Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Together with Guang Tongchen, three meals a day, every three days fishing, Xianwu, Beast Tamer, Mutator, Enchanting Demon Mida.

Aside from "three meals a day" and "every three days fishing," who are from another guild called Storm Justice, the other five are all from Baichuan Refuge.

Those tagged as "three meals a day" and "every three days fishing" soon also clarified the situation.

The two felt as if they had been struck by lightning.

Generally, when a newcomer joins a guild, they quickly receive a summons with a countdown of a few days, followed by a team matchmaking event.

The difference between team matchmaking and non-team matchmaking is that in team matchmaking, you can see your teammates' IDs. In non-team matchmaking, teammate information is kept confidential.

The first multiplayer summons after joining a guild usually involves team matchmaking among guild members, but there is a small probability of being matched with other guilds.

"Three meals a day" and "every three days fishing"... were those matched by this small probability.

Being matched didn't matter.

After all, the two soon saw in the team roster a prominent legendary pioneer—Guang Tongchen.

And even the recently celebrated legendary newcomer, Jiang Xianwu.

This was undoubtedly good news, but only later did the two realize...

"Why does this countdown look so... precise?"

So, the two asked around, and learned some details about the endless mode from the deputy guild leader, suddenly feeling as though they could make final arrangements.

If this was the price of teaming up with star players, they would now prefer not to team up at all.

...

...

Inside the Baichuan Guild channel, Zhou Baiyu quickly asked:

"What does 'endless mode' mean?"

Xianwu replied:

"It's one of the special modes, like Blood Hunting Mode. I don't know exactly what it's like, but the liaison told me, this mode... has no clear conditions."

All guild members felt as if they were struck by lightning.

Muscle Lawyer: "Xianwu, what do you mean? What do you mean there are no clear conditions?"

Newbie Fisher: "Isn't it what I think it means? That is, endless, with no possibility of leaving the area?"

All members replied in unison: "Shut up."

Xianwu was somewhat scared, tears nearly falling, but still mustered the courage to reply:

"It's... just as you said. Teacher Mo told me, normally, a call to arms has a clear condition for completion, like survive for such and such hours..."

"But in endless mode, there are no such conditions for leaving. Teacher Mo Sangyu said, the most terrifying part of endless mode so far is that humans can only feel the monotony and despair again and again in an unknown version..."

Zhou Baiyu's eye twitched.

He roughly understood.

Just like the previous Hanging Corpse Hospital, if you survive seven days, you can leave Hanging Corpse Hospital and return to the transfer station.

But if it's endless mode, according to the literal meaning, even if that condition is met, you cannot return to the transfer station, losing the notion of a "clear target."

You'd be stuck in that haunted place forever, playing carrots with Enchanting Demon Mida every day.

Just thinking about it is terrifying... Isn't that like being banished to a different space-time?

As a fellow team member, the guild member, Mutator, spoke out:

"How can we deal with this? Everyone needs to understand something... I once asked my liaison if it's possible for humans to stay forever in other versions."

"The middleman answered that the corruption value would gradually increase over time... which means that eventually, if we stay too long, those of us not from that version will become monsters."

Bad news came one after another.

Ling Hansu suspected it was his One Shot Soul that had caused this.

Zhou Baiyu also suspected it was because he was a Mutator.

Both originally thought that the people from the guild would blame and reproach themselves.

After all, the current situation seemed like the guild had just added two people and then lost five, one of whom was the president.

However, the reaction of Bai River Guild was very calm, but instead, it was the public channel that was buzzing.

About "star rookie" Jiang Xianwu, the next recruitment challenge had started the endless mode, which soon became public knowledge, as often discussed as meals and the casual fishing trips every two days.

With this, the forum for Pioneer Voices got lively again.

"How should we put this? Should we be glad Brother Jiang didn't join our guild? This constitution... unparalleled!"

"It might be a snow demon too, I must say, these two really opened my eyes, how can someone be so unlucky?"

"But for some reason... I actually feel like Brother Jiang might survive!?"

"That's the endless mode, none of us have experienced it, perhaps the last one to try is still stuck in that version. I'm doubtful."

"The move by Bai River Guild this time, that's really a tattoo artist closing his eyes and flinging ink in my face. It's like taking two steps forward and five steps back."

"This... one moment, Brother Jiang just took on the task to investigate the Reverser, the next moment, someone might have to replace him, I really don't know what to say."

The topic exploded instantly.

Posts about how unlucky Jiang Xianwu was were everywhere on the forum.

Jiang Xianwu had passed two almost impossible recruitment challenges in succession, causing many people to look at him with new eyes.

But after finding out what the endless mode was, many people were still pessimistic about Jiang Xianwu's chances.

If a maze truly has no exit, how could one possibly escape?

This wasn't a doubt of Jiang Xianwu's capabilities, everyone believed that he had a promising future, and he might even reach the realms of those legendary pioneers.

It's just that endless mode sounds like being locked up in a version of reality.

Everyone wondered if the hearts of the Bai River Guild's members were likely troubled?

But unexpectedly, the trickster woman soon said:

"Don't make a fuss over nothing, Brother Jiang is quite interesting. Last time the president cleared Blood Hunting Mode, I was always curious about which Hunter was stronger than the president."

"Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to participate at that time. Now I am, haha, I will watch with my own eyes how you and the president tackle the endless mode."

The trickster woman is an interesting woman, just like that anime not suitable for teens called Guifu, except she is a woman who likes to adopt other men as her sons and often shows off the young men she flirts with in her social circle, a woman who seeks thrills.

She could be called the Xiaoyaxuan of the Bai River.

Inside the guild channel, the trickster woman said:

"My profession is a first-order Beast Tamer; I worship the god of all beasts and vitality, nice to meet you, Brother Jiang, let sister study your carrot sometime, I have my own beast too."

This bold flirtation made Jiang Xianwu feel better.

He was actually quite worried that the people inside the guild would consider him a jinx.

But it seems that the team led by Guang Tongchen... seemed to have a different style.

Mule Mare Kneeling Soldier also perked up:

"Indeed, with the president here, nothing is impossible. We have three days, let's prepare more and come back to surprise these people!"
