Chapter 151: Nightmare Difficulty, Enemy of Demonized Monsters
Besides unlocking higher-level instances, civilization level also offers other benefits.
First-Level Civilization can now communicate with other Awakened Worlds.
Of course, only Child of Civilization has this privilege.
"Level 0 Civilization is in its cradle. Only after passing the Ghost-Level Calamity and being promoted to First-Level Civilization can it be considered stepping out of the novice village and onto a larger stage."
Noah understood in his heart.
Although curious about the Awakened Worlds beyond Blue Star, Noah was not in a hurry.
He first looked towards the instances he was most concerned about.
After passing the Ghost-Level Calamity, instances could finally be entered.
At this moment, who knows how many people were eagerly entering instances? The painful experiences during the Ghost-Level Calamity made everyone realize the importance of strength.
Coupled with the boost brought by another nationwide reward, the difficulty of clearing instances was further reduced, and countless people flocked into instances of various tiers.
Next, not only First Order and Tier 2, but also Three-order Awakeners will likely see a surge.
Opening the instance list, Noah first checked the number of instances. Now there were more Three-order instances, a total of 81.
The extra one was naturally the Original Forest instance cleared and converted by Noah.
[You have selected Trial Instance: Storm Sea]
[Please select difficulty: Simple, Ordinary, Difficult, and Nightmare]
Higher difficulties appeared for Three-order Trial Instances.
Noah was not surprised.
With his current strength, although he hadn’t entered this Nightmare instance, he wasn’t worried at all; instead, he was quite looking forward to it.
A new difficulty, as long as it’s cleared early enough, means another nationwide advent.
"I choose, Nightmare."
[You have selected Trial Instance: Storm Sea (Nightmare)]
[Instance Players: 1-10 people]
[Enter?]
"Hmm? The number of instance players has changed?" Noah showed a surprised expression.
Previous instances, except for Tier 2 Advancement Instance which could be entered solo due to its high difficulty, all mandatorily required five players.
Now it’s no longer mandatory. Noah can enter alone, with a maximum of ten people.
"It’s become more flexible and more user-friendly."
Noah nodded slightly.
He wasn’t going to enter the instance immediately, otherwise, he would have notified Rose and the others already.
After clarifying the situation of Three-order instances, Noah activated his Talent without hesitation.
"Insight."
Noah quickly closed Insight. Although the Advancement Instance was in an unselectable state, he still used his Talent to obtain the information he wanted.
"The special reward for Nightmare difficulty requires the first clear within 50 days. There’s still time."
"The situation with the Advancement Instance is a bit different. It’s currently Extreme difficulty, will drop to High difficulty after 18 days, and return to normal after 30 days."
Difficult instances required the first clear within 72 hours after the nationwide awakening to get special rewards, but the time for Nightmare instances was suddenly extended to 50 days, a huge difference.
However, Noah could understand. After all, there were Difficult instances at First Order, but Nightmare instances had to wait until Three-order.
The new difficulties that come later will definitely require more time.
It was the Advancement Instance that surprised Noah a bit. The highest difficulty becoming Extreme difficulty wasn’t strange, but Noah originally thought it would return to Ordinary after Extreme. He didn’t expect there to be a High difficulty in between. It seems that in the future, the difficulty of Advancement Instances will continuously decrease over time, one after another, until it becomes Ordinary difficulty.
Different difficulties definitely have different rewards.
People confident in their strength can completely choose the appropriate difficulty to enter.
Of course, title rewards definitely only exist for the highest difficulty.
Closing the instance list, Noah thought for a moment and sent a message to Roland.
"Three-order Trial Instances can allow up to ten people to enter. I’ll give you four spots. Remember, I don’t want teammates who are Difficult to get along with."
Capital City, Supernatural Management Bureau Headquarters.
Roland suddenly stood up from his seat, his face full of excitement.
He didn’t expect that Noah, even after reaching the third order, would still be willing to lead others.
You know, Three-order instances no longer have mandatory requirements for the number of players.
Many insiders at the Supernatural Management Bureau believed that Noah would choose to go solo after Three-order...
"Hahaha, if those guys knew, their faces would probably be swollen from being slapped." Roland was indescribably excited.
This was great news, indicating that the Supernatural Management Bureau’s efforts were not in vain. They had received the desired return in building a connection with Noah.
If they wanted to maximize benefits, the spots would definitely be best given to SSS-Level Talent Awakeners. The Supernatural Management Bureau already had five SSS-Level Talent Awakeners; just among them, one would have to be filtered out first.
But Noah had a condition: he wanted teammates who were easy to get along with. Which SSS-Level Talent Awakener wasn’t arrogant? Although they definitely couldn’t be arrogant in front of Noah.
But are the higher-ups willing to take this risk?
Maintaining a good relationship with Noah is paramount.
Just thinking about it gave Roland a headache.
"Forget it. These four positions are very important—let the higher-ups worry about it."
Qi Maoyun decisively chose to pass the message to the higher-ups.
He could foresee the intense struggle that would occur among the higher-ups for these four spots, but it had nothing to do with him.
...
Before, Noah might not have chosen to fill up the spots, but after becoming Child of Civilization, he naturally hoped that Blue Star would have as many strong individuals as possible.
Bringing four people is bringing, bringing nine people is also the same. The instance player limit is there, might as well use it.
The last spot, Noah naturally gave it to Lily, which was also something he had promised long ago.
That captured Four-order Magic Eagle also needed Lily to read its memories.
As Tier 2, she definitely couldn’t do it. Only at Three-order would she have a certain degree of confidence.
After sending a message to Lily, urging her to ascend to Three-order as soon as possible, Noah checked his other gains.
100,000 full attributes, nothing much to say about that.
A perfect-grade item that can be chosen freely, both in type and specific item, is determined by himself. It’s an enhanced version of the temporary authority to specify rewards.
After all, this is a perfect-grade item. Even in the drop list of Mythical Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff Instance, there aren’t many. And the range of this free choice is definitely much larger than the former, offering a wider range of options.
Perfect-grade items are also rare for Noah.
However, Noah was not in a hurry to use it. He planned to wait until the end to check for omissions and make up for deficiencies.
The newly acquired title surprised Noah.
[Enemy of Demonized Monsters]
[Type: Title]
[You have killed a large number of Demonized Monsters, gaining a notorious reputation among Demonized Monsters. Damage dealt to Demonized Monsters +50%]
[Note: Your existence has aroused strong hostility from Demonized Monsters. The world you are in is more likely to be attacked by Demonized Monsters.]
"There’s even a title like this."
Noah was surprised and uncertain.
The title Enemy of Demonized Monsters is completely different from titles like pioneer. Both its advantages and disadvantages are quite obvious.
