Chapter 4128 Level 1
Chapter 4128 Level 1
Chapter 4128 The first level
Ultimately, the Dream Mirror team chose the "Nereid" level.
There was no way around it; Laplace knew far too much information, so much so that he even included battle strategies.
Comparing the "Earth Angels" level, while Angor might be able to explore the information within "World Grinding Sun" from a god's-eye view, he could not possibly obtain such detailed information about the "Earth Angels".
In this situation, if they still don't choose Nereid, then they're truly obsessed.
Having made their choice, they didn't hesitate any longer and prepared to start the challenge immediately.
Although the current levels of the six-piece puzzle are quite difficult, challengers should not be underestimated; some teams may already be ahead of the curve.
For example... the team that Miss Gossa belongs to.
With Miss Gossa's abilities, even if she suffers a Waterloo in today's challenge, as long as she goes offline to rest for a day and makes a "prediction" offline using her abilities, her progress bar will definitely leap forward significantly tomorrow, and she might even be able to clear the level.
Therefore, we cannot delay any longer.
They left the Manor of Words and returned to the Crystal Plains.
Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the onlookers.
"Are the Dream Mirror Organization members also going to enter the Sand Table Wonderland?"
"Several teams have already failed in their attempts. Will they succeed?"
"I think it's very difficult. The known challenges so far are all hunting challenges, and the difficulty of each hunting target is excessive. There are even elemental dragons. Even if you put a real body in there, you wouldn't be able to win, let alone a body from the Dream Crystal Plains..."
"You are you, and Dream Mirror is Dream Mirror. Dream Mirror is different from the other teams; they have a lot of hidden items. I bet they'll make progress today, and even if they can't get a perfect score, they'll still get a high score!"
"But then again, what exactly does 'perfect completion' mean? Doesn't completing the hunting mission after achieving the objective count as a perfect completion?"
A rustling sound rang out on the crystal.
Some people are looking forward to it, while others are curious and worried.
But most people still surrounded the teams that had failed in their challenges, asking for relevant information.
For example, the police tower and Muda's team were surrounded and questioned by a group of people.
They remained silent, while Eveda negotiated with the other squads around them.
When Iveda saw the rabbit girl and the others appear, she wanted to come over, but Angel waved her hand, telling her to take care of the people around her first.
There were dozens or even hundreds of people surrounding them. If Iveda came, she would definitely bring a huge procession.
After everyone returned to Crystal Origin, Gray Porcelain was still somewhat worried: "Are we just going in straight in? Shouldn't we prepare something first?"
Angell: "How do you plan to prepare?"
Gray Porcelain hesitated for a moment: "For example, see if we can rent some Wonderland items that can generate elemental shields..."
“Instead of renting these, we should set them up ourselves,” Angor said. “As long as we have elemental gems, it’s not difficult to set up an elemental shield.”
Angell reassured Gray Porcelain not to worry too much, that he would handle it. Gray Porcelain only needed to use his "Danger Sense" talent to provide them with advance warnings.
Although Gray Porcelain still had some worries, she remembered what the police tower had said: dying in the Nereid checkpoint wouldn't hurt too much. With that in mind, Gray Porcelain stopped worrying.
At worst, it'll just be a one-round exit, and they'll be eliminated.
Next, Angel glanced at the sand table phantom on the floating island, then turned to the rabbit girl: "Let's start forming up the squad."
The rabbit girl pointed to herself: "Me?"
Angel nodded: "Of course, aren't you the one who most strongly supports conquering Area 1?"
The rabbit girl hesitated, a little embarrassed: "But I..."
Angel shook his head: "No buts. According to the current intelligence, the captain basically has to be present at every checkpoint."
"If I were the team leader, wouldn't I have to be in charge of every single level?"
As Angell finished speaking, he glanced wistfully at the rabbit girl.
The biggest reason he didn't want to become the regimental commander was that the commander had to have perfect attendance.
Angel wasn't lazy; he was just worried that something had happened that required his attention, and if he left temporarily, the team wouldn't be able to continue clearing the game.
Therefore, Angell had no choice but to relinquish the position of commander.
If Laplace were to be with them, then Laplace would be the best choice to be the leader.
However, once Laplace enters the instance, the mist spirits outside will disappear, so she cannot join them in exploring the Sandbox Wonderland for the time being.
Therefore, the rabbit girl has no choice but to take on this important task.
Seeing Angor's insistence and Laplace's signal for her to take responsibility, the rabbit girl pursed her lips and said firmly, "Alright, I'll do it! Leave the battle with Nereid to me!"
After speaking, the rabbit girl looked up and stared intently at the sand table projection in the sky.
The next second, a prompt to enter appeared in the text box.
"Do you choose 'Nereid' as your challenge level?"
"whether"
"Attention! Once you make a selection, you cannot select another level until the score for that level is calculated!"
Without hesitation, she clicked "Yes," and then followed the prompts one by one, quickly entering the formation interface.
Welcome to "Nereid," one of the six-part platter.
"Basic level information (introduction/rules) has been loaded."
"The challenger is currently not affiliated with any team."
"Automatically activate the team creation interface —"
Please select the operation command:
1. Create entirely new combat units
2. Apply to join the designated team
The bunny girl naturally chose "1", but just as she was about to continue building her team, she got stuck at the first step.
Please confirm your team name in the text field. Once confirmed, it cannot be changed.
Immediately afterwards, the rabbit girl saw a box pop up in the text field. There was a blank line in the middle, but a quill pen icon kept flashing, as if urging the rabbit girl to confirm the name.
The writing method is also very simple; just follow the team chat method and input your thoughts.
Of course, you can also write it by hand if you want.
Writing her own name was no problem for her, but choosing a suitable team name made her hesitate.
This wasn't her team alone, so the bunny girl thought for a moment and decided to bring up the issue with everyone...
"Naming it?" Angell asked with interest. "That's interesting. Let me think about it."
Ingres felt that his creative desire was already growing vigorously.
But just then, Laplace spoke up: "We're all terrible at naming things, so you can just fill in any name you like."
“Who’s terrible at naming things?” Angell keenly caught a certain word and looked intently at Laplace.
Laplace said calmly, "I was referring to myself."
Although Laplace's answer eased Angel's wariness somewhat, he still sensed a hint of something unreadable in Laplace's gaze.
“Or do you want to name it? Then you can name it,” Laplace said, looking at Angel.
Angell's mouth moved, and he finally coughed: "Whoever is the commander, let them take it. Or, you can ask Gabriel and Gray Porcelain."
Gabriel and Gray Porcelain, being newcomers, naturally dared not overstep their bounds and quietly retreated. Gray Porcelain even waved his hand sharply, saying, "You guys come, you guys come, don't worry about me."
After everyone finished speaking, Laplace immediately looked at the rabbit girl: "See? You still have to choose one yourself. You can choose whatever you want, it's just a name anyway."
"If you really can't think of anything, you can just use 'dream mirror'."
Although the rabbit girl was a little uneasy, she nodded thoughtfully and mentally typed in a word.
A moment later, everyone present received a message at the same time.
The "Rabbit Hole" team, a challenger of the Sandbox Wonderland, extends an invitation to you.
"Join/Reject"
Everyone looked at the rabbit girl, their eyes questioning. She nodded shyly, "I originally wanted to use the Dream Mirror directly, but then I thought, bringing out the Dream Mirror for such a small dungeon would be too... too..."
The rabbit girl paused a bit, unsure of the best words to describe it.
Gray Porcelain chimed in from the side, "That's so tasteless."
Although the rabbit girl found it a bit strange, the overall meaning was similar to what she had thought, so she quickly nodded: "That's right."
"So after thinking about it, I finally chose this name—Rabbit Hole. That's what the new residents of Rabbit Town call my office."
The rabbit girl thought it sounded nice, and everyone approved of the name and knew it belonged to the Dream Mirror organization, so she chose it as the team name.
No one else had any objections to this.
Since the name was left to the bunny girl, she could choose whatever she wanted. Besides, the name wasn't too bad.
"That works too. Next up is the first operation down the rabbit hole, target—Nereid!"
Laplace rarely used such a loud voice to encourage the crowd!
"I hope you all have a safe journey. I'll be waiting for your return from the hunt!"
As she finished speaking, everyone received a notification to enter the level.
Soon, everyone present, except for Laplace and Gabriel, slowly disappeared, having entered the sandbox wonderland.
The disappearance of this group was also noticed by some observant people in the distance.
"The Dream Mirror team has gone in," Lady Rose whispered as she watched the three members of the team disappear into the distance.
“Only three people entered, most likely they went to Nereid,” the Magic Flute said. “It’s pretty much what we guessed, because the two teams from the Crystal Eye Clan went to Nereid and the Earth Angels. They probably got some information from the Crystal Eye Clan’s team, which is why they chose the Nereid checkpoint.”
"So it seems that being an angel on earth is more difficult than being a Nereid?"
The Magic Flute, glancing at the shadowy figure shrouded in illusory mist beside him, asked, "What should we choose? Should we go to Nereid?"
After all, Dream Mirror chose Nereid, most likely because this level is relatively easy.
Miss Gossa, hidden in the shadows, said softly, "There's no need to compete with Dream Mirror. Let's try another level."
Magic Flute muttered to himself, "I never intended to compete with them... but since Nereid is easy, maybe we can go over and leech some points."
A perfect score is ideal, but getting a high score on each level can also be beneficial for the final total score.
However, Miss Gossa shook her head: "No, Dream Mirror's choice of Nereid doesn't necessarily mean it's simple. It could also be that it's more suitable for their team."
Simplicity and suitability are two different things.
Most importantly, she had just noticed the Crystal Eye Clan members of the police tower squad; their expressions after leaving the checkpoint were clearly bewildered.
Although Miss Gossa didn't log off to "predict," she felt that they might not have any important clues on their end.
The magic flute choked, its lips trembling as it asked, "So, which level should we choose now?"
Miss Gossa raised her head and looked at the illusory sand table in mid-air. The levels in the six-layer puzzle flashed before her eyes one by one.
Finally, her gaze settled on a checkpoint.
She murmured the name of the level.
"...Golden Land".
……
The outside world's turmoil was no longer relevant to the Rabbit Hole team.
As they make their choices.
At this moment, Angell, the rabbit girl, and the gray porcelain had entered "Nereid".
Because Nereid can only be challenged by three people, they carefully considered and finally determined the strategy team for this level.
As the leader of the group, the rabbit girl must enter the checkpoint; that goes without saying.
The first challenge is crucial in terms of morale and other aspects. Angell, as a "cheat code" and the most reliable all-around support, cannot afford to falter in the first challenge, so he must also advance.
Finally, when faced with a choice between gray porcelain and Gabriel, they chose gray porcelain.
Unfortunately, Gray Porcelain's "danger sensing" ability is very suitable for fighting bosses, as it can predict some of Nereid's instant-kill abilities.
Therefore, Gabriel had no choice but to suffer the injustice.
The location where they entered the Nereid checkpoint was the abandoned settlement of the Keye mining area that the police tower had mentioned earlier.
Several wooden huts and tattered leather tents were arranged around a few campfires that had been extinguished for who knows how long.
Discarded tools were scattered all over the ground.
Hoes, picks, baskets, and various mine carts and wires.
It's obvious at a glance that this was a temporary residence for miners in the past.
"Our current goal is not to find Nereid, but to mine enough elemental gems so that we can be absolutely certain of success in our battle against Nereid later."
"However, before that, we can first search through this settlement and look for usable tools. If we can find a mining map, that would be even better."
After Angell assigned the tasks, the group split up to search for clues in the settlement.
After the rabbit girl and the gray porcelain left, Angel looked around and went into a semi-enclosed wooden house.
Sending others to look for clues was just an excuse to get rid of them.
He planned to use a "cheat code" to survey the entire mining area from a god-like perspective and find enough elemental gems as quickly as possible.
With this thought in mind, Angel closed the small door of the wooden house, then sat cross-legged on the ground, entering a God's-eye view.
But the next second, Angell suddenly opened his eyes.
Eh--?
Damn it? !
He thinks he just saw something incredible!
