"Player: Jigsaw."
Rewards Obtained:
1: 300,000 game coins.
2: Defense attribute +10.
3: Strength attribute +10.
4: Skill obtained: Eavesdropping (Slacker Level).
5: Five-star game card for the danger zone: 1 card (Entering with this card will revive you in the game space after death, and you won't drop any items).
6: Refresh cards: 2 cards.
...
A total of six rewards!
Any of these rewards are excellent.
Game coins go without saying; 300,000 game coins are a lot, more than many ordinary players would have after playing for years.
Attribute points are even better.
According to the game store's attribute point prices, 10,000 game coins can exchange for one attribute point. This time, 20 attribute points were added, which is equivalent to 200,000 game coins.
As for the Eavesdropping skill, this is also very good, providing an advantage in information.
Clicking on the skill option, the skill description appears:
"Skill: Eavesdropping, granting the owner unparalleled hearing."
"Want to know what others are secretly doing?"
"Want to know others' secrets?"
"Want to know what others say about you behind your back?"
"Then eavesdrop."
The skill proficiency levels are: Slacker, Apprentice, Proficient, Expert, Master, Grandmaster.
Eavesdropping is currently at the Slacker level, and according to the description, it can only eavesdrop within a range of about 30 meters.
To upgrade is simple, increase the attribute points for eavesdropping.
The five-star game card for the danger zone is also very good.
Because in each instance, death and game failure are different.
In an instance, death is real death, but entering with a game card means you won't die and won't drop any items.
As for the refresh cards, they are also very useful.
After each person completes an instance, there is a 15-day cooldown period.
With a refresh card, you can ignore the cooldown and enter again.
...
After the rewards appeared, the system提示 only allowed staying for three minutes.
After three minutes, you would leave.
Not only that, according to the game space rules, once in a game, whether you fail or succeed, you can never enter that game again.
This rule is set to prevent some people from repeatedly entering a game to exploit bugs.
"Lixin, what are you thinking about?" Li Guang walked over. "Tonight is the celebration banquet. You are the hero of this case, so be happy."
Chen Anlin smiled and said, "Just thinking about some things."
"Are you worried that Lin Yixiang and Yang Zhen will be angry because you reported them? Don't worry, they are grateful that you reported them, which helped them turn back from the brink."
At this moment, Liang Junyi walked over. "Li Guang, I need to talk to you about something."
"Oh? What is it?"
Liang Junyi didn't speak, just glanced at Chen Anlin and sighed.
He decided to come clean with Li Guang about his affair with his wife, to clear the air...
He did this because of Chen Anlin's previous warning.
Watching the two go to the hallway, Chen Anlin also went to the restroom.
He knew he was about to leave.
...
After a flash of white light, Chen Anlin found himself back in the hospital room.
His broken bones and gruesome wounds were completely healed, and the pain was gone.
"I'm healed."
Chen Anlin was overjoyed. This was the power of the game space.
As long as you complete an instance, even if you only get a 1-star rating, any injuries will be healed.
Moreover, time flows very slowly in the game. You might spend years in the game, but in reality, only a few minutes might pass.
Some people once wondered how such a magical game space appeared.
A hundred years ago, humans were still striving to develop technology, but suddenly, many game players appeared.
The era of game evolution had arrived.
Perhaps this was the power of the gods, some speculated.
At this moment, the door opened, and a nurse came in to check on him.
The two nurses were young, and they were discussing as they walked.
"Wow, my boyfriend just called and said that after half a year, an 8-star game rating appeared again. I checked, and the player's name is Jigsaw. I wonder who this person is."
"I also checked. It was the Eavesdropping Storm instance. I wonder what rewards he got."
"If only I could meet him, that would be great."
"You already have a boyfriend, and you're still thinking about others."
The other nurse was disdainful, secretly cursing that being pretty and good at flirting made her so special. She would have to learn to be like that someday...
"A boyfriend isn't a husband. If I could meet Jigsaw, with my looks, do you think he would like me?"
"Don't say that, the patient is watching."
The two nurses, talking, noticed that Chen Anlin had woken up.
At this moment, Chen Anlin was deeply moved. A powerful game player was indeed very popular.
If he revealed his identity, these two nurses would probably throw themselves at him.
Of course, this was just a thought.
Although he looked young, he was mentally mature and had long passed the age of showing off.
Additionally, in this world, people generally kept their game names secret to prevent others from targeting them for their benefits.
The original owner of this body, though not very smart, did a good job in this regard.
For example, he never mentioned the name Jigsaw to anyone.
"Oh, you're awake."
The nurse with a boyfriend smiled sweetly, leaned down, and prepared to give him an injection.
Although he was healed, Chen Anlin still accepted the injection, not wanting to be too conspicuous for now.
Everything would wait until he had more power.
"Come, let me help you urinate."
The other nurse skillfully picked up the catheter, lifted the blanket, and inserted it forcefully.
"Ouch..."
...
After the nurses left, Chen Anlin called his parents to tell them he could be discharged.
When his parents returned, they found that Chen Anlin's injuries were already healed.
Immediately, his father, Chen Ziqiang, realized something.
"You entered an instance."
"Yes," Chen Anlin nodded. He could hide it from others, but not from his parents.
"It was a regular instance, and I was lucky to complete it."
"Good, good!" Yang Ping wiped away her tears happily. "We must celebrate when we get home, with a big feast."
"Yes, but first, we need to visit your aunt," Chen Ziqiang threw Chen Anlin some clothes and said, "Your aunt's daughter was eaten by a python in the Rampage of the Python instance. She died a terrible death. Your aunt was very good to you when you were young, so you should go and comfort her."
"I understand."
Chen Anlin sighed.
His aunt's daughter was his older sister, and he had just been admitted to the Ability Academy, with a bright future ahead. He never expected her to die in such a way.
"By the way, son, since you completed the instance, what rewards did you get?"
"A few thousand game coins."
On the way back, Chen Anlin casually mentioned some of the rewards.
He wasn't intentionally hiding them from his parents, but even though they were ordinary people, they often discussed game instances with relatives and friends. If he accidentally revealed something, it could attract unwanted attention.
The name Jigsaw was being watched by many people now!
Just as they reached the building, some acquaintances greeted Chen Ziqiang: "Hey, you picked up your son from the hospital. He's looking much better. Did you complete an instance?"
Chen Ziqiang's face was flushed with happiness as he greeted them, "Lucky, lucky. This kid completed an instance and is healed."
"That's good. Be careful next time. Not long ago, a girl from our neighborhood entered an instance called Yan Shuangying. She chose the powerful Imperial Army faction, but still failed. Poor thing."
The acquaintance's reminder made Chen Ziqiang and Yang Ping frown.
Yes, although his son was healed this time, what about the future?
For ordinary people entering instances without a resurrection card or game card, the death rate and injury rate were very high.
They were worried that their son might have another accident in the future.
Therefore, as soon as they got home, Yang Ping spoke up first: "Son, you're about to graduate from high school. Do you want to choose the liberal arts or the game studies program?"
