Chapter 1680, Mode 3, Bonus Level!
[Mode 2: Tower Defense]
Description: Enter a specific scenario and protect a random target from a continuous stream of monsters or enemies. The longer you protect it, the more points you earn. The trial ends if the core target is destroyed or the participant voluntarily gives up.
Points are earned based on the duration of the protection session and the number of waves.
Features: Tests comprehensive defense, endurance and clearing capabilities. Points accumulate over time, but the pressure is constant and the risk increases dramatically in the later stages.
[Mode 3: Time Limit]
Description: Enter a special scene where various monsters will continuously spawn within a specified time. Defeating these monsters has a chance to drop 'Point Orbs'. Picking up these orbs will earn you points.
Points earned: Based on the drop rate of monsters killed.
Note: Monster strength and spawn density increase over time. Individual luck is related to the trial participant's hidden luck attributes and some special talents/abilities, which greatly affect the drop rate of 'Points Orbs'.
Features: Extremely high degree of freedom, with an theoretically unlimited upper limit to points acquisition, but it places extremely high demands on monster-clearing efficiency and personal luck.
Three modes, three different challenge methods and ways to earn points, were clearly presented to Ye Chuyun.
However, Ye Chuyun completely ignored the first two options, and his gaze was instantly locked onto Mode 3.
"Drop rate..." Ye Chuyun's breathing became rapid involuntarily, and her heart began to pound wildly.
A thought that almost made him burst out laughing exploded in his mind: "This is practically a welfare level tailor-made for my SSS-level talent, [100% Drop Rate]!!"
[100% Drop Rate] The effect is simple and straightforward: killing any monster will guarantee an item drop.
Although the quality and quantity of dropped items are affected by the monster itself and the environment, the core rule of "guaranteed drop" is absolute.
In this time-limited level, there is a chance to obtain score orbs by defeating monsters.
So, what does this probability mean for Ye Chuyun, who has a 100% drop rate?
He is almost certain to trigger the talent effect, forcibly turning this "probability of occurrence" into "certain occurrence".
It's even possible that due to the strong intervention of talent, the number or quality of the bursting point orbs will receive additional bonuses.
Combined with the "personal luck coefficient" stat, although Ye Chuyun was not clear about his exact hidden luck value, it was definitely not low, which would further amplify his benefits.
"Monster clearing efficiency... With [Elemental Domination], numerous A-rank and S-rank talents, and several powerful divine abilities, how could my monster clearing efficiency be low?"
"The monster's strength has increased, which is perfect. The stronger the monster, the higher its base score, and the more points the score orbs that drop after I kill it may contain."
"This isn't a trial, it's a treasure trove of points for me!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Chuyun stepped forward and placed her palm on the stone tablet below the line of text "[Mode 3: Time Limit]".
"I choose the time-limited level!"
hum!
The stone tablet shone brightly, and a powerful suction force came, instantly engulfing Ye Chuyun's figure.
He was transported to a separate space.
This is an endless wilderness, the air thick with the stench of blood, and distant roars and howls can be faintly heard.
[The time-limited trial begins!]
[Scene: Endless Wasteland]
Total time limit: 60 minutes
Current wave: 1
[Refresh countdown: 10, 9, 8....]
[Hint: Defeat monsters and collect the dropped point orbs. The longer you survive, the stronger the monsters become, the faster they respawn, and the richer the rewards! Good luck, trial participant!]
The notification sound echoed in his mind, and the countdown kept urging him on.
Ye Chuyun quickly scanned the surroundings and confirmed that it was a relatively open area.
He immediately activated the [Elemental Domination] talent, establishing a connection with the sparse but violent fire and lightning elements in the surrounding environment.
Nine small swords silently appeared, surrounding his body, while the [Myriad Transformations Spirit Armor] covered his body, adjusting to the optimal protective state according to the environment.
Ye Chuyun adjusted herself to her peak condition, like a fully drawn bow, just waiting for the prey to appear.
The countdown reached zero the instant...
From all directions, a hundred meters away from Ye Chuyun, the space distorted, and countless figures appeared out of thin air.
The first wave of monsters has arrived!
They come in all shapes and sizes: there are skeleton warriors engulfed in green flames and wielding bone blades; there are demonic jackals with skin as hard as iron and bared fangs; there are ghostly vengeful spirits floating in mid-air, emitting piercing howls; and there are even several enormous rock behemoths with spikes on their backs!
There were hundreds of them!
Although most of their individual auras were between the fourth and fifth rank, their sheer numbers combined created a killing intent comparable to that of a Heavenly-level expert.
However, in Ye Chuyun's eyes, there was only a burning light, like a hunter eyeing its prey.
"Well done!"
"I'll accept this first point!"
He let out a low shout, and his figure transformed into a blurry streak of light as he charged towards the area where the monsters were most concentrated.
He held nothing back when faced with the swarming monsters.
"Thunderfire Purgatory!"
With a thought, crimson flames and golden lightning appeared out of thin air, centered on Ye Chuyun, instantly transforming into an elemental storm covering an area of tens of meters.
Flames scorched the skeletons and jackals' bodies with crackling sounds, while lightning, like silver snakes, struck the elusive ghosts with pinpoint accuracy, causing them to emit shrill screams.
Even the thick-skinned rock behemoths began to melt under the continuous scorching and bombardment of the energy intertwined with lightning and fire.
At the same time, the nine sword spirits transformed into nine streams of death light, specifically targeting and killing those who tried to approach from the side or rear.
Ye Chuyun himself was like a tiger among sheep, his fists and feet carrying immense power and sharp spatial cutting force. Wherever he passed, skeletons fell apart and jackals flew everywhere. He was almost invincible.
After defeating the monster, the most exciting scene for Ye Chuyun occurred.
Every monster he killed, without exception, would have one to several prismatic crystals appear at the spot where its body disappeared as its body disintegrated and vanished.
This is the [Integration Orb]!
These spheres of light varied in size and intensity, but each one of them exploded!
"As expected, the [100% drop rate] has taken effect. Under this rule, every kill will drop a point orb."
Ye Chuyun felt a little more at ease and moved three times faster.
While he was slaughtering wildly, he was also multitasking, quickly gathering the scattered point orbs of light and storing them inside his body.
With each ball of light he absorbed, he could feel a faint warm current flowing into him, and at the same time, an invisible counter seemed to tick gently in his mind.
