Back at the hotel, Shekh told Shi Jinzhe not to overthink it. If even the system couldn't fix it, what could they possibly come up with? He should just go to sleep.
Shi Jinzhe thought about it and realized it made sense, but even after lying back in bed, he couldn't shake off his worries.
Mu Bai said that the system vulnerability didn't exist when her mother finished the game, which proves that the vulnerability in sending greeting cards was created in the past twenty years. Now that the vulnerability has expanded further, will it have a more serious impact?
He turned to face Sheh, looked at her for a few seconds, then pulled her into his arms. He raised the hand that was around Sheh's neck and used his thumb and forefinger to pinch and rub her earlobe back and forth.
This is a small movement he makes when he's thinking; his fingers have to do something, otherwise they can't stay still. Before, he would tap the table or twirl his pen, but after he got Schechner, it became touching his face and hands, touching whatever he could find.
Shekhmo silently carried him back, saying, "Close your eyes and go to sleep."
Shi Jinzhe: "I have trouble sleeping."
I was so tired before I came back, but as soon as I lay down, all my energy and spirit returned.
“Sleep hard.” Shekh covered his eyes with his hand. “You’ll be able to sleep if you can’t see the light.”
I can't sleep if I can't see you.
"Then you can play on your phone for a while to get sleepy." Sheikh took the phone and adjusted his position in his arms. "We'll watch it together."
She opened the game forum; since she was already worried about games, she might as well look at some.
Upon opening the forum, a post that is rapidly gaining popularity is prominently displayed in the first row.
[I drew a two-character card today!! This lucky guy is sharing his good fortune with you all.]
Sheh clicked in and saw a player who had just cleared the beginner dungeon and drawn a two-character card called "Scapegoat". Every sentence he wrote was followed by several rows of exclamation marks, and his excitement and boastfulness were evident.
Below him, there was another person who also said that he had drawn a two-character card today. This person did not mention the skill name, which shows that he was careful and knew to keep it hidden.
Besides these two people, in the replies to the 100th and 182nd posts, there were two more people who said they drew two-character cards using their beginner skills.
The newbie card pool released four cards with the character "two" in a row, and everyone wanted to see what was going on, so the post became very popular.
Seeing over 200 posts, another new player revealed that they drew a skill card called "Shadow" today.
Are two-character cards really that easy to get? Wasn't it said that there weren't any two-character cards in the skill card pool? Am I just unlucky and can't get them?
[These are all cards I drew today. Are high-level players going to be everywhere by now?]
【How could that be? I've played eight or nine games and haven't encountered a single high-level player. You think getting a card means everything's fine? Knowing how to use it is the key. A smart person can make the most of even a four-character card, while a fool would just be doing someone else's work for them if they were given a two-character card.】
[For example, those two people in this thread who revealed their skill names are just waiting to get killed and robbed in the game. They don't even realize that famous, high-level players would never voluntarily tell others their skill names.]
How many high-level players are there in the game now? I've only played two games and I'm already on edge. Could you help me out?
[Pro gamers value their lives far more than you do; they charge astronomical sums to carry others. How much do you think your life is worth?]
【Well said, stop talking. You all seem to know this person and that person, but I don't know any of them. I haven't seen a single high-level player in fourteen matches.】
Shekh didn't continue reading. The post gradually turned into comments on the known advanced players, with each comment more outrageous than the last. In short, he said he would do it even with just a two-character card.
In addition, two-thirds of the beginnings start with "I have a friend who cleared the dungeon with xxx, she said xxx blah blah blah," and then the reader automatically assumes the role of a judge and begins to give their evaluation.
“This group of people is quite interesting.” Sheh also saw one talking about her and Shi Jinzhe. “Look at this.”
"I was fortunate enough to be carried by a pro and get 50 points..." Shi Jinzhe recognized Li Jin halfway through reading. This kid could talk about getting 50 points in the bomb dungeon for the rest of his life.
Shech muttered, "There seem to be very few high-level players in the game; many people have never even seen one."
“We’re pretty lucky, there are always high-level players in the dungeons we enter.” Shi Jinzhe said, “Don’t you think it’s strange that the newbie skill pool gives out five cards at once? Scapegoat, Shadow, they don’t sound like good cards, they should all be disqualified cards.”
"A disqualification card for a newcomer... Ha, the system really wants people to die fast enough."
"Even if I fail, it's still just two words. It can have a miraculous effect after clearing some dungeons. The system is just trying its luck. If I accidentally clear a difficult dungeon, I won't lose anything if I die. Who knows, this card can be recycled and reused."
Shi Jinzhe remembered that in the Slander instance, Shehe waited for Zhao Jingjing to die before taking the card. The system wouldn't notify them when the skill card dropped, and since they didn't take it, the card became the system's.
Back then, they said that disqualified cards were hard to get, but now they're giving out five a day. Is the drop rate higher?
Or perhaps the number of players entering the game has increased?
Shi Jinzhe's gaze fell on the golden vine ring: "I have a feeling that we will meet more new players and decent high-level players in the dungeon later on, not the kind of high-level players who use disqualification cards."
Sher followed with his eyes, placing his hand and Shi Jinzhe's hand side by side. The two gold vine rings appeared understated in front of the dazzling gemstone and diamond rings, but in fact, the gold vines were the most valuable piece in the rings.
"Do you have something in mind?"
“I have a theory.” Shi Jinzhe stared intently at the golden vine ring. “We encounter high-level players much more often than others. I think it’s because I can save people, and the system deliberately arranged it.”
"But we've also killed high-level players, and high-level players have a lot of points, so losing in the game isn't really dying."
"Let's start with the first one. We've said before that the game filters out high-level players who are ruthless and self-controlled. Those who are driven by desire will be eliminated by the game in other ways even if we don't take action. But would you want to actively kill people like Fu Guan and Jiang Ziya?"
Shekh answered truthfully, "No, they're quite pleasing to the eye."
"That's it. The game doesn't lack high-level players; what it lacks are high-level players with a compromise mindset like this. Mu Bai once said that his mother needed to enter dungeons when she was pregnant with me. I think the system arranged me with them to ensure the survival rate of these types of players."
Shi Jinzhe uttered the words "Jimu City," saying, "In this kind of instance, if you die, you're really dead. Points are useless. The system is unwilling to lose the high-level players it values in this kind of instance."
Sheh quickly picked up where he left off: "So it increases the probability of drawing a two-word disqualification card from the newbie skill pool, allowing these newbies who get the two-word card to replace some of the advanced players in more dungeons."
"That's about it. They're even more capitalist than me." Shi Jinzhe simplified the complex analysis into one sentence: "Everyone is a tool of the system, including you and me."
"It needs to be demolished."
Shekh hated words like "tools" and "props." He pulled the covers up, turned the air conditioner to its lowest setting, and said, "I'm not going to talk about it anymore, I'm going to sleep."
Do you hibernate...?
"Long sleep, you stay with me. Whoever speaks again is a snake."
