Chapter 334: The Old Mansion in the Mountains
The reason why he deliberately raised the difficulty by a level was that Tang Juyi also had his considerations. In his mind, the torture difficulty was already a relatively obvious watershed, and being able to pass a task of this difficulty usually meant that the detached person had very good potential.
If Tan Ying gave up participating in this task because of fear, Tang Juyi had a good reason to continue to use her as a discardable chess piece, and if she chose to participate, but unexpectedly failed, then Tang Juyi could also continue to choose a new chess piece without burden.
If Tan Ying really survived this mission, then Tang Juyi would have a reason to accept her.
This is equivalent to the choice given by Tang Juyi, a very cruel choice, although the choice is in Tan Ying's own hands, but its danger is controlled by Tang Juyi alone.
Yes, he could indeed use a difficult-level task as an assessment task, but that was not enough for Tan Ying to reach a position in Tang Juyi's heart where he could stay by his side, at most it was only temporary and useful.
For the choice of companions, Tang Juyi has always had to judge his qualifications in his own way, just like Ya Wushuang and Lan Tian at the beginning, which were within the scope of Tang Juyi's calculations.
Wen Weizhi only thought that Tang Juyi deliberately concealed the fact that the difficulty of the torture was just to improve his chances of survival, but in fact, if it was just to improve the chance of survival, Tang Juyi preferred to carry out the dimensional task alone, because he trusted himself more.
The reason why they want to bring Ya Wushuang and Lan Tian is Tang Juyi's judgment of them. He wondered if the two would be able to contribute at the torture level of difficulty, not be held back, and if they would be able to be trusted companions.
It turns out that Ya Wushuang and Lan Tian have this qualification. Although they lacked some experience in dealing with terrorist incidents, they met Tang Juyi's requirements in terms of adaptability, thinking speed, and their own strength.
Therefore, when they reported their family background without scruples and told their strength information, Tang Juyi also showed his strength in full, treating them as real teammates, rather than tools that could be discarded at any time.
Now, Tan Ying is also facing such an assessment. Although her strength is indeed very weak, the design of the Extradimensional for the content of the mission will also take this into account. Perhaps below the difficulty, one's own strength accounts for a large proportion of the success rate, but above the difficulty of torture, the other qualities of the individual are more valued.
For example, the intuition of danger, the judgment of correct information, and the response to unexpected situations are all hidden conditions considered in the difficult tasks.
After Tang Juyi informed the difficulty of the task, Tan Ying began an intense and orderly preparation training.
Tang Juyi took several difficult dimensional tasks he had experienced in the past as examples, explained in detail the process, dangerous elements, information collection, and key points of plot judgment, and explained every detail, teaching Tan Ying a lot of experience in dealing with torture and difficulty.
Although this was the assessment that Tang Juyi had prepared for Tan Ying, after all, he had already invested a lot in this woman, whether it was energy or wealth, so he didn't want to see Tan Ying die in this dimensional mission.
It wasn't until five days later that Tang Juyi finally completed all the training content for Tan Ying, and even the training of psychological quality was also included. He confirmed that Tan Ying had no other aspects to improve in a short period of time, and then led her to the altar in the ruins.
Unlike the Forgotten Sea, the Transcendents in the Barren Continent must perform dimensional quests on the altar inside the ruins, and they also need to master the relics generated in the ruins.
However, Tang Juyi had already prepared these things, so it was not a trouble.
Soon, the two came to the altar, and as the team leader in the ready stage, although Tang Juyi could choose to assess the difficulty of the task, he could not use the [Prophet's Core] to select the content of the task, because his "Gu Sin" team was not actually officially established, and he was not an official team leader.
In this way, in the face of the situation that the content of the task is completely random, the danger of the mission is completely unknown, and the strength of Tang Juyi and Tan Ying is too huge, this dimensional mission is undoubtedly extremely dangerous for Tan Ying.
Even Tang Juyi himself was not completely sure that he would be able to escape under the difficulty of torture.
Holding Tan Ying's hand beside him, Tang Juyi glanced at her for the last time:
"Ready?"
Tan Ying took a deep breath, and her gentle facial features were full of perseverance at this time:
"Ready!"
Seeing this situation, Tang Juyi no longer hesitated, and directly triggered the relic token in his hand and started this dimensional task.
[It was detected that the detachment (Tang Juyi) and the detachment (Tan Ying) have not yet completed the squad assessment task in the ready stage, should this task be used as the squad assessment task?] 】
"Yes"
[Please select the difficulty of the squad assessment mission: Difficulty/Torture/Nightmare/Hell]
"Torment."
[Reminder: Since this dimensional mission is a squad assessment task, it cannot be carried out with other detached people]
[Hint: Due to the large span of strength between the detached people participating in the assessment, the task content will be adjusted according to the comprehensive situation, and the difficulty of all members will be at the same level]
Hearing this second prompt, Tang Juyi was finally slightly surprised:
"Originally, the content of the mission was adjusted to ensure that the difficulty was balanced? It's no wonder that this avoids a situation where a particularly strong detached person comes to quickly brush up on difficult dungeons with novices...... I think the content of the mission will impose a lot of restrictions on the strong people, so that they cannot interfere with the mission content of the weak people in the team. ”
At this point, darkness enveloped Tang Juyi and engulfed his consciousness as well.
…………
Lightning and thunder roared, a gloomy sea of black clouds covered the sky, and the mountains below were also covered in haze and raged by violent showers.
The tall trees had no place in the rainstorm and were even blown down by a hurricane.
In the dense woods, two figures could be faintly seen, but they were soon obscured by the storm and could no longer be seen.
The picture goes dark, and then there is an old mansion that looks like no one has set foot in a long time, full of oriental architectural style, but it looks very dilapidated. The house is not big, but it is gloomy but always around, making it easy for people not to dare to enter it.
Suddenly, there was a dull knock in the house, followed by the clear sound of bones breaking.
A painful snort of a male voice came from inside the house, but it soon stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of slow dragging.
At this point, the task prompt finally appeared.
[Dimensional World]: An old house in the mountains
[Objective]: Rescue Mr. Tang
[Difficulty]: Torment
[World view]: A young couple traveling in the mountains was unexpectedly caught in a storm and separated in the storm, lost in the dense rainforest. When she woke up, she found herself in front of an old abandoned house, but her husband was nowhere to be seen, except that she saw her husband's watch at the door.
[Quest Reward]: 30,000 Dimension Points
Failure Penalty: None
[Comprehensive Evaluation]: There is no task penalty this time, but you should have already guessed the reason if you are smart.
