Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 231 Enemy Faction - Kingdom of Death
If things had gone smoothly, Chu Danqing would have stayed here until the mission was over, but unfortunately, a new trial mission has arrived.

Fortunately, participation is not mandatory, but the trial mode has changed.
-
[Announcement: Peace Mode changed to Cooperative Mode]

Any personal acts of malice towards apostles of one's own dimension will be punished.

[First offense: Warning issued; second offense: 1 point deducted from all attributes; third offense: Forced expulsion and deduction of 10% of the total gains from this trial]

If significant losses have occurred, such as a loss of control or the death of an apostle carrying out an important mission, then severe punishment (including execution) will be imposed according to the regulations.
-
[Trial Mission: Slay all Death Messengers from the Land of the Dead before returning]

[Trial Difficulty: F~S Rank (Very Easy~Nightmare)]

[Trial Rewards: 10000 Paradise Points and 1 Universal Skill Point for each kill]

[Trial Failed: None]

(Note: Defeating the Death Messenger in the Kingdom of Death will always drop a Blood Chest)
(Note: The enemy is powerful, so cooperation is recommended. Rewards will not be reduced after defeating the enemy, including the Bloody Treasure Chest.)
(Note: Rewards will be awarded based on a minimum contribution level; those who do not contribute sufficiently will not receive the reward.)
-
[Detection revealed the Apostle's first contact with the Death Kingdom faction; relevant data is now available.]
-
Trial missions are mandatory, but hidden, side quests, and chain missions can be declined.

However, Chu Danqing can choose to return or ignore this trial mission if he wishes.

After all, this is only a cooperative mode; this treatment won't be available in war mode.

Chu Danqing didn't have time to deal with these things right now; instead, she was looking at the information on the Death Kingdom faction.

"I was wondering why this trial world was so hellish; it turns out it was stolen from the Kingdom of Death," Chu Danqing muttered.

Unlike the diverse and vibrant world of Dimensional Paradise, the Kingdom of Death focuses on a system of eerie and mysterious underworld elements.

Although they can be resurrected after becoming Deathwalkers, their enhancements are very limited.

For example, raising ghosts and driving corpses, undead skeletons, etc., are not really from the mortal world.

Some even transform into zombies, ghost cultivators, undead, and other species.

Furthermore, the trial worlds they enter all possess this kind of brutal and terrifying worldview, coupled with high-pressure missions, basically causing their minds to become twisted by the time they reach level 1.

Those with kind hearts wouldn't live to see this point.

As for strength, since Paradise has already said it's formidable, Chu Danqing naturally won't underestimate it.

It must be said that the amusement park is indeed very generous.

Even if a group of people gang up on and kill a Death Messenger, everyone gets a reward, and even a Bloody Treasure Chest is given to each person.

That greatly encourages cooperation.

But this also shows that the enemy is indeed strong. Well, it's also possible that the amusement park is really rich and generous.

At the same time, the public communication channel suddenly became lively.

Since there was no prior business relationship between us, it didn't matter to us.

But things are different now; only through cooperation can we maximize our benefits.

What? Go and wipe them all out all by yourself? If you're capable, you can intercept them all and no one will say anything. If you want to go and die, no one will stop you either.

No one questioned the park's warnings; everyone simply huddled together for warmth.

As long as you don't try to take advantage of the situation, everyone will receive a reward.

The only difference is that the items you get from the Blood Chest are different.

"The problem now is... where are they?" Chu Danqing also wanted a piece of the pie.

10,000 Paradise Points are worth one A-level mission. As for general skill points, Chu Danqing has never used them, so he is not very clear about their value.

He actually valued the Bloody Treasure Chest more.

Given the amusement park's generous attitude, the Bloody Treasure Chest is likely to yield quite a few good items.

Chu Danqing's gaze fell upon the attributes of the Great Bone.

During this period, all five attributes were raised to 12 points.

The main difficulty lies in improving the three attributes of strength, agility, and constitution, which has exhausted all the blood mud, dead insect liquid, and corpse monk relics he had previously obtained.

This can be considered a useful tool, so it's not a loss.

The only pity is that Da Gu's inherited skill, Nine Chapters of Heavenly Questions, did not upgrade, and Sorrowful Wind remains at LV.1.

Since time was limited, Chu Danqing naturally chose to prioritize improving her attributes.

Attributes are fundamental; without them, you can't think of anything else.

But that's enough for now, even if it's only level 1.

The damage from the Sorrowful Wind skill is primarily based on the Spirit attribute.

After receiving Chu Danqing's blessing and amplification, Da Gu's spirit attribute has increased to 33 points.

This only calculates the attribute bonuses; there are other bonuses included.

The single-target damage of the Sorrowful Wind skill is 3300 points, excluding other bonuses.

Chu Danqing invested so many resources and even sacrificed his own combat power; it would be a waste if he weren't strong.

As long as you become Chu Danqing's summoned creature, you will be able to enjoy a base attribute bonus of 30% of the average attribute of the apostles, 41% of the summoned creature's own attribute, and 11 points of all attributes.

Da Gu's base attributes are relatively low, so the 41% bonus from his own attributes isn't much. If it were Guo Ming, the value would be much higher.

This is also why he prioritizes improving attributes, since the power of percentage-based stats depends on the base value.

The attribute bonus of up to 41% is only 1 point higher than the average attribute bonus of Chu Danqing's apostles.

"Gather together?" Chu Danqing looked at the chat in the public communication channel. With the coordination of several forces, a complete plan was quickly formed. It meant that they had arranged for professional personnel to scout out the location area of ​​the Death Messenger in advance, and then they would push straight over there once everyone had gathered.

Everyone is aware of this, and they will leverage their numerical advantage whenever possible, rather than going it alone.

"But..." Chu Danqing glanced at the warning in the cooperative mode of the trial mission.

The fact that this was a malicious act committed on a private basis is quite telling.

If it is a large-scale malicious act, then the park is tacitly condoning it.

For example, using certain apostles as bait or suicide trucks will not trigger penalties as long as it is effective.

So, for powerful factions, would they choose their own apostles as targets?
Obviously not.

"With my strength, I should be a part of the bigger picture, not a sacrifice forced to consider the bigger picture." Chu Danqing wasn't afraid.

At worst, I can just get away and leave.

The reason for not choosing to summon Guo Ming is twofold: firstly, to avoid any mishaps, and secondly, to save money.

Third, eating alone can easily lead to choking.

Finally, this is also an opportunity to meet with fellow apostles.

Given the current situation, it seems inevitable that we will have to temporarily cooperate with other apostles in the future.

After all, the park will force everyone's interests to be aligned in the same direction, so why not save time and effort?

Just be more careful, lest you get scammed.

As for what will happen in future warfare if we don't engage in contact?
Soon after, a map was uploaded to the public chat channel.

The area is the outer perimeter of the Cangmang Ancient Ridge, which is the trial area for all the apostles this time.

Although the apostles were scattered in various locations due to their identities, none of these locations were outside the regional divisions.

"As expected, major powers all specialize in training apostles with detection abilities." Chu Danqing looked at the map; it was incredibly detailed.

Chu Danqing compared the locations based on the geographical environment and found that they were not far from the meeting point.

He then summoned beast-faced armored warriors and chariots.

"I'll give you directions," Chu Danqing said immediately.

The armored charioteer looked around and a troubled expression appeared on his face.

"My lord, this is a mountain road; the chariots cannot travel on it," the armored charioteer said helplessly.

Chariots and cavalry are suitable for plains. The Cangmang Ancient Ridge is a mountain range composed of jagged peaks. Unless the chariots can fly, their movement speed is not as fast as Chu Danqing walking.

Otherwise, if you go too fast, you're guaranteed to overturn.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing realized that he had been in the mountains for so long that he had forgotten he was in the mountains.

"Okay, I understand." Chu Danqing said, and then canceled both the beast-faced armored soldiers and the chariots.

He was thinking to himself that he needed to find a way to upgrade the quality of the Peace Ring, the Nine-Child Ghost Mother Diagram, the Beast-Faced War Chariot Token, and the Thousand-Faced Martial Shadow Stone to the Excellent level.

There is a way to obtain the Taiping Ring, as long as you can find the original Taiping Book.

He simply ignored this option; this thing was not something an ordinary person could obtain.

There are two solutions: find another excellent-grade summoning equipment and purchase a superior-quality equipment synthesizer to combine all five into one.

The resulting superior-grade equipment will be absolutely powerful.

However, this might cause the Ghost Mother, Ghost Infant, Beast-Faced Warrior, and Moon Orchid Martial Shadow to disappear.

The other option is to buy four Superior-grade Equipment Synthesizers and sixteen Fine-grade Summoning Equipment.

This is not a small expense.

"When we get back, I'll ask the Divine Might Heavenly King to see if he has found a solution that satisfies both the first and second criteria," Chu Danqing muttered.

If that's not possible, then Chu Danqing will have no choice but to suffer a huge financial loss.

I definitely can't keep the Dragon Soul Armor and the Dragon Eye of Calamity that I got from the Radiant Pattern Excellent-grade Treasure Chest.

These two pieces of equipment are definitely True Spirit equipment, and judging from their strength, there is a very high probability that their quality can be improved in the later stages of True Spirit awakening.

"Instead of cutting costs, we should increase revenue." Chu Danqing's expression hardened.

Cost-cutting may yield some results, but increasing revenue is the only true solution.

His gaze fell on the trial mission. If he wanted to open up new sources of information, he could only do so by killing the Death Messenger of the Death Kingdom faction.

"I was perfectly well-off before, but before I even got back to spend any money, I've already gone back to being poor." Chu Danqing felt that she was truly a spendthrift, unable to save a single penny.

Chu Danqing felt helpless, so she packed her things and took Da Bao, Da Gu, and Yue Lan Wu Ying to the meeting point.

The large bone was only the size of a book; it was a bit hard, but not very heavy, so Chu Danqing held it in his arms.

It can indeed hover and fly on its own, but with its small body, it's even more fragile than Chu Danqing; when it flies, it's no different from a target.

Anyway, Da Gu's Sorrowful Wind skill is a lock-on tracking skill, so Chu Danqing can use it to face the enemy head-on.

Actually, the back doesn't matter either, as the large bone can be controlled. The essence of the "Sorrowful Return" technique is the application of the inscription.
