【Ga difficulty confird: Hell Mode. Praise your courage, strongest player.】
Since this is Challenge Mode, there are still so differences compared to previous normal gas.
After all, in past level-clear gas, even if there was competition between players, most of it was about rewards and benefits. In truth, everyone was teaming up to fight monsters. The real “villain” was the ga itself.
But this ti, so of the “difficulty” was targeted specifically at Lu Ce as the challenged player.
In ranking battles between players, the one being challenged could choose to accept or not.
But if you didn’t accept for too long, there might be so hidden penalties.
If you accepted the challenge, the difficulty level of the ga would be chosen by the challenged player.
Hard: Both players face the sa difficulty. A direct confrontation, a war, to decide the winner.
Nightmare: The challenged player faces greater disadvantages, but if they win, their reward will be better than the challenger's.
Hell: The challenged player will be at a complete disadvantage, and the challenger will be granted partial authority within the ga. However, if the challenged player wins, they will receive a massive reward.
At the sa ti, the challenger will suffer backlash and receive a penalty.
Lu Ce barely read the first half of the descriptions — he skipped straight to the latter parts.
This Hell Mode is the one to go for!
Most importantly, there's also the backlash. You want to challenge and walk away scot-free if you lose? I lose my top ranking, and you lose nothing? Not happening.
【Both players confird. Ga difficulty set to——Hell Mode!】
On the other side, when Park Bu Seong saw this ga notification, he laughed so hard he nearly p*ssed himself.
“You really chose Hell Mode?! You looking down on ?!”
Park Bu Seong’s expression twisted as he smashed the confirm button. He never imagined that this “Sin” would actually make such a move.
“Then let step on your head as I rise to beco number one in this world...”
“When I’m about to finish him off in the ga, make sure to record how he begs for rcy!”
That last sentence was directed at the viewers in his livestream.
Da Han Mingguo had already begun officially promoting this tournant. Right now, his stream had no shortage of viewers.
If the strongest player ended up being one of their own, it would greatly enhance Da Han Ming Country’s cohesion and international confidence.
Might even raise their global standing.
anwhile, the ga rules also popped up on the players’ screens.
【This mode is a Competitive Challenge Mode. Since players are on opposing sides, ssages in any livestream about the opponent will be invisible to the players.】
【Victory conditions for both sides will be determined by the specific ga.】
【If either side uses an Exit Token, the other side is declared the winner.】
【Ten minutes until the ga starts. Please prepare your equipnt and potions...】
Lu Ce noticed that the ga had fixed a few bugs. Honestly, that made things even easier.
Why is this ga working so hard to help out, huh? (￣m￣）
He opened his backpack, thought for a mont, and then bought a few supplies from the shop.
Strategically, he looked down on the opponent. But tactically, he still needed to show a little respect — especially if it aligned with his playstyle...
Last ti, he burned through way too many potions in one go. So Lu Ce spent a few thousand Reward Points and stocked up: ten bottles each of Basic and Interdiate Healing Potions.
As for Advanced Healing Potions, he’d been too stingy to use them before — but now, he bought five.
Should be enough to pop during the fight, right?
As long as he had potions, unless he got instantly killed, he was basically invincible.
Next were all the miscellaneous Achievents, Weapons, Sealed Artifacts — packed them all.
When it ca to his Mask, the familiar system prompt popped up again.
【Original Sin Mask — please select: use currently unlocked “Greed” or “Gluttony”?】
“No!” Lu Ce denied. “Unlock a new one. Random selection.”
【Initialization complete. A random selection will be made from among the still-locked emotions.】
Lu Ce had always been clear about one thing — he hadn’t fully tapped into the power of the Original Sin Mask.
While it was still early in the ga, his goal was to unlock as many emotions as possible. That was what he needed to focus on right now.
And right on cue, so clueless moron had co to challenge him...
【Ga ready...】
【Initializing...】
【Hell Ga loaded. Good luck, players — Seven Wonders of the School!】
The next mont, everything went black. Lu Ce entered a new scene.
As he raised his groggy head, it felt like he’d just enjoyed a nice nap during a senior year Chinese class, and now the school bell had rung.
Looking up, no joke — this classroom setup really did resemble his high school horoom a lot.
Almost identical segnted blackboards, almost identical desk layouts, and even the sa single desks in the front rows on either side...
Lu Ce was starting to wonder if maybe he’d fallen asleep in class before, and all this Chosen’s Ga stuff had just been a dream.
Seeing the familiar surroundings, he instinctively glanced around at the other “classmates.”
As he turned his head, he imdiately spotted soone wearing what looked like a helt. Lu Ce recognized them instantly.
Even though one eye was covered by a faint blue light screen, and the other was sealed by the helt, with the chin and mouth wrapped up too — everything else was just too obvious.
Lu Ce wasn’t Dong-ge — he wasn’t face-blind.
“This is my challenge, right? Who are you?”
Xie Antong hadn’t expected this either. She had just received a random match notice when Challenge Mode opened and decided to participate.
After all, compared to normal Ga Mode, Challenge Mode was relatively safer.
But who knew the mont she entered, she’d be hit with a Hell Mode alert?!
Her brain froze on the spot, and after several monts of choking back panic, she finally pressed confirm.
Soone seriously had nothing better to do and chose Hell Mode for her? Who the hell did she get matched with?!
Then she saw the masked person sitting next to her.
And in that instant, when she saw the light green mask in front of her — everything made sense.
Xie Antong imdiately recalled the various gas this guy had participated in, and all his wildly irrational and brutal performances.
At that mont, she felt like half her life had already slipped away.
“Challenge Mode isn’t a solo instance. Both challenger and challenged will be assigned relevant personnel. I’m your teammate...”
Suppressing her fear and nerves, Xie Antong tried to answer as calmly as she could.
Lu Ce: .......
So that’s how it is. No wonder she assud that earlier...
D*mn, are there seriously this many people challenging ?
Right now, what he really wanted to ask was —
Since you're here too, did you actually help call in sick or not?
Lu Ce said:
“So, what’s your role?”
Hearing that cold tone, Xie Antong felt the pressure spike.
She had analyzed his abilities across several gas and made a few guesses.
If she wasn’t wrong, the mask he was wearing right now was... light green.
Among the Seven Deadly Sins, light green — Wrath (GUMI)!
