This time, your goal is to face—

With a flash of light, a picture of the Dark Demon appeared.

Target Name: Dark Demon

[Characteristics: As a demon in Hell known as the 'Root of Terror,' it possesses overwhelming power. Even a single piece of its flesh can grant the eater the ability to regenerate infinitely in the darkness and achieve near-omniscience. It represents the primal fear of darkness that humanity has held since ancient times.]

[Value: 200 S Points]

[Limited Time Offer: 180:00]

[Punishment for Failure: Annihilation]

[Friendly reminder: This is your first time facing a monster with a score of over 100. If you feel overwhelmed, you can defeat other primal demons in Hell, or any one of the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse' as an alternative.]

Looking at the mission briefing.

Gone are the usual slightly wicked introductions of monsters' hobbies and catchphrases; only a score assessment representing danger remains.

Long Yuanxiang couldn't help but gasp in astonishment:

"Are you kidding me...?"

"What do you mean that the highest score we ever got in previous exams was no more than 90 points, but this time it skyrocketed to 200 points?!"

Even the usually expressionless Morishita Ran was now somewhat at a loss, clutching the hem of her clothes.

I never expected that I would only have enough points to buy an enhanced outfit, thinking that I would feel a little safer.

The difficulty level was ridiculously high!

Is it really going to end in total annihilation for everyone in this exam?

Her mind was racing; she was even thinking:

If the mission fails, the Supreme God didn't make it clear earlier whether he would annihilate them all or just take away one of their lives.

If it's the former, then this group of people is probably really going to die here today.

I was infected by this despair.

Yotsuya Miko asked in a trembling voice:

"Su, Su Wei... what should we do now?"

Long Yuanxiang sighed:

"What other options are there?"

"Give up your illusions and prepare for battle. Either way, we're going to die. Even if we die, at least we can die with some dignity."

Su Wei stroked his chin and stepped forward at the opportune moment to reassure the troops:

"Calm down."

"Usually, after Black Ball introduces the monster target, he gives us a one-minute preparation buffer."

"Although the main god hasn't explicitly stated it, we can't simply pretend it doesn't exist."

"Everyone, take a look at the previous stores and see if there's anything worth exchanging."

"Or quickly upgrade the items you have."

"To avoid suffering losses later."

Honami Ichinose quickly adjusted her mindset and turned to the newlyweds, offering a suggestion:

"Yotani, Nanase, Iori, Morishita-san."

"You probably don't have any extra S points left, so go and redeem the basic [Enhanced Suit] first!"

"Leave the rest to us. After the exam, I'll post the rules I've figured out in the group chat, and you can learn about them then."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko, Nanase Tsubasa, and the others also understood the priorities.

While looking down at his wristwatch, he was teleported to a separate changing room to change into his enhanced suit as the girls transformed into streaks of light.

Long Yuanxiang, who remained where he was, exclaimed in surprise at his wristwatch:

"I'm sorry!"

"Will the Heavenly Craftsman send a customized gift, or a stripped-down version?"

"Damn it, I need to spend another 100 points to revert to the original configuration?!"

Upon hearing this, Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.

"Longyuan, have you forgotten your midterm exam scores?"

"Divide your score by two... You don't actually think the black ball would be making a losing deal, do you?"

Long Yuanxiang frowned and curled his lip:

"This damned, heartless system..."

"I have exactly 103 points left in my account. This price must be exactly what I'm asking for!"

"Damn it! I was hoping to save some money to choose a Svenwistain to match this cybernetic body!"
