After exiting the instance, Xu Tong waited for about five minutes, and the compensation information for the instance was displayed. "Instance completed" "Instance type: Multiplayer instance" "Instance difficulty: Aberrant" "Clearance evaluation: Unrepeatable miracle" "Clearance rewards: Player level increased to level 19, game currency *20000" "Additional rewards: Can draw one piece of equipment of the highest quality suitable for the current level, can draw one skill of the highest quality suitable for the current level" "Compensation reward: Mask of the Trickster" "Name: Mask of the Trickster" "Type: Equipment - Armor"
"Quality: Excellent" "Equipment requirements: Level 15 and above" "Effect: After equipping the Trickster's Mask, your stats will be hidden. If others attempt to pry into your stats, they will be randomly given a false value." "Evaluation: Flowers in a mirror and the moon's reflection in the water, truth and falsehood intertwined, when the false seems real, the real becomes false." "Why does this evaluation sound like a tongue twister?" Xu Tong muttered. Without hesitation, he directly equipped the Trickster's Mask. Walking into the bathroom, Xu Tong originally wanted to splash some cold water on his face to invigorate himself before drawing the other two rewards. But just as he splashed water on his face, Xu Tong's peripheral vision seemed to catch something strange in the mirror. On the side of Xu Tong's face, there seemed to be an extra, ferocious mouth. The length of the mouth might only be five centimeters, but the sudden appearance of a mouth full of sharp teeth on a complete face was still somewhat concerning. Xu Tong refocused his attention on the mirror, but found that the mouth on his face had disappeared. His face looked very clean, without even a seam. Reaching out to touch his face, Xu Tong wondered if he had seen it wrong, then turned and walked out of the bathroom. As soon as he sat on the sofa, Vaccine ran over, propped its front paws on Xu Tong's upper arm, and stuck out its tongue to lick Xu Tong's face. "Stop licking, stop licking, I still have other rewards to draw." Clearing an Aberrant instance provides one more additional reward compared to clearing other instances. Perhaps this is the compensation for such extremely difficult instances. Although Xu Tong personally cleared Aberrant instances twice and didn't really feel the difficulty restricting him, he could still see from some clues how difficult this type of instance was for other players. The confrontation-type instance that Wang Qi mentioned is coming soon. Aside from the Flesh Dice, a rule-breaking item, Xu Tong is actually quite lacking in combat power, especially in terms of skills. He basically doesn't have any combat-type skills that are useful to him. Therefore, Xu Tong silently closed his eyes and began to pray. "Please give me a useful combat-type skill! Don't give me auxiliary skills like Shooting Correction!" Seeing Xu Tong starting to pray, Vaccine tilted its head and closed its own eyes, seemingly praying along in a very human-like way.
The next moment. "Acquired skill: Bow Stance Punch Lv0" "Name: Bow Stance Punch Lv0" "Type: Fighting Technique" "Effect: Unleash a full-force punch forward. Cooldown time is 60 seconds. This skill can earn experience points through repeated use. After gaining enough experience points, the skill can be upgraded." "Usage restriction: Level 19 and above" "Evaluation: Military boxing, ready! Please instruct, drill sergeant!" This skill can be upgraded? Xu Tong had never encountered the concept of being able to upgrade skills before. This was the first time he had encountered this type of skill, which surprised him somewhat. It seems that after entering the instance, he can start earning experience points by punching. After drawing the skill, Xu Tong focused his attention on the other piece of equipment that needed to be drawn. "Please!" Xu Tong repeated his old trick, praying again, "The momentum is good right now, give me a piece of equipment that will help in combat!" Vaccine also closed its eyes again and began to help pray. "Acquired equipment: Diamond Pickaxe" "Name: Diamond Pickaxe" "Type: Weapon - Tool" "Quality: Excellent" "Equipment requirements: Level 19 and above" "Effect: Can cause extra damage to buildings and geology" "Evaluation: Hey, Steve, your days of digging and chiseling in the world are over. Give me that diamond pickaxe." Xu Tong: "..." Well, that's okay. At least it's considered a weapon, and it can also do extra damage to buildings. Although he doesn't know under what circumstances he would need to cause damage to a building. After drawing all the items, Xu Tong touched his face again. A few days ago, he saw strange spatial distortions in his vision, and today he saw a mouth inexplicably growing on his face. Xu Tong always felt that there was something wrong, but whenever he wanted to investigate, these anomalies would disappear as if they had discussed it beforehand. "Something's weird." Moreover, Xu Tong discovered that the mouth grew on his face right after he absorbed the outer god's oral organ.
He glanced at his panel, and the special bonus section had also changed. "Player Name: Xu Tong" "Player Level: 19" "Game Currency: 36000" "Skills: Swift Walk, Shooting Correction B+, Connection Line, Bow Stance Punch Lv0" "Equipment: M1917 US-made Smith \u0026 Wesson, Flesh Dice, Cardboard Armor, Primordial Chaos Flute, Mask of the Trickster" "Special Bonus/Items: His Left Palm, Gaze of the Agent, Favor of the Ancient God, Qingcheng Clinic Head Physician's Badge - Xu Tong, His Oral Organ" "Current Abyss World Passport Fragment: 1/10" "At least it looks richer than when I first entered the Abyss World." Yawning, Xu Tong glanced at the time. It wasn't early, so he simply washed up and returned to his bedroom. Guarding outside the door, Vaccine raised its head and looked into the living room. In the living room, there was a faint spatial distortion that was gradually affecting the surroundings. Crack—— It seemed that a subtle crack, undetectable to the naked eye, appeared in this space in a high-dimensional form. —— The Bureau of Countermeasures. Fu Yun opened his eyes. "Instance completed" "Instance type: Multiplayer instance" "Instance difficulty: Aberrant" "Clearance evaluation: Poor" "Clearance rewards: Player level increased to level 70, game currency *5000" This string of text appeared in Fu Yun's vision, and he was immediately stunned. In the distance, a top player from the Plum Blossom Team walked over and said to Fu Yun, "The instance is completed? Great, we were just about to start a new instance together. Do you want to join?" Fu Yun shook his head and said in a very dull tone, "No, thanks..." "Why?" The player was a little puzzled. "He Wu Shuang is in the group. Isn't he always your idol? There aren't many opportunities to team up with your idol and get carried. Are you sure you don't want to participate?" Fu Yun didn't directly answer the question, but instead asked, "I remember that if an instance fails, the instance evaluation will say 'Clearance Failed' and there won't be an evaluation, right?" "Yeah, you're already level sixty-nine, haven't you known this for a long time?" The other person's tone was confused. "You're acting weird. Didn't you say you were going to do a normal difficulty multiplayer instance? You can't tell me you didn't clear it, right?"
Fu Yun covered his face, took a deep breath, and then let out a loud laugh. "Now, my idol has changed. He Wu Shuang? What an ugly mess. Has he ever cleared an Aberrant instance?" The other person was stunned. "What's wrong with you? Have you lost your mind?" Fu Yun turned to look at him, grinning with an extremely proud smile, and dropped a bombshell. "Just now, under the leadership of a big boss, I cleared an Aberrant instance." "So what if a big boss carried you through an instance? What's so... wait!" The teammate widened his eyes. "Cleared what instance?" The pride on Fu Yun's face became even fuller, as if he was the biggest contributor to clearing the Aberrant instance. "Aberrant instance!"
