Chapter 1434: 1434

The first level, Passage Contest, only the pure adventure mode can achieve an S+ rating, while the comprehensive category caps at S-.

After all, it’s still inferior to Starfire, no one knows how the ratings are determined, and some also believe it’s unfair, since everyone’s goal is to protect everyone, so why should there be a discrepancy in the scoring?

You should know that different ratings result in different rewards.

With the same three rewards, an S- rating does not offer a level up, nor the option to select a Skill Book, and the choice of equipment might chance upon a purple piece of equipment.

As for the A rating, the rewards would be poorer, with no dark gold equipment available under the S grade drawing.

For S ratings and above, the chance descriptions vary due to different additions and subtractions, for example, those like Starfire, which have a significantly higher chance.

Estimated that at SS or SSS, all would be dark gold, and even superb dark gold, but no such team has appeared yet.

Especially those teams that progressed smoothly without much ado, not encountering any challenges or battling other teams to enter the passage, all had an A rating.

Initially, they watched others struggle fiercely for their position while they comfortably progressed, but as teams with S ratings appeared, those rewards made them envious, yet there was nothing they could do. Everything comes at a cost.

By now, everyone had realized that the first level was about both luck and strategy: constantly killing monsters for a chance to drop good equipment, and contesting for passages to aim for a higher System evaluation.

Li Yao checked and found that they had five minutes to make a decision.

“Let’s discuss it. What rewards does everyone want?” Li Yao looked around and asked.

Most people were following Li Yao into a dungeon for the first time and expressed their willingness to follow the Club President, agreeing to choose whatever Li Yao decided on.

“All three rewards aren’t bad. A level up saves many days of leveling up, which is difficult now. Skill Books are also good; maybe you can draw a divine skill. As for equipment, a high chance to draw dark gold is naturally good.” Sister Li frowned: “It’s really hard to decide.”

“Humph, the System is too stingy, why can’t it just give all three rewards at once instead of making us choose,” Tong Tong was also torn.

Qin Feng Yi smiled: “In my opinion, our guild never lacks places and methods for leveling up, and unless we’re competing for the level leaderboard, there’s no need to have too high a level; maintaining a top tier is just fine. As for skills, good skills are definitely hard to draw, and getting the same skill would at most upgrade the skill level, but skill levels can be achieved with effort too.”

“So you think the equipment is good, but our guild isn’t exactly short on equipment either,” said Guardian Angel.

Qin Feng Yi explained, “Although the System didn’t specify, this is a main storyline dungeon, and the equipment drawn is definitely special to this dungeon. The dungeon boss has at least a thousand or two thousand drops; even if many are repeated, think about how many special pieces of equipment there are. Not to mention each boss drops differently, and you may not encounter the same boss on a second run, wanting special equipment might drive one insane. Even if you’re unlucky and get gold equipment, it’s not bad either. We still have a lot of purple equipment, and drawing pieces of a dungeon-exclusive class set can be very handy, as we can’t keep farming this dungeon for honor to swap sets, and we only swap for purple gear, right?”

Fruit Knight nodded, “I also agree with Feng Yi’s view.”

“As do I,” Fireworks nodded.

Then, the veterans were mostly persuaded by Qin Feng Yi, and other members found it reasonable too.

“Since we’ve made a decision, let’s choose to draw equipment.” Li Yao made his choice directly, “The rest is up to everyone’s luck.”

Each team member had a roulette only visible to them appear in front of them, Li Yao was no exception.

Li Yao found that the roulette had copious equipment, over sixty-five percent of the area was dark gold, and the rest was gold equipment.

Li Yao promptly spotted the item he desired, a Faction Badge, but this badge was dark gold level, far superior to regular Faction Badges in properties.

But Faction Badges are essential to wear, removing control is too important, taking up an accessory slot. If he had a Purple Camp Badge, it would be incredibly awesome; such items were exceedingly rare.

Li Yao immediately spun the wheel and after a while, a pair of gold quality Gloves appeared in Li Yao’s hand, Li Yao silently swapped out his purple Gloves.

“Wakakaka, got another dark gold totem, my Flame Tongue Totem just got upgraded massively,” Tong Tong excitedly held up the dark gold totem and yelled.

No one was surprised, Tong Tong’s lucky hands were famous for a reason.

Even if a piece of dark gold equipment eventually becomes obsolete, a totem is for life.

Especially for someone like Tong Tong, a totem wielder, a dark gold totem is worth more than several pieces of dark gold equipment, priceless and not available for purchase.

Originally, Tong Tong’s Flame Tongue Totem was already powerful, but now it has been upgraded two levels, probably the fireballs it shoots could match a powerful fire mage.

Sister Li’s face twitched, she put her gold equipment into her backpack, she was worse off, her pulled gold equipment was better than her current one.

Qin Feng Yi’s eyes flickered with a hint of amusement, in her hand was a gold-glowing Skeleton.

It was a summoning medium, for summoning Undead Pets, and although not dark gold, it was still much better than dark gold equipment as having a powerful Undead Pet was far more valuable than ordinary dark gold.

After all members of Starfire team finished drawing, some were beaming, while some had gloomy faces, but overall, most were quite pleased.

“Big brother, let me see the dark gold you drew, it must be amazing,” Tong Tong asked Li Yao.

Li Yao helplessly turned away, cursing inwardly, damn it, why can’t someone else draw for me.

He changed the subject: “Alright, we gained a lot this time, over twenty pieces of dark gold and a dozen gold from the first level alone, we got quite a colossal catch. Don’t get too excited yet, there are still two more rewards.”

“System: War rating S, choose one from three rewards. First, all surviving soldiers and heroes randomly upgrade 2-4 levels. Second, randomly revive 60% of soldiers who died in the first level. Third, draw a team-type war mode reward related to war mode. (All three rewards are determined by rating)”

“This time you decide,” Guardian Angel said.

This time it was mainly Li Yao’s army, the members contributed limited troops and there were no losses, so they let Li Yao decide.

“Well, then I’ll be blunt. Upgrading levels is fine, since after a few battles we can level up anyway. As for reviving soldiers, not necessary, most of which are cockroaches, there were basically no losses, it would be a waste of reward to randomly revive them, we’ve got enough energy cells to produce a hundred thousand cockroaches. So let’s choose treasures, Tong Tong, it’s up to you now.”
