Chapter 71: Reality

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

"What's this panel attribute point?" Bai Liu asked, pointing to this in his Bursting Last Train bonus, "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 simply explained to Bai Liu, "The player rating in this game is based on four attributes, Strength, Agility, which is the attribute bar of Speed, Attack and Resistance, and the attribute points you gain can only be used to add to these four attribute bars. "

Bai Liu pondered, "I didn't award this attribute point in my last game."

Mu Sicheng rolled his eyes: "This is an extra reward from the system, you already took an extra reward of [Personal Skill] in your last newbie single player game copy, you still want to take an extra reward of [Attribute Point], you are thinking fast, this is hard to get, only 100 points are given in level 2 game, the system is very stingy, and this thing also You can't add points without a cap, at the limit of your potential, your panel attributes won't go up no matter how much you add."

"But." Mu Sicheng gave a subtle pause, "Many people die before they can add to their potential limit, because a level two game is only a hundred attribute points and players who are not raised by a large guild or who are not overly skilled themselves, can easily, but there is a quick way to gain panel attribute points, but very few people use it."

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

"Play in leagues." Mu Sicheng whispered, "That's how Spades became S-ranked and above, and the leagues awarded high attribute points to the winning players."

Before Mu Sicheng could finish, several colourful virtual fireworks suddenly exploded in the game lobby, forming a variety of words that attracted the attention of the players coming and going.

[Heavy! Heavy! The annual horror game gaming league is here! Don't miss it! It's the event of the year for all gamers!

The players saw this and again moved away as if they were surprised to see.

"Harm, I wonder which guild is so rich to start buying system fireworks to advertise so early."

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

When the virtual fireworks land on the player, the player's system panel automatically pops up with a screen that looks like a grand opening for the game.

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

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

As a league player, you will have to fight with other players in the field, regardless of life or death, while as a spectator, you can watch a smooth and exciting game competition, call for your favorite team and players, and charge your praise].

[It's a game of life and desire, have you chosen your place, do you choose to be a crazy and reckless participant to achieve your desire or a calm spectator like a god?

......

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

[Scheme: Every two teams will face each other in a team match, a pairs match and a singles match, with the highest combined score in all three matches advancing to the final round].

(Note: A player who dies in a team during a match can be replaced by a new player)

......

There are also a whole bunch of event details below, such as the system shop being disabled for players in the tournament and such.

Fireworks also fell on Bai Liu and his system screen popped up advertising this event. He briefly swiped through the system screen to look at it and it felt a bit like a real life e-sports tournament.

But Bai Liu is not really interested in this type of gaming, after all Bai Liu is a horror game not a confrontation game.

It was a bit of a surprise to Bai Liu that there was a gaming league in a horror game, but Mu Sicheng seemed to have known about it for a while, as he tsked, turned off the system notification screen, and complained, "It's annoying, guilds and systems are starting to advertise everywhere again, league support season is really coming. "

"Support season?" Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng, "What does that mean? This is the league that you said had a high panel attribute point bonus?"

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

Bai Liu scrolled down to the end of the system page and found that, as Mu Sicheng said, the following pages were full of various player and guild promotion pages, with team posters and single player posters, and buttons for charging and liking next to the posters, with the higher the combined charging and liking stats, the higher the promotion page was ranked.

The first single player picture in the data ranking is a picture of a man with a sideways face with bangs covering his eyes.

The man's lips are pale, his jawbone is thin, a long black whip is held on his cold white lean wrist, the end of the whip is held in his hand, the side of his face is slightly upturned, the end of his eyes are slender and seem to be squinting, giving him a very stern and cold aura, the picture of this player is still very mushy, but even to the eyes of Bai Liu, who has no normal perception of human beauty, this guy is very superior looking, a kind of superiority that can be measured by fine art A superiority that can be measured by art standards.

If Tavel is the fluorescent glow of moonlight, this Spades is like a knife without a sheath, a sharp look that will scratch your eyes if you look twice. A high-minded indifference.

Bai Liu clicked on this person's profile.

[Player: Spades (Spades)

[Current combined support figure: 1.3 million, first among all participating players, unlocking the death-free gold medal]

(Note: A player who has been granted a system shelter from death due to his high popularity will be forced out of the game and placed in a protective shield when the player is in a near-death state during a competition game)

[Total Points Ranking: 1st]

[Affiliated Guild: Killer Sequence]

Bai Liu scrolls down and the second player's poster is a far cry from Spades'. While Spades' poster might be a casual street shot, this second player's poster is the kind of retouching that top teams in the entertainment industry do.

The second is an old acquaintance Bai Liu has heard of - the poster shows a gorgeous cheongsam girl with snowy skin and curly black hair, semi-long curly hair, almond eyes and red lips, with a Hearts icon under her right eye, wearing a bright red one-sided open cheongsam and satin black high heels, one foot crossed over the other, showing black stockings, and her hand She is shuffling a pack of cards, her expression smiling and languid, very seductive, just a glimpse of a seductive and lustful aroma.

[Player: Heart Queen (Hearts Queen)

[Current combined support stats: 970,000, second among all participating players, unlocking the death penalty]

[Total Points Ranking: 2nd]

[Affiliated Guild: King's Crown]

......

As Bai Liu watched, Mu Sicheng explained to Bai Liu: "In this game, there will be a gaming league after August every year, players can form their own teams to participate, of course, ordinary players to play this is to send dishes, the league is the field of the big guilds, they have a very thick base, in order to canvass for players participating in the league, these guilds will be in the game In order to canvass for players participating in the league, these guilds will set off fireworks in the game and do all sorts of tricks to promote, we call it the support season."

"The guild will also be raiding the game to store props to prepare and raise attributes for the participating players."

"All this scavenging and publicity is annoying and will make it hard for players like me who don't care much about the league to even receive the props that come to mind." Mu Sicheng couldn't help but spit, "And this year I heard that the puppet master was supposed to be a reserve for the King's Guild team, that's why the King's Guild put a lot of effort into training him, he himself was raiding like crazy for new puppets, I didn't expect to die by your hand, they should need to change the reserve players."

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

"I had 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 odd tactic and was practicing it, but then Zhang Gui got terminated by you and they had to change their tactics. "

At this point, Mu Sicheng grunts a little gloatingly.

Bai Liu looked at the assortment of teams and players on the promotional panel, pondered for a moment and inquired, "I've felt puzzled before, in a game like this in the life and death category, why is the audience's bounty so insane, this first point charge adds up to a million and a half, and there's a competitive entertainment item like an esports tournament. "

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

Mu Sicheng swiped twice on his system panel and handed it to Bai Liu: "Because the spectators give these participating players a charge, not just a charge, but a bet, the player only gets ten percent, the system takes five percent and the rest is a bet."

[System reminder: Eighty-five percent of the charge points of a player who bets on the spectator before the game will enter the gambling system, and if that player wins the competition, the spectator will win the loser's charge points]

[A little gambling is good for the soul, a lot of gambling is bad for the body, so please charge at your discretion and gamble moderately]

"What's a million and a half? " Mu Sicheng said, "You didn't see last year's league, when they played the final, both sides charged points to fight to a hundred million, and now the support season has just started, this figure still has to go up."

"Usually the audience charges us regular players with mere moolah to practice and raise newcomers."

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

10 million points 10 million points 10 million points ...... Bai Liu's gaze slowly turned deeper.

And Mu Sicheng is still cluelessly science: "The reward for the champion is 100 million points each, single and double, and the first place in the group tournament has an attribute point reward, but I'm not sure about this, I'm told it varies from year to year, but the point reward for the winning player plus the proceeds from the charging draw in between is almost an astronomical amount, and once a year the full Quan family is not hungry, so the league guilds will fight tooth and nail to prepare for the response."

Bai Liu's finger on the system panel hovered for five seconds, his gaze freezing for a long moment at the sound of [one hundred million each], before Bai Liu took a deep, calm breath and quickly flipped to the sign-up screen he had swept through earlier.

fuck the story game experience!!! He wants to enter!!! Let him enter!!!

Bai Liu's mind was instantly filled with nothing but that 100 million points, and it was no exaggeration to say that his eyes to brain were now stimulated into the shape of coins by that 100 million, and he quickly flipped to the registration screen:.

[Deadline for registration: 2 (months):01 (days):7 (hours):34 (minutes)]

[Players are still short of the entry requirements: 50 game replicas, 4 teammates]

Not even close.

Bai Liu cooled down a little and thought rationally - he only had 61 days left and 50 game copies to go through, on average, he had to go through one game copy a day more than the real time, even if the time flow inside the game copy was slower, one game a day, his spirit might not be able to hold up, to be honest the game was a big drain on him The game is also a big drain on him, otherwise Bai Liu would not sleep so much every time he goes out ......

But his eyes took another glance at the 100 million points that the game rewarded.

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

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

Bai Liu smiles: "Staying up all night playing games, my friend? Fifty times in two months?"

Mu Sicheng: "?????"

------

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

Because Mu Sicheng said he wanted to contact Bai Liu offline, but the game does not allow conversations about players' real-world information, such as specific addresses and specific phone numbers, just as it does not allow conversations about in-game information outside the game, what with phone numbers and WeChat and QQ numbers being blocked by the system once they are exported, so the fastest way for two people to communicate is to go directly from The fastest way for two people to communicate is to log out directly from the same player's etc.

Each player's logout is a string of twelve digits, a bit like a password, which, once logout is confirmed, the player enters to transport you to the logout corresponding to that string.

The player's initial password for logging out is the place where they first logged in and where the player logs out by default; the first time Bai Liu does not enter a password in the game, he will log out from the login address by default.

For example, if Bai Liu logs into the game from his home, the game will generate a 12-digit password for him, which corresponds to the exit of Bai Liu's home.

Mu Sicheng was still a university student and logged in from his dorm room. Bai Liu would have been arrested on the spot if he had logged out from his dorm room, so they chose Bai Liu's small rented room to log out.

But as soon as we logged out of Bai Liu's house, Mu Sicheng said in a bitter voice: " Bai Liu, take my advice, don't enter, and you don't have enough entries, how can you enter with just the two of us ...... "

Before he can finish his sentence, Mu Sicheng stops and looks at the delicate boy with tear-stained face sleeping on Bai Liu's bed with an eerie look.

Muke had no idea what he had been through in the game, his face was covered in tears from crying and there were red marks on his wrists and ankles that looked like he had been whipped.

Bai Liu was not surprised, he didn't give Muke in the bed much of a look, he walked past the bed where Muke was sleeping without a glance, and casually said back to Mu Sicheng, "Yes three, this one in the bed will also compete."

"?????" Mu Sicheng's face was full of questions, "Fuck, Bai Liu, are you serious? Who is this guy?"

It's not that Mu Sicheng couldn't recognize Muke with his lame eyes, he really didn't expect Muke, a newcomer who was previously with Bai Liu, to appear in Bai Liu's bed in such a form ......

Bai Liu turns his head to look at Mu Sicheng, " Muke, the new player I brought out of the game last time, I will take him with me to brush up."

Muke and Bai Liu are both pure newcomers and both have 2 games, Bai Liu and Muke both owe the same number of games and he can just about get enough at the same time by taking Muke through the book.

Muke also logged out from Bai Liu's house last time, so he knew the password to log out from Bai Liu's house, and Muke's choice to log out from Bai Liu's house after the game was cleared was expected by Bai Liu.

Bai Liu let Muke play the game on his own before entering the game, he didn't interfere much and suggested that Muke choose single player and that he would only start to take Muke's development seriously if he survived this one.

Bai Liu doesn't like to interact with weak-minded people who are too good at making excuses for themselves, so Bai Liu decided to try Muke first, and if Muke could successfully pass a game on his own, he would try to train Muke before it led to a situation like Zhang Gui's - the King's Guild spent a lot of The King's Guild spent a lot of resources on training Zhang Gui, only for Zhang Gui himself to rely too much on the golem and the intelligence he had absorbed and end up in Bai Liu's hands, resulting in a huge cost sink.

Bai Liu doesn't like to do things that are cost-sunk, but he likes to do things that have a lot of cost feedback.

It seems Muke must have fought his way through the level, but the intense sense of life and death afterwards made him subconsciously choose to log out of Bai Liu's house as an act of reassurance and an act of proof - Muke wanted to show Bai Liu first thing after the level that he did.

It's a bit like the child who cries while showing his parents the paper after a good grade.

Parent Bai Liu took his white shirt and suit trousers to the bathroom to change and emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later in human form.

Mu Sicheng now cowered in the corner as if he had seen a ghost, far away from Muke on the bed, pointing at Muke on the bed, Mu Sicheng asked Bai Liu, who had changed his clothes and come out, with an expression and tone of voice that was hard to describe: "...... Did you abduct the new player you saved last time? Did you get that new player into bed?

"He came on his own and he had a registration number from my house, so there was nothing I could do." Bai Liu didn't even notice that Mu Sicheng had got the wrong idea, "I was going to let him go before, but now I'm in a hurry, I want to compete and I don't have many cards on hand, and he's still obedient, so I think I can take him with me to train him by painting copies."

When Bai Liu found out that he could get 100 million points for participating in the league, he became obsessed with the idea and had to enter.

Even if we add Mu Sicheng himself, who is still more than 20 games short, Bai Liu is still three players short.

But the way Bai Liu looked just now, he was clearly prepared to take Muke, who had only passed two games like himself, into the competition!

This is a joke! How could Muke, an average player, with the mental capacity of Bai Liu, with the mental capacity of Bai Liu, with the mental capacity of Bai Liu, with the mental capacity of Muke, with the mental capacity of Bai Liu, with the mental capacity of Bai Liu?

Mu Sicheng couldn't resist pointing at Muke, who was still in bed: " Bai Liu, you're a psychopath who might be able to get 50 swipes, but Muke is a newcomer? Do you know when a player comes out of a copy of the game with a wound? Me and you came out unscathed."

Bai Liu ties his own tie, his eyes sweep over the injuries on Muke's wrist and ankle, finally landing on Mu Sicheng's face, and asks, "Under what circumstances would a player come out with an injury?

Mu Sicheng casually found a chair and flipped it over to sit down. He had spent a lot of energy in the game and looked lazy, but apart from being a little unhinged, Mu Sicheng's body was indeed uninjured.

Mu Sicheng rested his head on the chair and raised his eyes to Bai Liu who was wearing a tie: "An injury in the game can only be brought out if he decides that he is injured and that it is not healable, then the game will comply with the player's wishes and let you bring it out, generally speaking only in extreme fear, for example when the mental value drops below 10, usually the person will lose perception of the game and feels 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."

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

"A player coming out of a game prone to injury only means that the player is not mentally fit and has low panel potential, and if I remember correctly, this Muke is still an impersonal skill player, right?" Mu Sicheng raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "Are you sure you want to take him to the tournament, what's the difference between that and giving away food?"

"But I can say that, in a way, the last copy of Burst Last Train, I was able to get through the game with the help of him." Bai Liu said without skipping a beat as he looked up at Mu Sicheng.

Bai Liu ended up relying on that [Mermaid's Amulet] of Muke's to have a bottom card to confront the god-ranked NPCs, and it was also by relying on this [Mermaid's Amulet] on Muke's hand that Mu Sicheng was snubbed in.

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

But he still didn't use the Mermaid's Amulet in his single-player copy of the game, leaving his most precious survival item to Bai Liu.

It's only because Bai Liu mentioned to him before entering the game that I might use your prop [Mermaid's Amulet] that Muke didn't use it even though he had dropped to a level of fear that confused reality and the game, and made an effort to run out of the game with a wound.

This is 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 not rippling, "Because you have both kept your bargain with me in desperate times, and I respect that, all the more reason why I cannot break my agreement with you, I said if he gets 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 easily either." Bai Liu looked over at the bruised Muke on the bed and lowered his eyes, "Because you have both proved your worth to me."
