Chapter 1476: The difficulty adjustnt die makes its appearance!
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
The days passed.
The preparations for the concert were already more than half done.
The promotions for it were in full swing.
These days, Zhang Ye was no longer that busy. He was sitting in the studio, studying the setlist and arranging the songs. The rest of the work was left to Ha Qiqi and Zhang Zuo to handle, and Zhang Ye only needed to make the final decision on them. He did not need to worry about the majority of matters. However, while he looked like he was having it easy, Zhang Ye was constantly thinking about how he could make this concert a little bigger and better. It would be good if he could stir up a commotion in Asia with it, and even better if it could get him into Korea. The best outco would be if he rose to the top in one bound and rounded it off with a perfect ending before he bade farewell to the entertainnt industry.
How should he make it even bigger?
He had already thought of everything.
This?
No can do!
That?
No can do either!
This path was blocked, and it didn’t seem like there was any way of getting past it.
Finally, on this morning, Zhang Ye made a decision. If there was no way of getting through with brute force? Never mind! He still had one last trump card left to play, the ga ring! There was still an item in Zhang Ye’s ga ring that he couldn’t bear to use, and that item was the Difficulty Adjustnt Die. Moreover, he only had one left. Although this die was drawn from the Lottery Draw (One), it did not seem to exist in the higher tier Lottery Draw (Two) and Zhang Ye could not obtain this item after many tries. As such, it was easy to imagine how precious the item was. Each one that he used would an there would be one fewer. Zhang Ye had used it to help him get through so of the most difficult situations in the past, so it could be described as an imnsely valuable item, and Zhang Ye would not resort to using it so easily. But it was different this ti. If he didn’t use it now, then when? This was the ti he needed it the most!
Of course, he also had a love-hate relationship with this die. Thinking about the hijacking incident back when he had nearly lost his life, it was unforgettable to Zhang Ye and also one of the most terrifying monts in his life. If he hadn’t received the Lucky Halo after that, Zhang Ye would never choose to bring out this killer move so easily. This was because if the item worked to great effect, he could kill soone with it. But at the sa ti, if he did not manage to use it well, it could also achieve the effect of suicide!
Co on then, it’s ti for you to take the stage!
Success or failure, it all depends on this roll!
On the second floor of the studio.
Zhang Ye washed his hands and face before opening the ga ring. From it, he took out the die from the inventory.
[Difficulty Adjustnt Die]: After it is thrown, it will randomly change the player’s difficulty. The duration of its effects is random.
Reduce difficulty by 10×.
Reduce difficulty by 5×.
Reduce difficulty by 2×.
Increase difficulty by 2×.
Increase difficulty by 5×.
Increase difficulty by 10×.
There were six faces on the die, and on each face was a different difficulty level.
After that, Zhang Ye activated the Lucky Halo (Upgraded). When it took effect, he focused his mind and carefully took out that one and only die with so fear. The main thing was that he had experienced psychological trauma due to it, so even with the Lucky Halo supporting his attempt, he still felt panicky. This was because Zhang Ye knew that the Lucky Halo was not sothing that could ensure success in everything that he did. It would only help to increase his luck factor, and it would fail at tis too. But he thought that he shouldn’t be that unlucky since the Lucky Halo was rarely ineffective. There was probably only a 1% chance of failure.
Here goes nothing!
He kept mumbling as he pinched the Difficult Adjustnt Die tightly in his hand. Then he took a deep breath and threw it up into the air. He stared at it as it arced upwards to its highest point before dropping back down.
Clack, clack. It fell onto the floor.
Once.
Twice.
The die bounced three tis.
Zhang Ye’s heart skipped three tis along with it. He stared without blinking at the Difficulty Adjustnt Die as it rolled around on the floor before finally coming to a stop. He hurriedly got up and chased after it with a look of anticipation. The next mont, he nearly spat blood!
The system notification ca up:
[Increased difficulty by 5×!]
[Effective duration: 49 hours!]
Zhang Ye was stunned and swore!
“Fuck your sister!”
“Your grandpa!”
“Fuck your grandma!”
Zhang Ye was almost going crazy with hatred. The Lucky Halo had actually fucking screwed up. It had actually failed him at this critical and dangerous juncture! It wasn’t that this had never happened before. Back when the Lucky Halo was still the ordinary version, there had been situations when it would barely be effective or fail totally. When it received an upgrade, such situations beca very rare, although he did rember it happening once. That was when he was coming to the end of his employnt at Central TV where he attended the Central TV annual party and won all of the prizes. At that ti, there was a minor incident with the Lucky Halo (Upgraded), although that hiccup didn’t result in any major incidents. But it was different this ti. It had ssed up big ti, and this was a truly unfortunate ti for it to happen!
Five tis the difficulty?
A duration of 49 hours?
That’s a little more than two days?
Isn’t this as good as asking for my life!
He had hoped that the Difficulty Adjustnt Die would help him create sothing big for his concert!
But as it turned out, his wishes ca true. Sothing even bigger than what he wanted had happened!
Zhang Ye was cursing like crazy. If there was anything positive about this, it would have to be that he did not roll an “increase difficulty by 10×.” The hijacking incident was the result of getting a 10× difficulty from his die roll. If he really rolled that again this ti and its effect was for 49 hours, then that wouldn’t be any different from suicide. At least for now, there was still a chance of cushioning the blow. He could still be saved!
What should he do then?
Where could he hide for the next two days?
Zhang Ye’s mind was racing. There was no use in thinking about anything other than how to take refuge. He entered into a state of extre vigilance. Every now and then, he would turn left and right to look around like he was afraid of sothing suddenly exploding or a hand grenade suddenly flying in through the window. So he kept his Lucky Halo activated. He was hoping that the Lucky Halo could resist the increased difficulty from the die roll. But this was not a long-term solution as the Lucky Halo (Upgraded) was too expensive to keep in use. Every second that it was activated cost him 100,000 Reputation Points. That was 6 million Reputation Points per minute. He could keep it on for five minutes or ten minutes, but 49 hours? He couldn’t afford that. It wouldn’t matter how many Reputation Points he had, it just wasn’t enough for sothing like that!
Soone knocked on the door.
“Director Zhang?”
“Director Zhang, what’s the matter?”
“Who are you arguing with this ti?”
When they heard the cursing, Little Wang, Little Zhou, and several others who stayed behind in the office ran upstairs in a panic.
Then the office door opened and Zhang Ye ca walking out in an even more panicky state than them. The first thing he said was, “Don’t say anything. Just stay far away from . I’m going out to take refuge for two days, so I’ll leave you guys to hold down the fort during this ti. If anything happens, don’t panic. Wait for to co back to settle it!”
Little Wang was dumbfounded. “Ah?”
Little Sun was stunned. “What happened?”
Little Zhou said startledly, “Who are you taking refuge from?”
Taking refuge from who?
I’m taking refuge from everyone!
He was afraid that he would implicate other people, so he hurriedly departed from the studio after he finished speaking.
Walking on the street, he looked at the passersby around him. At this mont, everyone that Zhang Ye saw seed like they were a terrorist!
