Player Ratings and the Land of Inheritance

After pondering for a moment, Bai Zhi tore a piece of paper from his Notebook and wrote down the information of all the helpers he had planned to find.

He can never have too many helpers, or rather, the more the better. However, those who are not strong enough are not even worth considering.

Purple-haired Young Girl, Fuzi, the March-shi and the Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas, Dead Zero, Fireworks of Romance, Ink-Stained Crystal... This is the first list of helpers he has compiled.

Of course, the idea for that plan is currently just a draft.

After all, his current strength is still too weak and his Level is too low, so his current goal is to improve his strength.

However, before that, information gathering regarding the situation in the Core Zone must also be put on the agenda.

"[The Domain of Delirium]? Why are you suddenly interested in that again?"

Seeing Bai Zhi peeking out from the balcony, Tian Huo, who was sitting in the living room reading, couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"How about we focus on the key points?"

"... Actually, I already told you what I knew before."

After a moment of silence, Tian Huo replied.

"[The Domain of Delirium] was originally called [The Domain of Hope]. Its initial purpose was to create a world where common could live peacefully, free from the invasion of supernatural Anomaly. This plan was called [Genesis]."

"But it failed later. What was the reason?"

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"... Do you think I would know such top-secret information? What I know now, I only found out from my Master by pestering her."

Tian Huo was speechless.

"In short, [Genesis] failed, and the original [Domain of Hope] has become the [Domain of Delirium]. That's it, I don't know much more."

"How much information do you know about the Core Zone?"

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi asked another question.

"Or have you ever been there?"

"If I had been there, I would be dead by now... That kind of place is extremely dangerous; common wouldn't even survive half an hour there."

Seemingly somewhat speechless, Tian Huo suddenly spoke after a moment's thought.

"By the way, I once overheard my Master mentioning that the most important thing in the Core Zone is that Legendary -Level Puzzle Card. I heard that the Puzzle Card is about to break through the Legendary level and reach the Mythic Level."

"Myth?"

"Ruined, common, Rare, Elite, Perfect, Epic, Legendary —this is the Level classification currently known to all Player... Above Legendary is Myth."

Tian Huo closed the book in his hand and began to explain.

"The Quality of Skill, Equipment, and items is all divided according to this Level. Epic Level can already be considered top-tier, Legendary ethereal and elusive, and Myth level is even more unattainable."

"And what about Player ratings?"

Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You mentioned before that in your world, to become Patrol Envoy, Player's rating must be at least Perfect Grade?"

"After reaching Level 25, Player can spend a certain amount of Game Coins to obtain a comprehensive evaluation of their current strength from the system. The Player rating system also follows this Level classification."

When talking about this, Tian Huo's mood was noticeably somewhat somber.

"My rating in the system isn't even Elite Level, and the minimum requirement to Patrol Envoy Reserve inspector is Elite Level... As for my Master, she's reached Epic rating."

"Is that so? Then, in that case, Fuzi's rating should only be Perfect Grade..."

Bai Zhi reached up and touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

"Only the Perfect Grade... the Perfect Rating is very difficult to achieve."

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, Tian Huo spoke.

"Perfect Rating isn't something you can achieve simply by mastering a few Perfect Skill or possessing a few Perfect Grade items or Equipment. It's a comprehensive evaluation of your strength by the system. I've seen Player who have mastered Perfect Skill, yet their rating in the system is only 'Rare'."

"You don't understand... Never mind, considering her situation, this rating is actually quite reasonable. Maybe she doesn't even have Perfect Rating yet."

Bai Zhi smiled slightly and shook his head slightly.

"Let's get back to the main point. In your Core Zone, the most important Item is a Puzzle Card that's almost reached Mythic Level, right?"

"That's right, that's what my Master said."

Tian Huo nodded.

"It is precisely because of the existence of that Puzzle Card that the Core Zone has remained peaceful for decades."

"Understood, you can continue reading your book."

Bai Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, then he nodded.

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me... What's wrong? Just ask me anything."

"Your world is very powerful."

Tian Huo held up the book in his hand with a solemn expression.

"When your world was at its peak, it even produced more than one being of Mythic Rank."

"... Put down the Classic of Mountains and Seas of Mountains and Seas in your hand first."

"I'm telling the truth. Every world is invaded by Anomaly; the only difference is when it happens. But I've never seen a world that has truly repelled the invasion of Anomaly."

Tian Huo put down the Classic of Mountains and Seas of Mountains and Seas and spoke earnestly.

"Although for some unknown reason, not only did all those who once stood at the pinnacle of your world disappear, they definitely left behind their legacy in this world."

"... I ask you, how many worlds have you seen so far?"

"Three."

"Isn't that settled?"

Bai Zhi rolled his eyes, slightly speechless.

"How do you know if there aren't even more powerful worlds? Maybe one world will even achieve complete victory? Instead of wasting time lamenting these things, you should think more about where those who disappeared went."

With a slight pout, Bai Zhi sat back down on the recliner.

He already knew what Tian Huo had said earlier. Leaving aside the conversation where Chu Ci personally invited him to join the Night Watcher, he himself had already visited the so-called Land of Inheritance... or something like that?

As he experienced more and more things, Bai Zhi was now fairly certain that the Hell Town he had traveled to on the [Hell Bus] was the Land of Inheritance left behind by those Top Player.

Regarding the Inheritor... perhaps we can get some information from [Dead Zero]?

Just as Bai Zhi was pondering this, his phone suddenly rang.

Slightly puzzled, Bai Zhi picked up his phone and glanced at it before answering the call. As soon as the call connected, an impatient voice came from the other end.

He had once asked someone to find information about Lin He's sister, and finally, he got some leads.
