Chapitre 39: You Repaired the Hole in the System
Éditeur: EndlessFantasy Translation
'What? What is it saying?
'A restorer? Doesn't it mean that it's to restore something? And it's a function model… What ARE these things?
'The three Diamond Lottery Tickets look so darn epic, but why did I get these three things when I activate them?'
Appearance wise, the items were irregular cubes, and their internal structures seemed to be constantly changing on their own. They looked cool, and they gave off a very technological feel.
"These items are also random, right? Could you give me some rewards that are more down-to-earth? Stop giving me something so abstract, will you?
"Or perhaps you can give me a luck enhancement potion or something as a compensation?
"Oh well, let's just use one of them."
Qin Guan squeezed down one of the Random Model Restorers, and the cube immediately expanded. While it changed shape nonstop, it expanded, and expanded…
In the end, it expanded until it grew into a huge screen filled with streams of data. Then, it spread into the distance.
After two seconds, three system notifications popped up at the bottom left corner of Qin Guan's field of vision.
[Random Model Restorer activated. Function to change starting character and weapon activated.
[All players may now change their character in Jump!!, and may also change their weapons in Fruit Cutter.
[Attention: This function can only be used once every three months. Allocated skill points will also not be refunded. Please be careful of your choice.]
"What? So everyone has this new function activated for them? This isn't solely for my use only?
"Ah… but there's no point in me having this function for my own use either. I don't even need this function…"
Qin Guan originally thought that the function was only for him and had been happy for a moment. But once he thought about it carefully, he found that he did not even need it…
While he did indeed want to use the athlete character to start the game and use the axe in Fruit Cutter, he did not want to change his character or weapon after playing with them for so long.
The useless person character was given the wooden pot lid in the third trial, and it was the best item to reflect the balls of light, so he would definitely not change it. As for the fruit knife? Qin Guan had gotten used to it a long time ago. If he changed to another weapon, he might have trouble using it, and what would he have to do then?
Once he changed it, he would not be able to change to a new weapon for three whole months.
Besides, when Qin Guan practiced, he mainly followed what the pro in the history records did. If he changed his weapon, his fighting style would not match with the standard answer.
"Oh well, I'll just treat this as me doing something good."
Qin Guan was thinking of using the next cube when he saw another system notification at the bottom left of his vision.
[You mended a hole in the system. It has upgraded one of your hidden attributes slightly.]
Qin Guan was stunned. 'Oh wow, looks like my act of kindness did not go unnoticed!
'It even upgraded one of my hidden attributes?'
He quickly opened his attribute tab and observed it for a long while before noticing that the attribute that had been changed was his charm.
It was originally "Charm: Somewhat handsome." Now, it had been changed "Charm: Considered handsome."
"What the heck? My face is perfect, you know? Why did you upgrade that one? Isn't it a waste?
"You could have upgraded my luck and gave me more good luck, you know?
"Oh well, perhaps it's precisely because I don't have good luck that I couldn't have my luck upgraded… Wait, won't that turn into an endless cycle if that's the case?!
"Let's activate one more."
Qin Guan took out the second Random Model Restorer.
[Random Model Restorer activated. Function to activate user ID in forum activated.
[All players may now change their username in the forum, but you will need to give up 2 Blank Talismans for this.
[You may change your name once every three months, but the system will retain records of the name you once used. If you spend another 2 Blank Talismans, you can delete the record of one of the names you once used.]
"Hmm? Why does this function seem so strange?
"The other function is free of charge, but we have to pay to use this function?!"
When Qin Guan thought about it more, he realized that they could not really be considered to be paying to use the function, because they could receive three Blank Talismans once they cleared Novice Mode. As long they cleared the Novice Modes in all three trials, they could get nine Blank Talismans.
Using two to change their username was not considered expensive at all.
Besides, only a few people would need to use this function. People like Qin Guan did not intend to change their names at all.
"Alright, since I'm doing something good, it doesn't make much of a difference. Anyway, system, could you PLEASE upgrade my luck when you decide to upgrade my hidden attribute this time?"
[You mended a hole in the system. It has upgraded one of your hidden attributes slightly.]
Qin Guan opened his attribute tab and observed it carefully, but even after observing it for a long time, he did not see any changes.
His hidden attributes were different from his base attributes. Their level was not shown in the form of numbers, but verbal descriptions.
"Then… the only possibility is that it upgraded my talent. Last time, it said I was extremely smart, and now, it still says I'm extremely smart, that's why there were no changes.
"Then does it mean that being extremely smart is already the highest appraisal?
"Oh well, my attribute points might have increased, but the verbal appraisal is already the highest possible evaluation, so there are no changes to it.
"Next one…"
Qin Guan brought out the final Random Model Restorer.
[Random Model Restorer activated. Mended the bug causing the unequal difficulty modes in the three basic trials. This affects Hard Mode and all levels of difficulty below Hard Mode.
[Now, Hard Mode and all levels of difficulty below it for Jump!! and Fruit Cutter have been increased to the difficulty level of If You're a Man, Last for Five Seconds.]
"I knew it, Medium Mode for the third trial is too hard. They should indeed lower the level of difficulty for that trial… Wait a second! System, did you confuse the order or something? Shouldn't you be lowering the level of difficulty for the third trial? Why did you increase the level of difficulty for the other two trials?!"
Qin Guan quietly read the system notification again, and he decided that he would carry his secret with him to the grave.
If anyone found out that he had accidentally increased the difficulty for the trials…
This adjustment was insane. Besides Qin Guan, all the other people in the world would feel trolled…
Based on what the system said, the difficulty in Hard Mode and all other levels of difficulty below Hard Mode for Jump!! and Fruit Cutter were too easy, which was why so many players could clear Medium Mode on the day the trials were launched.
The normal difficulty should have been something like If You're a Man, Last for Five Seconds. It should at least keep them stuck for a few days…
And this affected even the players who had cleared the trials since they wanted to renew their high scores.
Once they tried to do it, they would find that they could not even reach their previous completion rate. In fact, they could not even clear the trials that they had previously cleared…
[You mended a hole in the system. It has upgraded one of your hidden attributes slightly.]
"Why do I feel like I'm a lackey of the system? No way, I won't accept this!
"I'm a hardcore gamer! When I play games, I rely on my own head and skills! How can I rely on the system to help me?"
Qin Guan opened his attribute tab and found that his luck had changed from "sometimes good, sometimes bad" to "sometimes good, sometimes not bad."
"... Mister System, do you have any other trials? Could you give me another trial in Developer's Difficulty Level mode and two more Random Model Restorers?
"You could also just give me two Diamond Lottery Tickets!
"Or one, I won't mind just one!
"Hey, Mister System!"
