"It seems that the one-minute time limit ends when the test taker dies."
Su Lin spoke calmly, noticing the countdown on the wall as well.
The platform had completely landed, the battle was over, the number 60 was fading away, and the platform showed no further downward trend.
The platform remains on the level where the test taker dies, and so does the social welfare program.
Survivors who did not successfully kill the test subject are not allowed to search the most valuable container.
Of course, even if someone harms the tester, or even attacks it to the point of near death, only to be picked up by the survivors downstairs... that cannot change the rules.
Luck is itself a kind of strength.
"Big brother, you're awesome!"
Wang Dalu snapped out of his shock and gave Su Lin a thumbs-up with great admiration.
This time, he wisely refrained from rushing onto the platform to grab supplies, even though those chunks of meat contained unknown containers that flashed red light.
Wang Dalu knew very well that it was nothing to steal some worthless things, but if he were to steal real treasures, it would surely bring disaster.
Su Lin glanced at him, ignoring Wang Dalu's effusive praise. Instead, he walked onto the platform and, after repeatedly confirming with his Tang sword that the test subject was truly dead, Su Lin picked out the red container from the piece of meat.
"Smack!"
This is a small safe, seemingly hidden inside the test subject's body.
In addition, the backpacks, weapons, and other items of the survivors who were wrapped in the flesh of the test subjects were also picked out by Su Lin with his Tang sword and arranged in front of him.
"30 backpacks?"
Su Lin raised his eyebrows slightly. This number was just right for the two teams of survivors on floors 1-5, with a full complement of 30 people.
This means that there were no survivors upstairs; all the escape players were killed by the challengers!
All of these people's backpacks were on the platform, with most of them hidden in chunks of flesh on the test subjects' bodies. Su Lin guessed that these were supplies left behind by the dead survivors and "eaten" by the test subjects.
"This might be a hidden rule."
Wang Dalu, standing beside Su Lin, stared intently at the backpack in front of him. He nervously swallowed and reminded him, "The test takers have no reason to steal human supplies. After all, backpacks can't be eaten."
"I guess this might be due to the game mechanics, where test takers will [voluntarily] collect the supplies of the dead survivors."
"This way, we can avoid the remaining survivors profiting from the dead when changing rooms, and we can also increase the ultimate reward for killing the test-takers."
"This instance forces us to fight the challengers from countless angles. Only by successfully defeating the challengers can we conquer everything."
Wang Dalu has a quick mind and quickly figured out the hidden mechanism.
But Su Lin ignored him and instead began to search the red safe in front of him.
[New supply point discovered, searching in progress...]
The search took approximately three minutes.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the "Focus Heart - S-Rank Trait".]
[Focus]: S-rank personal trait, passively activated; creatures possessing this trait have their perception ability doubled (final calculation), each attack increases final damage by 10%, and each attack received reduces final damage by 10%.
As the notification appeared, a golden light flashed across Su Lin's body.
This container search yielded a "tradition" reward, a special effect similar to a "talent," which cannot be lost or traded and directly affects Su Lin himself.
As the golden light appeared, Su Lin felt his ears and eyes clear and his whole being became much more transparent.
Even with his eyes slightly closed, he could feel Wang Dalu sitting on the bed opposite him fidgeting with his fingers, looking at him with a nervous and fearful gaze.
Su Lin could even sense that Wang Dalu's back was already soaked with cold sweat. Beneath this young man's seemingly fearless exterior lay a heart filled with terror.
"The gains this time are quite good. The special attributes and other rewards are far more useful than any red-tier resources."
Su Lin was very satisfied. The effect of this characteristic involved two "final" values and was effective as a percentage, which truly lived up to its S-level rating.
Although the attribute has no monetary value, in Su Lin's mind, this S-level attribute is worth at least a million resource coins.
After briefly experiencing the changes within himself, Su Lin turned his attention to the thirty backpacks.
Su Lin took out a new potion and injected it into himself. He pushed the [High-Speed Exploration Water] into his body, increasing his search speed. Then Su Lin reached out and touched the thirty backpacks, checking the supplies inside one by one.
More than half of the backpacks were empty, indicating that these people came prepared to search and loot, and did not intend to bring more supplies.
The rest of the backpack was filled with consumables such as medicine, magazines, bandages, canned food, and water, which was quite comprehensive.
"Out of 30 backpacks, only a very small number of players are fully equipped. It seems that most people don't want to lose money and have minimized their costs per game."
Su Lin was somewhat disappointed. The backpacks were not very big, with the largest having only 25 compartments, far less than the 100-compartment backpack he had brought with him.
After transferring everything he could fit into his backpack, Su Lin glanced at the resource value displayed on the backpack: points.
Only a little over 50,000!
It's so boring. He used up almost 40,000 to 50,000 potions in the previous battle.
So after fighting for so long, excluding the special benefits from earlier, Su Lin's current gains and losses are basically balanced.
