Chapter 139: Old for New



There were a total of three games in the promotion, which Ren Suo had expected - there were only four games in the Guyu promotion.

For a semi-finished game like this, which is completely free, it is normal to have a smaller price tag.

It’s just that the names of these three games were so special that Ren Suo couldn’t make a choice last night.

Passing the Hat

"Everyone has a hat. Whose hat will you wear tonight? Estimated game difficulty: 2 stars. Deadline for completion: 7 days left."

Flying Chess

"Luck determines survival, luck determines effort, and luck determines the outcome. Estimated game difficulty: 3 stars+, clearance deadline: 5 days left."

Guess the Number

"It's not easy to be extraordinary, but it's even harder to be completely ordinary. Estimated game difficulty: 3 stars, deadline for completion: 6 days left."

The introduction is almost non-existent, and the name of the game sounds like a game that Ren Suo played when he was a child. For some reason, when the introduction and the name of the game are put together, it is filled with a strong sense of horror and rip-off.

It's like listening to the story of Snow White, and suddenly hearing that Snow White entered the theater of "Wrong Turn" and "Saw" and met seven cannibals...

And, while these three games are free, they are also expensive.

Because the game has no protagonist.

However, the game cannot be played without a protagonist and the player cannot control a character.

Therefore, if Ren Suo wants to play any game, he has to "dedicate" a protagonist to the game.

That’s right, the way to obtain the semi-finished games in the Xiaoman promotion is to bet on the games that Ren Suo already owns and has completed, in order to obtain the temporary right to play the semi-finished games.

At the same time, Ren Suo can also use the protagonist of the game as a bet to play the unfinished game!

To put it in layman's terms, it's a bit like exchanging old for new.

If Ren Suo successfully completes the unfinished game, then the game used as a bet will be fine; but if Ren Suo fails to complete the game, then the game used as a bet will disappear.

Of course, the rewards that Ren Suo has already obtained will not be lost, and if Ren Suo still wants to continue playing the old game, he can also buy the game back through "search", but the game will not be completed, and even if it is completed, there will be no rewards, and the original records will be completely lost.

For example, Ren Suo sacrificed the first chapter of "Over My Dead Body" and failed. Then Ren Suo bought the game back and played through the first chapter again, but he only got the right to play the second chapter. The record of the first chapter "Ren Wo Xing" could never be retrieved.

There is no doubt that for Ren Suo, even if he sacrificed all the games, it would not affect him at all - he had already completed them all anyway.

However, when Ren Suo discovered that "completed games" were actually the currency for purchasing "semi-finished games", he naturally thought of other issues:

Why can a character who has already completed a game enter a half-finished game?

In addition to half-finished games, are there other places where completed games can be used?

When Ren Suo realized that "completed games" were also a kind of resource, he naturally became cautious. Therefore, he was thinking hard all night last night and did not sleep.

It would be fine if all the merits were spent on these three half-finished games, but Ren Suo has a lot of merits now, so he doesn't feel bad about it.

However, Ren Suo hesitated for a long time about using a resource that Ren Suo "didn't know if it would be useful" to gamble on a half-finished game that "only had unknown exclusive rewards" as a benefit.

He felt like a silly chieftain from before the Common Era, being asked by a time traveler with a glass ball: "Would you like to exchange those tons of black oil that can only catch fire for the peerless colored glass ball?"

Standing on the edge of a trap and being duped, Ren Suo's final choice was to bet on only one.

Originally, all three games had time limits to complete, and Ren Suo was lucky to be able to complete one game before the deadline.

At the same time, since semi-finished games cannot be "searched", if you miss the promotion on the day of the solar term, you will never have the chance to play them again, so you have to give it a try anyway.

Now the question is, which game should I choose that I already own?

"Killer", "If You Are Strong, Go 10,000 Meters", "Across My Dead Body", "Jedi Priest", "Spirit of the World"...

If the power level in the game is not high, wouldn't it be possible to just go in and blow up everything if you choose the protagonist of "Over My Dead Body" and "Devouring the World's Spirit"?

The strongest cultivator of the Ren family, and the Monkey King who surpasses the strongest.

However, Ren Suo quickly abandoned this unrealistic fantasy: what if there are special rules in the game, or violence is not a necessary element to pass the level, that would be a bummer.

Moreover, if the game characters were really useful, then Ren Suo would not be willing to lose these two powerful characters in the game.

It would have been fine if he didn't know it before, but now that he knew that the protagonist of the game could travel to other games, Ren Suo naturally divided these games into different levels: "Over My Dead Body" and "Devouring World Spirit" were the best, "Jedi Priest" was second, "Hitman" was third, and "If You Are Strong, Go 10,000 Meters" was the least useful.

Therefore, Ren Suo chose the female seeker who consumed "If You Are Strong, Go 10,000 Meters" as a bet for purchasing the unfinished game.

As for which game to choose, it would naturally be the 2-star difficulty "Pass the Hat".

Ren Suo didn't want to gain anything from the game, he just wanted to see what the semi-finished game had in store. He would definitely choose the simplest game with the highest chance of completing it.

After the purchase is completed, a new game appears on the main interface. The background of the game icon is pitch black, with only a candle and a half-lit hat that cannot be seen.

"Keep your hat on."

When the game started, an old female voice sounded from a very far distance.

Ren Suo swallowed his saliva and turned on all the lights and doors in the living room, bathroom, and bedroom. It was broad daylight, but Ren Suo felt a chill running down his spine.

At this time, he remembered Li Dan's words: "... As long as you don't seize the opportunity and don't take risks, at least you can survive."

Bullshit, it’s fine if you don’t dare to take risks, but you don’t even dare to take risks when playing a game!

The dignity of being a keyboard warrior cheered Ren Suo up and he looked at the screen intently.

"This game is automatically saved."

"This game can be connected to a mobile phone, allowing the game to be played on the mobile phone."

Hmm? Can it be turned into a mobile game?

The screen gradually brightened, and under the moonlight, a round house appeared in the dense forest.

The house was suspended in mid-air, with its door wide open. The female seeker walked in and found a round table inside, with a dozen figures like those in the mist sitting beside it.

There are more than a dozen hats on the table, of different styles, including straw hats, peaked caps, conical hats, cowboy hats, etc.

Opposite the door, there was a girl wearing a hat sitting. Although there were candles in the room, it was impossible to illuminate the girl.

Girl: "Welcome, welcome. I haven't met other players in a long time. Let's start the game... But, where is your hat?"

At this time, a small round hat suddenly appeared in the hands of the female seeker, and the item information popped up:

"Seeker's Hat: Insight +20%."

Girl: "Please put your hat down."

In the picture, the woman in black mist puts the beret on her head on the table, and the seeker also puts the hat on the table.

The desktop started to spin at a speed that could be captured by the naked eye, and three messages popped up in the game:

「Press ○ to select a hat」

"Clearance goal: Wear all hats and make them your own"

"The Seeker's Enlightenment: The Seeker can see which hats have not yet been worn by 'her'"
