A class-restricted instance? That sounds quite interesting.
Bai Ci couldn't help but think.
Although White Black Sheep had emphasized that it was only a very small possibility, she couldn't help but look forward to the scene of many players with similar classes running an instance together.
If that were the case, she wondered what the theme of this restricted instance would be, and which unlucky souls would be dragged in just to make up the numbers.
Haha, there was no way the unlucky soul would be her, right?
Bai Ci thought about it, but for the moment, she couldn't figure out what kind of class pool her own class would even fit into.
Closing the thread, Bai Ci refreshed the forum interface.
She typed "Red Church" directly into the search bar to filter for threads related to her recent instance.
A wide variety of rant posts, strategy guides, and review threads instantly flooded the screen, mostly consisting of players' post-clear reflections and shared experiences.
She casually scrolled down and was quickly drawn to a thread with an eye-catching title.
General Discussion Area-Instance Rants
GratitudeThank you, Brother Hui. The Red Church instance is great because of you.
ID: It's the Evening Breeze
Opening a new NPC appreciation thread!
Genuinely bowing down to the hidden boss of the Red Church instance—my Brother Hui! Shout "In Brother Hui We Trust" to get an A-rank!
Floor 2: OP: His legs aren't just legs, they are the spring waters of the Seine.
His back isn't just a back, it's a Bulgarian rose.
His waist isn't just a waist, it's a scimitar that steals my soul.
His lips aren't just lips, they are the pure waters under the Anhe Bridge.
Floor 3: You Are the April of This World: Oh no, everyone run! OP is too far gone.
Floor 4: Premium Single-Character ID: I never expected to see this kind of stuff on an unlimited flow forum. I must be dead, right?
Oh wait, I am dead. I wouldn't be here otherwise.
Floor 5: Seven: Has OP lost their mind? Since when do people fangirl over NPCs?
Floor 6: Foxtail Grass: OP is still too green. That copy-paste spam is so outdated. Watch me.
Floor 7: Foxtail Grass:
First love of the mortal realm, the ultimate dream;
Dashing eyes, a gentle voice;
The arsonist of every young girl's heart;
The perfect NPC has arrived, everyone make way!
Floor 8: yzkbca: Wow. It takes all kinds of birds to fill a forest, and the same goes for players.
Floor 9: OP: Floor 7 is so professional. I've learned so much.
Floor 10: OP's Reply: Alright, enough fooling around. On a serious note, this is genuinely the first time I've ever admired an NPC this much.
Before entering the instance this time, I went bankrupt trying to buy a time-limited item from the shop.
My class isn't particularly strong to begin with, and to make matters worse, my static team's captain went off to do time in a solo instance.
As for my randomly matched teammates...
Floor 11: OP: My teammate patted my shoulder and made my hand shake, so I posted it before finishing. Continuing.
As for my randomly matched teammates, if you saw them, you'd think my life was miserable too.
Out of three random teammates, two were Malicious Outlaws fighting each other, and one was a Conspiracy Theorist who specialized in causing all sorts of sabotage.
Not only did not a single one of them do the main quest properly, but they also added senseless difficulty to the entire instance. By the time it was my turn, all the clues had been reduced to absolute crumbs.
Floor 12: Still Growing Strong: Wow, that's insane. What kind of legendary luck is that, OP?
Even your worst enemy would feel pity seeing this.
Floor 13: OP: Anyway, that's the backstory.
Only in a moment like that did I truly realize how great Brother Hui is.
If I hadn't scraped by on the information Brother Hui left behind to get a C-rank, I would've had to face a points instance head-on.
Floor 14: Poplar Blossoms Fall and Cuckoos Cry: I see who OP is talking about. That NPC indeed has a story.
The half-letter he left behind not only directly revealed a key mechanism of the instance, but we could also use the letter to claim a top-tier support item he left.
This guy can really be considered the conscience of the instance. I beg Anomalous Infection to give us more NPCs of this type.
Floor 15: A Cup of Iced Americano: Indeed, this NPC's letter is the most direct clue to break the deadlock. Besides, without this setup, it would be very difficult to trigger the subsequent plotlines for Shen Jiayi and Shen Tan.
Floor 16: No Pay If the Orange Isn't Sweet: ??? Who is Brother Hui?
Floor 17: OP's Reply: This is a discussion thread for the Red Church instance. Did the poster above wander into the wrong thread?
Floor 18: No Pay If the Orange Isn't Sweet's Reply: I didn't get the wrong thread. I cleared the Red Church instance too, but how come I've never heard of this name?
Floor 19: Don't Move, I'll Go Buy You Some Oranges: What was your clear evaluation grade, poster above?
Floor 20: No Pay If the Orange Isn't Sweet's Reply: C-rank, why? Do you look down on low-grade players?
Floor 21: Don't Move, I'll Go Buy You Some Oranges: Ah, never mind then. Let's disperse, guys. No wonder the poster above doesn't know who Brother Hui is.
Floor 22: I Am Delicious Braised Pork: Brother Hui is Wang Huizong, an NPC from the previous wedding team.
This guy was indeed incredibly tough. Even after being captured by the villagers, he managed to counter-kill half an alien.
Floor 23: Aunt Wang's Malatang: Why half an alien? Couldn't he kill a whole one and get it over with?
Floor 24: I Am Delicious Braised Pork: Because he didn't kill the alien, but he did turn it into an idiot.
Let's put it this way: due to Brother Hui's resistance, that alien either hatched prematurely or got stuck halfway through hatching and couldn't continue.
In short, it was underdeveloped, resulting in a mentally stunted alien that was extremely easy to brainwash.
But since it had already hatched, it was still deployed to parasitize humans.
Floor 25: I Am Delicious Braised Pork: What happened next was highly entertaining.
Normally, the script should have been a terrifying alien silently replacing your teammate and backstabbing you at a critical moment.
But because the alien was an idiot, it turned into a story about a resilient teammate with unyielding willpower, where the teammates showcased their deep bonds to thwart the alien's evil conspiracy.
Floor 26: Tangyuan Dumpling Soup: So there was actually someone paving the way behind the scenes.
In my instance, the replaced NPC loved his girlfriend so much that the alien ended up completely falling in love with her too.
I thought the girlfriend was some kind of ultimate heartthrob, but after all this time, it turns out Brother Hui was the one carrying everything.
Floor 27: Crimson Bellflower: Speaking of which, the NPC in my instance was even more badass.
The alien couldn't even overpower him. Instead, he ended up parasitizing the alien and stealing its power.
At the time, we were still wondering if it was some kind of revenge by the Honey Bride, but then the parasitized guy straight up revealed that he had been killed by the alien, but now he had taken over the alien's body.
That instantly pinned down what the enemy actually was.
