I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

"Leizha! Squinty-eyed! You took one of our cards... Never mind, it's insignificant."

Xiao Di said, "Our goal from the beginning has been to train with Bisky. According to your description, Greed Island in this game is indeed a very good and convenient place for training..."

That's the truth!

For people like Jingyang and Xiaodi, living in the city wouldn't be easy to find a suitable training ground in the wild, especially for Jingyang, who practices both Emission and Enhancement techniques, both of which are extremely noisy. Even Xiaodi, when wielding her Nen chainsaw, is incredibly powerful and destructive. If she were to unleash her Nen abilities, she could create flying sand and stones, sucking up everything in sight... They are no longer the novice Nen users with only a few thousand Nen points a year ago. If they were to hide in their rooms and cause a ruckus, they would quickly transform into a demolition crew.

However, renting out a dojo or similar venue is not cost-effective for people like Jingyang and Xiaodi who frequently travel around committing crimes. They can only make do with wild parks in various places, and they have to move around from time to time to avoid being surrounded and photographed by passersby.

As for living in the countryside far from the city... well, Xiao Di might be willing to adapt, but for Jing Yang, who has been used to modern life for two lifetimes, it's really unpleasant to be in an environment where there isn't a single shop within ten kilometers, the internet signal is intermittent, and the power and water are cut off every now and then.

"What about them? Are they going in too?" Bisky pointed to the Moon Tiger lying in the cellar, and the little gray bird hanging on its head.

"Of course, Wu Er's little skirt hasn't been mastered yet," Jing Yang said, snapping his fingers. Wu Er immediately stood up, retrieved two game rings, and Yan Que helped carry two game memory cards. They found an empty game console, inserted the cards, and logged in.

The rock finch's ring, like an anklet, was on its claws. It jumped onto the game console and, after holding its breath for a long time, finally managed to exhale.

Wu Er's hands were too big to fit the ring on his finger, so he used his tiger teeth as fingers and stuck them in. The ring fit snugly in the middle of the teeth. Luckily, the game ring had a special design and couldn't be damaged by external force, which saved him the trouble of worrying. Wu Er nodded to Jing Yang, then leaned his big head toward the game console, shaking off his pent-up anger from his forehead.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Iwatzu and Takeji vanished into thin air, leaving behind two puffs of smoke in front of the game machine.

Little Drop asked curiously, "It really disappeared!"

“Why are you so surprised?” Bisky asked.

"Because they clearly have my control system markings on them..." Jingyang explained to Xiaodi.

"Idiot, teleportation-type Nen abilities generally belong to the Emission type." Bisky put her hands on her hips and walked towards another empty Greed Island game machine. "A person who has been marked by a Manipulation type can indeed defend against other Manipulation types—but what do the rules of Manipulation types have to do with Emission types?"

Incheon takes full responsibility! We'll start again tomorrow...

Chapter 228 My Brothers

The floating chair on the control panel, which was connected to the Greed Island main system program, was like Frieza's floating wheelchair, and was quite soft and comfortable. Ida, with her hair disheveled, was dozing off on the control panel.

Greed Island has been around for about nine years now. From the initial influx of many players, the island is now basically saturated with players. In fact, there are hardly any people coming to the login portal of Greed Island for ten days or half a month. As the receptionist and one of the game designers, Ida comes here to work every day, and naturally she also plays on her phone, catches up on sleep, and takes a break.

"Di Di..."

The control panel suddenly emitted an electronic notification sound. Ida rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up. "A new player has logged into the game?"

She reached for nothing beside the control panel, then rummaged around and finally found a helmet-like hat under the seat. Actually, she didn't really like it; the design was strange, and the decorative patterns were bizarre. But Jin, that capricious brat, insisted that without it, she'd look too much like a real person, and wearing it would make her appear strange and exotic, giving new players a greater sense of immersion in the game, and so on…

But Ida actually thinks that any Nen user who can enter this game, unless they're exceptionally stupid, should realize within a few days that this isn't actually a game world, but rather a corner of the real world. Those who are slightly smarter, or even luckier, might have already figured this out before even entering—

The reason is simple: to create a truly game-like virtual world and then drag outsiders into it, such a high priority requires either a Manipulation-type Nen ability or at least the characteristics of a Manipulation-type. Greed Island, a game they created together, uses a login method that releases Nen abilities, so it naturally cannot be that extreme.

In fact, using the mandatory operation system to create a purely virtual game world is not impossible for them with their technology. This was indeed a plan that Jin and others had considered initially. However, after a vote, Jin vetoed the plan and abandoned it.

Ultimately, most designers agreed that games are made for players to play, and of course, they should try their best to ensure that all players who have access to the game can enter the game equally, whether you are a newbie or a pro, you can adventure here without any worries and experience the joy of the game.

If the login method uses Nen abilities, it's not just a matter of infringing on player privacy, but an undeniable violation of player safety, which is really not good... It will also make many discerning people hesitant, even if they obtain the Greed Island game console, they will not be willing to "offer their necks to slaughter" and enter it, putting their personal freedom and safety in the hands of the game designers.

With her mind wandering, Yida put on her oddly shaped helmet, straightened it, and placed her hands on the floating control panel. She sat upright in the chair, adopting a serious, robot-like demeanor, and then pressed a button. The door in front of her slowly opened.

She looked closely and almost lost her composure.

A small gray bird impatiently flapped its wings and flew in...

Moreover, outside the quickly closed door stood a large, pure white tiger—if she wasn't mistaken, this was the Miserable Moon Tiger, which only inhabits Kakin and Ghost Island.

"Caw caw?" The little gray bird flew in and scurried around the room.

At first, Ida suspected that this was the appearance of a materialization-type Nen user in disguise, but seeing that it didn't seem very intelligent, she dismissed her suspicions. After asking a few more questions, she learned that although the little gray bird seemed to understand human speech, it could only chirp and make noise, making it impossible to communicate.

After glancing at the gaming ring on the little gray bird's ankle, Yida checked the security camera footage again, looking outside the entrance passage. She had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. They'd come as a group! And with birds and tigers on their leashes—quite a grand display…

She clicked her tongue inwardly, but remained outwardly calm. Following the procedure, she spoke a few words to the mute Taliyah, then pressed a button on the control panel. Taliyah was instantly teleported out of the landing point and thrown into the Greed Island game area outside the building...

……

The door to the passage opened again, and the Miserable Moon Tiger, who was blocked by a light screen, looked back.

Not long after it and Yan Que entered, Jing Yang and the other two also appeared out of thin air. However, just like it, they could only enter one by one, otherwise they would be refused entry and have to wait in line.

"You go in first, and don't wander off." Jing Yang waved his hand. "Also, call out to the Rock Sparrow, and don't let it fly around."

Both Wu Er and Yan Que have star marks on their bodies, so even after completing the entrance tutorial and entering the game, they don't need to worry about encountering other players. Having a star mark is essentially like being half-invincible...

Can Yuehu nodded and slowly walked in after the entrance gate opened.

The door closed, and Jingyang, Xiaodi, and Bisky looked around. It was a domed, cylindrical building, and the interior decoration style was exactly the same as the Greed Island comics in Jingyang's memory—large blocks of color and black rectangles with distinct lines, rugged yet somewhat mysterious…

But Jingyang always felt that these patterns gave him a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen them here, except on Greed Island.

"This is... the character for 'god'?"

Xiao Di approached the wall and carefully examined the black patterns. It turned out that the large black spots were actually composed of individual "神" characters the size of rice grains.

Bisky strolled around with her hands behind her back, looking up and observing her surroundings. She remarked, "Such a big room, filled entirely with the character 'God.' I wonder who had the patience for this?" Then she contradicted herself, muttering, "There must be some convenient method to mass-produce these combinations of 'God.' Looking at these patterns, they're piece by piece, forming distinct areas; it seems they've already achieved modular assembly… The game's designer is truly amazing…"

The Greed Island game machine outside is indestructible, and it clearly has the character "God" nested inside, with its function corresponding to the "God" array in this room.

Not long after, the entrance gate reopened.

"Wow, that was fast!" Little Drop said.

Before she and Jingyang could decide who would go in first, with a "whoosh," Bissie transformed into a yellow lightning bolt and rushed in first.

Jingyang exclaimed, "The old lady really hasn't lost her childlike heart!"

Whoosh!

Before the door closed, a white glove flew out. Because it was imbued with Nen, it was extremely powerful.

Jing Yang grabbed it and said with a sneer, "I can catch even bullets!"

……

Biskey was slower this time; Jingyang and Xiaodi waited outside for more than 40 minutes before the door reopened.

After discussing it, the two decided to let Xiao Di go in first.

After another 50 minutes, Jingyang sat cross-legged outside, almost asleep, before the door was reopened.

He yawned, then stepped inside with interest, walking along a narrow passageway whose walls were also covered in divine runes, towards another door at the end. The door opened automatically as he approached, revealing a spacious room. What remained unchanged was the dense, large-scale black rectangular patterns covering the walls and floor; what had changed was that a small wheelchair resembling Frieza floated in the center of the room, upon which sat a seemingly frail and beautiful young woman, looking at him with a businesslike smile.

"I don't want to clear the level, and I don't want any cards. I just want the Blue Planet. Can we talk about it?" Jing Yang raised his hand first and asked politely, "Or you can take me to Du'en, or Lei Zha will also work. Or you can just call Jin over and send them all, buddy! It's just a gem. I can always buy it with my own money."

I will try again!

Chapter 229 Oh, I'm getting anxious!

After Jing Yang finished speaking, Yi Da, sitting on the floating control panel, maintained her professional smile, but stared at him for several seconds.

"How is it?" Jingyang said, "You're all happy, I'm happy, everyone's happy, isn't that great!"

Yida smiled and said, "The Blue Planet is one of the items in the game. If players need this item, please try your best to complete the game after entering..."

"If you're going to pretend to be an NPC, then don't just stare at me without saying anything in the first place..."

"If you knew Jin, you would understand that if you went into his game and wanted something, he would likely make things difficult for you, doing everything he could to prevent you from getting it easily..."

"You're only halfway through the installation?" Jing Yang pouted.

"Now we need to explain the rules of the game. Mr. Jingyang, would you like to hear the explanation?" Yida maintained her professional smile.

Jingyang lifted his foot and walked towards her, his fingertips flowing with chanting.

Yida remained expressionless and pressed an operation button.

Instantly, the floating chair she was sitting on raised a peculiar light screen.

"I just wanted to ask, how did you know before I even introduced myself?" Jing Yang waved his hand and laughed, secretly thinking to himself that if he remembered correctly, the girl at the entrance and the receptionist at the game's exit were both designers of the game Greed Island. Judging from her skillful activation of the defense mechanism just now, she had probably been threatened by players who entered the game with force many times before—the one at the exit was probably the same.

Greed Island, each letter represents the first letter of a game designer's name. Ida and her twin sister correspond to two E's, Kim, that unreliable guy, has a G as his first letter, and Leza thinks it's an L...

Yida glanced down at the control panel display. "The name is displayed by default after entering the game, and only the game administrator has the authority to modify it. Mr. Jingyang, would you like to hear the game instructions?" she confirmed again.

Jingyang said, "Then let's listen."

I still remember the general plot of the comic, but I've completely forgotten the details like the game rules. This is a good opportunity to review them.

Then, in an NPC-like tone, Ida slowly explained the rules of the game on Greed Island.

In short, the entire Greed Island was probably completely modified by 11 Nen users, including Gold Freecss. Therefore, the vast amount of material on the island can be interacted with by the player at the game level.

Each player entering the game receives a game ring with two "spells": 'BOOK' and 'GAIN'.

When players are playing on the island, any item they hold will automatically transform into the corresponding card within seconds.

Players can say "BOOK" to take out a book of cards from their ring and fill the card slots in the book with the cards they have obtained.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part is the designated card slot, which stores the designated cards numbered 0 to 99. The second part is the free card slot, with a total of 45 empty slots.

The designated card slot can only hold the first 100 designated cards; the free card slot can hold any card, including designated cards. Even if a player picks up a random stone on the ground, the stone will turn into a card after a few seconds and can also be put into the free card slot in the book.

Players can hold any card and shout "GAIN," at which point the card will transform back into a real item for the player to use.

However, it should be noted that once an item that has been turned into a card is de-carded, it can never be turned back into a card.

In other words, players can either collect or use all the item cards on the island. If they choose to use them to increase their card collection progress, they will have fewer usable and handy items. If they choose to use them as items, they will have fewer cards that can advance their progress in the game.

The condition for passing this game is so straightforward: collect all 100 designated cards numbered 0 to 99 and fill the designated card slots in the book, and you've passed the game—it's just a card collecting game.

"What an outdated game with gameplay from the last century!" Jing Yang thought to himself, as he had never been very interested in these kinds of card collecting games.

Yida then explained many things about the cards in the game, and Jingyang patiently listened without letting it go in one ear and out the other... Yida finally said, "The explanation just now is the minimum rules of the game. For more detailed information, please explore it yourself while playing."

She politely extended her hand, pointing to the spiral staircase leading downwards to one side. "Welcome to Greed Island. Please go down those stairs. Have a good trip."

"Okay." Jingyang walked towards the stairs, but suddenly turned back before going down.

Yida stretched halfway, then silently sat up straight, resumed her professional smile, and turned to look at Jingyang.

"After all that effort to create such a realistic game, the gameplay is so monotonous, it's really boring!" Jingyang said. "I don't think this is the kind of game that Jin, that unreliable guy, would make... And there's even a 'complete' ending, like 'the story is over, the game is over, everyone go do whatever you want.' How frustrating is that for players who are truly immersed in the game? It's so unfair! This is such a social game, it should be an open-world exploration game, so that players can play endlessly and always be excited to discover new gameplay, new things, and new Easter eggs..."

Ida said, "A story should have an ending."

“That’s not necessarily true. I’ve seen plenty of authors who abandon their projects!” Jing Yang got excited when she heard this, but Yi Da interrupted her, her professional smile crumbling as she scoffed, “If the game doesn’t have an ending, are we supposed to stay on this island forever? What are you thinking!”
