Chapter 388: Legendary Construction Ticket

Moreover, whether it's thinking or methods, they far surpass ours. We aren't exactly the trash tier, so thinking about it, it must be because she's too strong!

Ya Jie Wu Di's comment was somewhat expected, and hearing it, other players also found it surprisingly reasonable!

They aren't sure if Wu Ya is strong enough, but they definitely know whether they themselves are weak.

They are not only the strongest squad in their own subregion, but also renowned powerhouses on the Long Guo major region list! Anyone who can get that far ahead of them must be on the list, and indeed among the top!

And the top few on the Long Guo major region ranking...

Only Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji. Pan Shi said firmly, stating his conclusion.

Yes, it could only be Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji!

As soon as this conclusion was voiced, the group chat fell into an eerie silence for a moment, then various sighs rose.

In other words, on our first participation in the global instance, we ran into the Number One of the Long Guo major region?

No wonder… really no wonder! No wonder two people dared to enter the instance! I initially really thought they were deceiving us!

It would only make sense if it were Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji—so confident, so adept. Thinking about it after leaving the instance, without her, whether we could clear the instance would be a question.

If she really is Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji, then we've truly walked into shit luck. If this instance truly had players opposing each other before, then we'd be dead.

We're all from Long Guo; could she really strike against us?

As soon as she said that, she was met with merciless rebuttal from the other teammates.

She wouldn't strike against us? You're overestimating us. That guy is an absolute victor's entourage; no matter who stands before victory, she'd kill them without hesitation.

Yeah yeah, when that skinny man stepped forward and shouted for us to kill her together, her gaze…

Even thinking about it now feels terrifying! Fortunately we were lucky.

The fact that Wu Ya is Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji was realized only by this Long Guo squad.

Players can only see their own major region's ranking, so although players from other major regions were stunned by Cheng Shuili's eye-catching actions, they couldn't immediately equate her with the Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji announced globally; at most they'd sigh: 'Long Guo truly hides tigers and dragons.'

Cheng Shuili herself wasn't interested in their opinions; upon returning to the vehicle, she first went to harass Su Rui, who was driving in the cockpit.

Any problems?

This was Cheng Shuili asking, while Su Rui merely lifted her head, glanced, then pointed with her chin at the outside.

Cheng Shuili followed her chin's direction; outside, a vehicle was parked, and scattered along the road were many supplies.

Did the road merge?

Yes, I killed it.

Su Rui answered flatly, as easily as stepping on an ant by the roadside.

And for Cheng Shuili…

She stared at the outside vehicle, thinking; this was the first time such a situation had occurred.

She herself wasn't in the vehicle, yet the road could still merge?

If Su Rui also wasn't in the vehicle, or if Su Rui lost, who would own the vehicle?

Cheng Shuili's worry is not unfounded, but she knows little about the situation; aside from remembering this occurring situation, there's nothing else she can do.

Su Rui seemed to suddenly realize she hadn't left, asking: 'What happened in the instance?'

Cheng Shuili shook her head and returned to the cockpit.

The instance's end time isn't uniform; Cheng Shuili thought that for an instance of that difficulty, her exit speed wasn't slow either, so why have so many people already come out?

Cheng Shuili glanced at a few messages and realized something seemed off.

This instance is so interesting! It's like Werewolf, and there's even a chance to revive; if future instances were like this, that'd be great.

Yeah yeah, if all instances were like this! No monsters, only human vs. human! Really fun!

Frankly, this instance was truly easy and pleasant; if future instances were of this spec, I'd really look forward to them.

What?

Werewolf? Revival? No monsters?

Why are all the factions guests? What is the Faceless Joker?

Cheng Shuili felt betrayed!

But she hadn't said anything yet when a message like a lament came first.

【Hao Hao】: Boss! You don't know! Moyu Miji's participants are all in subregion instances; just now we were discussing this instance in the group chat, and when their message came out, I realized something was off!

【Hao Hao】: Their instance actually has no Faceless Joker, nor those terrifying attendants and guests! It's just a pure Werewolf mode! All players have different factions, and those voted out are merely sent out, losing a bit of Game Coin only! This is completely different from our instance!

【Hao Hao】: We almost died in there, and they're actually playing a tabletop game?! (Angry smash table. jpg)

Cheng Shuili finished reading the message, then silently lifted her head.

She only doubted the system for a moment, then realized things weren't simple.

This damned place has always been effort equals reward; with such high difficulty, the rewards must be unexpectedly rich, right?

Cheng Shuili had already begun to anticipate.

After resting a moment on the sofa, the instance seemed to officially end, and the system's broadcast sounded in the ears of all surviving players.

【Oh dear, it seems this instance brought everyone quite a few… surprises?】

Zhi Nu's voice carried its usual teasing.

【Especially some players who made special effort, truly making the system look at them anew~!】

Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes; this sounded like a veiled remark, and she had a strange chill down her back, as if the speaker were talking about her.

【Furthermore, since this instance is the first global instance, as a reward for the brave! Participating in the global instance will grant an extra reward!】

Zhi Nu's tone shifted, becoming uplifted!

【Of course, the higher the difficulty, the richer the reward! This is an eternal truth~ Now, let's see which lucky ones have earned the system's favor?】

Before Cheng Shuili, a semi-transparent system panel suddenly popped up, golden light flashing on its border, highlighting its unusual content.

【Player: Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】

【Instance Completion: 100%】

【Instance Evaluation: Exceptional! You not only saw through the surface, but also reached the core! The Faceless Jester changed his view because of you, and the boundary between illusion and reality wavered because of you!】

【Base Reward: Game Coin x5000, Rare Material Box x1, Special Equipment Box x1, Free Attribute Points x5】

Cheng Shuili finished reading the rewards and immediately heard the Weaver Girl's voice rise again.

【Now everyone should be looking at their own Instance evaluation, right? Different evaluations grant different base rewards! Moreover, for players who participated in the server‑wide Instance, we have prepared an extra reward for the brave! Especially for those who tackled the highest‑difficulty Instance and achieved dazzling results!】

【Finally, based on the performance and outcomes of the server‑wide Instance players, we compiled a contribution leaderboard for this Instance, and the one in first place is—】

The Weaver Girl elongated her voice, and the players' breaths were involuntarily held.

Although many had already guessed the answer, when that name was spoken it still caused a massive stir across the server channel.

【Long Guo Region, Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji! Congratulations!】

【Her contribution is a fault‑line lead! Let's cheer for her!】

The channels of other regions, after a brief silence, were instantly flooded with exclamations and discussions in various languages.

"WTF? Again him? That Wu Ya from the first‑clear announcement?"

"What kind of monster came out of the Long Guo region..."

"Fault‑line first in contribution? What exactly did he do in the Instance?"

And the Long Guo channel literally blew up.

"Whoa! First place in the first server‑wide Instance, and again a Long Guo player!"

"Fault‑line first! Makes our Long Guo region proud!"

"Hold on, the Weaver Girl just said they tackled the highest‑difficulty Instance? Could the difficulty of the Instances we joined be different?"

"Damn! Now that you mention it I remember! I was just in the group chatting about the Instance, they were talking about Werewolf and having fun, and I almost got my guts ripped out by a servant! So we weren't in the same Instance after all?"

"It's the difference between server‑wide Instance and regional Instance, right? According to the Weaver Girl, regional Instances don't count toward this leaderboard, meaning participants miss out on a reward!"

"Is this about rewards or not? Didn't you read what the person upstairs said? It's a matter of life or death!"

In Cheng Shuili's region… Black Feather took over the whole thing, and the regional channel flooded with a message:

"Congratulations to Black Feather leader Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji for seizing the top spot on the server‑wide Instance contribution leaderboard. Long Guo number one, well deserved!"

At first, only Black Feather members were systematically spamming the system channel. But soon, perhaps due to the impact of the news itself, perhaps because the glory of "fault‑line first" ignited the passion of players in the same region, more and more by‑standers voluntarily joined in.

"Awesome! Let's spam another wave!"

"Even though it's not Black Feather's, Number One is in our region, we share the honor!"

"Long Guo number one, well deserved! 1"

"Basking in the big boss's good fortune!"

The channel was quickly covered by uniform congratulatory messages, forming a rolling torrent.

It was not merely celebration, but a proclamation, announcing to this region—and to anyone and any system that could glimpse the message—the rise of a strong figure and the presence of an emerging power.

Cheng Shuili leaned on the sofa inside the vehicle, calmly watching the rapidly scrolling messages in the channel.

She felt little about such hollow fame, yet she knew that the title "Number One" and the ensuing attention were themselves intangible resources and deterrents.

Both Black Feather and she need this; it can attract more capable people and cause unnecessary trouble to shy away.

What Cheng Shuili cared about more was the extra reward for the brave mentioned by the Weaver Girl!

She was wondering when the system would issue this part of the reward when the system's prompt sounded again, and a panel popped up before her eyes.

This reward page was more dazzling than the previous announcement, its border entwined with dark‑gold thorns and crow‑feather patterns.

It seemed to be generated individually based on the player's ID.

Cheng Shuili checked the text:

【Based on your outstanding contribution and "Exceptional" evaluation in the "Welcome to Nightmare Island" Instance, you receive an exclusive extra reward: Legendary Building Voucher (Unique)】

Only one item, but a unique artifact!

Cheng Shuili immediately examined the description of this item.

【Legendary Building Voucher (Unique)】

【Description: One‑time item; after use you may select a territory to open as a free land! The owner can build a commercial district and set exclusive rules. Once the land is opened, it will be accessible to all server players and all NPCs, with entry permission granted after meeting certain requirements! It will become a new safe zone and trade hub, and the landowner enjoys the highest permissions such as tax setting, entry permission configuration, and space expansion.】

【Note: Unique item, only one exists across the server. The cornerstone of power has been laid for you; whether you build a towering spire or invite disaster is up to your choice.】

"Safe zone? Trade hub?"

Cheng Shuili whispered the keywords softly, her fingertips turning slightly pale from the pressure.

The description is still too formal; in plain words, isn't this just a player‑built brand‑new Shou Ren Xiao Zhen?! And after creation, once the threshold is set, all players and NPCs can arrive! Even the wolf‑clan's orcs can come!

"A… brand‑new Shou Ren Xiao Zhen?"

Cheng Shuili muttered to herself; of course she understood its value.

With it, Black Feather could truly become an ever‑sailing ark!

This is not just a reward; it's also an opportunity, a chance to forge the foundation of one's own kingdom!

Her heart hammered powerfully in her chest, the rush of blood roaring in her ears.

Cheng Shuili took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay calm.

The more moments like this, the more a clear mind is needed.

The benefits of using it are huge, but the risks are also considerable.

Now every trade zone in the entire Highway World is under Rat King's control. This mysterious and powerful entity weaves an information‑and‑resource network covering the whole Highway World through trade points everywhere; its influence is deeply rooted and incalculable.

This Legendary Building Voucher challenges Rat King's monopoly.

Once she establishes a new safe zone and trade hub, she will tear a hole in Rat King's territory and declare herself a ruler.

To Rat King and the rat‑clan orcs, this is probably no different from a declaration of war, right?

What will it do then?

Tacit approval? Suppression? Or... direct destruction?

Cheng Shuili had no doubt that the Rat King possessed such power.

An existence capable of controlling all trade zones—its methods and strength are absolutely not something she can currently confront head-on.
