Ten rit Points could only fetch this much information from the tavern owner, but it was enough.
In the past, Ren Suo’s selection of gas nearly always boiled down to "try first and see," since he couldn’t judge the true content of a ga from its na or description alone.
Take "Inverted World," for instance; what relationship does that na have with a martial arts ga? There isn’t even an "inverted world" in the ga.
Now that there was the tavern owner, a character suspiciously resembling a gaming console ’navy’, Ren Suo could consult him for free ga selections in the future, directly picking the ga with the best value for money.
Even without choices, if Ren Suo could reach the conclusion from the tavern owner’s mouth that "you wouldn’t suffer a loss or be duped by playing this ga," he could rest easy.
Ren Suo was a firm believer in third-party evaluations; he always read ga reviews before buying gas and custor reviews before purchasing products.
Although the tavern owner might not count as a third party (he seed too much like a ’navy’), his words were like the final straw that broke Ren Suo’s last bit of hesitation. If Ren Suo found the ga unenjoyable in the future, he could simply bla the tavern owner—it was all because this a**hole tricked into wasting my life on a rubbish ga!
The thought of having sobody to shift bla to at any ti put Ren Suo at ease, and he decided to play "Night of the Hunt."
In less than a minute, "Night of the Hunt" had downloaded to the Mini-World Ga Console, its icon depicting a pitch-black background, a high-suspended full moon, city lights, and deserted streets; while there was no fire or blood, an aura of murder lingered.
Upon entering the ga, the icon suddenly filled the entire screen; the full moon carried a tinge of blood lust, city lights went out, silhouettes appeared in the streets, and eventually, the city was completely engulfed by the blood-colored moonlight, leaving only a lone figure bathing in the supre Blood Light.
In the light of the Blood Moon, four options erged silently:
"Waxing Moon," "Waning Moon," "Miracle Full Moon," "Waning New Moon."
Ren Suo glanced over them and discovered that "Waning New Moon" was to exit the ga, while "Miracle Full Moon" led to a page similar to a library of information.
The "Miracle Full Moon" page was divided into two parts, with "Miracle" as the title of the upper half and "Cost" as the title of the lower half.
Whereas "Waxing Moon" was to start a new ga, "Waning Moon" was for loading a saved ga.
Ren Suo consulted the internet and found that in Moon Phase changes, the Full Moon represented seeing a complete moon, while the New Moon ant the moon was completely invisible; it made sense that one represented the information library and the other the ga exit.
Selecting "Waxing Moon," the cara shifted from the Blood Moon to the city, where the darkened city rekindled with light, and twenty-eight streams of Moonlight, almost tangible, poured into the city.
Suddenly, the screen froze, and the cara fixated on an ordinary beam of Moonlight, within which seed to be the silhouette of a woman.
"Do you want to use the default character? Or create a custom character?"
"Default characters co with character tags, social connections, credit wealth, and partners of the opposite sex."
"Custom characters have no character tags, no social connections, you can set credit wealth, and they co with no opposite-sex partners."
"Creating a custom character requires at least ten rit Points."
Hmm?
Ren Suo narrowed his eyes. Default characters have everything: connections, money, and even companions. Custom characters don’t have anything; they’re all alone, super pitiful, plus you have to spend extra money to create one. I don’t have any special requirents for character appearances; I don’t mind even if they look as ugly as Patrick Star. If possible, I’ll try to make my ga character look a bit more pleasing to the eye, but if it’s not possible or necessary, I can completely ignore the ga character’s appearance—I’ve played QQ for so many years and have never paid for a Red Diamond subscription; my QQ Show avatar is barer than Cloning. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, I should choose a default character. In similar choices, like in "Jedi Priest," I also directly used the random character Zhao Zili instead of creating one myself. If I didn’t disdain Fatty back then, what’s there to disdain now?
However, after brief contemplation, Ren Suo boldly chose to create a custom character!
It wasn’t because he got carried away with the abundance of rit Points, but when the tavern owner reminded him he could create a custom character, he imdiately thought of "My Life is Not Your Ga."
That was just over two months ago, and Ren Suo hadn’t forgotten it yet!
In order to avoid becoming a Rebel again, Ren Suo would of course use every possible thod—and creating a custom character would undoubtedly completely eradicate the chance of the ga console playing dirty tricks.
"Wait." Ren Suo carefully looked at the silhouette in the Moonlight. "Is the default character a woman this ti?"
In other words, the protagonist is a woman... then it should be fine if I don’t create a character, right? After all, I’m not a woman; it’s genetically impossible for to be the protagonist. But... just because the protagonist is a woman, does that an I’m definitely safe?
After much deliberation, Ren Suo decided to still create a custom character. I’d better spend so rit Points to buy so peace of mind. Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare be ruthless toward the ga character.
When he reached the character creation interface, Ren Suo naturally chose a female ga character this ti. Although he tried hard, the number of male characters in his account was still increasing: Fairy Palace Assassin, Devouring the Spirit of the World, Magician, Ren Han, Zhao Zili, adventurer... and a new Black Coffin Demon King, again a male.
Then ca setting the appearance. Ren Suo thought about it and decided to make a stunning Western beauty with sky-blue hair and dark-green eyes—Disaster Girl is an Eastern beauty, Collector is an Eastern kitchen girl; now it’s definitely the turn of a Western beauty.
In no ti, a girl appeared on the screen with hair like the sky-blue heavens, tied in a high ponytail, fair skin, determined eyes, and a figure that was sure to turn heads.
"The na... Let’s use the na of the ancient Roman moon goddess, Luna." Ren Suo searched online and casually picked a na. It wasn’t an online ga anyway; even if I nad her ’Your Dad,’ it wouldn’t psychologically impact the enemies.
Having set the appearance and na, it was ti to set the credit and wealth.
It seed that the ga wasn’t just about fighting; money seed to play a significant role here—but it had to be the currency of this place. A custom character starts with 10 Wealth Points, and there was a note next to it, stating that about 10 Wealth Points could allow a person to live in this city for one day.
Ren Suo could directly convert rit Points into Wealth Points at a rate of 1 rit Point = 1 Wealth Point. However, there was a limit to this exchange, and Ren Suo could only exchange a maximum of 90 Wealth Points.
The crafty Ren Suo quickly discovered that one could perform the exchange of Wealth Points one by one.
Top Player’s Privilege "Plucking Feathers from a Flying Goose," activate!
This Player’s Privilege allowed Ren Suo to almost obtain everything in the ga without spending a single rit Point in this kind of frequent low-cost consumption, as its lowest effect was to reduce the necessary rit Points by 1 during consumption.
And when Ren Suo was exchanging for the 47th Wealth Point, he suddenly triggered the ’Swindler’ effect!
’Swindler’: The next consumption will definitely not require any rit Points to be spent; this effect has a 1% chance of triggering (After triggering, the number of rit Points saved by the Swindler effect determines how many days the effect will be on cooldown).
Finally triggered this special effect while playing the ga!
Ren Suo had almost forgotten about this special effect; the last ti he triggered it, it happened in "Midnight Walker" which was reflected in reality, when he turned into a beautiful kitchen girl.
Now that I can finally trigger the Swindler effect at ho, I must seize the chance to freeload a ga!
Just as Ren Suo eagerly opened the "World Store," he was suddenly dumbfounded.
I forgot, the "search" function... also costs 10 rit Points.
In the "World Store," unless it’s a holiday promotion, there are no gas available for purchase. Ren Suo had to spend money to search for gas first, and then spend money to buy them...
However, spending money would an losing the ’Swindler’ effect.
After facing off with the screen for five minutes, staring so intently his eyes almost crossed, Ren Suo dejectedly returned to the "Night of the Hunt" ga and directly used the ’Swindler’ effect to buy the remaining Wealth Points, his face etched with the vicissitudes of life and desolation.
"The great freeload plan is a big flop..." Ren Suo sighed. Unless I trigger the ’Swindler’ effect and don’t spend anything, waiting for a holiday sale, I have no chance of using the ’Swindler’ effect to buy gas. This is like finally winning a ’clear your shopping cart’ jackpot, but it’s restricted to either specified items or items totaling less than 10 yuan...
Ren Suo turned his head to look at the Cloning passing by, sighed, and said, "Well, you just don’t get it, do you?"
The apron-clad Cloning glanced at him and energetically began wiping the balcony windows with a rag.
After topping up for Luna, Ren Suo found that he hadn’t finished setting up his custom character yet; he could give Luna a... boyfriend!
"Opposite-Sex Companion: You can expend 100 hours of ’Rippling Spring Sounds’ summoning ti to let a ga character accompany the ssenger of the Moon in the Night of the Hunt."
Ren Suo rubbed his eyes. He hadn’t misread; it indeed said 100 hours of summoning ti.
If I had 100 hours of summoning ti, I could just rely on ga characters to blast through this ga! And I could vary it up too — use Ren Han on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the Devouring the Spirit of the World on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and let the Black Coffin Demon King out for so fresh air on Sundays! But, 100 hours of summoning ti... Does that an the real-ti duration of this ga (not ga ti) exceeds five days?
Ren Suo gave it so thought and then dismissed this detail. I’ll know once I play.
After creating the custom character, Ren Suo watched as what was supposed to be Moonlight flying towards the house suddenly plumted vertically to the ground, fell into a gloomy alley, silently transford into a human shape, and gradually weaved into Luna’s beautiful figure.
"Welco to The Dark Side of the Moon."
An androgynous voice, as gentle as a breeze, suddenly sounded, "This is the dream of the world, the dream of all beings, your dream."
"Silver Moon is the only Truth, please pray to the Silver Moon."
"Miracles are happening all the ti, long for the Silver Moon."
"Everything will be as you wish and think, ask of the Silver Moon."
"Twenty-eight Apostles of the Moon God, please collect the Silver Moon Crystals, beco the sole master of Miracles, the sole singer of Moonlight."
"When an Apostle has enough Silver Moon Crystals to please the Moon God, then that Apostle will beco... the new Moon God!"
The main quest popped up in the upper left corner of the screen:
"Collect Silver Moon Crystals"
At this mont, Luna had completely descended into this Sleepless City. She made her appearance donned in fluffy cotton clothing, deer leather boots, full-finger gloves on her hands, white earmuffs over her ears, and her face rosy from the cold.
Ren Suo quickly got the hang of the controls. Just then, a beam of light from the Silver Moon shot down, casting upon the city. The projection was not far from Luna; with a slight tilt of the cara, Ren Suo could see that thick column of light!
The map also marked out the path, stating that the quest item, ’Silver Moon Crystal,’ was right inside that beam of light!
Ren Suo imdiately controlled Luna to run towards it. As Luna dashed out into the street, Ren Suo noticed quite a few people around, dressed in wildly varied garnts—so dressed like people from the future with nano-clothing, others like dieval rcenaries—but no one turned to look at the light column.
In that instant, the Moon Phase in the night sky changed — from Full Moon to Third Quarter Moon, as though a little piece of the moon had suddenly been bitten off by a dog.
The lost Moonlight seed to fall to the earth, from the incorporeal to the corporeal, and in front of Luna, it twisted and flickered into two lines of text that finally settled:
"Your Miracle can replicate others’ cast Miracles."
"But your price is to repeat others’ words."
According to the control guide in the bottom right corner of the screen, Ren Suo could press the ’R1’ button to activate a Miracle.
Ren Suo blinked, not yet understanding what this ability ant, but by then, Luna was already near the light column.
The light column seed to fall on the rooftop of a five-story building. Ren Suo glanced up, imdiately equipped Luna with "Ghostly Rapid Step," "Mysterious Sovereign’s Secret Record - Mortal Shedding," and "Mage’s Death-Defying Feather," allowing her to effortlessly leap over the building to reach the rooftop.
However, besides Luna, there were four people standing on the rooftop, two n and two won. At the center of the rooftop was a crystal suspended in air, shimring like a teardrop, the size of a fist.
This crystal emitted a silver-white halo of about a 5-ter radius, and standing within this halo, Luna gained a Status:
"Affected by the Silver Moon Crystal, all Supernatural Ability power increased by 5%."
Luna’s arrival seed to break the standoff, and the four people imdiately made their move, attacking one another!
A young man suddenly shouted, "Miracle Nullification Field!"
Ren Suo instinctively pressed the ’R1’ button, activating his newly acquired Miracle ability, and Luna imdiately echoed with a shout, "Miracle Nullification Field!"
At the sa ti, another Black woman loudly declared, "Rebounding Miracle Shield!"
After the three of them shouted out, all five froze.
Among the five, three were Apostles of the Moon God, and the three Apostles’ Miracle abilities were respectively: nullify others’ Miracles, replicate others’ Miracles, and rebound others’ Miracles...
Ren Suo silently switched Luna’s ability to "Fla Overlord." Clearly, this is a situation that could be solved with murder and arson; why complicate it?
