"It seems that the higher the difficulty level chosen for the Battle of the Abyss, the greater the rewards."

The 14th Bureau member stood up to return, preparing to respond to the opponent's upcoming dungeon challenge once again.

Having gone through this dungeon challenge, they now understood the dungeon rules: the last place would summon the Abyss Lord.

Additionally, the higher the chosen dungeon difficulty, the greater the rewards, but the summoned Abyss Lord would also become increasingly formidable.

This time, the opponent was likely testing them, and this overwhelming victory might give the opponent the confidence to choose a more difficult challenge next time.

Therefore, the upcoming battle is especially important.

Once the 14th Bureau members returned to the branch, they immediately spread the news, hoping to find someone who understood this Battle of the Abyss and could defeat foreign opponents in this dungeon.

If there's anyone, let them rise to the challenge.

.....

"See, I told you, with our current level of understanding of this Battle of the Abyss, suppressing others is just too easy. You all insisted on choosing the basic difficulty, wasting an opportunity for higher rewards!"

In Zone 13, a group of people sat around a round table.

The leader, a young man with white hair, said with dissatisfaction.

One has to know, such dungeon scrolls decrease with each use, and they were able to acquire the dungeon scroll thanks to some special clauses.

But the cost was not small.

Everyone knows that increasing dungeon difficulty can similarly increase rewards, but with the increase, the strength of the summoned Abyss Lord after the last is eliminated also rises.

They had previously tried to increase the difficulty to medium to gain more rewards.

But when the medium difficulty Abyss Lord appeared, their firepower was unable to destroy it, causing them significant losses.

Considering the rarity of the dungeon scrolls and the cost to acquire them, the rewards gained from selecting an easy difficulty did not justify the costs incurred.

Thus, after becoming familiar with the dungeon, they planned to start challenging other countries.

If they could offload the last spot to other countries, they would reap the highest tier rewards, with no downsides.

Among all the countries, they selected the 14th Bureau.

The 14th Bureau, as one of their strongest competitors, could allow them to win rewards while simultaneously undermining the opponent, which felt especially gratifying.

For example, this time, they managed to undermine the opponent.

The others sitting around the table glanced at each other silently upon hearing this.

"The 14th Bureau has a vast land, if someone had previously entered this dungeon and became familiar with it, wouldn't choosing the high difficulty be just asking for trouble?"

After a moment, someone at the round table spoke up.

Choosing the difficulty had been discussed and agreed upon by them earlier.

This time, it was entirely to test the waters with the 14th Bureau, to see if anyone over there was familiar with the Abyss dungeon, avoiding a scenario where the trick backfires.

"Hmph, how could anyone at the 14th Bureau be familiar with this dungeon? We've spent significant time investigating, and an Abyss Lord has never appeared anywhere worldwide!"

"You should know, once this dungeon begins, an Abyss Lord would appear on Earth no matter what, yet we haven't heard any such news, implying no Abyss Lord has existed before us."

"Since no Abyss Lord has appeared before, it means no one has used this dungeon scroll."

Hearing these words, the young man with white hair retorted bluntly.

The rest listened in silence, his words indeed made sense. It seemed they had been excessively cautious.

"You all know, seeking such an Abyss dungeon scroll incurs a significant cost, and only choosing an easy difficulty is insufficient to cover these costs."

The young man with white hair paused for a moment, adding another line.

Upon hearing this, there was finally no more arguing among the attendees, and they nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, let's follow your lead then, increase the difficulty of the Abyss dungeon. But to play it safe, how about involving the 49 Society from Japan? If anything goes wrong, we can use them as a backup."

"Bringing in the 49 Society? Sure, if they can back us up, it's foolproof."

After some thought, everyone around the table nodded collectively.

They all felt it was the best approach.

"So let's prepare, don't give the 14th Bureau too much time to ready themselves, start the next battle as quickly as possible to limit their time to analyze the dungeon."

The leading man contemplated briefly and quickly suggested.

The others had no objections and nodded in response.

.....

"Weapon clauses?"

Inside the 14th Bureau.

After finishing the meeting, Zhang Yi took out his phone to check, seeing a message from Zhou Yingting, his brows furrowed slightly.

He knew about these clauses, but hadn't paid much attention to them before.

After considering, he sent a message to Zhou Yingting indicating he would help inquire about it within the 14th Bureau.
