Chapter 77: Chapter 77- Plug-in, Forming A Team
[Final priest’s points: 1000]
[Points for treating patients: 130]
[Treatment output points: 156]
[Total Points: 1286]
[Congratulations on earning 1286 points.]
[Congratulations on the clearing in the “White Snowy Field” of the Lord of Storms. You have received the gift of the Lord of Storms and Snows: Avalanche.]
[Avalanche Lv1: The healing ability of all charge guns, assault rifles, and portable pistols increased slightly.]
[You can use the points to purchase gifts at the lounge. ]
A long list of information overwhelmed him. When he finished reading and clicked “Next”, he saw a fat man in a bedroom.
The bedroom is small, with only a table, a single armchair and a bed with a quilt. There are no windows, and there are thermometer and hygrometer next to the window. The temperature in the room is 22 degrees Celsius, the relative humidity is 60% RH, and the humidity index is 50, which is the most suitable temperature for people on earth.
There was a letter on the desktop, which was blank when he picked it up, but after a second, a mysterious paragraph appeared.
[This is the lounge for participants. Only you can enter here. The area outside is meant for communication and shopping. You can do consumer shopping or head to the Central Exchange of Light Balls to purchase gifts.]
[You have one day to rest, socialize, shop, eat and adjust to the new environment. When you enter the second trial, your mental and physical state will naturally return to its best state.]
[Here, you still have the protection of the gods and cannot be harmed. At the same time, the act of you trying to harm other trainers is prohibited, and you will be forced to return to the lounge as a result of the action. You will also be confined until the beginning of the second trial. ]
A six-digit digital clock suddenly appeared on the wall, fixed at 23:59:59, but the countdown had not started yet.
Ren Suo attempted to control the fat man to try to leave the lounge. However, the door showed a red prompt: “There is around 3 minutes left before entering rest time.”
Hmm?
Why are there words such as “around”, which brings about uncertainty?
Ren Suo thought to himself, wouldn’t he have to wait for the results of the other trials to be released before he can rest?
Ren Suo had played so many games, such that he has already experienced 7 types of trial grounds. He has experienced 3 of the Lord of Storms and Snows, 3 of the Master of Billions of Glory, and 1 of the Eternal Heart. He isn’t sure whether there are trial grounds that he hasn’t tried before.
With so many trial grounds, it is only normal that there are many trials to be carried out. Ren Suo guessed that every time he returned to the same trial ground, he was actually randomly selected by many trial grounds. Theoretically, when the fat man is having the trial, there are also other trials happening at the same time.
That’s the reason why there’s a need to wait for all trials to be completed before taking the time to rest.
However, due to the existence of the Healing Light Curtain, each trial will actually be limited to less than one hour. After one hour, no matter how the tester hides, the Healing Light Curtain will still collapse onto the trial ground.
The Healing Light Curtain gets stronger as it drags longer. Initially, the Light Curtain is bright green. However, towards the end, it fades into the dark green of an endless jungle. Even if the trainer ate fried chicken while drinking Coke, he would still not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, the time taken for each trial is controllable. The trial that completes first, will at most be 10 minutes faster than the last trial.
Ren Suo recalled that when he cleared the level, the area had shrunk to a very small size. If it shrank again, the entire trial ground would soon turn dark green. The same would apply to other trial grounds; hence, the existence of the ‘around 3 minutes left’ prompt.
In fact, after a few tens of seconds, the red reminder of the door slowly disappeared, and Ren Suo heard a calm, unrecognizable voice saying: “The rest time begins.”
When the fat man left the bedroom, countless black doors appeared at the same time, in front of him. Men and women came out directly from the black doors.
However, when they came out, the doorway disappeared.
At this moment, he heard a whisper: “If you want to go back to the lounge, press and hold any part of the building with your right hand for three seconds for the portal to appear.”
So there is a difference between the lounge and the plaza?
But Ren Suo felt weird triggering the portal——a strong sensation of the usage of technology these days.
If teleportation was supposed to be magical, shouldn’t the ones teleporting be given a magic scroll or ring to do so……?
However, Ren Suo was quickly distracted by the plaza.
Coffee shops, Chinese restaurants, Gaming hub, KTV, Hotpot restaurants, Comic stores, Cinemas, Fast-food restaurants…
The streets are full of modern consumer facilities, and all the facilities are not built in rigid shapes, but are instead arc-shaped building models, one by one forming multiple large and small rings, centered on the nearby giant white light sphere and is the point of the exhibition.
This wonderful natural structure looks much more beautiful than the concrete jungle of modern cities.
In the beginning, other trainees that came out of the lounge were also startled by others, but they were quickly attracted to the various consumer services here, as if they were admiring the socializing plaza in the city.
“Are we back to reality?”
“OMG,Who_can…”
“Do we have to pay to purchase items here? I lost my wallet not long ago before I came here…”
The room was filled with question marks and footsteps, the Fat Man headed into the comic store as controlled by Ren Suo, but was stuck at the entrance.
[Comic Store: 1 Point per hour, automatically renews upon completion of an hour ]
Ren Suo was able to afford to waste 1 point; hence, he went ahead with it to see what will happen.
The Comic Store looked like any other regular book store, and the only difference was the presence of a variety of drinks and desserts, all on a free-flow basis.
Inside the store, there are rows of bookshelves filled with comics, but before entering that area, there is a navigation bookshelf filled with navigation books that are written in different languages. Ren Suo opened the Xuanwen’s “Manga Guide”, and easily found the position of the comic based on the first letter of the book’s name.
The book area and the browsing area are completely separated. In addition to the common desks, there are many sofas, large beds, tatami mats, and even cats and dogs in the browsing area.
Even shortly after the Fat Man came in, there was already a fat boy who was about the same size as the Fat Man holding a Cola and Mango Melaleuca, with a few comic books sandwiched in his armpit, that came over to the browsing area and laid on the sofa, reading comics and eating. He also didn’t forget to pet the orange cat next to him.
… He seemed like he was really enjoying it.
If Ren Suo was willing, fat people can also enjoy such a decadent capitalist life. But it was the fat man in the game that would benefit, not him. Hence, Ren Suo was too lazy to spend time on the Fat Man and left the comics store immediately. He then proceeded to the giant white light sphere in the middle of the hall.
Although there are a lot of entertainment facilities along the way, most of them are restaurants. They had everything. The eight major dishes of the Xuan Kingdom to the fish and chips in Britain, the Southeast Asian dishes to the sashimi sushi sashimi, to meet the demands of the poor and the rich.
Consumption is akin to self-service. 1 point / hour for all-you-can-eat. First, you have to go to the front desk to choose dishes, and then choose a table by yourself. After a few seconds, the center of the table will sink and the menu will rise up.
However, most people would make the same choice as Ren Suo, which is to seek advice from the counter at the central white light sphere.
Purchasing gifts is more important than binging, for the sake of winning the trials.
The white light sphere floats in the air, and the light, directly under the big ball of light, almost turns into a veil of light that gently drapes over the trainer.
As long as the trainer strokes the light yarn with his hand, he would be able to directly launch a redemption interface!
It’s almost like grabbing a ray of light!
Ren Suo was amazed by such a fantastic and mysterious setting. However, he was quickly distracted by the contents of the exchange interface.
The gifts that can be exchanged are divided into four categories: Lord of Storms and Snows, Lord of Glorious Glory, Heart of Perpetual Burning, and others. And the right side of the interface shows the gifts he already has.
“Infinite Stamina”, “Life Asylum”, “Sound Optimization”, “Vision Optimization”, “Hearing Optimization”, “Avalanche Lv1”.
The gifts that can be exchanged using the Lord of Storms and Snows mainly include “Wind Fury”, “Rain Curtain”, and “Avalanche”, which correspond to enhanced fire rate, reduced single-shot healing interval, and enhanced single-shot healing ability.
And the gift of Billions of Glorious Masters is “Xinghui”, “Yuehua”, and “Sundial”. In fact, the effect is the same as that of the Lord of the Storm and Snow, except that the Lord of the Storm and Snow strengthens the assault gun, assault healing rifles, and portable healing pistols, while Billions of Glorious Masters strengthen healing shotguns and sniper healing rifles.
The gifts of these two gods are to strengthen the power of healing equipment, and all can be upgraded—each skill can be upgraded by 10 levels!
If you click on the gift, there will be an actual combat display.
For example, in a full-scale demonstration of “Xinghui”, a priest hid on the grass and held an AWM. He saw a white fat man eating fried chicken on the top of a mountain with a 15x lens.
There is no need to consider the fall of the bomb, it is a straight shot to the head!
The rate of fire is increased to the maximum level, and like lasers, the bullet had no need to consider gravity.
The eternal scorching heart is slightly different. “This god is mainly…a plug-in?”
Yes, in Ren Suo’s opinion, this deity is just a plug-in for selling gun battle games.
“Quietness”: The trainer’s hands will receive a blessing of tranquility, better control of any healing firearms, able to reduce the recoil of the healing firearms, and all healing firearms have no recoil at the full level;
“Scorching”: The experimenter’s eyes will be bestowed with infrared thermal energy detection, and you will be able to see the location of the creatures within a certain range. The first level is 5 meters, and at the highest level, no one can hide within 50 meters.
“Enthusiastic”: The mental state of the trainer is sublimated. When any target that requires treatment appears in the sight, the trainer will subconsciously aim the therapeutic device at the target. This state will only last for 0.001 seconds at the first level, and the alignment position is either the trunk or limbs. At the highest level, this state will last for 0.1 seconds, and the alignment position is locked at the trunk.
Although Ren Suo didn’t play many gunfight games before, he is smart enough to know that these three gifts are not ‘reclining’, ‘perspective’ and ‘self-sighting’!
However, Ren Suo calmed down in a matter of seconds.
Although it looks like a plug-in ability, everyone is on the same starting line if everyone is able to exchange it.
In addition, gifts such as Eternal Scorching Heart are limited. At low levels, the actual combat performance is also normal. The self-sighting is only 0.001 seconds, which is almost fleeting; and the ‘see-through’ ability is only applicable to people within five meters……within five meters, Ren Suo would already be able to hear the footsteps.
When only low-level gifts are available, these gifts are mainly used to make up for the shortcomings of the trainer: ‘No Recoil’ to save handicap, ‘Self-sighting’ can help people with slow reaction, and ‘Perspective’ can prevent sneak attacks by Lao Yin.
“How much would these gifts cost?”
——1000 points for everything.
In other words, Ren Suo can only redeem one gift now.
In addition to the gifts from the three gods, there is also an ‘Other’ category.
Ren Suo glanced and was instantly attracted by the most expensive gift.
[Team contract: Let 2 to 4 trainers form a team and be considered as one person to enter the trial. If you pass the trial, the points will be distributed according to the result of each person. Note: Only effective in the second trial.]
