Chapter 282: Team Instance Initiated

Equipment… there is, but it's just her cloak, which could never be traded.

Items… also exist; the Undying Totem can barely be counted as one, right?

But for items that can be used for trading, those with this function…

Cheng Shuili frowned.

Not to mention the other side, Cheng Shuili hasn't seen it either.

Does this damned place really have such a thing?

Cheng Shuili was speechless, so she cleanly took out several Vehicle Cards.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: If it seems suitable, agree to the trade; if not, forget it.

There will always be a time to receive it again.

After sending out this message, Cheng Shuili didn't even look at the replies and closed the chat window.

A moment later, 001 suddenly said the trade was completed.

It seems the other party still agreed.

Cheng Shuili pinched the card, thought for a moment, and decided to use it after exiting the Instance tomorrow.

The Abyssal Ring definitely needs upgrading, because it's not just a spatial ring; its greatest function is "insight".

Cheng Shuili looks forward to the ring after it's upgraded.

During dinner, Cheng Shuili finally ate the golden core dropped by the egg; after agility +4, she reached 65 points.

Can't say much about other things, but for escaping it definitely gave Cheng Shuili a lot more confidence.

A night of good sleep.

At eight o'clock on the sixth day, the system broadcast on time.

【Survivors! Hello everyone! Today is a momentous day of creation, the start of a brand‑new journey, a fresh beginning where challenge and opportunity coexist!】

The regional channel immediately opened with mocking.

"Talking nonsense again."

"Can you quickly announce the specific rules of the team Instance?"

"Just give the Instance details directly is fine!"

Yeah, yeah.

Cheng Shuili thought the same.

But no matter what they think, the system will not cancel the nonsense segment.

After waiting a few minutes, the system finally got to the main content.

【This Instance is a team Instance! The registration page will open at 8:20. All squads have the squad leader register the team roster; members need not register, only confirm the leader's invitation. Details: For all teams, the leader registers squad members, which is a one‑way confirmation. After registration, a confirmation invitation is sent to every squad member; upon confirmation it becomes a two‑way confirmation. If two‑way confirmation succeeds within ten minutes, the squad is formed!】

This process…

…is also fairly simple.

Cheng Shuili first chatted with a few people in the small group, then continued watching the regional channel.

"Huh? Still need member confirmation?"

"If we don't confirm, can it be right? If confirmation isn't needed, I'd definitely use Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji! I'd get a few big shots to fill it, wouldn't that make me super happy? Would the system let me be happy?"

"?!, That's so logical."

"Two‑way confirmation reduces the chance of problems; members know who their leader is, and the leader knows who they're bringing, which is pretty good."

"I don't know why, but I always feel some issues might arise…"

Regardless of issues, the system kept going.

【This team Instance requires 2–10 participants; all players form their own teams. If the required number isn't met, the Instance is automatically deemed failed! Failure penalty: randomly deduct ten types of resources; if a player lacks resources, an equivalent amount of Game Coin is deducted! If Game Coin is also insufficient, the player is erased.】

"??? What are you doing?"

"Why not deduct into negative numbers? Why?!!"

"I'm dying of laughter, this knows that someone barefoot isn't afraid of shoes, so they don't fear Game Coin being negative at all."

"There was a negative one before who kept bragging in the regional channel; is he bragging now?"

"Then just keep ten kinds of resources, and give the rest to others!"

"Whoever you give to, you just give? Who isn't joining the Instance?"

"Yeah yeah haha."

This time it really is unsolvable.

But Cheng Shuili has never cared about what the failure penalty is, and she doesn't care this time either.

She not only won't fail, she'll also achieve the best result.

【This Instance is an eight‑hour Instance; please bring enough food!】

Cheng Shuili: "???"

Is it a bit late to mention this now?

It's about to start right away!

She opened the group chat and saw that others were indeed complaining about it.

Surprisingly, Qi Wan Yi still found the time to comfort them.

【Wan Yi】: "Don't worry, everyone gets a bento."

That line felt so reassuring that Cheng Shuili couldn't help but give a thumbs‑up.

【Important Notice: This Instance carries a death risk! Proceed with caution!】

【The highest level allowed for this Instance is Hell tier, the lowest is Normal tier! Each difficulty is randomly assigned based on the rank of the person highest on the team's Wealth and Mileage Rankings! Survivors, please be prepared!】

【Instance Details: Rotting Rain Shelter】

【Description: Your team has been teleported to a deserted industrial zone, grayish-yellow thick fog shrouds the sky, the air filled with a pungent sulfur smell. Soon, the sky begins to pour down highly corrosive acid rain, the ground hisses, buildings gradually corrode. You must quickly find shelter and obtain sufficient anti-corrosion supplies. However, resources are limited, other teams are also fighting for survival……】

The name of the Instance has also changed.

Cheng Shuili shook her head and focused her attention on the description.

This Instance is quite fitting; the highway disaster is acid rain, and the Instance is also an acid rain environment.

Moreover, are there other players?

No wonder this Instance's penalty is deducting supplies, yet it indicates there is mortal danger.

Before, Cheng Shuili still thought it was talking about a shortage of supplies, but she never expected that inside a single Instance there would be several teams of players...

This is meant to make them kill each other.

Before, the system would stop here, but this time it actually announced the Instance goal in advance.

【Instance Goal: 1. Survive eight hours in the acid rain environment. 2. Obtain at least 10 units of "anti-corrosion coating" or equivalent supplies. 3. (Optional) Explore the ruins of the mysterious research institute at the center of the industrial zone.】

【Notice: The acid rain will continue to fall, its corrosive strength will gradually increase over time. The rain will cause continuous damage to players, equipment, weapons, etc., exposed to the outside. Please act with caution!】

【8:20 has arrived, team registration function is now officially open!】

As the system prompt sounded, a semi-transparent registration interface popped up before Cheng Shuili. She quickly entered the names of Qi Wan Yi, Ailin, Xinxue, and the four of them.

After clicking confirm, a prompt box immediately popped up before her.

【One-way confirmation completed, waiting for members to accept the invitation, current progress...】

Below, the IDs of the several people Cheng Shuili selected can clearly show who has not yet confirmed.

Xinxue and Liang Shan Bo Zhu Ying Lai were quick; their confirmation came instantly upon sending.

The two of them were still chatting in the small group.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: I'm about to meet the boss, I'm so nervous!

【Liang Shan Bo Zhu Ying Lai】: Although I've already met the boss, I'm still nervous!
