Global Game: Develop Chapter 26: Failed Players, Game Compensation

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Failed Players, Ga Compensation

Lince was woken up by a phone call.

He was still extrely drowsy when it happened.

However, the mont he understood what the person on the other end was saying, he was wide awake.

"The door-to-door census registration is canceled?"

"Aunt Wang? Are you guys just pulling our leg for fun? How can you just cancel it out of the blue?" Lince asked, his tone teasing.

On the other end, Aunt Wang laughed and chided him, "You rascal. It’s canceled because I said so. Why all the questions?"

"Alright, alright. You’ve probably guessed what this census was for anyway. That ga has everyone on edge lately. In any case, you should be careful too!"

"Oh, right! If you get the chance, Xiaolin, don’t forget to hurry up and try to get into that ga!"

"You young people understand this stuff better. Anyway, you have to take it seriously, you hear?"

"Seize the opportunity! If you ever get qualified for that ga, rember to let your Aunt Wang know. I’m still waiting on my big performance bonus! When that happens, I guarantee I’ll introduce you to a nice girl with good prospects!"

Aunt Wang from the neighborhood committee office said this in a joking tone over the phone.

She hung up quickly after that. After all, she still had to notify the other residents in the neighborhood one by one.

Lince, for his part, was relieved.

However, when he ca to his senses and checked the ti, he saw that it was already half past ten.

But Lince wasn’t in a hurry. After all, there were still thirteen or fourteen hours until the True Ga’s daily server shutdown.

And since Players could only play for eight hours a day, he really wasn’t in a rush.

He rolled out of bed, took a shower, and brushed his teeth. Then, Lince headed downstairs for breakfast, scrolling through his phone on the way.

Rather than logging into the ga imdiately, Lince was more interested in seeing the fallout from last night’s three-hundred-day deduction.

And sure enough, on his way downstairs to the breakfast shop, Lince discovered that the internet in the Human Alliance’s Eastern Continent was buzzing with activity.

Lince didn’t even need to search. He just had to scroll through a few videos, and at least half of them were about the True Ga.

Among them, Lince casually swiped to a video from one of the Players.

"It hurts, man! Bros, my ga qualification was revoked last night!"

"But I have no regrets. After all, I did my best! A deduction-based ga like this really can’t be influenced by a Player in just eight short hours of ga ti."

"I’m recording and uploading this video quickly mainly because I want to show all my brothers and sisters the compensation I received from the ga."

"As everyone knows, the True Ga server opens at eight in the morning every day. The mont it opened just now, an option appeared in my mind."

"The option was actually very simple: it let

choose one of the Powers my previous Character Card possessed!"

"This Power could be a Skill, it could be a Physique, or it could be a ditation thod, things like that."

"So, was there even a choice? I imdiately chose the ditation thod!"

In the video, the man, with his ssy hair, looked incredibly smug.

"Even though my Character Card was a Tier One Entry Human Race character with a very strong Physique and all that, and I knew my Power would be comparable to a mini-Superman if I chose Physique, I still resisted the temptation!"

"Think about it, everyone. A one-ti boost of Power might be strong initially, but it can’t grow!"

"I might have just been a guy tightening screws in a factory before, but hey, I at least finished my mandatory schooling."

"So, I know full well that to maximize the benefits, you need sustainable developnt. And the ditation thod is the core of sustainable developnt for Extraordinary Power!"

At this point, the man clearly beca a bit annoyed.

"I definitely didn’t make the wrong choice by picking the ditation thod."

"But unfortunately, the compensation for failing the ga isn’t all that great."

"This ditation thod is good, and it can continuously strengthen , but I can only ditate for one hour a day. After that one hour, I can no longer sense any Magic Power."

"According to the ga, our world doesn’t have a thing called Magic Power to begin with. So even the environnt for ditation is actually provided by the True Ga for us failed Players."

"Like, when I ditate, the True Ga provides a simulated Magic Environnt that only I can perceive. And in this environnt, how much I can grow through ditation in that one hour is completely dependent on the aptitude of my previous Character Card!"

"So yeah! In that respect, I’m pretty disappointed!"

"Because I don’t have a Bloodline Power like my ga Character Card!!! This ditation speed is a total snail’s pace! And I can only do it for one hour a day!"

"Damn it! Brothers and sisters, I’m so tilted, for real!"

"I was so naive! If God gave

another chance, I would absolutely choose the Tier One Physique or the Character Card’s Bloodline!!!"

The sudden turn almost gave Lince whiplash.

’What the? Dude, wasn’t that change of heart a little too sudden?’

’One second you’re confidently talking about the benefits of the ditation thod and how you made the right choice, and the next second you’re having a complete breakdown?’

Lince was left a little speechless.

At the end, the guy in the video said he was going to report to the local Human Alliance Counterasures Bureau, and then the video ended.

’So the compensation for failing the ga really is one of the Powers from the Character Card? Or even an Ability?’

’From the looks of it, this version update for the True Ga is actually pretty generous.’

Lince made his way to the breakfast shop, ordered a bowl of vegetable congee and half a basket of soup dumplings, and then continued to search for videos and even livestreams from failed Players while he ate.

In the process, Lince watched more than a dozen different videos.

And in these videos, the choices made by the failed Players were truly varied.

So Players chose Physique, so chose an Extraordinary Bloodline, and others chose things like Skills or Abilities.

But without exception, all of these compensation choices ca with significant limitations.

For example, Players who chose Physique found the enhancent could only be active for half an hour each day. This ti limit was analogous to the session limit placed on active Players using their Character Cards.

Those who chose an Extraordinary Bloodline were in a rather awkward position.

An Extraordinary Bloodline sounded great, but it didn’t actually provide any Extraordinary Power.

In other words, although people who chose this had an Extraordinary Bloodline in their bodies, they had no way to awaken its power in reality right now.

Outwardly, they looked almost identical to ordinary people.

And this would clearly require a ditation thod to activate the Bloodline, just as Knights, Demon Beasts, and even Mages in the Ga World trained to awaken their Extraordinary Power.

But this presented another problem.

There was no Magic Power in the real world! So how were these Players supposed to activate the Extraordinary Power within their Bloodlines?

After all, unlike the Players who chose the ditation thod, they didn’t have a Magic Environnt provided by the True Ga.

So, it was obvious that the Players who had chosen an Extraordinary Bloodline were basically half-crippled for now.

The reason they were only "half"-crippled was because the Bloodline would passively integrate and circulate within their bodies for one hour each day.

And as this integration continued over ti, the physical constitution of these Players would slowly surpass that of an ordinary person, but it was still capped within the limits of a normal human.

Therefore, these Bloodline Players definitely couldn’t achieve much in the real world at present.

Of course, Lince didn’t deny the possibility that with future updates to the True Ga, active Players might soon be able to bring other things from the ga back to reality.

For example, while there was no Magic Power in reality, the ga had Magic Crystals, Demon Cores, and even Magic Items that contained it.

There were no complete training manuals for Basic Magic in reality, but the ga had them!
