Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 289 - 185: Hidden Dragon Plan—Rules, Rewards, Special Squad Organization!
The conference room was silent, with many hearing the essence of the Life Ghost Dimension for the first time.
"And what we refer to as ’Abyss’." The officer’s voice suddenly heightened, carrying a decisive gravity, "It is neither the main body of the Life Ghost Dimension nor an extension of our reality!"
He slid his hands over the console.
Buzz!
The holographic projection instantly changed into an extremely simple yet profoundly meaningful three-dimensional model!
The bottom layer represented the relatively stable blue light membrane contour of the real world.
The top layer represented the Life Ghost Dimension, filled with twisted chaotic lines and dark red abstract patterns.
And between the two, there existed a narrow, giant crevice-like interlayer!
This interlayer appeared chaotic, constantly rolling and stirring, like a storm-ravaged sea surface or surging lava deep in the crust!
Countless tiny "holes" appeared intermittently between the interlayer and the upper and lower layers!
"The ’Abyss’ is this crevice! It’s the ’intermediate zone’ formed by the massive dimensions squeezing, colliding, and energy recklessly clashing! It’s a chaotic domain where rules conflict and energy runs amok!"
The officer pointed to the chaotic, rolling light of the interlayer, his voice filled with thrilling excitement:
"There, you will face extreme phenomena beyond the imagination of the real world! Bathed in furious rule fragments! At the edge of life and death, feel the most primitive and genuine pulses of the world!"
"The Hidden Dragon Plan is to send those of you who embody the Federation’s top talent into this ’Creation Furnace’! Use the most brutal environment to temper your will! Use the most frenzied energy to hone your foundation! Use the most perilous battles to refine your edge!"
Then, the officer’s tone shifted to one of cold, hard iron:
"But remember! In the Abyss, there is no trickery! No shortcut! Only the most naked battles of life and death!"
"Struggle with Heaven! Fight against Earth! And engage in combat with those Life Ghosts, either drawn into the ’Abyss’ or infiltrating through the ’holes’!"
The officer’s gaze, sharp as a blade, swept across the eager young faces filled with a fighting spirit:
"Now, announce the rules!"
"The first rule, and the iron law! No mutual killing! Any intentional act of killing a companion, once verified, will be executed without pardon! The involved Martial Arts Hall or family will be permanently deprived of qualification to join the Hidden Dragon Plan!"
As the decisive phrase "No mutual killing" fell upon the room.
Beside Fang Qingyu, Chu Kuanglan immediately lowered his voice, speaking loudly enough only for a few nearby, chuckling with a hint of mischief and reminder:
"God Fang, pay attention! It’s no killing, no murder! It’s not saying you can’t fight!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyu’s eyes slightly narrowed, instantly understanding the implication.
One cannot kill, but sparring, fighting, seizing opportunities...
As long as it doesn’t result in fatalities, it’s in the gray zone allowed by the rules!
Fang Qingyu slowly lifted his head, eyes calmly meeting those scrutinizing, provocative, and subtly malicious gazes cast from all directions within the venue.
Those gazes seemed to become more unrestrained after the officer announced the rules, like sharks smelling blood.
The officer’s voice, like a cold iron hammer, struck everyone’s heart:
"Second rule! The timing of entering the ’Abyss’ is not for us to decide!"
His gaze swept across the crowd, carrying an indisputable sternness.
"The opening and stabilization of the ’Abyss’ entrance entirely depend on the energy fluctuations generated by the collision of the two dimensions, which are extremely random and unpredictable!"
"Once the entrance stabilizes to an allowable state, the communication devices you carry will immediately issue the highest-level summon command!"
The officer’s words were definitive.
"At that time, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, you must arrive at the designated top-level teleport point within ten minutes!"
"Missing it will be deemed as forfeiting this entry qualification! No second chance!"
"Therefore..." The officer’s gaze, like a solid spotlight, swept over every face, "Stay on standby! Keep your communication device with you at all times, maintain readiness!"
These words made many appear more solemn.
This means for the next three months they must keep their nerves taut and be ready to enter the unknown peril at any moment.
"Third rule!"
The officer’s voice softened slightly, carrying a hint of encouragement.
"As the Federation’s commitment and expectation for you ’Hidden Dragons,’ during this plan, besides perceiving the Power of Nature in the ’Abyss’ and seeking breakthrough opportunities, each of you can unconditionally select one ’Great Sun Level’ Martial Technique from the Federation Armory!"
This encouragement did not have much reaction.
Given the strength of those present.
It is not difficult to exchange merit for a Great Sun Level Martial Technique.
"Additionally," the officer continued, "During the plan period, fifty Profound Qi Blood Crystals and ten Profound Understanding Life Pearls will be provided monthly to each of you, the Divine Cultists get the same amount of Meditation Flowers!"
This resource allocation is rather generous.
The atmosphere in the venue slightly enlivened due to these ample resource rewards.
However, the officer’s next words, like sparks into boiling oil, instantly ignited the whole room!
"Fourth rule!"
The officer’s voice suddenly heightened, carrying unprecedented solemnity, even faintly revealing a hint of fanaticism!
"This Hidden Dragon Plan lasts for three months! Within three months, those who successfully break through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm will have the top three with the strongest combat power decided among them!"
