Ren Suo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the "High Energy Ahead" APP icon on his phone suddenly tremble, then shatter into data fragments and disappear.
Although this game doesn't take up much in-game time, it takes up a lot of time outside of the game...
The explorer can handle the game with ease because Ren Suo is carrying the burden for him in reality!
"Mission accomplished."
"Complete the basic mission goal - 60 points;"
"Enemy of the Animal Protection Association: Defeat all wild monsters in Taoyuan - 5 points;"
"The first to strike is the strongest, the last to strike is even stronger: Defeat all challenge monsters, most of which are defeated head-on - 4 points;"
"Exquisite Petty Bourgeoisie: The number of props is less than or equal to 10, and the total value of the props is greater than 500 - 5 points;"
"You're cheating, right? Defeat the village chief's phantom 'Acala' - 10 points;"
"The total score is 84 points, which is considered extraordinary."
"This mission score: 84 points (extraordinary), the highest mission score: 84 points (extraordinary)"
"Because the player has received extraordinary evaluations and met the hidden requirements, he will obtain the hidden side quest information of this game."
"Side quest: A gentleman is not born different. Complete the level without engaging in any combat."
"Do you choose to upload this result as the final result? After the upload is successful, you can obtain merits and exclusive rewards that match your evaluation level."
"This review can only be kept for seven days and cannot be uploaded after seven days."
"Reviews can only be uploaded once."
Ren Suo was stunned. This high score was a bit beyond his expectations.
But it makes sense when you think about it. This game has no in-app purchases, so there are only so many places to play. The only place where you can do fancy things is the "equipment interface", where players use their own accumulation to equip the explorers.
If Ren Suo played this game as a level 2 player, he would probably just barely pass.
Now he is a level 4 player. Even if the game does not reduce its difficulty because of his level, Ren Suo's experience is enough for the explorer to use force to overcome the opponent's cleverness in many places and cannot defeat them by force. For example, when encountering a group of dogs just after crossing the cave, the general operation is to run away quickly, but after Ren Suo gave the explorer armed skills, he managed to kill all the vicious dogs.
Although, it is also from here that the explorer begins to take off his little white rabbit disguise and starts his own journey of pretending to be cool.
Every time he thought of this, Ren Suo regretted it. But even if he had to do it all over again, Ren Suo would still do it the same way.
The explorer has accumulated energy from the very beginning, so the snowball keeps getting bigger and bigger, and can easily overcome difficulties later by relying on the newly added props.
Not to mention the "Sound of Clear Springs". Among all the rewards given by the Small World game console, whether it is the bond system or various ability props, nothing can be compared with the "Sound of Clear Springs" that summons game characters.
Even if it can only be summoned for a short period of time, it can still help one get through a difficult level in the game. In reality, it is almost like Ren Suo has the biggest trump card - as long as he reveals this card, he can get through any life-threatening situation.
This is where the power of level 4 players lies. Only level 4 players can play 4-star games, and if a 4-star game receives high ratings, it will surely reveal the usage time of "Clear Spring Flowing Sound".
Games below 4 stars will not consider the impact of "Clear Spring Sound" at all, so the explorer called Ren Han, the patriarch from two thousand years ago, over, and instantly broke through the combat power ceiling of "High Energy Ahead", easily defeating the final boss.
Although Ren Suo also spent 7 minutes of summoning time, it was still worth it overall.
However, this side quest "A Gentleman is Not Different" left Ren Suo a little confused - how could he pass the level without fighting?
Ren Suo changed his mind and realized that the reason why those monsters that were transformed from animals, plants and dead objects attacked the explorers was entirely because the latter had a bad image - to them, the explorers were no different from butchers with butcher knives, and as guardians they naturally had to protect their masters.
So the solution should be for explorers to use various props to please these animals, plants and dead things, so that they can pass the level without any fighting.
Thinking of this, Ren Suo suddenly remembered that he had scanned food before.
Yes, that’s right, it was the bowl of beef brisket fried noodles that he made himself.
"Ren Suo's Beef Brisket and Fried Noodles: A rare item. This bowl of noodles is a waste of beef brisket, fried sauce, and noodles. You can give it to others to eat. Depending on their taste, the favorability will change from -1 to +100 (with a median of +2), and all physical strength will be restored immediately. It disappears after one use. It requires 10 energy points."
Since the food would disappear after one use and was not cheap, and the explorers had become reckless men by then, Ren Suo had not thought of this.
But thinking back now, Ren Suo discovered another way to play this game: by constantly scanning food or other small objects to please the guardian.
For this route, Ren Suo doesn't need to find any rare items, maybe scanning some daily necessities is enough to pass the level. Of course, this route will definitely not be able to defeat the village chief's phantom in the end, and then the explorer will spend a huge amount of energy to meet the requirements of passing the level, and the nine items in the final lottery pool will most likely be rare items.
From this point of view, Ren Suo's search for magical items with great potential in the anime star city and temples is actually a heresy. The game did not expect the player to be a middle school student. If Ren Suo had not accumulated enough, the explorer might not have been able to make it all the way.
But Ren Suo wasn't interested in doing it again - it was almost September, so he should hurry up and prepare to collect merits and play the four-star free game in September!
"The mission evaluation has been uploaded. You have obtained 108 merit points. Please use them properly."
"You get a 2-star treasure chest*1, you can open it in the content storage library."
"Based on your gaming experience, you get an exclusive reward: listening headphones."
"Based on your gaming experience, your game character 'Explorer' has acquired the exclusive ability (cannot be removed, cannot be changed, must be activated) 'High Energy Midas Touch'."
"The upload of "High Energy Ahead" has been completed. Thank you for playing. The small world is full of fun!"
"It's the headphones..." Ren Suo felt a little annoyed.
Although he already knew that the probability of getting an epic item out of ten was low, Ren Suo was still a little depressed when he really couldn't get one - the Africans' smuggling to Europe had failed again.
However, when Ren Suo looked at the "listening headphones", the depression in his heart was immediately reduced a lot.
Listening headphones
"Rank: Two-star item, prerequisite: Own ears, own physical wireless headphones."
"Effect: After the player equips it, it provides 'super sound wave defense', 'charisma increase', and 'hearing improvement' effects.
Miss Enhanced Effect - Listening: The headset will receive more content about the Small World Game Console, and players will hear more detailed and secret game settings, system instructions, ability activation timing, and various auxiliary instructions. "
"Note: You don't need to wear headphones all the time, it looks really stupid - just wear them around your neck as a decoration."
Ren Suo no longer cared much about the original effect of the headset. What was important was that it could provide more detailed game console content!
He immediately took out his noise-cancelling headphones and put them on, then equipped himself with "listening headphones".
In an instant, the sound of wind and noise outside the balcony seemed to have decreased a lot, the braking sound of the refrigerator in the living room seemed to be absent, and the sound of deflation of the toilet in the bathroom was also weakened to the extreme - the world became quiet and harmonious.
Ren Suo didn't wear headphones, but the effect was already evident.
The "equipment interface" was launched, and Ren Suo manipulated the controller to browse the games on the main page at will. When he scrolled past "High Energy Ahead", Ren Suo heard a distant voice:
"Uploading, current progress is 3%..."
Ren Suo blinked and looked at the rotating disc in the icon. Now he finally confirmed that uploading game reviews was not an instant process.
Then Ren Suo looked at the explorer's exclusive ability "High Energy Midas Touch".
"High-Energy Midas Touch: Explorers who return to reality from the utopia have the mysterious power to activate the potential of objects. All physical objects touched by the explorer will be enhanced and generate incredible power. The enhancement effect will not end until the object is damaged or the explorer abandons the object."
It is difficult to judge the true effect of this skill based on the description alone, but judging by the Explorer's own combat power and the ten enhanced treasures he possesses, his actual combat power is probably not lower than that of the Collector and the Asgard Killer, and may even be similar to that of the Magician.
Tsk, I suddenly realized that this guy is so strong. What if I can't find an enemy who can beat him in the future...
Wait, Ren Suo, you are a cold-blooded player who has no blood or tears. You cannot damage your own game interests because of your feelings. Explorers are your property. You should treat them well and exploit them, not target them.
You should wait until "High Energy Ahead" is broadcast, and use the "Unnamed Account" to post photos of the explorer wearing women's clothing to help him expand his fame. Wouldn't that be fun?
After thinking of the plan, Ren Suo felt much better.
When he was about to continue testing whether this "listening headset" could detect more information, his cell phone rang.
"Ren Suo, are you free recently?" Zhao Huo's beginning was still so meaningless.
Ren Suo had no choice but to answer him: "I'm doing my summer homework, so I don't have time."
"...Why are you pretending to be so young? You don't have any summer homework." Zhao Huo was speechless: "You are actually very free, right? Are you interested in playing the villain of the mysterious organization?"
"A mysterious organization? A villain? School has already started, so are you still going to the comic convention to perform a stage play?"
"It's not a stage play, and it won't take up much of your time. We're just temporarily short of one person, and we need a cultivator to fill in." Zhao Huo chuckled and said, "There aren't many opportunities to play a villain. If you hadn't been promoted to the second level, we wouldn't have asked you."
"Tell me about it." Ren Suo was very interested and asked, "What mysterious organization are you playing as? Team Rocket? New Twilight? Or the feudal landlord class?"
"Please use your imagination. We are monks. The villains played by monks must have some historical background and style. You should have heard of it." Zhao Huo said, "Listen carefully. The mysterious organization we are going to guest star in is--"
"A paradise in the land of the dead."
