Life Dungeon Game

Among them were elderly people with white hair, as well as vigorous middle-aged people.

This office is rather cramped, and it feels a bit crowded with so many people sitting down.

The original boardroom was not located here, but in a spacious room with a great view on the second-to-last floor of the Nord Building. However, that meeting room was completely destroyed in the last evil god summoning incident and is still under reconstruction.

Therefore, the highest authority of the Nord Foundation can only hold its meetings here temporarily.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on an elderly man with white hair sitting at the head of the conference table.

“Mr. Pierpont,” a thin, middle-aged man near the old man spoke slowly.

"The mayoral election in Dawn City will begin on the 20th. After Vent stepped down, we no longer have anyone who can suppress Christos."

The white-haired old man, who had been leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed in rest, opened his eyes slightly after hearing the man's question. His gaze swept over everyone in the conference room, and he slowly said,

"You weren't afraid of this young upstart before, and you even wanted to support him to counter Vent. Why are you suddenly afraid now?"

Not all those present were individual shareholders of the Nord Group; some were representatives from other consortia that held shares in the Nord Group.

This statement is a veiled reference to those who secretly helped Christos.

Everyone fell silent and did not speak.

They originally viewed Christos as a caged beast, dangerous but controllable.

However, the Anvis Group incident shows that this beast is not only capable of breaking free from its cage, but can also bite a tamer who is just watching the show to death.

"Don't rush," the slow, aging voice sounded again, "Unlike me, who is old and frail, you have plenty of time. Before everything is settled, don't be anxious. You must understand what a country is and what a family is."

Pierpont narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The conglomerate is the state."

“Information from the police,” the silver-haired man with a ponytail said, walking up to Christos with a cup of coffee.

"Killi's playing card is the King of Diamonds, while the dead intelligence chief's playing card is the King of Hearts."

Spades, diamonds, hearts, clubs. Spades represent the sword and justice; diamonds represent wealth; hearts represent thought and emotions; and clubs represent the scepter and authority.

Justice was given to you, wealth to Keeley, emotions to the intelligence chief who killed his parents, and power should be with the senator whose house was blown up.

His actions made me feel like he was performing some kind of evil god ritual.

"It's also possible that they just randomly scattered a few cards, leaving the King's 'foot'."

print'"

Christos shook his head and smiled, then looked out the window and fell into a brief moment of thought.

The reason this story spread so widely and had such an explosive effect is that it brought down a multi-billion dollar conglomerate in just one month.

Besides their meticulously planned layout and communication channels, the most crucial factor was that the Anvis Group was standing on a lawn riddled with landmines.

If only one landmine is buried in a lawn, then detonating that landmine will only destroy that small part of the lawn.

However, if there are numerous landmines buried under the lawn, then detonating any one of them will blow up the entire lawn.

Like a domino being toppled, as the first domino falls, all the others slowly follow.

The Anvis Group wasn't actually brought down by them, but by the conglomerate itself.

Every time the conglomerates act perversely, they plant a landmine of rage in people's hearts. This landmine is invisible most of the time, but it is not nonexistent. It lies hidden in people's hearts until it reaches a certain critical point and is detonated, burning everything.

The Anvis Group was merely the first target to be consumed by this raging fire.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ser looked at Christos, who was deep in thought.

"The content of the last campaign speech before the election."

Christos stretched and said softly.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Ser took a sip of coffee.

"I have a bit of an idea."

Christos sat down at his computer and opened a document editor.

The silver-haired man walked to his side, looking at the blank document interface, and asked, "So, what topic are you planning to give this speech?"

Christos stared at the blank document, lost in thought.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he could never grasp the key.

He stopped, shook his head, stretched out his arms to find inspiration, and suddenly noticed the 'King of Spades' next to the computer.

At the Nolde Sky Theatre, the man's silent question slowly echoed in his mind.

'Who can represent the Federation?'

Who can represent the Federation?

He whispered.

"Ok?"

Seeing him pondering the problem, Ser stopped and looked at Christos with a puzzled expression.

However, Christos did not respond to him. Instead, he quickly sat back down and typed the first line on his computer.

The title of his final campaign speech:

The people are the state

Chapter 184 Mission Completed, SS! (Long chapter, please subscribe and add to your favorites)

[Task evaluation and settlement in progress...]

Your task rating is SS.

He Ao looked at the subtitles flashing in his field of vision and let out a long sigh of relief.

In fact, through the previous four system evaluations, He Ao has gradually figured out some patterns in system evaluation.

The system's evaluation consists of four parts: two evaluations of the main quests, evaluations of the side quests, and evaluations of the hidden quests.

For He Ao, the easiest tasks were actually the hidden missions, because as long as the character's wish, or rather, obsession, was fulfilled, a high rating could be obtained. The difficulty lay only in grasping the character's obsession.

The evaluation of side quests is actually a gradual process of improvement, from A for the beginner quest and the first official quest, to S for the second official quest, and then to SS for the third official quest.

Because it has a gradual upward process, He Ao gradually summarized some patterns in the system evaluation scoring.

The beginner's side quest involves killing attacking enemies. The quest isn't fully completed; only a portion is finished, hence the rating.

The first official mission was a side quest to attack the Witch's Church. Heo injured the dancer, indirectly helping to complete the mission, but he did not actually complete the mission, so the rating is also A.

The second official mission, a side mission, was to kill Naja and thwart the mayor's conspiracy. He completed this mission himself. Although he didn't do everything, he led the whole process and received an S death rating.

He Ao speculates that the requirement for obtaining an S rating in a side quest is that the 'player' must take the lead in completing the quest.

The third official SS mission's side quest is to kill the child of the Witch of Desire, thereby saving someone who was supposed to die.

From S to SS, the nature of the task has changed. In addition to leading the completion of the task, it is also necessary to perform a certain 'highly difficult' operation.

For example, in the third official mission, He Ao didn't actually need to kill the Desire Witch's body. He could have waited until the FBI's support arrived and, with the help of the FBI, taken down the Desire Witch's body.

However, he single-handedly killed the child form of the Witch of Desire and saved many people, thus earning an SS rating.

This is just like playing a video game. The difficulty of defeating enemies is different from that of completing the game without taking damage. Naturally, the evaluation you receive will also be different.

Through these missions, He Ao also vaguely grasped the specific patterns and details of the side quests.

All side quests are based on the subjective judgment of the dungeon character, involving attacks or strikes against hostile forces. The greater the damage inflicted on the hostile forces, the higher the difficulty of completion and the higher the evaluation obtained.

The system has no subjective likes or dislikes; side quests are all based on the subjective perception of the dungeon character.

If the dungeon character is a wicked priest like Yezora, then Selena is the enemy and is counted as a target to be eliminated in the side quest.

If the dungeon character becomes an FBI investigator like Ender, then Selena becomes an ally, and the side quest objective becomes the Witch Church, which is hostile to Ender.

Similarly, in this instance, the instance character is

Joey, whose parents were murdered.

The side quest objective is Joey's rival, the Anvis Group, as well as the conglomerates and mayoral forces behind Anvis.

Based on the arrangements He Ao made before leaving, this side quest should be able to achieve at least an SS rating.

Therefore, the SSS rating for the hidden mission and the SS rating for the side mission were within He Ao's expectations before He Ao returned.

As for the main quests, He Ao hadn't really figured out how they were evaluated yet, but he made some attempts based on the patterns of the side quests.

The higher the difficulty of the task, the higher the evaluation.

Since the difficulty of the task itself is fixed, He Ao can increase the difficulty for himself.

For example, remove cheats.

And this cheat is... Selena.

In fact, He Ao had already discovered during the last dungeon run that Selena's existence was, in a sense, a tool used by the system to reduce the difficulty of the game.

The entire instance world actually follows a principle: equivalent exchange.

If you ask Roger for help, you have to pay a certain commission or something of equivalent value.

If you want Christos's help, you must show him the benefits of doing so.

No one in the instance world would impulsively help He Ao without expecting anything in return.

Except for Selena.

This girl is the kind of person who... as long as you ask her for help, and as long as what you're doing is 'just,' she'll really rush over to help without hesitation.

For example, this time, all He Ao needs to do is go to Selena, play the victim, and then tell Selena part of the truth.
