Chapter 347: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
```
Level six players... according to Hong Rao, the highest level players can currently achieve is level six.
Script Space has never set a cap on player levels, so everyone can only speculate based on the existing levels, perhaps there are levels above seven, but no player has reached them yet.
The deduction points needed for leveling up are on an increasing trend, Xu Shuo needs another hundred thousand deduction points to advance to level three, but the deduction points obtained from low-rank scripts have a cap.
From this, he speculated, then wouldn't it take at least a thousand scripts to reach level six?
Xu Shuo had only played through a dozen or so scripts by now, and most of them were passed by taking advantage of the director's favoritism.
He needs to go through dozens of second-level scripts to reach level three now.
Of course, if he doesn't go through second-level scripts step by step, but instead takes advantage of Script Space bugs to jump levels and farm third-level scripts for deduction points, he might be able to level up quickly.
But third-level scripts are indeed much more dangerous than before, and most of them are said to be mutant scripts.
Thinking about his path to leveling up, Xu Shuo fell into deep thought.
"By the way, do you have any other questions?" At this moment, Shi tentatively asked.
"What's up?" Xu Shuo looked towards him.
"I've just received an urgent task and need to leave now, sorry," Shi apologized.
"It's me who held you up, go ahead if you have urgent matters," Xu Shuo said.
As soon as his words fell, Shi stood up without any hesitation to take his leave. He walked toward the restroom of the coffee shop, went in, and never came out again.
Who knows if the person watching the surveillance would be scared.
Xu Shuo withdrew his gaze and continued to sip his coffee while musing over the matters involving Script Space, when suddenly, he felt as though he had forgotten something.
...
"Eh? I seem to have forgotten to take my stuff back."
After returning to his own Script Space, Shi suddenly realized that he had gone today to deliver two million to Xu Shuo, for the purpose of redeeming his Rule Object.
That Rule Object could withstand any level of energy attack twice; it was a very decent high-level defensive weapon.
Of course, he had to take it back!
But after being dragged to the coffee shop and bombarded with a barrage of questions, followed by an urgent mission that needed attention, he completely forgot the purpose of his visit.
Moreover, he had to check on that person's spiritual power status.
"Forget it, I'll go back another time, and besides, that world requires long-term observation," Shi muttered to himself. He casually opened the spatial panel, sent an application through, then turned and stepped into the unfolded Light Gate, disappearing.
His application quickly arrived in a certain space, and golden characters emerged on a stone slate.
[ID EA1029392178.]
[Report of spatial anomaly.]
[Application for permanent investigation.]
But before the application could be uploaded further, a slender, white hand came over, swiftly and fiercely swiped it off the slate, and a gentle tinkling sound flashed by.
On the other side...
Just as Shi stepped out of the Light Gate into the Abyss Battlefield and had not yet steadied himself, he received the reply from Script Space.
[Your application has been denied.]
Shi: "???"
...
...
Probably, no one had imagined that there would be an enigmatic controlling entity manipulating everything within Script Space.
Meanwhile, at the small manor, several instructors who were mentoring students gathered to watch a mini-film, collectively critiquing and discussing the students in the plot.
"Pianning is doing quite well, leading a team for the first time and yet so calm and decisive."
"It's alright I guess, but I think she's a bit too impulsive in some places, probably worried that hesitating might cause her to miss opportunities," said Feng the Fifth, her instructor, smirking as she spoke.
"Very commendable indeed, going straight for the attack on the Paradise Bird was the best decision, the girl has some ruthlessness in her!"
"High praise, but she still needs to improve."
"Hey, why can't Can, that kid, change his habit of being jittery?"
"I managed to train him to quickly calm down during battles, which was tough enough, but no matter how many times I tell him, when the situation arises, he still thinks running is the best option," Wen Yan said nonchalantly, supporting his chin, as he appeared completely resigned.
"He still needs to go through more life-threatening scripts."
"Forget it, I've thrown him into an Abyss Script before, and when he came out, he was still the same. It's fine as long as he doesn't die."
"..."
Some instructors have the confidence to be carefree.
"Rao, your student this time seems quite good, although not very active, he remains calm in face of events." Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"Of course, when have I ever set my sights on a student with subpar conditions?" Hong Rao spoke with a slight hint of joy, curving her lips upward.
"It's rare that you find a good student again, but letting him breeze through the first-level script like this isn't really good training."
"Don't worry, I have it under control. I definitely won't let him go so easy on the second-phase scripts."
"Which aspect is he more focused on?"
"I'm planning on developing his spiritual power and soul strength. This kid doesn't like being in the limelight, so he'll likely pursue a mentoring role in the future; there's no counting on him to go out and battle."
"Well, later on, he could interact and learn from Wei Ya since she's been fascinated with studying psychic powers after coming out of 'Free Night,' and it happens that her combat ability isn't that high either," said Merlin, Wei Ya's mentor, somewhat helplessly.
"That's a possibility."
"Speaking of which, Banqian surprised me this time around, he could try being a team leader next time we form a team."
"I remember Sikong has a new student who is about the same level, is he joining next time? It's likely there will be a competition for the position," said Yin Banqian's instructor, pausing in surprise.
