Dustin clicked on the tasks option and another screen popped out in front of him. [ Main Task: You must clear at least 7 of the 60 Special Dungeons located throughout the whole tutorial ground. However, you must not clear more than 2 dungeons from the exact same region. ] [ Example: If you clear 2 dungeons from the Forest Tutorial Ground, you must move to other regions for your remaining dungeons. You can either use the transportation channels or travel on foot. If you enter a third dungeon in the same region and clear it, it will not be counted toward your total. ] [ You must clear this main task before the event ends or before the dungeons get cleared by other allowed participants. Otherwise, your cicada will automatically die. ] Dustin frowned after reading the main task, but he scrolled anyway to look if there was more. [ Cicada's Food: You must feed your cicada fresh blood directly from the heart of any available species at least once each week. ] [ The minimum level of the species must be Level 20. This minimum level requirement will increase by 5 every single week until the event ends or until the cicada dies. ] "Ew... what the hell?" Dustin muttered in disgust as he kept reading. [ Note: If the cicada dies by any means, then the cicada's master will die as well. During the period of this event, you must treat it with utmost care. You must complete the main task and keep feeding the cicada to survive. ] [ The cicada will not fly off and will always stay by your side. But it is very fragile and can be killed by other factors, so please keep this in mind. ] [ Please scroll down to see the detailed map with the updated locations of all the dungeons and transportation channels. ] Dustin looked at the other three men. He rubbed his forehead with his hand and looked back at the screen. Seeing his stressed expression, the others took a good guess that his tasks were not easy. Below the text, he saw the updated map. There were twelve cave-like markings in each region representing all sixty Special Dungeons. The dungeons were scattered randomly over each zone. Some areas had three or four special dungeons clustered closely together, while some large areas had only one or even none at all. There were also three tower-like icons marked in each region that represented the transportation channels. The locations of these transportation channels were obviously not random. They were placed with geometric accuracy. If a person looked closely, they would realize that in each region, these three channels formed an equilateral triangle. Dustin also noticed that the Clouds Tutorial Ground was currently flying directly over the Ocean Tutorial Ground in the northeast and the Grasslands Tutorial Ground in the northwest. The massive floating landmass also cast a shadow over some parts of the forest and the desert. Dustin quickly analyzed the whole map and then looked at the final rewards section of the event. [ After the event ends, each participant who is still alive will receive their rewards from their cicadas. ] [ Just like how you all randomly chose the cicadas, the rewards you receive will be completely random. It will all depend entirely on your luck. ] [ You can get absolutely anything, or you can get nothing at all. You might receive a special class, a powerful sub-class, a legendary weapon, rare items, or completely useless junk. ] [ Good luck everyone. ] "Are you kidding me?" Dustin laughed dryly. Despite how dangerous and stressful everything was, Dustin still found the situation a little funny. The idea of doing all of this insane work and risking his life just to potentially get nothing at the end was pure comedy. "So, ah... what is your main task?" Zac asked Dustin. All four of them sat in a circle and started discussing their respective tasks and how they planned to complete them. First, Dustin explained his dangerous dungeon-clearing requirements to the group. "So you will have to travel to at least four different regions to co
