And let them complete a nightmare trial in the mental institution setting.
Of course, there is no such hospital in reality.
Every room and corridor here was personally constructed by Fang Cheng, inspired by several classic horror games he played in his previous life.
Coupled with the eerie dark environment, and psychological suggestions such as mirrors and flashing lights, together they created a horror park that can simulate sensory experiences, including pain, with 100% accuracy.
As for the most important levels of the game, Fang Cheng also made careful designs.
From the "patients" who create a sense of oppression with their numbers and eerie poses, to the "nurses" with mental impact abilities testing the utilization of rules, and finally the final boss "attending physician," whose comprehensive attributes far exceed ordinary people.
Each type of monster has its own purpose, and the difficulty of the challenge is calculated accordingly. Updates are released by novel★fire.net
Using Xu Hao’s physical attributes as a benchmark, even the strongest "attending physician" is only about three times Xu Hao’s pure physical attributes.
To complete the entire game, probably only three men as robust as Xu Hao, plus one with a slightly smarter mind, could successfully do it.
Of course, the focus of this trial has never been to test pure combat capability.
Intelligence, observation, the ability to analyze the environment and utilize rules, and the willpower to remain calm in desperate situations, these are the keys to passing the game.
After all, compared to mere fighters, what Fang Cheng needs more is core cadres who have brains, resilience, and can stand on their own.
This is a long-term trial plan, intended to constantly hone their mental will through repeated life and death tests, refine their combat skills, and ultimately achieve real growth.
From the results this time, it turned out pretty well.
That blockhead Xu Hao finally grew some brains after suffering a great loss and understands the importance of cooperation.
What really made him see someone in a new light was Xiao Shuai.
A small thug from the bottom-rung background, facing horrors far beyond his comprehension, remarkably maintained a calm mindset, and even reversed the rules to deal with the monsters.
This kind of mindset is quite rare.
Through Spiritual Resonance, Fang Cheng could clearly perceive one thing.
After the trial ended, the layer of halo surrounding the source of consciousness of the two, though still faint, had become slightly more solid than before.
Projected on the starry dome, representing their two Stars, had quietly brightened a bit.
The real growth in the strength of his two lackeys, this naturally was a good thing.
But what Fang Cheng was more concerned about was that through this practical verification, he finally confirmed an effective way to cultivate subordinates and help them quickly enhance their strength.
In the future, when the "Illuminati" is officially established, this trial system can be fully promoted.
He can even design more different styles of trial scenarios, such as tombs full of traps, or crisis-ridden wilderness, and regularly organize members to participate in such "training."
This can not only screen out people who truly have potential and Talent but also enhance the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the entire organization, speeding up the molding of the force.
"Those noble families with a long heritage, their so-called Inheritance Secret Realm, might be things similar to this."
However, their Secret Realm is likely to be a real small world.
While his Inner Scenery World is currently not capable of transforming illusion into reality.
Fang Cheng swept his gaze over the entire island.
The distant mountains and rivers were clearly outlined under the sun, even the shimmering light on the river’s surface was swayed realistically by the breeze.
However, no matter how vividly lifelike it may seem, it’s ultimately just creations condensed by the Spirit.
Then, he raised his head and looked at the eternal, inextinguishable sun in the sky.
Within the blazing sun, a golden pupil faintly emerged.
This eye... what exactly is its use?
Fang Cheng’s heart was once again filled with doubt.
Since fully digesting and absorbing the power of the Deep Red Eye, it appeared in his Inner Scenery World in this form.
It seemed to have fused with the essence of the True Sun Fire.
At present, its only clear function appears to be strengthening his Spiritual connection with the "Believers."
This allows him to more easily initiate "Spiritual Resonance."
But Fang Cheng always felt, the function of the golden pupil should not stop there.
He recalled those monsters in the Inner World of Noah Building that, after being mutated by the power of the Deep Red Eye, became crazed and powerful.
A vague thought flashed across his mind.
Fang Cheng shook his head, no longer pondering deeply.
Feeling the real world was almost dawn.
He hadn’t trained properly for some time, it was time to resume formal morning exercises.
