Chapter 114 Trial Rewards!
"Oh right, I also need to confirm whether the mission countdown is calculated according to the time inside." Su Yu suddenly thought of this.
He had subconsciously assumed that the mission countdown should be calculated based on the number of days listed.
However, it's also possible that the time is calculated based on external time, since he took on the task outside.
Su Yu opened the task panel and checked the task countdown.
"Hmm? It's calculated according to the outside time." Su Yu was somewhat surprised.
He had been in the Crimson Trial for almost ten minutes, but the mission countdown only showed that a little over three minutes had passed.
This is clearly calculated according to the outside time.
Based on this calculation, he spent eleven days in the Crimson Trial, meaning that less than four days had actually passed before the mission countdown ended.
If one can truly achieve first place on the Hidden Dragon Ranking in the Crimson Trial, it's equivalent to completing a fifteen-day mission in less than four days.
According to the task prompts, the shorter the time to complete the task, the richer the reward.
If he can complete the task in less than a third of the time, the task reward will definitely be far beyond the normal level.
This was definitely an unexpected bonus for him.
"Brother Yu Huang." Old Wang's voice pulled Su Yu back to reality.
"Did you suddenly think of something important?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing, please continue. I just had a sudden idea."
"Then I'll continue." Old Wang paused, then said, "The Crimson Trial is divided into three levels: the outer level, the middle level, and the inner level."
"The place we are in now is the outer layer."
"The level of the blood beasts on the outer layer is mainly concentrated between level 35 and 45, and the number of level 50 blood beasts is relatively small."
"We must have been incredibly unlucky to encounter so many level 50 blood beasts at once. We probably stumbled into their lair."
"You need to reach 10,000 points to enter the middle level."
"All the monsters inside are level 50 to 60, and there are quite a few elites and bosses among them."
"Moreover, the BOSSes in the middle level are at least of the gold level, and each one is extremely powerful. Even experts who can enter the middle level would mostly have to flee in panic if they encountered them."
"As for entering the inner layer, the conditions are even more stringent; you must be ranked in the top 100 in points to be eligible to enter."
"And even if you enter the inner layer, once your ranking drops to 110th, you will still be teleported to the middle layer by the trial rules."
"You can only re-enter the inner tier once your ranking returns to the top 100."
"I don't know much about the inner layer. I only know that all the blood beasts inside are level 60, but their attributes are stronger than those of the same level blood beasts in the middle layer."
"Moreover, the inner layer is full of elites, and gold-level BOSSes are not uncommon. I heard that there are even epic-level BOSSes inside."
"An epic-level boss?" Su Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
The first stage of the Shadow Archer's class advancement quest requires him to kill 10 epic-level bosses of level 50 or higher.
Perhaps this time, entering the Crimson Trial will allow him to complete this task as well.
If he could complete two tasks at the same time, it would be a huge win for him.
Old Wang didn't notice the fleeting glint in Su Yu's eyes and continued to say to himself, "Besides the high threshold and the strength of the blood beasts, there is another special rule in the inner layer."
"Once you enter the inner layer, you will continuously suffer true damage every second, and this state cannot be cleansed; it can only be recovered through potions, skills, talents, or other means."
"If you don't have a means of recovery, then you must prepare a large quantity of medicine in advance."
Su Yu nodded. He had 3% physical life steal, which could barely be considered a means of recovery.
With his damage output, a single Soul-Severing Arrow, which consumes a thousand times the mana, could restore at least several hundred thousand health points.
Isn't this better than regular recovery skills?
Old Wang cleared his throat and continued, "Now that I've covered the basic information about the Crimson Trial, I'll talk about something Brother Yu Huang should be interested in: the rewards of the Crimson Trial."
"Rewards will be distributed based on the ranking of points after the Crimson Trial ends."
"The person ranked first will receive a divine-level resource of their choice, as well as three bottles of high-grade soul liquid." Old Wang's eyes lit up as he said this.
The reward for ranking first in the Crimson Trial is something even the top figures on the Tianlong Continent would envy.
"A bottle of high-grade soul liquid can increase lifespan by one hundred years," Old Li added from the side.
A hint of longing flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
A god-tier resource of your choice and a lifespan of three hundred years—this reward is incredibly generous.
You should know that he has never obtained a single god-level resource until now, but he never expected to have the opportunity to obtain one here.
It seems this Crimson Trial is truly a treasure trove.
"The second-ranked player will receive three legendary resources of their choice, as well as three bottles of high-grade soul liquid."
"The third-ranked player will receive a legendary resource of their choice, as well as three bottles of high-grade soul liquid."
"Those ranked fourth and fifth will receive three epic-level resources of their choice, as well as two bottles of high-grade soul liquid."
"Those ranked sixth to tenth will receive an epic-level resource of their choice, as well as a bottle of high-grade soul liquid."
"Ranked eleventh to..."
"Old Wang, let's not talk about anything after tenth place for now," Su Yu interrupted Old Wang with a smile.
He didn't want to hear about the rewards for ranking tenth and below; he figured he wouldn't even get a single epic resource of the selectable type.
With his current strength, he no longer cares about low-level resources.
Old Wang was startled when Su Yu interrupted him, then grinned.
He patted his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "That's true. With Brother Yu Huang's strength, the rewards for those ranked after the top ten aren't really that impressive. I was being long-winded."
He paused, then added, "But Brother Yu, the competition for the top ten won't be easy."
"The top dozen or so territories on the Tianlong Continent send their most core members in every year."
"Those people were accompanied by an entire support team from the first day they entered the trial, and there were even people specifically helping them collect blood crystals."
"They are an entire faction vying for ranking rewards."
"For casual players like us, we can only get a small share of the profits. Even with the Yu Emperor brothers' terrifying strength, it would be extremely difficult for them to break into the top ten."
"After all, you are just one person, while they are an entire force."
