"Choice"

Six Player, six blank sheets of paper, six identical questions, and nine different options.

After they retrieved the books, the book on the Four-Sided Table was turned to its end, and the fourth story that was supposed to be told was thus stillborn.

"Based on these options, let me analyze the situation a little... but copying my answer is impossible, don't even think about it."

Seeing that everyone, whether they were speaking or not, was looking in his direction, Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly, and he began to speak.

"The following story... let's call it the final story for now. Judging from options 4, 5, 6, and 7, when we enter the final story, our strength will be limited, there will be no attribute Enhancement, and we won't be able to use Equipment, items, or Skill. Please keep this in mind."

"Like the second story that I, Instant, and Moonlit participated in together before?"

After a slight pause, the Chronicler asked the question.

"In the second story before, we were turned into Trash Can, blackboard erasers, and ping-pong balls, which meant our abilities were limited... Another start as common?"

"Who told you it was common starting out?"

Bai Zhi gave the other person a look as if they were looking at Fool, and then began to speak.

"There's Virtual Gym in the Inner World. Your Strength, Constitution, and agility should all be at their maximum, right? These aren't exactly attribute Enhancement."

"So even if our strength is limited, there's no attribute Enhancement, and we entered with attributes at the human limit?"

The Moonlit Snow, Dark Clouds Part, and he looked thoughtful.

"That's right."

With a slight pursing of his lips, Bai Zhi turned his gaze to the blank sheet of paper in front of him.

"The importance of Base Attributes is undeniable. Strength, Strength, and Constitution —relying solely on Player training would take an unimaginable amount of time to reach human limits. The Virtual Gym provides..."

As he spoke, Bai Zhi subtly glanced at Moonlit Snow, Dark Clouds Part and A Pure Smile, Shy Blushing Cheeks.

Virtual Gym that can quickly boost Player's Base Attributes to the limit—if he wasn't mistaken, it should be a specialty of the world of Moonlit Snow, Dark Clouds Part.

Since the beginning of the Large-scale Campaign Quest, he has gradually developed a general understanding of how the system works.

Although there is only one name for a system, in reality, a system can be divided into many parts: subsystems that exist in each world and are unique to that world, and Main System that exists above all subsystems.

Generally speaking, when Player refer to a system, they are referring to the subsystem of the world they are in.

It is precisely because of this that, depending on the different conditions of each world, each world has its own unique subsystems, thus giving rise to special products unique to each world.

For example, the Puzzle Card in the Puzzle Card World where Tian Huo, as well as the [Game] unique to their world and the [Wild Monster] that spawn periodically.

The stronger the Player, the stronger the world becomes, and the stronger the subsystems belonging to this world become. Similarly, the stronger the subsystems belonging to this world become, the stronger the world becomes, and the stronger the Player themselves become.

The three complement each other.

Some of the Mandatory Quest assigned by the system take place in the user's own world, such as the Mandatory Quest at the Orphanage that Bai Zhi experienced before. Others take place in other worlds, such as the Mandatory Quest at the Tombstone Apartment that Bai Zhi once experienced.

Another part occurs in some unknown and strange places. These strange places are mostly indescribable, belonging to the realm of idealism, such as dreams, paintings, unknowable Void, and so on.

So what is the purpose of Mandatory Quest?

Initially, Bai Zhi's idea was to urge Player to continuously become stronger, with the Sword of Damocles hanging over Player heads, leaving Player no reason to run away and only allowing them to keep moving forward.

As long as we don't stop, the road will keep extending, so...

However, since the start of the Large-scale Campaign Quest and the discovery of the Virtual Gym in the points exchange shop of the Inner World, he has had some new ideas.

For example... plunder.

By Mandatory Quest, they plunder the special products of other worlds to strengthen themselves; Virtual Gym are an example of this.

However, calling it plunder is a bit harsh; perhaps it could be called... mutual assistance and benefit?

After all, since the system sends Player to other worlds to help deal with Anomaly, it's natural that it should also collect some interest in those other worlds.

Sending Player to other worlds to complete missions is a privilege reserved for systems in powerful worlds. Systems in weak, nearly destroyed worlds would struggle to even level up, let alone send Player own Player to other worlds.

If we consider this aspect, the organization of Large-scale Campaign Quest may have a deeper meaning...

However, it was quite obvious that Moonlit Snow, Dark Clouds Part and A Pure Smile, Shy Blushing Cheeks had no idea about anything related to this. After all, given the miserable conditions in their world, they might never have even seen a gym.

"... So, since we're entering this world with attributes at the limit of human potential, you can decide for yourselves whether to choose option four. I'm not planning on choosing it."

"Why?"

Xia Wen seemed slightly puzzled.

"Having twice the Constitution speed and Strength of a human being, if converted into Attribute Point, that's 30 in Strength, 30 in Agility, and 30 in Constitution. Isn't that an incredible bonus?"

"That's just a word trap. Who told you that?"

Bai Zhi rolled his eyes, slightly speechless.

"It's said to be twice the Strength, agility, and Constitution, but it doesn't specify the quantitative Attribute Value. At most, it's probably only around 20 points, or even less. It's just icing on the cake."

"Hmm... I'll choose option four."

He seemed to have glanced at his own Attribute Panel, and after a moment's hesitation, Xia Wen nodded with a bitter face.

Thanks to the previous drug trials, although she and Lin Xiaoyi could only be considered Newbie Player, their Base Attributes shortcomings were somewhat made up for with the help of the Magic Potion that the White-haired loli spared no expense to create.

Even so, their Base Attributes were still far from the maximum, and they didn't have enough extra points to make up for the lack of Base Attributes at the Virtual Gym.

Considering all the above, Xia Wen is almost certain to choose option four.

"That's why I've said it before: you can't just look at what others have done; you have to make your choices based on your own circumstances."

With a slight shrug, Bai Zhi summarized what he had just said.

"The final story is a series of separate individual stories, and there's no one to help you complement them. Blindly copying answers will only harm you."

"Only what suits you best is the best."
