That night, the four of them talked until very late—largely because the apartment was locked and the people inside couldn't leave before it opened during the day. Since they were just idling around anyway, they might as well exchange information and analyze together how to pass the level.
This was also the first time Yin Zhu had communicated with several Chosen Ones.
They all agree that the world can no longer allow the unspeakable and the Chosen Ones to be mentioned so freely, as it did in Sin City back then.
Meanwhile, the key to clearing this dungeon lies in the inner city area, which needs to be entered at least once.
It's been two days, and not a single Chosen One from Blue Star has entered the inner city. There must be something wrong with that.
It's worth mentioning that although each country still has five chances on the surface, if the group action causes the situation to worsen, even if someone is replaced later, they will only inherit the progress of the previous chosen one, rather than starting all over again.
Therefore, without exceptional talent in a specific field, it's difficult to turn the tide once things go wrong.
In gaming terms, there's no chance of a rollback in this raid; if the situation worsens, it's basically a dead end.
The number of people has increased, but the trial-and-error rate has actually decreased.
It was precisely because Yin Zhu realized that the Cyber Myth dungeon was different from the previous ones that she did not act rashly.
In the past, Yin Zhu could do whatever she wanted without consequence; at worst, she'd ruin her own chances, and the next chosen one would start the challenge from scratch. Her reckless actions wouldn't have any impact. But this time, the Unspeakable warned from the beginning: "After the chosen one fails, the next one will inherit the current progress. Please be careful to avoid dead ends."
In other words, if a certain group reaches a dead end, it will directly lead to the demise of all five countries.
By the time Blue Star reached the sixth instance, only 125 countries remained. Divided into groups of five, they formed 25 groups, creating 25 identical instance worlds.
As the chosen ones make different decisions, the differences between these twenty-five worlds will become increasingly pronounced.
Besides this, Yin Zhu has a rather far-fetched but plausible guess—
The reason for grouping five people is simply because 125 is not divisible by any single digit other than 1 and 5. It is said that the intention was to create a group dungeon to save on the number of parallel worlds, but since 125 is only divisible by 5 and 25, it is unlikely that the intention was to create a super large dungeon for 25 people.
As for the number of surviving countries, whether it was intentional or unintentional, Yin Zhu couldn't guess, since the Unspeakable did indeed have a dark history of manipulating the progress of the Chosen Ones.
In short, this instance will likely lead to more casualties in groups on Earth, often requiring groups of five nations to team up and head to Hell.
Moreover, group dungeons have another drawback: they effectively reduce the chances of different countries copying each other's strategies. Not to mention that the Chosen Ones have different talents, even if two dungeons happen to have Chosen Ones with similar abilities, they may still encounter completely different situations.
Take Hirano San as an example. She has always adopted a policy of appeasement, using the aura of a saint to influence the indigenous people, and in the early stages, she can directly obtain information from the hearts of the indigenous people.
However, if the Chosen Ones become hostile to the high-ranking citizens later on, the Mother God's light might not be so useful, unless it can truly make the other party realize the truth on the spot and kneel down to surrender. In that case, a Chosen One who is that strong probably wouldn't need teammates.
Although Hirano San doesn't really need teammates.
Thinking of this, Yin Zhu gave Hirano Shan a resentful look, leaving the latter, who hadn't used her pink talent on Yin Zhu at all, completely confused, wondering what she was imagining again.
"Let's continue to split up. I'll go as the head of the household and see if we can get more information about the inner city from the inspectors; Jennifer will take the grassroots approach to cast a wide net and assess the public's condition and knowledge; Solomon will take the corporate approach to try and upgrade to legally enter the inner city as soon as possible; Shanshan... Shanshan, just protect yourself. Your talent is quite special, and you don't need to do anything. You can be our trump card."
Yin Zhu briefly outlined what they would do next.
Jennifer crossed her arms, her strong upper arms bearing the imprint of a ghost mask, though now, with the increase in muscle mass, they resembled a lion's head.
She had no objection to Yin Zhu's plan, and even somewhat agreed with it: "Since this is a group dungeon, the difficulty must not be lower than that of Sin City, right? I think it is appropriate for us to have multiple safeguards. Dungeons become more dangerous the longer they drag on. It is better to explore different directions in the early stages than to run out of time and have no chance to explore any directions in the later stages."
Looking at Jennifer's muscles, Solomon swallowed hard and took a small step back. "Actually, I've already explored some knowledge about this world. For example, the cheap food in Vena City is essentially insect protein, so I think you can eat less of it."
Solomon was referring to what he had seen with his own eyes.
As a food company, because the upper management is monopolized by the gods, the company has no concept of food safety; as long as people don't die on the spot after eating it, that's enough.
However, companies cannot completely prioritize profit over human life. Although many jobs can be replaced by robots, some positions still require human workers.
Therefore, companies also need indigenous people to be able to marry and have children, so as to continuously provide consumers and producers for the companies.
Solomon's job is simple; most of the time he needs to go to the company's workshop to see if the workers are working hard and if there are any unexpected problems in the process.
So, I saw workers wearing protective suits pouring a bucket of insects into the machine's inlet. Because the movements were rather rough, some insects spilled out. Another employee would then vacuum them up, pour them into water, clean them again, and then scoop them out and repeat the process.
