chapter 33 - If you don’t get carried away, how can I level up?
The next day.
Linxian Peak, Hall of Law Enforcement.
"How were things yesterday?"
As soon as he saw Qian Yutang appear, Ding Mingcang eagerly grabbed him and asked.
"Bad news... After the Disciples cleared the stages, there were new stages."
Qian Yutang feigned seriousness. As soon as he saw Ding Mingcang's expression turn grim, he quickly waved his hand and continued, "Elder, don't panic! The good news is, the new stages are very simple. I heard the Disciples cleared them with ease."
"Really?"
Ding Mingcang's furrowed brows immediately relaxed.
"Absolutely true!" Qian Yutang nodded vigorously, "It's said that that kid worked through the night to design the new stages, probably never expecting the Disciples to clear them so quickly!"
Upon hearing this news, Ding Mingcang's heart settled considerably.
"Since it was rushed, it must be a shoddy work, and it probably won't be popular later on."
"However, letting him constantly find loopholes to improve the stages isn't good. Go to the Refining Hall and warn him not to make any more changes to the Illusion Realm!"
"Also..."
"Go to Wenjian Peak and Danqing Peak, talk to their deacons, and finalize the matter of increasing classes. You must be quick!"
"The Dao of the Sword and Spirit Medicine being so ruined by an ordinary Disciple, they must have a lot of opinions."
"As long as the academic pressure increases, the Disciples will naturally have less interest in playing with any Illusion Realm..."
...
...
Leigong Peak, Qingyun Pavilion.
"Damn it!!!!"
A violent fluctuation exploded within the Qingyun Pavilion with Zhong Yi's roar.
【Zombies ate your brain...】
Looking at the large words floating in the air, Zhong Yi was furious.
Even though the stage was marked "Difficult," wasn't this difficulty a bit too outrageous?
The first three stages were still fairly standard; at most, the Zombies that appeared were just stronger than in normal mode.
After the third stage, the monster spawn rate was simply not on the same level as before!
Disgusting Ice Car Zombies and Acrobat Zombies would constantly mess with him.
The number and frequency of monster spawns also increased exponentially.
After the fifth stage, even Barbarian Zombies comparable to BOSSes would appear!
In just a short while, he had his brain eaten by Zombies more than ten times!
How could this Genius Cultivator save his Face?
Zhong Yi was very frustrated.
He opened the forum and found that the forum was full of wails.
【This Difficult Survival is too hard! Are there any Fellow Daoists who have cleared it?】
【Barbarians are appearing in day mode; I can't imagine what will come later...】
【It feels like starting Foundation Establishment just to fight a Nascent Soul old monster.】
【Didn't they say survival mode was for us to enjoy? Only a Saint could enjoy this.】
【Junior Brother Lu must be doing this on purpose!!】
【Calling all Genius Cultivators, only he can save us!】
...
Originally in a state of mental breakdown, Zhong Yi, seeing his high popularity on the forum, immediately rekindled his fighting spirit.
"Fellow Disciples, wait °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° for me to overcome this challenge and return to help you all!!"
...
...
Late night.
【Demonic Path Value +1.2】
【Demonic Path Value +10】
【Demonic Path Value +1.2】
【Demonic Path Value +10】
...
The continuous System prompts were very pleasant to the ear.
Lu Ze lay comfortably on his bed.
"These two, master and Disciple, are truly a great help!"
Currently, advancing from Early Stage Foundation Establishment to Middle Stage requires a full 50,000 Demonic Path Value.
If it weren't for the contributions of this Treasure Trove of a master and Disciple, he truly didn't know when he would be able to advance.
The person on the forum who led the call for the Genius Cultivator, shouting that only he could save them, was actually Lu Ze's alt account.
The purpose was to get Zhong Yi excited.
If he didn't get excited, how would he upgrade?
The original Difficult Mode wasn't actually that ridiculously difficult.
Lu Ze redesigned the Difficult Mode according to the difficulty of Endless Mode.
The purpose was to make everyone die more often and send him some Demonic Path Value.
As for whether any Disciples would be tormented into quitting...
Lu Ze wasn't worried.
Firstly, Cultivators in this world have absolutely never seen anything this fun. Once they get addicted, you can't even drive them away.
Secondly, his control over difficulty was very precise.
It's very difficult, very abnormal, but there's absolutely hope of clearing it.
So even if players fail again and again, they will absolutely persevere relentlessly.
When they truly clear Difficult Mode,
they will discover that there's an Endless Mode waiting for them.
That's the real trap.
