Infinite Game, 10x Rewards

A pattern?

Shangguan Qian narrowed his small eyes, looked at Han Gui, and asked,

“You sensed it too?”

There was such a thing!

“You knew? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I wasted two days…” Han Gui’s face turned black. “If I had known the pattern earlier, would I only have gained this much?”

Shangguan Qian rubbed his fingers again as he looked at Han Gui.

“You know the rules, but I didn’t tell you before because this piece of information was more expensive. And since you’re a new player, I didn’t bother to mention it…

“I don’t think the 100 points you’re offering is sufficient.” Shangguan Qian turned serious.

“This piece of information is more expensive than that?” asked Han Gui with a frown.

“How many points is it worth? And are you sure the information is true?”

Han Gui still had 1500 points and Xinyue still had 280 points. 1780 points should be enough.

Shangguan Qian put out one finger and said, “1000 points. Take it or leave it. But I can guarantee it’s valid and authentic. Otherwise, my stall would have been destroyed.”

1,000 points? Han Gui was shocked. Each piece of ordinary information was only worth 10 points. Was this fatty trying to scam people?

Shangguan Qian wasn’t surprised Han Gui had fallen silent. It was 1,000 points after all. Only the large factions in the F Class area could give out 1,000 points without blinking. Some people couldn’t even get 1,000 points in a game.

“Let’s make a deal. You had better not lie to me.”

Shangguan Qian looked at Han Gui, confused. What was that? A deal? Did he hear wrong?

His eyes widened as Shangguan Qian looked at Han Gui in shock.

Then he looked at the equipment on Han Gui’s body – a level 3 armor on his body with a Desert Eagle and a grenade on his waist. This outfit alone was worth 500 to 600 points.

Han Gui must have some of his attributes already enhanced too. And now he was willing to spend 1,000 points on this piece of information. How rich could this guy be?

It was not until Shangguan Qian saw the 1,000 points transferred to him that he woke up from his daze.

Han Gui had just traded 1,000 points without batting an eye. That was no small amount of points he had just spent!

“Alright, so tell me. And if you lie to me, I will use your fats to light up a sky lantern!”

Shangguan Qian shivered and chuckled at Han Gui’s sudden viciousness, then he returned to his usual wretched appearance.

“Come on, do I look like a liar? Come closer, I’ll tell you.”

Han Gui frowned and moved his ears closer.

“This information is only known to the larger factions and teams in the F Class area. All monsters indeed have the same drop rate of crystal cores.

“But you’ve played similar games before, right? The higher your level, the lower your rewards from monster kills. But, if you kill monsters above your level, you reap more benefits. It’s the same in the outer area.

“Although there are so many people in the outer area, how many powerful players have you seen? The truly powerful players are all further in. The drop rate of crystal cores for all monsters is the same when you are around the same level as, or higher than them. But if you fight across levels, the drop rate will increase correspondingly.”

When Shangguan Qian was done talking, he retreated and Han Gui also sat back up straight.

Now he understood. It all made sense now.

“Oh right, I’ll give you another piece of news for free. There are rules in the outside world too. All you have to do is focus on killing monsters and leveling up. This is the tacit understanding everyone has. Don’t worry about those who offend you.”

He nodded silently. It was exactly as he had thought.

After bringing Xinyue and the others back to the residence, Han Gui was not in a hurry to refine the crystal cores. Instead, he stored them. These crystal cores might be of great use at a later time.

When night descended, Han Gui remembered to close the door this time. The next day, Han Gui brought Xinyue deeper into the darkness while Aria continued to stay at the outermost area.

The results of the experiment were not bad. In a few days, Han Gui and Xinyue had obtained a total of 48 crystal cores. It seemed like a lot, but when spread out among them and the total number of monsters they had killed, it wasn’t a lot.

Aria, on the other hand, did not disappoint Han Gui. In four days, she had obtained 22 crystal cores. Her fighting environment that was like life-and-death had increased her Strength and Agility by 0.1 points each.

After consuming the 22 crystal cores with an 8:8:2:4 distribution, Aria’s four-dimensional attributes were instantly upgraded.

Character: Alicia

Master: Han Gui

Strength: 2.4

Agility: 2.8

Spirit: 1.9

Constitution: 2.1

Her rate of improvement was pretty high.

Han Gui did not bring Xinyue and Aria out today because a week had already passed. The new Infinite Game was about to begin.

[Ding! Respected Player Han Gui, Infinite Game is about to begin. Please be ready.]

The notification came while he was waiting patiently. He turned to look at Xinyue and Aria and realized that they were also looking at him. Han Gui nodded silently at them.

A white light spread out from the big ball of light and the trio instantly disappeared from the sofa.

Their vision blurred for a moment. After waking up again, they looked around. The dark environment made Han Gui frown slightly.

The dark forest and dark sky indicated that it was probably nighttime where they were. Xinyue and Aria had also regained consciousness.

It was not just the three of them. There were more than ten other people in the forest, most were looking around nervously.

They were not the only ones in the crowd. There was another group of people seven or eight meters away.

They had excellent equipment, wearing armor and holding standard guns in their hands. It seemed that they were an excellent battle team.

While Han Gui was looking around, the players a few meters away were also looking at Han Gui.

It was unavoidable. Han Gui and his team were too eye-catching. After all, he had Xinyue, the succubus, and Aria, the attractive assassin queen, standing on either side of him.

“Which game world is this? Do you guys have any ideas?”

“This dark environment looks like it might be alien, but the aliens would usually be in outer space. This might also be the Holy Land, but something is still not quite right.”

“Why do I get the feeling that this is like the Walking Dead?”

They did not seem to be in the same team but they were already discussing among themselves. And they kept looking at Han Gui the entire time.

“Hey, Friend. Do you want to form a team? Do you have any information about this world?”

Han Gui didn’t pay attention to these people. He looked around and felt that he was familiar with this place. It seemed that this was…

[Ding! Infinite Game has officially started. This world is the Ruins of Death. We will now start distributing missions..]
