More Rewards

“This is somewhat interesting. This... huh? You, this ID looks a bit familiar?”

“Forget about it being familiar. Isn't this that anonymous player from last time? Does every person in this hellhole use this same ID when they use an Anonymous Card?”

“Sneaky, and anonymous to boot—they must be up to no good! Are they about to drop some bombshell?”

Cheng Shuili watched quietly. This person was likely one of Qian Xun's subordinates.

What were they going to say? Her gender?

Cheng Shuili felt completely indifferent toward that.

Because that fact wouldn't change anything, nor would it prove anything. Most importantly, the root reason they were so concerned with her, constantly obsessing over her, was simply because she was strong enough.

The title of top-ranked player, the only one with a server-wide announcement, and the ID Angry Crow Takes Flight—these were all synonyms for strength.

Cheng Shuili shifted into a more comfortable position and continued reading the anonymous player's message.

【No Man's Land】: Not only is she a girl, but she’s also incredibly dashing! Her strength is truly boundless! My boss admitted defeat outright; he went to check out the situation, and when he returned, he only said three words: “Don't provoke her.” Why does such an all-around capable person exist in this world? Heavens, you are not fair at all!

“What? What did you say? Angry Crow Takes Flight? A girl?!”

“He’s already called by that name? She’s actually a girl? A sweet, soft girl?”

“Hey, stop with the stereotypes up there, okay?”

“Who said girls can't watch Dragon Brother's cartoons? My little niece likes them too.”

“Who is saying Crow is a man anyway! Spreading rumors is against the law!”

“Is she really a girl? If that's the case... Sister! I'm 189 cm, lean muscle, above-average looks. My current living conditions are a bit rough, but I'm still very handsome! Sister, look at me, please keep me!”

“Damn it! This kid beat me to it! Lord Crow, I'm not bad either! I'm honest and have a big build!”

“Just from that greeting, I can tell it’s highly unlikely you’re an honest kid.”

“Sister Crow~ don't be so rigid about gender! Look at me, your little sister!”

Cheng Shuili: “......”

She never expected things to develop this way.

It wouldn't have been a big deal, but having it seen by acquaintances...

【Xinxue Chu Ji】: Wow, boo-hoo, Boss! I can do it too.

Can do a ￥%#@%￥# what?

Cheng Shuili directly closed the private chat channel.

Compared to when the game first started, the messages on the regional channel were much milder now.

Perhaps it was because those who spoke poorly and those with intellectual deficiencies simply couldn't survive anymore?

Cheng Shuili mused, suddenly realizing this could also be considered a form of natural selection.

Resources were scarce here, and trading was mandatory in the early stages. Once a trade occurred, both parties would form an impression of the interaction, and those who consistently left a poor impression during trades were naturally eliminated.

Of course, some people with exceptionally good luck had survived until now.

After her reflection, the system finally brought up the dungeon rewards.

【This dungeon was the first team dungeon for all players! Therefore, before distributing the rewards, it is very necessary to explain the reward distribution logic!】

【First, all players who completed the dungeon while alive will receive a base reward. The base reward differs for each dungeon! Normal-level dungeons have the lowest rewards, while Hell-level dungeons have the best!】

【Second, victory is determined based on the tasks of the different dungeons, meaning whether the dungeon clearance conditions were met! Those who succeed receive an additional victory reward, while those who fail are punished. Specific rewards and punishments are determined by the dungeon, and the system reserves the right of final interpretation!】

Cheng Shuili couldn't help but twitch at that point. With something as abstract as “right of final interpretation” appearing, would the system stuff something weird into the rewards?

The people on the regional channel had a similar thought process, all asking what the rewards actually were.

But the dog system had been playing coy for a long time; it wouldn't reveal the answer without fully whetting their appetites.

【Finally, the system will comprehensively calculate a player's participation and contribution to the dungeon based on their performance (including but not limited to killing monsters, solving puzzles, completing tasks, turning the tide at critical moments, etc., with identical actions in the same dungeon counting repeatedly!) to select one Best Player per partition! They will receive a separate special reward!】

【In addition, the team dungeon has two reward leaderboards based on contribution! One is an individual contribution list, and the other is a team contribution list. Only the top 100 are tracked, and players can receive different individual or team contribution rewards depending on their position! Both rewards can be stacked and vary according to the dungeon difficulty!】

Cheng Shuili nodded slightly. This meant that participating in one dungeon could net a total of four rewards: a base reward, a victory reward, a special reward, and finally, the contribution rewards, which could potentially be two separate items.

Looking at it this way... compared to normal dungeons, the richness of team dungeon rewards was more than just a little higher!

And besides...

The scope of this base reward was incredibly broad.

Even if a player just laid low from the moment they entered the dungeon, without doing a single bit of exploration or contributing anything at all, they would still receive this reward as long as they survived.

Speaking of that alone, Cheng Shuili considered the standard set by the system to be quite low.

However...

Cheng Shuili recalled her experience inside the dungeon. The most thrilling moment was during the second peak; if it weren't for Ginger Candy's good luck, they really would have been wiped out.

Honestly, this dungeon was more disgusting than the previous ones by quite a bit.

So, the reward rules were explained. Now it was time to announce the specific rewards for this dungeon, right?

Cheng Shuili was very expectant, but the system never played by the rules.

【And lastly...】

Of course, there was more.

【All dungeons include an Easter Egg reward! But whether you can obtain this reward depends on the player's strength and the degree of exploration within the dungeon!】

【You might not understand what this means, so let's use an example. The Easter Egg reward for this dungeon is one Choice Item Card! The condition to obtain this Easter Egg reward in this dungeon was to complete the optional task, which was to explore the ruins of the mysterious research institute in the center of the industrial zone!】

【Proactive players with commendable courage! Congratulations on successfully obtaining the hidden grand prize!】

Choice Item Card?

Cheng Shuili's gaze fixed on this card. She had never seen this card before; she wondered if the system had just pulled it out of its storage.

Judging solely by the name, it should be a decent item, but its specific function would only be known after the rewards were distributed.

So then...

Cheng Shuili frowned. Everything that needed to be said had been said; saying anything else would truly be nonsense. How much longer was this system going to drag this out?
