Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 745 - 364: Angelic Nest, Conditions for obtaining SSS rating _3
"However, bear in mind that asking for a hint will consume the only opportunity you’re given for a solution."]
"Do you wish to hear the ’librarian’s’ hint?"
Did he even need to think twice?
Lin Xun was swift to press ’Yes.’
[The ’librarian’ grins, leans closer to your ear and whispers, "What’s the name of this game?"]
Of course, the game is called "Book of Salvation."
"What the heck? To get the SSS rating, do we need to actually save the world?"
"That’s so difficult it’s comparable to not having said anything at all."
"Hold on!"
Lin Xun remembered during his time in the Blood Sun World, he had completed a full map exploration, completed all hidden missions, and defeated the final boss to achieve the SSS rating without accomplishing any world-saving feat.
Was it possible to defeat the ’Profane Blood Sun’ with just a triple difficulty apostle? Absolutely not.
There were unexplored areas and incomplete storylines in the Omniscient World. Apart from the ’Direct View Association’ that collapsed before exploration, he was supposed to visit the Temple of Knowledge and confront a servant of Knowledge God once.
But back then, Lin Xun hadn’t grasped the soul mystery of ’undying fire,’ so in order to survive, he could only choose to end the Chapter.
Therefore, it was understandable that Omniscient World didn’t achieve complete exploration and didn’t receive the SSS rating.
Whereas in Evil God World, he had thoroughly explored the entire map without missing anything. He even got the General to the third phase and succeeded in achieving the impossible kill task with the help of Dance God.
Logically, the Evil God World should have gotten the SSS interpretation rating like the Blood Sun World, but in reality, he only received a double S rating.
"If saving the world is the prerequisite for obtaining SSS, then the Blood Sun World clearly doesn’t meet the standard, yet it still received an SSS rating."
"If full exploration of the Blood Sun World was the condition for an SSS rating, then there’s no way the Evil God World would have just the SS rating."
After pondering for a while, Lin Xun felt like he was just a step away from the truth.
If he could get another SSS rating for comparison, he might be able to find the correct answer.
[Seeing your comprehension, the ’librarian’ finally gets to the point. He tells you that this test is extremely difficult, unprecedented in its difficulty, even more so than ’the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons’...]
Lin Xun’s spirit is lifted.
He knows the higher the difficulty. the greater the returns.
[The ’librarian’ continues to introduce the test to you. The test will determine the difficulty level and rewards based on the oath chosen by the apostle.]
[The challenge this time is the most massive, bloodiest, and cruelest war—the war between the ’Desire Wet Nurse’ and ’Initial Firefly’ at the border of the Divine Kingdom.]
[There is an innumerable amount of ’feathered’ and ’mutated’ beings, it is a war of gods and faith, with no surrender or captivity, only death or survival.]
[As a follower of the ’Initial Firefly,’ naturally, your role is to assist the mutants against the feathered.]
[The ’Initial Firefly’ faction always remains at a significant disadvantage in the battlefield, thus, completing the challenge is an impossible task.]
[If you agree to the challenge, he will transport you to the front lines of the war, and only by achieving a small-scale victory will you pass the test.]
[The ’librarian’ winks at you and assures you that the test won’t hinder your journey to save the world. So, have you decided to take the test?]
A thought flashes across Lin Xun’s mind.
"Holy crap, can the game master also help players exploit bugs?!"
The game master is the librarian standing in front of him.
All those emboldened statements about incredibly difficult tests and unprecedented difficulty levels were just superficial words.
If Lin Xun hadn’t brought an ’extremely evil’ gene to this Chapter, the front line, as the librarian had said, would be at a disadvantage for him as a follower of Firefly. Achieving even a small-scale victory would be impossible.
However, with the spread of the ’extremely evil’ gene, the Wet Nurse has withdrawn most of its forces from the front lines. It even recalled most of its offspring and angelic warriors, confining the feathered in the Divine Kingdom and Angelic Nest, feeding off of their power.
Anyone would know without giving it much thought that the Firefly faction holds the advantage on the frontline, and quite a significant advantage at that.
Lin Xun noticed that the librarian said he would ’transport you all to the frontlines of the war’, not ’transport you to the frontline.’
This implies that during the test, he is allowed to take along ’Flandre’ and ’Jinmu,’ characters from the storyline.
He already had the upper hand, and on top of that, he had two top-tier demigods protecting him, so there was no way he could lose...
According to the librarian, the rewards would be given based on the original difficulty when Firefly was at a significant disadvantage.
Because he brought the ’extremely evil’ gene into this world, which was a completely unexpected factor and not part of the regular game process, it was equivalent to exploiting a bug.
"Did I cheat too hard?"
"Who is actually losing in this game?"
[Seeing your hesitation, the ’librarian’ tries to signal you with his eyebrows, fakes a cough, and seriously asks, "Have you decided to take up this highly difficult challenge?"]
Without any hesitation, Lin Xun pressed ’Yes.’
It was a rare opportunity to exploit the bug together with the game master, or should I say, to cooperate and exploit the bug. If he missed this opportunity, who knows when the next chance would come.
