Mini World Of Endless Fun Awaits-Chapter 183 - You Have Surpassed 99% Of The World’s Upright Primates
Chapter 183 – You Have Surpassed 99% Of The World’s Upright Primates
[Mission Complete.]
[Completed basic mission objective – 60 points awarded;]
[Expedite: Mission completed in 9 days, 3 hours, 26 minutes – 21 points awarded;]
[Wilding in 2D: Intruded into more than 10 games – 1 point awarded;]
[World Phenomenon: Affected more than 1 billion people – 1 point awarded;]
[212%: Acquired 212% of source data at the point of completion – 2 points awarded;]
[Total score is 85 points. Appraisal: Extraordinary.]
[Current mission score: 85 points (Extraordinary). Highscore: 85 points (Extraordinary).]
[Do you wish to upload this score as the final result? You will receive merit points based on the appraisal category of your current mission score. You will also receive specialized rewards.]
[You may only upload your score once.]
[You can choose to play the game again an unlimited number of times, but regardless of the status of subsequent missions, your final mission score will always be 10 points (but will still be considered as cleared).]
[If you choose to restart the game, 212% of the source data will be shared equally between Irina and the corrupt twin. In the new game, the corrupt twin will definitely escape.]
[Your current mission score has received an appraisal of Extraordinary, and you will obtain a game hint ‘Reason to Replay’.]
[Reason to Replay: You discover that after the fusion of the corrupt twin into Irina, the twins will no longer be able to increase their source data through the method of ‘erosion’, based on their logic rules. The only way to increase their source data is to make use of your merit points. However, if you do not want to spend your merit points…]
The first portion of the mission evaluation was still ordinary, apart from the “Expedite” category where he earned 21 points, which truly surprised Ren Suo.
The time he took to clear the game was even listed down explicitly along with it, which led Ren Suo to think that the number of points he was awarded for that category was calculated by 30-9=21. The longer the time Ren Suo took to complete the mission, the fewer the points awarded for that category, and there might even be none given if the time taken was too long.
In fact, if Ren Suo had not decisively spent his merit points to increase Irina’s source data to 200%, he might well only clear the game after at least 10 days.
Ren Suo calculated that it would have taken a month to clear the game normally, without spending merit points.
He purchased 75% of source data using his merit points. Of which, [A Little Goes A Long Way] was triggered 39 times and he spent only 36 merit points. Nonetheless, Ren Suo knew that the 21 points he was awarded were worth the price—that was a game with the highest reward of 300 merit points!
However, the hint that followed about replaying the game bewildered Ren Suo slightly.
Although the game was unlike “Passing Hats” where it could only be cleared once, the game would be akin to a ‘completely refreshed version’ if Ren Suo wanted to replay it. No matter how he fared in the subsequent games, his highest mission score would only be 10 points.
After careful consideration of the details, Ren Suo was quickly enlightened:
The purpose of that was to increase Irina’s source data while sacrificing the mission score.
However, the maximum reward for the game “Endless Intrusion” was 300 merit points.
In other words, the game believed that if the player played the game again, the player would be able to be rewarded with more than 300 merit points.
The source data possessed by Irina would be retained after completing the game. That meant that with each time the corrupt twin was fused into Irina and each time the mission was completed, the source data possessed by Irina would only increase. In other words, Irina would only grow stronger.
To be more detailed, that was equivalent to letting the corrupt twin prey on the life energy of humans and waiting until the corrupt twin was much stronger with more source data. At that point in time, Irina, who was at the top of the food chain, would then kill the corrupt twin to increase her strength significantly.
“Would an Irina capable of unlimited growth be worth 300 merit points or more…”
Ren Suo was slightly puzzled: Irina was not the Seeker, not the Heavenly Hitman, nor was she a Ren family Practitioner. She was merely a 2D character.
It was not that Ren Suo looked down on 2D characters, but if a game that allowed Ren Suo to use characters from previously cleared games appeared in the future, would Irina be usable even if the game was not set in the context of the world of the Internet?
Ren Suo actually did not have much to consider. Even now, he felt that Irina’s ability of ‘entertainment’ was greater than that of being ‘practical’. Moreover, his goal at present was to accumulate more merit points, so he was naturally uninterested in things like ‘spending merit points to become stronger’.
Furthermore, restarting the game would allow the corrupt twin to continue absorbing the life energy of humans, who were at the bottom of the food chain, in order for her to increase her source data.
As someone at the bottom end of the food chain, Ren Suo had no interest in allowing a 2D pet to make use of his kind to feed itself.
Ren Suo chose to upload his mission score!
[Your mission score has been uploaded. You have received 225 merit points. Use them wisely.]
[You have received a 1* 3-star treasure chest. It can be found and activated in the Safehouse Inventory.]
[You have received the following specialized reward: Data Stream. It can be found and activated in the Safehouse Inventory.]
[Your score for “Endless Intrusion” has been uploaded. Thank you for playing. Mini worlds of endless fun await!]
At that juncture, the screen returned to the game and Irina bowed slightly to Ren Suo behind the screen. She said: [My supreme and great lord, Irina will be waiting for your orders here.]
[The power of ‘perfect erosion’ will always abide by the orders from my lord.]
Exiting the game, Ren Suo saw the disc icon spinning at the lower right corner of the game icon of “Endless Intrusion”.
“It shouldn’t take very long, right?” Ren Suo thought.
Although that was a free game, it was just like “The All-Devouring Spirit” where the game was visible but not accessible after clearing it.
Now, it was naturally time for activating the treasure chest.
Looking at the two 3-star treasure chests in the Safehouse Inventory, Ren Suo was slightly frustrated.
He still did not have sufficient keys. In the Safehouse Inventory, there were three keys in total: [1-star Storm Key], [1-star Space Key], and [2-star Resentment Key]. They were obtained from Lin Xianyu, Dong Chengling, and Qiao Muyi respectively. Altogether, they could not form a 3-star key.
Ren Suo was frustrated thinking about it; he promised to work in the school hospital for a day each month. As it turned out, he saw 31 students and 13 faculty members throughout the day, but none of the patients possessed keys. In the end, it only left him depleted of Reiki energy and feeling extremely exhausted.
From what Ren Suo observed in the dining hall, there were at least twenty Awakeners in the school. He could only attribute his lack of keys to his poor luck, and none of the Awakeners fell ill on the day he worked in the school hospital.
However, the probability of Practitioners falling ill was getting lower and lower, which was why Ren Suo was not very interested in working in the school hospital often.
“It looks like I still have to make them endanger their lives for more keys to come my way… Was the hint I left behind useless…” Ren Suo muttered to himself as he looked around his Safehouse Inventory to discover no specialized reward.
Was that actually an ability?
Ren Suo opened the Equipment page and finally found the specialized reward from “Endless Intrusion”—
[Data Flow].
“Was it not something which would digitize me directly, but an ability that needs to be activated?”
Ren Suo had thought that he would become a man who could be measured by [Health Points], [Magic], and [Stamina].
After equipping [Data Flow], Ren Suo did not feel anything different. He thought for a moment, then held his belly with his right hand and said in his heart, “Data Stream”.
[Target type: Adult male, Human, a Primate]
[Physical condition: Normal]
[Progress of Practice: Tier 1, 36% (You have surpassed 99% of the world’s upright apes!)]
[Eyes: Slightly dry, relatively greater amount of eye discharge. Eye drops to be used once per day is recommended to effectively alleviate the situation]
[Limbs: Lacking exercise. Performing the 11th set of the radio calisthenics once a day is recommended to alleviate the situation]
[Neck: Insufficient use. Drawing the word ‘feces’ with the head looking towards the sky three times a day is recommended to alleviate the situation]
[Kidney: …]
A long list of data flowed into Ren Suo’s mind as if he was undergoing a thorough physical examination. The information even pointed out current problems and specific treatment plans!
Being digitized would have been better… Ren Suo did not believe that he would still need to practice the radio calisthenics and draw the word “feces” with his head every day to maintain his health after being digitized!
Nonetheless, the data he received was still pretty interesting, and Ren Suo used “Data Flow” to receive information for other items in his house.
[65-inch Z9d4 4K HDR television, 3840×2160 resolution, direct-lit LED backlight. Currently powered on; the operation is normal];
[Lingmei fountain pen, 31% ink remaining, the pen tip has oxidized slightly. 31 days have passed since the last use; usage is normal];
[Drinkable tap water, colorless and transparent. Has a slightly rusty taste; can be consumed normally after boiling]
[Target type: Blattodea Blattidae]
“What the hell!”
…
After examining all the items in his home, Ren Suo found that the data detected from [Data Stream] for dead objects were all very concise. An evaluation of whether it could be used normally would also be mentioned at the end of the stream of information.
Ren Suo had thought that the data stream would only present such a detailed list of information for himself. However, he completely dismissed that thought when he came into contact with a cockroach scuttering out of the guest room.
The cockroaches in the West were hellishly gigantic!
It was only then when Ren Suo remembered that he had been away from home for half a month. After returning, he had only cleaned his bedroom, the kitchen, and the living room. The guest room was empty and not occupied all along, so it had not been cleaned.
Ren Suo ensured that the other areas of the house were spick and span so there would definitely not be any cockroaches in those areas. Only the guest room would be a possible hotbed to breed those pesky, hated pests!
Anyway, there was only one guest room, so Ren Suo quickly took out a can of insecticide and sprayed it all around the guest room, then quickly closed the door to prevent the insecticide from leaking out.
Pssssh–
The sound of heavy rain pattering down from the sky could be heard and Ren Suo realized that the sky outside had already turned dark.
“How great, I can only eat crayfish and stir-fried snails now,” Ren Suo muttered to himself as he headed outside to his balcony and looked at the sky. He said, “… Does the dining hall allow takeaway?”
The night sky had still been clear with no clouds in sight just moments ago, but now, it was suddenly pouring cats and dogs. The rain landed on Ren Suo as if he was splattered with dog feces.
“Ding dong~”
At this moment, his doorbell rang.
