Chapter 107 S-rank cleared, achieved!
Chapter 107 S-rank cleared, achieved!
"Whoa—!!!"
The Lord of Laughter unleashed a piercing, shrill scream, filled with pain and chaos.
Its massive sarcoma body began to spasm and convulse uncontrollably, and the pulsations on its surface became rapid and chaotic.
It instinctively tried to devour this surging torrent of emotions, but it was as if it had swallowed a deadly poison—
Those pure negative energies collide and tear wildly within it, fundamentally destroying the stable structure upon which it depends for survival.
The realm built on false pleasure has begun to crumble from within!
"Keep pushing! Use all your strength to completely burst it!"
The orange cat issued a command, and the golden light around it turned into a dazzling pure white, precisely guiding the negative emotions that the four people were pouring out, transforming them into a destructive tidal wave that surged toward the tumor that was rapidly expanding due to internal conflict.
The Lord of Laughter has finally reached his limit.
Its swollen, almost translucent fleshy body could no longer withstand the tearing force of the violent energy within.
The next second—
"Bang!!!"
A deafening explosion suddenly erupted, as if a flesh bomb had detonated inside the cave!
The enormous "Lord of Laughter" instantly and completely exploded, turning into a torrential downpour of foul-smelling, viscous flesh and blood.
"Buzz!"
With a flick of its right front paw, the orange cat unfurled a pale golden, semi-transparent shield above the four people like the most agile umbrella.
The next second, a torrential downpour of viscous, foul-smelling flesh and blood poured down, slamming against the light shield and sliding down the curved light wall, piling up a ring of nauseating bits of flesh and green slurry around the four people.
Beneath the shield of light, not a speck of dust remains.
"Disgusting!" The orange cat flicked its tail, conveying its disgust through its thoughts.
Once it was confirmed that no more waste was falling, the orange cat retracted its claws and dispelled its shield.
Lin Feng and his three companions finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hah...hah..." Anna collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, oblivious to the peach wood stick rolling to the side.
She looked up at the mangled flesh scattered on the ground, her eyes glazed over as she murmured:
"Is it... over?"
At that moment, a hand was extended in front of Anna.
Anna looked up and saw Evelyn standing in front of her.
Although Evelyn's face also bore the fatigue of a fierce battle, and dust and sweat clung to her temples, a genuine and warm smile now appeared in her usually calm and even somewhat sharp eyes.
Evelyn's voice, slightly hoarse but exceptionally clear, rang out in the silent cave, "Anna, we did it. S-rank clear!"
Anna stared at the outstretched hand, then at Evelyn's smiling eyes, paused for a second, and then a huge wave of joy and relief washed over her.
She reached out and grabbed Evelyn's hand tightly, using the leverage to stand up from the cold, sticky ground.
"S-rank..." Anna repeated the word, a tearful smile finally blooming on her face. "We really...did it!"
At that moment, a grand, icy voice resounded simultaneously in the minds of Lin Feng, Evelyn, Vassim, and Anna:
[Announcement: Congratulations to the four chosen ones—Lin Feng from the Dragon Kingdom, Evelyn from the Fog City Kingdom, Anna from the Grizzly Bear Kingdom, and Wasim from the Pakistan Kingdom—for successfully eliminating the source of contamination at "The Mysterious School" and achieving an S-rank clearance rating!]
[Based on S-rank completion achievement, the rule restrictions have been lifted.]
From this moment forward, you are free to move about on this campus without any rules or restrictions, and you will not be subject to any strange attacks.
The school gates are open for you; you may leave without any problems.
You may also choose to stay in this instance for a maximum of 24 hours.
As soon as the cold notification sound ended, four soft and pure white beams of light appeared out of thin air and precisely enveloped the four people.
Within the pillar of light, the filth and exhaustion from the battle were quickly washed away, and their depleted mental energy was rapidly restored, like a dried-up riverbed being nourished.
Immediately afterwards, the notification sounded again, announcing the national and individual awards:
[National rewards are now being distributed based on the Chosen Ones' contributions:]
[Dragon Kingdom (highest contribution):]
[1. With the nation's fortunes improving, the efficiency of natural resource regeneration will increase by 25% within the next three years, and the probability of a surge in technological innovation will significantly increase.]
[2. China has mastered and achieved a technological breakthrough in "miniaturized controlled nuclear fusion"]
........................
Dragon Kingdom Live Stream Room:
"!!! Controlled nuclear fusion! We've done it!"
"Holy crap! Miniaturization?! Isn't this the key to unlimited energy? It's ushering in a new era!"
"National fortune rises! Resources are regenerated! Technological inspiration abounds! God blesses the Dragon Nation!"
"Starting today, textbooks will be rewritten! This is history that our generation has witnessed!"
"Kowtowing to Boss Lin Feng! You are a hero of the Dragon Kingdom!"
"Hahaha, did you see that?! This is an S-rank clear! This is number one contribution!"
International public opinion:
"We're doomed. The future of technology will be monopolized by the Dragon Kingdom, while we're still arguing over oil..."
"Calm down, it's just a 'technological breakthrough,' it's still a long way from practical application..."
"Contact China immediately to express congratulations and explore the possibility of cooperation in the energy sector."
"We must readjust our diplomatic strategy; it is imperative to establish closer relations with China."
"Traditional alliance systems are failing, new centers have emerged, and attaching oneself to the strong is the way to survive."
"Quickly, investigate whether our chosen one might reunite with the Dragon Kingdom team in the next scenario!"

Ghost Stories Announcement Continues:
[Fog City Kingdom (Second in Contribution):]
[1. Nationwide, the inspiration and success rate of technological innovation (especially in fintech and biomedicine) have slightly improved.]
2. Gain a basic understanding and ability to apply the "Laws of the Ocean".
[Effect: Over the next 3 years, all ships registered in or operated by citizens of the Fog City will receive significant gains in speed, safety (avoidance of natural disasters), and success rate in offshore resource exploration.]

Studio:
"The glory of the British Empire has returned! The ocean has once again opened its arms to us!"
"Shipping costs are about to plummet! Insurance rates will have to follow suit, right? Traders in the City of London are going to be popping champagne tonight!"
"This is the ability to reshape the global shipping and resource exploration landscape... The country will have the greatest say in the rules of the sea for the next five years."
"Wait, 'ships controlled by citizens of the Fog City' also applies? What if they monopolize the global market for senior crew members in the future?"
"The Royal Navy's global projection capabilities and deterrence have been enhanced, albeit intangibly. The effectiveness of carrier strike groups may need to be reassessed."
"Does this mean we can discover the legendary Atlantis, or those mysterious, glowing minerals in the deep sea? The Age of Exploration 2.0 is about to begin!"
