At noon the next day, Ren Suo got up energetically, washed and ate.
Working for a few days and then having a short vacation to rest is so great.
After opening the treasure chest yesterday and studying some new skills and items for a while, Ren Suo felt sleepy and went straight to bed without having time to play the new game.
Ren Suo, who had just finished his meal downstairs and was about to go home to play games, suddenly received a call from his mother.
"Suozi!" Mom's voice was full of energy: "You don't have to go to work today?!"
Ren Suo subconsciously thought about it and realized that today was Saturday. No wonder his mother would ask such a question.
"No, what's wrong?"
"Didn't I tell you before that Aunt Zhang next door's eldest daughter is studying in Lianjiang and is now a freshman?"
"Oh... so?"
"Didn't you promise to meet her today? We've already arranged the place and time. We'll meet at Tianhe Center Subway Station at 2:30!" Mom said, "You young people can decide where to go, but first meet and chat and go shopping. She's also interested in becoming a civil servant, so you can talk to her more. For girls, it's good to become a civil servant..."
Just as he was about to get caught up in his mother's nagging, Ren Suo quickly interrupted her: "Wait, did I promise?"
"I promised." Mom said, "Four nights ago, I was chatting with Aunt Zhang and found out that her daughter wanted to take the civil service exam, so Aunt Zhang and I agreed on a time for you to meet."
"Then when did you inform me?" Ren Suo was quite confused.
My mother said, "I notified you after I finished talking to Aunt Zhang, but you were busy at the time. She hummed and hummed in response and quickly hung up the phone."
Ren Suo recalled that four days ago, he should have been playing Over My Dead Body. Although this game is a turn-based battle, the battles are very intense. The enemy's position, your position, attack range... Any slight mistake can result in casualties on your side, so Ren Suo is very focused when playing.
In this case, it is possible that I will just answer my mother's call with a perfunctory "hmmmm"...
The point is, Ren Suo himself is rather confused and doesn't really trust his memory.
"I say," my mother's voice suddenly became serious, "you are not going to regret it, are you?"
"this……"
"I don't remember my son being such a person who doesn't keep his word."
Ren Suo's family education was actually pretty good, with a loving father and a strict mother. When he heard his mother's voice, he subconsciously backed off: "Okay, okay, I'll go this afternoon."
"Well, remember her cell phone number. Her name is Xia Lingyu..."
"Oh, right? Can't I just contact her directly through her cell phone?"
"You haven't even met the person, how can you chat about anything?"
Sometimes what my mother says suddenly makes sense.
On the other side, Ren's mother had just hung up the phone, and Ren's father, who was having dinner, asked, "Did you really notify Suozi? When you went out for a walk that day, you didn't even bring your cell phone with you."
"I forgot." Ren's mother said as a matter of course: "But he didn't remember it either, so what I said is the truth."
————
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Ren Suo had already arrived at Tianhe Center Metro Station.
Ren Suo really couldn't do something like standing someone up (breaking an appointment), but it seemed too rude to just call the girl and cancel the afternoon date - mainly because the other party didn't call him, and Ren Suo was too embarrassed to call her.
Oh, it feels so troublesome just to introduce myself on the phone.
Since my mother said that the other party wanted to know the process of taking the civil service exam, Ren Suo copied his study materials for the essay and civil service exam as well as the online test papers into a USB flash drive, and would give it to the other party directly when the time came. Presumably, a freshman would be discouraged after seeing the large amount of study materials in the USB flash drive.
Even Ren Suo only started to study the civil service exam seriously when he realized he needed to find a job or internship in his junior year.
Freshman and sophomore years are the time when college students are the most carefree, and few people can concentrate on studying - especially if you are not a top student in college. The MOBA games, 3A masterpieces, American and Japanese TV series, and new anime live broadcasts on your roommates' computers alone are enough to destroy most people's will to study.
Ren Suo sent a message: "This is Ren Suo, I'm under Exit A, let me know when you get there."
It didn’t take long for me to get a reply: “_(:з」∠)_Brother, I’m almost there.”
Well, it seems that the other party has positioned himself correctly: a senior brother who is used to ask questions.
This way no one will be embarrassed.
Ren Suo took out his phone and checked it while waiting. After a while, he entered the Fantasy World Forum. This forum was where he often posted messages. It was divided into many sections, including current affairs, games, novels, movies, blind dates, anime, fantasy... In short, there was everything you wanted to talk about.
There are at least a few thousand forum websites like this in Xuan Country, and most of them will gradually die out due to the lack of fresh blood.
The Fantasy World Forum became well-known because some people published novels there before and were picked up by publishers for adaptation and publication. Later, more and more people published short stories, novellas, and novels on it. The Fantasy World Forum has a large number of author and reader resources, with hundreds of thousands of daily traffic, so it has been thriving for a long time.
Before going to bed last night, Ren Suo posted the problem he encountered when choosing player privileges on the forum for help.
After all, there will be upgrades in the future, and Ren Suo hasn't found any other small world players yet - he has no one to ask.
Moreover, Ren Suo was worried that he would be recognized by other small world players, so he changed the question of privileges and said that he was playing a foreign krypton gold card game, changing "game" to "mission", "merit" to "game coins", and reported how many merits he had obtained before, and how much he could get for each game...
Ren Suo checked his question and found that there were more than 20 replies, many of whom helped him analyze the pros and cons of the three privileges.
However, there are many opinions that Ren Suo can imagine, such as the limitations of "picky freeloaders", the low expectations of benefits from "calculating carefully", and the fact that "novice players" are useless in the early stages...
However, one person's suggestion gave Ren Suo a fresh look:
"All three perks have their own uses, and it doesn't really make sense to say which one is the best, because these are three different development paths."
"You chose the first privilege, so you should buy more low-priced missions (games) to win by quantity, and try to use the privilege advantage to reduce the consumption of gold coins (merits). Or you should have other consumption methods, but you didn't say it. In short, you should take the route of multiple consumption."
"If you choose the second privilege, you should only focus on the tasks (games) that pay the most, and keep each task high enough to make the most of the privilege."
"And if you choose the third privilege, then unless you encounter special circumstances, when you choose a free mission (game) every month, you should replace the mission (game) with the highest reward with a mission (game) that pays 10% higher. You must choose this mission (game) and get a high score, otherwise the privilege will be wasted."
Ren Suo thought this made a lot of sense, especially the suggestion about the third privilege. He had previously thought that the "picky freeloader" was used to replace games he didn't like.
But the correct way to use it is indeed as this suggestion says. Replacing the game with the highest reward with a game with 10% higher reward is the best way to use it.
Although Ren Suo has already chosen the privilege, this 'route' idea has opened a new window for him.
Instead of comparing the pros and cons of privileges, it is better to choose privileges that suit your travel route.
For example, "Newbies" and "Picky Freeloaders" can cooperate with each other, after all, they are both types of people who increase the game's reward merits. If there is a game with 100 merits reward, and it is replaced with 110 merits reward, and then completed perfectly, then the total reward in the end is 115.5 merits. This extra income accumulated over time is not to be underestimated - he now has only 11 merits left.
Moreover, Ren Suo guessed that after his player level was raised in the future, these privileges should also be able to be upgraded, or he could obtain other privileges.
At that time, his privileged choice will have to be considered using the 'route' approach.
"Multi-consumption route?" When Ren Suo was thinking, he suddenly felt the light dim. He looked up and saw a handsome guy in jeans and a black jacket, and a beautiful girl in a white dress standing in front of him.
"Are you... Senior Brother Ren?"
The girl in the white dress asked tentatively, and Ren Suo nodded. He glanced at the handsome guy next to the girl, and he understood vaguely:
This is to bring your boyfriend here to demonstrate, so that I will back off...
Although Ren Suo had no such intention at first, a normal man would always feel uncomfortable if he was asked out and then rejected in such a cold and violent way.
But Ren Suo was a member of society after all, so he quickly adjusted his mindset and said to the girl, "You are Xia Lingyu, right? If you have something to do, you can go with your boyfriend first..."
"Hey?" The girl in the white dress was stunned and quickly pulled the handsome guy next to her over, "You misunderstood, I'm not Xiaoyu."
Why?
At this time, Ren Suo was stunned and looked at the handsome guy next to him. The handsome guy blushed and smiled shyly: "I am Xia Lingyu, she is my classmate Li Keer, we both want to know how to take the civil service exam..."
As soon as he heard the voice, Ren Suo knew he had recognized the wrong person - Xia Lingyu was just a pretty young lady with neutral clothing and short hair.
“Um…” Ren Suo awkwardly stretched out his hand: “Hello, I’m Ren Suo.”
"Hello." Xia Lingyu and Li Ke'er shook hands with Ren Suo, which made the awkwardness go away. "Shall we find a place to sit down first?"
But something even more embarrassing happened - after shaking hands, Ren Suo just stood there in a daze and did not answer their questions.
After they shouted a few more times, Ren Suo came back to his senses: "Okay, I'm not familiar with this place...why don't you lead the way?"
"Can."
Looking at the two girls' butts... no, no, their backs, Ren Suo fell into deep thought.
He heard that familiar voice when he was shaking hands just now.
"Found the key."
"Key is in strange state, start getting it."
"It turns out that the key is not yet formed. It will take 8777 seconds to obtain it. The key needs to be kept in contact during the acquisition. 8776, 8775, 8774..."
"Found the key."
"Key is in strange state, start getting it."
"It is found that the key has not yet been formed. It will take 9130 seconds to obtain it. The key needs to be kept in contact during the acquisition. 9129, 9128, 9127..."
These two girls actually have keys!
