Naturally, the 'A' ability 'Steroid Fury' was for offensive type contestants, while 'B' ability 'Mr Bodybuilder' was for defensive type contestants. For example, summoners and support type contestants would definitely choose 'B'. After contemplating, Sheyan still felt that as long as he was alive, anything was possible. Especially after experiencing the metallic tempest of the winged key, he understood this point. Hence, he chose 'B'.
*****
Following the nightmare imprint's notification, Sheyan quickly arrived at the plaza of the nightmare realm. After arriving at a designated area near the center of the realm, he stood still. All of a sudden, he felt a slight movement beneath his feet. The floor beneath his feet shockingly separated from its main body and rapidly ascended upwards. Then, three red tentacles automatically extended out from the bottom of the floor. They rapidly weaved into a sealed and spacious fence around Sheyan's front, back, left and right. Evidently, it was to prevent people from falling. Sheyan touched the fence with his hand. It felt like a steel core wrapped in a sponge. It was slightly warm, and the fence was extremely sturdy.
Riding this simple 'elevator', Sheyan ascended to the top of the realm. After reaching his destination, the floorboard beneath Sheyan's feet instantly dissolved into the nearby wall and disappeared. Ahead was a hexagonal metallic passageway. That metallic passageway gave off an unbreakable feeling, as though even time couldn't destroy it! After Sheyan entered, three dark green beams instantly appeared in front of him as they scanned his body. If he made any strange movements, he would immediately die.
At the end of the passageway, a metallic chair appeared. The chair was embedded with several large oval crystals. Sheyan sat down, and a virtual screen popped up in front of him.
"Confirming identity … …."
"Your current nightmare imprint rank is' Recruit '."
"You currently possess the qualifications to be promoted to the next rank, do you wish to be promoted immediately?"
"Yes."
"Your current nightmare imprint rank has been promoted to 'Private First Class'."
"You currently possess the qualifications to be promoted to the next rank, do you wish to be promoted immediately?"
"Yes."
.....
Following that, Sheyan consecutively skipped past the three hurdles of 'Corporal', 'Sergeant' and 'Staff Sergeant'.
50 achievement points was the threshold for promotion to Second Lieutenant. As for Sheyan, his achievement points had already reached 53 points, reaching the requirement for promotion. This time, the promotion from Staff Sergeant to Captain was not as simple as a simple promotion of one rank. Even in the real world, Second Lieutenant was the lowest military rank in most countries. It represented the transition from a soldier to an officer! Henceforth, he would become a leader instead of a follower!
Previously, the promotion of military rank was only announced by the virtual screen in front of him using a simple mechanical voice. But this time, chaotic interference appeared on the full-system virtual screen. After a while, a hoarse voice came from the other side.
"Wow, another guy who passed the preliminary trial. Cough, cough."
"Very good, very good. Let me see. Contestant no.1018, congratulations on successfully obtaining the rank of Second Lieutenant."
Sheyan was stunned.
"Who are you?"
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I'm not your enemy. In fact, I'm also a human like you. It's just that I came from the future."
"Future?" Sheyan was still confused.
The hoarse voice coughed twice and continued.
"That's right. Actually, strictly speaking, you can be considered as a mercenary from the past. However, your current strength has yet to reach our requirements. Once you've matured to a certain extent, we'll naturally contact you again. "
"Mercenary?" Sheyan's heart suddenly surged with rage. He recalled the various dangers he experienced in the nightmare realm, where life and death hung by a thread.
"You made us struggle between life and death, toying with our lives like ants! Is this considered a mercenary? "
"Don't be agitated, Second Lieutenant!" The opposite voice had obviously encountered many such situations, it calmly replied.
"To gain something, you must lose something. Those who can enter the realm, the majority of them have an extremely strong obsession or unwillingness in their hearts. They have a long history of suppressed anger and nowhere to vent it. We can satisfy your wishes, naturally we need you to fight for us. Isn't this a very fair trade? Take you as an example, has the nightmare realm ever forced you to do anything? "
"But ….." Sheyan was momentarily speechless.
The opposite hoarse voice insipidly continued.
"If you still feel that our actions are inappropriate, then I can give you a chance. You can immediately leave the realm, the imprint on your chest will be erased, and your memories here will be erased. You can still return to the 21st century life of an ordinary person. "
"No!" Sheyan was horrified, he subconsciously shouted out. "I haven't obtained the medicine to restore Uncle Dasi's crippled arm! How can I leave? "
“OK，OK。” The hoarse voice chuckled. "You see, you see, our relationship is still a fair trade."
"….. Fine, I understand. I take back my words." Sheyan dejectedly replied. "Confer me a title."
The hoarse voice praised.
"Very good. The next time we meet, I hope you've already matured to a level where you can fight for us. You must know, the place where you can earn the most achievement points, is on our battlefield. "
"My last piece of advice is purely for you, 2nd Lieutenant. Usually, only a few talented contestants are able to receive such preferential treatment."
Sheyan earnestly nodded.
"I will keep it in my heart."
"Cherish your achievement points, like how you cherish your lover's vagina. Allocate it stingily and treat it well, if not ….. trust me, you will definitely regret your squandering in the near future."
Sheyan suddenly recalled something and asked, "That's right.
"I've already received the notification that achievement points can be traded, perhaps it's not a bad choice to purchase some?"
The hoarse voice insipidly replied.
"We don't encourage the trading of achievement points, that's a foolish idea. Moreover, you're already a Second Lieutenant, you can't trade with others. Eh, let's put it this way. The reason why we opened up the trading of achievement points for soldiers, is to increase their initial survival rate. Due to your current level of authority, I can only tell you that Second Lieutenants who are promoted through trading will never be able to receive our recognition and personal awards. Furthermore, they will only receive a few promotions, which is mainly set up so that they can form teams … I've said enough. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope to see you again, Second Lieutenant. "
Following that, a notification sounded in Sheyan's ears.
"You have been promoted to Second Lieutenant."
"Your nightmare imprint has received the following authority upgrade." “
"You can now purchase military rank related items in the nightmare realm at any time."
"Your personal storage space has been increased by 100%."
"You can now form the lowest level party, the party limit cannot exceed 5 members."
"You can appoint an assistant, but his military rank must be at least Sergeant/Sergeant (reserve-duty) and above. This appointment will consume 1 achievement point."
"You have received the privilege to purchase military rank items from the realm for free."
"You have obtained the right to enter the nightmare realm once every two weeks in the present world. Every time you enter, your stay time will be increased by 180 minutes. Every time you complete a nightmare realm, you have 48 hours of accumulated time in the realm. "
"Warning: When your total achievement points drops below 50 points, your current authority upgrade effect will vanish, and your identity upgrade will be removed."
*****
Sheyan looked at the series of improvements and felt quite satisfied. Previously, after completing the Pirates of the Caribbean world, he had received a notification that 'achievement points' could be traded. Thinking about it, those early parties were formed through the rapid trading of achievement points. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, and asked loudly.
"May I ask what determines the reward of utility points, potential points and basic attribute points?"
At this moment, the reply was once again that emotionless mechanical voice of the nightmare realm. Obviously, that fellow had already left.
"Authority evaluation in progress …."
"Please pay 600 utility points, contestant no.1018."
"Your current military rank is Second Lieutenant, you only need to pay 500 utility points."
Sheyan was speechless, but still transferred the 500 utility points over. In this space, one could feel efficiency and coldness all the time. It was a kind of oppression that pursued the pinnacle. Throughout, there was a cold and cruel rule: How much you pay, you will receive. It was that simple, as precise as a machine, and as merciless as a machine!
Very quickly, Sheyan received an answer.
[The utility points reward for passing the mission is related to the theoretical exploration degree of the mission. The nightmare realm will use all the missions theoretically accepted and completed as the evaluation standard for the theoretical exploration degree of the mission.]
"The reward of potential points for a mission evaluation, is related to the degree of exploration of the world, and is related to your mission completion evaluation."
"Only when you are adventuring in the nightmare realm, interacting with the main storyline, main characters or special scenes, will you receive additional basic attribute points. Pointer: You can't have your cake and eat it too. In the initial stages of a contestant, if you don't have a strong party to support you, then when you obtain additional basic attribute points, the amount of additional potential points and utility points you can obtain will be limited as well.
