Chapter 217: – Designated Difficulty

Ge Wudi has been looking forward ever since getting this card!

In the meantime... how many emotional highs and lows, and he powered through them all.

Now, he hasn't said a word, what are these people barking about?

If you disagree, keep it to yourself!

Ge Wudi thinks boldly, but deep down keeps praying that this Instance must not be like a random Instance—absolutely must not publicly reveal the opener's ID!

His reputation is already foul enough; he wouldn't mind it getting worse, but he cares whether too many people will blacklist him.

After all, in this damned place, a single person simply can't survive.

The system paused for a moment, then spoke again; everyone thought it was about to announce the Instance's specifics, but it brought up the rest day instead.

【All players, the monthly rest day is today! Although a player used a Special Dungeon Opening Card, the rest day's date does not change! It is still today!】

【Now we begin announcing the rest day's details!】

【First, today there is no danger! Therefore, this Instance will be drawn from a non‑dangerous Instance! Second, today there is no mileage requirement, but there are rewards for completing mileage tasks, and of course wages will be paid on the rest day! Finally, today there is no road merge, no cards can be used, and the most basic food guarantee is provided for free!】

【At this point, I guess all players are curious: how exactly did that mysterious player who used a Special Dungeon Opening Card use it?】

"Damn system is being cryptic again!"

"What's the difference between the system and the person who opened the Instance? They're both beasts!"

"Stop it, talk about the food guarantee! Why are we talking about useless stuff? What are we actually giving to eat? Relief rations?"

【Because that player used it last night! Since normal Instances can't run at night, it was postponed to today daytime!】

Cheng Shuili frowned, how urgent must this person be?

Using the Instance opening card at midnight?

If the system truly accepts nighttime use, wouldn't all of us still alive have to get up at midnight for a wildly intense Instance battle royale?

And yesterday wasn't even a rest day, right?

There's still a chance of drawing a dangerous Instance.

Fine.

This person can be said to have done all the bad things.

Cheng Shuili forced a smile, she nodded slightly.

Referencing the "Straightforward Straight" incident, she doesn't believe the system's mouth would be so blunt; it has now said everything, the hatred is fully aired, and it clearly has no intention of giving that Instance opener a good outcome!

【First, announce today's minimum food guarantee! Breakfast: none (affected by Instance opening), Lunch: none (affected by Instance opening), Dinner: free plain porridge, one‑click claim, instantly delivered!】

Still blacklisting hatred.

Cheng Shuili let out a light laugh; according to her understanding of the system, revealing that mysterious opener is a sure thing.

The regional channel started cursing again.

"What?? You said what dinner is?"

"Plain porridge! Plain porridge, hahahaha! Isn't that relief rations?! What difference do we have now from the disaster victims of ancient times?"

"Hey, then don't drink it?"

"That won't do! Plain porridge is still porridge! Haven't had a proper meal for almost a month, hahahaha, finally we get something good!"

"Wait, is that the point? The point shouldn't be that the system originally provides breakfast and lunch, but this damned beast who used a Special Dungeon Opening Card messed it up! It's gone!"

"Damn, I don't even dare imagine what lunch is—must be rice, right? The system's standard must include a side dish. Rice and vegetables... my mouth is already watering."

"To the one who opened the Instance... damn..."

…

The insults are too filthy.

Cheng Shuili shut down the regional channel.

Now the system fell silent again.

She glanced; the Instance was still being drawn, perhaps because all dangerous Instances had been excluded, making this draw take unusually long.

The small group chat among a few people also blew up.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: If I find out who opened the Instance, I'll draw a circle and curse them!

【Wan Yi】: Too mild. @Ai Meili, Xiao Ai classmate, sometimes we really need you to show up.

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: Hey, to be honest, that person who opened the Instance, their way of acting always gives me a weird sense of familiarity.

【Ai Meili】: Depends on Lao Da's decision.

This remark pleased Cheng Shuili.

She nodded, about to say something, when she saw a fresh message posted by Xinxue.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: Familiar? What does that mean? Could it be the card Lao Da used? (scared. jpg) (scream. jpg)

Cheng Shuili: "......"

She wants to fire Xinxue!

Even though it was just talk, Cheng Shuili suddenly recalled the matter of Guang Hui and Chen Qing Shan.

Zhu Xuan's side hasn't submitted the data yet, but those two are very anxious; they kept asking Cheng Shuili all day yesterday how one qualifies to join.

Cheng Shuili, annoyed, directly summoned 001 to deal with them.

Opening it now, 001 was chatting quite well with the two, and even prepared a trade contract for them.

Cheng Shuili clicked open and saw the contract was full of overbearing clauses.

Chen Qing Shan had already agreed, while Guang Hui was still hesitating.

She hesitated for a moment, then ultimately didn't disturb those two fools who were engrossed with 001.

As it neared 8:30, this Instance finally finished drawing.

The system, having pretended to be dead for over ten minutes, resumed its idle chatter.

Cheng Shuili waited patiently, only pricking up her ears when she heard something important.

【Important notice: This instance has no death danger! No monsters! No any risk!】

【This ranking is only used to evaluate whether one passes! Each level takes the average; above average is considered sub-instance success, below average is considered instance failure!】

【This instance opens with the highest difficulty as Hell-level, lowest as Normal-level! Difficulties are randomly assigned according to the Wealth Ranking and Mileage Ranking! A few players have their difficulty directly designated by the host! Please all survivors get ready!】

Host?

Designate the difficulty for a few specific players?

Cheng Shuili raised her eyebrows; the effect of this card was greater than she had imagined.

No wonder this mysterious player who refuses to reveal their name would be so eager to use this card.

The regional channel was also discussing this matter.

"What does that mean? What does 'designated' mean? If I, who am participating in a normal instance, am targeted by the host, can I go participate in a Hell-level instance?"

"That's probably what it means. Wow, now everyone can play Werewolf. Everyone should really reflect: is this host someone you know, or someone you've offended? Otherwise… tsk tsk, your little life might not be safe."
