Zong Jiu saw that everyone was genuinely sympathetic towards Tokumon, but at the same time, they were also full of confidence in Tokumon. Hence, he remained silent for a while and did not ask any more questions.
After listening to the exorcist, he also sympathized with the other party.
Other things aside, being exposed in public while wearing a sailor's uniform was not something an ordinary person could endure. However, the exorcist added that this incident was not the unluckiest one among the many encounters of the unlucky Tokumon. He had also broken all kinds of strange records in various dungeons.
After hearing this, Zong Jiu felt that it was already a miracle that Tokumon was still alive. An incident of this level would definitely not be able to defeat him.
However, if Tokumon appeared at the scene and saw that not only did no one feel sorry for him, but they even gathered together to talk about his past deeds, he would probably faint from anger.
While they were chatting for a while, the main system turned on the panoramic camera and the live broadcast room.
[Panoramic camera turned on … Turned on successfully.]
[Introducing the process and rules of the next dungeon. During this period, a unified live broadcast room will be opened for all survivors.]
Soon, the audience members who wanted to survive swarmed in.
[I'm here! The first thing I did when I came in was to pull up the camera and look at the magician beauty. Ah! no.9! Awsl]
[Upstairs, you're not alone! The first thing I did was to look at No.9 too! Hahahahaha, I've been following the magician since the first dungeon. Now that he's finally leveled up to Level S, I'm so happy!]
[Am I the only one who's still thinking about the big shot who took No.9 away from the ball in public? Middle.jpg]
[Yes, you're the only one upstairs. Don't start a war, okay? Cue your No.1 dad every day. How annoying!]
[Okay, okay. We've been arguing all day at the ball. Are you done yet? The Level S boss can do whatever he wants. Do you think we newbies who can't even make it into the horror trainees competition have a say? Be quiet, I still want to see the rules.]
The trainees in the studio were very quiet. Only the viewers in the live broadcast room were spammed with comments.
After realizing this, everyone quieted down and quietly listened to the rules.
The gazes on Zong Jiu were no less than the gazes of the four No. 1 Puppets, each more excessive than the last.
He simply lay back and nestled himself into the soft cushion behind the throne. From the outside, only a silvery white furry head could be seen.
[Next, the main system will explain the special rules of the next instance dungeon to all trainees.]
[Firstly, the next dungeon difficulty has been confirmed as Ultra S Rank Dungeon]
There was dead silence in the studio, and then it instantly boiled like boiling water in a kettle.
A super S ranked dungeon!
It was just a few words, but the meaning behind them was enough to send chills down one's spine and make one's entire body tremble.
Other than the few senior S-level players, many trainees had never even heard of the name of a super S-level dungeon.
On the throne, Zhuge An crossed his arms. His gaze was calm, ignoring the gazes of the other S class members who were informed beforehand. He had an expression that said, "Just as I expected, I'm hiding my achievements and fame."
The people in the live streaming channel were also chattering.
[Super S Level Dungeon? I've never heard of it. Oh my god, is the name even scarier than an S-level dungeon?]
An S-level dungeon was already a nightmare in the minds of all trainees. The survival rate was so low that it made one's hair stand on end. Just look at the team dungeon in the previous round.
[There's a possibility. Didn't the big boss of the forum make a bold prediction that the Thriller Trainee Competition would be coming to an end soon? Starting from the group dungeon, half of the people will be eliminated, and then the group dungeon. Everyone was seriously discussing the post after that, and there were people who guessed that the main system would make a big move. If it's a super S dungeon … Maybe this will be the dungeon that will decide the last hundred people to survive (bitter smile)]
As expected, just as this comment was sent out, the main system officially stamped the conclusion.
[The next dungeon will be the last round of the level evaluation. At that time, the final hundred trainees will be chosen.]
Everyone was silent.
The Thriller Trainee Competition had gone through five level evaluations and four special events. The number of people had decreased sharply from the initial tens of thousands to the current 1,800. Based on the ratio, it was unlikely that one out of ten people would survive.
In the end, the main system made another big move. It wanted to filter out the remaining 1,800 trainees and choose the last surviving trainees.
The jovial atmosphere at the ball a few days ago was swept away and turned into a tense and heavy atmosphere.
The senior trainees knew that as long as they could become the last hundred people, not only would they survive, but they would also receive any S-level item and almost a year of rest in the infinite loop. During this time, the main system would not force the debuting trainees to do dungeons.
They did not ask for the Ten Thousand Wish Ticket reward for debuting in the center position. Surviving was enough.
[This super S dungeon is a full dungeon. Including the S-level, all trainees will enter the same dungeon world.]
[But everyone's main mission is different.]
The senior trainees immediately reacted.
If everyone's main mission was different, it meant that although everyone was in the same dungeon, they could not reach a cooperation. What's more, if the main system insidiously issued conflicting main missions, then it was very likely that the trainees would fall into the hostile situation of the mole and the normal people that had appeared in the previous rounds of dungeons.
"No, a normal super S dungeon would not have this kind of situation."
This time, it was Zhuge An who spoke. He shook his head and gestured for No. 2 and No. 4 to calm down.
As expected, the main system then added that there would be no conflicts between main missions. It was just that there would be differences in difficulty.
Everyone was speechless.
Differences in difficulty?
Everyone was a little curious. What exactly was the difference in difficulty?
Soon, the main system answered their doubts.
[Next, all trainees will be issued items. Please wait …]
The next second, Zong Jiu, who was sitting on the throne, had two small, cone-shaped ten-sided dice appear out of thin air in his hands.
They were made of two well-polished white crystals. The letters on top of them shone with a light pink color. Under the pure gold chandelier, they reflected a colorful luster and looked graceful and luxurious.
Zong Jiu raised his head and looked at the other people's dice. He noticed that The Dark Wizard's dice were black crystal and dark green. Messiah's dice were gold crystal and blue. As for the other levels of trainees, their dice were all red and white.
[These are two ten-sided dice. They are also necessary items in the next super S dungeon.]
The main system explained slowly.
[Other than the two ten-sided dice, trainees in the next dungeon are not allowed to bring any special items, except for the S-level trainees.]
There was another uproar in the hall. Many low-level trainees showed undisguised fear on their faces.
It was common knowledge that trainees had reached their current level because of special items. A typical example was Xu Sen, who had immediately ascended with an A-level item.
In the infinite loop, the importance of special items was self-evident.
Because they would forever be under ghosts and monsters, most people would not choose to strengthen their bodies. Instead, they would choose to strengthen their special items or powers. In this case, not being allowed to bring special items was tantamount to cutting off one of their arms.
However, the S-level trainees sitting on the throne also received a private message from the main system at the same time.
[In addition to passive items, S-level trainees are allowed to bring an item below B-level.]
The white-haired youth opened his Backpack and glanced inside.
The number of passive items in the infinite loop was pitifully low. They were much rarer than the rare S-level items.
Zong Jiu happened to have one. It was the A-level Substitute Doll that he had exchanged at the Las Vegas casino.
The Substitute Doll could block one fatal blow, but it was not actively used. It was indeed a type of passive item.
Zong Jiu was not in a hurry to choose the item he would bring. After the meeting, the anti-demon alliance would definitely have another meeting. It would not be too late to listen to the opinions of the inept military counselor.
Then, the main system was about to explain the rules in detail.
[In the next S-level dungeon, any action can be completed with the ten-sided dice in your hands.]
[As long as you are lucky, it is not difficult to clear the dungeon without being injured.]
Luck, luck again?
Everyone was a little confused. Previously, the main system had mentioned luck during the main mission. Now, it mentioned luck again, whetting everyone's appetite.
Halfway through the main system's explanation, it suddenly fell silent for a moment.
All the trainees looked up as if they had sensed something. They happened to see the figure walking out of the darkness to the highest point.
The devil, who had changed from the waiter's tuxedo to a black suit, walked out of the elevator with both hands in his pockets. He looked bored as he walked to the highest point of the entire studio.
He did not look like he was here to participate in the meeting. Instead, he looked like he was here to join in the fun.
The bullet screen was filled with cries of surprise.
[Welcome, counselor.]
The main system gave a dull welcome as usual.
"Since my identity has been revealed, I will immediately withdraw from the contestants' seats and supervise the competition as a counselor."
The black-haired man raised his eyebrows and looked around. Suddenly, he revealed an ambiguous smile.
He walked down from the high point and slowly walked towards the other S-level trainees.
Zong Jiu's eyelids twitched.
As expected, under everyone's gaze, the devil stood directly beside his seat. "Do you mind if I stand here, No.9?"
"Go ahead," Magician replied without looking up.
The studio was silent again.
Some were digesting the news that No.1's seat was empty, while others were discreetly sizing up the counselor and No.9.
In the end, the silence was broken by the main system.
[Since you are here, let the counselor explain the rules of the next dungeon. Please.]
The devil shrugged. "Two ten-sided dice, one representing ten digits and the other representing single digits."
He suddenly reached out and bent slightly. His white glove wrapped around Magician's shoulder ambiguously and finally landed on Magician's open palm.
In the next moment, the two dice spun in Zong Jiu's palm. One landed on 30 and the other on 4.
The large screen projected on the dome magnified their actions for everyone to see. The numbers on the dice were also clearly displayed.
"For example … if the dice are 30 and 4, the combined number is 34."
