An invasion from the Abyss? I, a demonic cultivator, laughed.

Chapter 58 The Greatest Opportunity
The next day, after a good night's sleep, Chu Xiu, who had completely relaxed, returned to school.

Each returning trial participant will be questioned in detail about their experience during the trial.

The government will send specialists to integrate this information and create a map of the trial grounds, including the locations of various teleportation points and Awakened Ones, as well as the locations of monster hordes and high-level monsters. Based on this map, a reasonable plan will be developed to help the trial participants improve their strength and unite everyone's efforts to conquer the world mission.

"Name?"

"Chu Xiu".

"Student ID?"

"17352009."

"Professional talent?"

"Bone assembler (D), bone grinder (D)".

"Oh? A very rare talent. Are you sure that's the name?"

"Ah."

"Okay, then tell me about your experience in the abyss."

"My initial teleportation point was in an apartment building."

As Chu Xiu spoke, he observed the person opposite him.

This appears to be an experienced Awakened One, at least of the Warrior rank, with a pair of calm, dark eyes that seem to see right through a person's heart.

But Chu Xiu still chose to lie without hesitation.

With his Qi Concealment Technique, he remained calm as long as no Awakened being of the Fierce Rank or higher used their detection skills on him.

It is said that in the beginning, every Awakener who returned safely from the Awakening Trial had to register their true information. There were professions with investigative skills, such as wizards and spyers, to ensure that no one lied.

However, people later discovered that no matter how well this information was kept secret, it would inevitably leak out, making the growth and upgrade environment for highly talented awakened individuals extremely poor. After several tragic cases of talents and professions being stripped away, the upper class could no longer sit still.

First, the conglomerates and powerful families began to block information about their own children and refused to submit it to the government. Then, the high-level awakened individuals and ordinary children also tried to conceal their identities. In addition, as the scope of the trials expanded, the reconnaissance profession gradually became insufficient.

Now, the government's purpose in collecting information has changed from "regulation" to "assistance".

You can lie about your information, or even refuse to report it altogether, and nobody cares. The government is only responsible for helping you plan how to act better next.

Of course, if you want to join a large conglomerate or a high-welfare talent development program, you must undergo inspection. Otherwise, if all E and F level professions could claim to be S level, wouldn't that create chaos?

Therefore, the registration officer on the other side did not dwell on Chu Xiu's attributes, but was more concerned with his experiences in the abyss, the surrounding terrain, the distribution of corpses, and other information.

Chu Xiu did not hide anything from this, but repeated what he had told Shen Zhuo and the others.

Upon hearing that Chu Xiu, with the talent of a low-grade support class, had managed to reach level 6 without any extra resources at the start of the game, the Awakened One on the other side, responsible for registration, couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

He sincerely suggested, "When the unions of major corporations are recruiting, you can make your resume look better and include all these experiences. Even though your talents and professional skills are only at the D level, you might still get noticed."

"You can also participate in the skills assessment and get a temporary contract based on your own abilities."

"Yes, thank you, senior."

After that, the registrar got down to business.

"Chu, do you know what our primary task is right now?" Chu Xiu shook his head.

The registrar picked up a sign with four large characters written on it.

World Mission

"Only by completing the world quest can the trial world be preserved."

"Whether you plan to challenge yourself to a higher level or just want to work a stable job and make money, this is the only thing you need to consider going forward," he said, pointing to the sign.

The registrar's words made Chu Xiu's expression turn serious, and he realized the gravity of the matter.

The act of an Awakened One exploring the Abyss is called "Deep Dive".

During deep-sea diving, you will generally encounter three situations: [Complete World], [World Fragment], and [Abyss Projection].

Of course, it is said that when diving to the deepest part of the abyss, there is a small chance of encountering some strange situations, or even seeing some higher-dimensional creatures, but these are too far away from Chu Xiu and can be basically ignored.

Of the three scenarios mentioned above, the first two are extremely rare. If you randomly dive deep into the Awakening Space, you will encounter the [Abyss Projection] 99.99% of the time.

The so-called "Abyss Projection" is a dungeon created by the Abyss. The items inside are just remnants of the past. Although it will restore the original world one-to-one, the experience and drop rate will be far different.

When Awakened Ones say they're "going into a dungeon," they're usually referring to going to the [Abyss Projection].

Once you clear the [Abyss Projection] once, you can leave your mark and enter it repeatedly. You can also choose different difficulties. Of course, the monsters will refresh each time, which has a lot of randomness. Even if you have cleared some dungeons a hundred times, you may still fail on the hundred and first time.

The "Complete World" and the "World Fragment" are actual, real-world entities, both of which are extremely valuable. Once discovered, they are usually seized by powerful forces.

Generally speaking, a large-scale awakening trial can discover the [complete world] with 100% certainty, while an advancement trial can discover [world fragments] with 100% certainty. The higher the rank, the larger the [world fragments] discovered during the advancement.

Taking the world of Shiki as an example, the trial for advancing to the Warrior rank might only give you a building, while the trial for advancing to the General rank might give you an entire city!
A complete world contains resources that are far beyond what ordinary instances can offer.

Once the world mission is completed, a permanent "anchor point" can be established, allowing all Awakened Ones participating in this trial to enter at any time, although there will be a cooldown period each time they enter.

For example, Chu Xiu still needs to wait 12.8 days before he can enter again.

However, if the world mission is not completed within thirty days, everyone's temporary [anchor point] will disappear.

Without the [anchor point], these awakened individuals can only explore the abyss by [deep diving], which greatly increases the risk while the rewards decrease significantly!
The unknown is the most terrifying thing. No one knows what they will encounter while diving into the abyss. But if you possess a complete world, you can earn a considerable income even if you just stay in the stronghold and do some manual labor.

Therefore, the primary goal for everyone right now is to do everything in their power to complete the world mission and preserve the world of Shiki.

Of course, there is competition involved.

If you can complete the world mission, the Abyss will automatically evaluate everyone's contribution and issue rewards. In addition to the mission rewards, the top 30 will receive a [Location Anchor Point], the top 10 will receive a [Advanced Location Anchor Point], and the first place will receive a [Core Location Anchor Point].

The purpose of these anchors is to allow outsiders to enter the world of Shiki through certain special tools. The higher the level of the anchor, the greater its power.

Therefore, major powers, including governments, will place bets in advance, funding those with high talent to help them complete world missions.

If your faction can acquire a high-level [anchor point], it can instantly recoup its initial investment and generate huge profits through continued exploration in the future.

And this is naturally reciprocal; awakened individuals with a [positioning anchor] will receive a steady stream of benefits in the future, even if they do nothing.

It can be said that world quests are the most important opportunities for all awakened individuals in the early stages!
