Chapter 451 - 211: Unlocking the Glory DLC_2
Even with just vision and hearing, Gu Ji felt a foul stench, and his stomach churned with acid.
An elderly black man sat heavily in the shade, despairing as he looked at the patients around him, when the sound of a car engine roared at the end of the alley.
Gu Ji initially thought they were armed forces again.
But in the blink of an eye, a white ambulance with a red cross emblem appeared in front of everyone. Its doors opened, and a large number of foreign medical staff in white protective suits got out.
"Everyone, it’s been a long wait. I finally found the international medical rescue team to treat this sudden illness!"
The speaker was also a middle-aged man in protective gear, but what puzzled Gu Ji was...
The person was entirely black!
That’s right!
Just like a suspect in "Detective Conan," he had only a pair of white eyeballs, black pupils the size of a ballpoint pen tip, and a mouth showing white teeth. Apart from that, everything else was pitch black!
The game perspective kept moving forward.
Gu Ji got closer and closer to the black figure. He could even vividly sense the other’s breath until the moment of collision. When he opened his eyes again, the perspective gradually pulled away from the black figure.
The surrounding scene also changed.
The sky was somber, and iron-like dark clouds connected, enclosing the village and land like a cage, extending fast-spinning cloud columns, roaring with the howls of evil spirits, sweeping toward the town like a ferocious tiger.
It’s a tornado!!
"Run——!!"
The black figure yelled, pulling a beautiful American woman beside him, hurriedly escaping toward his car.
At the moment of yanking open the car door.
Click.
The door opened, and the scene changed again — a massive and majestic conference hall with semi-circular rows filled with brown-skinned businessmen and officials in suits, appearing wealthy or powerful. On the podium facing the public, a middle-aged man with gray curly hair and brown skin began to speak.
The next moment, everyone looked in Gu Ji’s direction.
The camera turned, revealing several armed soldiers in desert-gray uniforms, holding FAL automatic rifles, quickly charging into the conference, their boots stomping swiftly and rhythmically on the wooden floor.
"From now on, the meeting is adjourned!!"
Among the soldiers, a black figure waved a large hand, and his men instantly rushed behind the panicked officials, adopting a high stance with guns, alert and ready.
Giant sandstorms, oil pipeline explosions, lost armaments, civilian companies hit by missiles...
Countless crisis images flashed quickly in his eyes, and Gu Ji vaguely seemed to recognize a familiar scene.
But soon, the trailers ended, and darkness returned to the surroundings.
A series of unique lines began to appear before his eyes.
[The path of human progress is not all smooth. Sometimes reaching the realm of difficulties and obstacles, it relies entirely on a strong spirit to get through.]
[Crisis Management Game’s Honor DLC is now open!]
[You will unlock new real-life honor levels. In the upcoming real world, you will have a chance to encounter sudden real-life crises. The game system will set level tasks and corresponding reward resources for you based on your current character’s level of ability;]
[You will unlock a new special item: Honor Points (Note: Honor Points are extremely precious);]
[You will unlock the Honor Shop;]
[This update brings a new crisis mode: Honor Mode (This mode is only applicable to real-life honor levels. Players will have no game time, life aids, and will need to make camp choices based on tasks, with each choice creating your own honor record in real life, be it fame or infamy, it’s all up to you...);]
[If you encounter unsatisfactory aspects during your experience with the new version, please do not rush, as the system will continue iterating and perfecting these updates with you. Enjoy playing and have fun!]
...
Gu Ji quickly browsed through the new DLC settings, closed his eyes, and began to systematically organize the information.
He needed some time to digest this stream of information and conduct a comprehensive intelligence analysis.
Firstly: The Honor Mode represents the game’s first true integration with reality.
In other words, Gu Ji can no longer possess the characters. He has to personally experience these honor levels, losing the opportunity to reload from death and the chance to start over with hearts, and the content for these levels comes from various crises he might encounter in his real surroundings.
Unlike Modern Mode, these crises will inevitably involve him personally, whether related to his work, his family, and friends, or perhaps while on a business trip.
If this Honor DLC was launched earlier, the operations to capture Sun Hengfei and Zhao Wenwu might have been transformed into Honor Levels by the Crisis Management Game.
The rewards of honor, personal show opportunities, money, and authority obtained by possessing characters in the game would now all fall on him alone.
But he also must face a critical and deadly point:
There is no restart in reality!
He,
only has one life.
Once dead, it’s truly over!!
But as the saying goes: "The greater the risk, the greater the reward."
The single-lifetime mechanism of honor levels brings precious rewards, Honor Points.
Gu Ji opened the newly added Honor Store in the game page.
A red flash.
The top of the page displayed the current Honor Points: 0. Below it separated into three pages: Treasure Hunt, Limited-Time Store, and Privileges.
In the [Treasure Hunt] system, there’s a massive red energy column standing in the center of a mechanical disc. The system will update the prize pool periodically, offering chances to win various unique precious items, one honor point per draw, 4.5 points for five draws.
The [Limited-Time Store] system is even simpler, directly divided into 12 slots, each holding a random item, updated weekly.
Gu Ji took a quick glance, even the weakest ones were marked in blue, with prices ranging from 1 to dozens of honor points, and the various bonuses were enough to get one’s blood pumping.
Until he clicked on the [Privileges] system and held his breath.
[Military Satellite Usage Permission]: Single use (1 Honor Point);
[Suicide Missile Drone Support]: Single use (0.8 Honor Points);
[Increase Success Rate of Seal and Item Synthesis by 5%]: 1.5 Honor Points;
[Terrorist Intercepted Intelligence (Top Secret)]: 1 Honor Point;
...
From strategic reserve support to rare intelligence and self-enhancement, everything was available.
"This is the true purpose of Honor Points..."
Gu Ji realized that the Treasure Hunt is just another red herring set up by the game.
As the saying goes, "gamblers never win," looking for tension and excitement from little to big?
How could the game let you win so easily?
It appears the rules are correct, Honor Points are indeed very precious, especially the items in the [Privileges] system, which cannot even be obtained through crisis points or treasure chests!
Once there’s a way to access this intelligence.
No matter if it’s Liangben, Volut, or PM, everything will be stripped down to the bare minimum!
This also marked the first definitive breakthrough point Gu Ji saw for a counterattack.
After calming his excited mood, he moved on to analyze the next point, which was the resource rewards in the honor levels.
In the game, the system could deliver items out of thin air right in front of him, and Gu Ji was curious if, in reality, the game could do the same, teleporting objects out of nothing?
Or if it would be through some other means...
After experiencing the bomb level, he had already surmised that there might be an "operation" behind the Crisis Management Game, whether it’s an individual, an organization, or even aliens, perhaps the truth will come out when the honor levels begin!
The last point, and also the most important one.
Player camp choices!!
That’s right.
Although those black figures in the trailers all looked identical head to toe, even with the same voices, their eyes’ expressions and their actions’ demeanor told Gu Ji that they were definitely different people!
