979: Chapter 979: S-rank Starting Clearance Rating
Having the possibility to stay alive, the residents of Base City were the happiest, apart from the cheering images on TV, excited screams could also be heard outside.
The boss carefully brought out the food, “These are all special products from Base City, they taste not bad.”
Several people were indeed hungry, so they ate the stir-fried rice with vegetables grown in Base City.
“This taste really isn’t that great.” Shangguan Xi said.
“Having food to eat is already good, considering the environnt of the base.” Zhu Feiyun stuffed his mouth with rice.
“But is that little antitoxin enough?” Kuang Wenjun asked Xu Huo, “After all, such a big city, even if it’s aerosolized, most of it probably ended up in irrelevant places.
“I just went to the reservoir,” Xu Huo said.
“Nobody’s free to manage that area right now, at least half of the water channels are open.
Once people drink the water and notice their conditions improve, the rest will figure out why themselves.”
“You really thought this through,” Kuang Wenjun remarked.
“We did a great job today,” Zhu Feiyun said.
“Not only stopping a conspiracy but also saving so many people, and we were quite prominent too.
As a player for so long, I’ve never enjoyed myself this much!”
Everyone present felt a strange sense of achievent, a feeling that simply clearing the instance can’t bring.
“For today’s grand performance and for our joyful cooperation, let’s have a toast!” Shangguan Xi happily poured drinks for everyone.
“Brother Xu, what kind of antitoxin is that, to be so powerful?” Pan Qiao couldn’t help but ask.
Xu Huo took out a potion, shifted an empty wine glass over, gestured for Shangguan Xi to pour so liquor, and then evenly distributed the potion into seven glasses.
He picked up one for himself, “This is good stuff.
Drinking this, you won’t have to worry about poisoning for at least a month, as long as we don’t encounter any especially tricky Rank-A toxins or pollutants, saving yourself from near death isn’t an issue.”
Shangguan Xi and others exchanged glances, none reaching for their glasses.
Instead, Luo Changren grabbed a glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Xu Huo didn’t mind whether they drank or not.
After having his drink, he gestured with the back of his hand, offering a glass to the boss, “Have a drink?”
The boss, heavily poisoned, staggered over to the table, holding the glass with both trembling hands, and gulped it down hurriedly, even choking a bit, to which Xu Huo handed over a handkerchief.
“Thank you…
Thank you…” the boss took it with both hands, looking at him hesitantly, “Are you the custor who ca to order late-night snacks this afternoon?”
Xu Huo smiled, “You recognized .”
“Though the face is different, the voice is very similar.” The boss gently wiped his mouth, habitually smiled, “Thank you.”
News from the bar street spread fast, and when the rumors about Brother Ma and his gang being killed circulated, the boss guessed the truth.
A small petty mobster, ignorant of his limits, tried to teach a lesson to an outsider and unfortunately t a tough nut.
The boss visibly improved in health, and the people like Shangguan Xi also took their glasses one after another.
As players, their need for the drink wasn’t great, but to show sincerity, everyone drank.
Shangguan Xi casually, without waiting even two minutes after drinking, tested his own blood with a prop, then cheerfully addressed Xu Huo, fraternal and jocular.
“It seems we’re about to clear this instance,” Zhu Feiyun looked around.
“Let’s get a cage to use.” Xu Huo brought out the prop “World in the Painting,” opened the fra, put a lively Alien inside the cage, and also used the Muffler Artefact.
Like a mi performance, the Alien as a living sample constantly bashed the cage and roared at Xu Huo and the others, but apart from scaring the boss, no one else reacted, so it specifically bared teeth at the boss alone.
Amidst varying laughs, the clearance notification popped up:
[Congratulations to all players for clearing the instance “Encrypted ssages.” As you decrypted the true nature of encrypted ssages in the process and successfully completed a side quest, saving nearly a hundred thousand inhabitants of a Base City, besides the team reward and individual reward from this instance, players will additionally receive one Rank-B prop, one “Bright Gentleman” dal, and one Ga Governnt interview notice.]
[Here is the completion rating for this instance:]
[Player Passerby A: SS-rank]
[Player Lord of the Gods: S-rank]
[Player The Clown is : S-rank]
[Player Can’t You See I’ve Gone Bald: S-rank]
[Player Smile at Tomorrow: S-rank]
This part of the content was visible to everyone, the leading SS-rank stirred up Shangguan Xi and others, their breathing beca rapid, and then uncontrollable excitent followed.
Not to ntion S-rank, even acquiring a Rank-A Rating needed thorough playing of the instance, and S-rank not only required thorough playing of the instance but to play it splendidly, eting the standards of the ga was necessary to achieve it, and unexpectedly, everyone in the team started from S-rank!
“I thought at most we’d get an A, the ga is too generous this ti!” Shangguan Xi excitedly slamd the table.
“We saved so many people, that’s not worth an S?” Zhu Feiyun was so happy his face turned red.
“I know, but we were just supporting, the team rating will be based on each person’s performance…” Shangguan Xi looked towards Xu Huo, “This ti we really made a bargain!”
“And the double SS-rank, I’ve never even heard of it!”
The final rating being double SS-rank surprised Xu Huo too, after all, last ti in Sea World it had been double SS, with the focus of this instance being the side quest on the rescue, half the city’s population counting in tens of thousands, yet the rating was also double SS.
The consideration a player gets from saving an ordinary person’s life, tens of thousands of lives, both these values seed equivalent in the ga.
Seeing he wasn’t as happy, Kuang Wenjun tily spoke up, “Thanks to Brother Xu, we could all get an S-rank, and Pan Qiao and I joined midway, so we won’t take the team rewards.”
The S-rank personal rewards were definitely generous, and everyone had additional rewards, it was already a pleasant surprise, though the potentially higher-level team prop rewards were sure to be not sufficient for everyone, and eventually soone had to give up.
Pan Qiao had no objections to her decision, Shangguan Xi was okay with it, but Zhu Feiyun didn’t speak.
Xu Huo was silent, the team reward was inherently likely to cause conflicts, and the final distribution required the agreent of each person, with a 30-minute limit, during which if anyone forfeited or died, they entered redistribution.
Of course, this distribution phase was a bit obvious in provoking player disputes because if they don’t forfeit or agree to the distribution, players couldn’t exit the instance, and if soone ran off during the distribution ti, it was a matter of outlasting each other.
The team reward included:
One Rank-A prop “Death of the Holder,” two Rank-B props “Do Not Approach,” “Face Plant,” one Special item “Lifelike Wax Figure,” one primary Characteristics upgrade opportunity, and two cubic luggage compartnts.
Also included were Tickets, potions, White Notes, and a coupon gift pack from famous hotels in different ga regions.
