Chapter Fifty-Eight: It's a Serious Game
"How long have you been done?" Lei Ruoya asked Xu Ke a little unwillingly - if the two completed the assessment at the same time, then she could barely accept this result.
Xu Ke thought for a while, and then said, "Probably...... Five minutes, I was still wondering why no one had finished waiting so long. β
ββ¦β¦ You're hanging, aren't you? β
The flag of winning the first place had just been laid, and the cruel reality gave Lei Ruoya a hard blow - which made her very unhappy.
Seeing Lei Ruoya's performance like this, Xu Ke was a little helpless: "To be honest, I really didn't expect the content of the second act to be like this, inexplicably came to such a play, and the system was really messed up." Although the content of the test is very simple, including most of the adventurers, I should not have prepared at all, and I read more books and consulted more materials, which gave me a certain upper hand. β
But when Lei Ruoya heard the other party's obviously comforting words, she felt that Xu Ke's actions were as ugly as a successful student comforting a failed scumbag.
Lei Ruoya was silent for a while, and then suddenly let out a sneer: "Teacher Xu Ke, you can't talk nonsense...... I had already guessed before I came in that the second act would be like this. β
"Oh?" Xu Ke was a little surprised when he heard this, but considering Lei Ruoya's particularity, his reaction could be regarded as calm.
"I didn't expect the specific form of assessment, but I had already guessed it before I came in...... In the second act, the adventurer's strength is probably meaningless. β
"Miss Ruoya, how did you guess?"
"How did you guess?" Lei Ruoya repeated Xu Ke's question, with an unfathomable smile on her face, and replied with a seemingly unrelated answer, "This game ...... It's a serious game at the end of the day. The system has never been messed around. β
When he said this, Lei Ruoya paused, looked at Xu Ke's puzzled eyes under his glasses, and seriously threw a question at him: "Teacher Xu Ke, what do you think of the level setting of the Miracle Game?" β
β¦β¦
In the forest outside the city of Belia.
A middle-aged man, apparently an adventurer, was running at a high speed.
Judging from the middle-aged man's nervous expression and running speed, he was completely running for his life at this time.
His clothes were full of holes cut by sharp weapons, and the bare skin exposed from the holes was also covered with wounds of various sizes, although the man ran fast, his mental state was obviously a little sluggish, and it seemed that he had just escaped a wave of pursuit, and the pursuers behind him were still chasing.
After running for a long time, the middle-aged man finally stopped and looked up behind him a few times, and after confirming that there were no pursuers catching up, he leaned down to rest for a while.
But just as he was relieved, a feathered arrow suddenly flew out from the side without warning!
The feather arrow shuttled through the air and shot straight towards the middle-aged man, causing a terrible and sharp sound of breaking the air as it flew. The sound of breaking the air is like a sharp flute, and it tears through the surrounding air in an instant!
The middle-aged man was lowering his head at this time, and he didn't see the attack of the feather arrow at all, but the sound of breaking through the air that suddenly sounded in his ears instantly aroused his vigilance.
He didn't look up, he just subconsciously threw his whole body to the ground!
The concussive sensation of his entire body colliding violently with the ground in an instant made him very uncomfortable, but this uncomfortable feeling only stayed in his mind for a moment.
Because in the next moment, a terrifying feeling had completely occupied his mind!
"Whew!!!!!!"
A feathered arrow pierced the air with a fierce sound of breaking the air, grazing his shoulder!
The sharp tip of the arrow simply grazed the middle-aged man's left shoulder, tearing his shoulder and his clothes open.
However, this incident itself did not surprise the middle-aged man too much, what he was really surprised was ......
The opponent's arrow seemed to just graze his shoulder, but he had already responded to this attack at the first time, and the opponent's arrow still almost hit him.
Other words...... The moment the opponent shot the arrow, he had already predicted that he would fall to the ground, and shot the arrow straight towards the path where he fell!
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man's back was already completely soaked with cold sweat.
If you move a little slower, the other party's arrow will already fall on your heart!
The middle-aged man stood up from the ground trembling and found that the feathered arrow that had almost shot him in the heart was stuck at his feet.
The feathered arrows sank deep into the earth, and more than half of the arrows were underground.
"Tut-tut, it's really fateful." A slightly charming woman's voice came from a distance, and the middle-aged man was startled when he heard this, and immediately looked in the direction where the voice came.
A young woman with a bow stood on top of a large tree about 100 meters away, smacking her lips at the man, seemingly dissatisfied with the arrow's results.
The young woman was beautiful and had a bumpy figure, and a black tights outlined her perfect curves.
Ever since the woman appeared in the middle-aged man's sight, the man had been staring closely at the position of the woman's chest.
Naturally, he didn't have the heart to appreciate the other party's pair of large-scale murder weapons, why did he stare at the woman's chest in such a situation......
It was because he saw a badge pinned to it.
A plain iron badge.
But this badge made of ordinary black iron has a pattern on it that cannot be described as ordinaryβ
The motif features a long, sharp knife with the upper body of a black dragon.
The long knife in the pattern landed on the neck of the black dragon, as if it was about to slash off the dragon's head.
He suddenly remembered that he had seen this woman in the city of Belial.
At that time, I heard from my companion that this young and beautiful woman was a 60,000-level ranger, and it seemed that she was ......
It's affiliated with the Dragon Slayer Society.
β¦β¦
"Leveling?" Lei Ruoya's question made Xu Ke feel very strange, "Is there anything special about the level setting of this game?" Players level up after accumulating enough experience, upgrade to increase attributes, and when the level is high enough, they can change jobs to learn skills, isn't this a normal game setting? It's also common to see how you get experience and how much experience you need to increase for each level......."
Lei Ruoya smiled and shook her head: "Teacher Xu Ke, you've been here for a long time in the Miracle Game, have you even gotten used to its weirdest parts?" β
"Hey, that's not right......" Xu Ke was stunned for a moment after hearing this, as if he had remembered something, and then said to Lei Ruoya with a wry smile, "Having said so much, I have forgotten the most basic." β
"There is something special about the level setting in this game...... That is, the base of its level is too large. β
β¦β¦
Another part of the forest outside the city of Belia.
The tall man who had appeared in the Jiangnan leather workshop before slammed a heavy fist into the lower abdomen of a thin man.
This heavy punch carried a powerful force, and instantly threw the entire thin man's body away.
The emaciated man was knocked flying and slammed into the trunk of a tree, his features twisted a little by the intense pain in his flesh.
He was a well-known adventurer in Belial, having reached level 10,000 before the Dragon Slayer Society was founded, and belonged to a small group of adventurers who were extremely good at fighting.
Today is the seventy-first day after the start of the Miracle Game, and in the process of going out of the city to do his daily tasks, he met the tall man in front of him, and the tall man attacked him the moment he saw him, and made a fatal move, obviously trying to take his life.
The whole process baffled him.
He didn't know when he was targeted by this tall man, and he didn't know why the tall man wanted to attack him.
His level at this time had reached level 30,000, and he could be regarded as a powerful existence among adventurers.
But the situation in front of him made him desperate, because he knew very well what a powerful being this tall man was.
The tall man had a badge pinned to his chestβa badge with a long knife and a black dragon.
Although this was the first time the thin man had seen such a badge, he knew what it meant the moment he saw it.
The badge also helped him recognize the tall man's identity:
This tall man is one of the most famous leaders of the Dragon Slayer Society, Galen, an eighty-thousand-level warrior.
β¦β¦
There's a lot of weirdness about Marvel Games β and if anything, the very existence of this game is pretty weird.
But at the beginning of the game, when many adventurers are just getting their hands on the general outline of this world, there is definitely one thing that feels the most weird.
That is, the level of this game is a bit too arbitrary.
Many of the adventurers are well-versed in a variety of games, including many loyal players of the orthodox game, as well as fans of all kinds of hardcore and curious style games, but few have ever seen a game with such random levels as Marvel Games.
Cutting a slime can soar from level one to level 100, and if you can cut down an A-rank magical beast like a lion tiger at level 1, you can directly upgrade to thousands of levels.
And although this game has an incredibly high level, it is not a ridiculously high intensity entertainment game -
The stat bonus that comes with leveling up is negligible, and it may be better to go up a few hundred levels in a row in this game than to go from level 1 to level 2 in a normal game.
The pre-level for transferring to various basic occupations has also been raised to level 10,000, and it is even more important to learn various skills until level 30,000 or 50,000......
"The setting of the level of the Miracle Game is really ...... It's so casual. You can't say that his setup is unreasonable, because all of its ranks are correspondingly elevated. If you divide all the grades by a coefficient of about 1,000, it actually looks quite normal. Xu Ke smiled bitterly at Lei Ruoya, "But why do you say that the system is set up like this, obviously things that can be clearly distinguished at levels 30, 60,000, and 80,000, why do you have to make it 30,000, 60,000, or 80,000?" That sounds very inconsistent. β
Lei Ruoya glanced at Xu Ke seriously, and then said slowly: "This is a serious game, since the system wants to set the level so casually, it means ......"
"This thing is a casual thing for us adventurers."
"To be more precise, our so-called strength is just a random thing."
