Foshan, modern times, Ip Man?
"About three days later, a guy named Jin Shanzhao challenged various martial arts schools in Foshan. Brother, you don't know, Jin Shanzhao was incredibly powerful; he almost defeated all the masters of the martial arts schools."
Ling Shan'er seemed very excited, after all, everything she saw in the new world was full of novelty for her.
"I understand. Listen carefully to what I have to say. In a moment, you will enter the instance world again, find someone named Ip Man, and become his disciple."
" Ip Man, I know him. I've read the newspapers from that world; there was news about his battle against the Western boxer Twister," Ling Shan'er said.
"Yes, it's Ip Man. You could try using your Telekinesis abilities on Ip Man; I believe he'd be interested."
" Ip Man, is he the Protagonist?" Ling Shan'er asked. She felt that Jin Shanzhao was the Protagonist.
"Yes, Ip Man is the Protagonist of the story. As long as you successfully become his disciple, you'll have achieved F-level participation in the story. By the way, what level has your Telekinesis reached?"
"I can control about Wu Bai."
"Okay, that's good. In that case, when the Western boxing match storyline comes up, you can try to replace Ip Man in the fight against Twister and defeat him. Your involvement in the storyline should increase significantly."
Ling Shan'er didn't ask Ling Yi how he knew these things.
She was smart enough to sense that Ling Yi had a secret, and she also knew that if Ling Yi was willing to tell her, he would never hide it from her.
Ling Yi's silence must stem from some reservations.
Ling Yi gave them a long series of instructions before the two finally ended the video call.
Another half month passed, and Ling Shan'er achieved an A-level participation rate in the storyline, earning 10,000 points. She won three lottery draws and drew Wing Chun at the An Jin level, which permanently increased her stamina by 10 and her Divine Power by 5.
The reward is quite generous.
At this point, Ling Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer worried about Ling Shan'er being trapped in the Sand House Space.
The two returned to the real world and had a good day of relaxation.
Afterwards, Ling Yi told Ling Shan'er to use up the remaining dungeon attempts before going to dig for new dungeons.
Ling Yi also has no intention of exploring the next instance.
We've entered the Chronicle instance world again.
He needs to figure out what exactly is the mechanism for judging this level of participation in the plot.
Upon entering the Chronicle instance world for the second time, Ling Yi kidnapped the three Protagonist right from the start and imprisoned them in a basement for a month.
After the instance ended, the system notified that the player's participation in the story was zero.
Clearly, the system does not approve of this method of altering the plot.
In the final episode of Chronicle, Ling Yi transforms into a guide, Hua Wei an active role.
They helped Andrew resolve his family problems.
They helped his father find a decent job and helped Andrew adjust his mindset.
They saved Steve, who was supposed to die in the main storyline.
At the same time, the three who were originally doing nothing were transformed into three superheroes.
It completely changed the fate of the three people.
After Ling Yi left the Chronicle instance world.
The system notification made Ling Yi chuckle.
System notification: Congratulations to player Ling Yi for achieving SS/ S Grade in the story participation of the " Chronicle " dungeon world.
"System notification: Player Ling Yi's story participation has reached SS/ S Grade. A world announcement is about to be made. Would you like to hide your name?"
"Hide!" To stand out at a time like this is practically to make an enemy of the entire world.
Everyone's still figuring things out, and you've already done something Transcendent God. Who wouldn't be tempted?
When that time comes, all sorts of forces will come after you, and they'll use every trick in the book, both legitimate and illegitimate, against you.
You either obediently admit defeat and become someone else's employee, or... you become an enemy of everyone.
World Announcement: Congratulations to player [player's name] for achieving SS S Grade in story participation in the " Chronicle " dungeon. This announcement is hereby made.
World announcement, repeated three times in a row.
Whether in the instance world or in the Sand House Space, the system announcement sounded Central City everyone's mind.
After a few seconds of silence, the whole world erupted in excitement.
In the Chat Channel, messages were flooding in like a waterfall.
"Oh my god, SS -S Grade! I just barely passed rank F after all this hard work. Who is this Big Shot? Please reveal their identity, I want to be their follower."
"Which country is it from? Is it from our Ancient Country?"
"I just want to know, what are the rewards for SS S Grade participation? The highest level currently, A, only offers three draws and 10,000 points."
"You guys should check out the Battle Power rankings, they're terrifying."
"Wasn't the Battle Power ranking only launched yesterday?"
"210? That must be a bug! How could it be so high? The second place only has 60 points. How can a nobody like me with only 6 Battle Power points stand up to that?"
"Looking at the region suffix, both the first and second place are from our Ancient Country."
" Ancient Country, rise up!"
"The top spot is definitely held by an SS- S Grade Big Shot, but who's second?"
Are they all this low-key?
"The Chronicle dungeon? The Big Shot and I found the same dungeon! Can someone please give me a guide?"
I'd also like to know the walkthrough.
"Shouldn't the strategy be made public? It would benefit everyone. This person is a bit selfish."
"Is the person upstairs trying to morally blackmail you? If it were you, would you go public? If the Big Shot goes public now, do you know what the consequences would be? You're brainless."
"Shouldn't it be made public? One shouldn't be so selfish."
"Why should it be made public? If you're so capable, go and do it yourself."
The Chat Channel went completely off-topic and started arguing, which escalated quickly. Of course, it's also possible that someone was stirring things up.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, hadn't even looked at the Chat Channel; he was happily waiting for the system reward.
"System notification: Player Ling Yi has achieved SS S Grade participation in the dungeon storyline, rewarding 150,000 points. Since Ling Yi is the first player to reach SS S Grade participation, the reward is doubled."
300,000 points credited, awesome!
"System notification: Player Ling Yi has achieved SS S Grade participation in the dungeon storyline, and is rewarded with 10 chances to draw a prize. As player Ling Yi is the first player to achieve SS S Grade participation, the reward is doubled."
And then, that was it.
Does story engagement only reward points and lottery chances?
Ling Yi didn't rush to use his points or participate in the lottery. Instead, he forced himself to calm down and think about why he had achieved an SS -S Grade participation rate.
Changing the plot is a factor in achieving Gao Can, but it's not the only one.
Actively guiding the narrative and taking a dominant role throughout the entire storyline is the key factor.
The first time, Ling Yi was just following the Protagonist through the plot, so his involvement wasn't very high.
The second time, the Protagonist was locked up, causing the plot to fall apart right from the start, resulting in zero participation.
Therefore, the Protagonist in the dungeon world must participate in the storyline, but the player must be the one in control.
Having figured this out, Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh. Once he knew the basic rules, he would know how to cause trouble in the future.
However, Ling Yi then frowned slightly.
Three dungeons, taking a total of three months.
The real-world time is synchronized with the instance world time, which is a huge waste of time.
The cabin must be upgraded to level 5 as soon as possible.
Ling Yi released the wooden house and immediately clicked the upgrade button.
The dilapidated wooden house is in its initial state, which is level 0.
The ordinary wooden house is in an advanced stage, at level 1.
Consuming 10,000 points, the ordinary wooden house was upgraded to level 2, becoming a two-story attic.
Add Shop Function.
However, the mall appeared to be completely empty.
There are only three items.
Superpower Crystal: Worth 100 million points.
Ling Yi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; this was way too damn expensive!
But thinking about it the other way around, doesn't that mean I got 100 million points right from the start?
Team Teleport Array: Worth 100,000 points, it allows team members to Teleport back and forth between themselves and the team leader's sand house. Each Teleport requires a certain number of points.
This is a great product, but it's a bit pricey.
Ling Yi didn't redeem it directly, and it wouldn't be of any use now.
You need to reach level 5 in the wooden house to create a team. Now that I've redeemed it, Shan'er can't Teleport over.
This thing is only for team members, after all.
Basic Time Adjustment Scroll: Worth 100,000 points, allows you to adjust the time ratio between the real world and the instance world between 1 and 100.
This is the real good stuff.
If Ling Yi had this item before, he could have completed the three dungeons in just two and a half days. He could have completed more dungeons and obtained more rewards in the same amount of time.
While others might take months or even years to complete a single instance, with this scroll, Ling Yi can finish it in ten days, which is equivalent to receiving a hundred times more rewards than others.
Of course, this is on the premise of completing the most basic level of story participation; without rewards, no matter how many times you multiply, it's all for nothing.
Without a second thought, Ling Yi bought one.
Continue upgrading the cabin; it should now be called an attic, or perhaps "campus" would be a more appropriate term.
Consuming 40,000 points, the residence was upgraded to level 3, and the attic was transformed into a villa. It is a three-story villa with a modern style, equipped with the Fridge, air conditioner, kitchen, bathroom, gym, and swimming pool.
New features have been added, integrating the Sea of Consciousness, achieving complete binding, and allowing the user to bring the user into dungeons.
The last one is an extra reward for being the first player to upgrade their base to level 3; other players cannot bring their base into the dungeon.
Added a new feature: the ability to adjust the time ratio between the real world and the instance world. 10,000 points, 10x adjustment; 100,000 points, 100x adjustment; 1 million points, 1,000x adjustment; 10 million points, 10,000x adjustment, and so on.
In the early stages, it's more cost-effective to use Time Adjustment Scroll.
After all, the Time Adjustment Scroll can be more precise, for example, it can be adjusted to 1:50 or 1:60, while the time adjustment function at the base cannot achieve such precision.
I checked and found I had 135,090 points left.
Ling Yi upgraded the base again...
