They didn’t discuss anything else. Since the system determined most of the ability values, all they could do was choose their own route and leave it to fate.jpg.
When choosing special props, Zong Jiu hesitated between the friendship cards of the Clown and the Mad Hatter, and Iruka’s Silver Coin.
There was no doubt that although the friendship cards of the Clown and the Mad Hatter were only B-rank, their combat effectiveness couldn’t be underestimated. During the Halloween event, Zong Jiu watched with his own eyes as the Clown punched in the head of another ghost NPC and stuffed it into a trash can. The scene was as bloody and violent as possible. Of course, the Mad Hatter was no less generous in this regard.
However, the next round of instances was an instance where winning depends purely on luck, so luck should be more important.
Iruka’s Silver Coin, a B-rank special prop that Zong Jiu obtained from the old nun in the Judgment Day instance, could turn the user into an invincible lucky person favored by God for ten minutes.
In fact, when he came back later and asked, Anthony, Zhong Yiyuan, and Xu Su had also received some weird and various special props from their family members in the Judgment Day instance.
Comparing them, of course it would be more profitable to bring the Silver Coin into this instance.
Zong Jiu didn’t think for long before he directly selected Iruka’s Silver Coin to bind and filled it in the carrying item column of the identity card.
On the other hand, Tsuchimikado looked a little hesitant, “The next instance won’t be a supernatural instance, right?”
The Exorcist kindly reminded him that the next instance would strip all body enhancements from the trainees.
Tsuchimikado was extremely happy when he thought that he would get this opportunity to sneak into Europe and become a non-chief after inheriting the abilities of the Yin-Yang Master.
But after happiness, worries also followed.
Undoing the Yin-Yang Master’s abilities had its advantages, but it also had its disadvantages.
If the next instance was a supernatural instance, Tsuchimikado, who lost his ability but had no high inspiration, would become a favorite in the eyes of all ghosts.
In that case, Tsuchimikado would have to consider bringing a supernatural prop, which would be better than nothing.
“No.”
This time it was Zhuge An who answered him.
The black-haired tactician stood around holding his Taichi Eight Trigrams Plate in his hand. He walked around in the quiet room, occasionally lowering his head to fiddle with it.
Everyone watched his movements. After a while, he started to cross his hands over the Plate, and said with an inscrutable look, “The next instance is not a supernatural instance. You just need to bring functional props.”
It was good to have a prophet.
The Yin-Yang Master breathed a sigh of relief and turned to worry about his full system backpack.
Zong Jiu was about to put down his identity card when he turned around and received an unexpected message from the system.
[S-rank trainee Zhuge An has spent 20,000 survival points to transfer the permission to carry props in the instance to you]
He looked up suddenly and saw the other party saying calmly, “Bring your other B-rank prop with you.”

“I do not need it.”
The latter shook his head, with a rare serious look on his face, “The Eight Trigrams plate shows that you will be in trouble in the next instance. Two props are indispensable for you, and you might be able to win a glimmer of hope.”
That serious?
Not only Zong Jiu, but the other people in the conference room also showed surprised expressions.
The ability of the Magician was obvious to all. Even if all enhancements and props were stripped away, Zong Jiu’s identity card was quite outstanding. He had 70 points in the light charm skill. Throwing dice had a success rate of seven out of ten. As long as he had a little better luck, he could run all over the entire time.
Besides, the fact that a top psychic medium was included in the group instance was enough to surprise everyone in the beginning. Because in everyone’s mind, S-rank was a recommended seat and could not be included in the decisive battle instance. But now Zhuge An swore that the Magician would encounter life-threatening danger in the next instance, how could they not be surprised?
“It’s not that exaggerated, is it?”
Tsuchimikado was the first to scratch his head, “Anyway, the next instance is a full instance. Can’t we just take more care of each other then?”
Xu Su also nodded. If there was danger, he would definitely rush in front of Zong Jiu to block the gun.
Everyone in the conference room knew that Zong Jiu was the savior appointed in Guiguzi’s prophecy. Since they gathered for a common purpose, ensuring the safety of the savior was naturally a basic prerequisite.
Zhuge An didn’t say anything, but gave the Yin-Yang Master a meaningful look, making the latter feel frightened.
Apart from this episode, there wasn’t much to discuss.
There already weren’t many things that the trainees could decide on. Now, before the moment of the S+ rank instance, everyone’s mood was very stagnant. Experienced survivors could tell at a glance that these two ten-sided dice and the new rules was change without changing anything. Although it was simpler than expected, it was not by much.
In a few words, all the issues and situations that they wanted to talk about in this meeting were explained clearly and they were ready to adjourn.
Just before the meeting ended, the Exorcist suddenly came over and asked slightly worriedly, “Magician, No. 1 and you…”
Starting from the Masquerade, the unusual atmosphere between the new No. 9 and No. 1 attracted everyone’s attention.
It would be okay for other people, but it would be a bit strange to put the situation on the Savior and the Devil appointed by the prophecy.
S-rank survivors were much more serious than other lower-rank survivors and those watching the livestream. Everyone was concerned about whether Zong Jiu was being controlled or coerced.
“It’s okay.” Zong Jiu waved his hand.
What needed to be asked was asked, after confirming that everything was fine, everyone called it a day and left.
On the contrary, Zhuge An walked at the back, looking like he still had something to say.
The Magician stopped and waited for the other party to speak.
Zhuge An gave him a complicated look, “The solution lies with No. 1.”
Zong Jiu, “…?”
He was stunned for a while, and then he reached out and touched Zhuge An’s head.
Unexpectedly, he was not controlled.jpg.
“You mean, I still need his help for the next instance?” Zong Jiu asked in disbelief.
The other party looked at him like an idiot, full of contempt for his intelligence, “Who asked you to ask him for help? You don’t know how to fool people? Do you need me to teach you?”
Good guy, that’s nothing compared to you, a triple agent.
Zong Jiu cursed, nodded, and listened to those words.
…
Soon, the one-month rest period passed.
The day had finally come when the S+ rank instance opened.
Since this was the last instance the system released to the public, many trainees were too nervous the day before and stayed up all night.
This morning, when there were nearly two hours left before the gathering time, the broadcast hall was already filled with chattering people.
The pressure of the Thrilling Trainee competition for more than half a year, spanning instances and special events, was much greater than the psychological pressure of regularly playing instances in the infinite loop. At this point, all the trainees were very tired. No matter what the result was, they just wanted to end it all quickly.
Of course, because the system had developed a killer weapon called the ten-sided dice, many trainees with low strength who previously had no idea of their debut position were as excited as if they had been given a shot of adrenalin.
[Who would have thought… the last instance depends on luck, that’s amazing]
[Indeed, no one could’ve imagined that the system would do something like this. It’s no wonder that many veteran survivors in the stream have bad expressions. Originally, they had the blood and props to be ahead of the others, but now these low-rank survivors may be able to survive the next instance with luck. But the number of debut positions is fixed at one hundred. If there are too many or too few, it will be very difficult.]
[The rest doesn’t matter, I just hope there won’t be any changes to the S-ranks, Amitabha]
Zong Jiu was still wearing his khaki windbreaker today and walked out of the elevator with his hands in his pockets.
A month later, Tsuchimikado’s scarred mind had been healed, and he appeared on the throne of No. 10 without changing his expression or mood. When Zong Jiu passed by, he was still holding a glass of happy fat water with ice.
“Want a drink?”
The Yin-Yang Master raised the cup in his hand towards him.
“No need.”
After Zong Jiu refused, he walked to his seat and sat down, quietly waiting for the start of the instance.
Before sitting down, he specifically glanced sideways at No. 1’s position.
Ever since the Devil publicly stated that he was withdrawing from the player bench, the No. 1 position had become ownerless.
Even his former room in the trainee dormitory had a new No. 1 room added, and the original Devil’s room became the exclusive room for the Instructor.
The system also gave a special reminder No. 9, saying that the adjustment of the dormitory will not affect the use of the original room card.
Soon, the cold voice of the system came from the hall.
[The time is up and the broadcasting hall has been blocked]
The surrounding tapestry curtains slowly fell, blocking the light source projected from the window.
The nervous faces of the trainees became more serious, and a tense atmosphere lingered among them.
[Determining and removing bloodline abilities from trainees and temporarily banning special props, please wait…]
All the trainees with special bloodlines felt heavy all over.
Van Zhuo, who was sitting on the second throne, had a firm expression and was unmoved.
He had long asked all the Night Clan members to release their bloodline abilities in advance in the past month. They also entered the system’s combat simulation room for no less than an hour of training every day in order to prevent their bodies from being unable to adapt to the new instance.
Soon, all the trainees were restored to their original state.
Zong Jiu lowered his head, moved his hands, and skillfully opened a new deck of cards.
It wasn’t much different from when there was no problem with his hand in his previous life, except that his flexibility was greatly reduced compared to before it was strengthened.
In other words, it was possible to show card magic now, but it would be a dream to throw out a card and pin someone to the wall as easily as before.
As long as his hands were fine.
Zong Jiu put the cards back into his pocket without much care.
[Then we will start extracting the main tasks…]
[Asking the trainees to turn the two ten-sided dice in their hands to pass a lucky test]
[Each trainee’s luck value and sanity value are both 50 points]
[The smaller the points, the less difficult the main task of the next instance will be. The greater the points, the greater the difficulty of the main mission of the next instance]
Tsuchimikado, who had released the ability of Yin-Yang Master, was eager to try.
Thanks for the chapter 😄
Thank you for the chapter! ❤️
