Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 531 - 364: Miscellaneous Matters and Entering the Instance (Part 2)

[Elysium Fruit: This fruit has a sweet and fragrant taste. Consuming it not only provides hydration and a large amount of life-sustaining energy but also rapidly heals moderate and lesser injuries, neutralizes most toxins, and enhances thinking speed and mental focus. It also alleviates severe injuries, making it a multifunctional high-grade food.]

From the description of this fruit, it’s evident that they hold multidimensional value. Not only is it a delicious food, it also abundantly provides hydration and nutrition, serves as a treatment agent, detoxifier, and safe stimulant. It can be said to be comprehensive and practical, truly perfect.

"Master, besides the part you requested, Yi Lin and I collected an extra box. If you need it, you can take it along."

As Wang Zhifan prepared to store these Elysium Fruits into his personal space, the tan-skinned enchanting demon Yali, holding a metal box with both hands, entered the cargo hold. Wang Zhifan looked up, noticing the box in her hands seemed like a drawer, used by them to store the fruits.

"No need, no need, you can keep these for yourselves. For now, I only need this much." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

He immediately declined the maid’s suggestion. After all, one large box of fruits was already plenty for his use, and he could even allocate some to the tower as a reward. Moreover, according to his observations, these fruits were not rare on Gaia Star, so there was no urgency.

"Now, I’ll take you to actually operate the spaceship. Later, I’ll need your help to continue the exploration work."

In the blink of an eye, after storing away all the Elysium Fruits in the big box, Wang Zhifan reached out to take the drawer of fruits that Yali was holding and led her and Yi Lin to the cockpit.

The following time marked the assessment part of the maids’ learning. Wang Zhifan personally guided them to start the Huanyu SIII-class Guard Ship, flying into the atmosphere, and taught them how to use the ship’s information scanning module, allowing them to take turns performing this investigation work independently, except for the firepower system which was not put into actual use.

This was mainly because Wang Zhifan knew that Gaia Star posed no real danger. The various creatures on it, large and small, would leave you alone if not provoked. Even in case of trouble, using the spaceship’s mobility and defense could easily escape. To prevent causing damage to this beautiful ecological planet, the rule of prohibiting weapon use was established. Even he himself had not fired an Electromagnetic Cannon nor a high-energy laser beam here.

"Alright, based on my check, your piloting skills are generally acceptable. The subsequent exploration work is up to you. Remember, there’s no rush; you have plenty of time. You can rest whenever you’re tired, but if you wish to stop the ship and venture out, be cautious, ensuring you can retreat to the ship at any time..."

After giving Yi Lin and Yali instructions and reminders, Wang Zhifan completely handed over the piloting and exploration work of this spaceship to them. As the two maids enthusiastically dove into the new work process, his figure silently vanished from the cockpit.

He chose to activate today’s instance.

[Instance Objective: Survive for one month.]

[Note: The punishment mechanism for this instance has been lifted.]

[Detected that you are an SVIP player, you can select your initial identity from the following options.]

[Scavenger: You clearly know which products on this wasteland are edible and have special value. Some conventional traps cannot escape your eyes.]

[Hunter: Various dangerous monsters are distributed across the wasteland, and you are an expert in hunting them. All damage you deal to monsters is increased by 30%.]

[Esper: The special environment of the wasteland not only produces various monsters but also creates some miracles. As a lucky one, you randomly awaken a C-level superpower, which will fade after leaving the current instance.]

[Mecha Pilot: The wasteland retains some potent technology from a prosperous era, and you are one of its inheritors, acquiring a fully functional C-level combat mecha and the necessary knowledge about it.]

[Trader: Many say wasteland traders are just disguised gangs. This claim is not incorrect. Besides a machine gun and a Wild Bull off-road vehicle, you have 12 armed NPC companions, but be cautious as they might not always remain friendly towards you—such alliances are unpopular in the wasteland.]

[Lone Wolf: If anyone is the most dashing in the wasteland, it’s surely those daring enough to survive alone on this perilous land. Most do not survive a day, but once successful, it nearly proclaims your strength to others.

You gain a once-daily death immunity buff in this instance, which doesn’t stack. Receiving a fatal attack nullifies death and clears the buff.]

[Monster: Rather than oppose various dangers as a human, directly mutating into a wasteland monster might be a better survival strategy, as monsters don’t bicker like humans and are better suited for the wasteland environment.

During the instance, you transform into a C-level monster, integrated within a group of the same type, while unable to use most player abilities and equipment, only reverting to normal human status at the end of the instance.]

At this time, Wang Zhifan entered the instance, finding himself standing in a barren, scorching desert, with the blazing sun overhead. No other living thing was visible, only large biological remains partially buried in yellow sands, indistinguishable in species.

"Players should have been scattered."

He immediately confirmed this; generally, instances without punitive closures are set up this way to prevent player conflicts at the start.

"Which identity should I choose... They all seem quite good..."

Then he carefully examined the identity options displayed before him, feeling a bit indecisive as each had its own merits, making it hard to say which was best, with practical significance for this survival instance.

"Hunter, Esper, Mecha Pilot, Lone Wolf... these feel more suitable for me... I’ll choose Lone Wolf, its effects are the most defined and direct, effective against any enemy."

After contemplating for two seconds, Wang Zhifan made his final decision, locking his identity as a Lone Wolf.

This choice was driven by the overwhelmingly powerful once-daily death immunity, and its clarity and versatility compared to the other options.

For example, the Hunter’s damage increase only works on monsters, ineffective against other enemy types. The Esper’s C-level random superpower is uncertain and might yield a useless ability. Similarly for Mecha Pilot, the strength of a C-level mecha is undefined, potentially a worthless asset to Wang Zhifan.

Upon making his choice, Wang Zhifan keenly felt a special power attaching to him. He immediately opened his interface, glancing at it and noticing new information in the status bar:

[Status: Normal, immune to one death.]

"Next step is figuring out how to survive here for a month... Seems rather simple for me, given I’ve food and water prepared in my personal space, not to mention having just acquired a large box of Elysium Fruits, a fantastic start... Thus, coping with external threats and the environment is the focus."

While pondering, Wang Zhifan’s strong perception subtly focused behind him. Around him, aside from the heat, the sands seemed calm, but should anyone stand behind him, they’d witness his shadow suddenly moving, as if coming to life, slowly "rising" from the sand.
