After the excitent, Ren Suo cald down. Mo Zhaolong's incident had rung an alarm bell for him.
Mo Zhaolong's ability to suddenly put people to sleep was probably not due to external help. If it had been before, Ren Suo might have thought he had so high-tech device, but he had obtained a "One-Star Sleep Key" from Mo Zhaolong.
At this point, Ren Suo knew he should discard the worldview of an honor student. He needed to adopt a mindset that transcended reality to consider this matter—essentially, the fantastical thinking of an adolescent.
This world, this planet, was no longer that naive young lady in simple blue and white striped panties.
The Mini-World Ga Console and Mo Zhaolong's anomalies indicated that there were special circumstances in this world that Ren Suo could not understand.
Then there was the individual in the Black Body Armor. Like Mo Zhaolong, this person was powerful and mysteriously attractive to Ren Suo, very likely also a "special talent."
With this thought, Ren Suo took out his phone and checked the recent news highlights.
Celebrity affairs, the president lashing out at feminists, village wedding bridesmaid tumult... Nothing out of the ordinary.
Ren Suo then visited the forums he frequently browsed and didn't see any news beyond his imagination.
Could it be that Mo Zhaolong is a rare exception? Ren Suo couldn't help but doubt whether he was getting carried away with his own fantasies. At that mont, he noticed a new post on the forum: "Does the Fairy Palace Assassin really exist?"
Oh? Ren Suo clicked on it out of curiosity, but the next second the forum system popped up a ssage: "The post you are viewing does not exist."
Ren Suo was slightly startled, then quickly realized—there was information control on the internet.
At least words like Fairy Palace Assassin and Ranpelrouge were not allowed for discussion.
Thanks to the explosive video "Assassin's Bloody Banquet," the whole world now knew about an organization in the East called Fairy Palace, where any assassin was essentially a super gunman, capable of taking on a hundred opponents alone.
Although the governnt couldn't prevent the video from spreading, it could prohibit you from discussing the matter on other mainstream platforms, trying to minimize the incident's impact as much as possible.
Even if netizens could discuss it in chat groups, without widespread discussion on mainstream platforms like microblogs, news sites, and forums, the uproar would quickly die down. People's attention would be captured by other hot topics within a couple of days.
Ren Suo accessed foreign websites to try posting about the "Fairy Palace Assassin," and sure enough, it got blocked as well.
Not just Mysterious Country, but all major nations with a stake in the internet had implented a blockade. Since they could control the information about the Fairy Palace Assassin, they naturally could control other similar "special information."
Individuals like Mo Zhaolong, with such "talents," were likely still "rare examples" at this point, not nurous enough worldwide to cause any major disturbances. However, this also indicated one thing: beneath the calm surface, sothing significant had indeed occurred. That was why countries around the globe were tacitly cooperating to suppress information leaks.
If it were before, Ren Suo, just an ordinary citizen, would only drift along, becoming an insignificant pawn amidst the power struggles.
But now, he had the chance to step off the chessboard.
There were no lofty reasons. Ren Suo simply wished for himself and his family to have a safe haven in the coming tide. To achieve that, he needed to make himself "irreplaceable." Ren Suo knew he was a naturally lazy ordinary person, not leadership material, and frankly, quite afraid of death.
However, he only needed to acquire abilities through the Mini-World Ga Console that would make him irreplaceable—to the country, to society, and to the people. Then, no matter what happened in the future, he would gain collective protection!
Upon opening the World Store, Ren Suo found that this month's "free ga" in the list had turned gray. When he tried to enter, a prompt popped up: "This month's free ga has been played to completion, please wait for next month's free ga to refresh."
"Search" still cost 10 rit Points per use. Ren Suo checked his current rit Points: 14. Searching for the One-Star Sleep Key had cost him one point.
Although he didn't know the value of rit Points, he didn't dare spend them here, especially since he hadn't yet found an interface to add funds. However, the "Search" interface no longer displayed the ssage "You're too poor to search," but instead "Please enter the desired exclusive reward," which confused Ren Suo.
However, perhaps because he had so rit Points, a new category appeared in the World Store: "April Fool's Day Discount Items!"
April Fool's Day? Ren Suo was taken aback, only then rembering that it would be April 1st in two days.
"April Fool's Day Discount Items: From March 28th to March 31st, and from April 2nd to April 3rd (a total of five days), the following gas will have a 50% discount."
So there are no discounts on April 1st itself...
All the gas in this category, unsurprisingly, required paynt in rit Points, just as Ren Suo had guessed.
Even though Ren Suo wasn't wealthy, his desire to make purchases surged—because he couldn't even afford the discounted gas.
"Infiltration" 50% OFF, 40 rit Points; "Soul Ferrying" 50% OFF, 45 rit Points; "Super Power Rampage" 50% OFF, 150 rit Points...
I only have 14 rit Points! Ren Suo was almost spitting blood. He didn't see "Assassin" here, nor did he know how expensive it was, but he was certain he couldn't afford it. Isn't there so kind of beginner's pack?
Even so, he might not have been able to purchase these gas even if he had the rit Points. For example, the ga "Super Power Rampage" clearly stated it required Level 4 players and was grayed out.
Ren Suo noticed that these gas were either available for purchase by Level 1 players or required Level 4—Levels 2 and 3 seed to be just transitional, with Level 4 being a significant threshold.
Ren Suo hadn't yet discovered if any gas required even higher levels for purchase. Still, a quick browse revealed at least several hundred discounted gas. He couldn't find any information about them online, so he had no way of knowing how to play them.
At that mont, Ren Suo saw an option at the top of the category: "Show Only Purchasable Items," and he imdiately ticked the option.
The myriad of gas instantly dwindled to just one.
"If You Are Strong, Climb Ten Thousand ters," 50% OFF, 8 rit Points.
...This na looked pretty low-tier, even lower than Assassin.
But that was all Ren Suo could afford right now. If he didn't buy it, he would have to wait for next week's free ga, complete it to earn more rit Points, and then he might buy other gas.
However, Ren Suo looked at the ga's description and discovered a highlight:
"This ga is a puzzle ga. Players will embody a Truth Seeker climbing to the peak, where you will encounter countless extre weather conditions and disasters, and the only thing you can rely on is your own body! Completing this ga awards up to 40 rit Points, with an exclusive reward of 'Physical Fitness Optimization.' There are in-ga purchases, only one Chapter with no future expansion Chapters, ga difficulty: One-Star."
40 rit Points!
Ren Suo's eyes turned red with excitent. 8 rit Points for 40 rit Points—a 400% return!
As to whether he would lose out, Ren Suo didn't give it a second thought.
It's just a ga, couldn't I reach a platinum completion?! Couldn't I beat this puzzle ga?!
I am a hardcore player!
