But he couldn't be happy.
"So, am I really just a special case?" Jiang Lu sighed, "Is there no other way to improve favorability besides completing the quota?"
The messenger raised his head upon hearing this, his eyes full of contempt and sarcasm.
"Haha... You should feel lucky to have such qualifications. At least you have a chance to complete the quota, unlike them."
Jiang Lu's face became a little gloomy.
There is an important mechanism in multiplayer spirit realms.
That is, the more exorcists survive after the strategy is completed, the richer the reward will be. Conversely, the reward will decrease according to the number of failures.
This is also the reason why even though Jiang Lu left a bad impression on the other three people at the beginning, they did not abandon him or isolate him.
In an S-level spirit realm, sticking together is the wisest choice. Creating internal strife in the spirit realm is the most taboo and low-level mistake for an exorcist.
"ok, ok, I got it."
Jiang Lu pondered over it, and the more he looked at the messenger, the more annoyed he became.
"Well..."
The messenger whimpered and went back to his work.
Even though he hadn't exchanged information with Ghost-Faced Fox and the others, Jiang Lu could still guess from the few words the messenger inadvertently revealed that Ghost-Faced Fox's speculation was most likely correct.
From the very beginning, Black Tower had no intention of allowing them to complete their redemption smoothly!
If it weren't for his special situation and his initial favorability level of over 60, he would be facing the same fate as everyone else.
The bad news is that even if you have a chance to complete the target, if you delay it too long and others die, you may not be able to complete the task successfully.
Even if you can successfully complete the game, if the reward is reduced due to the death of others, then it is unknown whether you can get the mysterious lucky bag.
In order to ensure that the rewards are proportional to the efforts, it is necessary to obtain the best evaluation or some hidden achievements.
The most basic condition is that everyone survives!
So his time is very tight.
Taking the Heavy Artillery's favorability as the standard, there are only five days left including today. At the end of the fifth day, the Heavy Artillery's favorability will be reset to zero, which probably means a bad ending.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu asked tentatively:
“What can I get after successfully completing the indicators?”
The messenger's eyes turned cold, and he gasped, "Get? Supervisor, you are too greedy. Did you lie to me just now?"
Isn't having me enough?
Jiang Lu clearly saw these words written on her face.
But it doesn’t matter. What you think has nothing to do with me, and accepting it doesn’t mean I agree.
"Of course I'm not lying to you." Jiang Lu shook his head: "I just feel that as a supervisor, I am not worthy of you. I will work hard, but the premise is that I need to see hope, enough hope that I can stand with you openly one day, instead of having to consider the eyes of others like now."
The Courier was stunned.
It's not a momentary impulse, but a sense of responsibility...
It's really interesting...
"You might... be able to gain access to the upper levels."
"what?"
Perhaps it was Jiang Lu's dull look that forced the messenger to repeat this obviously unruly promise. She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed:
"If you really want to continue to serve me, I will grant you the right to enter the upper level! Don't make me say it a third time!"
......
There was an indelible gloom on the faces of the three ghost-faced foxes.
After their control experiment, with all conditions remaining almost unchanged, no one succeeded in completing the redemption today.
Ghost-faced Fox and Liu Dao were still one step away from success and time was running out.
The heavy artillery was even worse.
Not only did the prisoner refuse to cooperate, he also broke free from his restraints when he wasn't paying attention and attempted to attack him.
The prisoner was so incredibly strong that even the heavy artillery with a physical strength of 24 points couldn't suppress him immediately.
It took half an hour just to fight and regain control of him, and the result was predictable.
"Is it so difficult to just drop to 49 points..."
The ghost-faced fox felt a deep malice and was helpless: "If it drops to more than 30 or 20, then maybe we won't have to wait until the favorability is cleared or the seven days are over before we are killed by the prisoners, right?"
"But we can't just sit there and do nothing..." Heavy Artillery said with a stern face.
"Of course I won't do nothing. I'm just complaining about the obstruction mechanism this time. It's really too perverted..." The ghost-faced fox sighed.
At this moment, the three people who were about to return to the Supervisor's Hall suddenly saw something.
"Is that... a messenger?" Liu Dao narrowed his eyes.
Heavy Artillery looked puzzled: "Why is she here?"
"Not good." Ghost-faced Fox frowned, and a bad guess came to his mind: "Brother Jiang may be in danger!"
The messenger seemed to see them at this time.
Looking at the three people walking towards him quickly, the messenger lowered his head slightly, and licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue out of inexplicable nervousness.
"Mr. Messenger."
The ghost-faced fox came closer and asked cautiously, "Why are you here?"
"I can go anywhere in the Black Tower. Do I need to inform you in advance?" The messenger ignored the three people.
"Uh..." The ghost-faced fox suddenly felt tremendous pressure, as if the messenger had a deep prejudice against them.
Liu Dao lowered his eyes, as if thinking about something.
Although it was a little far-fetched, she still had a hunch.
The messenger's current behavior seemed to be a bit angry and embarrassed after something was discovered.
Impossible... Liu Dao quickly denied this conjecture.
No matter how you think about it, it must be an illusion.
The two men did not have such a subtle ability of empathy. They just felt that because two days had passed and they had not made any progress, the other party's favorability had decreased and they were dissatisfied with them.
"Mr. Messenger, please don't misunderstand me. We just want to ask if you have seen the supervisor who is traveling with us?"
The ghost-faced fox asked with an apologetic smile.
"He?" The messenger showed a hint of hesitation: "Should he be... in the room? I'm not sure."
"Please be more diligent." The messenger changed the subject and warned with contempt: "The Black Tower... does not need useless supervisors."
No need for useless regulators...
The expressions of the three people changed.
Even supervisors can be discarded at any time like prisoners?
It turns out that the saying “It doesn’t matter who enters heaven, as long as they get into it” also applies to us.
If what would happen if the target was not met after the countdown was still speculation, now they all had the same answer in their minds almost at the same time.
When I came back to my senses, the messenger had disappeared into thin air.
Without saying a word, the ghost-faced fox ran to Jiang Lu's closed door in two steps.
“Brother Jiang…Brother Jiang!”
After shouting several times, a somewhat unnatural voice came from behind the door: "Huh? Ah... this... why are you back so early?"
"Are you okay?" Heavy Artillery asked in a muffled voice.
"No...it's okay..."
"It's okay, come out quickly!"
Jiang Lu, who was just lying on the bed, hurriedly put on his clothes and said, "It will be ready soon."
After a series of collisions and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, Jiang Lu finally opened the door.
"Are you really okay?" Liu Dao poked his head out from behind the tall heavy artillery and asked suspiciously.
"It's okay. What can happen to me?" Jiang Lu leaned against the door frame, not caring at all that his nose was still bleeding after he rolled off the bed, and smiled confidently:
“Everything is under control!”
Chapter 15 The old ones leave, the new ones stay (Please read on!!!)
At least Jiang Lu’s sacrifice of his body was not in vain.
He did master quite a few secrets related to the spiritual realm.
So he was able to handle the strangeness of the three people with ease.
"Anyway, this is what happened. The key to this spiritual realm seems to be the charm value. In other words, only people with high charm values can increase favorability. Moreover, this operation is very difficult and ordinary people can't do it. Even I have put in some effort."
Jiang Lu concealed the part about the deal he made with the messenger and only revealed the results of the survey on favorability.
This news undoubtedly made the other three people despair.
"Is there no other way except to complete the redemption?" Liu Dao murmured.
Ghost Face Fox was disappointed, but still a little confused: "Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a setting in the Spirit Realm. There is no precedent for this."
"What do you mean?" As a newbie entering the Spirit Realm for the second time, Jiang Lu was very interested in this kind of experience.
"In almost all spirit realms, the key to conquering them lies within them. You can say that different attributes will trigger different events, or produce different effects on the same thing, but whether or not you can conquer them depends on the attributes..."
The ghost-faced fox paused for a moment and shook his head: "At least I have never heard of such an example. If it is really set up like this, then it is tantamount to a dimensionality reduction attack. Exorcists who enter the spirit realm will definitely fail.
If that's the case, then this is actually no different from a plot kill, but you are not bound by this condition, and this is what I think is wrong."
"So..." Jiang Lu said seriously, "Are you saying that there is a way out that we haven't discovered yet?"
