As a player, can you be normal?

Chapter 9 Probabilistic Systems
In order to verify whether he was really recovered, Li Nuo decided to go to the hospital.

After going out and going downstairs, Li Nuo realized that he had subconsciously taken out his crutches.

"...occupational disease."

This is like the first time I am bathing in the sunshine with a healthy body.

The feeling didn't surprise him much, he could only say...that's how it was.

He laughed at himself and walked towards the gate of the community, pretending to be a sick cripple along the way, trying not to attract attention to his existence.

There must be a large number of players in the "Endless Corridor", and the competition between them must be fierce.

Just like the task of screening newcomers, the best and most trouble-free way to break a level is to first cripple a fellow player, find an opportunity to get the password strip, and then use the crippled player as bait when the monsters come after them. He ran towards the door.

Killing and deception are the essence.

Even though the "recording" said that players couldn't hurt each other in reality, there was nothing wrong with being careful, after all, he was too conspicuous.

Therefore, Li Nuo did not plan to go to the familiar Cairo Hospital, but instead took the subway to a private hospital in the suburbs.

With the help of crutches, he found a seat within a stop of the bus.

The subway is bumpy.

Li Nuo sat upright, holding his mobile phone.

He thought that if his illness was really cured, he would have to put finding a serious job into his short-term future plans.

Open several recruitment websites and enter "Cowherd", "Duck", and "Young Master" in the search bar.

A few minutes later, he controlled his desire to throw the phone on the ground: "...You have to graduate from college to sell your ass these days."

Li Nuo dropped out of school due to physical reasons in his second year of high school and still has a junior high school diploma.

In today's era, finding an adult with only a junior high school education in a big city is comparable to finding a mother-in-law at a blind date corner who doesn't want a bride price, and is only slightly higher than the probability of the national football team winning a game.

So every time someone asked Li Nuo which university he graduated from, he would give them a look of contempt.

"For work, I have to get a notebook."

With this in mind, he opened WeChat and started looking for suppliers selling fake certificates.

Other people’s WeChat friends cannot escape “classmates”, “colleagues”, “family members” and “lovers”.

Li Nuo was unable to go out due to poor health, so he had 266 WeChat friends all over the world, ranging from sellers of fake certificates to resellers of low-quality banned weapons, from kidney fraud dealers in Southeast Asia to mercenary brokers in the Far East.

He is used to doing homework and preparation before doing things.

These 266 people not only provided him with various convenient items to facilitate his life, but also had a far-reaching effect.

If there is ever a day of poverty, if some of these 266 people are gathered together, the police are called and an AOE group attacks, you can also get a large amount of reporting fees.

At this time, a group chat message popped up on the screen. It was the group of his junior high school class. He was familiar with the names in it, but no one was familiar with him.

Withdraw from the group.

The moment Li Nuo left the group, a message popped up in the group:
"Have you heard about the cult serial murder case abroad?"

[Realistic plot mission has been triggered]

【detective】

[Type: Intellectual Competition]

[This mission is located in "Cairo Game World". There are 4 players participating. 2 people have signed up now. The mission will start in 1 hour]

[Registration fee: 100 gold coins]

[Do you want to participate in this mission? 】

Li Nuo could only hear the sound of the system, but could not see the prompts on the panel.

He didn't know whether to do this task or not.

You need to go back to the "Endless Corridor" to check for clear information first.

At this time, an old woman walked in front of him, and Li Nuo just raised his head.

I don’t know whether it was a psychological effect or some other reason, but at this moment, the old woman and the surrounding scene seemed to have turned into a MC-like mosaic structure.

one second.

What Li Nuo saw had returned to normal.

I come from gaming.

But I have life.

He closed his eyes.

"Endless Corridor, player Li Nuo, number 5900."

【Welcome back to the Endless Corridor】

When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in a space that looked a bit like the "Hunter's Dream".

"What on earth did the designer think of using tombstones as connecting devices?"

Li Nuo squatted in front of the tombstone of "Mission" and knocked on the stone tablet, and then clear mission information popped up on the stone surface.

After reading it carefully, he sat cross-legged in front of the tombstone, tapped his lips with the fingers of his right hand, opened his memory bank, and extracted some information from the "instruction manual".

There are two mission modes in Endless Corridor.

……

[Scenario Mode: Enter the game copy to perform tasks]

The degree of danger is high, the rewards are generous, and the mission cycle ranges from a few hours to a few years. Players are usually not allowed to travel into the bodies of strangers.

There is a punishment mechanism for mission failure (gold coins will be deducted).

This mode is limited to two missions per month.

……

[Realistic Mode: Players can enter the mission anytime and anywhere in the real world]

The risk level is low, and most of the rewards you get are gold coins. The quantity is not high, and there is no penalty for failing to complete it.

In this mode, the player's abilities are taken from reality, the equipment is locked, and there is a probability of traveling into the body of a stranger.

……

"If the reality model is just like this, what is the meaning of existence?" Li Nuo couldn't help but think.

This mode is equivalent to limiting the player's ability to play another person and complete tasks like a simulator without any punishment. The only effect is to change events that occur in reality.

He continued to watch.

"You have to hand over 3000 gold coins every month as a life-saving fee."

"Entering the mission requires a registration fee of at least 100 gold coins."

Click on the tombstone in the mall.

"The cheapest thing is, a blood replenishing potion costs 500 gold coins, the ether used to restore mana costs 1000 gold coins, and the light repair powder costs 300 gold coins."

He somewhat understood why newcomers would be directly given 1500 to 3000 gold coins after passing the screening. In this poor place, it was impossible to survive without money.

"Why are the weapons and armor for sale all gray?"

[Not open to players below level 20]

"Is it an act of kindness done considering that lower class people cannot afford luxury goods?"

Li Nuo doesn't care about the mall's problems either.

The content of the parchment "instruction manual" contains a record: Most of the things purchased in the mall are imitations, which are good for quenching short-term thirst, but cannot be used as long-term investment items.

More importantly, the mall does not sell skills.

On an additional note, the mainstream way to obtain equipment and skills is "interesting".

[-]. Obtained during the task;
Second, the task settlement is randomly selected.

The equipment or skills obtained in the mission are objects related to the background of the current game era.

You can't find a cation cannon in Fairy Sword, and you can't find a super sword in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

And don’t expect to get reliable equipment by killing mobs.

Killing a hundred goblins, although there is a one-thousandth chance of getting a corrupted female elf.

But there is a greater chance that all you will get is the goblin's filthy underwear.

Here comes the question.

What to do in the mission to maximize the probability of obtaining better equipment and props.

The answer is to focus on character rather than observation and rely on analysis.

Take "Final Fantasy 7" as an example. In a bar called "Seventh Heaven", there are a large number of weapons and supplies hidden.

There is also a super luxury convertible motorcycle parked at the door, and there might be a big sword that can be assembled hidden in the car.

You only need to find out the work and rest time of the beautiful bar owner and a certain hedgehog to "get" the above equipment easily.

The mechanism of "Endless Corridor" basically tells you that there is no need to insist on using force to seize equipment. You can use your brain more.

The second type of equipment skills given by settling experience are randomly gifted. In this way, just leave it to fate.

Go away and come back.

The high cost of supplies in the mall system, the monthly fixed repayment of gold coins, and other miscellaneous uses of gold coins. Based on the above three points, Li Nuoneng deduced that the function of [Realistic Mode] is to allow players to make extra money.

Other possibilities are not ruled out.

Because Li Nuo messed around during the selection process for newcomers, he had a little too much gold coins in his hand and was in a state where he was not short of money.

Naturally, there is no need to do the [Realistic Mode] mission.

But there are two sides to the story.

The tombstone in the mission explanation contains this content:
【Probabilistic system】

[There is a reward pool in the space. Things placed in it have an initial 5% probability of obtaining ability sublimation. Depending on the difference in items, investing gold coins can increase the probability of ability sublimation]

[Before the mission starts, you can invest an equipment item into the reward pool, and then you can choose to invest an equal amount of gold coins to increase the probability of the equipment item being sublimated]

[After the mission is completed, if it is successful, the previously invested equipment will be selected in one of two reward modes]

[-]. Increase in equipment ability (including new entries or slightly fluctuating attributes);

[-]. Obtain the necessary strengthening materials;

[If the mission fails, the item capabilities in the reward pool will be reduced, and all gold coins invested will be confiscated]

On gambling.

And you need to complete a task before you can see the result of the gamble.

In this case, [Reality Mode] makes sense.

Earn extra money through quick [Realistic Mode] missions while overcoming the waiting time of [Probability System].

With this in mind, Li Nuo clicked on his mailbox and checked his rewards.

There are four white cards in his mailbox.

After taking it out, a special panel is displayed:
【Randomly draw cards】

[Card drawing system, you can get equipment and skills with a probability, and it is not restricted by the scenario mode]

"Then let's pick up anyone first."

Li Nuo picked up a white card and silently said "draw".

A white light flashed on the card, and the panel appeared before the real thing.

【Ban'er Brick】

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Bonus: None]

[Durability: F-]

[Brief description: International common language]

Li Nuo held the red brick and shook it in his hand with dead eyes.

"Oh shit."
