Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start-Chapter 144 - 136 Star Boosting! (Two in one) _2
However, the methods for accepting tasks were now all unknown.
The highest difficulty offered an SSS-level reward plus an SS level reward.
The next difficulty level provided an SS level reward plus an S-level reward.
The lowest difficulty offered an S-level reward plus two A-Class rewards.
However, the current lowest difficulty was now as high as the previous SS level reward difficulty.
This was primarily because the fusion of instances had significantly increased the overall combat power of the monsters.
Of course, there was also a simpler way to directly obtain the top-tier reward.
That was to kill all professionals from other Star Systems within the dungeon.
Once all professionals from other Star Systems were successfully killed, the dungeon would be considered cleared, eliminating the need to complete its internal tasks.
However, this was very difficult. First, one had to prevent anyone from escaping.
If even one person escaped, the dungeon could not be ended directly; one would have to resort to completing the dungeon’s tasks.
However, the Aliens killed previously were not a wasted effort.
After completing the dungeon tasks, the more Aliens one had previously killed, the higher the chance of receiving better rewards.
If one was doing an S-level reward task, the reward might be upgraded to SS level.
If doing an SS level task, the reward might be upgraded to SSS-level.
Therefore, once inside a Stars Dungeon, dealing with Aliens was of paramount importance.
Killing Aliens not only improved rewards but also allowed for harvesting dropped items, offering substantial benefits.
Of course, one wouldn’t always be as fortunate as this time, with a rule of the Stars Dungeon conveniently restricting Teleportation or escape.
If the rules of the Stars Dungeon didn’t restrict Teleportation or exiting, many people, upon discovering they were in a Stars Dungeon, would immediately use a Dungeon Leave Talisman to escape for their survival.
This was the case with Lin Ranhai moments ago.
In such cases, it was difficult to gain benefits from Aliens.
Regardless, the advent of Stars Dungeons undoubtedly brought greater benefits to the strong.
Whether the Aliens fled or not, the new dungeon formed from the fusion of multiple instances offered quite substantial task rewards.
However, for the weak, it was a nightmare.
They would feel particularly desperate in situations where escape was impossible, much like Lin Ranhai currently.
"Even the lowest-level main tasks are hard to complete now." Lin Ranhai looked at the enhanced main task, which now required traversing three dungeon areas, giving him a headache.
If they rushed over, wouldn’t those two Alien teams come directly to kill the two of them?
This task was simply impossible to complete.
"Let’s do the Dark King task line," Chen Mo said after reading through all the tasks.
"Dark King!?" Lin Ranhai immediately checked the task description. "No way! This is a high-difficulty task line. According to the description, this line alone has several golden-grade BOSS at the peak of the first-transition. Even a hundred-person team might not be able to complete this task."
"That’s exactly the effect we want. This task is likely to trigger more powerful BOSSes; we can use the strategy of ’setting the tigers to devour the wolves’!"
"You mean using the monsters to deal with them?" Lin Ranhai’s eyes lit up. "That’s not a bad idea! We’re isolated and helpless right now; a direct confrontation would be certain death. If we could lure them into fighting the BOSSes, we might have a slim chance of survival."
While the two were talking, they noticed a change in the coordinates of the hundred-person team.
"They seem to be coming our way," Lin Ranhai said nervously, looking at the hundred-person team’s movement.
"Don’t worry, they’re still far away. It would take them at least half a day to get here. Let’s focus on our tasks first."
"The twenty-person team on the right isn’t showing any movement."
Lin Ranhai commented, looking at the other team’s situation.
"I suspect that team is also intimidated by this hundred-person team. They’re probably waiting for the hundred-person team to kill us so they can use a Dungeon Leave Talisman to escape immediately."
"Those guys are sharp! If there weren’t so many of them, we should have gone over and dealt with them first. Once the people from the Kaiyang Star System are dead, our coordinates would become hidden, and we’d have plenty of opportunities to ambush these guys from the Yongming Star System."
"It’s not an issue now. Our coordinates are exposed, so the people from the Yongming Star System will come straight for us, which fits our plan perfectly."
With that said, Chen Mo turned and walked towards the nearby town. Although they had chosen a task, they didn’t know where to accept it and could only explore on their own.
Watching Chen Mo walk fearlessly into the town by herself, Lin Ranhai felt, for the first time, so powerless in front of a girl.
It was as if from the moment he entered the dungeon, he had been relegated to the role of a follower.
Is this the characteristic of an aristocratic family’s daughter? Making people instinctively want to follow her lead.
Looking at Chen Mo’s retreating figure, he couldn’t help but sigh to himself.
「In the small town.」
It was already a scene of devastation, with collapsed houses and ruins everywhere. Virtually no living beings were in sight.
Walking along the flagstone path toward the town center, Chen Mo saw an inverted crucifix, covered in a strange, viscous black liquid, thrust into the ground.
"This town looks rather eerie," Lin Ranhai remarked, feeling a wave of discomfort.
"After all, it’s a dark-themed dungeon."
Chen Mo, however, was unfazed; she was currently using her Pioneer ability to sense her surroundings.
The town was quite large, and Chen Mo’s perception range wasn’t enough to cover it entirely.
After scanning for a while and covering more than half the town, Chen Mo finally detected a living creature.
What is this thing?
Although it was a living creature, it wasn’t human.
It was a dark, writhing mass of strange flesh.
It somewhat resembled a legendary slime, but unlike a slime’s amorphous form, this thing had distinct human-like tissues.
These included eyes, strange tufts of hair, and twisted limbs.
However, all these features were haphazardly distributed across the fleshy mass.
It looked as if a person had been put through a blender and then reformed into this grotesque creature.
The sight alone was enough to cause nausea and make one’s skin crawl.
This creature was currently hiding in the town’s only abandoned shrine, its activities unknown.
Despite its repulsive appearance, it was the only living creature in town, so she had to investigate if it held any clues.
Since Lin Ranhai lacked Chen Mo’s powerful perception ability, he was busy searching around.
While Lin Ranhai searched, Chen Mo headed towards the shrine, taking the opportunity to synthesize her Holy Corpse Army Skill.
After all, she had gathered all the materials and spent some money using the Token Function to create two Holy Corpse Army skill books.
[Congratulations, synthesis successful!]
[Please select one of the following three synthesis options as the final result!]
[One]: Shared Fate Undead Army·Red (Bound)
[Two]: Immortal Undead Army·Red (Bound)
[Three]: Unity Undead Army·Red (Bound)
[Four]: Reroll special bonus (free)
The Shared Fate Undead Army had the same effect as Chen Mo’s Shared Fate Magic Wand, so there was no need for her to choose it at the moment.
After all, she had no plans to change her Magic Wand.
The Immortal Undead Army would make the duration of summoned Skeleton Monsters infinite.
This wasn’t particularly useful either, as Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters already lasted for a very long time.
This skill couldn’t stack summons; recasting it would refresh the previously summoned monsters, making an infinite duration largely meaningless.
The third option, however, was exactly what Chen Mo desired.
Unity Undead Army allowed Chen Mo and her Skeleton Monsters to share perception.
Skeleton Monsters had no eyes and relied solely on perception to discern their surroundings. Now, Chen Mo could synchronize with all their perceptual information.
This effectively turned every Skeleton Monster into a mobile sensor for Chen Mo.
Moreover, it was a sensor with a considerable range.
Each Skeleton Monster had a perception range of one hundred meters. If they were all dispersed, Chen Mo’s overall perception coverage would increase significantly.
Of course, the Skeleton Monsters’ perception ability couldn’t compare to her Pioneer ability.
After all, they couldn’t perceive invisible units or detailed information, essentially only functioning as an extension of her sight.
