Upgrade Requirements

[It's almost the end of the year, and we need to look at our KPIs. If my rating can rise by one level in the new year, the power it grants to the host will be even greater.]

Lin Nieran pointed to his Fame points balance. "One million Points is easy to come by, but two million Fame... do I look like someone who can come up with that?"

Who would be so kind as to accumulate two million in Fame without using it for gacha pulls?

[The host can use Performance Points instead! One Performance Points equals 100 Fame Points! However, it can only be used as a discount when leveling up.] 007 said.

Lin Nieran recalled that the rules did indeed state that Performance Points could upgrade the system: "Let me see."

He brought up the card interface, where 14 cards were neatly arranged in three columns, displaying a variety of colors and looking quite vibrant.

The card's Performance Points is very difficult to obtain. Even after so long, Lin Nieran hasn't fully mastered the complete Rules on how to obtain a large amount of Performance Points.

However, some cards appear more frequently and for longer periods, and over time, their Performance Points accumulates to a relatively considerable level.

After Moonlit Night and Night Moon unlocked their backgrounds last time, their Performance Points were almost zero, but now they have accumulated another 20,000 Performance Points.

The Flower Language hasn't been in the public eye lately, so its Performance Points hasn't been significant.

The same goes for the Writer, but he appeared in the Instance "Delusion" and his Performance Points is higher than that of Flower Language ".

Bai Yang has used up all his previous Performance Points, and now he only has a little over 20,000 left.

Other Vest with high Performance Points include Cat Boy, Lai'er, Wu Liang, Gan Tian, and Wang. Their Performance Points are high enough to unlock their backgrounds. After some time, unlock their backgrounds, level them up, and increase their card combat power.

Currently, only the Butler, the Saintess, and Cheng Shanshi have the lowest Performance Points.

"If you calculate it that way, you only need 20,000 Performance Points to level up. That's not bad, not too many." Lin Nieran knew that Performance Points were hard to come by, but two million Fame points were even harder to achieve in a short time.

He asked, "When do you settle your KPIs?"

[One more month! The system upgrade will unlock more abilities and information about this world!] 007 Continues to Tempt.

Lin Nieran n't buying it at all. "Then I'll wait and upgrade you later. I'll take a look at which cards need backgrounds and calculate how much extra Performance Points I'll get."

That night, Cheng Shanshi returned from the Official Base, bringing back a lot of information at once.

During the day, he and the Calamity Crossing Squad went into the Instance together. After a brief discussion, they unanimously agreed that they could accept the side effects of Cheng Shanshi.

The feeling of good luck coming your way is so addictive.

Even knowing that his personality would become difficult to get along with and that he would be plagued by bad luck afterward, none of these were problems for the Calamity Crossing Squad.

Bad luck? Isn't that basic stuff?

Were they ever lucky before Cheng Shanshi was around?

At least we have good luck as a safety net now, so we're not at a loss.

So that evening, the Authorities informed Cheng Shanshi and his group of their next plan and invited him to participate as well.

Upon hearing the news, Cheng Shanshi rushed home to tell Lin Nieran.

At this moment, Lin Nieran was leaning against Rabbit Plush Toy the size of Bai Yang and others, reading a book. Around him were Serlandin, Ji Fengbai, Bai Yang, and Wang, all quietly flipping through books that interested them.

These books were all redeemed by Lin Nieran from the system store; they contain the cultures of various worlds and are quite expensive.

Of the group, only Bai Yang was there to join in the fun. He didn't turn a page of a book for a long time, and every now and then he would manipulate the Doll next to him to jump around on the bookshelf to help the others get, pass and put away books.

After Cheng Shanshi entered, she naturally pulled up a chair and sat down next to Lin Nieran, attracting a lot of secret glances.

The Saintess tilted her head and looked over with a smile. Her long black hair fell to his knees and cascaded down his shoulders like beautiful black silk.

Wang Ze stopped smiling, held the book up to cover the lower half of his face, his eyes were misty, and his expression was unreadable.

The Writer appeared the most composed, steadily holding his book and reading, while the two severed hands behind him were constantly writing something on a piece of paper, seemingly something unpleasant.

Cheng Shanshi, completely oblivious to the change in atmosphere, excitedly shared the news with Lin Nieran: "Mountain Master, they plan to go find the Orphanage Instance in seven days."

"So fast, they seem really in a hurry." Lin Nieran put down her book and looked at the boy who had changed back into his tattered clothes. "Have they chosen their companions yet?"

"Some have been selected, but not yet fully confirmed."

"However, I heard that Luo Jiayu sent them a message. It was about the Energy Conservation, and it seems to be related to their Instance," Cheng Shanshi said. "Once they've resolved this Orphanage Instance, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they'll continue on to Luohai City!"

Wang suddenly interrupted the conversation, "The Chocolate Orphanage is in Cloud City. Cloud City and Luohai City are quite far apart. How do they get there?"

"Let's take a boat and travel by water," Cheng Shanshi, looking at Lin Nieran.

"Waterway..."

Lin Nieran pondered for a moment and said softly, "That is one way. If we travel by water from Zechangcheng, it will only take a week to reach Luohai City. Zechangcheng is not far from Cloud City, and that area is full of Weird Zone, so traveling by water is actually safer."

The Saintess asked in a gentle and mild tone, "Is God Majesty planning to go to the Orphanage Instance?"

Lin Nieran glanced at Lin Yi standing behind him and said helplessly, "Although I really don't want to go, I have no choice; I have to be here."

Lin Yi caught a glimpse of his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Why did you look at me when you were talking? Does it have anything to do with me?"

Just pretend it exists.

After saying this, no matter how Lin Yi asked, Lin Nieran ignored him and turned directly to Cheng Shanshi, saying, "When you go to the Orphanage Instance, find a way to avoid going in with them."

Cheng Shanshi didn't understand, but he simply did as instructed, "Understood, Mountain Master!"

"Also, it would be even better if the Authorities could provide a Bright Side opportunity for me to board the ship."

Cheng Shanshi gave a knowing look. "Don't worry, Mountain Master, I will complete it!"

For the next two days, everything was calm and peaceful.

The public outcry caused by Sheng Qingqiao has subsided considerably thanks to the Authorities closure. The Authorities have also revoked Sheng Qingqiao's status as a Purger and suspended him from his post.

Qin Rang, as the team leader, was mysteriously invaded and punished by being forbidden from leaving the base, forced to reflect on his actions within the Official Base.

Everyone knew that the Authorities punishment of Qin Rang was merely a formality, and that it had no real binding force.

But the Authorities have indeed done everything they were supposed to do; all the necessary procedures and measures have been completed, leaving those who were looking for trouble with nothing to say. In addition, with the Lunar New Year approaching, many people have temporarily settled down to prepare for the holiday.
