Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 278 Open the Gate! Unleash the Fourth Calamity!
Chosen Space, the central area of ​​the mission.

In the bounty list, which is only visible to players of Iron rank and above, a red-highlighted task has suddenly appeared at the very top of all the tasks.

It's currently the early stage of a new month, and it overlaps with the auction day, so the number of people in the space is even higher than usual. Many independent players and player groups are consciously paying attention to the refresh of bounty missions, and this special mission marked in red immediately came into their view.

[Bounty Mission: Ys Origins - The Twin Towers]

[Mission Description: Due to the interference of the Dark Clan, an evil black tower capable of housing and producing monsters has been erected on the twisted earth. In order to fight against it, the Twin Goddesses built a righteous white tower. Your mission is to help the Twin Goddesses' forces resist the surging tide of monster armies.]

[Dungeon Blueprint: Ys Origins]

[Keywords: Counter-Attack Tower Defense PVE - Players will join the "Twin Goddesses" faction, currently at a significant disadvantage, as reinforcements from another dimension, to fight against the "Dark Clan." Players must defend the Twin Goddesses' stronghold, the "White Tower," while resisting and defeating hordes of monsters, counter-attacking the enemy, and ultimately conquering the "Black Tower" and its builder. If the player's "White Tower" and the Twin Goddesses are captured, the mission will be considered a forced failure, and the player will lose all gains within the instance and be forced to evacuate.]

Soul Shards – In addition to the chance to drop treasure chests, players will always drop a special resource called "Soul Shards" when they kill any monster. This resource will be automatically picked up and recorded under the killer's name. Players can consume a corresponding number of Soul Shards to purchase special options, including but not limited to "Consumables (HP recovery, MP recovery)", "Goddess's Blessing (various types)", and "Summoning an NPC projection with whom the player has established a friendly or higher personal reputation". Drops from monsters killed by the player's summoned NPC projection will also be counted as the player's drops. Some NPC projections are unique and can only be summoned again after being killed, while the killing of an NPC projection will not affect the original NPC. NPC projections are not subject to the restrictions of the "Knights and Witches" entry.

Cleria Ore—the foundation of the ancient Kingdom of Ys and the source of monster generation—will appear as a rare drop from monster chests. This ore is essentially enchanted mithril and can be used in various situations. Players can submit Cleria Ore to the Twin Goddesses/Sacred Beast Lu/Six Priestess Gema family in exchange for equipment and item enhancements. Enhancement success is 100% up to +7; the success rate decreases above +7, but at least a 10% enhancement success rate bonus will be retained.

Knights and sorcerers - omitted.

No-Fly Twin Towers – equivalent to No-Fly Black Tower, but the no-fly zone extends to both the twin black and white towers.

[Entry Requirements: Iron/Bronze rank, white-name player, entry fee 1 gold, 10-man limit, 10-minute countdown before entry.]

As the highlight of the month-end auction, the "Crimson Chaos Wand" is probably more memorable than the "Angel's Clothes" that was the final item on the list.

Angelic garments are unattainable for most people, but the Crimson Chaos Wand gives certain wealthy individuals the illusion that it's not unaffordable with a little effort.

Moreover, its permanent bonus is even more powerful than some regular main story missions, so it's something to talk about for quite some time.

Based on this, some players paid extra attention to the black pearl fragment delivered by the third buyer whom Cheng Tian ultimately chose.

Exploring a brand new, completely unknown instance may yield high rewards, but it also comes with uncertain risks. It is a realm that only true adventurers and those who are very confident in themselves dare to venture into.

The reactions of the players who were waiting in the bounty dungeons when they saw the Ys Origins dungeon appear were quite amusing.

The entry requirements seemed stringent, with player rank restrictions, a hefty entry fee, and the requirement to be a "white-name" player, etc. However, when the target audience was expanded to include all players in the "Chosen One" category, the number of players who met the requirements was plentiful. In less than a minute, all 10 slots were filled, leaving many players who only learned about the dungeon later, upon arriving and reading the dungeon descriptions, utterly disappointed.

The dungeon features several keywords that players have never seen before, but anyone who isn't a complete newbie can immediately grasp the special nature of these keywords.

"Hash Tower Defense" represents another form of faction confrontation. However, because the Dark Clan's forces and strength are overwhelmingly stronger than the Twin Goddesses' side in the dungeon, player intervention is not required at all. Therefore, what should have been a "Hash Tower Defense PVP" format has become a "Hash Tower Defense PVE" format.

The "Soul Shards" are quite novel. Besides being able to buy supplies and buffs for themselves, they can also experience the feeling of being a summoner. However, the specifics need to be confirmed after entering the instance. Those who couldn't enter the instance can only wait outside.

The "Cleria Ore" attribute, which allows for permanent upgrades to equipment and items, is obviously extremely attractive to all players, including even those at the Bronze level and above.

As for the terms "Knights and Sorcerers" and "No-Fly Twin Towers," these restrict players and venues respectively, further narrowing down the pool of eligible players.

Compared to those players who are lamenting and beating their chests at the mission center service desk, those who have successfully secured a spot are already making the most of the last 10 minutes to stock up on supplies.

Those who can decisively pay the 1 entry fee will have some surplus, enough to buy supplies and essence potions.

As the teleportation light shone, the 10 players entered the instance one after another, and then appeared almost simultaneously in the center of the plaza at the bottom of the White Tower.

Not only are there players here, but also a group of "knights" and "magicians" NPCs dressed in a very magical style, waiting around.

Upon discovering their presence, these NPCs displayed remarkable enthusiasm, treating them as comrades—a rare occurrence even for players who typically start on the righteous side.

After a brief exchange, the players learned that the power system of this world was typical of medieval fantasy, and that the knight class was essentially a magic knight who was proficient in both physical and magical combat, with magic being the source of power for both physical and magical classes.

However, just as the players thought that the gentle man whom the NPCs called "High Priest" was the main person in charge of the current faction besides the Twin Goddesses, the NPCs' noise suddenly stopped.

Following the NPCs' gaze, everyone saw a person wearing a peculiar mask step out of the white tower.

Meanwhile, a fully armed shield guard named Oglin, who stood out in the crowd, felt a strange sense of familiarity about the newcomer.
