Chapter 25: The Astounding Pollution Level!

Shen Ye opened his control panel.

Name: Shen Ye

[Level: 5]

Mortal Nature: Not yet unlocked (Mortal Nature will be unlocked at level 20)

【HP: 100%】

[Stamina: 13/13]

【Strength: 7】

[Agility: 10]

[Pollution level: 16879]

[Evolution Points: 10 (2 base points are gained per level, 5 times the points are gained with contaminated mutations)]

Pollution level: 16879.

Shen Ye looked at this column and raised an eyebrow.

To be honest, the pollution level is lower than I expected. I remember when I controlled over a thousand pollution monsters, it only rose to around 5000. It only reached 10,000 after they all self-destructed.

In terms of the magnitude of the price increase, the pollution impact brought about by the ceremony arranged by Chen Qingshan was greater.

"But that's normal. Pollution levels aren't just about quantity, but also about intensity." Shen Ye had already noticed this before.

Each pollutant has an upper limit; the closer you get to that value, the smaller the increase it will cause.

"and...."

Shen Ye gazed intently into the shadows outside the ship, where he could now see phantom images and hear whispers in his ears.

High pollution levels do indeed have an impact.

However... his mental state remained perfectly fine; these were merely images and sounds, and they did not cause any emotional fluctuation in him.

"We don't know what will happen next..."

High risk often comes with high reward; this is the cruel rule by which Shenlifang operates.

Shen Ye's gaze fell on [Evolution Points: 10].

These 10 evolution points are one of the potential rewards brought by high pollution—they cannot be immediately converted into combat power, but require him to advance and upgrade step by step to gradually transform this "potential" into real strength and value.

Shen Ye turned his attention to the spoils of this trip.

The first item to appear in the inventory is a uniquely designed ring that exudes an air of nobility.

It was a bright red, moon-shaped piece of jade, the very thing the bandaged man had thrown to him before he fled.

【Title: Scarlet Dawn】

【Type: Jewelry】

[Quality: Legendary]

[Effect: Wearing this ring will conceal your aura, making your stats undetectable to beings below the [King's Blood] rank. It also allows you to adjust your physique and appearance by 20%, and freely change your clothing.]

[PS: This artifact belongs to the royal family of Xiaoyue Kingdom. It was forged thousands of years ago on a night when the eternal night and the blood moon shone together, and it contains the deep affection buried in the heart of the person who forged it.]

"Legendary quality..."

Shen Ye stroked the ring's cool surface; this time, he was genuinely surprised.

His Highness the Bandaged Ones... is surprisingly generous.

"Concealing one's presence, immune to detection, and even altering one's shape and appearance by about 20%... Good stuff."

Of course, the fact that the clothing can be adjusted at will shows that the person who made this ring most likely intended it for a woman; they really know their stuff.

In short.

The value of this ring is self-evident.

"King Blood Rank..." Shen Ye looked at these words: "This should correspond to the Mortal Attribute section, which hasn't been unlocked yet..."

Since it hasn't been unlocked yet, let's leave it for now.

Shen Ye's consciousness swept to the next item in the inventory.

He raised an eyebrow.

A cold, slippery, eyeball-shaped object, seemingly still possessing the feel of a living being, lay there quietly.

"How did I end up bringing this thing out with me?"

【Name: Evil Eye】

[Type: Living Entity]

[Effect: When placed on anything called a 'door,' it can be sealed. It can only be opened by the user's command or...]

[PS: Although it has now signed a contract with you, don't forget, it's a terrifying demon... Be careful! It might turn against you!]

And seemed to notice Shen Ye's gaze.

The eyeball began to roll, blood gushing wildly from its terrifying center, staring intently at Shen Ye and emitting eerie sounds:

"Hehehe..."

"I never imagined... that I would be controlled by such a weak person..."

"But kid, are you sure you're qualified to look me in the eye!?"

It is emitting alarming pollution! All sorts of illusory, whispering, and invisible blurs are assaulting Shen Ye!

I love these weak creatures. After they break down, they become my food, and then they can regain their freedom!

This isn't the first time it's done something like this. If it hadn't been caught by the Black Robe Society's administrator, it could have become even stronger!

Now...

It couldn't wait to see the familiar expression of fear and unease on Shen Ye's face!

But it lasted for half a minute.

Shen Ye showed no reaction, instead appearing somewhat uninterested: "Friend, is there anything new?"

"?" The Demon Eye was stunned. "Why aren't you reacting at all?"

"It's nothing."

Shen Ye calmly looked at the next item space.

"wait...."

The sound has been muted by the inventory space, and the next item...

【Name: Z's Gift】

[Type: Consumable Item]

[Effect 1: Can prevent one death (If the death effect is not triggered, starting from the highest difficulty level, you will receive a new reward for each time you complete a dungeon of a different difficulty, up to a maximum of four times)]

[Effect 2: You will receive a Z-level guidance every 20 levels!]

[PS: Little guy, I didn't expect you to complete your second gift so quickly, but... don't get arrogant, the nightmare is just beginning.]

"?"

This second gift... isn't it just empty promises? We can't get it right away.

but.

Even from the limited information gleaned from Mu Yunhai, it's clear that this Z is an unimaginably important figure, and his guidance is likely immeasurable in value.

After taking stock of the main items, Shen Ye turned his gaze to the biggest and most special reward of this trip—the gift for completing the hidden main quest.

[Hidden main storyline in Horror Park + first clear, plus 1 free draw]

Each lottery draw is the biggest reward for completing the main storyline and clearing dungeons, and its quality depends on various factors.

Shen Ye was quite looking forward to it, but... he wasn't in a hurry to draw the prize right now.

because.

"Bang..."

The ferry had already broken through the cold, chaotic sea, and the sound of its bells echoed in my ears, indicating that we were approaching a safe place.

A pop-up window reminding Shen Ye of reality appeared in his field of vision.

He opened his eyes.

Everyone had already stood up, ready to leave.

"We've finally arrived!"

"Finally... I can go home."

"Let's talk again when we get back."

"See you again, everyone."

The voices of the people present ranged from tired to excited to impatient.

And they all blend together harmoniously.

Especially when the word "home" is mentioned, everyone's eyes show a relaxed and reassuring feeling, after all, it's all about returning to the same place, the same world.

Regardless, everyone's gains were pretty good, and quite a few people experienced the same instance, so it seems they have already exchanged contacts.

Judging from Mu Yunhai and the other two, the ferry boat has a team-up function.

"Shen Ye."

Mu Yunhai's voice rang out, and he looked at Shen Ye seriously, saying:

"Remember the time and place we agreed to meet."

"It's not just about that instanced world, there's also... something very important I need to discuss with you in detail."
