Chapter 71: Reality

Not long after Bai Liu left the game, he was walking and talking with Mu Sicheng.

"What is this panel attribute point?" Bai Liu asked, pointing to this from his Bursting Last Train reward, "Is it the thing I understand that I can add to each attribute at will to boost my panel attributes?"

"Yes and no." Mu Sicheng briefly explained to Bai Liu, "This game's player leveling is based on four attributes, Physical Strength, Agility, aka Speed, Attack, and Resistance, and the Attribute Points you gain can only be used to add to these four attribute bars. "

Bai Liu pondered, "My last game didn't reward this attribute point."

Mu Sicheng rolled his eyes, "This belongs to the system's extra rewards, your last rookie single player game copy already ate a [Personal Skill] extra reward, you still want to eat a [Attribute Points] extra reward, think of it is beautiful, this thing is very difficult to get, the second level of the game passes only give a hundred points, the system stingy, and this thing also can't add points without limit, to the limit of your potential, how you add panel attributes won't go up. You can't add points without any limit, to the limit of your potential, you can't increase the panel attributes any more."

"However." Mu Sicheng gave a subtle pause, "Many people die before they add up to the limit of their potential, since there are only a hundred attribute points for a Tier 2 game, players who aren't raised by a big guild or whose own skills aren't overly strong are easy to, but there is also a quick way to get panel attribute points, but few people will use it."

Bai Liu looks at Mu Sicheng: "What method?"

"Join the league." Mu Sicheng whispered, "That's how Spades became S-ranked and above, and the league rewards winning players with high attribute points."

Before Mu Sicheng finished speaking, several colorful virtual fireworks suddenly exploded in the game hall, and the fireworks fell colorfully to form a variety of words, attracting the attention of players coming and going.

[Heavyweight! Heavyweight! The annual horror gaming gaming league it's here! Don't miss it if you're passing by! This is the event of the year for all gamers!

The players saw this and moved away as if they had seen it again:

"Harm, I don't know which guild is so rich to start buying system fireworks to advertise so early."

"The season of support has begun well, from this week onwards, all the big guilds are going to start to advertise their own players like crazy, the King's Guild last time smashed 10 million points on advertising, almost didn't come back to this ......"

The virtual fireworks landed on the player, and the player's system panel automatically popped up a game event interface that looked like a grand opening:

[System Event - Horror Games Gaming League is about to begin!

[Players can choose their participation status - league player or spectator]

As a league player you have to fight with other players in the field, regardless of life and death, while as a spectator, you can watch a sound and powerful game competition, for their favorite teams and players passionate call, charge points].

[This is an athletic competition that bets on life and desire, have you, have you chosen your position, have you chosen to be a participant who is crazy and reckless in order to realize your desire, or are you a calm spectator like a god?]

......

[Requirements for players to participate in the league: 5 players who have played more than 52 times to form a team to compete]

[System: Every two teams will face each other in a team match, a pair match and a single match, and the one who scores the highest total points in the three matches will be promoted].

(Note: If a player dies during a match, he/she can be replaced by a new player)

......

There's a whole bunch of event details below that, like system store disabling for players during matches and such.

Bai Liu also had fireworks falling from his body, and this event advertisement popped up on his system interface, he briefly slid the system interface to look at it, and it felt a little bit like a real-life e-sports tournament.

But Bai Liu isn't really interested in this kind of gaming genre - after all, Bai Liu is a horror game maker, not a rivalry game maker.

But a horror game actually had a gaming league in it, which surprised Bai Liu a bit, but Mu Sicheng seemed to have known about it for a long time, he tsked and closed the system notification interface, and grumbled, "Annoying, the guilds and the system are starting to advertise all over the place again, and the league support season is really coming. "

"Season of Support?" Bai Liu looked to Mu Sicheng, "What does that mean? Is this the league you said had a high panel attribute point reward?"

Mu Sicheng nuzzled impatiently, "Just scroll down and you'll see, it's all propaganda ads, viral marketing."

Bai Liu scrolls down the system page to the end, and finds that, as Mu Sicheng said, the following is full of various players' and guilds' publicity pages, on which there are team posters and single player posters, and next to the posters there are also buttons for charging and liking, and the higher the combined stats of charging and liking, the higher the publicity page will be ranked.

The number one single player picture in the data rankings is a picture of a sideways-facing man with his eyes covered by bangs.

This person's lips were pale, his jawbone was thin, a long black whip was pulled on his cold□□thin wrist, the end of the whip was held in his hand, the side of his face was slightly upturned, the end of his eyes were long and slender, and he seemed to be squinting, giving a very stern and cold temperament, the picture of the player was still very mushy, but even to Bai Liu's eyes, which did not have a normal sense of human beauty, this guy was very superior looking, a kind of superiority that could be measured by the standards of fine arts. This is a kind of superiority that can be measured by art standards.

Very perfect bone modeling, makes Bai Liu think of Taville, but this person is much colder than Taville's looks, if Taville is the moonlight kind of fluorescent color confusing looks, this Spades is like a knife without a scabbard, as if more than a couple of eyes will be scratched eyes of the sharp appearance, even if this kind of high fuzzy photos, but also a blatant murderous aura and high indifference. Even in this high glossy photo, there is an overriding murderous aura and a lofty indifference.

Bai Liu clicked on the man's profile:

[Player: Spades]

【Currently, the combined data of support: 1.3 million, located in the first place among all participating players, unlocking the gold medal of exemption from death】.

(Note: Players have systematic shelter due to excessive popularity and are granted a gold medal of immunity from death. When the player is in a state of near-death in a competition game, he will be forced by the system to exit the game and be placed in a protective shield)

[Total Points Ranking: 1st]

[Guild: Killer Sequence]

Bai Liu followed by scrolling down, followed by the second player to support the single poster and Spades of the difference is very far, Spades's personal poster may be a passer-by casual street photography, this second personal poster is completely the kind of showbiz top team of fine-tuning pictures, even the sweat hairs on the face can be seen clearly.

The second is an old acquaintance that Bai Liu has long heard of - the poster is a snow skin black curly hair beautiful cheongsam girl, half-length curly hair, almond eyes and red lips, there is a Heart icon under the right eye, wearing a colorful red cheongsam and satin black high-heeled shoes, with one foot cocked and revealing the black stockings, the hand is washing a deck of cards. Shuffling a deck of cards, the expression of a smile and very lazy, looking very seductive, just a glance there is a kind of soul-stealing fragrance, the desire to come to the face of the gas.

[Player: Heart Queen]

[Current consolidated data of support: 970,000, second among all participating players, unlocking the gold medal of exemption]

[Total Points Ranking: 2nd]

[Guild: King's Crown]

......

While Bai Liu was watching, Mu Sicheng explained to Bai Liu: "There will be an e-sports league in this game every year after August, players can form their own teams to participate, of course, ordinary players go to play this is to send food, the league is the field of the big guilds, they are very thick, in order to participate in the league of the players to vote, these guilds will be in the game of fireworks, to engage in all kinds of tricks to do publicity, we called the season of support. fireworks in the game and engage in all sorts of tricks for publicity, we call it the season of support."

"The guild will also go on a rampage to scavenge the game to stockpile props to prepare and feed attributes to the competing players."

"This kind of big scavenging and publicity are annoying, it'll make it hard for players like me who don't care much about the league to even receive the props they thought of." Mu Sicheng couldn't help but spit out, "And this year I heard that the Puppeteer was originally a reserve for the King's Guild Battle Team, that's why the King's Guild put in a lot of effort to cultivate him, and that he himself was frantically scavenging for a new puppet, I didn't expect to die at your hands, they should need to change the reserve players."

"This year, the King's Guild was ambitious, they also introduced a newcomer called Little Witch, her personal skill can restore life value in the game, she's a very scarce player, she's been snatched up by all the major guilds, and this player is also the number one on the Rising Star list, and was finally snatched up by the King's Guild."

"Originally I heard that the King's Guild was going to use the Puppeteer's control skill and this little witch's healing skill to form a very peculiar tactic and was still practicing it, but Zhang Gui ended up being endangered by you, so they're going to change their tactics. "

Saying this, Mu Sicheng hummed a little gloatingly.

Bai Liu looked at the assortment of teams and players on the publicity panel, pondered for a while, and inquired, "I felt puzzled before, in this kind of life and death category of the game, why the audience's bounty will be so crazy, this first point of view charging adds up to a million and thirty thousand, and there are also gaming competitions this kind of athletic entertainment program. "

"The audience is just normal players, and it's a little unusual to be so entertaining in a game like this where life and death are at stake."

Mu Sicheng slid twice on his system panel and handed it to Bai Liu : "Because the audience is charging these participating players, not just charging them, but betting on them, the players can only get ten percent, the system draws five percent, and the rest is all bets."

[Warm reminder from the system: eighty-five percent of a spectator's charging points for a particular player wagered prior to the game will go into the gambling system, and if that player wins the contest, the spectator will win the loser's charging points]

[Small bets are good for the heart, big bets hurt the body, please charge at the discretion of the players, moderate gambling]

"What's a million and three hundred thousand dollars? "Mu Sicheng said, "You didn't see last year's league, playing the final when both sides charging points to fight to a hundred million, and now the support season has just begun, this data still have to go up."

"Usually the audience to us ordinary players charging are hairy, used to practice to raise newcomers just."

"One hundred million charging points ...... "Bai Liu's focus quickly went askew, he converted it, even if the winning player only took ten percent, that would still be ten million points ......

Ten million points Ten million points Ten million points Ten million points ...... Bai Liu s gaze slowly turned deep.

And Mu Sicheng was still ignorantly science, "The champion's reward is 100 million points each, single and double matches, the first place in the group matches also have attribute point rewards, but I'm not sure about this, it's said that it's different every year, but the point rewards that the winning players get plus the proceeds from the middle charging draws, it's almost astronomical, once a year, the whole family will be full, the whole family not go hungry, so the league guilds will put their best foot forward to prepare for the support."

Bai Liu's finger placed on the system panel hovered and stalled for five seconds, his gaze froze for a long time when he heard [One hundred million dollars each], then Bai Liu calmly took a deep breath and quickly flipped to the enrollment screen that he had scanned through earlier.

Screw the story game experience! He's going to compete! Let him compete!

Bai Liu's mind was instantly filled with only that one hundred million points, it's not an exaggeration to say that right now his eyes to his brain were stimulated into the shape of coins by that one hundred million, and he quickly flipped to the enrollment screen:

[Time to registration deadline: 2 (months):01 (days):7 (hours):34 (minutes)]

[Players are still short of the requirements for participation: 50 copies of the game, 4 teammates]

Not even close.

Bai Liu slightly cooled down a little bit, rational thinking - he only has 61 days left, but also have to go through the game copy 50 times, the average real time of more than a day to go through a game copy, even if the game copy of the flow of time is even slower, a game a day, his spirit is not necessarily to hold up, to be honest, the game of consumption of him To be honest, the consumption of the game on him is also very big, otherwise Bai Liu would not go out every time to sleep so dead ......

But then his eyes glanced at the 100 million points rewarded by that game.

Mu Sicheng is still chattering, "But this competition has nothing to do with us newcomers this year, you have to pass 52 copies before you can participate, I usually do it once a week, and now I've only passed 26 times with two months left, so how can I possibly make up this number of copies ...... "

As he was talking, Mu Sicheng met Bai Liu's eyes, and he couldn't help but shiver and take two steps back, "Bai Liu, what are you doing to me?!"

Bai Liu smiles, "Friend, stay up all night playing games? The kind where you play 50 copies in two months?"

Mu Sicheng: "？？？？？"

------

Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu logged out of the game together, at Bai Liu's house.

The fastest way for two people to communicate is to log out directly from the same player's exit.

Each player's logout is a twelve-digit string of numbers, sort of like a password, that the player enters to transport you to the logout corresponding to the string of passwords after the logout has been determined.

The initial password for a player's logout is the default logout address for the place where they first logged in. The first time Bai Liu doesn't enter a password in the game, he will log out from the same place he logged in.

For example, if Bai Liu logs into the game from his home, the game will generate a 12-digit password for him, and this password corresponds to the logout exit of Bai Liu's home, so whoever enters the password can logout from [Bai Liu's home].

Mu Sicheng was still a college student, he logged in from his dorm room, Bai Liu would have been arrested by the hostess if he logged out from his dorm room, so the two of them chose Bai Liu's small rented house to log out.

But as soon as we logged out of Bai Liu's house, Mu Sicheng just said bitterly: "Bai Liu, listen to my advice, don't enter, and you can't even make up enough people to enter, how can we enter with only two of us? ...... "

Before he could finish his sentence, Mu Sicheng stopped, and he looked at the little boy sleeping on Bai Liu's bed with a very strange gaze, his face full of tears and exquisite appearance.

Mu Ke didn't know what he had gone through in the game, crying with tears all over his face and some red marks on his wrists and ankles, looking like he had been whipped, he hugged Bai Liu's shirt and buried his whole head in it, curling up into a small ball on the side of the bed like a very insecure little animal, cowering on the side of the bed like a cat, and sleeping soundly.

Bai Liu was not surprised, he didn't give Mu Ke on the bed too much of a look, he walked past Mu Ke's bed without looking at it, and casually replied back to Mu Sicheng, "It's three, and this one on the bed will be competing too."

"？？？？？" Mu Sicheng was full of questions, "Shit, Bai Liu, are you serious? Who is this guy?"

It's not that Mu Sicheng couldn't recognize Mu Ke with a limp, he really didn't expect Mu Ke, the newcomer who was in the same batch as Bai Liu, to appear in Bai Liu's bed in such a form. ......

Bai Liu turned around and looked at Mu Sicheng for a second, "Mu Ke, the new player I brought out of the game last time, I'll bring him along to brush up on the books."

Mu Ke and Bai Liu are both pure rookies, and both have 2 games, Bai Liu and Mu Ke owe the same number of games, so he can just take Mu Ke and brush enough books at the same time.

Mu Ke also logged out from Bai Liu's house last time, he knew the logout password of Bai Liu's house, and it was also within Bai Liu's expectation that Mu Ke chose to log out from Bai Liu's house again after passing the game.

Bai Liu let Mu Ke play the game on his own before entering the game, he would not intervene too much, and suggested Mu Ke to choose the single player game, if Mu Ke could survive this time he would start to take the training of Mu Ke seriously.

Bai Liu didn't like to communicate with people with weak minds, he was too good at making excuses for himself, so Bai Liu decided to try Mu Ke first, if Mu Ke could successfully pass a game on his own, then he would try to cultivate Mu Ke, so as not to lead to Zhang Gui's situation - the King's Guild spent a lot of The King's Guild spent a lot of resources on training Zhang Gui, but Zhang Gui himself relied too much on his puppets and his own absorbed intelligence, and ended up in Bai Liu's hands, leading to a lot of sunk costs.

Bai Liu doesn't like to do things with sunk costs, but he does like to do things with high cost feedback.

It seems that Mu Ke should have passed the level on his own, but after passing the level, the intense uneasiness of being on the brink of life and death made him subconsciously choose to log out from Bai Liu's house, which was a kind of seeking for appeasement, and also a kind of proving himself - Mu Ke wanted to show Bai Liu at the first time after passing the level, that he did.

Kind of like the kid who cries while showing his parents the paper after getting a hundred percent on a good test.

Bai Liu, a parent, took his white shirt and suit pants to the bathroom to change, and a few minutes later, came out of the bathroom in human form.

Mu Sicheng was now cowering in the corner as if he had seen a ghost, far away from Mu Ke on the bed. Pointing at Mu Ke on the bed, Mu Sicheng asked Bai Liu, who had come out of the room after changing his clothes, with an expression and tone of voice that was hard to explain: "...... You abducted that new player you saved last time into bed! That new player you saved last time, you abducted him into bed?

"He wanted to come on his own, and he also has a logout number here at my house, so I can't do anything about it." Bai Liu did not in the least notice Mu Sicheng has thought crooked, "I was prepared to release him before, but now the time is urgent, I want to compete, the hand and the cards are not much, he is also quite obedient, I think I can take him to brush the copies of the cultivation of him."

After Bai Liu learned that he could get 100 million points by participating in the league, he was like a man possessed and insisted on participating in the competition. Mu Sicheng couldn't persuade him to do so, so he asked Bai Liu where he could find people to team up with him as he needed five people who had participated in the game for more than 52 times to form a team.

Even if we force Mu Sicheng himself, who is still short of more than 20 games, Bai Liu's side is still short of three players.

But the way Bai Liu looked just now, he was obviously prepared to take Mu Ke, who had only played two games like himself, to the competition!

This is simply a joke! To brush the game fifty times to reach the enrollment line without sleep for two months, even if Bai Liu's insane mental value could withstand it, how could Mu Ke, an ordinary player, withstand it?

Mu Sicheng couldn't hold back and pointed at Mu Ke who was still on the bed, "Bai Liu, you're a psychopath who might be able to power-swipe fifty times, but Mu Ke, a newcomer? He should have just gotten out of the game, and he's still injured. Do you know what happens when a player comes out of a copy of a game with injuries? Me and you can come out without injuries."

Bai Liu fixed his tie and swept his eyes over the injuries on Mu Ke's wrists and ankles, eventually landing on Mu Sicheng's face, asking, "Under what circumstances would a player come out with injuries?

Mu Sicheng casually found a chair and flipped it over to sit down, he had expended a lot of energy in the game and looked lazy, but apart from the fact that the person was a bit out of breath, Mu Sicheng's body was indeed free of injuries.

Mu Sicheng rested his head on the chair and raised his eyes to Bai Liu who was tying his tie : "Injuries in the game can only be brought out if he decides that he is injured and is not curable, then the game will obey the player's intention to let you bring out the injuries, in general, only in cases of extreme fear, such as when the spirit value drops below 10, usually a person will lose the perception of the game and feel that he is not in the game but in reality, then he will feel that he is really injured and this injury will be brought out."

Saying that, Mu Sicheng looked at the boy on the bed who looked very fragile from his body movements and appearance, namely Mu Ke, and looked at Bai Liu with a very disapproving look.

"A player coming out of the game prone to carrying injuries only shows that the player's mental quality is not good and his panel potential is not high, and if I remember correctly, this Mu Ke is still an impersonal skill player, isn't he?" Mu Sicheng raised his eyebrows and asked back, "Are you sure you want to bring him to the competition, what's the difference between that and giving away food?"

"But I can say that, to some extent, the last copy of Exploding Last Train, I was able to pass from the game without any problems with the help of him." Bai Liu raised his eyes to Mu Sicheng and said without hesitation.

Bai Liu ended up relying on that [Mermaid's Amulet] of Mu Ke's to have the undercard to face off with a god-level NPC, and it was also by relying on this [Mermaid's Amulet] on Mu Ke's hand that Mu Sicheng was snubbed in.

According to Mu Sicheng, Mu Ke would come out with injuries, so he must have reached the level of extreme fear and urgency in his own copy of the game.

But he still didn't use the [Mermaid's Amulet] prop in his own single-player copy of the game, and he left this, his most precious survival prop, to Bai Liu.

Just because before entering the game, Bai Liu and he mentioned a sentence, I may use your props [mermaid's amulet], Mu Ke even on the mental value fell to the level of fear of confusing reality and the game, he did not use the props, but also tried to run out of the game with a full of injuries.

It's the same approach as Mu Sicheng did in Exploding Last Train.

"You and he both have the same value in my heart, Mu Sicheng." Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng, his eyes had few ripples, "Because you both have honored your deal with me in desperate situations, and I respect that, it's all the more reason why I can't renege on my and your agreement, I said that if he can come out on his own this time, I will train him well and let him live."

"Just as I won't give up on you, I won't give up on him so easily." Bai Liu looks over to the battered Mu Ke on the bed and lowers his eyes, "Because you've both proven to me how valuable you are to me."
