Chapter 400: Chapter 223 Designated Star System! (Two in One)_1 As Chen Mo entered the Stars Speed Competition Dungeon, the two people at the entrance immediately started discussing his dungeon manual. "His manual has no dungeon records; he’s a complete newbie." "Isn’t it recruitment season? He must be a new student who just enrolled this year." "Are newbies nowadays so bold? Challenging the Stars Speed Competition Dungeon right away? And he’s alone, too. Isn’t he just handing out freebies to other Star Systems?" "Indeed. He’s only a first-transition at Level 30, and he’s alone. Others usually form a team of max-level players before attempting this speed dungeon. This half-baked contestant is jumping right in; talk about a newborn calf not fearing a tiger." Generally, the Stars Speed Competition Dungeon matches players based on their transition tier. First-transition competes against first-transition, and second-transition against second-transition. Under this premise, naturally, the higher the level, the faster the completion speed. The max level for a first-transition is Level 40. Usually, first-transition professionals attempt the Stars Speed Competition Dungeon when they’ve reached this max level, as it gives them a higher chance of winning. Of course, some join when they’re close to Level 40, but it’s rare to see someone ten levels behind join, especially alone. Typically, after securing a spot in the dungeon, people bring several teammates along. After a few exchanges, a person watching the feedback screen of the Stars Speed Competition Dungeon suddenly said, "Hey, this newbie’s name seems familiar." Upon hearing this, the other two immediately looked closer. "Chen Mo? That name does sound familiar. Where have I heard it before?" "That’s him, the one who set the Realm Breakthrough Assessment record!" "Oh, I remember now! And not only that, rumor has it he resurrected most of the people who died during the previous Disaster!" "I heard about that too. They say he even removed the restrictions on those in an Unable-To-Resurrect State, allowing them to be resurrected. His ability is incredibly strong!" "I heard from some higher-ups that the zeroth-transition freak from the recent survival event in the Milky Way was him." "That must be it! Didn’t we hear the sound of the great path for the Level 25 Realm Breakthrough Assessment not long ago? The sound for the Level 30 Realm Breakthrough Assessment hasn’t rung yet, meaning the one who triggered it is still at Level 30. And this Student Chen Mo happens to be Level 30 too. It’s highly likely they’re the same person." "No wonder he dares to challenge the Stars Speed Competition Dungeon alone at this level. With his abilities, Level 30 might just be enough for him." Everyone couldn’t help but look at the feedback screen with anticipation, eager to see if Chen Mo was truly as extraordinary as they imagined. 「...」 Inside the dungeon, Chen Mo appeared in a brightly lit environment. The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded promptly. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have entered the Stars Speed Competition Dungeon. Based on your current professional transition tier, you will be participating in the first-transition professional speed division. Allocating competition dungeon for you...] [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Dungeon allocation complete. The main objective in this Stars Speed Competition Dungeon is speed in eliminating enemies. Currently, each Stars Speed Competition Dungeon can select a maximum of three participating Star Systems, with each Star System allowed a maximum of five participants. The random wager for this Stars Speed Competition Dungeon is experience points and Eternal Coins. Participants are required to bet 50% of the experience points needed for their current level to advance. Those with insufficient experience points will have their level deducted to cover the deficit. For Eternal Coins, the wager is an amount equivalent to half the participant’s current level number, valued in Eternal Gold Coins.] The wager requirements aren’t entirely equal? Then wouldn’t it be more advantageous for those who enter with fewer people and at a lower level? Chen Mo was clearly surprised by the wager details. As Chen Mo marveled at this, he momentarily forgot that this was a speed competition dungeon. Fewer participants and lower levels usually meant an easy win for others. He, however, was an exception, equivalent to a massive army on his own. Since the wager requirement was so low, Chen Mo naturally chose to bet without hesitation. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Wager complete. Matching participants. Please choose whether to specify a particular Star System. Doing so will require a double wager, but rewards will remain at the single-fold rate unless your matched opponent also chose a specified matchup.] So we can specify, interesting. A double wager was nothing to him. Chen Mo directly specified the Yongming Star System. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Specified matchup selection complete. Matching opponents for you, which will include an opponent from the Yongming Star System. Matching duration is one minute. If no opponent is found within the time limit, you may try changing the specified Star System and rematching.] 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢 Less than ten seconds after The Heavenly Path’s Hint concluded, it sounded again. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Matching complete. The three Star Systems matched this time are the Solar System, the Yongming Star System, and the Sanyang System. Solar System: 1 participant, average Level 30. Yongming Star System: 5 participants, average Level 40. Sanyang System: 5 participants, average Level 40. The Solar System participant used the specified Star System matching, so their wager is doubled.] As The Heavenly Path’s Hint ended, the five participants from the Yongming Star System were somewhat stunned. When they were matched with the Solar System, they initially thought it was quite a coincidence. There are many Intragalactic Systems within the Milky Way; both the Solar System and the Yongming Star System are just two tiny specks among them. They hadn’t expected such a coincidental match. It turned out the participant from the Solar System had used the specify function.
