Chapter 77 -77 Trial Dungeon_1
“Unnamed123456”: I’m back on Earth, just returned, thanks for the concern, I just managed to get some free time to address everyone’s worries. I luckily survived again, and my reward is about 10,000 points plus a “The False Powerhouse (Purple)” gear. Barely satisfied but pushing on, I hope you guys can be more diligent as well.
When Colin sent that message, the chatroom suddenly went silent—then promptly exploded into activity again.
“Heavenly Dumpling”: Stop posting, stop posting! Seeing you get that gear hurts more than if you’d killed me. Over 10,000 points and purple gear–I couldn’t earn that much even if I sold my stuff…
“Confused Cutie ①Sob Sob⑦”: Damn, what just blinded my dog eyes? Aside from that purple gear, I’d have to work a full year, skimping on food and drink, to get that much…
“Fish Pond Master”: @Unnamed123456, Brother Shunzi, I get you’re not selling the gold or orange ones, but leave me a purple, please. A hundred million US dollars, begging you…
“The Unyielding”: Waaaah, I knew it, I knew it! Brother Shunzi would never die! Please, @Unnamed123456, save me!
“Your Poppy Head is Huge”: F*ck, this is the first time I’ve seen someone return from the second phase of a descent mission. @Unnamed123456, did you cheat or what?
“Imperial Dumpling”: @Your Poppy Head is Huge, Brother Shunzi is a rookie and he took on such a tough mission. So what if he used a cheat?
“Pissing Against the Wind”: What? Using a cheat means cheating now?
“White Cute Cuddle”: F*ck! Who said Brother Shunzi was done with the lottery?! All four of my boxes were blanks! It’d be fine if they were just useless, but the side effects are huge! Come out, I swear I won’t let you off!
“Two-Faced”: He believed it, he really believed it, heh heh heh, I just said something off the top of my head, and look, he actually believed it, Brother Shunzi!
“A Night of Spring Breezes in the Small Building”: Holy sh*t, is Brother Shunzi’s descent mission that easy? I’m begging you, take me with you, [E+ Employee Access Badge]. I swear I’ll obey, just point and I’ll hit…
“Sea God Bright Moon”: Speaking of which, could it be that Brother Shunzi descended into an otherworld that was comparatively easy and safe? Brother Shunzi, can you take me with you?
“Lifecoach Kawaii-many”: Be careful, otherworld might not administer anesthesia when cutting you open. You want Brother Shunzi for yourself, but maybe he’s after your kidneys. Then again, there’s another possibility. Perhaps Brother Shunzi is actually a C Level or higher big shot using a low-level account?
…
“Heh heh…”
Seeing these messages, a smile crept across Colin’s lips, and upon reading the last few sent by some employees, his expression became somewhat peculiar—delightful?
In his mind, he relived Duncan’s experience: It was indeed both absurd and delightful. With good luck, this bunch might end up in the same pot as their family and friends, becoming part of the same dish, on the same table, to be eaten by the same person and end up in the same stomach.
After watching a bit longer, Colin’s mood lifted considerably; the sense of alienation from returning from another world faded significantly.
As for those mentioning selling gear, he didn’t harbor the slightest interest.
Putting aside whether cash was of any use to him, the most important thing was, reading between the lines, he knew that if his real-life location were ever accidentally exposed, there would certainly be a large group of people ready to kill for his treasures.
Therefore, it was necessary to be careful about potential risks.
Aside from the occasional appearance to suppress the untrue rumors about him in the Interaction Hall, it was best not to engage in any other activities.
“It’s a pity though,” thought Colin, “The False Powerhouse has a range limitation. Without it, I could’ve used Kě’ài duō’s words to my advantage in the ‘Interaction Hall’ and craft a big shot alter-ego for myself, maximizing its effects every time I used it.”
Colin pursed his lips, feeling a twinge of regret. After a while, he looked up at the electronic clock to check the time, and seeing it was about right, he prepared to use the third injection to start his promotion quest.
The E level promotion had three requirements at that moment.
The first was to reach F+ Authority Level, which he seemed to have met thanks to his recent missions.
The second was undergoing three injections of F Level Gene Compensation Medicine, and he had just the last shot left in his hand.
Now, after the last injection, he just needed to pass the third requirement, “Applying for an E Level Authority Trial,” to get promoted.
But before Colin could take the medicine out of the Storage Room, a line of text suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
[The events of your mission have been detected as meeting the “Instance” requirements.]
[Are you willing to submit the information for the second stage of the “World Code-13” mission to create an “Employee Trial Instance”?]
[Description]: Upon completion of the “instance,” all employees can participate in the trial by paying a certain number of points, and Bonfire Company will share the profits with the provider at a 7:3 ratio.
[Note]: The “instance” will have the provider’s information removed to ensure personal privacy and avoid unnecessary issues.
…
“Hmm? Does this mean turning the experience I just went through into a trial task for other employees?”
Colin was momentarily startled by the information on his retinal display, then remembered seeing something about it in a post before.
Sometimes after people complete their tasks, their experiences might be “purchased” by Bonfire Company and then sold on Bonfire Company’s task platform.
These “trial instances” usually have a higher difficulty than those of the same level, but their major advantage is that you can’t die…
With one use generally costing only 20-30 points, they are quite popular among some employees, as it greatly enhances their training.
Of course, for most employees who earn just a couple hundred points per task, 20-30 points is not exactly cheap.
“But what’s with this distribution ratio? How come I only get three tenths?”
Colin looked closely, oh, no worries, the seventy percent belongs to the company, and he gets only thirty percent.
But who can argue with the power of the platform? Thirty percent it is then, at least it’s an extra income.
Aren’t many people curious about what “Descent Tasks” are like?
To participate for dozens of points…
Hype it up, and maybe I could make a few thousand points.
Colin had no reason to refuse since some things are only worth money when sold.
After agreeing, Colin suddenly saw a familiar eye pattern appear on the parchment.
Th𝓮 most uptodate nov𝑒ls are publish𝒆d on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.
Despite being just a pattern, it felt incredibly real, staring straight at him…
Once more, Colin felt as if being undervalued from within.
A few seconds later, the eye disappeared.
[Submission complete, “‘World Code-13’ Trial Instance” will soon be listed in the “Trial Instance” category.]
“Hope it sells well when the time comes.”
Colin allowed himself a small sense of anticipation, then injected himself with the third dose of F Level Gene Compensation Medicine, feeling a warmth spreading throughout his body.
Every cell seemed to be undergoing a further cleanse…
A little while later, as the warmth subsided inside him, Colin felt a sudden lightness in his body.
Clenching his fists, he could feel that Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) would not affect him in the short term.
The bad news was…
The raging temperament of Beast Transformation Syndrome was still lurking deep inside, and although it had quieted down a lot due to “his” death, it had not disappeared but rather lay dormant.
But for the short term, he didn’t need to worry about an outbreak, so Colin opened his “Personal Resume” and began applying for his “E level Promotion Quest.”
