Yuze was dizzy from her shaking, and said with a smile, "I see, I see. Our kid is really amazing. Coming back from just one winter vacation, she’s already an A-level Spiritual Power User."
Josh’s face showed a trace of excitent. She speculated that it was likely related to her unsealing of the Nascent Soul Realm.
If she continues at this speed, even if she doesn’t beco the god of this world, she might be able to use the Spiritual Power of this world to break through the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and successfully ascend.
After checking her body, Ma Qi arranged for Josh to undergo individual training alone.
After the New Year, the competition was about to start.
Unlike the previous year’s rookie selection and pre-competition accumulation, the post-New Year competition had an elimination system.
Among the people selected before the New Year, there were originally 9,999,999, and during the pre-New Year accumulation, a batch had already been sifted out, leaving over 8 million people.
Among these, the team sizes varied from 3 to 7, totaling more than 1.6 million teams.
The initial stages were an elimination system entering dungeons by drawing lots.
This ant that teams randomly drawn to enter the sa dungeon, whether two, three, five, or ten teams, only one team could advance from that dungeon.
Team dungeons offered the most points and were the easiest to achieve.
Second were the duo dungeons, followed by solo dungeons.
Competitors could choose different tracks at will for the competition and could change tracks at the next dungeon.
The final determination of victory, defeat, and advancent was based on competition points and dungeon ratings.
Josh’s power accumulation before the New Year was only 1273, not even reaching the starting point of others.
Of course, this value was just the ga’s battle power point value, which could represent a competitor’s strength to so extent, but it wasn’t absolute. For exceptions like Josh, combat power value couldn’t define her overall strength.
However, to enter the competition, a combat power of over 2000 was necessary.
So, after the New Year, Ma Qi put Josh into the solo competition for special training. For nearly half a month, she underwent 24/7 rigorous training, losing the baby fat she’d gained over the New Year.
Josh took it seriously herself, and after reaching 2000 combat power, she continued to crawl and struggle, finally stopping at a hard-earned 2500.
The competition arrived as scheduled.
More than 1.6 million teams were ready to go, waiting in their guild’s ga login room.
In reality, the ga just required opening the dungeon selection and obtaining an Identity Card to enter.
But once exiting, they appeared in the sa place, and exposing the logout location ant possibly being ambushed and killed in reality.
That’s why guilds established ga login rooms for teammates to log in and out together, making managent easier for the guilds.
Ma Qi first let the five-mber team of Golden Shit Stirrer enter a team dungeon to see the effects.
As usual, Josh drew the dungeon.
A blood-drenched, twisted doll face appeared on the login screen’s cover, with the words "Horror Doll House" written below.
Rob swallowed hard, "Josh’s unlucky hand again, we never draw easy dungeons. Should we try again?"
Ma Qi glared at him, "Isn’t this perfect to train your courage?"
Rob’s face soured, "Coach..."
Joyce laughed, "Stop it, competition dungeons aren’t like usual ones, you can’t back out. Let’s go in."
The bottom-right corner of the dungeon showed the number of participants was continuously increasing.
The dungeon they drew had a fairly high probability, with 5 other teams also drawing it, making a total of 30 people.
Only the first team to clear it would win, while the other five teams would be eliminated.
The preliminary rounds were still relatively simple, as the teams varied in size and strength.
[Welco to the dungeon ’Horror Doll House’.]
[This is an abandoned building, with seven floors in total.
Each night, eerie and sharp cries and screams could be heard from the building.
Blood and the stench of rot filled the air, lingering for a long ti.
Over ti, this building beca a horror attraction.
More and more people ca to check it out, but hardly anyone ca out alive.]
[Players, please prepare to start the ga. Countdown begins: one minute, 59, 58, 57...]
[Ding! Countdown finished. The ga officially starts. Players, please take this seriously and play civilly.]
[Your role is a girl exploring the building.]
[The dungeon exit is on the seventh floor. You must reach the seventh floor and find the exit to successfully leave the building and clear the ga.]
This was Josh’s third ti going into a dungeon with the entire Golden Shit Stirrer team. However, the last ti at the Ancient Castle, each person had their path, and she hadn’t interacted or cooperated much with them, except for Yuze.
She looked down at her Identity Card. She had drawn a girl’s card, but it had no introduction or image, just a simple white card.
It simply had the word "Girl" on it.
The other Identity Cards seed to be the sa.
They were on the first floor of the building, and after everyone settled in the hall, the door slowly closed.
The lighting inside the building gradually dimd.
The hall wasn’t big. The dim light turned the floor and walls’ white colors into an aged, dusty yellowish hue. Dust was piled on the ground, and bloodstains appeared in the corners.
At so point, various large and small stuffed dolls filled the corners, about as tall as a person’s thigh, like a group of lifelike children.
"So what are we supposed to do now? Is this an escape room? Are we supposed to find a way to the second floor?"
"I guess so?"
So people couldn’t help but quietly discuss with their teammates.
So recognized mbers of Golden Shit Stirrer and wanted to approach them, but Yuze’s unapproachable gaze scared them away.
Josh discreetly observed the surroundings, "Don’t you think the dust here is too much?"
Rob nodded seriously while covering his nose, "Terrible air quality."
Yuze frowned, his expression just as unpleasant, "And it stinks."
Josh sniffed slightly. Indeed, an undefinable sll lingered, like sothing burnt.
But the whole hall had white-tiled floors and was painted white.
Though it looked very dusty and old, there were no combustibles.
Except for these old dolls.
The hall was empty, apart from the scattered old dolls in various corners.
Additionally, these dolls wore especially creepy expressions, as if they were screaming and crying, their faces filled with agony and terror.
Josh squinted, "Have you noticed that these dolls all seem to be girls?"
Yuze glanced around, nodding cautiously.
Rob nodded in surprise, "Oh right! All of them are pigtail-girl dolls, no boy dolls at all..."
After a while, he nodded in agreent, "Good taste! In this world, only girls are the best, and n are just pigs. They all deserve to die!"
Josh’s mouth twitched slightly, "...This isn’t the ti for your rants."
Rob stuck out his tongue, "It was heartfelt, couldn’t help it."
