Chapter 157: Reality – Super Potential Player Ranking
[World 381293: How many points would that be?!]
[World 987311: This is already beyond human…]
[World 29193834: Everyone is focused on the super-potential players themselves. Is no one like me, curious about the rewards after clearing a Rule-Based Horror game? The game clearly stated there would be generous rewards for successfully clearing it. I really want to know how generous those rewards are.]
…The world forum didn’t discuss how generous the rewards were, but the nearby forums where Chu Yian was located were already buzzing with discussion.
[Area 7838183: Scared me to death, scared me to death! Finally cleared it successfully. Luckily, the income and effort were proportional. I earned 100 points in this round!]
[Area 1323931: Holy cow, I didn’t mishear, did I? Were you one of the first few to clear it?]
[Area 7838183: No, many people had already cleared it before me. I should be among the later group.]
[Area 12938482: It must be that clearing the game grants a 100-point reward, because I also got a hundred points.]
…Seeing someone discuss it in the nearby forum, it instantly exploded.
[Area 28393189: One hundred points!! Suddenly, I feel like taking that risk too.]
[Area 8482321: I’m so jealous of your hundred points, but then I remember it was earned with your lives, and I feel like you deserve those points. Quickly tell us, was this round of the game different from previous ones? How did you all clear it?]
…The subsequent topics all revolved around game experiences and various ways to clear it.
[Area 238482: We didn’t have a manual at the time and accidentally entered a Psychological Diagnosis Room. After losing a friend, I almost died in there myself. Fortunately, a kind player saved us. I don’t know if she made it out successfully.]
[Area 8484389: Alliances are king, but I recommend not partnering with emotional young couples. Damn it, they don’t care about their own lives and harm their companions…]
These answers were useless.
Chu Yian could even guess the identities of some people from their answers.
However, figuring out the identities behind these numbers wasn’t valuable. Instead, one player’s self-description after clearing the game caught her attention.
[Area 666236: Was it that difficult for everyone in the game? Why do I feel like you all played a different horror game than I did?]
This round of Rule-Based Horror was the easiest game I’ve ever played. From the very beginning when I entered the subway station, there was no difficulty except for someone trying to make me solo. I listened to music the whole way, and when I looked up, the subway had arrived at Wutong Station.
I got a student manual from the volunteer at the school gate. I was worried I’d be robbed, but everyone got on the bus very kindly. Then I registered, got the key, and went up to the dorm building.
That’s it?
This is my first time playing such a simple game. I even thought it was a poverty alleviation project specifically set up by the game for weak players like us.
That simple?
Chu Yian paused on the page where he was speaking, staring for a long time.
She doubted the veracity of this person’s words.
Not only Chu Yian doubted the veracity of this person’s words; those who acted quickly had already started to test him.
[Area 238289348: How is that possible? Are you fishing, upstairs? Let me ask you, what animals are not in the dorm building?]
[Area 666236: The manual said no monkeys, but I didn’t see anything when I went upstairs.]
[Area 3782842: Is the male dorm building 3 or 4?]
[Area 666236: There are only Buildings 1 and 2. Also, my dorm was assigned to Building 1, room 233.]
…After several rounds of probing, everyone finally realized that this guy wasn’t lying to them; he really was a player who cleared the Rule-Based Horror game.
Area 37127322: Since you’re so amazing, aren’t you one of the first few players to clear it?
[Area 666236: Yes, I was the first one.]
Seeing everyone’s surprised expressions, that player instantly realized how much of a bargain he had gotten.
Not only did I get 100 points, but I also received another reward called ‘Lucky Buff Enhancement.’ I won’t go into details about what it is, but I truly feel like my ancestors accumulated virtue. I’m grateful to my ancestors.
Lucky Buff Enhancement.
It sounds like something that increases luck.
Chu Yian knew how terrible her luck was in the Rule-Based Horror game, so seeing the Lucky Buff reward made her a little envious.
But it seemed the game didn’t give every player rewards other than points.
“Does the game have requirements for giving rewards other than points?”
Chu Yian was just talking to herself, but at that moment, useful information popped up on the game interface.
Normal players who clear a Rule-Based Horror game: The top three can receive rewards in addition to points.
Super-potential players who clear a Rule-Based Horror game: Regardless of ranking, they can receive rewards in addition to points.
Looking at the description, Chu Yian suddenly felt that being a super-potential player wasn’t entirely undesirable.
Just as she was considering this, a robotic announcement sounded in her ears, “Super-potential player leaderboard has been published.”
First place: ID 2***9, Ang Lixu
Second place: ID 1***2, Deliati
Third place: ID 3***2, Zhang Xiaoming
…Eighth place: ID 3***0, Fairy Who Drives a Tractor
…Chu Yian looked down the list, surprised to see herself in eighth place. Above and below her, the entire leaderboard was anonymous. Just as she expected, no one wanted to expose their information.
But…World 7348381: It seems like something strange snuck onto the super-potential player leaderboard.
[World 393412112: The name Fairy Who Drives a Tractor is so eye-catching. Are experts like this too?]
[World 22384: The Fairy Who Ranks Eighth, truly bringing honor to our female compatriots.]
[World 123848: Does a name like ‘Fairy’ necessarily mean it’s a female? Maybe it’s a big shot’s twisted sense of humor, deliberately trying to mislead. The name is Fairy Who Drives a Tractor, but in reality, it’s a big, rough man who drives a Tractor.]
…Chu Yian looked at the heated discussion above, rubbing her forehead with a headache.
She just wanted to pick a random nickname at the time. Who would have thought everyone else’s names were so proper? Now, this name stood out among a crowd of names. If only she had known, she would have chosen a nickname like Li Hua or Xiao Jun.
