From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 143 - 122 Recruitment Rules, Teleportation Countdown

Lu Heng picked up a grenade, fiddled with it for a moment, and looked at Su Muyu, asking, "Do you know how to use this?"

Su Muyu nodded and answered, "Yes."

She had often used reconnaissance eagles to throw grenades while taking on bounties, so indeed, she knew how to use them.

Lin Zeyu took over the conversation, teasing, "I checked the company's weapon usage a few days ago. Lady Su, you've drawn over a hundred grenades in the past two months. One might think you're in the arms trade."

Su Muyu shook her head, a bit embarrassed, and said, "I have been using a bit too many, but I've been settling the accounts at the going rate."

Lin Zeyu waved his hand and said, "Use them as you like, no need to settle the accounts. A few thousand bucks worth of stuff isn't worth fussing over."

Lu Heng divided six grenades among them, saying, "Everyone take two each, and we'll coordinate when it's time to use them."

"Okay."

After distributing the grenades, Lin Zeyu also took out some compressed biscuits and water supplies.

"There's this too, all assimilated, so they can be brought into Abyss World. If we end up in a world without a clean water source, these will be crucial."

Lu Heng distributed the compressed biscuits and water, one share per person, to be kept for critical moments.

In fact, Lin Zeyu had initially wanted to prepare a full set of outdoor survival gear.

However, after careful consideration, he realized that many items were unnecessary.

For example, flint is important for wilderness survival, but Superpower Users generally don't need it; a simple fire attribute skill could solve the problem.

Even without flame skills, disassembling a bullet and using its gunpowder would do the trick easily.

Next.

The three began analyzing the potential situations of the upcoming Abyss Battlefield.

"The last time we entered Evil God's Burial Ground, it was danger level 4. Could it be higher this time?" Lin Zeyu asked nervously.

"It's hard to say. The danger level of the Evil God's Burial Ground was rated at 4 because of the boost from the Source Material competition," Lu Heng said, taking a sip from his cup.

After a pause, Lu Heng added, "However, this time we have the team contract bonus, so I estimate the danger level won't be lower than 4."

The existence of the team contract meant that an established team entering the Abyss Battlefield would be given more weight in the combat power rating.

Therefore, the level of the Abyss Battlefield they entered would be higher.

Furthermore, the more members in the team, the higher this rating would be.

If it's a team with poor coordination and lack of trust, entering the Abyss Battlefield could be even more dangerous.

That was also why Lu Heng didn't want Hideyoshi Tsugawa to join the team. Teammates who distrusted each other would only make the Abyss Battlefield more perilous.

Su Muyu thoughtfully asked, "If our team is being summoned, is it possible that other Superpower Users who are summoned are also from a team?"

Lu Heng nodded and replied, "It's very likely, so after entering, we might encounter other Superpower User teams. At this time, those who can get a team contract are certainly not weak, so we should be mentally prepared in advance."

Lin Zeyu waved his hand, speaking in a carefree manner, "It's not like we're fighting other Superpower Users. Our target is the Demons."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case."

Lin Zeyu's eyebrows raised, and he immediately thought of Lei Jinhao.

Lei Jinhao was a Superpower User from Coastal, and he knew the Lin Family.

Even Lin Zeyu, as the young master of the Lin Family, had barely escaped being killed by Lei Jinhao.

"You mean, there might be Traitors?" Lin Zeyu's expression gradually became serious.

Lu Heng smiled again and said, "That's entirely possible. So, once we're in there, we can only trust each other and remain vigilant against other Superpower Users."

"Got it." Both nodded together.

Actually.

Lu Heng knew more secret information.

It was the fifth month of Abyss Descent; at this point, the number of team contracts appearing was very limited.

But that's only through the usual channels.

If it's for Traitors, they have additional means to acquire special items.

In other words, the Traitor Task could possibly reward items such as "team contracts."

This time, going into the Abyss Battlefield, the three of us are a summoned team.

Correspondingly, the chance of the summoned Superpower Users being part of a team is quite high.

That means there could possibly be Traitor teams.

That's right, Traitor teams.

Moreover, there might even be a special Abyss Battlefield mode.

In his past life, Lu Heng had experienced a special battlefield mode, where one of the Challenge Tasks was to "eliminate Traitors."

Currently, the number of Superpower Users who can form teams was low, and Traitors had a chance to be rewarded with team items through their tasks.

So, the likelihood of encountering Traitor teams in this summons was extremely high.

Besides, there might also be a "Source Material competition."

Lu Heng now already had possession of free-state Second Transition "Swordsman" Source Material, with a fusion degree of 37%.

This means, if this time's Abyss Battlefield is centered around him as the primary subject, the chances of a "Source Material competition" would be quite high.

There's also a hidden rule for "team contracts."

In fact.

The team, when being recruited, isn't directly summoned as a whole. Instead, a specific Superpower User within the team is called upon, and other team members follow them into the mission.

That is to say, the type of Abyss Battlefield they would enter is related to the individual who's being recruited.

However, the countdown for recruitment appears simultaneously for all team members and doesn't reveal who the targeted individual is, so it's impossible to conduct a detailed analysis.

Lu Heng could only lay out all the possibilities, to give the other two some mental preparation.

Lin Zeyu, hearing that it might be a "Source Material Battle," hurriedly asked, "Then should I find some Second Transition Class Source Material within these seven days?"

Lu Heng said, "If there's suitable equipment available, you can use it, but it's not necessary to find Source Material that doesn't fit your Class just because of the recruitment."

Lin Zeyu nodded and replied, "Understood. I'll try to find some. If I do find something suitable, I'll ask for your opinion."

Next.

The three began to speculate about which type of Abyss World they might enter.

"Could it be the Evil God's Burial Ground again? I kind of miss Mia and the others."

Su Muyu was still using the Crossbow given to her by Mia, which had already been upgraded with dual Special Effects, and she wanted to show it to Mia.

"It's possible, but the likelihood is small," Lu Heng indeed had heard about being recruited into the same Abyss Battlefield consecutively, but the chance was very slim.

Moreover, the world of the Bansel Clan had been cleared of Evil God Barton; there was no need to summon Superpower Users to battle an Evil God.

Unless some powerful Demon had appeared in that world.

But it hadn't been long since the last incident; those little Dwarfs of the Bansel Clan wouldn't have the misfortune of dealing with another powerful Demon right after defeating Evil God Barton.

Besides, even if the Bansel Clan did encounter a new formidable enemy, the chance that their team of three would be summoned was very slim.

Lin Zeyu recalled the Cyber Beam Gun he still coveted from the previous day and asked, "Is it possible that we're going to enter the Cyber World? Someone was selling Cyber Beam Guns yesterday; surely someone has entered a Cyber Battlefield before."

Lu Heng nodded and said, "That's a possibility, but again, it's a matter of probability."

Thinking of the Cyber Abyss Battlefield.

Lu Heng couldn't help falling into reminiscence because, in his last life, he had once entered a Cyber Abyss Battlefield.

It had been his first encounter with a civilization level higher than that of humans.

The Bansel Clan's warriors were indeed strong, but in terms of civilization level, the Bansel Clan's wasn't particularly lofty.

By contrast, if recruited to enter a Cyber World, the civilization level of that world would most likely be higher than that of humanity.

In the following days.

Lu Heng dedicated his time to practicing swordsmanship and movement technique, aiming to improve his basic skills as much as possible.

Thanks to Lu Heng's reminder, Su Muyu also realized the importance of fundamental movement technique and began practicing alongside him.

Though she was a Support system Superpower User and seldom encountered close combat, if an enemy forced her into melee range, lacking movement technique could easily result in being quickly defeated by a close-combat Demon.

Lin Zeyu split his time between practicing with his guns and searching for various resources, especially a suitable piece of Second Transition Class Source Material.

However, Second Transition Class Source Material was extremely rare, a scarce resource that money couldn't always buy.

Time flew by.

It was the final day of the countdown to the Abyss Battlefield recruitment.

At dinner time, the trio had a proper meal with their families, then saying they needed to step out, they prepared to meet up.

Lu Mingli, hearing his son mention stepping out, realized what was happening and followed him out the door to ask, "Are you being summoned again?"

Lu Heng nodded in confirmation, "Yes, summoned. It's tonight."

Lu Mingli's expression clearly showed his anxiety; after all, his son was about to face the most difficult dangers in the world, and as a father, it was impossible not to worry.

His facial expression was visibly concerned, yet unsure of how to express that worry, he ended up saying, "Don't worry about home, I'll take good care of your mother."

"Okay," Lu Heng nodded, giving a smile.

"Do you have any instructions for me?" Lu Mingli pondered and pondered, unsure of what to say, finally managing to ask this.

"Well... practice with guns whenever you have time. Basics don't factor into Combat Power ratings, so even if you're good at them, it won't increase the chances of being summoned." Lu Heng revealed a hidden rule.

"I've been practicing," Lu Mingli nodded.

"Then I'll go meet up with the other two." Lu Heng gestured towards the elevator.

"Alright, come back early." Lu Mingli expressed his deepest hope.

"I'll come back after the job is done," Lu Heng promised with a nod, then stepped into the elevator.

Lu Mingli watched the elevator doors slowly close, staying rooted in place, not willing to leave.

How he wished that when the elevator doors opened again, his son would return safe and sound.

...

That evening.

The three met in the Training Room at Qionghua Tianglu Lake, readying themselves for the imminent Abyss Battlefield.

Lin Zeyu had prepared three insurance contracts and said, "One for each person. Fill in the beneficiary and sign. I think this will help you feel more at ease."

Su Muyu took a look at the contract, thanked him, and then wrote her mother's name in the beneficiary section before signing and marking her fingerprint.

Lu Heng did the same, writing his mother's name and signing.

Lin Zeyu hesitated at the beneficiary section because he wasn't sure who to write.

Actually, his family had no lack of insurance money; the Lin Family would continue as usual even if he didn't return.

"Write Uncle Huiping. At least you've got to pay back the money for the contract book," Lu Heng made the decision for him.

"Alright," Lin Zeyu nodded, writing his uncle Yu Heping's name in the beneficiary section.
