It took Haidiao, the captain of the Poseidon team, a year to rise from F-level to A-level. So far, he has led his team members to clear the A-level difficulty "world" five times.
Except for the "SCP Containment Battle" experienced with Ji Thrush and the others, the other four A-level difficulty "worlds" of the Poseidon team were all types that Xiaoniao had never experienced.
Poseidon's first A-level difficulty is a disaster escape.
Trapped in a small coastal town hit by a severe hurricane, they have to find a safe haven in the storm, flood and tsunami, and they also have to fight against an injured and extremely vicious great white shark going retrograde from the bay.
Using sunfish's own description, in that "world", although they were like drowned rats the whole time, everyone was in a mess, but everyone came out with their tails intact, a mere great white shark, worthy of letting them stew into dashi.
The second "world" is very Cthulhu style.
The Poseidon team became the town police and firefighters of a small town, responsible for investigating the recent frequent disappearances in the town.
The crowd traced their roots to the underground drainage system, fought fiercely with two mutant octopus-like monsters hiding in the waterway, and finally killed them. During this process, several participants were somewhat injured, but no one was killed.
Hearing this, Mo Tiangen couldn't help clicking his tongue and sighing:
"There is too much water in your name, even the 'world' you draw can't handle water!"
"you do not say!"
Killer whales feel sorry for each other:
"I just said we should change the name! Otherwise, who can stand being in the water all day!"
Then, the Poseidon team talked about their experience of the third "world". However, although it is a typical rainforest landform, all the vegetation presents a strange greenish-reddish color, and most of the animals and plants inside cannot be named by the few members of the Sea God team.
Everyone must find a certain ancient site in the jungle and capture a large flying bird with a human-like sound for sacrifice. This time, the only healer in their team unfortunately died in the green forest hell.
"Ugh!"
Having said that, the jellyfish sighed a long time, picked up the remaining half glass of beer, and drank it up:
"If Sea Snake was still alive, we wouldn't be in such a mess this time!"
In the fourth round, several people were arranged in a small town with European and American style, and participated in a harvest festival celebration with two other groups of participants, a total of more than 20 people.
At that celebration, the dead townspeople awakened the soul of a murderer, so they learned that what they were facing was a "Friday the 13th" script, so they had to play hide-and-seek with the unkillable demon game while looking for a way to re-seal it.
"Don't look at us being abused so badly by Pegasus and Nightmare Illustrated in the 'SCP Containment Battle', in fact, in terms of individual combat effectiveness, our team is very strong."
The killer whale pursed its mouth and gave its team a respect:
"Anyway, facing Jason, you don't need to kill him, as long as you can run faster than others..."
Having said that, his voice froze, and he felt that it was inappropriate to use this to prove that they were "very strong in combat", so he had to make a sharp turn:
"Anyway, although the monster is difficult to deal with, none of us died, and we also found a way to seal the monster. Clearing the level can be said to be almost entirely up to us! And when we come back to calculate the points, the points are quite impressive!"
The killer whale looked at its captain, then at Ji Thrush and the others sitting opposite.
"At first, we all thought that our team is quite strong, and it shouldn't be a problem to challenge the S-level difficulty. Unexpectedly..."
He thought of the two companions he had just lost, and lowered his eyes regretfully:
"Looking at it now, it's still too naive..."
His voice stopped abruptly.
The deck suddenly fell silent.
The members of the Poseidon team have a very good relationship. Every time they think of their lost companions and their uncertain future, they will feel bitter in their hearts, and they don't know what else to say for a while.
And Ji Thrush and the others are busy thinking about the situation of the four "worlds" that Hai Diao and others told them.
Based on what a few members of the Poseidon team said just now, it will be difficult for Ji Thrush to accurately judge the difficulty of their previous experience, and whether there is any obvious difference from the "SCP containment battle". It's just that if you want to continue to ask the people of the Sea God team, what do you think is the difficulty of the "world" you just experienced, it seems too abrupt.
Ji Xiaoniao took a sip of the only juice on the table, and suppressed the doubts in his heart.
Chen Haibo raised his hand to summon the bar waiter, and asked the artificial intelligence to serve another dozen cold beers, picked up one of the glasses, and drank it all in one go, then looked at Ji Thrush, and asked:
"By the way, you have now broken through the A-level difficulty, have you considered joining the guild?"
Ji Thrush's eyes flickered, "Join the gang?"
"When you first entered the 'Peach Blossom Spring', there must have been many gangs who invited you?"
Sea Eagle's fingers slid over the dripping water stains on the table:
"For example, Compass and Hongjiabang like to recruit newcomers, right?"
"Someone did come looking for us."
Ji Thrush replied honestly, "But we refused."
"At your level, staying in gangs dominated by low-level members will only drag you down. It's really unnecessary."
Chen Haibo waved his hand:
"What I want to talk about is the big gang in 'Peach Blossom Spring' where the three senior members are the main members."
Ji Thrush blinked, "Which three gangs?"
Sea Eagle: "..."
He opened his mouth, showing a rare expression of stunned eyes.
After being stunned for a moment, the bearded man burst out laughing loudly.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I forgot that you are just newcomers who have experienced five 'worlds', it's normal not to know the situation in 'Peach Blossom Spring'!"
Chen Haibo laughed and said:
"Okay, let's treat it as a favor for saving our lives. As long as we know, we will tell you everything tonight!"
Next, the Poseidon team told Ji Thrush and the others that in the "Peach Blossom Spring", there are three gangs that specialize in recruiting participants with A-level difficulty and above.
The leaders of these three gangs are all veterans who have completed the S-level difficulty "World" many times.
They almost included most of the high-difficulty-level participants in the entire "Peach Blossom Land", and they controlled more than 70% of the collectibles circulation market.
Among the three major gangs, the "Qinxue Society" is the most famous.
Although the name of "Qinxue Society" sounds feminine, in fact, the leader of the gang is a cold and serious man.
Except for his confidants, no one knew the man's real name, and everyone only called him "Bingshang".
According to Chen Haitao's description, "Binglao" is a young man in his thirties. The biggest feature of his appearance is his young gray hair. Mingming's age is far from being called "old", but his hair is full of hair.
"Ice hail is powerful."
After Hai Ying introduced his appearance, he made a summary:
"It is said that he is second only to the King of Lanling. After the disappearance of King Lanling, Binglang has firmly secured the throne of the number one fighting force in the 'Peach Blossom Land'-although the other two gangs are not convinced, but no one dares to challenge he."
"The ability of ice hail is ice and snow?"
Fan Luming sipped his wine, listening to the story with great interest, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be called this name, would you?"
"That's right."
The jellyfish had a good impression of the dad who saved his teammate's life. When the younger brother of the Fan family asked, he explained in detail:
"His ability is to release and control ice, but this ability can only be used in places with sufficient water. Therefore, the ice hail has a space-like collection, which looks like a leather kettle, filled with water, and never leaves it all year round. body."
"I see!"
Fan Luming nodded and looked at Captain Xiaoniao, his eyes seemed to say, this sounds similar to your ability that must be charged before use.
"By the way."
Sunfish interrupted and said:
"The gang we joined is actually a subordinate gang of the 'Qinxue Society'. As long as they are outstanding, they will be favored by the headhunters of the 'Qinxue'."
His fingers swiped in front of several companions:
"Of course, we have also received invitations, but after joining 'Qinxue', we have to obey the assignment and be stuffed into different teams. We are not very willing to split up, so we have never agreed."
Said, sunfish looked at Ji thrush and the others.
"However, I think that with your strength, you will soon be promoted to the 'world' with S-level difficulty. At that time, the three major gangs will invite you to join."
&&& &&& &&&
While Ji Thrush and the others were chatting with the members of the Poseidon team in the bar, in the endless darkness of the Hourglass Cube, there were also some "wills" who were having a conversation about them.
The dense and slender fibers of light like spider webs are intertwined in the void, and multiple consciousnesses are transmitted and fused with each other along these fine pathways.
[A0551 and his team have returned.]
In the optical network, a consciousness was transmitted.
[And he brought back 〖that thing〗.]
said another will.
[According to the results of data simulation, the probability that he can come back is as high as 99.4%.]
Another consciousness spoke:
[I didn't agree with letting A0551 enter〖that world〗.]
0.1 seconds after the sentence was delivered, a rebuttal was immediately returned.
[We all know that sending him to [that world] is not to kill him, but to get [evidence].]
Immediately afterwards, another consciousness also echoed:
[Now, we have been able to confirm that A0551 has indeed embarked on the previous evolutionary path again.]
There was a brief silence on the optical network.
Then, there are multiple doubts, wrapped in strong despair and sadness, and erupted on the fine network at the same time.
[So, the direction cannot be reversed?]
[Sure enough, this is the established historical trajectory?]
[Then what is the long-term sacrifice of our tribe for?]
[How many times have you failed, is there no other way?]
[How many of us are left? Can it really go on?]
…
[Quiet! It's not time to give up yet!]
Finally, a powerful will exploded in the center of the light path, blocking the complaints and laments that were flying around.
[Let's try again one last time!]
That consciousness says:
[Let's see how A0551 will use [that thing]!]
