Chapter 1 A Slender Teenage Gambler
Aichen stood in a strange dark room, looking at the night view of the city through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It was a street he was familiar with, and he could see his family's old house. Sixteen years ago, he was born in this city. An hour earlier, he had died in a tragedy.
As a person who has come back from the dead, his appearance has not changed, his face is a little round, his eyes are also round, and he looks pure and lovely. The height is the lowest among the boys in the class, and the weight is also the last. In short, it looks like there is a lack of male hormones.
He had been resurrected from the dead for an hour, and had come back to life almost immediately at the moment of death, and had come to this room. It's the same comic he read called "Killing City".
The weird stuff doesn't stop there. After arriving here, a strange voice that appeared out of nowhere kept communicating with him, telling him why he had come back from the dead, and what mission he needed to complete next.
The exchange lasted for a full hour, and Aichen appeared relatively calm. Listening carefully and asking occasional questions, I quickly understood the current situation.
myself, into a weird game. As a participant in the game, he needs to compete against the other ninety-nine people to win. Old-fashioned battle royale scenes.
"Voice of the Mystery, I have one last question."
The voice of the mystery has been spoken in a serious and cold voice for an hour. If he is a customer service staff, he can be regarded as a five-star praise.
"Ask, Competitor. After asking, please hurry up and start your game. Others have already started picking items before you. β
Aichen nodded into the air and asked.
"You said before that the people involved in this game are all high-IQ elites. But I'm just an ordinary person, and even passing the exam is a problem. Why should you choose me? Is it just a matter of making up the numbers? β
Many competitive games just need to have some miscellaneous fish to serve as bait for elite bosses. At the beginning of the game, the boss who knows how to hunt trash fish will roll the snowball with ease and quickly grow into the ruler of the game.
"You've got a specialty." The voice of the mystery is still so serious, "You are not a victim of the number, you are an important character in the game." With you, the game adds a lot of variables. In this way, it is ornamental. β
'Watching? Archen noticed the word, but it wasn't the time to think about it, it was time for the game to begin. "Thank you for answering for me, please start the game."
The next second after saying this, a red ring mark appeared on the back of his hand. It's a bit like the home button of a domestic mobile phone. Press,A menu interface full of science and technology appears in front of you,Pretty good UI design,Three virtual buttons are arrangedγ
"World selection, prop selection, attribute consumption." Aichen clicks on the item selection to enter the sub-options, three choices, "Equipment Purchase, Enhancement Item Purchase, Random Gift Pack." β
According to the explanation made by the voice of the mystery in the previous hour, Aichen made a summary of the general content.
[An individual or organization with mysterious power has launched a competitive competition with a hundred competitors. Everyone will be assigned a type of currency called 'Power Points', buy things such as 'items, exercises, and attribute values', and then go to another world to find fighters, and use the items they buy to strengthen the fighters they find, and bring them back to participate in a 'Battle Royale Game'. γ
In this game, winning to the end is the ultimate goal, and fighting is an important means to achieve victory. And the main combatants can be competitors like Aichen, or the 'otherworldly warriors' that Aichen is looking for. As for the winning rewards, there seems to be something else besides more energy points and progress to the next round of the game, which is kept secret by the Voice of the Mystery, saying that it will be announced in the middle of the game. As for the punishment after losing the game...... The Voice of the Mystery states that death occurs in every game, but most people survive to move on to the next round.
Ai Chen summarized this game, some of which are like economic games of 'treasure hunting', 'cultivation' and 'confrontation', "very similar to Vanilla Society's "Great Knight Story". β
Making good use of the items exchanged for power points and raising a powerful legion is the core of this game.
If he hadn't come back from the dead, Aichen would never have believed what he saw. Now that the game has begun, what he needs to do is simple.
'Anyway, let's take a gamble!' β
When he saw the words 'random packs', he had lost interest in the other options. I didn't ask the price, I bought one without even thinking about it.
With the sound of gold coins falling into the pocket, the gift bag was displayed in front of Aichen's eyes in a rather AR appearance.
"Blue Martial Arts Pack. Martial Arts ...... Isn't this a signing? β
He hurriedly clicked on the enhancement props column, retrieved all the high-priced goods, and at a casual glance, it seemed that they were all related to magic, Xianxia, and biotechnology-
"Magic Net Weaving Divine Technique, Divine Points, SSS-level Angel Legion, Godhead Enhancement Pack, Spiritual Root Enhancement Pack, Space Tree, SSS-level Portable Blessed Land, Hell Star Control Volume, SSS-level Immortality, SSS-Level Hell Blood Pool, Holy Light Energy Vial (Unlimited) ......"
There doesn't seem to be anything to do with martial arts.
The price of these high-priced goods is in the nine-digit and billion-dollar range. The Voice of the Mystery only gives Archen a measly 500 energy points, which seems to be the number that all players initially have. A gift pack had already cost him 480, and he only had 20 left.
"Sure enough, I didn't hit the jackpot." Archen then rummaged through some medium-priced consumables. "Well, I'll see...... Beastmaster System, A-Class Portable Island, Dream Exchange System, Portable Online Shopping System, A-level Immortal Elixir, 10 Liters of Growth Spiritual Liquid, SSS-level Space Seal, Merit System, Sin System ......"
After reading for a long time, most of the systems are in the middle price range, mostly about 100,000 prices. It's all something familiar.
Looking at the 20 energy points he had left, Achen will run to see the item with the lowest price. The ending was disappointing to him.
"Coin boxes, gold bars, jewels. These require an energy point. Basic food packs, basic daily necessities packs also need a little. Wine gift bags, food gift bags, and luxury clothing bags need two points. β
Aichen had already begun to regret the gamble. For him, regret is a common thing.
The Voice of the Mystery says that the addition of Archen will make the game more variable. This sentence should be based on one of his 'characteristics' - the gambler.
As an ordinary high school student, Aichen comes from a poor family and has a pair of gambler parents. On the worst days, the family's dinner consisted of a free dumpling from the mahjong club.
If you are someone else's parent, you will give food to your children, and you will be hungry and say, 'I have eaten outside'. However, Aichen's parents didn't do this, but gave him a choice-
"Either divide these dumplings equally, and the three of them won't have enough to eat. Either use the dice to gamble, and the winning ones are full, and the losers are hungry. β
Similar things often happen in life, and Aichen has never hesitated to choose to gamble. He prefers to seek a 'happiness' rather than an unsatisfactory 'stability'. Therefore, he very irrationally chose a random package.
"Forget it, this mall is endless, and it's annoying to watch. Let's open the gift package first. It's a big deal to lose the game and die again, it's not like you haven't died! β
Click on the bundle and six items will appear in the form of cards. These are item cards, introduced by the Voice of Mystery, that can be exchanged for physical objects at any time.
Cards are graded, the worst being white common, with blue rare, purple epic, orange legendary, and pink supreme on top.
The six cards are all blue sky and white clouds, one blue belt and five white. Aichen casually grabbed a white card and read it, "Seventy years of power card?" Sounds pretty good, but that's also a white card? β
Grabbed another one, "Thirty comprehension points." I don't know, so I'll have to look at the manual in a moment. β
Caught again, this time it was a blue card, and the content described on it made Xiao Aichen's eyes shine.
"Barbarian Xuangong Talent Tree?" His intuition told him that this wave didn't seem to have lost much, so he went to the mall to search for a wave, and soon found a prop with the same name and surname. "This thing costs 980 power points. More than doubled. β
The gambling won the gamble, which swept away the haze in Ai Chen's heart, and he was so happy that he didn't say a word and directly used this talent tree on himself.
According to the rules of the game, what you can buy in the mall can be used on the 'warriors', or you can use the competitors themselves, and there is no limit. However, the game will be played in many rounds, and if a competitor dies, he will be resurrected after the game, regardless of whether he wins or loses. A warrior dies but is not treated unless he pays a lot of money to live.
Therefore, it seems that the main strengthening of the warrior is the correct way of thinking, otherwise the warrior will die in waves, and everything consumed on the warrior will be wasted, and it will cost a thousand energy points to buy it alive, which is very cost-effective.
Ai Chen recognized this logic, but he couldn't wait to see the prize he gambled on, and he didn't have the patience to wait. As for the warrior or something, isn't there still five white cards, so let's make do with it.
