Chapter 477: Chapter 260: Spirit Tablet, Bonus Chapter Seven Star Guardian_2
[You are one of the Seven Stars!]
[The seven fairy palaces next to the Demon Suppression Altar are the only pathway to the human world. Your duty is to protect the Heavenly Gate within your palace and prevent the otherworldly Heavenly Demons from entering and causing havoc in the human world...]
[The Demon Suppression Altar is suppressing a total of nine types of otherworldly Heavenly Demons. Each time the sealing power of the altar weakens, one type of demon will surge out.]
[The sealing power of the altar will weaken three times every day, each time lasting half an hour. If you successfully fend off nine kinds of Demons within three days, it will be considered a successful defense. ]
[If more than half of the fairy palaces fall during the process, it will be considered a failed defense.]
[If you, the Seven Stars, successfully fend off the invasion of the Heavenly Demons, you will receive favor and rewards from the Heavens. If you fail, the human world will collapse and this world will be destroyed!]
[Please choose the fairy palace you wish to guard, and summon the other six stars...]
[Apostle, you have activated the peaceful recruitment mode of the Easter Egg Chapter!]
[An invitation has been automatically sent to the apostles of ’Five Difficulties’ in your friends list...]
[1. Apostle: ’Star Glass’]
[2. Apostle: ’Little White Deer’]
[3. Apostle: ’Glorious Warwolf’]
[4...No other apostles matching this difficulty were detected.]
[Since there are not enough readers, please enter the Soul Imprints of the remaining Apostles. Once they agree to the recruitment, they will be able to enter this Chapter with you, assist you in guarding the fairy palace and protecting the human world...]
[You can also choose to recruit randomly to fulfill your duty of protecting the human world.]
[Please note that whether you opt for directed or random recruitment, you can only recruit Apostles of the current difficulty level (The Fifth Chapter Difficulty)!]
[Do you wish to start recruiting now? Once the recruitment is complete, the sealing power of the Big Dipper Demon Suppression Altar will wane, allowing the Heavenly Demons from other worlds to flood in...]
Lin Xun had a few question marks floating above his head.
Just as he was confused, his phone rang. The caller ID showed it was Ms. Black Silk.
The moment he answered the call, a surprised voice came from the lady boss, "Lin Xun, did you activate the Easter Egg Chapter of the Heavenly Demon Invasion?"
Lin Xun was taken aback. How did the lady boss know about the content of the Easter Egg Chapter? Had the developers grouped up and cleared it?
Through discussing in-depth with the lady boss, he gradually understood the whole picture.
"The developers did clear this once. But, the Easter Egg Chapter they entered was Chapter 8714. All the apostles who entered were of four difficulty... And they failed in the end."
An official Apostle had once been lucky enough to receive an Easter Egg bookmark for Chapter 8714, which was one difficulty level lower than his.
It was said that the Apostle was from the logistics team of Jinling City. All the people in his friend list were his colleagues from the logistics team.
However, the combat power of the logistical team’s Apostles was quite lacking, so much so that it was even worse than random recruitment... Predictably, they all died out.
The designs within the Easter Egg Chapters were bizarre and varied greatly. They included challenges that resembled climbing a divine ladder, explorations that involved solving puzzles and barren lands to conquer, and even complete worlds like the regular Chapters.
What Lin Xun encountered this time was an Easter Egg Chapter similar to tower defense. His objective was to protect the fairy palace and resist invasions from the Heavenly Demons.
Every day, he had to withstand three waves of Heavenly Demon invasions. After enduring nine waves in three days, he could pass the level and receive the rewards.
Once the Easter Egg Chapter was read, the Apostle who opened the Chapter would receive a large number of rewards. The rest of the summoned Apostles also had their share of the rewards.
However, if the Apostles that were recruited were too weak, and more than half of the fairy palaces were lost, it would mean a failed defense. The world of the Easter Egg Chapter would be destroyed and the rewards would all be lost.
Failure not only forfeited the rewards, but it would also result in certain penalties. For instance, the earnings from the next Chapter would be reduced or the underworld game could gift them negative BUFFs.
According to Li Xingyue, the logistic team of Jinling City couldn’t even withstand the third wave of Heavenly Demons on the first day. They made an achievement by losing four fairy palaces and failed their defense.
All the Apostles involved in the Easter Egg Chapter were gifted negative BUFFs by the underworld game - a 30% reduction in spiritual earnings. They could only get rid of this BUFF after completely reading a regular Chapter.
"Lin Xun, how many Apostles have you recruited?"
"Including you, there are four. I still have three recruitment spots left."
Star Glass was Li Xingyue, Little White Deer was Lu Caiyi, and that Glorious Warwolf was the leader of the armed group, Wang Zong...
As for Ye Xiaoqi, An Yun, An Ying and the other colleagues from the Intelligence Team, who had already been added as readers to the Chapter, they couldn’t be recruited into the Easter Egg Chapter since they hadn’t reached the fifth difficulty level.
"I can help you with the remaining three spots and collect elite Apostles from the headquarters or other places to help you clear the Easter Egg Chapter..."
Lin Xun smacked his lips. He couldn’t help praising that it was relaxing to have such a leader who would help him summon strong teammates to clear the Chapters.
"Thank you, leader. I have nothing to repay you with, I can only offer my body."
"Huh, who wants it! There’s another thing, how much are you going to charge for the entrance fee?"
Entrance fee?
Lin Xun widened his eyes: "Can...Can I charge for agreeing to help?"
"Ordinary people cannot, because there is a risk of failure when entering the Easter Egg Chapter. If the rewards are not received and on top of that, a penalty is incurred."
"But this is an official team-up and the Apostles who will be recruited are elites among elites. Furthermore, there’s your trump card. The chances of clearing are very high so it’s normal to charge an entrance fee."
Lin Xun didn’t know what face to wear. It felt like he had unknowingly made money again, but he didn’t know the market price: "Boss, give whatever you feel is right, I trust you."
