“You can gain favorability from Anomalies?”

    Bai Lian pondered as he examined the title’s effect.

    This title didn’t seem to provide a direct boost to strength, but it could offer significant assistance when entering dungeons.

    At the very least, thanks to this title, Bai Lian wouldn’t face inexplicable hostility from Anomalies in the future.

    Anomalies aren’t NPCs; they have their own thoughts.

    Although they’re bound by rules and can’t attack unless a player breaks them, they can still exhibit hostility based on personal preferences.

    For example, they might try to push a player they dislike into breaking the rules.

    After Bai Lian obtained this title, such situations wouldn’t disappear entirely, but at least the likelihood of them occurring would significantly decrease.

    So, the title’s effect was indeed powerful.

    However, Bai Lian didn’t choose to equip it.

    The effect of the “New King” title was too strong—an extra life and increased affinity. Bai Lian chose the former.

    Any player in his position would do the same.

    It’s like in a game: if you only have one life, would you choose to increase your relationship with NPCs or gain an extra life?

    Bai Lian wasn’t the type to take suicidal risks.

    He didn’t gamble. So, the title would just gather dust in his status list.

    Meanwhile, as he completed the dungeon, a new message appeared in the world’s public chat.

    【Qi Yuan: Guys, someone just cleared an E-rank dungeon—the “Fifth Estate”!】

    “Shock! Senior player continues to write legends, scores another SSS rating, rookie ignores the rules!”

    The title of this post captured all the attention-grabbing points.

    Once again, it gained massive popularity on the site.

    Just a few minutes after the post went live, its views surpassed a thousand, and the number continued to grow at an alarming rate!

    “What’s going on? I just logged into the game, about to write a regular post, and then I see someone got an SSS rating? Is this a joke?”

    “Guys, hurry up and watch this dungeon run video. This guy is something else. If you don’t watch it, you’ll regret it for life!”

    “Is this some kind of trap?”

    “Look at the previous user’s post. It’s true. There’s really a senior player who got an SSS rating!”

    “Oh my god! I saw that post too, and what’s crazy is that less than a day has passed, and this person got another SSS rating?”

    “Wait, I’m having a hard time understanding. How can someone ignore dungeon rules? That’s just absurd!”

    “Hahahaha, you think that’s weird? I was one of the first viewers of this streamer, and you know what? When he was in the rookie dungeon, it was even more absurd! He could revive infinitely, and the Mysterious World couldn’t kill him!”

    “It’s confirmed, folks. This guy is the true son of the Mysterious World! Time to go fishing!”

    The SSS dungeon rating truly attracted attention.

    After all, until now, no one had managed to achieve such a high rating, even in the simplest E-rank dungeons.

    Currently, the highest achievement among Mysterious World players is an S rating!

    And even getting an S rating requires being among the strongest players!
