Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"I didn't see it when I fought against you. I never thought that Mika's fighting ability could be on par with Hinata using a machine gun."

Outside the venue, Danrito happily turned on the monitor and admired the hard work of each contestant. Among them, there were only a few contestants who Danrito felt were capable of competing for his "Trinity Chronicle" cartridge.

"Sure enough, the seeded player has to be the strongest fighter from Holy Trinity College, Shengyuan Weihua!"

Whether it is powerful combat power or precise marksmanship, under the mysterious blessing of Weihua, her submachine gun is even more powerful than the guns of ordinary students.

There wasn't much feeling when confronting Danrito himself, because Danrito's fighting ability was like cheating. No matter what level of students they were, fighting him was like a gnat trying to shake a tree.

"But judging by speed, Weihua, who entered the dungeon alone, is actually the fastest," Danrito commented with interest. "Because she only has Mihua as her target, the monsters that spawn in every room of the dungeon will immediately focus their aggro on Mihua. This is just the monster AI I set up early on; it won't involve resorting to guerrilla warfare to stall for time."

"So, in the early observations of the dungeon clearing, Mika will probably advance in a straight line at a fairly fast speed."

"Mr. Danrito, what are you doing?"

Nagisa's voice came from the side. Although she tried hard to suppress her curiosity, her eyes involuntarily drifted to the screen in front of Danrito.

"Is this a live broadcast of Dungeon Raiders?"

Nagisa asked curiously as she looked at Mika who was heading towards the next room on the screen.

"That's right. From here I can watch every student entering the dungeon in real time."

Dan Lidou glanced through the more than a thousand screens in front of him, picked out a few of his acquaintances, and enlarged these screens. These were the seeded players that Dan Lidou was optimistic about.

"This person is Nagasaki Hina, the discipline committee member of Gehenna Academy, right? Following her are indeed several of the top members of the discipline committee. This combination is definitely a crushing force among the students."

Nagisa was referring to the four-person team of Hina, Ako, Iori, and Chinatsu. These four pillars of the Discipline Committee were not only skilled in handling daily affairs, but also on the battlefield.

Professional, well-coordinated, and powerful, the elite Discipline Committee led by Hinai quickly stood out from the crowd of students with their ruthless and annihilating attitude. Especially in a level like this, which presented no challenge, their speed was maximized.

"That's all we need to do, according to the battle plan to quickly suppress the troublemakers."

Yazi held the tablet computer. She was responsible for battlefield alert support. She analyzed every movement on the battlefield as quickly as possible and reported the optimal solution to the other three.

"Such scenes can be seen every day in Gehenna. Is this considered a challenge?"

"Don't be arrogant, Yazi. This is just the first level."

Hinai skillfully reloaded her machine gun. "I heard there are some very interesting battle levels in this random dungeon. I'm really curious to see what kind of surprises Kivotos's most powerful game producer has prepared for us."

"Ah! Isn't this Hifumi-san? As expected, she's with Hanako and the others."

Nagisa saw familiar people in this scene. Hifumi, who was carrying a Peloro backpack, formed an unbreakable alliance with Azusa, Koharu, and Hanako. They also stood out among many student contestants with their tacit cooperation.

"If a team can work together well, their advantages will become more apparent as they advance through the stages."

Shengya looked worried. "Then, if you say so, doesn't that mean Weihua is doomed to fail?"

Danrito commented, "But nothing is absolute. Random dungeons, as for the randomness of them, you'll soon see."

With this question in mind, the two continued to watch. Although they weren't as skilled as Danrito, who could process the various information on thousands of screens at a glance, after Danrito singled out a few key scenes, Shengya and Nagisa quickly understood why Danrito said that nothing in the random dungeon was absolute.

"What is this?"

Weihua looked at the three balls of light that appeared with curiosity. After she cleared all the enemies in the room, the three balls of light fell in front of her.

Each light ball carries a short text description. After defeating the enemies here, it seems that this is one of the three choices given to Weihua as a room reward.

"Room reward? Is this something you get after clearing a room?"

When Weihua approached the ball of light in front of him, words naturally appeared on the ball of light.

"Spread: The weapon fires an additional bullet."

"Tracking: Bullets fired by weapons will have a small tracking effect."

"Explosive: The bullets fired by the weapon will cause a small explosion damage."

Weihua clapped his hands in sudden realization: "Ah, this is what was mentioned in the previous rules, the blessing skill that will provide enhanced weapons!"

"That means I'll get stronger the deeper I go into the dungeon!"

Weihua did understand a little bit of the truth in this. During the dungeon clearing, the more blessing skills she obtained, the more powerful power she could exert that was different from usual. It was a special form that could only be exerted in this dungeon.

Not only the students who hadn't spent the rest of their time clearing the first room had discovered this special buff called the Blessing Skill. The students who had come from Huanmeng High School to participate in the event were especially familiar with these mechanics.

Aren’t these the tower climbing races where they are usually tortured to death in the God’s Arena?

"Hmm... This feeling is completely different from usual. Has the rapid-fire performance increased?"

Taking the skill from the light ball in front of him, Hinai felt the feel of the gun as he fired. Although the gun was still the same gun, the bullet's rate of fire had undoubtedly increased.

"It seems that each of us has received the same blessing skill."

Yazi smoothed the hair by her ears and after confirming with others, it can be concluded that when forming a team, the skills obtained by everyone in the team are the same, that is, the first person to choose a skill will determine what blessing skill everyone in the team obtains.

"Isn't the rate of fire determined by how fast I pull the trigger?"

Iori raised her bolt-action rifle. With a single-shot weapon like hers, even if the firing rate was high, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference. "It seems we should try to choose skills that increase the power of our shots."

Yazi nodded and said, "A strategy that relies on overwhelming firepower to crush all enemies...it's almost the same as usual tactics."

"Sorry, I didn't know this blessing skill only had one option."

Hinata felt a little regretful for her rash decision, and Ako beside her quickly comforted her: "It's okay, Chairman, it's just a game anyway, no need to take it so seriously!"

Chinatsu pushed up her glasses and said, "That's right, Chairman. Don't take it to heart. Just choose a room carefully next time."

After comforting the chairman who seemed a little lost for some reason, Team Hina, the team with the greatest hope of challenging the top spot on the speedrunning list at Gehenna Academy, also continued to move on to the next room.

The reward for completing the game not only includes the blessing skill, but also two other items added by Dan Lidou.

One is an item called "Cursed Artifact", which adds a certain debuff to the body in exchange for a power that is more powerful than the buff brought by the blessing skill.

The stronger the debuff, the more powerful the corresponding skill can be exchanged for. It all depends on how the player chooses.

One is a short-term enhancement called "temporary status." This type of temporary status usually has a much stronger benefit than blessing skills and cursed artifacts, but the price is that this status usually does not last long, usually existing in one or two rooms before dissipating.

"...Oh~ So that's what you mean."

Hifumi scratched her head and put down the rules explanation cassette in her hand. Now, floating before Hifumi's team were these three completely different rewards for completing the game.

"Piercing: Weapon bullets will penetrate an additional enemy."

"Cursed Artifact: Wing Boots: Movement speed increases, but shooting power decreases."

"Status: Overheat: In the next two rooms, the power of your weapons will be greatly increased."

"This is truly a rare and extraordinary situation!"

Danrito saw the room rewards Hifumi's team had obtained through the surveillance window, and his eyes lit up. "I can't believe a team has managed to get all three rewards at once so quickly. In my estimation, the probability of this happening is less than one in a thousand."

Faced with this difficult problem of choosing one from three, the Hifumi team was briefly in a dilemma.

"Ahh! I'm so confused! I can't figure it out!"

In the end, Hifumi could only look for help at Azusa and Hanako who were thinking seriously.

"Um... Xiaozi, and Hanako... What should we choose in this situation?"

Hifumi looked at the three rewards in front of her with a headache. Each one looked very powerful, but she already knew the rules from the cassette. The four of them could only choose one thing as a reward, which made Hifumi very troubled.

"As for me, I would choose that cursed artifact."

Hanako was the first to voice her opinion: "While the Cursed Artifact will permanently inflict negative effects, since it's an in-game item, there must be a reason for its combination of both positive and negative benefits."

"Also, according to my speculation, although the cursed artifact will have a debuff, there must be some item that matches it to offset or completely ignore the debuff."

"Although status-based rewards may seem powerful, they are limited in effectiveness. They should only be considered when other rewards are exhausted, or when additional items are unnecessary."

After Hanako finished her analysis, Azusa nodded: "The difference between short-term gains and long-term gains, right?"

"At first glance, a cursed artifact that inflicts debuffs may seem inferior to a blessing skill or status that only has positive effects. However, its inclusion in the rewards list must have a reason."

"Since everyone says so..."

Hifumi reached out, reaching for the cursed artifact, "The decision is yours, Wingboots!"

Outside the surveillance screen, Nagisa nodded in satisfaction and said, "I was right. Hanako-san is someone who can grasp long-term benefits. However, Hifumi-san's performance is also remarkable. In situations like this, an excellent leader is indispensable, especially in teamwork."

Danrito rolled his eyes. "Are you sure you're not saying that about Hifumi-san because you particularly like her?"

"That's not the case!"

Nagisa blushed and sat down hurriedly: "I have always regarded Hifumi-san as my sister!"

Shengya covered her mouth and said, "Nagisa, what you said is no different from exposing yourself~"

Random dungeons, while still called random, offered a relatively low level of difficulty in the first ten rooms. Considering that players hadn't yet accumulated enough Blessing skills, the pass rate for the first ten rooms was around 95%. Of course, there were some unlucky players who were eliminated in the first ten easy rooms. These defeated players would appear in the festival venue outside with a flash of light.

Each death will limit the contestant's challenge cooldown for a period of time. The initial cooldown is five seconds, and then it will gradually double until the cooldown refresh time reaches the maximum of ten minutes.

This rule shortens the number of challenges a team can take to a certain level. In addition, the Chronicle event is only open for one day. Under the dual constraints of time and energy, the challenge opportunities of the contestants are invisibly compressed.

"Look, although there's no limit on the number of times contestants can challenge this competition, and I've said they can challenge it unlimitedly, the cooldown period, random mazes, and event duration all invisibly limit everyone's number of attempts."

A gleam flashed in Danrito's eyes. "To reach the top of this event, it's not something that can be achieved through unlimited trial and error as some people imagine. Strength, wisdom, and luck are all essential."

366. Weihua’s brutal charge!

"W-What is that?!"

On this day, the students of Trinity finally remembered the fear of being dominated by mythical creatures... No, there is no such non-existent memory!

The eldest daughter of Holy Trinity was so frightened that her legs went weak and her voice rose several octaves: "Run, run! What kind of monster is that? A dragon! Is it a dragon?!"

The panicked challengers, when they saw the legendary dragon spread its wings, were so frightened that their legs trembled and they turned around and fled!

The flying dragon restored with gaming technology is so detailed that every scale and every claw are clearly displayed. The picture quality is even better than AIPC, and now it is unfolding in front of the students!

"Is that really something that a game can do?"

Even with the blessing skill, this Trinity student still couldn't resist the urge to hold on to the submachine gun.

"I feel like I can't hold it anymore..."

In front of her, a giant red dragon covered the sky and released a terrifying roar at her!

"Roar--!!"

After letting out a deafening roar, the red dragon flew into the sky, gliding at high speed towards the students, and spewed out flames from its mouth that burned everything!

"Oysters, oysters, oysters! Whoa! Run!!"

In front of such a terrifying legendary creature, no matter how secure the guns in the students' hands were, they could not muster the slightest desire to fight back. They had already forgotten all the tactics and skills, and could only run wildly on the battlefield like a headless fly.

And the result... the guy who turned his back to the enemy was naturally burned to ashes by the dragon's flames.

Of course, Danrito also considerately disabled some overly radical effects here. For example, the feeling of throwing a person up and chewing and swallowing them. In the game field, it can even simulate the pain that spreads throughout the body when a person is chewed up in the dragon's mouth.

"But considering that these are all underage students, I specifically prohibit such overly radical feelings. What do you think? Am I being considerate?"

Danrito folded his arms with satisfaction, and Nagisa, who was standing beside him, raised his hand and swung a folding fan on his head.

"This is too scary! How can someone be so rude?"

Just by looking at the images coming out of the screen, the red dragon seemed incredibly realistic. Nagisa could already guess what the students who were facing the giant dragon on the scene felt like.

In the previous level, the robots were harmless and commonplace, but in the next level, the style suddenly changed to a giant dragon from a fantasy world. Although this is a fantasy monster that fits the style of a dungeon, the style is too different!

"What is that? A dragon? A giant dragon from a picture book?" Nagisa covered her face. "You know, Mr. Danrito, isn't the difficulty too high? How could the students normally fight against something like this?"

"Oh, it's okay. You'll get used to it after dying for a while~"

Danrito waved his hand nonchalantly. "This is gaming territory. If you don't use some imagination in the gaming world, how can it even be called a game? We're not playing Farming Simulator."

"Ohhhh, a dragon!"

Different from Nagisa's worried expression, Shengya on the side had starry eyes at the moment and seemed to be quite interested in this.

"They've actually managed to reproduce even this level of detail? Whether it's the flapping of wings and the pre-animation of the fire breath, it's all just right..."

Shengya didn't look afraid at all, instead displaying a different attitude than usual. While maintaining a refined posture, she kept her eyes glued to the screen as closely as possible, carefully observing the Red Dragon's every move.

"Hey? Shengya, don't you feel scared?"

Zhu looked at his good friend in confusion, feeling that the Shengya he had known for many years was suddenly a little different today.
