After finishing, the only feeling Rose and the other three had was exhaustion.
It was much more tiring than following Noah through five Tier 2 Trial Instances in a row.
After all, when they were running instances with Noah, they could completely trust him. Any crisis or difficulty that arose, Noah could easily solve, and they didnāt need to think too much at all.
Unlike this time, they became the main force, but unfortunately, they didnāt have Noahās strength, so mental and physical exertion were inevitable.
Therefore, when the team disbanded, Zara and Claire were overjoyed, and even Rose and Smith quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Leading a team themselves was nowhere near as satisfying as running instances with Noah.
"Oh right, after you cleared the instance, how did you choose?" Noah asked about the rewards after clearing.
Rose thought for a moment, "My instance contribution was 21%, and Smithās contribution was 23%. We both received a system prompt asking us to choose whether to merge into Blue Star or convert into world origin."
"Zara was 15%, and Claire was 11%. They didnāt receive a system prompt. Everyone else was below 10%, including those colleagues with SSS-Level Talent."
"So, itās very likely that people with over 20% contribution have the right to choose."
Roseās guess was not unreasonable, but Noah always felt something was off.
"What happens if no oneās contribution exceeds 20%?" Zara asked curiously.
"Based on my analysis, the biggest possibility is that the standard drops further. For example, 10% contribution might grant the right to choose. If thatās still not enough, it will drop to 5%... and so on. Therefore, thereās a certain possibility that the reason Rose and Smith gained the right to choose is because the standard dropped. The true standard is likely above 50%, just like Brother Noah, who can make the final decision with a single word," Claire analyzed. "If no one has over 50% contribution, the standard will drop tier by tier. If someone could get 30% contribution, Rose and Smith probably wouldnāt have received the system prompt."
"Claire still sees things clearly." Rose praised, expressing her agreement.
"Makes sense." Smith also said.
"Whatās the point of figuring this out?" Zara was a little confused.
"Itās still meaningful." Roseās expression was somewhat serious. "Because there are two options. Currently, converting the world shards into world origin to be absorbed by Blue Star seems to be without danger. However, the risk of the other option is unknown. I donāt know the meaning of this optionās existence. Perhaps it holds great benefits, but until we are fully prepared, itās best not to choose this option."
"We can ensure we wonāt choose randomly, but we canāt guarantee that there wonāt be people with malicious intentions. Therefore, the best way is to understand the mechanism of the right to choose to ensure that the final result doesnāt go out of control."
"Uh, the big boss shouldnāt mess around, right?" Zara said weakly.
Noah smiled and shook his head.
"Then thatās that... Itās not like we can manage foreign countries, is it?"
"Foreign countries have nothing to do with us." Rose glared at her impatiently. "Donāt just look at the present. Disasters wonāt just be this Ghost-Level Calamity. New Disaster Instances will also appear then. Are we going to rely solely on Noah to solve everything?"
Zara had a headache. She didnāt have Roseās long-term vision.
"I donāt care about that. I only care about when we can enter the instance and get the Rolling in Money authority." As she spoke, her eyes lit up.
In the last instance, she only got 15% contribution. She only gained the favor of the Blue Star world will and was still far from gaining the authority. For her dream of making money while lying down, she was highly motivated.
Noah chuckled, waved his hand, and led the hundred-person team that had been waiting for a long time into the instance.
With Rose and the others entering, the speed of clearing the Disaster Instance was faster. Accordingly, Noahās contribution also decreased, but he still maintained an absolute advantage of 90%.
There were a total of twelve Disaster Instances in Starfall Nation, distributed throughout the country. The total number of Disaster Instances discovered worldwide was thirty.
Starfall Nation accounted for nearly half.
At first, countries like Sunrise Nation and Eagle Federation were gloating. Their countries had at most two or three Disaster Instances, and the pressure was much less than Starfall Nationās.
But when Noah started attacking the Disaster Instances, they heard World Announcements of clears every day, sometimes even twice a day.
The Disaster Instances within Starfall Nation were decreasing day by day, while the Disaster Instances within their own countries remained stagnant.
They started to panic.
The countdown to the Ghost-Level Calamity, like a death knell urging them on, decreased day by day.
If they didnāt clear the Disaster Instance in advance, once the time was up, they would face the combined arrival and attack of the Disaster Instance and the otherworldly monsters from other worlds.
No one wanted this double "surprise".
Regarding their own top teamsā lack of strength, more and more people cursed loudly.
It was at this moment that, within Sunrise Nation, Miyamoto Nobuo made a public appearance and live-streamed simultaneously online.
During the live stream, Miyamoto Nobuo appeared very sincere. Along with the core members of the Amaterasu Squad, he first gave a ninety-degree bow to the entire nation, fully demonstrating Sunrise Nationās spirit of bowing.
He first admitted his own lack of strength, then analyzed the severe situation facing Sunrise Nation.
Finally, he appealed to the Sunrise Nation citizens to take out their spare attribute crystals and prioritize providing them to the Amaterasu Squad, so that their strength could grow to a level sufficient to clear the Disaster Instance.
Miyamoto Nobuo solemnly promised to always stand on the front line against the otherworldly monsters and would never fail to live up to the trust of the Sunrise Nation citizens.
