Chapter 2073 The Challenge
Lin Deluo understood.
Under normal circumstances, with all five of them present, the success rate of the team challenging an S-level was about 60%. However, this time there was an unexpected situation and one of their team members couldn't make it.
Originally, with one less person, the success rate of forcefully challenging an S-level was almost zero.
Adding someone unfamiliar with their strength, and lacking coordination between each other, it would be difficult to ensure a success rate.
It might be better to play it safe and choose an A-level mission.
Even if they mistakenly chose a subpar teammate, relying solely on their abilities still allowed them to secure at least a 60% success rate in clearing the mission.
"Alright, let's work together!"
Fang Heng only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
With the strength of the team, he would first enter the so-called trial, and then see if there was any way to leave after entering the trial!
Even if he couldn't leave halfway through the trial, he should be able to leave the temple area after completing one trial.
At the very least, he would have more capacity to move around.
"Hahaha, Brother, you are straightforward. Let's go, I'll introduce you to our teammates."
Lin Deluo enthusiastically brought Fang Heng to join the team.
Including Fang Heng, Lin Deluo's team had a total of five people.
One specialized in healing and investigation with a magical background, and another one, an elite Holy Paladin, specializing in defense. The other two were versatile, mainly focusing on dealing damage, but can also fill in for emergency situations.
In fact, the higher the level of the advanced game world, the closer the players in the team were to an all-rounder.
Most of the time, the division of labor in the team was not so clear.
There were indeed specializations, but every player could switch positions at any time.
The healing specialist could also participate in combat and deal damage, although he might not excel as much in that aspect.
Therefore, when he first saw Fang Heng, Lin Deluo didn't ask which position Fang Heng was good at.
[Hint: The player Lin Deluo invites you to join the team.]
[Hint: The player has joined a normal team. Current authority: Team member.]
"Let's go, we'll first go to the instructor to receive the mission."
"I won't go."
Fang Heng stopped in his tracks and waved his hand.
Seeing the gazes from everyone, Fang Heng explained, "I have a special item bound to me, which deducted five points of charm. It's better not to affect the mission acceptance."
Everyone immediately understood.
Charm was a hidden setting in the game.
It would affect the NPC's initial favorability towards the player and the subsequent increase in favorability.
From the players' years of experience, every player's initial charm value fluctuated between -3 and 3. About 90% of players had zero charm at the start. Having 5 points deducted was a huge loss.
With this as the price, the other attributes of the equipment should not be too bad.
"Alright, we'll go and receive the mission. Brother Fang Heng, wait here for a moment. We'll be back soon."
"Alright."
Fang Heng watched as Lin Deluo led his team toward a Holy Paladin instructor in the center of the hall.
Lin Deluo and the instructor talked for a while.
Soon, a line of game notifications appeared on Fang Heng's retina.
[Hint: The player team has received a random Ecclesiastical Templars' trial mission-Level: A.]
[Hint: This mission is highly dangerous. Please be careful.]
"Done."
Lin Deluo and the others walked toward Fang Heng and nodded, saying, "We've received the mission. I spoke to the instructor just now. It's not a big problem. Let's go."? ? ??? ???
Fang Heng followed behind Lin Deluo and entered the teleportation passage domain on the right side of the hall with the rest of the team.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh....
The Holy Light enveloped Fang Heng and the others.
Suddenly, everyone disappeared from the teleportation passage.
...
After some time, Fang Heng opened his eyes again.
In the hazy morning light, the entrance of a snow-covered mountain came into view. The road ahead was almost entirely covered with thick snow, with only a faintly visible path leading uphill. Snowflakes gently fell from the mountaintop onto the shoulders.
A game hint appeared.
[Hint: The player has entered an unknown game world. The player needs to obtain more information to find the world coordinates.]
[Hint: The current trial imprint of the Ecclesiastical Templars is in effect. Under the imprint, all trial actions of the player will be recorded. Violating the tenets of the Ecclesiastical Templars will result in an additional deduction of experience points and accumulated points. In case of special circumstances, the player will be forcibly teleported back to the Eternal Holy City.]
[Hint: The player team has triggered the trial mission-Kill the three-eyed serpent.]
Mission title: Kill the three-eyed serpent. Mission description: The three-eyed serpent, slumbering in the snowy mountains, has been unexpectedly awakened and now occupies the entire mountain range. It has even invaded the towns below the mountain multiple times, destroying the Holy Court churches in the towns. The devout followers of the Holy Court earnestly pray for the descent of the oracle to kill the three-eyed serpent.
Mission requirement: Kill the three-eyed serpent.
Time limit: 3 hours (If the time limit is up, the player will fail the mission and be automatically sent back to Eternal Holy City).
A boss-killing mission?
Fang Heng looked at the mission notification and analyzed it in his heart.
It was impossible to judge the strength of the boss just by the mission description, and it was also difficult to figure out what kind of game world this was.
Moreover, the time limit for the mission was only a mere three hours.
After 3 hours, it would be a mandatory failure and the players would be transported back to the Eternal Holy City. Also, the trial imprint of the Ecclesiastical Templars continued to take effect.
His every move was being monitored.
It was best not to use undead skills and vampire-related skills.
This was a little troublesome.
Without the vampire form, the distance one could move in three hours was very limited in the game world.
Fang Heng knew that it would be very difficult for him to find a portal to leave this world before the countdown ended.
[Hint: The player has crossed worlds. The tracking group sent by the holy realm will try to lock onto your location again after 9+15 hours (additional increase due to holy weapon skills).]
Eh?
Fang Heng was thinking about how to leave when he saw the video game notification that suddenly appeared. He could not help but be stunned.
There was such a good thing?!
Oh, right.
Executing the trial mission through the Holy Court's teleportation passage was also a default entry into a new world. Hence, the pursuers from the holy realm had to lock onto his location again.
That was good news.
"It's a mission to kill the boss. Everyone, be careful."
Fang Heng raised his head and gazed at Lin Deluo, who had reminded him.
When the player group saw the task notification, their expressions turned grim. Among all the missions, the boss battle was one of the more difficult ones. The risk was high, and the consumption was also high. Moreover, there was only a three-hour time limit for this mission.
This meant that players rarely found other ways to complete missions in battle. Most of the time, they would rely on their power to barge through!
Fang Heng raised his head and looked. A red tunnel indicator appeared on his retina, pointing to the three-eyed serpent at the top of the mountain.
"Let's go."
Lin Deluo stated as he led everyone up the mountain.
