"Using the calculation here as an example, there are batteries in the flashlight, bullets in the gun, and these are consumables that are below excellent quality. They will not take up much space in the inventory even if they are stored inside tools or equipment. The wrench is not something obtained from this scenario, so it will not be calculated. Items like this won't appear in the settlement menu.)
"The reward for solving the worldview sure is crazy …" Feng Bujue said. "Not counting the 240, I only got 60 Skill Points from the whole scenario."
"Brother Bujue! We're rich! "Wang Tanzhi exclaimed excitedly in the team channel." I've reached level ten! I've gotten more than 20,000 Game Coins! "
When Feng Bujue heard that, his instinct told him that Xiao Tan had gotten more than 60 Skill Points and less than 150 Skill Points. He replied, "I saw it. There's a level indicator on the team list." He had also seen the friend request from Long Aomin. He clicked accept and said, "Don't forget to accept Brother Long's friend request."
"Yes, I've already accepted it," Wang Tanzhi replied. "You can join his party."
After a few simple actions, Long Aomin's voice appeared in the channel. "Yo, your levels have doubled. Brother Feng is now level eleven." His level was the same as Feng Bujue, level eleven.
Of course, someone would ask, "How did this happen?" So, let's take a look at Feng Bujue's character details.
IGN: Feng Bujue. Level: 11. EXP: 135011000
Skill Points: 430. Game Coins: 51500
Proficiency: General Ability F, Workmanship F, Sleuthing F, Fighting F, Marksmanship F.
Inventory 710: Mario's Wrench, Eye of Hostility, Western Kitchen Knife, Baseball Bat, Flashlight x2, M1911A1 Pistol.
Log-In Lobby 130: Puzzle Card: Monkey.
Everyone saw his EXP bar. That's right, the EXP required to level up from level 11 to 12 was 11000, not 1100.
The EXP required to level up in Thriller Paradise would change every ten levels. Level 1 to 2 required 100 EXP, then level 2 to 3 required 200 EXP, and so on. Level 10 to 11 required 1,000 EXP. Then, when the player reached level 11, they would see a shocking leap in EXP.
Other than the 1,500 EXP and 1,200 Skill Points, Long Aomin also gained 170 Skill Points. Sometimes, the Skill Points gained during battle could be as accurate as a single digit. He also gained about 4,500 EXP from clearing the dungeon. However, when he reached level 11, he was shocked. He was still 8,000 EXP away from level 12.
The two chatted for a while and then told Wang Tanzhi about the EXP after level 11. Long Aomin was the first to ask, "By the way, what are your titles?"
Feng Bujue answered casually, "Cold-blooded Head Cracker."
"Er …"
The other two had nothing to say to that, and there was a short silence.
Several seconds later, Wang Tanzhi laughed drily and commented, "Actually, this system is quite reasonable. Basically, in the scenario earlier, all your attacks were aimed at the head … and you were very cold-blooded."
"What about your title? Screaming Rich Kid? "Feng Bujue asked immediately.
"Why would there be a title like Rich Kid in a game?"
"You have a point … Rich Kid is a race, not a profession," Feng Bujue said.
"My title is Panicked Ambusher …" Wang Tanzhi was too lazy to waste time with him, so he quickly gave them his title.
Feng Bujue sighed. "Hmm … So, this is a way to express your panicked mental state and your inability to fight the enemy head-on … This system is quite accurate."
"Is that a needle? More like a stab, right? This kind of title will be looked down upon by strangers! "Wang Tanzhi said.
"The difference is not that big. Strangers will look down on you when they see your title, or they will look down on you when you scream for help …" Feng Bujue said.
"Haha …" Long Aomin laughed and tried to smooth things over. "Actually, Brother Wang, you don't have to worry too much. Titles can change after every scenario. After the scenario earlier, my title changed. Now, it's Team Defender."
The three of them chatted for a while. Long Aomin said that he had been online for a long time and planned to go offline to rest for a few hours. He would log back into the sleeping mode channel at midnight. Wang Tanzhi did not feel like playing that day, and he did not plan to play that night. Including the tutorial, he had played four scenarios in a row. If he continued, he would be torturing himself. Feng Bujue also said that he would go offline after getting the reward. It was not that he was too tired to play, but he was trying to control his level.
The level cap during the closed beta was twenty. For non-professional players, there was no need to rush to level up. When the number of players who reached this level exceeded ten percent of the closed beta players, the closed beta would end. Then, the server would shut down, and the open beta would begin after the system was fully upgraded to the official version.
Thriller Paradise had attracted many gaming studios. As mentioned before, on the afternoon of the first day of the closed beta, Feng Bujue could already find guides written by players above level ten on the forum. Obviously, most of them came from professional gaming studios. This group of people was professionals. They had a plan when they played the game. For a game like this, there would be two shifts. One group would wake up at 8 am in sleeping mode, and the other group would work in non-sleeping mode and change shifts at night.
Based on the related laws of 2055, the gaming hub had a strict limit on the players' online time. The time spent in non-sleeping mode in real life could not exceed ten hours in real life. Due to the 1: 10 time ratio in sleeping mode, the time spent in real life could not exceed eight hours, and the recommended limit was four hours. If the time limit for both modes was reached within twenty-four hours, the connection would be forcefully disconnected, and the player would have to wait for the next twenty-four hours before they could come back online.
In other words, a person could only play the game for eighteen hours in a day. Ten hours would be awake, and eight hours would be asleep. That was the limit. There was no point in changing the gaming hub because all the Neuro-connected networks would not accept the player's ID number. That was the law, and it was mainly for the sake of the user's health. When the Neuro-connected games were first invented, there were people who would stay connected other than eating or going to the toilet. Most of them died of sudden death or irreparable brain damage. Of course, this was not the gaming hub or the game's fault. Half a century ago, when the fourth-generation computers were still popular, there were many people who died suddenly in internet cafes. Who could be blamed for that?
After bidding farewell to Xiao Tan and Brother Long, Chen Ge ended the call and disbanded the team. Feng Bujue opened the door of the elevator and turned to enter the equipment slot.
There were still two glass pillars in the room. Inside the glass pillar on the left, there was already an item floating. It must be a gift from the Master of Time. If he hadn't sealed the Gate of Demons, this reward naturally wouldn't have existed.
Feng Bujue stored one of the two flashlights in his inventory in the log-in lobby, increasing his inventory's capacity to 610, and then he went to grab the item. In the meantime, he glanced at the special ability given by the title. The ability was displayed on top of the skill bar and did not take up much of the skill bar.
Name: Brain Concussion
Ability Type: Passive
Effect: When you hit the target's head with a blunt weapon, there is a 30% chance to stun the target for two seconds.
Remark: It's fine if you don't kill it in one hit. Put in more effort, it's just the tip of the iceberg.
The special ability of this title was not bad. After all, it was passive and did not consume Stamina Points. When fighting against low-level monsters, it should be useful when paired with Mario's Wrench. However, if he encountered a powerful monster, a non-humanoid monster, a ghost without a physical body, or a boss … then there would be no chance for Feng Bujue to hit the target's head with a blunt weapon.
Feng Bujue soon walked to the first glass pillar. There was a small glass bottle half filled with sand floating inside.
[Name: Slow Quicksand]
Type: Consumable
[Quality: Excellent]
Special Effect: When the container is broken, all monsters within a 100-meter radius will have their speed reduced by ten times. Lasts for one minute.
Remark: This bottle contains some low-quality time dust. If you are surrounded by a large group of monsters, this bottle might be able to help you escape.
"This is a valuable consumable with strategic value. Xiao Tan and Brother Long each have one …" Feng Bujue mumbled as he walked to the second glass pillar.
"Please select your additional reward. One, a random piece of equipment that corresponds to your level. Two, 50,000 Game Coins (Max). Three, 4,400 EXP."
At Level 11, the value of this Terror Rating was undeniable. Among the three rewards given by "Embodiment of Valor", the highest reward was 50,000 game coins. Putting aside the equipment, the reward of "40% of the current maximum EXP for leveling up" was simply too awesome.
Theoretically speaking, as long as Feng Bujue had not recovered from his illness, at any level, he only needed to survive two scenarios, and then he would be able to level up.
However, it was because of that that Feng Bujue did not want to choose the EXP reward. He was worried that his Terror Points, which would never increase, would attract the attention of the game company and be seen as cheating. Therefore, he tried to keep as low a profile as possible. After all, he did not want to level up too quickly.
Therefore, he chose the equipment again. Even though he was not lacking in weapons, both ranged and close-ranged, he was lacking in defense. He hoped to get a reliable defensive item.
