In the promotional event, there were a total of three gas, which Ren Suo had anticipated—after all, the Grain Rain promotion had featured only four.
It was quite normal for there to be fewer of these kinds of gas, especially since they were semi-finished and completely free.
It was just that the nas of these three gas were so peculiar that Ren Suo had been unable to make a choice the previous night.
*Pass the Hat*
"Everyone has a hat. Whose hat will you wear tonight? Estimated ga difficulty: 2 stars. Ti limit for completion: 7 days remaining."
*Flying Chess*
"Luck determines survival, luck determines effort, luck determines the outco. Estimated ga difficulty: 3 stars . Ti limit for completion: 5 days remaining."
*Guess the Number*
"To be Transcendent is not easy, but to be completely ordinary is even more difficult. Estimated ga difficulty: 3 stars. Ti limit for completion: 6 days remaining."
The descriptions were practically nonexistent. Though the ga nas resembled those Ren Suo played in his childhood, when paired with these non-descriptions, they exuded a powerful aura of terror and deceit.
It was like hearing the story of Snow White, only to suddenly learn she had entered the set of *Deadly Turn* or *Saw*, and encountered seven mbers of the Cannibal Tribe...
And indeed, these three gas were free, but at the sa ti, they were costly.
Because the gas had no protagonists.
However, a ga without a protagonist ant players had no character to control, rendering it unplayable.
Therefore, if Ren Suo wanted to play any of these gas, he had to ’sacrifice’ a protagonist for it.
Yes, the thod to acquire the semi-finished gas in this current promotion involved staking gas Ren Suo already owned and had completed. Only then could he temporarily gain the right to play these new, semi-finished gas.
Furthermore, Ren Suo could use the protagonists from the staked gas to play these semi-finished gas!
To put it simply, it was sowhat like a trade-in program.
If Ren Suo successfully completed the semi-finished ga, the staked ga would remain unaffected. But if Ren Suo failed to complete it, the staked ga would disappear.
Of course, the rewards Ren Suo had already obtained would not be lost. If he wanted to continue playing the old gas, he could repurchase them through the ’Search’ function. However, these repurchased gas would have no cleared progress. Even if completed again, they would offer no rewards, and the original records would be permanently lost.
For instance, if Ren Suo sacrificed the first Chapter of *Over My Dead Body*, failed, then repurchased the ga and cleared the first Chapter again, he would only gain access to the second Chapter. The records of ’Ren Woxing’ from the original first Chapter completion would be irretrievable.
Undoubtedly, even if Ren Suo sacrificed all his gas, it wouldn’t impact him much—after all, he had already completed them.
However, when Ren Suo discovered that ’completed gas’ were actually the currency to purchase ’semi-finished gas,’ he naturally started pondering other issues:
Why could ga characters from completed gas enter semi-finished gas?
Besides semi-finished gas, were there other situations where completed gas could be used?
When Ren Suo realized that ’completed gas’ were also a type of resource, he naturally beca more cautious. That was why he had spent the entire previous night in bed, thinking, unable to sleep.
If these three semi-finished gas had only cost rit Points, Ren Suo wouldn’t have minded, given his current abundance.
But to gamble a resource of uncertain utility on a semi-finished ga that only offered unknown exclusive rewards made Ren Suo hesitate for a long ti.
He felt like a clueless tribal chief from a bygone era being asked by a transmigrator holding a glass sphere, ’Those tons of black oil that only burn—would you trade them for this Peerless Glass Orb?’
Teetering on the verge of falling into a trap or being duped, Ren Suo’s final decision was to gamble on just one.
All three gas had completion deadlines, so Ren Suo would consider himself lucky if he could clear even one within its ti limit.
Moreover, since these semi-finished gas couldn’t be found via ’Search,’ missing the current promotion ant losing the chance to play them forever. Thus, he felt he had to try at least one.
Now, the question was, which of his owned gas should he choose?
*Assassin*, *If You Are Strong, Climb Ten Thousand ters*, *Over My Dead Body*, *Jedi Priest*, *Devouring the Spirit of the World*...
If the power levels in these new gas aren’t high, choosing the protagonists from *Over My Dead Body* and *Devouring the Spirit of the World* would an they could easily dominate everything upon entering, wouldn’t it?
The strongest Ren Family Cultivators, and the Handso Monkey King who surpasses even the strongest.
However, Ren Suo quickly discarded this impractical fantasy. What if the ga has special rules, or what if brute force isn’t a necessary elent for completion? That would be truly frustrating.
Moreover, if ga protagonists were indeed so useful, Ren Suo was unwilling to lose such powerful characters from those two gas so easily.
Unaware of this before, Ren Suo now knew that ga protagonists could cross into other gas. He naturally began to rank his existing gas: *Over My Dead Body* and *Devouring the Spirit of the World* were the best; *Jedi Priest* was next; then *Assassin*; and *If You Are Strong, Climb Ten Thousand ters* was the least useful.
Therefore, Ren Suo decided to use the Female Seeker from *If You Are Strong, Climb Ten Thousand ters* as the stake to acquire a semi-finished ga.
As for which ga to pick, it was naturally the 2-star difficulty *Pass the Hat*.
Ren Suo wasn’t aiming to gain anything specific from the ga; he rely wanted to see what these semi-finished gas were like. Consequently, he definitely chose the one with the lowest difficulty and the highest perceived chance of completion.
Once the acquisition was complete, a new ga appeared on the main interface. Its icon featured a pitch-black background with only a single candle and a hat, half-illuminated by fla, its style indiscernible.
"Put on your hat."
Upon starting the ga, an ancient-sounding female voice echoed as if from a great distance.
Ren Suo swallowed hard. He turned on all the lights in the living room, bathroom, and bedroom, and left all the doors open. Even though it was broad daylight, Ren Suo felt a chill creep up his spine.
At that mont, he recalled Li Dan’s words: "...those who don’t seize opportunities, who don’t take risks, can at least survive."
Bullshit! Forgetting about taking risks in life is one thing, but am I too scared to take a risk even in a ga?!
His pride as a keyboard warrior rallied him, and he focused his gaze on the screen.
"This ga saves automatically."
"This ga can be linked to a mobile phone, allowing gaplay on your mobile device."
Hmm? It can even turn into a mobile ga?
The screen gradually brightened, revealing a circular house nestled deep in a forest under the moonlit night.
The house floated off the ground, its main door wide open. The Female Seeker entered and found a Round Table inside. Seated around it were over a dozen figures, as hazy as mist.
On the table lay over a dozen hats of various styles: straw hats, peaked caps, conical bamboo hats, cowboy hats, and more.
Directly opposite the entrance sat the figure of a girl wearing a hat. Although there were candles in the room, they failed to illuminate the girl’s features.
The girl said, "Welco, welco. It’s been a long ti since I’ve encountered another player. We can begin the ga... But, where is your hat?"
Just then, a small, round cap suddenly materialized in the Female Seeker’s hands, and an item description popped up:
"Seeker’s Cap: Comprehension 20%."
The girl said, "Please, put your hat down."
On the screen, the woman of black mist placed her beret on the table, and the Female Seeker did likewise with her cap.
The table began to rotate at a speed discernible to the naked eye, and three ssages popped up in sequence:
"Press ○ to select a hat."
"Completion Objective: Wear all the hats and make them your own."
"Seeker’s Enlightennt: The Female Seeker can discern which hats ’She’ has not yet worn."
