章 33: The Spiritual Leader of Useless People
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qin Guan made his decision. He was going to become the benchmark for the useless person character, and he would become the beacon of hope that shone in the dark for all the players who played the useless person character!
He wanted to prove to all the Transcended Gamers in the world that the useless person character was the best starting character!
Once he made his decision, Qin Guan entered the world in his mind and began training.
Before he began though, he examined how to record a holographic video.
In the end, he could easily do so by clicking on the additional button that had showed up in the trial. Once he clicked it, he could record his entire training process.
Once he recorded it, he could even edit the video a little, such as hide his face, fix the camera angle, trim down the video's length, and do a few other things.
In short, the uploader could freely hide their personal information.
Qin Guan thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion that this function was rather important, because the recording was equivalent to a person's experience and a manifestation of what they had learned. If he uploaded it on the forum, it would be the same as him sharing himself with other people. How could he be certain that his holographic video would not help his competitors?
The forum was an anonymous social media platform, and plenty of people were unwilling to reveal their personal information.
This was just like how normal people would naturally avoid using their real names when posting on forums. This was a self-preservation technique. No one would foolishly reveal all their personal information online for others to read as they pleased.
Once Qin Guan began recording his holographic video, he completed his training as per usual.
Qin Guan was already very familiar with Jump!! and Fruit Cutter, so not only did he perfectly reproduce his previous results, his high score even went up a little.
His completion rate in Jump!! went up to 69%, and his score in Fruit Cutter reached 3,098 points.
His results might not have increased much, but even the slightest bit of increase at this level of difficulty was rare and precious…
Qin Guan watched the recorded holographic video in the world in his mind. He manipulated the video 360 degrees to observe himself from all angles.
"No matter how many times I look at myself, my movements are so darn handsome.
"Yup, I'm second only to the pro in the history records. Ah… this is practically a work of art."
Qin Guan began editing the two holographic videos.
First, he concealed his appearance. Once he picked that option, the Qin Guan in the holographic video put a veil over his head to cover his face.
Next, he fixed the camera angle. The holographic video which others could originally manipulate as they pleased was now fixed. Qin Guan made sure that the camera was positioned slightly behind him and not movable to other angles.
This meant that other people could only see his epicly cool movements and a small part of his surroundings.
Finally, he trimmed the lengths, leaving only a quarter of both holographic videos. He cut off the beginning and end for both of them.
Once he was done with it, Qin Guan watched the videos again and nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, perfect."
He was certain that the two videos could perfectly show his heroic bearing without revealing any of his personal information.
In truth, standing at the top of the world was something worth boasting. If anyone else were in his place, they might get so swollen in the head that they would publicize this matter everywhere.
However, Qin Guan was instinctively wary of this matter. Ever since he learned of the existence of the Parapsychology Association and the supernatural, he suddenly felt that the world was not as safe as he had thought in the past.
Just like what Du Wei had said, a person who knew how to use spirit power could easily kill a normal person, and modern science would not even be able to figure out the cause of death.
The trees that stood above all other trees would always be the first to be toppled by the wind. Qin Guan knew this fact very well.
Even if his skill was beyond others', it did not mean that his fighting power was at the top of the world. After all, everyone's fighting power was still influenced by their level and attributes, so who could say if there wasn't an abnormally powerful person who was already level fifty or sixty in the world?
After all, the people who had mastered spirit power a long time ago had higher levels than normal Transcended Gamers.
This was the reality of their world. The ocean was always much deeper than what people thought.
Hence, Qin Guan was cautious. He did not reveal his personal information in the holographic video.
'I'll just let the people have fun guessing the real identity of this Useless Person who now stands at the top of the world.
'I'm not being a coward. I'm not hiding my real identity or anything, I'm perfectly honorable. Useless Person is me, and I'm not going to change my user ID. How can I be considered a coward if I do this?'
He finished uploading the holographic videos in an instant and did not stare at it after that. Instead, he went to try and renew his high score again. He only read the other people's comments during his breaks.
When he did it, he finally put on a satisfied smile, because the comment section for his videos was filled with comments saying, [So epic!]
[My goodness! This pro's scores are real! The holographic video explains everything!]
[But why did this pro choose to cover his face?]
[Goodness. These perfect movements, these superb skills… my wig is officially snatched… This is truly a pro with unparallelled talent. Which country is he from?]
[It feels like he's in a completely different category from number two. He belongs to his own category…]
[My goodness. Look! The pro used a fruit knife to play Fruit Cutter! Why do I feel like the fruit knife is powerful in his hands?]
[This attack speed, this accuracy… Oh heavens, he's too terrifying…]
[The pro really started the game with the useless person character! You can actually be so strong with the useless person character? My fighting spirit has been ignited once again!]
[Seconded. I was almost in despair for choosing the useless person character, but the pro has let me see the hope of turning the tides! Thank you, pro!]
Qin Guan discovered that there were actually many people who had chosen to start the game with the useless person character…
When he thought about it, he found it quite normal. There were billions of people on Earth. No matter how low the ratio of people who chose the useless person character, once converted, the number would still be huge.
The reason behind why some people chose the useless person character: they thought that it had some sort of hidden attribute…
It was the same for the fruit knife. There were many people who chose the fruit knife as their weapon, just like Qin Guan (even though he was forced). They might have even been reminded of the foolproof method of answering multiple-choice questions: When you see three different answers, the one with the shortest answer is the right one.
The rest of the weapons were long while only the fruit knife was a short weapon. It was clear at first glance that it was not an ordinary item!
As he watched people rant and grumble, Qin Guan chuckled in his heart. 'You have no idea just how uniquely this system operates.
'It's unique in the sense that it's honest. If the weapon appears very weak, once you try it, you'll find that it is truly weak…'
However, when he thought of the useless person character, he remembered that it was not actually weak. Its problem was just the distribution of the stat points which was equal between the three basic attributes because of which it felt weak in the beginning.
Qin Guan was very glad that his act of uploading the holographic videos motivated countless players who played using the useless person character. It gave them motivation to immerse themselves in the endless trial once more.
Useless Person instantly became famous in the forum. Not only did he become the spiritual leader and teacher of all useless person players, all the Transcended Gamers began guessing who he was…
'I'll just leave you to your guessing and let this situation brew for a while. Then, once I reveal my real identity, it'll be even more shocking, right?' Qin Guan thought happily.
He was in an extremely good mood that day. He even increased the completion rate for both trials by a few percent.
However, on the next day, Du Wei sent a message on the chat group for the official class.
[Yesterday, a Transcended Gamer from America who managed to secure a spot in the ranking board died.
[There were signs of battle at the scene of the crime, but by the looks of it, the fight was not intense. The Transcended Gamer died with his eyes wide open, and his expression filled with fear and indignation. No signs of external injury were found on his body.
