My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 453 - 446: The Divine of Boredom

Ji Xiuyin was stunned.

As an old bookworm with years of reading habits, the moment this happened to him, he felt a strong sense of déjà vu.

"Is this a golden finger coming?"

"System? Cheats?"

"No! That’s not right! It should be something similar to the God of Games in an infinite flow main god space..."

Ji Xiuyin quickly reacted, his face flushed with excitement.

What is a fortuitous encounter?

This is it!

Although opportunities often come with risks, if he can seize this chance well, he might soar into the sky, achieve great works, complete a magnificent transformation, and chat and laugh with talents like Prophet Ma Ran, Martial God Su Qiangwei, and God Gray, becoming the trendsetter of this Extraordinary Era!

"Calm down! I must calm down!"

"The more critical the moment, the less I can afford to be impatient."

Ji Xiuyin forced himself to calm down, placed his phone face down on the table, and took a deep breath.

His shortcomings need no elaboration—not focused, lacking self-discipline, and having extremely obvious weaknesses.

Strengths...

Do indeed exist.

Ji Xiuyin doesn’t belittle himself.

He believes he at least possesses the determination and will to diligently cultivate, relying on his own efforts, taking it step by step to gradually become stronger.

Without mentioning far-reaching cases, even in his own class, many classmates have better cultivation talent than Ji Xiuyin, but they just take it as a pastime by fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.

"If it really is infinite flow... my sole advantage is the inner Qi of that one acupoint."

Ji Xiuyin sighed.

He didn’t believe that a pie would fall from the sky onto him.

"This self-proclaimed Game Main God guy is, in all likelihood, an alien, with a very low probability of being an Earthling!"

Although superpowers are bizarre in all sorts of ways, and it can’t be ruled out that some ability user might be playing a prank, Ji Xiuyin prefers to believe that the Game Main God is a neutral-positioned alien, just like a visitor from Cangming Star.

In fact, if it wasn’t for Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan, who lowers the goodwill meter, the visitor from Cangming Star could be considered as part of the friendly camp.

Thinking up to this point, Ji Xiuyin’s eyes flickered: "If I accept the invitation, I’ll be swept into some mysterious game where the survival and death rates can’t be guaranteed at all. Moreover, I might be restrained from revealing any information. For instance... if I utter the four words ’Game Main God,’ I might be erased by that mysterious existence."

"If I maintain a state of neither accepting nor declining the invitation, and directly hand the phone over to the nation..."

"No! Unreliable! The system is composed of people, after all. If any personnel at some stage harbors selfish intentions or vile thoughts, won’t I be made a fool?"

"It’s a pity I am just a humble nobody, without any influence or connections of my own."

"If I knew Ma Ran, it would be great. Telling the Prophet this message surely wouldn’t cause any problems, and... the Inner Qi Hall even directly raises the cultivation realm, forging a super-strong foundation, manufacturing opportunities, for which I’ve long been drooling."

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuyin, after seeing the invitation from the so-called Game Main God, finally felt his heart, which had been pounding wildly, calm down somewhat.

He is a high school student, not a seasoned veteran who has been jostling in society for years. Being able to calm down and think about these things is merely him imitating the thinking mode of protagonists in rational-stream online novels.

After a round of thinking, Ji Xiuyin sadly realized that he didn’t have a second path to choose at all, and all the seemingly "better plans" were either lacking feasibility or posed too high a risk.

Ultimately, Ji Xiuyin gritted his teeth, picked up the phone, and pressed his right index finger onto the green bamboo scrolls on the screen, pulling it firmly to the right.

[Welcome to the Game Main God’s Beginner’s Trial.]

[Start your first round of challenges.]

[After completing the challenge, you can consume game points to obtain anything you desire.]

[Elixirs, cultivation techniques, strong guidance...]

[Money, love, power, wisdom...]

The few lines of text on the bamboo scrolls were incredibly tempting to Ji Xiuyin.

He lowered his voice and said softly, "Everything in this world has a price marked on it; I don’t believe in free lunches."

"So, as a price, what do I need to pay?"

The other party ignored him.

Ji Xiuyin felt like he had made a fool of himself.

[Do you want to start a new game?]

A new line of text appeared on the bamboo scrolls, with two buttons below it, one labeled ’Yes,’ the other ’No.’

Ji Xiuyin clicked [Yes] without hesitation.

Opportunity given by Heaven, not taken, invites its wrath!

He had mentally prepared himself; hesitating and being wishy-washy, what kind of man would he be then?

Swish!

A white light flashed on the phone screen.

A moment later, the scene changed.

A 2.5D chibi character appeared before Ji Xiuyin’s eyes.

After observing for a while, Ji Xiuyin found that this little character’s appearance and body seemed almost identical to his own, probably set according to his body’s parameters.

Pretty amazing, but unfortunately not as badass as Ji Xiuyin’s illusions, because it didn’t directly transport him to another world after selecting [Yes].

Feeling slightly disappointed, Ji Xiuyin still focused his full attention, trying his best to concentrate.

Because he found the game scenario increasingly familiar; thinking carefully about it, isn’t it just the school playground?

Ji Xiuyin immediately went to the window to look at the playground and found that his memory wasn’t wrong; the positions of the trees in the game background were identical to those in reality.

"Only two buttons are shown, with feet drawn on top... so it’s a running game? Once the game officially starts, monsters will chase me, and I can only run away?"

Ji Xiuyin gulped: "If I die in the game, does it mean I will die in reality too?"

[Trial Game: "Run a Hundred Laps."]

Other than this, there were no hints or tutorials for beginners.

After hesitating for a while, Ji Xiuyin still gripped the phone with both hands, his two thumbs starting to alternately click on the two buttons with feet drawn on them.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

As he rapidly clicked the screen, Ji Xiuyin realized that this game was truly idiotic.

Pressing the left button would step the left foot, pressing the right button would step the right foot.

As a player, all he needed to do was maintain a rhythm and keep clicking, allowing the little guy on the screen to start running.

The first lap was easy, after all, it was just finger movement, and Ji Xiuyin didn’t need to actually run a hundred laps himself.

The second lap posed no pressure, and Ji Xiuyin even felt he was getting into his groove, gradually finding his gaming rhythm.

By the third lap, Ji Xiuyin let go of his mental burdens.

Initially, he was worried whether fatigue in the game would reflect in the real world and cause him to drop dead, but it seemed those fears were unnecessary.

Four laps, five laps, six laps...

The little character’s speed on the screen increased gradually, and on the ninth lap, Ji Xiuyin’s thumb twitched as he double-clicked the right button.

The little guy in the screen spastically shook his right leg twice and performed a spinning somersault.

The game character instinctively put out its hands to block the fall, yet its head still hit the ground first.

With motion capture extremely on point and maxed out details, it didn’t resemble some low-budget mini-game at all.

Just by watching this slow-motion, it makes one suspect that the entire budget went into this segment.

Crack!

A sharp sound echoed, and the game character’s neck broke from the fall.

[You are dead, would you like to restart the challenge?]

In his confusion, Ji Xiuyin also felt slightly relieved.

The Game Main God’s invitation seemed not to be as bloody and brutal as he had imagined.

At least after dying, he could start over, without being hit directly with a [Mission Failed, Erase Player].

"Again! I don’t believe I can’t beat such a simple game!"

Yet the appreciation Ji Xiuyin held for the Game Main God vanished completely after two hours.

"How could such a boring game exist in the world..."

The character he’s been controlling has died seven times.

Breaking the neck, breaking a leg, slipping on a watermelon peel off the track, dying directly due to too much speed...

This little crappy game has at least seven different ways of dying.

Ji Xiuyin gritted his teeth.

He felt his intelligence was seriously insulted.

Game Main God?

In my opinion, you should be called the God of Boredom!
