Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start-Chapter 132 - 127 - Twenty Thousand Days! (1/5)_1
After finishing his business, Chen Mo took a moment to perceive his surroundings. There wasn’t much else worth investing in. With the remaining time, he decided to hunt more Special Bosses, hoping to increase the odds of acquiring two SSS-level rewards in the final dungeon calculation. Yan Yingyue didn’t have much money to begin with, so she was even less interested in participating in any trade fair. After bidding farewell to the Five Major Elemental Sprites, the two followed the activation points shown on the map to find BOSSes one by one.
Amidst their busy battles, a day passed in the blink of an eye. In that single day, Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue had slaughtered hundreds of Special Bosses. Neither of them had time for hidden missions. After all, only killing Special Bosses would increase their final settlement percentage and maximize their gains.
As the final countdown ended, The Heavenly Path’s Hint promptly rang out.
"The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations on surviving until the last moment. Your survival duration rewards will be doubled."
"The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Your final survival duration is 2,739 (+690%), a total of 21,638 days!"
"Wow, twenty thousand days!" Chen Mo exclaimed.
"The Heavenly Path’s Hint: This survival instance is Level 10. Under the reward rules, you’ll receive 10 experience points for each day of survival. Your Level exceeds the instance Level by 1, so your experience gain per day is reduced by 1 point. According to your survival duration, you’ve ultimately accumulated 194,742 experience points!"
"The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations, your Level has increased! Current Level: 12!"
"The Heavenly Path’s Hint: ...Current Level: 13!"
Experience: 24,838/101,500.
Although the experience gain was somewhat reduced due to his higher Level, Chen Mo still received nearly 200,000 experience points at once, enough to raise him two full Levels.
The Heavenly Path’s prompts continued...
"The Heavenly Path’s Hint: As your survival duration has reached 2,880 days, and you are the professional with the longest survival duration in this instance, you will receive an SSS-level Gift Pack!"
"The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Based on your survival duration, you have a 52% chance to receive an additional SSS-level reward. The Lucky Roulette is now starting for you. Please spin it yourself!"
After The Heavenly Path’s Hint concluded, a large roulette wheel appeared on a semi-transparent floating window in front of Chen Mo. It indicated that 52% of the wheel was a ’Win’ area, and 48% was a ’Lose’ area. Basically, it was about fifty-fifty. Chen Mo had assumed the Heavenly Dao would automatically determine the outcome. However, since he had to spin it himself, he couldn’t help but feel nervous. His luck now determined whether he would get an entire SSS-level reward. This wasn’t a small matter at all!
While Chen Mo was conflicted and tense, Yan Yingyue beside him didn’t have such worries. Although she had also survived for more than 2,880 days, her survival duration was unfortunately shorter than Chen Mo’s. The SSS-level reward would only be given to the professional with the absolute longest survival duration among those who met the criteria. Yan Yingyue could only receive an SS-level reward. However, she wasn’t in a bad position either. After all, for the chance to obtain an additional SS-level reward, every 180 extra days of survival increased the probability by 1%. Her current survival duration was more than enough to guarantee her a 100% chance of receiving an extra SS-level reward.
Chen Mo stared at the roulette wheel before him, took a deep breath, and clicked ’Start’! The pointer accelerated from slow to fast, eventually spinning so rapidly it became a blur to the naked eye. Only then did a ’Stop’ button appear at the bottom of the wheel. At this speed, any attempt to cheat was impossible. Chen Mo could only click ’Stop’ and leave it to fate.
After he clicked ’Stop,’ the pointer spun for many more rotations, its speed gradually decreasing until it slowed to a crawl, looking as if it might stop at any second. Watching the pointer slowly edge its way out of the 52% ’Win’ area, Chen Mo’s heart leaped into his throat. Seeing the pointer get closer and closer to the boundary of the 52% area, Chen Mo cried out in his mind, Stop already!
Finally, the pointer’s momentum waned, and it was barely moving. Yet, it stubbornly kept inching forward. Three seconds later, it finally stopped. However, when he saw where it had stopped, Chen Mo was flustered.
"What the hell! How is this decided?"
The pointer had stopped precisely on the dividing line between the 52% ’Win’ area and the 48% ’Lose’ area. Even looking closely, it was difficult to tell which side the tip of the pointer favored.
Luckily, The Heavenly Path’s Hint promptly rang out.
"The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Regrettably, you did not receive an additional SSS-level reward this time. However, you will receive an SS-level Gift Pack as compensation!"
Hearing he hadn’t won, Chen Mo initially felt a twinge of regret. But then, to his surprise, there was an SS-level Gift Pack as compensation! This outcome wasn’t too bad after all.
"How did it go? Did you get the second SSS-level reward?" Yan Yingyue asked, looking at Chen Mo, whose expression kept shifting between worry and relief, not quite understanding.
Chen Mo chuckled. "No, but I got an SS-level Gift Pack as compensation, which is pretty good."
While they were speaking, the Heavenly Dao’s countdown ended! With a flash of light, the two of them were teleported out of the instance!
Outside, the rewards for the two had already been prepared. As soon as they stepped out, they saw several staff members already waiting in the instance hall.
"Congratulations! You’ve broken the record and set a new one that can never be surpassed!" As they spoke, they placed two flower wreaths around Chen Mo’s and Yan Yingyue’s necks.
"Please come with us to the hall. We will hold an award ceremony for you."
"Such a grand occasion?" Chen Mo glanced at Yan Yingyue beside him with some surprise.
Yan Yingyue, who had never witnessed such a spectacle, was naturally introverted. She appeared somewhat socially awkward and edged slightly closer to Chen Mo.
The two were then led by the staff to the Academy Alliance Hall. By this time, teachers, parents, and students had already gathered there. All the teachers were smiling at them. The teachers from Seaside Second Middle School, in particular, approached them with joyful expressions.
"You performed exceptionally well this time. After you receive the rewards from the Academy Alliance, our school also has additional rewards prepared for you," Shen Rulong said joyfully, coming over to pat Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue on their shoulders. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
In the crowd, Shen Bingbing and Cai Xuqing, also from Seaside Second Middle School, felt a sense of shared honor, even though they hadn’t had the chance to participate in the Five Spirits Gathering. However, as Shen Bingbing watched Yan Yingyue standing so close to Chen Mo, a complex emotion flickered in her own eyes. She still remembered that before entering the instance, there was a noticeable social distance between Yan Yingyue and Chen Mo. This ’social distance’ refers to how people who aren’t particularly close, even when standing together, instinctively maintain a certain gap between them. But now, Yan Yingyue was practically pressed against Chen Mo—a proximity not usually seen between people who weren’t intimate.
Yue Yang, the overall coordinator for this Academy Alliance’s joint assessment, walked over with a smile and said, "Both of you, please come to the front. For the record you’ve set, we have additional rewards and certificates to present to you."
