Chapter 2107 Pocket Dimension Opens
Dayus stayed in the room for quite a while and after that, he came back with a few slips of paper each.
He distributed one for each of them.
"The slip given to you has the name of your target."
He then took out some envelops and passed it over to them.
"Your task is to distribute the envelops to your targets. Don't talk anything else with them. Just tell them that it is a favor for the Dean, Noble League and the Student Union. Don't open the envelop and don't try to see its contents by any other means.
For now, those are your only instructions and I hope you can follow them to the tee."
The whole team was confused, but they nodded. This new leader of theirs was pretty eccentric and some of them even started having some doubts. But the promised rewards were pretty high and all of them happened to be in big deficit of coins.
They need to pay for their special classes in the hub.
"Don't wait. Do it now."
They left the room and went to their respective targets. These people are someone they don't know, but they just believed that their target might have been someone chosen by another teammate.
They went and delivered the envelopes.
The targets were of course curious. They opened the envelopes and found four things inside. A spatial ring, a flaming skulls card, a smaller envelope, and a letter. The spatial ring contained a shit load of coins and the letter contained a few instructions. They are to go and place an assignment with the flaming skulls using the card.
As for who they should place the hit on, the details were given in the smaller envelope. And they have to do it right away. With no delay. They were given the methods to contact the flaming skulls. However, Dayus really didn't have to do all that.
Because almost everyone knew how to do it. In fact some of them even placed a hit before.
Everything is fine until then.
The only weird part is that they shouldn't open the smaller envelopes themselves, they are to deliver it directly to the flaming skulls representative.
The targets moved and went to place the hits.
Sam watched this all unfold with amusement. He understood what Dayus is trying to do. He is trying to prevent any form of information leak. The targets that were chosen actually were not in the names given by his teammates. These eleven candidates are completely different from the people chosen by his team. But because he interchanged it, they just assumed they got the name of the target chosen by a different teammate.
Based on which assignment was messed up, Dayus could identify the information leak. Its not that he is just suspecting them directly. There are many ways for an information leak to happen.
"For a fucking sell swords, these guys have way too many fucking rules." He spat through his teeth and looked at his teammates who were confused.
"We cannot do much. Let's just finish the first pocket dimension and then we can continue with the plan. I will talk to the Dean, so don't worry about it and just focus on the pocket dimension for now."
The next day, things were pretty uneventful. Everyone just pushed everything to the back of their minds and just prepared for the pocket dimension.
The first pocket dimension belongs to the god Apollo.
It is a fire domain and it takes place for exactly three days. The whole thing is simple. Everyone will be given a star fragment up on entering the pocket dimension. Within the pocket dimension, the fire domain will create several elemental creatures, each will have a star fragment as their core.
When they defeat the elemental creature, the fragment will join the ones they already have. After collecting a certain number of fragments, a 'star' will be created. As the days pass, the creatures will be more difficult to deal with and the fragments will become rarer as some creatures will not be able to gather the fragments together.
That is not all.
There are some creatures that will carry some memories in their fragments. It could be a cultivation technique, battle technique, a crafting technique, formation blueprint, it could be anything. Only the person who defeats the creature can gain those memories.
Of course, it wouldn't be a proper competition without the combat between the students.
On the third day, they can fight among themselves. The loser will lose all the stars to the winner and by the end of the third day whoever, has the most stars will win.
In a way, it is just an elaborate scoring game.
Sam felt like he could have a field day along with his friends, particularly when he found out that this pocket dimension allows people to enter as long as they pay a certain fees and their cultivation level is within the limits, in this case the First grade level.
So, all of his friends, including Stone can enter the game.
"Let's have some fun."
That's what Sam said to the rest of his teammates.
The day the pocket dimension opened, hundreds of people left the city and entered the forest where the entrance was located. Many elders moved to protect their talented students from the shadows. With the crowd and the whole ruckus, it is very easy to assassinate someone. As soon as the portal opened though, everyone became excited. This year, the whole batch of first graders is highly talented. Everyone improved greatly and they are looking forward to see how they are going to score.
Even though the first place candidate is going to be the ultimate winner, there are some exciting prizes for everyone that ranked within top twenty four.
Granted by the yours truly Apollo.
Sam entered the portal and he felt a spatial pull. He landed in a pretty empty barren place. Except for the lava river flowing beside him, there is nothing but rocks and occasional lava puddle for as far as he could see.
At that moment, a small stone like thing appeared out of thin air and floated beside him with a faint red glow. It connected with Sam's spiritual sense. Its his star fragment
