Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Elemental Control·Golden! (2/5)_1 While the outside teachers were puzzled, Chen Mo continued to inspect The Heavenly Path’s Hint. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: As you have completed the baptism of the Elemental Holy Spring, you have gained a special skill - "Elemental Control·Golden".] [Elemental Control·Golden] [Profession]: All Occupations [Level Requirement]: None [Active Effect]: You can transform your attack and skill effects into any elemental attribute! [Passive Effect]: Damage you receive from any elemental attribute is reduced by 90%. "Incredible!" After reading the skill effects, Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue could only use these words to describe it. "Chen Mo, have you seen the skill?" In her excitement, Yan Yingyue turned around and eagerly stretched out both hands. At this moment, all she wanted to do was celebrate her joy with someone else. Caught up in the moment, Chen Mo also turned around. He unconsciously grabbed Yan Yingyue’s hands and waved them excitedly, "Yeah, I didn’t expect to receive such a fantastic golden skill. We hit the jackpot this time, haha!" Their joyful voices echoed across the lake. However, as their excitement subsided, they suddenly realized that the surrounding water had returned to its transparent state from its previous golden sparkle. In an instant, everything was in plain sight. After three seconds of silence... "AHH!!!" Yan Yingyue was the first to react, immediately pulling back her hands to cover her body and turning away with a blush. Chen Mo also turned hurriedly, his face red as he said, "You go ashore and get dressed first. Let me know when you’re ready, then I’ll come up." "Okay~" Yan Yingyue’s face was as radiant as a ripe red apple. She quickly went ashore and put on her gear, then called out, facing away from the lake, "I’m ready." Only then did Chen Mo turn around. Yan Yingyue was standing there shyly, fidgeting with her hands behind her back, her right foot toeing circles in the ground. After Chen Mo was also fully dressed, they tacitly avoided mentioning what had just happened. Though some images certainly lingered in their minds. From her appearance, Yan Yingyue didn’t seem to have such an impressive figure. But in the lake just now, his hurried glance had shown him something that clearly exceeded his expectations. Meanwhile, images of Chen Mo’s muscular chest, eight-pack abs, and lean, V-tapered waist—a perfect physique—kept flashing through Yan Yingyue’s mind. This made it a bit awkward for the two of them to start a conversation. They remained silent for a long while as they walked. It was only after more than an hour that the two gradually returned to normal. Having gained such impressive rewards, the pair started their search for hidden missions and Special BOSSes with even more gusto. However, hard-to-find things remained just as elusive. They had been lucky today, encountering two at once, but that was all. 「The third day quickly came to an end.」 Until the end of the third day, Chen Mo received no contact from anyone. Apparently, an SSS-level Special BOSS wasn’t so easy to find. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The third day’s task has ended. Task completion status is being calculated!] [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Ten people did not meet the third day’s target! Twenty reached twice the target, thirty reached five times the target, and two reached ten times the target!] Things were different now that limited tasks were in play; people were finally failing to meet the target. And not just one, but a whole ten of them. This was mainly because Chen Mo had eliminated all the Flash Elements outside the third-stage area in the first few hours. This ensured a sufficient subsequent spawn of elements for everyone. However, after he and Yan Yingyue met the ten-fold requirement, he slacked off. As a result, many Flash Elements that later landed in the fourth-stage and fifth-stage areas remained unkilled, which in turn significantly reduced the number of subsequently spawning Flash Elements. One hundred people had entered the instance; now, only three days later, just seventy-two remained. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: According to the third day’s ranking performance, the top ten on all lists will receive a survival time reward. First place: 10 days, second place: 5 days, third place: 3 days, fourth to tenth place: 1 day.] [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: As you topped the Daily Task List, Hidden Mission List, Special BOSS List, and Survival Time List, congratulations on receiving a 40-day reward. Your current survival duration is 450 days (+50%).] Since they had completed one unique hidden mission and one normal hidden mission, Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue had both jumped to the top of the Hidden Mission List, becoming joint first. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The activity area will change in 1 hour. Please enter the newly opened fourth-stage area. If you remain in the third-stage area after one hour, you will be kicked out of this instance immediately! Fourth-stage area monster difficulty: Level 10 SS level.] 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The fourth day’s mission is now released!] [Mission requirements: Please kill three Flash Chaosed Element BOSSes within one day. Ten will spawn every hour, and the spawn quantity in the next hour will be double the number of Flash Chaosed Element BOSSes killed in the previous hour.] [If you can complete twice the mission requirement, you will be rewarded with one day of survival time; five times completion will grant three days of survival time; ten times completion will grant five days of survival time!] [Each day, the first person to reach ten-fold completion will receive an additional ’Hidden Reward’.] [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The first batch of Flash Chaosed Element BOSSes will spawn in 10 seconds. Please be ready to seize the opportunity.] The difficulty of completing daily tasks was visibly increasing. However, it didn’t affect Chen Mo much. After all, his current combat power surpassed the instance’s overall challenge level. But ordinary professionals began to complain bitterly. Previously, ten people had been eliminated just by killing ordinary monsters. Today, they had to kill limited-spawn BOSSes. Each person needed to achieve three kills, but the number of BOSSes spawning was small. This greatly increased the difficulty of completing the mission. Many people started feeling pessimistic. At this time, they all remembered Chen Mo’s announcement! To stay in securely, they just needed to help Chen Mo find the Special BOSS he wanted. That way, they could at least coast through three more days of ten-fold mission completion, which alone would earn them a good number of bonus points for their college entrance exams. While everyone still in the instance had their own thoughts. 「Outside the instance, the ten people who were teleported out for not meeting the task completion target all wore expressions of regret.」 They had managed to freeload the +10% settlement days reward from Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue. If they had been able to hold on for a few more days, the rewards they could have obtained would have been at least a tier higher. Instead, they were now teleported out, each with a trash reward. They had just exited the instance, with no time to feel dejected, when staff members immediately called them to the main hall. This was because the teachers were impatient to find out what had caused the sudden, drastic change in the rankings!
