Chapter Four: This Month's Rankings
1258 Words
Chen Ye clicked on the first post with a serious expression, only to find that the content described how one's appearance underwent a dramatic change after the game started.
The comments below all indicated that they had the same situation.
Some people said they wouldn't recognize their relatives and friends even if they were standing right in front of them.
"After the City of Destiny began, everyone initially received a new identity, and even their appearance became completely different from before?"
Chen Ye's heart stirred slightly as he recalled the pockmarked man he had encountered by the bridge earlier.
Clearly, not everyone in this city has become a player; many are likely monsters originally present in the game.
After everyone's appearance changed, it became impossible to tell who was human and who was a monster.
Chen Ye scrolled down and saw someone say that they saw other players rushing into some places in a panic, and when they came out, they were like zombies!
Everyone in the thread was terrified, and dozens of comments were asking about the specifics of the situation.
The poster was extremely flustered and dared not stay where he was to see what was going on.
Run as far as you can!
Everyone was anxious; faced with an unfamiliar situation, they desperately wanted to know the specifics.
Chen Ye pondered for a moment, then understood.
This guy probably got caught up in the "game" and got ripped off by those despicable natives!
Assimilated into the demonic force!
In the bizarre era, you can't just enter any place. Those seemingly ordinary shops are actually high-difficulty dungeons for novice players!
If you accidentally break the shop's rules, it's like losing the game!
The inevitable outcome is death!
Some shops require specific characteristics to enter; otherwise, stepping inside means certain doom.
"The blood-red countdown was just the beginning!"
"The game has now officially begun."
"If I die here, then it should really be the end."
Chen Ye took a deep breath and then closed the post.
Now.
Many players are searching for their relatives and friends, going so far as to post online to identify themselves and desperately seek help.
For example, at Linjiang University, where Chen Ye studied, someone posted an ad trying to find alumni.
Most of the group members were students from other places, because they had no relatives in Linjiang City to help them, so they could only ask classmates they knew to form a group.
When faced with an unfamiliar and dangerous environment, having familiar people nearby can increase one's sense of security.
Chen Ye did not join, knowing that forming a group would be pointless under the rules of the Strange Era.
Moreover, people's hearts have always been unpredictable. In times of peace, everyone can remain friendly, but when faced with a life-or-death situation, who can guarantee that they will not betray others?
Opening the post from the West Street Cake Shop, it was discovered that the poster had also encountered a similar deadly game—
"There's a cake shop on West Street that says 'Free Samples'."
"But please, everyone, don't go there. A friend of mine went there and ate the food..."
"Then he suddenly acted like he didn't recognize me and became one of the employees. It was really weird!"
"I accessed his blood-red phone's contact list and tried sending him a message to ask what was going on..."
"But the message that popped up on the blood-red phone showed that my friend was already dead!"
Even through the screen, other netizens could feel the despair and fear in the poster's heart.
There was a perfectly healthy person standing right in front of you, but it showed that the person was already dead!
The posts below were almost unanimously filled with expressions of fear; some were so scared that they started randomly identifying husbands on the forum.
Uh...on closer inspection...it seems there are male users too!
"This is really a mess!"
Chen Ye sighed inwardly.
at present,
Players throughout the city have been transported into the game world of the bizarre era.
However, not everyone has played "Strange Era" and lacks knowledge of this dangerous world.
It's easy to imagine that at the beginning, a large number of players will be eliminated by the rules.
"The bizarre era follows the principle of equivalent exchange; what is free is the most expensive."
"These newbies didn't understand the true meaning of the rules at the beginning. They thought that since there was free food, they could at least fill their stomachs."
"The same as the relief meal when the blood countdown appears."
"Once you eat it, you'll naturally be assimilated into the game, turning from a player into an NPC, which is no different from being dead."
Chen Ye made a guess about the rules of the game.
After the bizarre era descended into reality...
Some parts seem different from the original game, so we need to be more vigilant.
Even if you are a beta tester, you can't assume that all the information you have is correct.
These are the pitfalls that beginners often fall into, and you must avoid them!
Then.
Chen Ye opened the [Monthly Ranking].
According to the game rules of the Mysterious Era, different types of rankings will be held every month.
The higher a player's ranking, the richer the rewards they will receive.
The higher the tier, the higher the value of the reward.
The first place winner will also inherit the exclusive talent for this month!
Chen Ye opened the ranking rules for this month, and a list of information immediately popped up on his blood-red phone.
[This Month's Ranking - Bizarre Growth]
[Starting April 1st, the rules will calculate the unusual growth points of all players in the City of Destiny to select the Rising Star!]
[This month's bonus:]
[1. Playing the corresponding role will quickly earn you "Strange Points".]
[2. Unlock stage achievement tasks. Reaching the current achievement task will earn you rewards, with a maximum time limit of one month.]
[3. During the last three days of the month, an event will be held that triples the eerie value. Stay tuned!]
The screen of the blood-red phone flashed again.
Immediately afterwards.
A list of achievement tasks for a certain stage appeared in front of Chen Ye—
[Wanderer Stage Quest]
Daily Task: Accumulate 10,000 meters of hiking (666/10000)
[Weekly Task: Accumulate 100,000 meters of hiking (666/100,000)]
[Monthly Goal: Accumulate 1 million meters of hiking (666/1,000,000)]
"So walking on foot can increase the eerie value and unlock stage achievement missions?"
Chen Ye was slightly stunned, but after realizing what was happening, he felt a surge of joy!
original.
In the bizarre era, the identity of a wanderer is the most difficult to attain.
But if you add the rules and gameplay of this month's rankings, then it's a completely different story!
You can gain weirdness points simply by playing the role!
Compared to other identities, the way a homeless person needs to play their role is very simple.
Just leave.
The characteristics of the wanderer, combined with this month's rule increase...
It's safe to say that Chen Ye can become stronger just by walking!
The "step counting" function in the stage panel allows you to see how many steps you have accumulated.
Thinking of this, Chen Ye immediately quickened his pace and started walking faster.
Eight hundred steps!
Nine hundred steps!
One thousand steps!
"bite!"
Just then, the blood-red phone suddenly received a message notification.
[You walked 1,000 meters, eerie rating 10!]
