Chapter 468 Return Mission
"Mission 'Kill the Saint's Remains' Completed!"

"1020 bonus chips!"

"During the mission, the dice were used 6624 times, and a total of experience points were obtained!"

"Congratulations, you have been upgraded!"

"Please extract attribute points!"

"Please draw skills!"

…………

As the saint's remains were killed, a series of prompt messages came to Luo Jun's mind.
But Luo Jun's mind was not on these rewards.

At this moment, in front of him, the body of the saint's remains that had just been torn in half had dried up, disintegrated, and turned into dust.

However, the saint's essence scattered all over the ground did not disappear. Instead, it seemed to have life, flowing spontaneously, gathering together, and constantly concentrating, and finally condensed into a small bottle...

what is this?
Luo Jun walked forward curiously, picked up the bottle, subconsciously scanned it with his vital energy, and found that he could really see the information!

Name: Sage Essence Concentrate
Level: Myth

Introduction: A powerful being who was only one step away from the supreme power left his last essence in his remains before his death. Until many years later, by chance, it was stripped out by a young man from another world...

Function: Drinking this concentrated liquid can temporarily gain power comparable to that of a god, and the duration depends on the user's own endurance. At the same time, this power will bring unimaginable burdens. After the power fades, the user's body and mind will inevitably collapse and die completely. This effect cannot be resisted by any ability.

Note: Want to be on par with gods with a mortal body? Can you afford the price?

…………

It's actually a treasure? And it's a mythical treasure!

After a brief excitement, Luo Jun's hand holding the bottle trembled slightly and he frowned.

However, this effect is indeed somewhat... Being able to temporarily gain mythical power is indeed powerful, but the price is certain death. Isn't this a bit too tragic?
And according to the explanation, the price of death cannot be avoided by any means. Doesn't that mean that even his extreme shorts can't save his life?

This thing is too good... I don't dare to use it myself, how about selling it to someone? It should be able to get a lot of money...

No, no, no, that would be like creating a huge bomb that could explode at any time. If a god suddenly appeared one day, the entire main world might not be able to stop it...

And according to the effect description, the duration of this thing depends on the user's endurance... If the strength is not good enough, it may be drained in an instant. Luo Jun speculated that the threshold for using it should not be low, otherwise even if you have the power of a god, you may not have time to use it...

No matter what, it is a mythical artifact after all, a powerful unexpected gain, and when necessary, it can be regarded as the last resort to destroy both sides.

Although the treasure was sealed, the treasure box on Luo Jun's wrist was still there, but he couldn't take anything out. After checking the effect, he automatically put the saint's essence concentrate away.

Afterwards, the surrounding environment began to change. The scene collapsed and became translucent. Not long after, Luo Jun returned to the white room again.

"You've been gone for a long time."

Ziye's voice came from behind him. Luo Jun turned around and found that the woman was looking him up and down, but there was no unusual change in her eyes.

Facing my beautiful body, you are actually indifferent? Luo Jun curled his lips. Sure enough, the real body is a monster. The aesthetics are different from those of normal people...

"What kind of challenge did you draw? I thought you died in it."

Ziye asked with a smile, and Luo Jun snorted coldly: "Thanks to you, I almost died..." As he said that, he took out his shorts and put them on. Although the person in front of him was not a real woman, he still felt a little uncomfortable being stared at naked.

"It's good that you can come back. I will keep my promise and send you back." As he said that, Midnight raised his hand and threw out the modified Midnight Mask: "Take a look, are you satisfied with this function?"

Luo Jun reached out to take it, swept his energy, and read the new effect of Midnight Mask.

Name: Midnight Mask

Level: Legend

Introduction: A mysterious and powerful being who has seen the light of day again personally upgraded this gift as a token of gratitude. Based on the user's request, it adds more powerful functions based on the original effect.

Function 1: Hide your identity: After wearing it, it has the function of distorting cognition. Even the most familiar people cannot recognize your true face.

Function 2: Portable magic weapon: Midnight Mask cannot be lost and cannot be restricted by powers below the mythical level.

Function 10: Projection Advent: After activation, you can summon the projection of the creator of Midnight Mask. The main body shares the main body's senses and has % of the main body's strength. It lasts for up to hours. During this period, the projection cannot harm the summoner. The summoner can destroy the projection at any time, consuming breaths of vitality. The cooling time is hours. It can be used up to three times. After three times, this function disappears forever.

Note: Okay, okay, are you satisfied with what I heard?
…………

Seeing the effect of the mask, Luo Jun frowned slightly.

The change of function three was the result of his previous negotiation with Ziye. Since Ziye's goal was just to satisfy his curiosity, it was okay not to use the main body. As for Luo Jun, he was worried that Ziye would be detrimental to the main world, so Ziye gave him the ability to destroy the projection at any time.

But Luo Jun is still not completely satisfied with this result...

"Why can it only be used three times?" Luo Jun looked at Ziye: "Are you so stingy?"

"It's not that I'm stingy, but a legendary weapon can only withstand my three descents." Ziye explained: "The function I upgraded before looks similar to the current one, but the principle is completely different."

"Before, the Midnight Mask was just a location. It broke through the world barrier and came down. It relied on my own strength. As a coordinate object, the Midnight Mask itself did not bear much burden. But now it is different. This ability has changed from me actively coming down to you actively summoning me. The Midnight Mask absorbs your vitality and summons me down. In this way, the main power is borne by the Midnight Mask, and naturally it cannot be used unlimitedly."

"After using it three times, the mask will not collapse, but will only lose one function. This is my extra care for you."

Luo Jun nodded. He was not worried that Ziye would play tricks. Firstly, the description of the treasure could not be forged. Secondly, he had used dice when negotiating with Ziye before, and he was sure that Ziye would make the modifications according to what he said.

Luo Jun put away his mask with a smile and looked at Ziye: "I have another unwelcome request..."

"What's the matter again?" Ziye raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"It's not very elegant for me to go back naked like this. Besides, all my points will be cleared. If I go back like this, won't I still be eliminated?"

Ziye looked at Luo Jun: "So?"

"So I was wondering if you could help me get back to the state I was in?" Luo Jun said with a smile, "If you could help me get back to the time when my clothes were still there and I still had some points... Of course, it would be best if you could get all the points I lost back."

"You're dreaming!" Ziye snorted coldly: "I can help you, but I can only restore your state to the moment you entered this challenge, restore your clothes, and your points can only be zero. But don't worry, after returning to the mission world, as long as you don't continue to lose points, you will not trigger the death process again... Of course, if your points fall below zero again, I can't save you." "That's enough!" Luo Jun smiled and nodded: "Thank you sister Ziye for your care!"

"Don't forget what you promised me." Ziye snapped his fingers: "Within three months, I will visit your world!"

"Don't worry, I'm a trustworthy person!" Luo Jun patted his chest and felt the rough touch. He looked down and found that he was no longer naked and his clothes were back on!

Afterwards, the surrounding scenery began to change. Midnight's figure in front of him gradually faded until it disappeared, and the surrounding environment turned back into a dilapidated house.

Luo Jun returned to the fifth floor of the community where he disappeared, but unlike when he was executed and left, this community was now filled with a strong stench. Luo Jun walked to the broken wall and looked out. Under the night sky, he could still see a large number of corpses lying on the ground, and countless mosquitoes and flies were breeding and flying...

Luo Jun frowned in some surprise. The sudden mass death of thousands of people would be a serious incident anywhere. Normally, the city government should have mobilized manpower and resources to deal with these mountains of corpses. How could they just leave them alone and let them rot and stink?
Unless... the situation here is relatively less urgent!
Luo Jun took out his cell phone, and the time was completely synchronized with the time he spent in the challenge. He checked the progress of the mission. There were still seventeen hours left until the end of the mission, and three hours left until the next source of disaster appeared!

This should be the second-to-last source of disaster. This means that during the time he participated in the death process, this city has already experienced three rounds of sources of disaster!
No wonder no one takes the tragic situation in this community seriously. After all, only people died here. Judging from the momentum of the zombies and Hydra in the previous two rounds, every time the source of disaster appears, regardless of how many people die, it is estimated that a landmark building will be demolished.

I'm afraid that all the resources in the city are overwhelmed by the losses caused by the three sources of disasters, and they can't take care of here anymore.

If the source of the disaster is so powerful, what is the current progress?
Luo Jun took a look at the number of enemies and our own people and was immediately shocked.

There are four enemies left, and six of us left!
After these two days, there are only ten people left from both sides?
And the newly reborn me should be among them, which means there are only nine people left after the previous deaths!

Is it so intense? No, most people are likely to be eliminated by the source of disaster because of insufficient points... No matter what, since he is back, he must complete this task beautifully!
But before that... collect the dice reward first!

Already at level 55, Luo Jun first drew a skill.

After a short process, a new skill finally popped up.

It turned out that there was an additional level of more opportunities, and the upper limit of dice that can be used per day increased from seven to eight!
It's a really plain enhancement, but it's still useful after all.

Then there are the attributes!
In the first round of dice rolling, my luck was not very good, with two and six points respectively. Including the advanced point correction, the total attribute is thirty-six points.

At this point, the opportunity to upgrade to higher-level points was gone, but Luo Jun did not panic. He used the refresh skill and then drew another round. This time the result was good, and he drew the highest ten points.

After adding points, his current panel is as follows.

Level: Level 55 (1134/5600)

Strength: 380 points

Sensitivity: 336 points

Perception: 331 points

Spirit: 341 points

Luck: Level 7 + 1

Skills: Everything is dice, advanced point correction, regret, more chances (level 3), [double insurance], refresh, krypton gold.

Props: Fortune Ring, Success Path Bracelet, Life-Seeing Glasses

Chips: 2270

Number of uses: 8/8
.........

The properties have become stronger, and the performance of the dice has also improved a lot. Next, it's time to start completing the task.

The most urgent thing is to get some points first. After all, he is at zero now. If he doesn't get any points, when the next round of disaster comes, he will be dragged back to the elimination process by killing a few civilians...

Thinking of this, Luo Jun turned on his phone, entered the group chat he had created earlier, and sent a message as Ye.

"Who else is alive?"

After a brief silence, five exclamation marks appeared in the group!
They are Ling Xin, Wan Zisheng, Chen Fei, Zhuge Lan and Chu Xin!
Luo Jun was somewhat prepared for the first few players, after all, they were all strong seeded players... The last Chu Xin was really beyond his expectations. If this guy hadn't clung to Luo Jun's thigh, he would have been wiped out in the first few rounds. I didn't expect him to last until now!

"Weren't you wiped out?"

"Could it be that you are the one who just added one to our team?"

"How did you come back?"

Everyone in the group was filled with surprised questions, and Luo Jun could only perfunctorily reply, "I used a consumable item of legendary quality to come back... Where are you now? I'll go find you!"

There was silence in the group for a few seconds, and then the phone suddenly rang with a video call request.

Is it Zhuge Lan calling?
Luo Jun clicked on the video, and the somewhat familiar girl appeared on the screen. However, compared to the high-spirited girl two days ago, Zhuge Lan now looked haggard from the inside out.

"Lin Feng...is it really you?" Zhuge Lan blurted out the moment he saw Luo Jun.

Luo Jun frowned slightly and asked, "Who is Lin Feng?"

"Tsk..." Zhuge Lan smacked his lips with some regret and looked at Luo Jun: "Are you really Ye?"

It turned out that he was trying to trick me... But he was very cautious, afraid that I was an enemy in disguise, so he turned on the video to confirm.

"Guaranteed genuine!" Luo Jun nodded.

"Then you should know who was there at the last moment before you disappeared." Zhuge Lan asked vigilantly: "Also, what did you say to them at that time?"

Still not convinced? Luo Jun laughed and replied, "You and Ling Xin were there at the time. I didn't say anything, I just made some gestures to you."

As he spoke, Luo Jun pointed at the other person, then pointed behind him, and then waved his hand.

"It's really Ye!" Seeing these gestures, Zhuge Lan finally confirmed Luo Jun's identity and hung up the video. Not long after, a location message appeared in the group.

"Get here within thirty minutes, or we will move."
