What Players Should Know
"Snap!"
With the sound of the door opening, the security door, which hadn't been touched for three days, was opened from the outside, and a man who called himself KP walked briskly into the hall.
Seemingly already aware of what had happened over the past three days, he wasn't surprised that only Feng Xue and the Student Kid remained. Instead, he maintained his annoyingly professional smile and said:
"Congratulations on successfully completing the Newcomer Quest. From today onwards, you are both official players of the Supernatural Game. Next, I will explain your rights and obligations as players. Before that, do you have any questions?"
Having already learned the relevant information from the Student Kid, Feng Xue and the Student Kid shook their heads together. Seeing this, KP reached out and swiped casually, as if sliding Smart Phone touchscreen, and an interface appeared in front of him—
"Please remember this action. From now on, you can use the same action to open your personal page and view information about the current world and details of optional/ Mandatory Quest. Of course, this is just a demonstration; you are free to choose whether to share your panel with others."
Feng Xue imitated KP's actions and swiped casually, and a page appeared in his field of vision. The UI of the page was quite simple, with only the game start countdown, Optional Quest, Mandatory Quest, game information, and a circular button made up of three buttons.
Seeing that the two had tried to access their control panel, KP continued:
"As you both can see, the game countdown means the final time limit for the next game. Of course, you can choose to enter the game at any time before the time limit is reached;
"Mandatory Quest are tasks that must be completed in every game; only by completing these tasks can you pass the game."
"Optional Quest are a challenge to yourself. They exist not only in the game, but also in the Real World from time to time. Please accept Optional Quest according to your own strength."
"As for the last three buttons, they are actually teleportation buttons. Green means returning to reality, blue means going to the player communication platform, and red means entering the game. However, these three buttons are locked during the game. The teleportation buttons can only be unlocked after completing the Mandatory Quest."
"You can enter the game anytime, anywhere via the Red Button, or you can freely choose the game to start through the Player Platform's display board. Of course, there's really no difference between the two."
"Alright, that's all I wanted to say. Do you two have any further questions?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xue politely raised her hand. Seeing this, KP maintained his smile and said:
"Excuse me, player, what's the problem?"
"I want to know the purpose of the game and the rewards I can get by playing it."
Feng Xue's question was perfectly normal, so normal that even the KP was a little surprised. After all, under normal circumstances, it would be fine if everyone was alive, but in cases where only one or two players were left, they were usually experts who knew the game well. It was hard to imagine that someone would ask such a basic question.
However, out of professional ethics, after a brief pause, he began to explain:
"There are countless paranormal events in this world, and the purpose of this game is to select those who can handle these events, allowing them to resolve dangerous incidents. As for what they can gain—it's an elevation of their life level."
Hearing such a nonsensical response, even a dog wouldn't believe it, Feng Xue didn't show any particular emotion. Instead, after a thoughtful expression, she pressed on with another question:
"Are there different levels of advancement in life form? For example, level one of Ghost Power, level three of Insect Power, and so on?"
Upon hearing this question, KP looked somewhat troubled and said:
"Unfortunately, there are no two ghosts or insects in this world that are the same. Every player's abilities are unique, so it is impossible to classify them into corresponding levels. If we have to give an evaluation, then we can only classify them according to their game level."
"There are four levels in the Supernatural Game: Wandering Souls, Vengeful Spirit, Vengeful Ghost, and Ominous God. Players who can complete the game at their corresponding level are considered players of that level. Do you have any further questions?"
"That's all." Seeing that what the Student Kid said was about right, Feng Xue shook her head. KP looked at the Student Kid again and, finding that he didn't seem to have any questions, stood up, bowed respectfully, and then turned and walked out of the door he had come from.
As the Room Door closed, a brief silence fell over the Living Room once more. After a moment, Feng Xue finally spoke, asking:
What did he mean by saying that there's no difference between Player Platform and randomly getting a game?
Seemingly anticipating Feng Xue's question, the Student Kid answered without much thought:
"In Supernatural Game, aside from the beginner's assessment, each game is unique. Time flows within the game, and you can leave after completing the Mandatory Quest. However, if you can completely complete the game, it ends. Therefore, easy games are impossible to play, while difficult games are inherently extremely dangerous. Moreover, with each incomplete playthrough, the supernatural elements become increasingly powerful, making random selection less effective. Thus, the games listed on Player Platform are basically over-exploited and unplayable, like hot potatoes. Only complete beginners and experienced players with specific supernatural abilities attempt to play them."
"I knew it." Feng Xue nodded as he listened to the Student Kid's explanation. He had already discovered that the so-called teleportation in this game was not the multi-dimensional teleportation like in Infinite City, but rather teleportation within a single world. Coupled with the settings that supernatural beings grow stronger and dungeons become more powerful, these games undoubtedly represent supernatural phenomena that truly exist in this world.
From this perspective, KP's previous statement wasn't entirely wrong.
This game is indeed designed to screen out people who can deal with paranormal events and achieve a leap in their level of existence.
The only problem is that this leap will most likely occur after death.
Yes, Feng Xue suspected that the purpose of this game was actually to cultivate super players who could exist in the form of Acquired Supernatural Tale after death, and such players would undoubtedly be the best resurrection vessel for the deceased predecessor in this world.
"But this game seems to have been around for quite a while, why haven't I leveled it up yet? Could there be a problem somewhere?"
Feng Xue was somewhat surprised that such an ingenious resurrection plan failed to work, which only increased her curiosity about the game.
Without further delay, he stood up and said to the Student Kid:
"Let's go check out the Player Platform."
