Similar scenarios are evolving in different forms in the locations of several selected individuals around the world.
As dungeon games have evolved, they are no longer just about individual life-or-death adventures.
Ever since the first person to successfully complete the mission brought back power and items beyond common sense, leaders of various countries have keenly realized that behind this lies a game of national destiny, groundbreaking research into unknown technologies, and even a reshuffling of the future world order.
Therefore, every player selected by the system will be locked onto and assessed by national forces immediately, and then a decision will be made on whether to make contact.
Once contact is made, the authorities will provide as much intelligence analysis, equipment support, and even emergency special operations training as possible.
The Great Xia 749 Bureau is now the department specifically responsible for these matters.
Immediately after the release of the new dungeon "Jingjue Ancient City", the entire 749 team sprang into action, collecting all information about Jingjue Ancient City and the Queen of Jingjue. At the same time, they also analyzed and evaluated the identities and pasts of Qin Mian and Mu Yunni.
Inside the office.
Zhou Xingbang, the director of Bureau 749, said, "This is the first three-star difficulty dungeon released. Fortunately, there aren't many participants. Two of our Great Xia were selected, and their evaluations have already been completed. Everyone, please take a look!"
The materials were distributed to everyone.
After everyone finished reading, they all frowned.
"Well... I don't think there's any need to provide assistance to the two of them!" one member said bluntly.
Another person nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I don't think it's necessary. Mu Yunni is indeed very outstanding, and she has entered many dungeons, so she already has a lot of items. In addition, her father has spent a lot of money to collect items for her over the years, so she shouldn't need our help. As for Qin Mian, well, although this child is also excellent in many aspects, he is too fat after all. In the desert, his stamina will be insufficient, and he probably won't be able to last long. If we provide him with items, there is a high chance that they will be lost in the dungeon."
"Old Zhang is right. We don't have many tools left, so we must use them wisely and save them for those who truly need help. I think we should give up on these two people this time!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, feeling there was no need to help the two.
Firstly, Mu Yunni is wealthy and doesn't need their props. As for Qin Mian, due to his own limitations, even if he were given props, they would hardly be of any use and might even benefit others.
It's important to know that these items brought out from the dungeon are extremely rare and valuable.
For Bureau 749, this is like an investment; they will invest their limited resources in players with a high probability of clearing dungeons, rather than letting the resources go to waste.
Zhou Xingbang sighed, "Well, they are, after all, subjects of our Great Xia. Here's what we'll do: we can't give them the props, but we can help them with other things. Since the Jingjue Ancient City is the tomb of the Queen of Jingjue, it must involve knowledge of tomb raiding. I remember that a while ago, I organized Master Yao's tomb raiding notes, so let's send those notes to the two of them."
"By the way, send them all the information we've gathered about the entire Jingjue Ancient City, as well as the data on a few other people, so they're aware of the situation."
……
Qin Mian has one advantage: he has a good attitude.
Since the matter was already settled, he simply stopped thinking about it.
According to the rules of the instance, the selected participants will have eight hours to prepare for the instance released each week, and it will officially begin at 8:00 AM.
Since there was nothing he could do, he might as well conserve his energy. So, after reading all this, Qin Mian went straight to sleep.
I was only asleep for two hours when I was woken up by a knock on the door.
Outside the door were people from Bureau 749. When they arrived and found Qin Mian sleeping, they were somewhat doubtful as to whether they had come to the wrong place.
Because they came into contact with many of the chosen ones.
Some were hysterical, some tried to remain calm, and some frantically sought help, but the one snoring so loudly was absolutely unique.
After explaining their purpose, the people from Bureau 749 handed over the materials to Qin Mian and left, leaving Qin Mian alone looking at the materials, feeling very moved.
"It feels so good to have the support of the nation!"
He hurriedly took out the information about the ancient city of Jingjue and began to read it. The content was indeed more detailed than the background introduction of the public live broadcast, adding some research by the archaeological community on the ancient kingdoms of the Western Regions, the characteristics of the desert climate, and some seemingly plausible folk legends.
However, the core, crucial information about the Ghost Cave, the Serpent God, and the Muchen Pearl remains vague and unclear, less than what he already knows.
He then took out the Tomb Raider's Notes, and upon reading it, he was immediately surprised.
Inside were Yao Shiye's own handwritten notes, containing all the knowledge he had learned about tomb raiding throughout his life.
"Wow, this Master Yao is truly a talent!"
"Dragon Seeking Techniques", "Golden Point Location", "Soil Observation and Soil Analysis", "Astrological Positioning", "Key Mechanisms", "Tomb Structure and Hierarchy", "Corpse Transformation and Countermeasures Against Evil Qi", "Identification of Common Funerary Objects and Risks"...
Organized into categories, clearly structured, and presented in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.
This is no mere notebook; it is clearly an "underground survival manual" that embodies the wisdom and blood and tears of generations of tomb raiders!
It contains all the knowledge related to tomb raiding.
For others, they might just get an impression after seeing it once, but Qin Mian is different. After he transmigrated, he gained a skill: photographic memory. His eyes are like a scanner; once he scans everything, it's all engraved in his mind.
After watching it once, Qin Mian closed his eyes and carefully went through it in his mind. Those scenes were as if he had personally experienced them, and they were firmly engraved in his mind.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Mian took out the information of other people.
Upon closer inspection, it was somewhat surprising; apart from him, the others were all quite remarkable.
Of the ten people, none of them are simple except for him.
Scarlett is a big star.
Yamamoto Ichiro was a disciple of ninjutsu.
Andreev is a master of wilderness survival.
Park Guk-chang is a well-known detective in South Korea.
……
Mu Yunni...
When he saw Mu Yunni's information, he felt a little nervous. After all, she was his wife with whom he had registered their marriage. If she died, he wouldn't survive long even if he completed the mission.
Unfortunately, to his disappointment, the information on the other end was blank.
Out of concern for the protection of personal information within the country, Bureau 749 did not provide either party with the relevant information.
"Hey, should I send a message to let them know first?" Qin Mian thought to himself, but after taking out his phone, he shook his head. The other party must have known about it already, but they hadn't even accepted his previous verification message, which meant that the other party probably didn't want to contact him.
"Forget it, I've done what I could. Let fate decide!"
Qin Mian was quite carefree; seeing that there were still two hours left, he went back to sleep.
