Chapter 551 Sleepless Night
Seeing the strong reaction from everyone, Wu couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly. Those who knew him would keep their distance as a sign of respect, but those who didn't might think they were isolating him.

He could guess some of the reasons why players who had just been promoted to the Realm of Reason would get stuck in the world after the dungeon ended and try to find a match.

When reviewing the information within the Administration Bureau, the first item in the section on how to conquer the Realm of Reason mentioned the initial instance to be entered when entering the Realm of Reason.

It must be said that Abyss Games does indeed take good care of its players on the surface.

Similar to the Desolate Realm, the Realm of Reason has a trial-like dungeon for players who have just entered it. The first dungeon you enter in the Realm of Reason can only be the lowest α-level dungeon, and it will definitely be a dungeon whose dimensional rules are favorable to the player.

This setting is to cater to the vast majority of ordinary players.

For most ordinary players who have just been promoted to the Realm of Reason, they have only entered projection dungeons along the way, and have never even entered an A-level real dungeon, let alone an S-level dungeon.

These ordinary ascended players have absolutely no concept of the so-called dimensional rules, while the dungeons in the Realm of Reason, even the simplest α-level dungeons, have dimensional rule mechanisms.

To help players familiarize themselves with the mechanics of the Realm of Reason, the initial dungeon was created.

The initial instance players enter will definitely be conducive to their performance. High-tech players will not be assigned to instances like the Plague Source, and players with extraordinary energy will not be assigned to instances like Base 45 with its specific rules.

The problem is that there isn't just one set of spatial rules for many planes, making it difficult to find a dungeon that perfectly suits a newly promoted player.

Even though the game has tried its best to reduce the difficulty, it is still too difficult for many players.

To reduce the chance of being killed on the first encounter, the Abyss game has implemented a hidden team-up mechanism.

That is, if multiple newly promoted players enter a dungeon at the same time, their abilities complement each other, which can increase their chances of survival in the dungeon. The Abyss game will then match them into the same dungeon.

Before this, many players who had just been promoted to the Realm of Reason would often get together and team up to enter the initial dungeon. The more players they matched with, the easier it was to form a suitable team when entering the dungeon.

The players currently gathered at the entrance area of ​​the Temple of Truth are all there for the initial dungeon's matchmaking system.

Everyone ascends to the Realm of Reason through world dungeons. The dungeon cooldown time is a natural timer for everyone. There is no need for mutual agreement to gather enough players to match dungeons at the same time.

At this moment, thousands of players have gathered in the gate area. Unless they are extremely unlucky, they can form a reasonable team through the system's matchmaking.

That's why players waiting for the dungeon cooldown to end show respect to the strong players; they might even need to rely on the other player's strength to clear the dungeon if they get matched together later.

Strong people are busy and don't have time to pay attention to who shows them respect. But if everyone else steps back and you stay in the circle, it's hard for the other person not to remember you.

If we happen to end up in the same instance, that would be a real mess.

As the dungeon cooldown ended, players began to enter the mobile platform and head to the dungeon waiting area of ​​the Temple of Truth.

At this point, the players no longer cared about maintaining their formation, and the scene began to descend into chaos.

Meanwhile, Lengshan Jianxing and other members of the Mystic Knights took advantage of the chaos to sneak up to Wu Chang.

Everyone greeted Wu Chang first, then Shadow took out a wisp of black mist and said:
“Boss, the Realm of Reason dungeon is dangerous. Booker and White Horse have high combat power, but they lack combat experience and may encounter danger. That’s why I prepared this item.”

Item Name: Shadow of Union

Item Type: Special

"Item Effect: Using this item will generate a massive shadow that envelops all players within its range, temporarily treating them as a squad. During the duration of Shadow of Union, the squad members' shadows merge into one, allowing them to move in sync for a short period. Duration: 30 minutes."

Players forming complementary teams in the initial dungeon is something that the game encourages. If players form teams using items like team contracts before matching for dungeons, it increases the probability of team members being matched together.

only……

Wu Chang rolled his eyes as he looked at "Shadow of the Union". Shadow and his group wanted to form a team under the names of Booker and White Horse, so why did he and Leng Shan and the others also join in?

He weighed the Shadow of Union in his hand and said:
"With your abilities, conquering the Realm of Reason dungeons shouldn't be difficult. I won't refuse if you want to team up with me, but you should think carefully. The dungeons I send you into are usually more difficult than ordinary dungeons, and following me might actually put you in danger."

Booker immediately said:

"Boss, I'll try my best not to hold you back."

Booker's answer was resolute and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, as if he had completely ignored Wu Chang's warning.

Wu Chang sighed helplessly and looked at the others. The other members of the Mystic Knights reacted the same way as Booker, showing no fear what Wu Chang said.

The α-level dungeons in the Realm of Reason are between the A-level and S-level dungeons in the Desolate Realm, and are usually half a level weaker than S-level dungeons.

They've already conquered all the world dungeons, why would they care about a mere α-level dungeon?

Seeing that no one intended to leave, Wu Chang activated the Shadow of Union.

He reached out and squeezed, and the black mist in his hand broke apart, turning into a huge shadow that enveloped everyone.

At the same time, their shadows merged together, becoming a huge collective shadow.

The shadows were dominated by Wu Chang, while the others were able to move freely, but whatever they did, they all presented a sense of neatness and order.

Wu Chang led the members of the Mystic Knights onto the mobile platform and arrived at the waiting area of ​​the Temple of Truth instance.

The dungeon waiting area is located in a palace deep within the Temple of Truth. Upon entering the palace, one cannot immediately sense its vastness, but even with nearly ten thousand players inside at the same time, it does not feel crowded at all.

The palace's dome was painted with a starry sky, which seemed to possess some kind of magic, making players entering the waiting area unable to resist looking up at it.

Although the starry sky above everyone's heads is a mural, it is not flat; it has depth, as if a real starry sky has been contained within it.

The players' gazes became hazy, immersed in the boundless starry sky. Even players of Cold Mountain and Sword Star's caliber could not resist the allure of the starry sky and could not help but explore it.

Wu Chang also looked up at the starry sky above, but unlike the other players, he was not attracted by the starry sky, but actively explored it.

He could sense that some kind of secret was hidden in this starry sky, but he couldn't immediately discover what it was.

He asked the raven, but the raven did not reply.

Just as he was about to observe the starry sky further, he saw a familiar prompt in the starry sky.

"Matching players for a dungeon. Player's current level: 37. Dungeon difficulty matching probability: α level: 100%"

"Start matching?"

Wu Chang looked around and found that the players' confusion had disappeared and they had all regained their senses. They must have all seen the same prompt to enter the dungeon.

"Start matching."

The stars began to twinkle, and after a brief wait, the notification reappeared in the sky.

"Match complete!"

"Successfully entered 'Reason - 30481' plane."

"Instance Name: Sleepless Night"

"Instance Type: Multiplayer Survival Instance"

"Dungeon Mode: Versus Mode, player-versus-player damage is reduced by 20%."

Dungeon Difficulty: γ

"The official recommended minimum level for dungeon exploration is 40. Players are advised to proceed with caution."

"Instance Status: On the verge of spiraling out of control!"

Seeing the notification that appeared before him, Wu Chang felt a little uneasy. No, even though the game administrators had stopped targeting him, they had at least gone through the motions.

Whether it's a probability of 0.01% or 0.1%, at least it's written in the matching probability. But now, they're not even going through the process anymore?

The prompt indicated a 100% chance of being placed in an α-level dungeon, but it didn't show the existence of a γ-level dungeon. However, the dungeon difficulty was inexplicably raised to γ ​​level.

And it was promised that the initial instance for entering the Realm of Reason would be the simplest instance?
Could it be that the game administrators are still holding a grudge about the world dungeon incident?

He looked at Jianxing and the others and found that their eyes were full of confusion. It seemed that the Shadow of Union had worked and dragged them into the γ-level instance as well.

The extremely high difficulty level, coupled with the fact that the dungeon was bound to be on the verge of spiraling out of control, was still somewhat beyond their capabilities.

He shook his head slightly. He had already told them that the dungeons they would encounter when matched with him would be a bit difficult, but they didn't believe him, so they couldn't blame him.

The next moment, everyone's vision blurred, and they entered the dungeon with a familiar transition.

"Main Mission 1: Survive in Jacques City for at least sixty days and successfully complete the evacuation after the investigation period ends."

"Main Mission Two: Complete at least one Federation-assigned investigation mission." "Main Mission Three: Investigate the truth behind the Light of Collapse."

"Side Mission: Choose one faction to join and help them resolve the Collapse Light incident."

"Multiplayer Battle Mode: The dungeon features multiple factions. Players choose to join a faction and help it achieve the final objective. If the chosen faction wins, the player receives an additional 40% dungeon completion rate. If the chosen faction loses, the completion rate will be adjusted based on the player's performance within the faction. The additional completion rate can increase the total completion rate to a maximum of 70%, with any excess being converted into basic dungeon rewards."

"Note: This is a special permanent instance. If you enter the instance for the first time and your completion rate is ≥70% at the end of the instance and you successfully resolve the Light of Collapse event, you will be able to open a fixed passage to this instance plane."

Wu Chang analyzed the dungeon missions. The three main missions and the side combat missions were all standard and no different from other dungeons in the Wasteland.

The only thing that caught his attention was that the Sleepless Night dungeon and the Anthem Company dungeon were both special permanent dungeons.

This type of instance mode is not common. When an instance has this label, it usually means that the instance is a resource instance. The instance contains special technologies or resources that can only be obtained by repeatedly entering the instance and managing it over a long period of time.

It's difficult to obtain, but the rewards are commensurate with the difficulty.

The psychic activation surgery performed by the Anthem Company enabled Wu Chang to change his class to Mind Traveler, which is enough to prove the value of the special permanent instance.

Current copy contamination level: 100

"Master of Breakthrough" attribute boost: 50%

"The player starts as a human and the hero title effect is activated. The player's inspiration and will attributes are increased by 100%, and nearby followers are granted the Heroic status, which increases their will attribute by 30% and grants them a certain degree of immunity to negative statuses such as fear and despair."

With the buffs from the Breakthrough Master and Hero, Wu Chang's current attribute panel is as follows:

Player nickname: Doesn't eat beef

Player Level: 37 (8160/33000)

Health: 338 (225)

Strength: 390 (260)

Agility: 188 (125)

Endurance: 203 (135)

Energy: 452 (301)

Inspiration: 476 (238)

Willpower: 626 (313)

(Note: The values ​​in parentheses are the attributes before the amplification.)
Looking at the attribute panel after the title bonus, Wu Chang was somewhat moved. He hadn't expected that his attributes would reach this level without him even realizing it.

The Realm of Reason was indeed more solid than the Desolate Realm, allowing him to unleash his power to his heart's content. Even with his energy attribute reaching 452 points, he still did not feel any impact on the dimensional barrier.

However, this freedom is only temporary. With the blessing of the hero, his will attribute can vaguely sense the upper limit of the rational realm. However, the title ability of "the violator" allows him to break through the lowest level of dimensional restrictions, so that his will is not restrained.

Based on the situation, it is speculated that the upper limit of a single attribute in the Realm of Reason is 600 points. If this value is exceeded, the Realm of Reason will be subject to dimensional suppression.

In other words, when he transforms into the Abyss Serpent, even with the help of the "Breaker," he will still be suppressed by the dimensional barrier.

This made him shake his head, thinking to himself that the Abyss game was too stingy. How could it allow newly promoted players to be suppressed by the Abyss Barrier? If word got out, people would think that the players couldn't afford to allocate attribute points.

Wu Chang shifted his attention from the attribute panel and began to observe the situation around the dungeon.

He was currently inside a transport vehicle, fully armed, seemingly preparing to complete a mission.

Because it is a multiplayer battle mode, the players are scattered when they enter the safe zone of the instance. In addition to him, there are six other players in the carriage.

He sat at the very back of the carriage, with the driver's seat behind him. In front of him, six players sat facing each other. The three on his left were all members of the Arcane Knights: Sword Star, Negotiator, and Veronica.

The three of them were still unconscious and were resting with their eyes closed.

Sitting opposite them were three unfamiliar players, two men and one woman. In order of distance from Wu Chang, they were a bald, burly man, a female priest in white robes, and a male mage in a suit—a standard warrior-mage-priest combination.

They also had their eyes closed, so Wu Chang couldn't clearly see their strength, but they exuded the aura of seasoned veterans of the Realm of Reason.

If nothing unexpected happens, these three are not players who have just been promoted to the Realm of Reason.

A minute later, Jianxing opened his eyes first, and the bald man opposite him woke up almost at the same time.

Ten seconds later, the female priest and the male mage regained consciousness, and five seconds later, the negotiation master and Veronica finally woke up.

The seven people sat in the carriage, sizing each other up.

The bald man scrutinized Wu Chang and the others with a strange look in his eyes. All three of them were veterans of the Realm of Reason, and they could clearly see the newcomer aura emanating from Wu Chang and the others.

This doesn't mean that Wu Chang and the others were immature when they entered the instance, but rather that their mental state was too healthy.

Only players who have just been promoted from the Desolate Realm to the Realm of Reason possess such a refreshing state.

Anyone who spends too much time in the Realm of Reason, even with the protection of a private space, will be tainted by the abyssal aura under constant high pressure, developing a decaying and slowly collapsing smell.

This smell is not a physical odor, but a feeling. Once you get used to it, it's hard to get rid of, and you'll feel its presence everywhere in your life.

That is why the players of the Realm of Reason are so eager to return to Earth.

The bald man couldn't understand why the four newcomers who had just been promoted to the Realm of Reason were so unlucky as to be assigned to a γ-level instance.

He couldn't understand why these four newcomers were so strong.

The boy sitting opposite him gave off the feeling of a drawn sword, sharp and fearless.

The other party regained consciousness a moment earlier than him, and their strength should be similar to his, clearly possessing the power of the origin.

The two women next to him woke up later and probably hadn't yet obtained the power of the source, making them slightly inferior to his companion. However, considering that they were just newcomers who had just entered the Realm of Reason, their strength seemed quite exaggerated.

Even more dangerous was the burly man, who looked like a small giant, leaning against the driver's seat.

That person was the first to wake up in the carriage. When he regained consciousness, the other person had clearly been awake for some time, which indicated a significant difference in their abilities.

He found it hard to accept that a newly promoted rookie could actually overwhelm him in terms of strength.

But he couldn't accept the physical difference even more than the difference in strength.

Before entering the Abyss game, he was a professional bodybuilder and was extremely confident in his physique. He named himself Tank, meaning a humanoid tank.

Aside from players who can transform, he could fit anyone else inside him, but compared to the men around him, his colossal body, nurtured by the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin, suddenly appeared petite.

Whether it's physical attributes, size, muscle definition, muscle texture, or even muscle detail, none of them can compare to the other.

The difference in size wasn't just in muscles, but also in presence. The other person sat motionless, yet seemed to fill the entire carriage.

In the past, before entering a dungeon, he would first give himself an acupuncture, then do a front bicep flexion, and then a crab pose exclusive to macho men to awaken his dormant muscles.

But today was different. With the other party present, he was actually so intimidated that he dared not make any rash moves.

This made him afraid to appear too assertive, yet also afraid to show his "weak" physique.

Although he was deeply hurt, he was still the leader of the three-person team, so he took the initiative to greet the three of them.

"My name is Tank. The three of us are teammates. We were matched together to tackle the dungeon. It's fate that we ended up in the same safe zone. May I ask who the four of you are?"

Wu Chang said:

“I am Heping, and the four of us are together. If you want to come along, I don’t mind.”

Tank hissed, thinking to himself, "What arrogance! A mere newcomer who has just entered the Realm of Reason has such a big mouth."

With his fiery temper, he couldn't tolerate this. He glared at the other person, ready to test their mettle.

But when he saw Wu Chang's large and hard penis and felt the fear emanating from his own muscles, he couldn't muster any courage, and his newly aroused anger immediately died down.

After calming down, he recalled the other person's self-introduction and suddenly felt that he seemed to have heard the name Heping somewhere before.

Just as he looked at his teammates, wanting to ask them if they remembered hearing the name before, the safe zone around them was breached, and the closed carriage was opened.

A middle-aged man in military uniform and sunglasses appeared at the train door. He knocked on the carriage and said:
"The chat is over. The plane to Jacques is ready. You guys should get going."
