Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start-Chapter 105 Shocking! Huge Change in the Ranking! (1/5)_1
As Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue plunged into the Elemental Holy Spring, they felt surges of pure Energy pouring into their bodies.
It was as if every fiber of their being was instantly unblocked, providing an indescribable sense of exhilaration.
The comfort was so profound it made them want to moan uncontrollably.
However, with another person present, they both tried their utmost to suppress the intensity of their sounds.
After 30 difficult seconds of enduring this intense, yet necessarily silent, bliss, The Heavenly Path’s Hint finally chimed in.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations, you have completed the baptism of the Elemental Holy Spring!]
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations, you have completed this instance’s only hidden mission, ’Baptism of the Holy Spring.’ You have gained a reward of Survival Days + (Remaining Days * 10)! Current survival duration: 409 days (+40%).]
Chen Mo completed this on the third day of the instance. As the maximum survival time for this instance was 30 days, and there were 27 days remaining, he directly received a reward of 270 days.
This unexpected harvest was something Chen Mo hadn’t anticipated at all.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: As professionals Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue have completed this instance’s only hidden mission, ’Baptism of the Holy Spring’! A celebratory reward will hereby be issued to all participants in this instance!
All participants in this instance will receive a +10% bonus to their survival day settlement rewards.]
Chen Mo hadn’t even finished reading his own Heavenly Path’s Hint when he received another, even more surprising, one.
He hadn’t expected that completing this unique hidden mission with Yan Yingyue would be announced to everyone within the instance.
And that all of them would even get to enjoy a bonus reward!
Instantly, discussions erupted throughout the entire instance.
"Goodness, I knew that recent earthquake was unusual. Turns out it was those two again."
"What is this Baptism of the Holy Spring anyway? It gives such high rewards? And it was announced to the entire instance?"
"That doesn’t sound like any ordinary hidden mission; the rewards must be amazing. I’ve never heard of a hidden mission in this instance that increases the settlement percentage. If completing this mission gives everyone in the instance such a reward, their own rewards must be even better!"
"Damn! I’m so jealous! Those two are too incredible; they’ve practically scooped up all the benefits in this instance."
"Stop complaining. They just gave us a huge bonus—a 10% increase in survival days at settlement. That’s something you’d normally only get for killing an S-level Special BOSS. You get it for free, and you’re still complaining?"
"Well, that’s true. I hope they do more things like this; then we’d all have it easy."
"In your dreams! It clearly said it’s a unique hidden mission; obviously, it can’t happen a second time."
"You have to admit, those two are truly a cut above everyone else in our year. Killing BOSSes and farming mobs is as easy as drinking water for them, and now they’ve casually completed some unique hidden mission. It’s insane!"
"Some things you just can’t be jealous of. After all, they have a five-star profession!"
"Don’t the scions of the aristocratic families and that alliance of twenty people also have five-star professions? We haven’t seen them do anything this outrageous. It really depends on the individual."
While the unaffiliated players were grumbling about the aristocratic families and the Anti-Aristocratic Alliance, the members of the aristocratic families and the Anti-Aristocratic Alliance, however, looked completely unfazed.
Although they too had been caught off guard by the recent earthquake, they guessed someone must have caused a major disturbance within the instance.
And when they thought of who could cause such a commotion in the instance, Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue were the first to come to mind.
Now, the announcement from The Heavenly Path’s Hint perfectly confirmed their suspicions.
The only thing they hadn’t expected was that Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue’s actions this time would also bring *them* an additional wave of benefits.
That truly surprised them.
「A short while earlier, outside the instance.」
The names of Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue had suddenly flashed with brilliant Golden Light. The teachers watching the screens all showed expressions of disbelief.
"What’s going on? Why are their names reacting like that? I don’t think this has ever happened before," a teacher immediately asked, puzzled.
A staff member from the Academy Alliance quickly checked and reported, "According to the feedback received, it’s not entirely clear, but their leaderboard information underwent a significant change just now. Their count of completed hidden missions increased by one, and their survival duration jumped significantly in an instant."
Upon hearing this, all the teachers looking at the leaderboard exclaimed in astonishment once again.
"What the hell!"
"What’s wrong with this leaderboard?"
"How could this be?"
"Something must have really gone wrong this time."
"Incredible! I come every year, and this is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation."
"How did everyone’s records change simultaneously!?"
Some teachers, who had been absently browsing the Heavenly Trade Market on the Heavenly Path System, also looked up upon hearing the astonished remarks from their colleagues. They too quickly joined the ranks of the incredulous.
All the teachers and Clan Elders stared in astonishment. A +10% settlement time bonus had suddenly appeared across everyone’s survival time display, leaving them utterly amazed.
Such a synchronized 10% increase in settlement time should theoretically mean that many people had simultaneously killed an S-level Special BOSS.
However, team sizes within the instance were capped at a maximum of twenty people.
It would be impossible for everyone to benefit from the kill of a single Special BOSS.
Furthermore, killing an S-level Special BOSS not only increases settlement rewards but also grants an additional 10 days of survival time.
Yet, no such change had occurred to anyone’s individual survival time.
The only shared and universal change was this 10% increase to the final settlement.
Such a bizarre situation naturally left the teachers marveling in astonishment!
It wasn’t just the teachers; the Academy Alliance’s technical department also scrambled to check if there had been an error.
However, regardless of how thoroughly they checked, the result was always the same: there was no issue with the current leaderboard display.
A cloud of doubt now hung over everyone’s minds.
What on earth had happened inside the instance to cause such a dramatic, world-shaking change?
And what did it mean that Chen Mo’s and Yan Yingyue’s names had been shining with Golden Light earlier?
Also, how had the two of them suddenly gained over two hundred extra days of survival time?
According to past experience, wasn’t the maximum reward for a hidden mission only 100 days?
All of this left everyone completely baffled.
The crowd could only hope that some participants would exit the instance soon to shed some light on what had transpired within.
