Moderately Disabled Attribute Values

Because he had been hopelessly addicted to gaming, the original Bai Zhi had pitifully few social connections. Still, he had made a few friends online.

These online friends were all veteran gamers he had met while playing games. For example, [Infinite Divine Wings], who had invited him to play earlier, was one of them.

After casually replying with a few messages to prove that he was still alive, Bai Zhi turned all his attention to studying the player system interface.

Like most online game interfaces, this player interface, visible only to him, looked rather simple overall. It was divided into seven sections: [Player Information], [Attribute Panel], [Skill Panel], [Inventory Panel], [Store], [Auction House], and [Quest Log].

The first section was [Player Information]. Once opened, it was absurdly simple.

...

[User Initial Name: Bai Zhi]

[User ID: KM4553※※※※※352]

[Player ID: _____]

[Age: 18]

[Race: Human]

[Level: Lv1]

[Current Experience Points: 50/100]

[Current Game Coins: 0]

...

—There were only these few simple lines.

"Race... Does that mean players' races aren't limited to humans alone?"

Looking at the fourth-to-last line in the player information panel, Bai Zhi wore a thoughtful expression.

"As for Player ID..."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi, who suffered from naming difficulties, simply entered his QQ nickname.

"Black&White."

[No duplicate nickname found. Confirm?]

A line of notification text popped up on the interface before him.

After casually confirming it and officially creating an account in this dangerous game that used the real world as its Game Arena, Bai Zhi opened the Attribute Panel—the section he was most interested in and curious about.

It seemed that every game had an Attribute Panel. Its greatest use was allowing players to understand their general situation at a glance.

Bai Zhi was quite curious about the data-like display of his current body.

Compared to the sparse Player Information panel, the Attribute Panel was clearly much more complicated. It was divided into seven major categories: Strength, Agility, Constitution, Intelligence, Perception, Charisma, and Sanity.

The first three attributes were easy to understand. They were determined by one's muscle strength and neural reflex speed. National-level athletes naturally had much higher values than ordinary people, while homebodies who played games all year round had rather miserable attributes in these areas.

If the first three attributes determined the external, then Intelligence, Perception, and Charisma determined the internal. Intelligence needed no explanation. Perception represented a keen instinct for danger, or the so-called sixth sense. Strictly speaking, the stronger a person's Perception, the more easily they could notice those strange existences.

As for Charisma, it depended purely on appearance, which also needed no explanation. What Bai Zhi found hardest to understand was the final attribute, Sanity. There was no explanation whatsoever regarding Sanity Value in the Attribute Panel.

[Strength: 7]

[Agility: 8]

[Constitution: 6]

[Intelligence: 15]

[Perception: 13]

[Charisma: 15]

[Sanity: ???]

To be honest, Bai Zhi was utterly shocked when he saw these severely lopsided starting attributes.

It would have been one thing if Strength, Agility, and Constitution were all below average, but his Constitution was just one point away from being considered disabled. There was simply no justice in that...

He was not surprised that Intelligence and Charisma were maxed out. Bai Zhi had always believed himself to be a genius, and his Previous Self had been such a super scumbag that he could live off his face alone, dating seven girlfriends in three months. But Perception being 13 made Bai Zhi vaguely understand why two Anomalies had targeted him one after another.

However, he could not make sense of the final attribute, Sanity Value, because it did not show any actual number at all...

When Player Levels were between 1 and 10, each level gained granted one Attribute Point. Between Levels 10 and 20, each level gained granted two Attribute Points. These Attribute Points could be added to any of the major attributes.

However, it was worth mentioning that initial attributes could change. They were dynamically updated in real time. Initial attributes could increase or decrease with a person's exercise and daily habits, but attributes added through Attribute Points were fixed and could not be changed.

This was easy enough to understand. Working out at a gym or running regularly over a long period could improve one's stamina and strength. If one had the determination, it was possible to train Strength, Agility, and Constitution all the way to 15 points. But 15 points represented the human limit achievable through extensive training. To break through that limit, one could only rely on Attribute Points.

"The Attribute Points granted by the system are fixed. In other words, even a disabled person can return to normal using the Attribute Points granted by the system. A Player who reaches Level 10 receives ten Attribute Points. Taking 10 points as the average, a Level 10 Player has already surpassed humanity..."

As he silently calculated these things, Bai Zhi inexplicably felt a hint of urgency.

Between Lv1 and Lv10, Players received one Free Attribute Point every time they leveled up. Even a Player like him, whose Constitution was moderately disabled, would have enough Attribute Points after reaching Lv10 to bring his physical capabilities and Constitution to the peak of humanity.

Lv10 was already like this, so what about Lv20? From Lv10 to Lv20 alone, Players could gain 20 Attribute Points according to the rules. The game had already begun three months ago, and Bai Zhi believed that the highest-level Players were definitely above Lv10. Among the billions of people, just how many One Punch Mans and Sweeping Monks were hidden?

"I wonder what Levels those three Official Personnel were..."

Recalling Wu Hua's punch that had sent the little boy flying and instantly stripped him of all ability to move, Bai Zhi once again felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Despite the existence of so many high-level Players, supernatural Anomaly Incidents continued to erupt all over the world without end. Humanity still remained in a passive defensive state, while those unsolvable supernatural Anomaly Incidents continued to increase slowly yet steadily over time...

The danger of this world was far greater than he had imagined.
