Chapter 454 - 447: Evaluation, Points, Exchange!
Ji Xiuyin exhaled a hot breath, closed his eyes, and rested for a while.
He felt that if he didn’t adjust his mood, he might just die from rage at this stupid game on the spot.
After a short rest of a few dozen seconds, Ji Xiuyin opened a can of cola for himself.
Gulp, gulp...
Drank it in one go!
It’s worth mentioning that after receiving the invitation letter from the Game Main God, when he failed the second game, he went to find the homeroom teacher and asked for half a day off under the pretense of diarrhea.
Now, Ji Xiuyin was alone in the dormitory, with no one to disturb him.
"Come on! Fight again! I just can’t believe it, a game this simple, and I can’t get through it?"
Ji Xiuyin gritted his teeth, almost smashing through the phone screen.
As everyone knows, time flies when you’re addicted to a game.
In the blink of an eye, it was already 3 AM.
His roommates were either refining their Inner Qi or sleeping soundly.
Ji Xiuyin was still battling fiercely.
Besides that can of cola, he had taken in no other food or drink, putting all his Energy into the trial game.
As time passed, Ji Xiuyin gradually realized he was too naive.
The game had far more than just seven ways to die.
At least thirty-six.
Don’t ask why; just know that he’s experienced them firsthand.
This trashy game has terrible graphics, worse than even "Stardew Valley," only comparable to "Steve’s World."
But for some reason, every time the character died in slow motion, the art style dramatically changed, and suddenly the details were incredible, effects exploded, the budget burned, and the motion capture fidelity was high. Even the bizarre deaths seemed to fit physics, kinematics, and human anatomy so well that Ji Xiuyin felt like his character "deserved" to die.
In terms of death design, both "The Witcher 3" and "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" could only serve as its handmaidens, and "Laura’s 1000 Ways to Die" could barely compare.
Perhaps because he’d died so much, Ji Xiuyin was completely numb.
Seeing a new way to die, he would even smile lightly to himself.
In this numb state, Ji Xiuyin tapped absentmindedly on the screen.
Suddenly, the screen changed.
[Congratulations, you have completed the Beginner’s Trial and passed the first game.]
[Your overall evaluation is D, you have earned 20 Game Points.]
The track and game character disappeared, and a blank scroll appeared on the screen.
[Please write down your wish.]
It was then that Ji Xiuyin finally reacted.
"Damn! I cleared it! Hahaha..."
"You son of a bitch! You dog, staying up all night, do you want to get screwed?"
Ji Xiuyin’s smile gradually faded: "Sorry! Sorry! My bad!"
It was indeed his fault.
Disturbing others’ sleep in the dead of night, no wonder a roommate had a face like someone had died in their family.
But that’s not important!
What’s important is the rewards from the Game Main God!
Ji Xiuyin carefully tapped the blank scroll on the screen and typed a string of text.
"I want to awaken a National Guardian-level Superpower."
The scroll instantly replied.
[One D-level evaluation plus 20 Game Points to help you awaken a National Guardian-level Superpower. Do you think that’s possible?]
Ji Xiuyin’s face flushed with embarrassment.
Indeed, upon careful thought, this was indeed daydreaming.
If power were that easy to come by, wouldn’t the Earth be full of National Guardian-level Ability Users soon?
Just the thought made it clear it wasn’t possible!
So... let’s change the approach.
"Can you help me awaken a National Guardian-level ability?"
[A qualification test for the Shengyu Stone Superpower System requires the consumption of one D-level evaluation and 20 Game Points. Would you like to start the test?]
Clicked No at the speed of light.
It’s just a test, not actually helping him awaken a Superpower. Only an idiot would waste these hard-earned Game Points!
Ji Xiuyin fell into deep thought.
Evaluations and Points are both very important, and cannot be used casually.
As an Earthling, especially as a Chinese, with the "Burning Martial" manual freely provided by Prophet Ma Ran, he didn’t need to worry about cultivation techniques at all.
Theoretically speaking, by leveraging the power of the Game Main God and showing genius traits, there’s a chance to join an Academic Society. That way, cultivation resources wouldn’t be lacking.
After much contemplation, Ji Xiuyin finally input: "Please enhance my Inner Qi Cultivation and fix my lack of focus."
[Deducing the position of one acupoint requires the consumption of 10 Game Points.]
[Permanently enhancing one standard unit of Inner Qi requires the consumption of one D-level evaluation and 20 Game Points.]
[Disadvantage removal, currently a total of thirty-five solutions available, click for details.]
After Ji Xiuyin tapped on the screen, he was at a loss.
It’s simply toxic.
The cheapest disadvantage removal solution costs a D-level plus 15 Points.
Can’t have your cake and eat it too, now this is what you call a dilemma...
He sighed, and ultimately chose disadvantage removal.
He didn’t choose the cheapest one; instead, he picked the best solution his current purchasing power could afford.
His Points and evaluation hit zero instantly, and Ji Xiuyin went bankrupt on the spot.
At the same time, thousands of words of information abruptly appeared in his mind.
"So that’s how it is!"
Ji Xiuyin’s face lit up with joy: "This is a supplementary technique for ’Burning Martial,’ a method specifically for calming the mind!"
"Inner Qi is a pure high-density Biopower, and by following certain patterns, you can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and adjust heart rate to forcibly enter a state of intense focus!"
"The so-called suppression of the heart’s disturbances and restrictions of straying thoughts rely on this true technique. All that stuff about state of mind and enlightenment is just a hoax! Maybe it’s useful once you’ve reached a high enough Realm, but for a beginner like me, asking for a state of mind is just nonsense!"
"Though the Game Main God is a bit of a jerk, and the games he designs are trash, the rewards he provides are genuinely great!"
Ji Xiuyin manipulated the flow of Inner Qi, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.
If it were up to him, not to mention whether he could perfectly manipulate Inner Qi within his body, even if he could, he wouldn’t dare to use Inner Qi to stimulate nerves so easily.
Even though the Extraordinary Promotion and Popularization Department always emphasizes not to modify cultivation techniques recklessly, there’s no shortage of overconfident idiots everywhere.
Every week, Ji Xiuyin sees in the news section of the Earth Super Forum about "geniuses" trying to improve "Burning Martial," ending up turning themselves into idiots, regressing in Realm, or even dying on the spot...
Ji Xiuyin didn’t consider himself a genius, so he planned to follow in the footsteps of Ma Ran step by step.
While in such a good state, he started analyzing the benefits of the Game Main God’s invitation to himself.
D-level evaluation with a reward of 20 Game Points, roughly estimating, if there were an S-level evaluation, the highest evaluation should be 100 Points.
The "Burning Martial" System created by Prophet Ma Ran, besides simplifying the Ninth Rank of Inner Qi and making it more accessible and easier to cultivate, had its biggest turning point at the Tenth Rank of Inner Qi!
Equivalent to 1,024 full acupoints of Inner Qi, which should also correspond to 1,024 standard units of Inner Qi as mentioned by the Game Main God.
Deducing and filling an acupoint would total 30 Game Points.
Calculated this way...
More or less, just over 30,000 Game Points would be needed to cultivate to the Tenth Rank of Inner Qi with the Game Main God’s help!
Only about 300 S-level evaluations!
With this thought, Ji Xiuyin felt fully motivated and saw boundless prospects!
