The Trouble With Exploiting Bugs: A Wild Dash Forward!

Empty 2086 and two others were chatting.

Before they knew it, they had quickly arrived at a sea area six thousand miles away.

It's important to know that Gao Linzhi only got here because of his many advantages, plus the money he spent on in-game purchases.

The fact that the opponent reached this point through meticulously developed game characters and effective game strategies demonstrates that they indeed possess a unique skill set.

As expected of a high-level player in the official group.

"Alright, once we break through these six thousand miles, we'll be able to steal it successfully!"

"That's not right, how come you only have 210,000 points, while the other person also has 6,000 points but has 280,000?"

"Of course! They were the first to break through, so they get extra points!"

"This is not fair!"

"Stop talking. Otherwise, why would I have started exerting my strength at noon? It was to prepare for this situation. Otherwise, I would have had enough time to exert my strength in the evening." Empty 2086 was not surprised.

But there was enough time.

There's still half a day left.

Just when he thought he could break through six thousand miles in one go, he suddenly encountered a flock of birds as well.

If Gao Linzhi at that moment, he would have noticed that the flock of birds was the same as the ones he had encountered.

These birds, with their Blue Feather Iron Claw, are swift, powerful, and extremely formidable.

Moreover, this time, they also demonstrated extraordinary perception abilities.

Although they couldn't see Empty 2086 or his airship, they had a strange feeling.

They kept circling around him.

They just won't leave.

The entire airship was surrounded by a dense swarm of birds.

Empty 2086 felt a little nervous.

"What's going on? How can these birds spot you?" one person asked, puzzled.

"What do we do now?" another person asked worriedly.

"These damn creatures, their sense of smell is amazing."

"Although I tried my best to remain invisible and eliminate the smell, the friction between my airship and the air inevitably revealed some human scent."

"These birds have an amazing sense of smell."

"It can detect even a fraction of a odor, even one part in a billion."

"That's why they're lingering." Empty 2086 quickly analyzed the reason.

"Wait a minute, I find this very strange. On the vast, boundless sea, there's nothing at all, no living creatures, and hardly any fish." The two puppets began to discuss.

What do these birds eat to survive?

"They naturally live by relying on Mysterious Energy."

"After all, this isn't Blue Star; it doesn't follow the laws of nature."

"In that case, could we start with the Mysterious Energy and lure them away? If we continue like this, you'll be exposed sooner or later."

Empty 2086 nodded, "That's the truth."

Putting everything else aside, the airship was already slowed down by the crowds of birds around it.

Surpassing the record for Canxue is very difficult.

Because he needs to break the 6,000-mile mark, he needs to run a few hundred more miles to get more record-breaking points.

"Forget it, getting second place is fine, or maybe we should just give up?" one of the puppets advised.

"I think so too. Second place is good too, especially since you're number one on the Island Ranking."

Empty 2086 shook his head and said, "You're wrong. The number one on the overall ranking has 100 Free Attribute Points."

"You might not know this, but the next event is a damage-based leaderboard."

"Damage-related? What kind of ranking would that be?"

Empty 2086 explained, "It's similar to running a dungeon. After entering, you fight bosses and the damage score is tallied."

"But if that's the case, some people are very strong, so wouldn't they be able to keep fighting and get very high damage scores?"

"Of course, there will be a limit to the number of attacks. For example, against a single boss, you can only attack once, or use one move at a time, and you can't attack the same boss consecutively."

"This is actually designed to incentivize players to increase their damage output."

"There are events like this?"

"Of course there will be more and more activities in the future. These two activities are just appetizers," Empty 2086 said, shaking his head.

"I understand, so you have to make sure you don't fall behind them from the very beginning."

"Yes, that's why these Free Attribute Points are so important," Empty 2086 continued to explain.

"With higher attribute points, you can learn higher-level skills and deal significantly more damage."

"The more damage you deal, the more points you get; the more points you have, the more items you can exchange for."

"That way, we can snowball and become stronger."

The two puppets suddenly realized what was going on.

"I see, no wonder you were willing to take the risk."

"Careful!"

"Something terrible has happened!"

One of the birds seemed to be getting agitated.

It suddenly began spewing out large balls of flame.

It's actually just like when a person is irritable, they want to spit a few times.

This triggered a chain reaction.

Other birds also began to breathe fire.

They seem to be planning to roast a live person alive.

Empty 2086 isn't stupid either.

He realized this very early on.

He immediately activated his dodge skill.

However, the result was that he simply dodged to the side.

His airship, along with two puppets remotely controlled by his friends, were destroyed.

His sudden movement alerted the flock of birds to the airship's location.

The birds suddenly swooped down fiercely.

In just a few breaths, the expensive airship, which had been acquired after numerous missions, was destroyed.

The two expensive remote-controlled puppets were also lost.

Fortunately, their losses weren't in vain; at least they attracted the birds.

He then seized the opportunity to continue his breakthrough from the sea.

Before long, he broke through 6,000 li.

He then took out a small boat and set off across the sea.

He carefully avoided the Giant Whale, the Strange Shark, and the Fish Demon...

He continued forward.

He quickly reached 6400 miles.

At this point, his score had reached 250,000!

It was only 30,000 points Gao Linzhi's 280,000 points.

There still seems to be a long way to go, but given the opponent's momentum, a successful surprise attack seems almost guaranteed.

At this very moment.

Gao Linzhi.

"Indeed, the world is vast, and there are far too many heroes."

It now seems that if he relies solely on Basic Skills, along with some intermediate and Advanced Skill to boost his attributes, he is indeed not as good as these Level Profession on some rankings.

Most importantly, his skills are not systematic and cannot form a synergistic or complementary ability.

A systematic approach, where each element complements the others, is something that every game profession highly values.

If you're a tank and you don't increase your health and defense, or invest in the corresponding skills, but instead focus on skills related to agility and evasion, then you're clearly not up to par.

Gao Linzhi is unable to change jobs because he is stuck at a certain level.

Therefore, he had no way to change jobs and acquire a complete skill set through normal game channels.

It must rely on transactions.

Transactions are uncertain.

It might happen today, but it might not happen tomorrow.

Today it's this skill, tomorrow it'll be that other skill.

Gao Linzhi, on the other hand, created a large number of unrelated Basic Skills to improve basic attributes.

This is inevitable.

Because he needs too many skills, it's impossible to rely on just one profession to provide them.

As a result, it becomes too diverse and lacks specialization.

This is the same as reality.

Mastering one skill will earn you more money than knowing dozens of skills at the same time.

The only way to break this is to improve one's own strengths.

What are Gao Linzhi's special skills now?

Naturally, it has higher base stats compared to other players, and theoretically unlimited skill slots!

As for resurrection, the resurrection ability is very powerful, but it cannot directly provide combat power.

With this in mind, Gao Linzhi decided to intensify his efforts to collect various skills.

Ideally, one should be able to develop a set of professional skills.

In this way, even at level 1, he can unlock some of the class's abilities.

He wants to keep throwing money at it.

If you can't outmaneuver your opponent with a strategy, then don't play it.

Just spend real money.

Pay-to-win is the way to go!

Then, Gao Linzhi himself also cast Flight Spell.

There are still a few hours left.

He needs to sail further; he can't let this kid surpass him.

That would be embarrassing.

A dignified Noble 23 had his top spot stolen by a player with a low-level character.

That will be ridiculed for a long time.

This is the pressure of being a social media influencer—too many people are watching you.

If you're even slightly rubbish, a bunch of people will start criticizing you.

An Ordinary Player doesn't have this problem; nobody cares about an Ordinary Player's wins or losses.

Gao Linzhi once again arrived at the sea surface, 6,000 li away.

The opponent has already broken through to 6000 li.

From this perspective, Empty 2086, who stole the rankings, has actually succeeded.

It's just that the score hasn't surpassed it yet.

Gao Linzhi certainly couldn't let the other side succeed.

He moved forward again.

Not long after, a bizarrely colored, multicolored Giant Octopus suddenly emerged from the sea.

Its size is astonishing; its body, including its claws, is over a thousand meters long!

Yes, not ten meters, not a hundred meters, it went straight to a kilometer!

On Blue Star, only plants and fungi can achieve this length of organism.

After the octopus appeared, it attacked Gao Linzhi's Treasure Ship.

Eight claws slashed fiercely at the deck.

It's like they're about to drag Gao Linzhi into the deep sea.

Compared to those birds, this octopus is definitely a giant.

Gao Linzhi's automatic combat ability was not very effective.

Because the opponent has high defense, high health, and fast recovery.

Even if you hit the weak point, it's useless.

The opponent lost some health, but it quickly recovered to full.

This is the monster from six thousand miles away.

It comes with various buffs and can be immune to many types of attacks.

Not only that, but after this octopus, there were others joining in the fun.

One after another, octopuses emerged from beneath the sea surface.

They are also thousands of meters long.

This is life that is completely invisible on Blue Star.

They completely violate normal physiological mechanisms.

The only reason it could grow to this size is due to the Mysterious Energy of the Skyfall World.

As soon as they appeared, they waved their tentacles and attacked Gao Linzhi's Treasure Ship.

Gao Linzhi tried to avoid them and continued forward.

Unfortunately, they attacked from all sides.

It's impossible to avoid.

These octopuses did nothing but fight and besiege his Treasure Ship.

It's like a bunch of middle-aged men trying to kill ants.

How incredibly boring!

Gao Linzhi was speechless.

He then began to fight the octopuses.

Clearly, they can't move forward without defeating these octopuses.

Fortunately, the other team also encountered a plateau in their score.

Clearly, the further you go, the stronger the monsters become.

The monster's anti-submarine capabilities will also increase.

It's impossible to clear the game entirely by relying on stealth-based skills.

High-level monsters have anti-invisibility abilities to prevent players from killing them by using invisibility.

And so, Gao Linzhi fought against a bunch of giant octopuses for a full hour.

That's how I barely managed to pass the level.

Actually, the octopuses ate Gao Linzhi hundreds of times, but found the taste wasn't very good, so they gave up.

Gao Linzhi was resurrected again, much to everyone's dismay.

He continued on his journey and arrived at a place 6,500 li away.

He encountered a new monster.

This is a large group of Black Sea Snake.

Clumps upon clumps, densely packed, each hundreds of meters long, intertwined, forming a vast monster trap.

Just looking at it makes my scalp tingle and gives me goosebumps all over.

It could absolutely drive someone with trypophobia crazy!

Most people wouldn't believe that so many long snakes could exist.

If someone else were to come, how would they get through these black snake formations?

Want to take a detour?

That's impossible, because those sea serpents would relentlessly pursue it.

Upon seeing Gao Linzhi's ship, they hurriedly gave chase, swarmed it, and began a fierce battle...

Gao Linzhi used a lot of game items, and both of his pets died twice.

This has indeed increased the difficulty dramatically.

If you don't use some tricks, you probably won't be able to break through at all.

Gao Linzhi suddenly thought of a plan.

That means exploiting your own Revival Bug again.

Because of a game mechanic, to prevent being camped by other players, you can choose to respawn in a location you've been to each time you die.

The places you say you've been to are not necessarily the places you've actually walked.

You've been to any place you've personally seen with your own eyes.

This is easy to understand and makes perfect sense.

Just because you've been to a city doesn't mean you've explored the entire city on foot!

You can say you've been to any place you've seen with your own eyes.

So Gao Linzhi exploited this game's Revival Bug.

Moreover, he believes that the game developers cannot fix this bug.

Because it directly relates to the underlying game mechanics—the resurrection mechanism.

However, this results in a higher cost for the membership Skyfall Stone.

However, Gao Linzhi is only level 1 and doesn't seem to care about wasting his time.

So he gave up the fight.

It's a series of deaths and resurrections in the distance.

After being resurrected, he died again.

Of course, before each death, you can take out a small boat from your Game Backpack to show that you are sailing...

Thus, every time Gao Linzhi was resurrected, he would appear on the sea more than ten miles away.

In this way, however many times those monsters killed Gao Linzhi, it's equivalent to how many times he Teleportation...

Gao Linzhi himself hadn't expected that he could exploit such a bug.

If this gets out, it's incredibly shameless.

Teleportation is achieved through resurrection...

Of course, only Gao Linzhi could use this method.

Even if others have resurrection abilities, resurrection talents, or Revival Stone, because they are at a higher level, they have to wait a long cooldown time to resurrect.

At higher levels, dying once often means waiting several months to resurrect.

However, Gao Linzhi can instantly revive by spending Skyfall Stone.

Only after Gao Linzhi is resurrected can he immediately use the Skyfall Stone to clear the Resurrection Cooldown and be resurrected again.
