[Congratulations, player! You have completed the hidden reward mission!]

[Rewards: 1. Divine Scepter - Ultimate (Item); 2. Pure currency reward based on the total earnings of the current match (Permissions).]

[Reward Item 2 will be automatically calculated after the player leaves the current match.]

Su Lin glanced at the new notification but didn't pay much attention to it.

This was something that had been planned all along. Given Xiao Linlin's appetite, she was sure she would do everything she could to increase Su Lin's single-game earnings limit, especially since she had finally encountered a massive escape game world with the extra reward of "difficult games".

Another half month later, the team returned to the human capital with the elf army. On the way, Xiao Linlin had already formulated a basic plan for the subsequent development.

The remaining tasks for the current game have been determined:

1. Continue farming campaign coins.

2. Try to complete the remaining 5 phase tasks to increase the value of the final reward.

3. Learn from and draw upon the current world's knightly combat techniques, magic, and other systems to provide Su Lin and Xiao Linlin with what they need for self-study.

4. If the time allotted for escaping is sufficient, search all resource locations on the entire map, starting with the high-level resource locations.

The four major plans were revised, and based on this, the team went directly to the human capital. Through Jia Zhengyi, carrying the prestige of the elven army and the great victory at the front, they requested permission to enter the capital's secret arts hall.

Inside the secret arts hall, the team spent half a month securing enough opportunities for Su Lin and Xiao Linlin to absorb the local power system.

Of course, the main learning task was on Xiao Linlin. Now that she had the Holy Scepter, she naturally couldn't waste the powerful self-learning ability provided by this ultimate weapon. So she decided to take the path of magic.

As one of the stronger of the seven races, the Human Empire possesses a wealth of magical knowledge in its capital. Although there are no secret magical inheritances, most types of magic are readily available, enough for Xiao Linlin to digest and learn.

Even with the terrifying comprehension boost from the Divine Scepter, Xiao Linlin's speed of "absorbing nutrients" in the vast ocean of magical knowledge that encompasses almost the entire world couldn't be fast.

Even though she had immersed herself in it diligently, studying day and night, half a month was only enough for her to learn enough to reach the standard of an intermediate mage.

As for Su Lin, he was at most just a study companion.

Using the local martial arts system to test his own, Su Lin tentatively learned a few advanced combat techniques, but then lost interest and decided to continue studying his own martial arts system.

During the two weeks of intensive self-study, Jia Zhengyi was also busy. He led the pure-blooded elves to search the area around and inside the capital, taking all the containers except for the red supplies! They amassed a huge collection!

Of course, Su Lin still has to get the red-level container supplies himself. The core area of ​​the human capital is also a high-level resource area, but it is still not as good as the dangerous front-line area. There are a total of 4 low-level containers.

Su Lin searched the entire site but did not obtain any new colored rewards. He only obtained four large red collectibles, with a total value of over 15 million.

After the supplies around the capital were almost completely depleted, Xiao Linlin reluctantly left the secret arts hall so as not to delay the team's progress. Before leaving, she took some advanced magic manuals with her, intending to continue her studies on the road.

Judging from her appearance, she seems to be learning from Su Lin. There's probably another child diligently studying on this path.

After the team left the capital, Su Lin immediately confirmed that they would continue with the 11th phase of the mission.

The mission was not as difficult as everyone expected; in fact, it was relatively simple, requiring the squad to defeat three armies of any faction with more than 10 members each.

Coincidentally, the squad also needed to farm campaign currency, and in order to accommodate the route requirements for searching for high-level supplies, the squad went directly to the front line where the orcs were stationed.

Upon arrival and after handing over command to the front-line commander, the elven army immediately launched an attack!

They located the city where the orcs were stationed and launched a direct sweeping attack, defeating all four orc armies that had just made a tentative advance around the city in a very swift and decisive manner!

This action frightened the orcs, who had just mustered their courage, back into the city, and they dared not show their faces again.

The team completed phase 11, turned around and headed back to search the high-level resource area of ​​the Orc front. Unfortunately, these 7 low-risk areas still did not yield anything remarkable, and the drop rate even showed a significant downward trend. Instead, they started to see collectibles such as small gold coins.

This forced Su Lin to realize a potential, almost obvious, mechanism: if there are too many colored rewards in a single match, searching for higher-level resources will almost never yield any more colored rewards.

This is basically no longer related to the drop rate talent. The mechanism will not allow survivors to become stronger indefinitely just by luck, which is not in line with the original intention of the mechanism.

Luck is a permissible factor for improvement, but it cannot be the main theme.

Having realized this, the team stopped pushing for drops and focused all their attention on self-study and phased tasks.

The subsequent four phases of missions are not particularly difficult, and most of them are related to battles and fighting, with the occasional mission requiring the advance of a front line that involves breaching a city.

This was no challenge for the small team that had control of the elven army. They advanced with unstoppable momentum, suppressing any signs of unrest from the orcish alliance along the way and looting the high-level resource areas in the process.

This round of crackdown has lasted for four months, leaving less than six months for escape.

The orcish alliance is showing signs of collapse; they no longer dare to confront each other on the front lines and have completely retreated into a defensive posture.
