Chapter 401: Chapter 223 Designated Star System! (Two in One)_2 If the opposing team also had five contestants, that would be one thing. But a lone contestant, and only level 30 at that, actually dared to designate our star system? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞 After all, the Sanyang System was a bit distant from both the Solar System and the Yongming Star System. Consequently, the people from the Yongming Star System naturally wouldn’t think that fellow from the Solar System would inexplicably designate the Sanyang System. Since he chose to designate a target, besides designating their Yongming Star System, there was no other possibility. "Is this guy insane? Did the SS-level Disaster we just triggered knock him silly? Has he given up on himself and come to deliver double rewards to us?" Someone in the Yongming Star System squad immediately burst out laughing. They were still unaware of the heavy losses incurred from this SS-level Disaster. Only good news was reported, not bad. How could their superiors let them know about such an embarrassing incident? However, the squad leader vaguely sensed that something wasn’t quite right. The opponent’s actions were so idiotic that it made him suspect this behavior might not stem from genuine stupidity. A possibility flashed through his mind. But then he dismissed it as improbable. How could it be such a coincidence? Among all the people in the Solar System, their squad just happened to run into such a peculiar individual? But the opponent’s behavior was so bizarre. Who else could it be but that person from the survival activity who, despite being of a lower rank, had killed every last one of the second-transition full-level-full-star experts? "Don’t get too excited, everyone. Even if he’s here to hand out freebies, we still have the Sanyang System competitors to deal with. We need to perform at our absolute best." Being a squad leader, he had some sense. He wasn’t fooled by Chen Mo’s outward appearance and, on the contrary, became even more vigilant. He wasn’t the only one who found it strange; the Sanyang System’s squad leader also sensed something out of the ordinary. Chen Mo’s previous performance had made him famous in every star system. After all, a zeroth-transition individual defeating a second-transition full-level-full-star expert was an incredible feat, no matter the context. Naturally, the attention it garnered would be immense. Now that a strange level 30 professional had suddenly emerged from the Solar System, it naturally made people speculate. As the two squad leaders felt a hint of unease regarding Chen Mo’s designation, The Heavenly Path’s Hint continued to sound. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Generating random enemy-slaughter speed-run instance... Generation successful. The current speed-run instance generated is ’Black Wind Village’. Current instance objective: Eradicate Black Wind Village! There are three speed objectives: Speed Objective (1): Kill the Chieftain of Black Wind Village. Speed Objective (2): Kill the three Bosses of Black Wind Village. Speed Objective (3): Achieve the complete annihilation of Black Wind Village. Helpful Task Briefing: First, you all need to understand the situation in Black Wind Village. This stronghold is reportedly the base of a bandit group that frequently robs and plunders the surrounding settlements. You all need to prepare ample weapons and equipment, along with sufficient items and consumables, to ensure your team can maintain peak condition during battle. Regarding the speed objectives’ requirements, it is best if you can quickly achieve the first kill in each of the three distinct phases. For the first speed objective, you must immediately begin searching for and eliminating the Chieftain of Black Wind Village. You can determine his location and movements by gathering intelligence in the area surrounding Black Wind Village, then devise a sound plan to swiftly eliminate him. If you are the first to complete this objective, you will receive additional instance rewards. For the second objective, you need to concentrate your firepower and quickly defeat all three Bosses of Black Wind Village. This will demand greater tactics and coordination. You must ensure your team can support and cooperate effectively during battle to swiftly eliminate your opponents. If you are the first to complete this objective, you will again receive additional instance rewards. For the third objective, you need to completely eradicate Black Wind Village. This will require more time and effort. You must meticulously plan your assault routes and combat strategies to ensure you can quickly defeat all enemies. If you are the first to complete this objective, you will receive the highest instance rewards and collect all wagers from the participating contestants. Finally, I hope all your team members will cooperate closely, give their utmost in the speed-run instance, and continuously optimize your combat strategies and skills to achieve ultimate victory in the shortest possible time. Good luck to all of you!] The bandit extermination instance task commenced. As The Heavenly Path’s Hint concluded, a light flashed in Chen Mo’s eyes, and he found himself in a quaint, ancient town. At a glance, it was clear the town bore the scars of bandit raids. Chen Mo surveyed his surroundings. Most of the buildings in the village were dilapidated, with many houses either burned down or looted bare. The villagers’ faces were etched with sorrow and fear; life here was clearly very difficult. The village was surrounded on all sides by mountains that stretched for countless miles. Without knowing the specific location of the stronghold, relying purely on perception would make it difficult to find quickly. Chen Mo immediately began to search for clues, hoping to find the bandits’ trail and hideout. He approached some villagers whose injuries had not yet healed and inquired, "Hello, I’m an Adventurer. I heard that bandits from Black Wind Village have been causing trouble here, so I’ve come to help. Do you happen to know where Black Wind Village is hidden?" "They come to our village every few days to cause trouble and have even abducted many women from our village. But they come and go mysteriously; we don’t know where they’re from," a villager said, their expression pained.
