Sun Goddess Squadâs attributes and Talent are top-tier, but skills are their weakness.
At this point in time, what could be exploited were only attribute crystals. Skills, equipment, and other items were basically not worth considering. What Miyamoto Nobuo and the others possessed were at most excellent-grade skills, and their levels wouldnât be high, absolutely not exceeding level 5, and likely mixed with Ordinary-grade skills.
With their strength, they could attempt Difficult dungeons, but they absolutely couldnât clear them as easily as Noah could.
Therefore, as long as the time difference wasnât too large, and with a dungeon strategy saving the need for independent exploration, Noah was confident in snatching Sun Goddess Squadâs first clear reward.
"Can you determine when Sun Goddess Squad entered the dungeon?" Noah asked.
"Yes, actually the Supernatural Management Bureau has been keeping track of the movements of these top-tier teams. Sun Goddess Squad entered the dungeon an hour and a half ago." Rose replied.
Such precise timing made Noah a bit curious: "How did you do that?"
Rose didnât hide it either: "Some Awakeners who have awakened divination or detection-type Talents can remotely determine a targetâs status. Although due to their low tier, the information they can detect is very little, they can still determine whether the target is on Blue Star or not."
"This kind of Awakener are not uncommon, and other countries also have them. So, actually, our movements canât be completely hidden either. Fortunately, for now, they can only determine whether the target has entered a dungeon."
Understood.
Noah sighed inwardly, thinking there really were all sorts of Talents.
"Oh, right, when did Holy Hall Squad enter the dungeon? Remember to also check that." Noah added.
Rose was stunned.
She thought that snatching Sun Goddess Squadâs first clear was already the limit, but she didnât expect Noah wouldnât even spare Holy Hall Squad.
If he really succeeded, White Eagle Country and Sunrise Nation would probably vomit three liters of blood.
Although she didnât have much expectation, Rose still agreed.
"Alright then, letâs start the dungeon."
[Trial Instance: Green Troll Riot]
[Rank: First Order]
[Difficulty: Difficult]
[Mission: Kill the Troll leader Green Face Troll King causing chaos in Central Capital]
[Content: Twenty Km outside of Central Capital, mountains stretch endlessly, and Troll run rampant. Under the command of the Green Face Troll King, the Troll have gathered, occupying a territory, feeding on humans, causing chaos on the land, and leaving the people in misery. Until one day, you, who have traveled from afar, arrive here... Perhaps bringing life to this land of despair?]
Noah and the other four appeared on a low, dilapidated ancient street.
Because they hadnât officially entered yet, everything outside was still. Through the light screen, they could see a monstrous, two-headed, burly Troll rampaging in the city a few dozen meters away. It was holding a pale-faced civilian in its hand, about to stuff them into its gaping maw.
Watching this brutal scene, Noah and the others felt nothing.
The Zero Order and First Order Instances were created based on Blue Starâs film, television, and literary works, containing various familiar elements.
Whether it was the Generalâs Downfall or the Green Troll Riot, it was the same.
Therefore, it wasnât strange that Noah and the others were indifferent to the tragic fate of these Sunrise Nation ancient people.
"Weâre finally entering an Instance! I canât wait!" Zara cheered.
"Green Troll Riot, isnât this the Instance the Sun Goddess Squad is currently clearing?" Claireâs face showed worry. She immediately guessed Noahâs purpose: "Will we..."
She was a little worried.
The previous joint pressure from various countries on Starfall Country had scared her. She was just an Ordinary girl, how could she have experienced such a scene?
"What are you afraid of? These scumbags play dirty when theyâre not as skilled. Letâs snatch their First Clear and piss them off!" Zara said angrily, remembering the previous incident of pressure from various countries, she was full of resentment: "Claire, with official backing, donât be afraid of them."
Rose smiled and nodded.
"Donât have any psychological pressure. Just like the officials said, itâs our freedom which Instance we want to challenge. As for the Difficult First Clear, although it caused the Disaster to arrive early, it also brought a nationwide reward to our Starfall Country, allowing more people to clear Instances. There is merit, no fault."
Compared to the added attributes, the higher-ups valued the latter point more, slightly increasing the probability of Starfall Country people awakening high-level talents.
Slightly, it seemed insignificant, but when applied to Starfall Countryâs huge population base, it was different.
In a short period, its power was already beginning to show.
After the nationwide awakening, those under 16 years old who hadnât activated their talents had blurry talent panels. They had to wait until they were 16 for their talents to fully solidify.
The younger the age, the blurrier it was, but teenagers aged 15 could already see the specific level of their talents clearly.
Without major changes, it wouldnât change later.
But at the moment the nationwide reward, the Transcendent Aura, descended again, some 15-year-olds experienced a drastic change in their talents, from the original A-grade, B-grade, or even lower, suddenly becoming S-grade, or even SS-grade.
The Supernatural Management Bureau discovered dozens of such cases.
There were even more, possibly undiscovered due to their young age and overly blurry talents.
Unlike the full attribute reward, which only targeted current Starfall Country people, the latter reward would also benefit future Starfall Country people.
It could be said that it benefited the present generation and future generations.
Rose conveyed the attitude of the higher-ups and looked at Noah, saying: "The four of us will all receive corresponding rewards later. Noah, you are the greatest contributor, having made the biggest contribution. Coupled with the Spiritual Rice Root seedling you provided, these are all great feats benefiting the country and the people. Therefore, the higher-ups have promised that you can choose one perfect-grade item from the official treasury, or three rare-grade items, or ten excellent-grade items."
"Perfect-grade." Zaraâs eyes lit up.
Claire and Smith were also full of envy.
Currently, let alone perfect-grade, even excellent-grade items were priceless treasures sought after by countless people. Even top teams couldnât equip all members with excellent-grade items.
Noah: "..."
