Chapter 25.9: You call that a punishment? That's clearly a reward!

Christopher: "What kind of supreme treasure is that exactly? What does 'life tier' mean? Does it mean we won't even be the same species from now on? ⦍FrowningJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Scar: "Can't wrap my head around it, but just based on those effects alone, it makes one feel… Gold items aren't even that appealing anymore. ⦍SmilesBitterlyJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Iuno: "Hmph. Actually, just the Blessing Divine Light that appeared before has already surpassed the current Gold items as far as the entire world is concerned."
Changli: "To a certain extent, there is absolutely no problem with that statement. ⦍NodsJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Camellya: "Indeed, let's not even talk about that Potato Mine… but unless it's under some very special circumstances, the Spring of Life really isn't as good as that blessing upon everyone. ⦍NodsJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Carlotta: "Bastard, what did the Potato Mine ever do to you? You detestable guy. ⦍SmirksJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Yinlin: "It's very simple. Even though your Stand, the Potato Mine, is powerful… it still can't change the structure of a world, can it?"
Jiyan: "That is indeed the case. Even without calculating the effect of the Astrites… that single beam of light increased the overall strength of the Midnight Rangers on the front lines several times over. ⦍SeriousJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Xiangli Yao: "But it wasn't just humans who were elevated. It seems the Tacet Discords' elevation this time… appears to be even greater."
Mourning Aix: "What a pity. If that kind of divine light came one more time… I would be confident in touching that tier. ⦍RegretsJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Bell-Borne Geochelone: "Moooo~~ The feeling of the seal being completely lifted is truly refreshing. ⦍ComfortableJinhsi.jpeg⦎"

" In Between "
Jinzhou—
"The Bell-Borne Geochelone sealed in Gorges of Spirits has broken its seal… Not good, that's a Tsunami-class Tacet Discord, and Yangyang and the others are still over there…"
Seeing the Bell-Borne Geochelone's message in the chat group, Jinhsi was the first to worry about Yangyang's group, who were still in that area.
"No need to panic. Although the Bell-Borne Geochelone has gained independent intelligence, its past experiences will still influence its judgment."
"Taking a step back, the Rover has already completed the challenge, so there is certainly no need for us to worry about that side."
Changli held Jinhsi back with a smile, signaling the other not to overthink it.
However, she truly hadn't expected… a blessing concerning all people originally looked like a wonderful thing.
But looking at it now, with the innate advantages possessed by the Tacet Discords, the benefits they obtained were really no less than those of humans.
〜Void of Valor〜
The scene returned to Rover's side…
Looking at the Heart of Steel in his palm, constantly flowing with seven-colored divine light, it was small and exquisite, about the size of a heart.
But for such a tiny little thing, it was truly hard to imagine just how high its upper limit actually reached.
As long as one keeps "steeling" themselves, they can break through life tiers without restriction. What a simple and crude ability this is.
It could be said that as long as one fuses with it, from then on, they truly realize the meaning of "my fate is up to me, not the heavens."
The power of the rules of any world will no longer be able to become shackles.
Without any hesitation, Rover immediately placed it where his heart was.
Since it was a growth-type supreme treasure, the fusion process went very smoothly.
One after another, rays of seven-colored divine light filled Rover's entire body, until all the light was absorbed by him… only then did the fusion end.
"Is this the feeling brought about by the elevation of life tier?"
Feeling the changes in his body, Rover's strength didn't actually increase that much at this moment.
However, there was one thing: his level cap had been unlocked, and he no longer needed any other methods to increase his lifespan.
Conservatively estimated, even if he marched in place without improving, living for several hundred thousand years would be absolutely no problem.
Moreover, the energy within his body had entered a fully automatic cycle mechanism. All of his abilities could achieve further effects with minimal consumption.
Simply put, judging by level, Rover could still be considered in the Tsunami middle level at this moment, without even a tiny bit of level change.
But looking at it from a strength perspective, the current him could easily defeat a hundred of his previous selves, and the energy in his body would still remain abundant.
This was extremely heaven-defying… after all, one must realize he had only elevated his first life tier.
The current result even he was shocked him. Clearly, all of this had exceeded his original expectations.
Even the Crownless and Calcharo, not far away, personally felt some of the changes in Rover at this moment.
They couldn't help but spawn the thought in their hearts that this child absolutely could not be fought.
.....
[ ~Ding! Now beginning the objective punishment for the Crownless and Calcharo. ]
[ Punishment Item: Will both parties please dance the "Dangerous Party" with deep affection. ]
[ Completion Rate: Greater than 50% counts as a success. If successful, the punishment ends. If lower than 50%, this system will forcibly execute the Deep Affection French Kiss punishment. If the completion rate can exceed 95%, an exclusive Silver Treasure Chest can be obtained. ]
〜Solaris-3〜
At this time, the punishment popping up on the screen could also be seen by Rover and the others inside the challenge space.
So, just the image appearing in Rover's mind… the image of Big Brother and Calcharo hugging each other and dancing to "Dangerous Party."
He already felt that he had been defiled and needed to properly wash his brain.
Not to mention associating it with the image of the two of them French kissing with deep affection; just thinking about it was extremely chilling, okay.

Lingyang: "If it's just performing a dance, and doing it well even gets an exclusive treasure chest… does this really count as a punishment? Why do I feel like it's more like a reward? ⦍BewilderedJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Cartethyia: "Huh? You can get a treasure chest for dancing… Please be sure to give me more punishments like this."
August: "Actually. I feel like I'm also quite good at dancing. ⦍NodsJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Iuno: "I can dance a duet with August."
Camellya: "Although I also want a punishment like this, is it really as simple as I think?⦍CuriousJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Chat Group Crowd: "Damn it. We strongly protest… This isn't a punishment at all, this is a reward… this is a reward!"
Calcharo: "??? Me, dance? And with a Tacet Discord boss??? ⦍LostJinhsi.jpeg⦎"
Crownless: "??? Me, dance? And with Solaris's strongest Resonator???"
