Time Travel: Super Player

Chapter 4: Using the map to gain points

Under the tireless attack of the black ghost, the zombie tide that had just gathered was cleared out in just a few minutes, and the rotten corpses were piled up on the ground near the kiosk.

The air was filled with a pungent smell, so strong that it was almost impossible to open your eyes.

This battle, which could be called a m******e, almost killed nearly two-thirds of the zombies in the square. There were no large groups of zombies in the field of vision, and only a few zombies could be seen wandering slowly at the outer edge.

The black ghost had less than a minute left, and Roger directly turned it into IBM particles and took it back into his body, and then habitually began to count his gains.

Although he was mentally prepared, when he opened the score list, he was still shocked by the astonishing score number.

——2130.

Not to mention newcomers, even most first-level players probably wouldn't get much more than this number of pure kill points in each illusion.

And he only took five minutes.

What the hell is this...

Roger didn't feel it very clearly at first, until he saw this set of numbers, he suddenly realized what kind of terrifying initial advantage this EX-level [subhuman] bloodline gave him.

It's a pity that the Black Phantom's endurance is too poor. It typically charges for eight hours and fights for five minutes. It can only be used as a trump card to save the situation, and cannot be used as a regular skill.

Roger suddenly laughed at himself. He obviously has the dream-level EX bloodline that all players dream of, but he still wants a powerful skill that can push the illusion. Sure enough, the original sin of greed exists in everyone's nature.

"Let's upgrade first."

Roger called out the sci-fi translucent main panel interface again, and a flashing red exclamation mark appeared in the rank item below his name.

At the same time, several lines of extremely eye-catching red prompt text jumped out in the field of vision.

[You have met the upgrade conditions. Do you want to upgrade the current rank? 】

【Tip: Upgrading to the first level will consume 100 points, and the physical and mental attributes will be upgraded to 100 each, and the digital storage space will be opened at the same time. 】

【Tip: After upgrading, 1 commemorative medal is consumed every 60 natural days. (The commemorative medal is a must-have item for clearing the illusion and cannot be traded.)】

【Warning: If the commemorative medal is not paid on time, the player will automatically drop back to the zero-level state, all attributes will be permanently halved, points and props will be cleared, and the player qualification will be permanently cancelled. 】

This warning means that once you accept the enhancement, you must take the initiative to adventure in the illusion at least once every two months, otherwise you will be punished.

Clearing points and props is not a big deal, but the attribute halving when you fall back to the zero-level is quite serious. A person's initial attribute is no more than 100, and halving is basically equivalent to a half-disabled state.

The most terrifying thing is that this halving is permanent, which means that it will never be restored in life.

Roger still remembers the surprise and struggle that appeared on the faces of the survivors in his previous life when they first saw this red prompt.

Some people even cursed at the unfair terms on the spot.

However, Roger thought it was reasonable.

If you want to play someone else's game, you must follow the rules set by them. This is something that even children understand.

If you want to get benefits but don't want to take risks, then it's too willful.

"Upgrade."

Roger made the decision without hesitation.

While the points dropped by 100, the level on his personal attribute interface became "Level 1", and the physical attribute directly increased to 100 points, while the mental attribute was increased by the [Sub-human] bloodline, and it directly soared to 200 points.

Countless blue and white grids lit up from Roger's body surface, and a surge of power surged out of his body, filling his whole body without warning.

Roger jumped a few times on the spot, and then quickly made a few punching movements, then closed his eyes, carefully experiencing the long-lost sense of power.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and sighed softly.

"It's still a little weak..."

Having gotten used to the power of a single attribute exceeding 1,000 in his previous life, Roger really found it difficult to adapt to his current weak body for a while.

Although theoretically, the first-level enhancement is enough to make him stand at the peak of ordinary human physical fitness.

After the enhancement, Roger was not in a hurry to leave, but rummaged through the various tourist souvenirs placed in the kiosk.

"Ha, I found it, it's here as expected."

Roger held up a half-opened paper-sized print, as happy as a child who found candy.

[You got the prop - Good Luck City Tourist Map, do you want to consume 50 points for certification? ]

The illusion is very similar to a game, but it is not a game.

Except for a few illusions, most illusions are open world structures, there is no so-called main task, and there is no NPC who reads lines according to the plot.

But at the same time, there are countless hidden tasks and props in the world of illusion. As long as you look for them carefully, you will always get surprises inadvertently.

Before Roger was reborn, there was a special kind of player called "Explorer". Unlike ordinary players, they did not blindly pursue powerful strength, but worked tirelessly to dig deep into every possible hidden mission and rare props in the illusion, and wrote their discoveries into guides, which were published in the Explorer Guild's journal "Illusion Decryption" for people to read.

Of course, explorers are not volunteers. Most of the guides published in "Illusion Decryption" are low-level illusion guides for newcomers, while the current mainstream high-level illusion guides require a lot of points to buy.

Until he was reborn, the free guides of "Illusion Decryption" had been unlocked to the fifth-level illusion, and a few sixth-level illusions.

And the first-level illusion like "Zombie Rising" has long been dug up by generations of new and old explorers and there is no secret left.

Because there are too many hidden contents and it has been a long time, Roger can no longer remember them all.

Fortunately, he has always had the habit of organizing notes. Every time he publishes a new guide, he will select some high-quality or cost-effective tasks to record separately, so he still has a deep impression of these things he wrote personally.

For example, this [Good Luck City Tourist Map].

When he first entered the illusion in his previous life, no one would have thought that such a useful prop would be placed in a kiosk almost close to them.

"Certified map."

Although it can be used like a normal map without certification, Roger still chose to pay a high certification fee for certification.

The map is a special prop. Its function is not only to understand the terrain. Only after certification can its true function be displayed.

As a blue and white grid flashed by, the map in Roger's hand disappeared out of thin air.

At the same time, a translucent miniature map appeared in the upper right corner of his vision, and the green arrow in the middle represented his location.

"Expand 3D mode display."

As soon as the voice fell, a 3D holographic projection of Good Luck City immediately appeared in front of Roger. The various miniature interior decorations were vivid and many times clearer than the abstract flat map before.

Of course, except for the scenery on the square that was updated in real time, other scenes showed the appearance of Good Luck City before the zombie crisis broke out, which was only of reference value.

The holographic projection map rotated and zoomed at various angles with gestures. Roger looked at the familiar scenes on the map, and the long-forgotten memories began to wake up one after another, becoming clearer and clearer in his mind.

To be fair, "Zombie Rising" is a fantasy that is very suitable for newcomers. Its low difficulty ranks among all first-level fantasy.

Low difficulty basically means low benefits. Except for some hidden props, this fantasy does not have many things suitable for deep digging.

However, this place is not useless. At least it is very easy to obtain equipment. There are so many in the central commercial street that you can pick them up at will.

For a long time in the previous life, this "Zombie Rising" fantasy was one of the largest producers of white-board cold weapons on the market.

"Ah, the points have stopped growing. Judging from the time, Jia Shuai and his group should have reached the safe house..."

After taking a look at the scoreboard, Roger crossed his arms and muttered to himself.

Although the other party did not have a map, Roger remembered that there was a fat otaku in the survivors' team. It was with this person's vague memory of the game in the previous life that he successfully found the only safe house in the fantasy.

There was a small amount of food and water in the safe house. At least until these supplies were consumed, Jia Shuai and his group would not take any action.

Then it was time for him to perform.

But before that, he had to leave a little gift for the man in sunglasses and Jia Shuai.

Roger picked up a commemorative lighter with the Good Luck City logo on it from the counter, lit up a brand new map, and threw it out of the window.

In the bright firelight, a mysterious smile gradually appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"I really want to see their happy expressions when they receive this gift..."

At the same time, in Good Luck City.

Jia Shuai and the man in sunglasses, who were in different rooms, almost simultaneously received an email titled "Learn about the map of Good Luck City".

"Map?"

The two of them showed joy at the same time. At this moment, when they were completely in the dark, it was self-evident what a map represented.

However, when they tried to open the email, a line of system prompts suddenly popped up, which made the two of them curse.

"Who is this Nightmare? A broken map actually costs 500 points? Why don't you just go and grab it!"

...

As soon as Roger walked out of the kiosk, he received a system email prompt.

The map he sent to the man in sunglasses had been bought by the other party. After deducting 50 points for postage and 50 points for certification, he got 400 points of pure profit.

It was completely expected that the man in sunglasses would buy it so quickly.

After all, as a senior player, the man in sunglasses knew the importance of this map better than anyone else.

Moreover, the price of 500 points is also very subtle. It will definitely hurt the other party, but it won't break their bones.

As for whether Jia Shuai can sell it, it probably depends on luck.
