This bug is amazing!

Chapter 86 Update: Multiplayer Arena and Job Change

Ji Yi woke up because she was hungry.

"Ugh, my head hurts. I should have known better than to stay up late reading novels."

The room was pitch black, so I got up and turned on the light.

"My phone isn't charged either."

Plug in the charging cable.

I sat on the bed and spaced out for a while.

Then I opened my phone, and there were many messages on WeChat.

First, open Miss Xie's.

【Crab Paste】：
9: 20.

"It's so greedy."

[View image.jpg]
15: 24.

"I took it to the vet for its vaccinations."

[Video], [Video], [Video].

17: 39.

[View image.jpg]
It was a photograph, a picture of Miss Xie holding up a kitten.

After carefully reading it, Ji Yi smiled knowingly and replied:

"Sorry. I stayed up late last night and slept all day, so I just saw the message. The kitten is so lucky to have such a good owner like you."

So, can you be my master?

Press and hold the [Backspace] key.

Quickly delete the text in the chat box.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have read that crappy chicken leg novel. It's made me feel so abstract."

Then open Miss Cat's message.

[AAA Brand Design]:
9: 19.

"You've become popular on the gaming forum. Be careful of scammers adding you as a friend. Don't let some burly guy with a few pictures of beautiful women swindle you out of everything."

10: 42.

"Busy?"

16: 31.

"The version is about to be updated, so I'll log into the game space whenever I have time."

18: 27.

"Are you still alive?"

Looked at the time.

It is 18:34 a.m. now.

He quickly replied, "I stayed up all night last night reading that lousy book called Chicken Leg. You know what, it's pretty interesting. He'll become a legend sooner or later."

Miss Cat replied, "Mm."

Ji Yi: "By the way, what's the deal with this version update?"

Miss Cat responded coldly: "Go online and see for yourself, I'm going to be busy."

Fine.

No rush, let me go to the bathroom and have dinner first.

Feeling overwhelmed with tasks, Ji Yi simply ordered takeout.

I cleaned up the dishes from last night and then took a shower.

Half an hour later.

While eating the 13.9 yuan duck leg rice, I looked at my phone.

I casually browsed the news.

out of curiosity.

He searched for the four characters "hyperdimensional games" on PiliPili.

Naturally, nothing was found.

The way this game operates is a game-changer for the real world, and information about the game cannot be leaked.

When Ji Yi first entered the game, she disappeared in full view of everyone on the street; there were even surveillance cameras at the entrance of the police station.

This doesn't attract anyone's attention.

There's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

I am afraid.

Even if you are giving a speech and suddenly disappear in front of thousands of people, it won't cause panic.

As for what high technology was used, that's not important.

What Ji Yi cared about was whether, under these circumstances, there were conditions to establish an official organization to control this group of people.
My mind is filled with random thoughts.

After a quick meal and a simple wash, I finished eating and washed up.

I lay in bed and started the game.

A huge version update announcement was right in front of you.

The note was covered with dense writing.

"Hiss," Ji Yi thought, finding it increasingly strange.

"Hyperdimensional Games, have you changed your personality?"

[New Multiplayer Arena Dungeon]

Players will engage in solo or team-based combat within the same instance.

Rewards will be awarded based on performance, task completion, and other criteria.

No death penalty

The last sentence is the key point.

A terrifying death game that must be played once a week, with no death penalty.

Suddenly.

Ji Yi remembered the two pieces of advice Ying had given him.

First, he started too late and couldn't just play once a week; he had to catch up with the top players.

Secondly, in the new version of the game, don't be misled by appearances; maintain a sense of awe.

"Should we maintain a sense of awe?"

Without the death penalty, would people still avoid this game with the same awe and reverence as ghosts and gods?
I'm afraid not.

"So there's information hidden here that I don't know. Eyes! Get out there and get to work!"

This is just a game announcement, the information is concise and to the point. What do you want me to read? A summary, or phonetic annotations for obscure characters?

".never mind."

In short.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; what's free is often the most expensive.

It's best to participate in competitive dungeons less often, as it can lead to complacency and a desire for more enjoyment over time.

When their sharp teeth and claws become dull, they will probably be close to death.

Keep looking down.

The second major update is the job change system.

Once a basic profession reaches level 20, players can choose different development paths to change professions.

Then, depending on the profession, additional attribute points will be awarded, some more and some less.

Even though you can't add points yourself, who would complain about the attributes you get for free?
After changing jobs, the level cap will be raised, and top players who have been stuck at a low level for a long time will probably be able to soar to new heights.

"I'm a full ten levels behind. How long will it take me to grind like this?"

do not care.

We cannot afford to be complacent in order to cope with unknown risks in the future.

Use the [Card Master Job Change Scroll]

[Class changed to: Card Master]

The original "Trainer" class has been removed and replaced with "Card Master".

I wonder what will happen if I enter the gym instance again.

"Then there are the exclusive skills for the first job advancement. Let me see."

【Name: Duel Game】

[Skill Card Attribute: Exclusive Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

【Effect 1 "Forced Gamble": Consume two blank cards to generate two playing cards. Choose one target and randomly hold one card with yourself.】

[Effect 2 "Victory or Defeat": Both players simultaneously reveal their hands and compare their cards. The winner randomly gains a buff or healing effect, while the loser randomly gains a debuff or health reduction effect. In a draw, nothing happens.]

[Effect 3 "The Coward": The side that refuses to participate in the hand card battle will be unable to actively harm the other side for three minutes.]

[Learning Requirements: Automatically unlocked upon becoming a Card Master]

[Note: In 1v1 duels, this is a skill with powerful suppression and dominance, but it is not suitable for those with bad luck.]

Ji Yi: "."

For Ji Yi, this skill is not needed for the time being.

At least the theoretical strength is very strong, but in practice...
OK.

Next, two more rewards will be offered.

[Used: Intermediate Career Gift Box]

Congratulations! You have received: 20 Blank Cards

"Great, saves me the trouble of buying it."

Although twenty blank cards aren't very valuable, Ji Yi still lacks game currency.

next.

[Used: Intermediate-Tier Exclusive Job Skill Card]

After the flash of light, a new skill emerged.

【Name: Mouthwash】

[Skill Card Attribute: Exclusive Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect: Consumes one blank card to generate a speech substitute card that lasts for 30 minutes. When attached to the body, the card can speak and communicate on behalf of the host, and is not limited to any user.]

[Learning Requirements: Card Master Class]

[Note: Haha, congratulations on getting an N-level card! You read that right, this is what you got from a mid-tier skill card.]

"."

The worst of the worst.

The panel was immediately closed.

Let's continue reading the rest of the game announcement.

Then I noticed an intriguing change:
The "GM's Permission" has been changed to allow the same item to be used only once, and it cannot be used on Mythic-grade items.

Is this considered a bug fix?

It's hard not to believe that this has nothing to do with me.

Perhaps Ji Yi will be the only person to have ever used a restricted item.

Read on.

Soon we reached the last line:
The version update maintenance will last for 14 days. During this period, you will be unable to enter dungeons, and the dungeon cooldown countdown for all players will be paused.

"It seems that even if we want to catch up on the schedule, we can't rush it for now."

Finally, I checked my friends' messages.

Three more friend requests came in.

[Chicken Leg Immortal] requests to add you as a friend.

[Hao Youqian] requests to add you as a friend.

[Zhuge Light Bulb] requests.
"?"

What happened? He's really become a celebrity?

I approved each application one by one. Then I opened the forum.

After a day and a night, the discussion about Ji Yi, a level 10 character, entering the rankings of the Magic Tower has decreased significantly.

However, several popular posts can still be seen, attempting to analyze Ji Yi's background.

I clicked on it and took a quick look; I was both amused and exasperated.

"What is all this about? How did I become a world-class gigolo?"

Miss Cat probably suffered a lot, but her situation is still within the normal range, which can be explained by the term "pro gamer".

Shut down the forum.

Chicken Leg Immortal was the first to send a message:
"Bro, you're a celebrity now! How did you clear the Magic Tower dungeon? Can you teach me a trick?"

Ji Yi replied: "Old Deng, update soon!"

Then they just left it alone.

Hao Youqian's art style is:

"I'll give you money, and you'll help me get on the leaderboard, but if I don't get on the leaderboard, I won't get any coins."

"How many?"

Name your price.

"One hundred million."

"roll!"

Zhuge Dengpao was online, but he didn't send Ji Yi a message.

Ji Yi didn't care what he wanted to do.

These 14 days are just enough time to get the real-world moving plan sorted out.

Soon, we returned to reality.

Ji Yi was busy preparing for the move.

Open the Little Yellow Book (a popular online bookstore) and look for rental guides.
three days later.

New residents moved into the apartment next to Xie Jiayi's.

The monthly rent for this apartment is a bit expensive, at six thousand a month excluding utilities, but it has the advantage of being spacious and quiet.

Occasionally, the sound of heavy objects being moved could be heard from next door.

She ignored it.

He continued to tease the little black cat.

at the same time.

Ji Yi was making loud, clanging noises next door.

"Damn, when will I ever get rid of this stingy attitude? I'm already renting a place for six thousand a month, why can't I spend a few hundred more to have the movers help me move?"

Been busy all day.

Ji Yi finally managed to arrange everything that needed to be arranged.

"Gallery rack, dumbbells, barbell."

Although the apartment has a gym, Ji Yi is more concerned about privacy and some hygiene needs.

"I'll treat these remaining ten days as a vacation."

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Yi rarely goes out and orders takeout every day.

Occasionally, he would make empty promises and use the title of "Alliance Leader" to tease that struggling writer nicknamed "Chicken Leg."

He often works out late at night, the clanging and banging of his feet accompanied by shouts of exhaustion.

Fortunately, the soundproofing is good, and I haven't received any complaints.

Hsieh Chia-yi's side.

She felt that a strange person had moved in next door.

She never goes out normally, and whenever she orders takeout, she insists that it be left at the door and never shows her face.

If you listen carefully against the wall in the middle of the night, you can hear a man groaning and moaning.

"Could it be a lewd live stream targeting a niche audience?"

An image of a muscular man wearing a mask flashed into my mind:

Do you like Van games?

"Ah, stand still, good boy/girl~"

"Roar! Roar! Roar! All for the Party!"

Huh.
It feels very likely.

Living next door to this person makes even the air I breathe polluted.

Let's find another opportunity to move out next time.

Fourteen days have passed; it's time to enter the game.

First, put enough cat food in the automatic feeder.

Everything is ready.

“Link start.”

Miss Cat sent a team invitation.

agree.

Ji Yi joined a team.

Captain: Schrödinger's Cat.

Team members: Tang Hulu, Chicken Leg Immortal, Ji Yi.

Team news.

Miss Cat: "Multiplayer competitive mode, are you ready?"

"Okay, go ahead and open it."

Tang Hulu: "Yeah."

Chicken Leg: "Ready?"

Miss Cat: "Mmm."

This was a team-up that the group decided to form temporarily after discussing it over the past ten days.

Tang Hulu, that clingy fanboy, goes without saying; it would be really unreasonable not to include him.

Chicken Leg Immortal was someone Ji Yi actively recruited.

He only writes 8,000 words a day, who does he think he is? He needs to be pulled over and given a good talking-to.

And so this team came into being.

For exploratory purposes, Ji Yi will eventually have to test the waters with a multiplayer competition.

[Entering the instance]

[Instance Name: The Despicable Clown]

[Number of Players: 14+]

[Mission Objective: See the specific rules within the instance for details]

[Limited Time Offer: 3 Days]

[Difficulty: Unknown]

Ji Yu opened his eyes.

He found himself sitting in a restaurant, but there was no one around.

What is your identity?

A system notification sounded in my ear.

【Joker】

Then came a densely packed explanation of the rules.

Fourteen players compete independently, and each player receives a unique playing card of a random suit, ranging from Ace to King.

Among the 14 players, there is one Joker card. Every 3 hours, the Joker can choose to impersonate any one of the playing cards.

The Joker's unique objective is to eliminate all players.

[Please prioritize killing the Joker.]

Ji Yi: "."

The victory conditions for the remaining players are as follows:

[Spades: Player who kills a specific card]

[Hearts: Guarantee the survival of a player who plays a specific card]

[Cube Set: Collect X missing cards (X is related to your own points)]

[Plum Blossom Group: Ensuring they survive to the end]

The game ends when time runs out or all surviving players meet the conditions.

Ji Yi: "What terrible luck!"

Then look at the status bar.

[Attribute Restriction: In this instance, all players' base attributes are reduced to 20%]

As a PvP instance, this limitation is insignificant.

On the contrary, it puts some high-level players at a disadvantage.

The larger the base figure, the smaller the gap will be narrowed by proportionally lowering the base figure.

Talk about it.

I haven't seen who these 14 players are yet.

Check who participated in the dungeon.

Passerby A, Passerby B, Passerby C, Passerby D, Passerby E, Schrödinger's Cat, Ji Yi, Tang Hulu, Chicken Leg Immortal, Zhuge Light Bulb, Hao Youqian, Mad Blade Slaying the Moon.

The other two are...

Second place in the single-player tower defense rankings: You can win even if you play with your feet LV.20.

The number one ranked player in the single/double tower defense game is: Drunken Wanderer LV.20.

Ji Yi: "."

Can I kill these two immortals?

The clown's goal is to eliminate all the players unless they all collectively lose their intelligence, and Ji Yi pulls another trick to drive the tiger away to devour the wolf.

Otherwise, it will be difficult.

However, considering the attribute reduction, even in direct combat, Ji Yi may still have a chance.

In fact, this situation is relatively extreme.

If things go smoothly, it's possible for Ji Yibing to win without bloodshed.

While thinking.

A person walked in through the door.

He was a skinny-looking nerdy guy—

You can win even if you play with your feet.

He got straight to the point:
"Tell me your points and suit, or else..."

He took out an epic-level rifle and aimed it at Ji Yi.

"7 of clubs."

Ji Yi gave the answer instantly.
