When Ren Suo returned ho, he turned on his computer to search the Internet, and indeed, there was a citizen who captured the scene when the night sky of Tianjing City was illuminated by the red aurora.
Although the video clip was only a short ten seconds, Tianjing City was both the capital of Xuan Nation and a popular tourist destination, so it was perfectly normal for soone to have captured the scene on his mobile phone at night.
However, the nation had yet to ban those videos, and it was likely because the scene seed to be a special astrological phenonon and hence there was no need to censor them.
Ren Suo logged in to the intranet but did not co across any posts discussing the red lotus aurora. Instead, he did find astrology enthusiasts discussing on internet forums about the extraordinary event which had only taken place so 10 minutes ago.
In a few more days, these people’s perceptions will change completely.
Nonetheless, since the red lotus aurora had appeared, Ren Suo felt that it was also ti for him to make a decision.
“Mini Worlds of Endless Fun Await!”
Turning on the ga console, Ren Suo selected the “Information” ssage on the upper left corner of the screen, and clicked on the very top of the list to turn the ssage gray—it was now a “Read ssage”.
[Congratulations, you have been promoted to a Level 3 Player!]
[ 1 Backup Equipnt Slot!]
[You can choose one of the following player privileges as your reward.]
[① Weak Player: Receive an additional Equipnt slot.]
[② Intense Gambler: Exchange a ga for a new one that is 1 difficulty level lower (the exchanged ga must not be a free ga) (the difficulty of the new ga will be at least 1-star, up to a maximum of 3-stars).]
[③ Novice Player: 5% rit points received each ti you are awarded rit points (but not less than 1 rit point).]
[④ Enhance existing player privilege.]
Although there were no rit points awarded from completing “Passing Hats” and the specialized reward given was not great, player experience points were still awarded, nicely promoting Ren Suo to a level 3 player!
Nonetheless, after Ren Suo opened the level up ssage, he still could not make a decision after deliberating for a day.
“Weak Player” was the most straightforward, but also appeared to be of the lowest value.
That was because it was easy for Ren Suo to switch the presently equipped abilities of both himself and the ga characters at any ti, so there was no absolute need for more ability slots.
If not for the fact that Ren Suo occasionally required a second ability, he thought that it was already sufficient to only have one ability slot and one prop slot. There would be no problem even if there were no backup slots.
However, given that an option like “Weak Player” appeared in a more “important” player level promotion, Ren Suo doubted himself: it was either that this player privilege is actually of lower value and it is rely a setup by the ga, or otherwise there are actually more powerful uses of ability slots which requires more ability slots to take effect.
A case in point would be an ability that occupied two ability slots. Ren Suo had co across too many of such settings in computer gas whereby larger items occupied more equipnt slots to increase the power of the player’s “bag”—a “Gigantic Zweihander” would occupy more space than a “Ring”.
But in any case, Ren Suo definitely would not choose “Weak Player”, for he could think of how to get more ability slots only when he needed to in the future.
“Novice Player” was also easily out of his consideration. But “Intense Gambler” was what made Ren Suo undecided.
With that player privilege, Ren Suo would be able to trade-in his old gas for new ones. Although the new ga would be one level of difficulty lower and the rit points, as well as rewards he received would be reduced, Ren Suo thought that since he had already completed the old gas, what use was there to keep them? Was he going to wait until Tomb Sweeping Day to burn the ga for his ancestors?
If it were before the “Lesser Abundance of Grain Promotion Event”, Ren Suo would definitely have chosen that privilege without any hesitation.
But things were different now.
Ren Suo had begun to realize the value of the characters from the gas he completed.
Even the Seeker, who was the weakest character he had, brought about two main advantages in the ga “Passing Hats”: firstly, she could see which hats had been worn by the girl shrouded in the black mist (those which glowed in red).
Secondly, she could transform the last hat, which was the Hat of Resentnts, the boss of “Passing Hats”, on her own without Ren Suo’s intervention.
If it were an ordinary computer ga, Ren Suo might have thought that it was a hopeless boss battle.
But he was playing on the Mini Worlds Gaming Console. Ren Suo could never be sure if it was rely a default setting of the ga that the Hat of Resentnts was transford by the Seeker, who had attained a perfect understanding of the world and was guided by the will of the heavens, or it was just that Ren Suo was lucky and selected the right character for the ga?
Pitted against 9 million Resentnts, Ren Suo felt that apart from the All-Devouring Soul and the strongest Ren family of Practitioners, there was no way for the other ga characters to overco the Resentnts.
However, the Seeker, whose combat ability was not strong, had an extraordinarily high level of cultivation and understanding, which suitably allowed her to win the ga without much intervention from Ren Suo.
In terms of combat power, the Seeker could only be regarded as an ordinary person who had sowhat powerful skills and did not tire out, but in terms of her will, she was halfway to becoming a saint. Her intentions were one with the heavens, and similarly, her will was one with the heavens.
After he saw the Seeker convert the last trial of the hat on her own, Ren Suo could not help but think—
If the Seeker could Practice…
Ren Suo knew that this was mostly just wishful thinking, just like when he was still an 18-year-old boy who watched ani and imagined that his 25-year-old self had a beautiful virtual girlfriend.
However, the Mini Worlds Gaming Console was rely a dim light in the darkness. Although it was not shining very brightly, it was sufficient for Ren Suo to continue to be filled with hope as he waited.
In that situation, he would be sacrificing a character from one of the gas he had completed just to exchange for a new ga, a smaller amount of rit points and a new, unknown ga character. After deliberating for half a day, Ren Suo finally decided that it was not worth it.
On the other hand, although Ren Suo was a pragmatist, the gas which he completed were nonetheless still a mark of his achievents and so he should keep those gas if he could… For example, Ren Suo would definitely keep the ga “Over My Dead Body” which he completed only after a grueling process and was also an extraordinarily impactful ga.
The reason why Ren Suo chose to beco a civil servant, to co to the Heavenly Institution of Lianjiang, and to beco an “unuseful” researcher, was because he preferred to achieve stable success in a grounded environnt, like the steady turtle who won the race.
It was not that he did not dare to take risks, but in the present state of things, he still did not know the full value of the characters in the completed gas.
It was none the wiser to choose the most certain option when profit and loss were involved.
[Your existing player privilege has been enhanced.]
[A Little Goes A Long Way: When making any purchases in the Mini Worlds using rit points, there is a 60% chance of -1 rit point required for the purchase.]
The chance of spending one less rit point in each purchase increased by 10%, and the restriction of a minimum purchase of 1 rit point was removed!
The overall effect was greatly enhanced!
Ren Suo heaved a sigh of relief. He had not wasted his ti completing the semi-finished ga “Passing Hats”, as he was promoted to a level 3 player and his player privilege was enhanced!
Nonetheless, Ren Suo did not have anything else to do. There were still a few more days to June, and there were also no promotion events ongoing. The Awakening of Dong Chengling was also still a few days away…
“Mmm?”
Ren Suo thought of sothing and returned to the main screen. He selected the ga “Holy Priest: Survival Battle”.
He could enter the ga!
After he had completed the ga previously, it was upgraded to a level 3 ga, and it required him to be a level 3 player before he could enter the ga to complete the new mission. What a pain in the ass!
It was not even a 4-star ga, and even 4-star gas directly restricted access to only level 4 players and above.
How could there be such a restriction on level 3 players only?
Ren Suo quickly skipped through the opening introduction and found that, on the main nu, in addition to [Begin Training] and [Continue Training], there was another option —
[Repaying Kindness].
“Would there be rit points awarded for passing the miniga?” Ren Suo said to himself as he clicked the option eagerly.
After scrutinizing the rules of the miniga for a good minute, he realized that there were no rit points awarded.
But Ren Suo’s eyes gradually lit up.
Ren Suo looked at the ti, great, it was 23:48. It was still early and imdiately called ho. He said, “Hello, it’s !”
“You scamr, shouldn’t you be more professional? It’s almost 12 midnight!” Ren Suo’s mother yelled.
Ren Suo: w (゜Д゜) w
He then called again. He said, “Mom, it’s , Ren Suo!”
His mother said, “Son, soone called just now and tried to scam , saying “it’s , it’s ”, how outdated! Does he not know the world he lives in, I was already asleep when he called, how inconsiderate!”
Ren Suo replied, “…Yeah, that’s really inconsiderate. But Mom, you should look at the caller ID before picking up a call in the future. If it’s an unknown number, you should just hang up.”
His mother said, “The room is dark, and it will hurt the eyes to look at the mobile phone. You see, your dad has to wear his glasses all day long, how ugly.”
Ren Suo could hear father snort intentionally loudly through the phone. He did not want to beat around the bush and asked directly, “Mom, Dad, would you and sister be at ho these few days?”
They replied, “Yeah, we will all be at ho. The school has relaxed its restrictions nearing the college entrance examinations and your sister cos ho to eat and sleep every day… Why do you ask?”
His mother suddenly lowered her voice as if suddenly recalling sothing and said, “You… you can’t be intending to bring your girlfriend ho with our grandchild, are you?”
“I won’t be going back ho for the ti being due to work,” Ren Suo said.
Ren Suo was too lazy to continue arguing and said, “Just rember not to eat out these few days, make sure everyone is ho for dinner! Bye!”
Upon seeing Ren Suo’s mother put down her mobile phone, Ren Suo’s father asked, “What happened to our son? Does he need money?”
After thinking for a mont, Ren Suo’s mother said in a serious tone, “… Who knows, a girl carrying our grandchild would visit us during dinner these few days. Is it ti to clean our son’s room? We can’t possibly let soone live in a room that has not been cleaned in three months, can we?”
Ren Suo’s father was also shocked.
He said, “The last ti our son ca ho was three months ago! I thought you would still clean his room occasionally!”
