"Settlement complete, initiating the return process."
Awakening from the darkness, Lin Feng stared at the bright white light above him, his mind filled with the image of Su Quan effortlessly destroying all the followers who had cultivated the Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon not long ago.
Having witnessed such situations, even if one feels confident, there are still occasional worries about the potential trouble of releasing such individuals into the mission world.
Even if the world of this mission were to mutate into the kind of participants we see today, they would still have some sense of belonging to reality, but Su Quan would never.
Sitting up in bed, a gentle breeze blew through his personal space as Lin Feng slowly took out the items from his ring one by one.
Damaged Evil Wind Blood-Swallowing Blade (80), Evil Obstacle Blood-Pus Blade (150), A Pair of Glass White Eyes (300), Evil Demon Devouring Technique (Part 1) (50), Seven Deaths and Seven Lives, Good and Evil Without Fixed Law (Part 3) (50), Evil Yuan Technique (50).
Just then, a new notification flashed before my slightly dazed eyes.
"Participants have activated the basic strength rules, which can improve their personal rating."
"Individual ratings can be improved, but rating tasks must be completed independently."
"Currently activated rated mission world: Randomly corrupted world."
"What are the basic power rules?" Lin Feng put down what he was doing and asked Nightmare Space.
"Permission granted. Would you like to spend 5 Nightmare Points to inquire?"
"yes."
"Basic Power Rules: The foundational structure of extraordinary power."
Even with this... 5 points would have been better spent on Louis than on this.
Seemingly sensing Lin Feng's resentment, the Nightmare Space automatically opened Lin Feng's attributes and accessed the only Sacred Rune fragment of the corrupted life form he currently possessed.
"The sacred rune fragment of corrupted life: the basic structure of corrupted life power. By mastering this structure, one can convert energy into corrupted power in any world."
Lin Feng's eyes gradually lit up. He seemed to have discovered the secret to improving his rating. His skill could convert his spirit into demonic power, which represented this basic ability. Sacrificing physical strength and stimulating himself were similar.
The real secret isn't how strong you are, but rather exploring the essence.
No wonder Su Quan told him to switch to the Evil Yuan Technique when they were on the ship. So that's what she meant. Practicing the Evil Yuan Technique would allow him to control this power and directly reach the standard of proficient application.
Lin Feng's brows relaxed, and more thoughts began to surface in his mind.
This fundamental ability is actually hidden within each participant's body. When they exchange for power, they only care about using it and neglect certain core foundations.
Just like the restoration of demonic power, this ability had already been passively used.
"Entering any corrupted world, this mission becomes even more crucial..."
"If I were to enter a world of demonic power... would it be the world of dungeons? Or perhaps a chaotic world cursed by demonic power...?"
"Does this mean I can directly find relevant skills, or even receive instruction from mentors...?"
A world of paramount importance; the mission world should never be chosen lightly...
"This way I can free up more Nightmare Points to improve myself, instead of constantly buying power-based skills..."
The attack methods such as Ground Smash, Death Slash, and Vengeful Strike are not complicated in principle and are not difficult to predict. In fact, after learning some other methods, these skills can be made to exert greater power.
"The abilities of necromancers... compared to demonic power, going to the necromancer's territory... is equally crucial." Lin Feng sighed. If there was a clear connection between the two, then he could operate freely, but if they were separate, then he could only regret it.
After thinking for a while, Lin Feng didn't dwell on the problem and directly summoned Louis.
"Welcome back, Mr. Number." Louis walked into Lin Feng's personal space with a slight smile, his wooden feet creaking as he reached the bedside. His gaze briefly swept over the few items on the bed, then his eyes lingered on Lin Feng's slightly thinner body.
"Louis, I have a question. Are all the worlds in the Nightmare Space destroyed by other participants?" Lin Feng asked, raising his first question.
Having experienced so many worlds, none of them allowed him to comfortably profit from the original storyline.
Louis craned his neck, asking in confusion, "Sir, is the world of your mandatory mission also a world that has been damaged by other participants?"
"Um."
Upon hearing this, Louis replied, "According to the rules of Nightmare Space, fifty percent of the free mission worlds are worlds that have been destroyed by others, while the forced mission worlds will be some brand new worlds that you will acquire based on the timeline of your entry into Nightmare Space."
"This is also why many factions are very willing to accept newcomers. They can not only gain access to new mission worlds, but also find more novel worldviews within the current real world."
"This morning, the workshop area received a quest world invitation from a new player, which originated in the world of a newly launched game, Sword and Expedition."
"Following the survey of the workshop area, several excellent undead creatures with heroic qualities have been put up for sale in the paranormal zone."
"Sylvanas, the Pale Executioner: A powerful new hero. She can be continuously strengthened by absorbing Soulfire, and after her body is shattered, she can quickly regenerate by transferring Soulfire. Her hero skill is Blink. (300 Nightmare Points)"
"Elegy of Pain - Cersia: A powerful hero, newly released, continuously strengthened by consuming Soulfire... Hero Skill: Summon Undead Minions (500 Nightmare Points)"
"Sir, the master-servant contracts in this world have a certain coercive effect. They will continuously increase the favorability of the servants through battles until they become your loyal followers, making them more cost-effective than ordinary contracts." After explaining, Louis continued, "Apart from these, only participants recruited by the guide will experience the mission worlds that the guide has experienced."
Seemingly noticing Lin Feng's expression, Louis shifted his gaze and followed Lin Feng's line of sight to his arm.
“Sir, this is not a bad thing. If you know the power structure of this guide, you can deduce which worlds this guide is interested in.” Louis said softly, “That way, when you enter certain mission worlds, you can directly use the potential resources left behind by the participants.”
Seeing Lin Feng shake his head, Louis continued, "Name or number?"
"have no idea."
Louis then began to wonder: "Sir, any guide conducts a very rigorous selection process when choosing new participants, and those who meet the criteria directly become members of that guide's faction..."
“Unless…” Louis trailed off, noticing Lin Feng’s curious gaze, and cautiously said, “He’s likely experiencing some kind of special crisis, in order to prevent the world closely connected to him from disappearing…”
“Sir, I can erase the memory of this conversation.” Louis suddenly changed the subject.
Lin Feng glanced at the other person in surprise, then shook his head: "No need... Louis, where do people who leave the mission world go? The real world, or a special area arranged by the Nightmare Space?"
