My Player 2

Chapter 59: Malicious Game Mechanics

"Hey? Why am I dead?"

When 『Fighting Power Stage 3』 walked out of the "Resurrection Hall" on the second floor, he found himself back in the Iron Wall City, and his mentality exploded immediately.

He could accept being killed and sent back to the city by powerful monsters because of his own incompetence.

But I couldn't accept that after I went offline, I inexplicably returned to the resurrection hall without any knowledge of the situation.

What the hell, what is this?
I endured this shit-like real-scale map, concentrated my attention all the way, bypassed all the monster spawning points, and ran nearly 700 kilometers.

As a result, he was forced to log off and rest because of insufficient endurance.

Then when I came online again, I found that I had died and returned to the city.

He didn't even know how he died!

What's even more disgusting is that the death penalty in this game is very high.

Even if he used up all his saved experience points before setting off.

But because the body was not recovered, all his equipment and the contents of his backpack could not be retrieved.

After all, in the background setting of the game, the player’s backpack is just a “portable space” that grows with the level.

This is a kind of spatial magic that binds the body and cannot be brought back after resurrection.

In short, he had to go to the Crystal Sealed Village naked, then walk another 700 kilometers, bypassing the monsters along the way, and bring his body back after finding it.

Just thinking about it made the fire elemental's head start to smoke.

The third stage of the fighting force is red and warm.

He cursed, "Fuck you," and quit the game immediately, then logged back in ten minutes later.

Now that you've calmed down, it's time to consider how to stop the loss.

He is not a wealthy man. Although the big account in the first round is worth more than 90, that is because the prices in "Jueyuan" are stable, and the money is no different from putting it in the bank.

When he is in urgent need of money, he can sell the equipment at any time.

Although this will result in a loss of tens of thousands, just consider it as the rent that I have enjoyed for so long.

But now, these equipment worth hundreds of thousands have all become his costs.

No matter how disgusting this game is, he will continue to play it until he earns back the money.

Fortunately, the normal gameplay of this game is still a very good experience.

The outpost has unlocked the teleportation function, which means that subsequent teleportation points will be gradually unlocked as the player progresses.

Equipment and props are also easier to obtain than in the first round. If players meet certain conditions, they can also purchase a fully-powered exoskeleton and let the combat AI equipped in the exoskeleton help them "automatically find the way".

Moreover, even if he doesn't become a combat player, it would be nice to be a lazy player, learn some secondary professions, open a tavern in the city, chat with NPCs when he has nothing to do, and treat this place as another stage of his life.

Maybe I can even have a romance with an NPC.

The headache that "Fighting Power Stage 3" is facing now is entirely because he wanted to go to the "Advanced Map" to cause trouble in advance.

There are many players who have the same idea as him, but only a few put it into practice.

At least now, most of the players who have qualified are confident that they can avoid all monsters and travel around the Rich Continent.

The biggest problem now is that the character's [Endurance] is limited.

Once the yellow bar is used up, you can only find a place to log off and rest.

The higher the level of the area, the larger the monster's "search range" will be. Whether the player's body will be discovered after logging off is purely a matter of luck.

Just like what was said in the forum, before becoming a "street-level" gold powerhouse, the risks of running around far outweigh the benefits.

The game becomes more and more free as you progress in the later stages, and the operational changes brought about by the extraordinary body have made most players choose to level up honestly.

After preparing himself mentally, Fighting Strength Stage 3 walked out of the resurrection point. The treeman NPC blocking the door, holding a sign that read "Corpse Runner", successfully attracted his attention.

Seeing the fire element looking at him, the tree man suppressed his instinctive fear and took the initiative to ask:
"Sir, do you need a corpse-carrying service?"

"What's the price?" Fighting Power Stage 3 did not ignore him because he was an NPC.

"No money required." said the tree man.

"Don't want money? Are you doing charity?" The Fire Element obviously didn't believe it.

"No, sir, you just need to join the 'Golden Wind'. 'Corpse Running' is a benefit for guild members." said the tree man.

"...You really understand. You are much smarter than those NPC forces."

After saying this, "Fighting Power Stage Three" said no more, calculating the gains and losses in his mind.

The "Golden Wind" in the first game is, to put it nicely, the number one guild in the country, but to put it bluntly, it is just a large studio.

As an individual player, he hates those people who pollute the gaming environment the most.

You can see their development trend...

If I could join them in the early stage, the prospects might be good.

Want to join?

『Fighting Power Stage 3』 was a little hesitant.

After all, he was still nearly 1300 kilometers away from his "corpse" in a straight line, which was farther than the distance from Modu to Di in reality.

There are no planes or high-speed trains along the way, and there are a large number of monsters along the way.

If you go to collect corpses alone and you are unlucky, you may be sent back to the city by a passing wild monster after the yellow bar is exhausted and you log off. The risk is too great.

He switched to the backstage, opened WeChat, and prepared to look for the friends he had met in the past two days.

"Fighting Power Stage 3" has already made up his mind. If he can find a good friend to help him run corpses, he will reject the guild's invitation. Otherwise, he will join the guild.

……

"Oh my god, what the hell are you doing?"

As soon as "There's a Way to Die" came online, he found himself tied up like a dumpling and thrown into a Mongolian tent.

“Is this still the Rich Continent?”

"There is already a way to die." I was confused.

He wanted to break free, but found that the rope that bound him was a purple-level item [Fake Immortal Binding Rope], and his Shadow Clan's racial characteristics could not be released at all.

The soldiers guarding him were two monsters called [Holy Hun Empire Army·Lance Guards].

"There is already a way to die." You don't need to look up the encyclopedia to know all the characteristics of this monster.

Because these are the new monsters that appeared in the tenth major version. Ten days ago, he was still fighting these unlucky things.

These monsters are not in the Rich Continent, right?

"There is already a way to die" I suspect that I have accidentally entered a hidden gap in time and space, and I think back to what I did before I went offline...

He learned the secondary profession of [Chef], accepted the task assigned by the chef, and went alone to the "Secret Hot Spring" to pick mushrooms.

The village saint offers a reward of 2000 experience points for this mission.

Although the amount is small, it can improve the favorability of two NPCs, the Chef and the Saint, at the same time. After completing it, you can also eat the delicious [Hot Spring Mushroom Stew]. After getting tired of killing monsters, it is not bad to take such a relaxing task.

After he had collected enough mushrooms, he went to the hot spring to soak in it, and used the hot spring's buff of "speeding up stamina recovery by 50%" to log off.

When he went to the toilet and took a shower in real life and logged into the game again, he looked like this.
