Chapter 37: Incredible
Hearing this question, Li Minkai's face was not very good, and he was a little embarrassed: "Level 1..."
Chino wondered, "How many missions have you completed?" β
"6 times."
"Completed 6 missions, or Tier 1? What are the evaluation criteria for team rank? β
Li Minkai sighed: "What determines the level of the team is the reward points that have been consumed - the reward points are the rewards we get after completing the mission, which can be exchanged for weapons, armor, bloodlines, etc. β
Resembles a triple shackle of respect. Chino thought to himself.
Li Minkai continued: "The more reward points are used, the higher the team level, and the more difficult the tasks will be. Normally, the team that completes 6 missions should be 2 to 3 tiers. But our team is special, in order to control the difficulty of the mission, I never let my companions abuse the reward points, but spend them in key places and complete the task in a cost-effective way. β
Chino said with interest: "It is indeed a very cost-effective way to exchange a very small amount of reward points for the money of the target world, and then use the local forces to complete the mission. But if you want me to say, you are not a qualified captain, and it is just a little cleverness to control the difficulty to a low level and complete the task comfortably. β
Li Minkai tried to refute: "But our 6 missions are all unharmed!" The other teams have a casualty rate of over 70% in early missions! β
Chino: "What's the point of you doing 6 times without injury, and then killing the 7th quasi-team?" β
Seeing that Li Minkai fell silent, Chino didn't make it difficult for him, but thought of a very critical question: "Are the props and abilities that you reincarnators can exchange for the same as those who reject them?" β
Li Minkai wanted to cry without tears: "How do I know this?" I said, you're the first refuser I've ever met. β
Chino took out a ring in his arms: "You exchanged this thing, right?" β
Li Minkai glanced at it and nodded: "Well, the lowest-level D-level space ring can be exchanged for 1 D-level reward point." β
Chino entered the esteem system and searched for a moment, and soon found a ring with the same effect, which required 1000 esteem points.
Chino asked, "Can low-level bonus points be stacked to make high-level bonus points?" β
Li Minkai nodded: "Yes, 10:1 stacking, for example, 10 D-level reward points can be stacked with 1 C-level reward point, 10 C piles with 1 B, and so on." Premium bonus points can also be split in this proportion. β
Chino nodded, so it seems that what he can exchange with the respect system, and reincarnators can also exchange with reward points, they are all universal, but the medium required for exchange is different.
1 D-level reward point corresponds to 1,000 esteem points, and C-level corresponds to 10,000 points.
In the conversation that followed, Chino also learned that the way for reincarnators to become stronger is not only "reward points", but also "evolution points".
Bonus points are earned by completing quests and can be exchanged for items.
The evolution point is to awaken oneself through high-intensity battles and use it to evolve the genes in one's body.
In other words, the former was given to you by someone else, and the latter was spelled by yourself.
Bonus points will cause the party to rank up and the quest to become more difficult.
Evolution points do not, as they don't count towards the rating itself.
The effect of evolution points is similar to the "fear system" in the triple shackles, and Chino originally wanted to calculate their proportional relationship.
However, Li Minkai said that because he used local forces to complete the task and almost did not need to fight in person, he had never accumulated evolution points and could not provide a specific reference.
Chino had no choice but to give up.
Li Minkai was a little on pins and needles at this time: "I've said so much, you should be willing to let me go, right?" β
Chino couldn't help but wonder: "It seems that you really want to live." How much do you have left in the countdown to your mission? β
"3 hours and 12 minutes, ending at 18:21 local time."
"Even if I don't kill you, the countdown is over, and you don't complete the task, so you won't be wiped out?"
"Failure in the mission is not to directly erase it, but to deduct the surplus reward points from the reincarnation first. If the surplus of reward points is insufficient, the exchanged equipment will be confiscated, and the bloodline will be forcibly degraded, and if this does not cover the punishment, the obliteration will be carried out. In order to control the level of the team, I have a lot of reward points on my body that are not used, and it is okay to fail the task 10 times, so I can deduct it casually. β
"That's not in a hurry, there's still 3 hours anyway, it's still early, sit and continue to chat. Why did you end up in the world of reincarnation? β
Li Minkai seemed to think of something sad and angry, clenched his fists, and said in a deep voice: "My father is a good gambler, he owes a lot of debts outside, and the debt collectors came to insult my mother, I stabbed one to death with a knife, and then was beaten to death by the remaining few people. β
Chino: "You signed a contract with hatred, and you want to get stronger and go back for revenge." But after you complete the first mission, you find that among so many exchange options, there is no way back to your previous life, and since then you have lost the spirit of revenge, and you just want to survive, so you choose to be safe and smart. β
Li Minkai's body shook and looked at Chino in fear.
I just talked about my life experience, but I was deduced the key information that "reincarnators can't return to their previous lives".
The person in front of him is like a devil who can read minds, and he has no secrets in front of him.
Chino smiled as always, and his eyes seemed to pierce people's hearts: "Where are you while waiting for the mission?" β
Li Minkai lowered his head and muttered: "An independent plane, you must not find it..."
"What's the entertainment?" Chino asked.
Li Minkai sneered and said sadly: "There are many ways to entertain, eating, drinking, cooking, watching movies, playing games... With a few bonus points, you can create a beach, jungle, and snow-capped mountain that you can go in for a relaxing vacation. But this kind of life is also boring after a long time, no different from a hamster under house arrest. β
Chino: "While you're waiting for the mission, do you know the destination and information for the next mission?" β
Li Minkai nodded: "I can know some, destinations, mission objectives and the like." For example, this time, the information given by the "Cube" was..."
"Excuse me, interrupt. What is a cube? β
"When we exchange items and go to the mission plane, we all interact with a giant object in the reincarnation space, because it takes the shape of a cube, and we call it a "cube"."
Chino thought about it, behind this "cube", or itself, should be the so-called "supreme being".
He nodded: "In other words, you can only exchange items at the cube of the reincarnation space, but not when you enter the mission world?" β
"Yes."
"Okay, please pick up on the previous topic, about mission intelligence."
Li Minkai continued: "In this invasion, the information given to us by the cube is more detailed, and the mission location is clear: Xilin Town, which is subordinate to Twilight City, Beacon Fire Province of the Doguland Kingdom. The mission objectives were also clarified: Chino Van Heersing, the civil magistrate of Schilling Town. β
Chino stared into Li Minkai's eyes, observing every change in his expression: "Before the mission, in the reincarnation space, can you exchange information with other reincarnation teams?" β
Li Minkai shook his head: "This can't, you can only speak in the mission world, not in the reincarnation space." β
Chino just looked at him silently, his gaze getting deeper and deeper.
Li Minkai subconsciously swallowed his throat, and was stared at so that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he fidgeted.
Fortunately, Chino quickly changed the subject to a lighter one: "About the world of reincarnation, I asked about it. Let's talk about something else, do you usually listen to music? β
"Hmm."
"Listen to what?"
"Black RAP."
"Do you like Beethoven?"
Li Minkai was stunned: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it." β
"You haven't heard Beethoven's music?" Chino's eyebrows furrowed and he kept shaking his head, "No way, you've definitely heard of it." Haven't heard of Symphony No. 5 in C minor? Wow, wow, wow! Oooo
Chino hummed its melody in a fit of fascination, waving his hands in the air with meticulous precision, the rhythm and rhythm so well matched that it was impossible to tell whether he was waving along with the humming or humming with the conductor.
Li Minkai looked at Chino strangely, only thinking that this person was crazy.
After humming, Chino put his hands together: "How is it?" The melody is familiar, right? You've heard it, but you just don't know the name. β
Li Minkai shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." β
"Youβ" At this moment, the smile on Chino's face froze, replaced by a rare anger, "You??!! β
Li Minkai didn't know what was going on at all: "What's wrong with me?" β
Chino's face was expressionless, the muscles on his face twitched, and he said coldly: "You haven't even heard of Beethoven, what is the meaning of your life?" β
Li Minkai was directly stunned: "I haven't heard of Beethoven, I can't live yet?" I am not the only one in the world who has not heard of Beethoven, so many people have not heard of it, such as... Like a beggar on the side of the road! They haven't heard of it either, so can't they live? β
Chino: "You're confusing one thing. Alive, alive, these are two concepts. A person can be 'alive' as long as he has something to eat and water to drink. But if you haven't heard of Beethoven, can't understand his struggle against fate, can't learn to break free from shackles and express your own thoughts, it is only 'alive', not 'alive'. β
Li Minkai smiled sadly: "I don't care, I don't have such a high pursuit!" You're amazing, you're awesome, you're a great artist, okay? I'm just an ordinary person, I just need to live, I don't have to live. β
"Here's the problemβ" Chino's amber eyes filled with a smile, "I don't like people who haven't heard of Beethoven. β
Li Minkai froze completely in his seat, the remaining reason in his eyes collapsed, and he roared like a mad dog: "O you O Beethoven!" O you !! You OO thing, you didn't plan to let me go from the beginning! Now make up this disgusting excuse to kill me, right?! Lao Tzu for Beethoven O your whole family!! β
Chino spread his hands innocently and said very seriously: "I had planned to let you go before, but you said that you hadn't heard of Beethoven, so I changed my mind." β
Li Minkai was about to bite his lower lip, his mouth was full of blood, he took a deep breath, and his speech was full of crying: "Okay... I'm sorry... It's my fault that I didn't hear about Beethoven! I'll definitely listen to his songs when I go back this time! β
Chino frowned, looking disgusted: "Your statement is incorrect, Beethoven created 'classical music', not 'song'." Classical music is composed in a more complex and diverse way, and its connotations are more profound. β
Li Minkai was already going crazy, and his hand on the table struggled desperately, strangled out the blood marks, and hissed: "Okay! Classical music! Okay?! When I got back, I listened to every piece of his music... No! Listen to it a hundred times! A thousand times! Okay?! You let me go back!! β
Chino smiled and shook his head: "You're just trying to please me and let me let you go now, not really wanting to enjoy classical music." So, I'm sorry I can't let you go back. β
In Li Minkai's cry, Chino called Paladin in, motioned to drag him away for execution, and enlightened him quite pitifully: "If you want to open up, I will help you get rid of this 'living' skin, so that you have the opportunity to be reincarnated as a 'living' person." β
Li Minkai cried frantically at Chino's back: "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Leave me alone!! I'll give you whatever you want!! I'll give it all to you!! β
Chino raised his hand and motioned for Paladin to go out first.
Immediately, he gently closed the door, turned his face sideways, and looked at Li Minkai expressionlessly: "Did you lie to me just now?" β
Li Minkai looked frightened, and his eyes kept wandering: "I... I..."
Chino: "I asked you if you could exchange information with the other reincarnation teams before the mission started, and you said no. But as you said earlier, you're on an invasion mission for the first time. In that case, you should know nothing about the world I live in, how could you exchange the silver moon in advance at the cube, and then go to buy the desert horse bandits? Obviously, before you set off on the mission, you obtained the information of this world from others, and you know the habit of the desert horse bandits to treat money as their life, so you will make this arrangement. β
Li Minkai closed his eyes and cried in despair: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I did lie... Please forgive me this time..."
"Why are you lying?"
"Before the mission departs, the reincarnation team can indeed communicate remotely through the cube... The information we got was given by the reincarnation team who had been to this world before... They said that if the mission fails, in order to survive, you can exchange your life with the common information of the reincarnation world, which is not shameful, and it is not a big problem to leak it. However, the information that 'reincarnators can communicate before the mission departs' is top secret, and must not be told to those who refuse it..."
Chino looked at him playfully: "It seems that you are already a traitor to the reincarnation world." β
has come to this point, Li Minkai doesn't want any face, and shouts: "The most important thing is to survive!" Whoever wants to abide by these broken rules, go and keep them! I just want to live, what's wrong with that? Anyway, the other reincarnators don't know that I'm informing! β
Chino looked him in the eye: "Is there any other place for you to lie besides this?" β
Li Minkai's heart defense had already been broken, and he shook his head like crazy: "No!" Absolutely nothing! Every word I said earlier is true, I didn't lie to you! You let me go... Please... Leave me alone..."
Chino's gaze became playful: "I have one last question, as long as you can answer it, I will let you go, and I will never hurt you, I swear." β
Li Minkai is like a drowning man grasping the straw on the shore, looking at Chino with wide eyes, longing, expecting, praying for the hope of life.
The corners of Chino's lips rose, and his amber eyes filled with a smile: "How do you evaluate the place of Johann Strauss Jr.'s "Blue Danube" in the history of world music?" β
Hope is shattered, or rather, hope was not there in the first place.
"Ahh Yes!!! Yes!!!! This toying made Li Minkai completely collapse, screaming heartbreakingly, foaming from the corners of his mouth, and the whole person was like a mad dog with rabies, hysterical.
"Can't answer such a simple question?" Chino shook his head and turned away, "Incredible. β
