Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 101: The Difficulties of Execution, The Birth of the First Novice Player!
Wang Xiaoyu spoke eloquently on the other end of the phone:

"The first method is called electrochemical corrosion."

"Using a galvanic cell reaction, simply put, is to create an enhanced 'electrolytic cell' and use electric current to accelerate the corrosion of metals."

Chu Ming felt a headache coming on, completely confused, and quickly interrupted him:

"Stop it, stop it!"

"Old Wang, speak plainly. Just tell me how to do it. I don't understand all those technical terms."

"Alright then." Wang Xiaoyu pondered for a moment, then rephrased it in a more colloquial way:
"This method is very simple to implement."

"First, you need to find a liquid that can conduct electricity, such as concentrated salt water, which is an electrolyte."

"Then, you need to find two different metals, such as the aluminum sheet from an aluminum can and the copper wire from a scrap electrical wire, and use them to form an 'electrocouple'."

"The specific procedure is to tightly wrap the steel pipe of the security grille that you want to damage with a cloth soaked in concentrated salt water."

"Then stick the aluminum block and copper wire onto this damp cloth and make sure they are in contact with each other."

"In this way, a miniature galvanic cell is formed."

“Aluminum, as the anode, will corrode rapidly, and at the same time, the stainless steel pipe, as the cathode, will also corrode more quickly.”

"However, I must remind you."

Wang Xiaoyu added:

"Judging from the pictures you sent, the steel pipe is quite thick, so it's hard to judge its quality."

"It may take several days for the corrosion to reach the point where it can be broken by hand."

"The brine will evaporate during this period, so we need to find a way to keep replenishing it."

Chu Ming made a note of this method for the time being.

Although it sounds a bit troublesome, it's still a way.

"What's the other way?"

Wang Xiaoyu patiently explained:

"The second method is the temperature difference method."

"The principle is simpler: thermal expansion and contraction."

"By creating rapid alternations of hot and cold, cyclic thermal stress is generated inside the metal, thereby destroying its structural strength."

"As long as the temperature difference is large enough and the frequency is high enough, no matter how strong the weld is, it will become fragile and can be broken with a little force."

Chu Ming coughed lightly twice:

"Tell me in a way I can understand, how exactly do I do it?"

Wang Xiaoyu paused for a moment, then said:

“I’ve looked at the information you provided. Your area is probably in a tropical climate, with the highest temperatures at noon and in the afternoon. Also, the windows face the sun, so the weld joints will be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time.”

“In this situation, you take an ice pop and press it onto the weld joint that’s been scorching hot from the sun.”

"After the weld cools down, the weld is immediately damaged. If you're lucky, it might crack immediately. If you're unlucky, it will only cause surface cracking."

"Without seeing the actual product, I can't judge the welding quality 100% based on the pictures alone. Just to be on the safe side, you'd better prepare a few more lighters or candles."

"First, heat a spot with fire until it's red-hot, then quickly cool it down with ice or cold water, and then destroy it immediately. Repeat this process, and you'll definitely succeed."

Chu Ming seemed to be deep in thought:
"That's it..."

"Ok, I see."

The sound of footsteps came from Wang Xiaoyu's direction:

"Alright, I have to go to my meeting."

"I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."

Chu Ming hummed in agreement.
"Okay, busy man, let's get together again when you have time."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Ming immediately organized the two methods and sent them to Wang Zixu.

In the afternoon.

Wang Zixu was dozing off in class when his phone suddenly vibrated.

I secretly took it out and saw that it was a message from Brother Riyue.

After reading the two "broken window" methods sent by Brother Riyue, he pondered for a long time before typing his reply under his desk:
"Concentrated salt water, popsicles, lighters, candles... these things are very hard to get in the park."

"We would have to find a way to steal the concentrated saline solution from the infirmary, which was very risky."

"Lighters are contraband; only supervisors have them. We lackeys can only afford matches at most."

"As for candles, I've never seen them before."

"As for popsicles, they sell them at the small supermarket downstairs."

"I think the second method is easier to implement than the first."

"I'll try it sometime later to see if I can break the weld without candles or lighters, just using popsicles and sunlight."

……

……

By eight o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark.

Students and office workers logged on as scheduled after dinner.

Although I'm exhausted from studying and working all day, feeling like a dog, when I go online... well, I'm still exhausted.

The longer you play, the more you realize that its overly realistic nature isn't necessarily a good thing. In fact, it becomes a drawback of "The Bloody Golden Triangle".

Damn, the realism.

It makes people love and hate it.

Players can clearly feel the physical state of the game character.

Living in a fraud park, typing on a keyboard at an extremely high intensity every day, not having enough to eat or wear, and being under constant mental stress, it would be a miracle if one's physical condition were good.

Therefore, the players' state of mind is self-evident.

Even so, it still couldn't dampen the players' enthusiasm for the game.

The thrill of dancing on the edge of a knife, seeking a glimmer of hope, is unparalleled by any game.

There was a flash of light.

The sun and moon appeared side by side on the dormitory bed.

He immediately opened the system menu.

I received the points reward for being number one on the achievement leaderboard.

As the points were credited to the account, a system notification popped up.

[Your current achievement points meet the promotion requirements. Do you wish to spend 500 game points to upgrade your character?]

"Yes!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Riyue Tongcuo decisively chose to upgrade.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

Waiting for the scene of golden light flashing and transformation in my imagination.

however.

After waiting for a while, everything was quiet, and there was no change in the character.

"Ok?"

"I feel like I've been tricked."

I'm a little confused by the fact that both the sun and moon are wrong.

He felt that his body had not undergone any noticeable changes.

Did I level up for nothing?
However, when he opened his personal attributes panel, his confusion was finally resolved.

Name: Chu Ming

[ID: Sun and Moon Are Wrong Together]

[Level: Beginner Player lv1]

【Strength: 3】

[Physique: 3]

[Agility: 5]

【Spirit: 3】

"Beginner player lv1" simply means the current player rank.

Once the conditions for the next stage are met, you can be promoted to intermediate player.

As for the four-dimensional attribute column, each attribute has a related description.

It's similar to other regular games on the market.

Strength: Determines a character's explosive power, basic carrying capacity, etc.

Constitution: Determines a character's vitality and resilience, mainly reflected in their resistance to abnormal states such as disease and poisoning.

Agility: Determines a character's reaction speed, movement speed, and physical coordination.

Mental State: Unlike intelligence in regular games, it mainly affects a character's mental resilience, emotional stability, and learning ability.

The baseline value for all attributes is 5.

"5" represents the normal level for an untrained adult male.

After reviewing his own stats, Riyue Tongcuo shook his head slightly.

These attribute values ​​are so high that even a dog would shake its head.

Except for Agility, which meets the normal standard, the other three attributes are all below the benchmark value, making him look like an unhealthy young man.

However, a player's attributes are not static.

After upgrading, you can freely allocate potential points.

now.

In the attribute panel of "Sun and Moon in Misalignment", an additional piece of information has appeared.

[Unallocated potential points: 1].

He can choose to add this 1 point of potential to any one of the four attributes.

The sun and moon are both wrong. Scan the panel to check the four-dimensional attributes.

Soon, a decision was made.
