Chapter 23 Settlement Rewards
The coffee beans suddenly froze in place, as if they had fallen into a long stupor.
Liu Siyong knew that the other party should have "left", but he didn't follow into the system to settle - he was curious, wanting to see how the possessed coffee beans would behave after the host left.
After about half a minute, the bean's dull eyes finally regained some of their brilliance. I saw him yawn as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and then said in a frivolous tone:
"How did I fall asleep? I feel like I've had a long dream...... Ah, I'm so tired......"
Liu Siyong looked at this coffee bean who had changed into a different person with great interest, and he was sure of one thing in his heart: if the task is done in the form of "possession", then once the parasitic person is separated, the main body of the body will return.
"Hey, I'll go! Where am I? Where's my wine? Where's my gold chain? Why am I wearing a number uniform?! The coffee bean who woke up suddenly noticed some "small changes" in his body, and immediately jumped to his feet!
His performance is exaggerated and trivial, and a string of profanities starting with F is blurted out unusually smoothly! Before he finished venting, he turned his head and saw Liu Siyong not far away!
"Oh my God, shit, who are you?!" The coffee bean pointed at Liu Siyong and exclaimed.
"This is a question that will take a few seconds to answer you. Also, remember to remind 'me' for a while, run away, the police chasing us should already be on the way." Liu Siyong smiled wickedly, and then, before the coffee beans spat out the fragrance, he sent a request to the system to leave.
"Mission complete, confirm to leave the current world ......"
The emotionless system prompt sounded, Liu Siyong only felt that his whole body was light, and his soul was fluttering out of his body, and then, all his senses fell into darkness.
Fortunately, this feeling of being lost did not last too long, in Liu Siyong's opinion, it was just an interval for ordinary people to take a nap, be confused and wake up immediately, and he had come to a new space!
This space is like a hotel room, or a hotel-style apartment, and it is only about 20 square meters as far as the eye can see. There was a bed, a table, a cupboard with a wall, a floor, and nothing else.
Liu Siyong wanted to go to the window at the end of the room to take a look, but suddenly found that he had no body to drive at all - to be precise, he didn't even have a pair of eyes, and all this was not what he "saw", but a kind of consciousness signal, which was fed back in his mind. This feedback is a kind of passive feedback that is implanted and simply cannot be actively explored.
"Welcome to the Ark, you have passed the assessment and are rated as normal ......"
"You have obtained an official identity, and the temporary number has been changed to an official number - KZ9924, you can create a code name for yourself for the system to call and communicate on the platform, or continue to replace the ...... with the number"
"Codename?" Liu Siyong was slightly stunned, and then shed a drop of sweat that didn't exist - this is really the same as playing a game, and you have to take a nickname in the game?
Suddenly, he remembered the various names he had taken when he used to play games. Undoubtedly, these names reflect the trajectory of his "taste". From junior high school, I started playing online games, and I got "The Wind is Xiao Xiao Xi Yi Shui Cold", "Wings of the Night", and later "The Whole Needle Teaches Never Be a Slave" and "Siyong is Not Sicong"...... This means that he has changed from a teenager who pursues a cool and handsome pretence to a joke and self-deprecation...... Youth!
However, the name that the ark wants him to draw up at the moment cannot be so child's play. Not to mention that this is a "game" about fate, the importance is not the same, and from the perspective of security, he can't take a name at will - "Coffee Bean" said that he should try to protect his true identity in the system from leaking, if he comes to a name like "Siyong is not Sicong", it is equivalent to a real-name system.
On the other hand, if he gets the title of "Yi Shui Han" again, he may vomit once the system calls him......
"Walker? Is this a good name? ”
This is the name that Liu Siyong came up with after thinking about it for a while, firstly, whether it is Wu Song or Sun Wukong, they are Liu Siyong's favorite characters, and secondly, the walker is also in line with his current identity of shuttling through other worlds, which is retro and elegant compared to the blunt title of "traveler".
"This title has been occupied......" The emotionless, unmasculine voice of the system sounded again!
"Huh?" Liu Siyong frowned - not because the title was "preemptively registered" in the ark, but because the name was used either by coincidence or ...... This is also a "ferryman" from the earth, China, and has read the four famous novels.
Originally, the first title also had the nature of experiments, but Liu Siyong didn't care. He immediately changed his title-
"Contemplative!" Liu Siyong handed in another name. The word is also a generic term, and if you call it a thinker or a thinker, it will quickly remind people of the masterpiece of a sculptor on the earth! Contemplative, which is another translation, is distinguished from the fixed name of the sculpture.
In addition to his soft spot for this sculpture, Liu Siyong has been thinking and exploring since he embarked on this strange journey, so it is appropriate to use such a title. And most importantly...... It's a bit of an X-square.
"This title can be used, do you want to confirm it?" The second submission of the salutation passed.
"Confirm." Liu Siyong didn't hesitate.
"Contemplative, you have officially boarded the Ark, this is your cabin, where you will avoid any harm......" The system then changed its title and began to continue the work.
"Avoid any harm...... Sounds secure...... If this giant ark capsizes, will it still be safe here? Hehe, just kidding, don't care......" Liu Siyong just subconsciously slandered, but suddenly thought that he was now using consciousness to communicate with the system, and his joke should not be misunderstood by the system, so he immediately clarified it.
The system doesn't seem to hear his "question", or rather, the system can't answer such an "out-of-the-box" question, or it doesn't bother to answer such a childish question...... In short, the system ignored him and continued to work:
"Now we will settle the mission rewards...... Comments: Normally, you can get 1.1 times the base reward. Now the harvest is worth 220 ......"
This time, the system not only has a prompt sound, but also an invisible screen with a text version written on it, which appears in Liu Siyong's room. Although they are all conscious perceptions, "visual" perception is still more impactful than "hearing"! Liu Siyong looked at his "Contemplative" account, and the number suddenly jumped in the column of hard work, and he actually had some excitement - even if he knew that the rewards for the entry task were very low - especially, the system actually jumped with the numbers, and made a series of crisp metallic sounds! Like the sound of a coin falling into its pocket.
"Complete one side quest, no evaluation, rewards are optional: 1. Randomly get 100 to 500 hard work points; 2. Randomly obtain skills or items worth IN-level to N-level; 3. Gain credit from 1 to 6 points; 4. Gain 1 potential point...... Please select ......"
There are actually four options for the reward settlement of side quests. This made Liu Siyong embarrassed - he hadn't figured out the mechanism of these items and skills yet!
He immediately requested a delay in settlement and then raised a question with the system. The system then replaced the virtual interface of the checkout with another one, similar to the in-game store, except that there were no bells and whistles, only unpretentious text descriptions and instructions.
But this also made Liu Siyong a little can't help but drool - when is playing games the most focused and exciting? Of course, it's when you see countless high-end equipment and Niu X's skills displayed in front of you! Although these things require a high price to redeem, looking through the descriptions of these things and seeing what they look like is enough to generate desire and motivation!
The "mall" of the Ark in front of you—or the exchange office—is shabby, but correspondingly, these things are related to the fate of the ferryman! So even if there are no pictures or special effects, Liu Siyong takes it very seriously.
After browsing for about half an hour, Liu Siyong finally figured out the structure of the Ark Exchange Office!
In general, there are two ways to redeem it here - Hard Work and Merit! According to the settlement of the tasks completed by Liu Siyong, the value of hard work belongs to the base currency, while the value of credit belongs to the high-grade currency, and the two are not exchangeable, and there is not even a value standard to measure. Most items in the "Mall" can be purchased with Hardship Points, but a few rare items can only be exchanged for Credit.
There is hard work without merit, but very hard work is not necessarily worth a penny - this proverb is very apt here!
Items and skills are the themes in the "Mall". They all have hierarchies. In the pages that Liu Siyong can see, their grades from low to high are: IN, N, R, according to Liu Siyong's speculation, these symbols represent the meaning: inferior, ordinary, rare. There is also a half-level interval between these grades, such as the so-called N+ grade, which means that the value is between N and R - this is not an informal rating, but only to distinguish the refinement of value.
Both items and skills are marked according to this level. Of course, is there a higher level above R? Liu Siyong couldn't judge, because the permission given to him by the mall was not high, and he could only browse a small number of items of the R level.
For example, IN-class items are similar to: Metal Refrigeration Weapons, Chain Mail, ...... These things cost between 10 and 100 points of hard work, and what does it do...... Anyone can guess eight or nine!
However, some descriptions other than the description of the item itself made Liu Siyong realize: no matter what level of item, there will be some restrictions - for example, Liu Siyong's last mission was in prison, so even if he has a Qingfeng sword worth 85 points of hard work, he can't bring it to prison! You can't bring planes or subways with you in a mission world...... By analogy, if you exchange for a revolver worth 145 points of hard work and go to a world without gunpowder technology, it will not be usable.
Of course, that doesn't make things look bad! There is no threshold for its usability – it can be redeemed and used, and there is no limit to the number of times it can be used (except for consumables...... These are the incomparable advantages of item-based items!
