Chapter 309: Scam Warning

Cheng Shuili watched the regional channel for a while before the most exciting moment arrived.

【Now announcing the personal contribution leaderboard for this Instance!】

【Normal-level Instance......】

【Hell-level Instance】

First place Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji (Contribution 89%)

Second place Qianxun (Contribution 23%)

Third place Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai (Contribution 22%)

......】

The system read them out one by one, and after a brief pause the regional channel erupted with a tsunami of exclamations.

"89%! The next few people together don't even have as much as she does; this kind of power is truly terrifying."

"What? 89%? Not some other number, it's 89@%! Are there no other people in this Instance? Did Wu Ya explore it all herself?! Can you all just look at this data? Does this make sense?"

"Can the person upstairs listen to the system properly? Even if a lot of it is nonsense, some of it is useful. It notes that this contribution can be counted repeatedly—if you did it and I did it, it counts as two contributions, OK?"

The only serious reply was this one; everyone else was just marveling at Wu Ya's strength.

"Not to brag... our Wu Ya Dalao is truly unbeatable."

"Wu Ya Dalao is awesome—! (voice cracks)"

"After learning Wu Ya is a girl, I started daydreaming; Wu Ya, can you take me to the next Instance?"

"The person above sounds like they've never done it before, but actually they didn't miss any at all. In fact they even did more, haha."

"Sister, kill me! How did this contribution come about? Did one person do the whole team's work?"

"I saw a few familiar IDs: Xinxue, Wan Yi; these two have been following Wu Ya for a long time, and now they're famous on the list. No way... the more I look, the more envious I get! Why didn't Wu Ya notice me?!"

"The Hell-level personal contribution list only has about twenty people? Not to sound rude, but if one big player brings in seven people, the top ten of two lists would be seventy people—this death rate is absurd! I participated in the normal level; as many went in as came out, the whole thing was easy and pleasant, just a bit of hassle with the coating fee."

I'm elite level; in a ten-person team, only one died, and we later met a few other teams, everyone was especially friendly, and basically no one died.

Just looking at this data it's average, but compared to it, the death rate is too high; Hell-level truly lives up to its name.

But thinking about the Instances Wu Ya always participates in...

The regional channel's messages suddenly stopped scrolling.

Cheng Shuili glanced and continued to focus on the popup before her.

The popup was a reward notice, and three appeared at once, likely all the distributable rewards were given together.

Cheng Shuili didn't rush to look at the items that suddenly appeared before her, but first examined the popup.

【Congratulations, you have received the Hell-level Instance basic reward: Random Material Box x1, Random Card Pack x1, Random Special Equipment Draw Ticket x1!】

Only three items for the basic reward?

And not a single treasure chest, each item only one piece?

Cheng Shuili fell silent; judging the team's Instance rewards solely by reward types is too one‑sided.

But she truly hadn't expected the system could manipulate the quantity.

Only...

Cheng Shuili's gaze fell on the last item.

A Special Equipment Draw Ticket!

This kind of thing is mixed into the basic supplies?

No, Cheng Shuili shook her head; what good thing can everyone have?

She found the physical item and looked at it.

【Random Special Equipment Draw Ticket】

【Description: Standard for Hell-level Instance basic reward! After use, one draw occurs, with a 0.02% chance to obtain a special equipment, and a 99.98% chance to draw the air that has touched special equipment!】

Cheng Shuili: "......"

Air is just air, and they even add a prefix?

What's the difference between giving this 0.02% item and not giving it?

Cheng Shuili set the item aside and continued to check the next popup.

【Congratulations, you have met the Hell-level Instance clearance condition, receiving victory reward: Silver Treasure Box x1!】

【Congratulations, you ranked 1st on this Instance's personal contribution list (Hell-level)! Receiving contribution reward: Gold Treasure Box x1!】

These two rewards make sense.

Cheng Shuili looked at the two boxes, lifted her hand to gently touch the lids, sighed, and planned to wait until everything was distributed before opening them together.

【Now announcing this Instance's team contribution leaderboard!】

【Normal-level Instance......】

【Hell-level Instance】

First place Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji (Contribution 32%)

Second place Qianxun (Contribution 12%)

Third place Throwaway Iron Waste (Contribution 8%)

......】

The system kept reading, but Cheng Shuili stared at the data, puzzled.

Why is this number so low?

She kept thinking, and a new message suddenly appeared in the small group.

【Xinxue】: Is the system being lazy? How did the team's contribution just become a simple average?

Cheng Shuili did a quick sum of several members' contributions, and indeed it matched that number.

She thought to herself, Xinxue truly is daring to arbitrage and is sensitive to numbers.

Cheng Shuili swiped upward twice, and saw a few people mocking the contribution score.

Speaking of it, ginger candy was third, definitely also because during the second peak she discovered the shelter, right?

Luck truly is part of strength; sometimes it's even rarer than actual strength.

The system announced five teams in total, and this was the fastest‑finishing broadcast.

Cheng Shuili shook her head, focusing on the panel that had just popped up before her.

【Congratulations, you are ranked #1 on this Instance team contribution leaderboard (Hell tier)! Reward: Golden treasure chest ×1!】

【Congratulations, you have earned the "Best Player" title for this Instance (Hell tier) zone with the highest contribution! Reward: Special equipment box ×1.】

【Congratulations, you have completed the hidden quest "Explore Research Institute Ruins", receiving the Easter‑egg reward: a selectable item card ×1.】

In total… six pop‑ups!

The rewards should have been fully distributed.

Cheng Shuili thought, intending to examine each reward's detailed effect one by one.

But the system has not stopped announcing yet.

【This Instance is the first team Instance; precisely because of that, there is also a hidden core reward in this Instance!】

Cheng Shuili paused; she had previously thought this core reward was the Easter‑egg reward, but didn't expect—

That means Qi Wan Yi and the others also get the Easter‑egg reward, but this core reward can only be obtained by her as team leader.

What could it be?

【The acquisition mechanism for the core reward is: only one team per Instance can obtain it, and only the team leader can receive it! Once the team qualifies, a phishing prompt will be sent to all members; killing the leader allows a member to replace the leader and claim the core reward!】
