'You can stay in Station Master Cheng Shuang's spatial storage. Remember to prepare an oxygen supply device for him; wolf demons have a special constitution and can survive for 24 hours in an oxygen-free environment.'
Little Q avoided the question of the wolf demon's mission, and the group didn't press the matter further. After all, the substitute maintainer was already a special perk that Little Q had given them. It was just a wisp of Earth consciousness, and the Gate of Reincarnation was monitoring its every move. Many things couldn't be forced.
They struck while the iron was hot, asking Xiao Q, within the scope of his duties, to help them select a few tasks suitable for reviving their companions.
Little Q paused for a moment, then slowly spoke, 'Little Q can only offer one suggestion. As a perk for Station Master Cheng Shuang's extraordinary mental strength, the specific choice needs to be decided by everyone; Little Q cannot participate.'
The group immediately understood that if the dedicated guides could choose the death zones for their side's protectors, they would inevitably choose the less dangerous ones for their own safety. In that case, the more dangerous the zone, the less people would go there, creating a vicious cycle where protectors would not be able to truly improve and grow.
The efforts made by Earth's consciousness and the Gate of Reincarnation were completely wasted.
The mechanical voice paused, and the image on the round table instantly transformed into five screens.
The large ones have two squares, and the small ones have three squares.
Cheng Shuang tilted her head to observe Xiao Q. She remembered that the screen grids on the dome were all the same size... She hoped she wasn't just imagining things.
The rest requires further research and exploration on your own.
They discovered that there was no need to worry too much, because the images displayed on the five screens were very simple. One of the three small squares was a completely gray screen with the word 'blood' written on it and a large question mark.
“I think we can rule it out by its attributes.” She clicked on another small box, where the video showed colorful halos, then fire and lightning. “Simple and straightforward, doesn’t it look like the five elements?”
Gong Zhu immediately responded, "You know what, it really is. So this world is the domain of magic-wielding wanderers?" She possessed Feng Jiakang's five elemental skills, so she was the most qualified to speak on this matter.
"Among the nine of us, the young man, the two Uncle Dus, Uncle Hai, and Sister Yue are all mental magic users. It's hard to say whether the wanderers' magic system includes mental magic users."
“I understand your selection method.” Du Jun nodded. “Although we are mental-type skills, our mental strength is not outstanding. It is best to avoid their sharp edge and find some places of death for wanderers that can be countered by mental-type skills.”
"Yes." The little girl simply dragged and dropped the image that resembled the five elements back.
Sihai opened another small compartment, and then the singing came, which, upon closer listening, sounded like the roar of the sea.
“This is probably also a mental ability.” Sun Han frowned. “There’s a power in its voice that makes me eager to learn more about it.” If the simulated state is this powerful, I’ll be captured without a fight if I go in.
Little Q suggests that you can flip it over to see the access restrictions.
Cheng Shuang immediately took action. The back of the device was marked with a note: "Limited to one person per entry." Below it was a friendly reminder: "Mental strength must be at least 1000 points."
The group gasped. Even the young girl hadn't reached 1000 points, let alone them. Sun Han was the lowest, currently at just 200 points, while the second highest in the world was just 400 points.
"Is it really possible for maintainers to reach 1000?" Cheng Shuang asked the crucial question.
"Yes. So far, only one maintainer entered and escaped. His mental strength was originally 1000 points, but all his attributes decreased by 10%, and his mental strength dropped by 20%. That memory remains blurry and cannot be retrieved or repaired. The only clue we can provide is the song like ocean waves. His personal guide deduced the video from his injuries. Therefore, the authenticity of the video cannot be determined."
Little Q quickly replied, "Once it's confirmed that there's no hope of rescue from this place of death, the Gate of Reincarnation will close it completely."
“PASS.” Cheng Shuang eliminated the small box without hesitation. “I want to save Sister Liu Juan’s life, but I don’t want to put myself and everyone else down with me.”
The little girl is adorably straightforward. No one would think that her not taking the risk is a betrayal or injustice to Liu Juan. Only by surviving can she provide the greatest protection for her companions.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Q couldn't wait to delete the video of the singing from the screen.
Flip to the blood (?) bar on the screen, the number of players is limited to four, and then there are no more prompts.
Cheng Shuang wasn't bothered. She clicked on one of the large screen panes. The video was completely black, with occasional meteor-like objects gliding by, resembling the universe. The game was limited to four people, and a note stated that the spatial puppets might malfunction.
Why did the spatial grid fail? Could it still be related to mental energy?
“It’s a bit like cosmic turbulence.” Du Lushu lowered her eyes and looked closely. “We previously obtained a three-person ticket called ‘The Never-Ending Train’ and experienced a similar spatial grid disorder.”
Du Lanshan: "I think this can be put on hold." The spatial grid is very important, but that doesn't mean they lose all chances of survival without it.
Cheng Shuang flipped to the last one, "Huh!"
The blood-red high-rise building, exactly nine stories high, with blood flowing continuously from the top to the bottom.
Number of participants: 3, with at least one person having a combined physical strength and power value not exceeding 300. Friendly reminder: Death counts.
The little girl's lips twitched, and she guessed, "So you need a protector with good fighting skills?"
"Quite natural." Du Lanshan scratched his head. "I'll do this."
"Count me in," Liao Yuewei said.
