Chapter 594 - 592: The Newcomer Riot

"Boss Shura is here again. I really can’t escape getting hit by this announcement!"

"Exactly! I logged in an hour and a half late tonight just to avoid hearing this broadcast. Who would’ve thought that Boss Shura also delayed his dungeon run tonight?"

"Hahaha, it’s not that Boss Shura changed the dungeon time. He first took people into a multiplayer dungeon, and that used up time. Naturally the Samsara Tower dungeon run happened an hour later!"

"F**k, I actually forgot about that. That hurts."

"In other words, don’t you think the Super-God evaluation from Boss Shura this time is a bit strange? I read the online guide for the Pacific Rim dungeon."

"I heard the enemies inside are giant kaijus, each one incredibly powerful, and the mission time is seventy-two hours. How did Boss Shura over-complete the mission in just eight hours?"

"What’s strange about that? Boss Shura has never taken the ordinary path. The things you find unbelievable are probably just routine in his eyes."

"That’s right! Boss Shura is awesome. He deserves to be our national idol!"

"I don’t care how Boss Shura achieved a Super-God evaluation. What I care about is whether the next dungeon he runs will be the 20th floor!"

"F**k! If you hadn’t said that, I would’ve forgotten. Pacific Rim is a high-difficulty dungeon on the nineteenth floor. The next dungeon Boss Shura enters will be the twentieth-floor assessment dungeon, which is also a huge opportunity for us newcomers!"

"Brother, thanks for the reminder. I’m going to sign up immediately!"

"I’m coming too!"

"Wait, what are you guys talking about? What opportunity for newcomers? What does Boss Shura clearing the twentieth floor have to do with us?"

"Brother, haven’t you read the online guide about the twentieth-floor dungeon?"

"I really haven’t. What’s going on?"

"Then you should go back and read it carefully. Once you miss this chance, it won’t come again!"

"F**k, stop keeping us in suspense and just say it! Otherwise you pay for this drink!"

"Alright, alright. In the Samsara Tower, every five floors is an assessment dungeon, you know that, right? The twentieth floor is also an assessment dungeon."

"But the twentieth-floor assessment dungeon is different from the others."

"The main task of the twentieth-floor assessment dungeon is bringing newcomers!"

"That’s right. If someone else enters the twentieth floor while bringing newcomers, there’s a high chance things will go wrong. It might even kill the newcomers, which makes it very dangerous."

"But Boss Shura is different. He represents safety and reliability. Ever since he started clearing Samsara Tower dungeons, he has never overturned!"

"Brother, listen to me. Don’t hesitate. Go sign up immediately. Believe it or not, there are at least tens of thousands of people in Samsara Tower waiting for this chance—to ride Boss Shura’s train, get rich, and then challenge the Samsara Tower themselves!"

"F**k! No wonder you’ve stayed in the Safe Zone for three years. You kept saying you’d challenge the first dungeon of the Samsara Tower, but suddenly changed your mind. So you were waiting for this?"

"Hahaha, of course. I originally planned to attempt the Samsara Tower dungeon earlier, but after Boss Shura appeared and started clearing dungeons at lightning speed, I decided to wait and see. I didn’t expect the opportunity to really arrive!"

"But something doesn’t sound right. The number of newcomers allowed in the twentieth-floor dungeon should be limited, right?"

"It is limited. You can only bring fifteen newcomers at most. Why?"

"Then where do you get the confidence that Boss Shura will definitely choose you? There must be a huge number of people signing up."

"There’s no guarantee."

"But even if many people sign up, we still have a chance! Once we get selected, we’ll strike it rich!"

"The rewards for the twentieth-floor dungeon are second only to the team leader. Everyone else receives the same reward!"

"If Boss Shura achieves a Super-God evaluation, we newcomers can easily earn tens of thousands of Samsara points!"

"Hiss! Tens of thousands of Samsara points? Really?"

"Hehe. Believe it or not, I’m going to sign up!"

"Wait for me, I’m going too!"

...

Similar discussions appeared everywhere in Samsara Square.

Soon after, countless newcomers from the Safe Zone rushed to the Dungeon Hall and lined up to register.

For a while, the entire hall was nearly packed.

"F**k, so many people?"

"Yeah! That’s way too many. I thought maybe tens of thousands at most. But judging from this situation, the number of applicants might exceed one hundred thousand!"

"Sigh. Boss Shura’s influence is terrifying. Our chances of being selected are extremely slim."

"Yeah. Who would’ve thought so many people would come? I can only pray for good luck and hope Boss Shura chooses me."

"But I still don’t understand. There must have been plenty of people who cleared the twentieth-floor dungeon before, right? Why haven’t I heard about it?"

"Because no one else is as reliable as Boss Shura! Even when the famous Aurora Morwyn cleared the twentieth floor back then, it wasn’t nearly this big of an event!"

"I have another question. Since the twentieth-floor dungeon is meant for newcomers, what happens if no newcomers sign up when someone attempts it?"

"Heh. If no newcomers volunteer—or if there aren’t enough—the Samsara system will forcibly assign ten newcomers."

"If you’re lucky, you’ll come back alive. If you’re unlucky, you’re completely finished!"

"F**k? That really happens? Why haven’t I heard about this?"

"That’s because you lack experience. Did you really think Samsara Tower was some kind of charity hall?"

"From the moment we chose to enter this place, our fate was no longer entirely in our own hands!"

"But wait! The area we’re in is called the Safe Zone, and the dungeons here are low-risk. Why would something like that happen? What kind of safe zone is that?"

"Brother, you’re too naive. There’s no such thing as absolute safety."

"Even Safe Zone dungeons can still kill people. They’re just much safer than the Samsara Tower dungeons."

"In the real world, our country is known as one of the safest in the world. But people still die all the time, don’t they?"

"Exactly. By the way, have you ever noticed something strange?"

"Sometimes people on your friend list suddenly disappear and never log in again."

"Let me tell you—it’s not because they quit the system."

"It’s because the Samsara system forcibly assigned them to the twentieth-floor dungeon, teaming them with a senior expert!"

"My f**king mentality just collapsed. How do I avoid being forcibly selected?"

"It’s simple."

"As long as you enter the Samsara Tower dungeon, you will no longer be considered a newcomer."

"F**k, isn’t that even more dangerous?"

"What do you think?"

"Did you really believe Samsara Tower built all this just so you could stay in the Safe Zone forever, eating and waiting to die?"

"You must be dreaming!"

"Then what if I’m forcibly assigned and the senior Samsara doesn’t care about me—or even wants to kill me?"

"You don’t have to worry too much about that."

"The evaluation for the twentieth-floor dungeon depends on the number of newcomers who survive."

"The more newcomers that survive, the higher the evaluation."

"So unless the person leading you is completely insane, they’ll try their best to protect you."

"Great Heavenly Spirits above, please bless me!"

"Boss Shura... you must choose me!"
