not reveal the ID of the person who opened it!
His reputation was already foul enough. He did not care if it got a little worse, but he did care about whether too many people would block him.
After all, in this godforsaken place, there was no way to survive alone.
After a brief pause, the system spoke again. Just as everyone thought it was about to announce the specific details of the dungeon, it brought up the rest day again.
【Dear players, the once-a-month rest day is indeed today! Although a player has used a Special Dungeon Opening Card, the date of the rest day will not change! It is still today!】
【Now, I will begin announcing the specific rules for the rest day!】
【First, there is no danger today! Because of this, this dungeon will be drawn from a pool of non-dangerous dungeons! Second, there are no mileage requirements today, but there are rewards for completing mileage tasks. Of course, wages must be paid on a rest day! Finally, there is no Highway Merge today, no cards can be used, and basic food sustenance is provided for free!】
【Speaking of which, I guess all you players must be curious about how this mysterious player, who used the Special Dungeon Opening Card, actually managed to use it?】
"The dog system is playing hard to get again!"
"What is the difference between the system and the person who opened the dungeon? They are both beasts!"
"No, talk about the food! Why are you saying all this useless stuff? Tell us what we are getting! Is it relief food?"
【Because this player used it last night! Since normal dungeons cannot be conducted at night, it was postponed to today!】
Cheng Shuili frowned. How impatient must this person be?
Using a dungeon opening card in the middle of the night?
If the system really accepted usage at night, wouldn't all of them who were still alive have to climb out of bed in the middle of the night to participate in a passionate dungeon battle royale?
And wasn't yesterday not even a rest day?
There was also a chance of drawing a dangerous type of dungeon.
Very good.
This person could be said to have done every evil deed possible.
Cheng Shuili stiffly pulled at the corner of her mouth and nodded slightly.
Referring to the incident with I am Lin Shuang, she did not believe the system's mouth would be so tight. It was saying everything now, and with the hatred drawn so intensely, it clearly had no intention of letting this dungeon opener off easily!
【First, announcing today's minimum food sustenance! Breakfast: None (affected by the dungeon opening), Lunch: None (affected by the dungeon opening), Dinner: Free white porridge, one-click collection, issued directly!】
Still stoking the hatred.
Cheng Shuili chuckled. Based on her understanding of the system, exposing this mysterious opener was definitely a done deal.
The regional channel began cursing again.
"What?? What did you say dinner was?"
"White porridge! White porridge, hahahahaha! Isn't this just relief food?! How are we any different from those disaster victims in ancient times now?"
"Hey, then don't drink it?"
"That won't do! White porridge is still porridge! It's been almost a month since I've had a proper meal, hahahaha. Finally, I can eat something good!"
"No, is that the point? Shouldn't the point be that the system would have provided breakfast and lunch, but it was ruined by this damn beast who used the Special Dungeon Opening Card!"
"Damn, I don't even dare to imagine what lunch would have been. It must have been rice, right? With the system's meal standards, there had to be at least one dish, right? Rice and a dish... my mouth is already starting to water."
"Whoever opened the dungeon... damn you..."
...
The insults were too filthy.
Cheng Shuili closed the regional channel.
The system had gone silent again.
She glanced over; it was still in the process of drawing the dungeon. Perhaps because all the dangerous dungeons had been excluded, the time taken for this dungeon draw was exceptionally long.
The small group chat of a few people was also in an uproar.
【Xinxue Chu Ji】: If I find out who opened the dungeon, I will definitely draw a circle and curse them!
【Wanyi】: Too mild. @Ai Mi Li, little Ai, sometimes we really need you to step up.
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Hey, to be honest, this person's style of opening the dungeon gives me a strange sense of familiarity.
【Ai Mi Li】: It depends on what the boss wants.
Cheng Shuili was very satisfied with this reply.
She nodded, and just as she was about to say something, she saw a message Xinxue had just sent.
【Xinxue Chu Ji】: Familiar? What does that mean? Could it be that the boss used the card? (Shocked.jpg) (Screaming.jpg)
Cheng Shuili: "..."
She was going to fire Xinxue!
Although she was only saying it, Cheng Shuili suddenly thought of Guang Hui and Chen Qingshan.
The documents from Zhu Xuan had not been handed over yet, but these two were in such a hurry; they had been asking Cheng Shuili all day yesterday what exactly counted as joining.
Cheng Shuili found them annoying and just called 001 to deal with them.
Now that she opened it to look, 001 was chatting quite well with them and had even specifically created a transaction contract for them.
Cheng Shuili clicked to take a look; the contract was full of harsh terms.
Chen Qingshan had actually already agreed, while Guang Hui was still hesitating.
She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she did not disturb these two fools who were getting along so well with 001.
By the time it was almost eight-thirty, the dungeon for this time had finally been drawn.
The system, which had been playing dead for over ten minutes, restarted its nonsense moment.
Cheng Shuili waited patiently and only pricked up her ears when she heard important content.
【Important Notice: There is no danger of death in this dungeon! No monsters! No risks whatsoever!】
【This ranking is only used to evaluate whether the dungeon is cleared! The average value of each difficulty level will be taken; above the average is considered a success, below the average is considered a failure!】
【The highest difficulty level available for this dungeon is Hell-level, and the lowest is Normal-level! Each difficulty is randomly assigned based on the Wealth Leaderboard and Mileage Leaderboard! A very small number of players will have their difficulty directly designated by the host! All survivors, please be prepared!】
Host?
Designating the participation difficulty for a very small number of players?
Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow. The function of this card was even greater than she had imagined.
No wonder this mysterious player, who did not want to reveal their name, was so impatient to use this card.
The regional channel was also discussing this matter.
"What does that mean? What does 'designated' mean? If I am participating in a Normal dungeon and I get targeted by the host, can I be sent to participate in a Hell-level dungeon?"
"That must be what it means. Wow, now everyone can play Werewolf. Everyone should reflect carefully on whether this host is someone you know or someone you have offended! Otherwise... tsk tsk, your life is in danger."
