Chapter 153: Purgatory Mode! Be a man of ten!

In the east, night falls.

When most people are still asleep.

No one noticed that the moon in the sky, which was emitting bright silver light, was quietly turning red bit by bit.

Soon, the red moon began to tremble.

Accompanied by a loud explosion.

Only a small number of people traveling at night noticed the unusual movement in the sky.

They looked up, but soon their eyes were filled with extreme fear.

The red moon is broken!

After that loud bang, the moon that had been on the blue planet for hundreds of millions of years shattered into pieces like a mirror!

The lunar rock debris that was blown up began to eject in all directions at extremely high speeds.

In just less than ten minutes, circles of dense star rings formed in the sky.

Each piece of the moon fragment was shining with red light, like a dense network of stars.

At this moment in the west, the sun's rays began to dissipate, the sky became dim and dark, and was finally covered by lunar rock debris.

At the same time, a prompt sound sounded simultaneously across the global area!

[SSS-level copy of "Dungeon & Fighter" has been unlocked! ]

【Opening time: 1 hour later】

[Copy type: Global copy]

[Instance Difficulty: SSS Level]

[Copy restrictions: Cannot carry any potential, cannot carry any props]

[Duration of the copy: Infinite]

[Minimum requirement for clearing the dungeon: All players worldwide must achieve SSS rating! ]

[Dungeon Risk: If you are judged dead in the dungeon, you will be punished with permanent death! ]

[Instance rewards: The instance rewards are all built-in rewards! Please explore on your own! ]

[Background of the copy: In the distant universe, the great will of the primordial light was born from the same origin as the universe. As the master of the entire universe, He stripped off the dark side of his consciousness and formed twelve evil thoughts, which were dispersed into the unfathomable universe. In an accident, the Terrans sensed this extremely powerful breath and injected it into twelve bodies, forming twelve strongest people in the universe. They were called the first generation of Beiyana. They were omniscient and omnipotent, and were fanatically worshipped by the Terrans. The biggest dream of every Terran at that time was to become a being like Beiyana.

However, as the struggle for power continued on Terra, selfishness and endless desires led to the collapse and destruction of the planet. During the collapse, a piece of debris from the planet fell off and drifted in various different dimensions, forming the later Demon Realm. The Demon Realm has no roots, and is more like a moving city, drifting around in the universe. When it stops in the universe, it will connect to other dimensions. When it stops near the planet Arad, the stories of the two dimensions begin to intersect, and your story also begins here...】

[Reminder: This instance has professional factions. Please choose your profession carefully. Once selected, it cannot be changed again! ]

[Reminder: The monsters in this instance are quite difficult, please make sure your weapons are sharp enough and your mind is calm enough! ]

[Reminder: This instance is highly dependent on circulating currencies such as 'gold coins', please ensure that you have enough gold coins at all times! ]

[Reminder: This instance has a fatigue index. If you are too tired, the rewards for tasks and killing monsters will be greatly reduced. Resting or taking corresponding potions can replenish your fatigue. Please allocate your fatigue value reasonably! ]

[Advance notice: Due to the high difficulty of this instance, the gold coin exchange system and the career selection system will be opened first. After one hour, both will be closed simultaneously, and all players around the world will be guided to enter the instance! ]

The thunder-like warning sound woke up almost all the sleeping people.

When everyone finally came to their senses, the streets, countless media, the Red Moon Forum, and every place where people could speak were all in an uproar!

"Geneva! What the hell is this? I don't plan on touching an SSS-level copy... Why can't I force quit this thing?"

"Shit! A dungeon where people get killed! I'm just a C-rank player, there's nothing I can do about it..."

"I woke up to find the moon exploded... I was completely confused. Will there be any tidal changes on our Blue Water Planet?"

"Why are you still researching tidal forces now? You should think about career factions!"

"What are you still thinking about? I've already laid down. Everyone in the world must reach an SSS rating to end the dungeon, otherwise everyone will be trapped in here forever, haha. Fuck you!"

Countless players expressed strong dissatisfaction and protest.

Free admission to SSS-level copies is certainly a good thing, and a huge good thing at that.

But what if we add a restriction?

All players must get SSS rating, otherwise they will never be able to leave the dungeon!

The taste has completely changed.

Ninety-nine percent of players know their own strength.

Take SSS evaluation?

What a fuss!

Do you think I look like an SSS-level person?

Isn't it murder that you sent me into the dungeon?

Of course, protesting and complaining are of no use.

The rules of the Red Moon Dungeon are even stricter than the country's laws.

At least the country's laws will be changed due to fierce protests from the people, but Red Moon will not.

Once the rules are set, they are set.

The players couldn't resist at all.

"Backlash... This must be a backlash! The Red Moon Dungeon is the biggest scam in the world!"

"The end of the world is coming...what should I do..."

"Brothers, there is only one hour left in life! Sing to your heart's content!"

A small number of players' emotions have become out of control.

But more players quickly calmed down and began to seriously understand the professional factions.

In any case, you won't necessarily die immediately after entering a dungeon.

Even if I can never get out, as long as I can survive, maybe I can live a good life in the copy world.

But if I waste time now and fall behind others, I will have to continue to work like a slave in the dungeon in the future.

This is something most players don't want to see.

Human nature is always complicated, and the sounds of despair and roaring lasted only a few minutes.

Attitudes quickly began to change.

Some players even became revelers: "Brothers! Think positively, maybe this is the best time for us to turn things around!"

"Everyone starts from scratch! This dungeon is brand new and has never been touched by anyone! As long as we come up with a good strategy and sell it at a high price, we can live a good life in this dungeon!"

"Fuck, I can't afford a house in real life, but I can't afford one in Arad either. Come on!"

"Can anyone tell me which profession I should choose? I just took a look and there are ten major professions, and each major profession has 4 to 10 minor professions. This... my brain is about to explode."

"Fuck, there's actually a special profession! This creator looks very strong, right? I've definitely locked onto her!"

"The name Dark Warrior is really cool. He must be a king-level character who can transcend darkness. I choose him!"

"Is there any good brother who can take me for a ride? I'll find you after I enter the dungeon. Take me for a week, and I can accompany you for a day ~ all services are included ~ brother, you can play however you want ~"

"Sell, sell, sell! The world is almost ending and you're still selling it here! Do you really think that all we think about every day is aphrodisiac dyes? Can't you make it cheaper?"

The broken red moon in the sky caused almost all human emotions to burst out collectively at this moment.

For a while, all the platforms where people could speak became a mess, with people talking about everything.

At the same time, Xu Mu stood alone on the highest peak of the snow-capped mountain in the Eastern Region, feeling the cold wind blowing towards him.

He had already anticipated that Kanlian might make a big fuss after returning this time.

But I didn't expect that Kanlian... no, or rather, the power of the high-dimensional being behind him was too great.

They actually created an SSS-level copy, and all players around the world must get an SSS rating to pass it.

Obviously, the people behind him also smelled something and had to speed up for fear of causing more trouble.

However, when he heard the name of the copy, Xu Mu's expression became relaxed.

DNF?

He is so familiar with this game.

He registered an account to try out the game as soon as it was launched, and continued to log in continuously until he crossed over to the Blue Water Planet, always maintaining full attendance.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the most familiar games.

The mechanics of those monsters, how to use items, where to get equipment, and the metaphysics of enhancement.

Xu Mu knew everything.

It can be said that you can do it easily with your eyes closed, and you don’t even need to brainstorm.

Xu Mu stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the red star rings in the sky, revealing an intriguing smile.

"You chose this instance to declare war on me. Aren't you seeking your own death?"

Quickly, throw away the unnecessary thoughts in your mind.

Xu Mu urged his mind and opened the advance panel light screen of the DNF copy.

There are two options on it.

One is the Red Moon Coin exchange system for gold coins.

The difficulty of SSS-level copies is too great for the average player. The introduction of this system can also help players temporarily alleviate some of the urgent needs in the early stages and allow them to make a smoother transition.

But the exchange rate is a bit deceptive, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a robbery.

100 Red Moon Coins can only be exchanged for one Arad gold coin.

According to the current exchange rate of Red Moon Coin to real currency.

One Arad gold coin is almost equivalent to two or three thousand yuan.

The price is ridiculous.

"If only I had had this exchange rate when I was moving bricks at the power station." Xu Mu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

But times are different now, even if this ratio is a bit bad.

There are still countless players who are busy choosing to exchange, and some are even willing to sell everything they have, including their houses, just to get more gold coins.

Because the conditions for passing the copy are too harsh.

No one can guarantee that they can come out alive.

So forget about 1:100, even if it’s 1:10000, you’ll have to bite the bullet and change it if you want to survive.

Xu Mu had plenty of Red Moon Coins on hand, but he had no plans to exchange them for the time being.

Let’s first take a look at the differences between the professions and the original game.

Scan the list of occupations.

The roles are exactly the same, only some details have been adjusted.

There are ten major professions in total, including Ghost Swordsman, Sharpshooter, Fighter, Magician, Clergyman, Night Messenger, Guardian, Lancer, Magic Lancer, and special professions.

Among them, titles such as male ghost sword, female ghost sword, male fighter and female fighter in the original game of the previous life have been cancelled.

The profession names are unified, a Ghost Swordsman is a Ghost Swordsman, and regardless of whether the player is a male or female, they are all classified as part of the major profession.

And within the Ghost Swordsman profession, it is divided into ten different job transfer factions.

Sword Soul, Berserker, Asura, Devil May Cry, Blade Shadow, Wandering Samurai, Sword Master, etc. Both male and female players can choose, without gender restrictions.

"In other words, there might be a male wet nurse by then?" Xu Mu couldn't help but imagine a muscular man holding a cross and shouting, 'Follow God's will, victory will eventually belong to us!'

"And, the male manhole cover..."

“I wonder if they’ll yell pighead when they get a fly swatter?”

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Xu Mu began to look for his own role.

I was reminded of this when the copy rules popped up just now.

Once a character is selected, it cannot be changed and will stay with the player for life until the dungeon is cleared or the player dies.

Therefore, the choice of role is particularly important.

Since Xu Mu had played DNF for a very long time in his previous life, he had all the characters on his account. Except for the Creator, who he had not practiced much, he was extremely skilled in all the characters.

But the most skilled ones are none other than the four brothers of Old Ghost Sword, Red, White and Ghost Blind!

"Among these four professions, choose the one that suits you best... Hmm?" Xu Mu had just finished thinking to himself when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small reminder at the bottom of the profession selection panel.

[Purgatory Mode: After checking this option, you will receive the following penalties/rewards——

Penalty: You cannot have the prior qualification to exchange Red Moon Coins for Gold Coins!

Your mission has become ten times more difficult!

The attributes of any monster you encounter are increased tenfold!

Your upgrade experience difficulty increases tenfold!

The effect of your recovery skills is weakened tenfold!

You are prohibited from using any 'resurrection' items!

Reward: From now on, you can choose any of the ten major professions and will no longer be restricted by the 'only profession'

From now on, your explosion rate will increase tenfold!

Your gold coin acquisition amount increases tenfold! 】

[This mode is extremely difficult! The estimated mortality rate is about 99.999973%. Please choose carefully! ] (This mode was not made up by me. It did exist for a while before. It was similar to the hollow Steel Soul mode. When it was launched, it was planned to give a group of inactive players a different survival challenge. However, the punishment was too severe. Once the character died, the character would be deleted. The player group did not respond well, so this mode was deleted later.)

I'm afraid no one would dare to choose this option with extreme rewards and extreme punishments, unless they are some extreme players who don't want to live anymore.

The reason is simple.

No matter how tempting the reward is, you have to be alive to get it.

Especially in this kind of copy where you don’t even know when you can go home, you need to stay in the copy for years.

If even 'Resurrection' is banned, the effect of the 'Recovery' skill is also drastically cut.

For almost all players, this is tantamount to committing suicide.

As for Xu Mu...

Xu Mu almost didn't hesitate.

Check it decisively!

As a human being, of course you have to multiply by ten!

After confirming the selection, the line of small words gradually disappeared from the selection interface.

"It seems that once I choose it, I can't cancel it." Xu Mu thought to himself and locked on the Ghost Swordsman profession.

Since you can switch professions freely in the dungeon, it doesn’t matter what you choose.
