Chapter 24: Game Update

After Hu Changjun finished speaking, he turned to Yun Moxiang and asked, “Xiao Yun, what is Ning Shi’s comprehensive score for his socialized personality and psychological evaluation?”

“His comprehensive score is 87. He’s extremely outstanding and is worth recruiting.”

Hu Changjun nodded and revealed a satisfied expression. Jiang Yunsheng was surprised and subconsciously retorted.

“Such a high score? That’s impossible!”

The comprehensive score of 87 exceeded that of most of the investigators. Under the evaluation system of the Exchange Bureau, it was very difficult to get a high score.

Yun Moxiang said calmly after being questioned by the director of the Investigation Department.

“Ning Shi’s family background is clean and his family relationship is stable. He has six immediate relatives and 21 collateral relatives. They have a very good relationship with each other and have a deep bond with each other. His family background score is excellent. The only deduction is that he is still single and has not married or had children.”

“According to the investigation, since young, Ning Shi had a harmonious relationship with his classmates. He has helped his weaker classmates to resist the bullying on campus many times. When he started working, he had a friendly relationship with his colleagues and a poor relationship with his immediate superior who was the one at fault. This superior has a very bad reputation in the company. He also has two childhood friends who are like brothers to him. They started a company together. His social relationship is also excellent.”

“According to Ning Shi’s current level at Tier 8, the estimated time of his awakening was definitely before the age of 16. In the past ten years, Ning Shi had extraordinary strength, but he never used this strength to commit evil. Instead, he quietly became an ordinary person. After the change in his strength, his mentality was extremely stable. This is a bonus point.”

“In this A-level spiritual crystal incident, Ning Shi had asked to evacuate the crowd. After the evacuation failed, he took care of the safety of the crowd and took the initiative to propose a duel to Brian, saving hundreds of lives.”

“According to the intelligence we have, Ning Shi does not have the A-level spiritual crystal with him. However, in order to stop this dispute, he deliberately said that the crystal was in his possession. This is another bonus point.”

“If Ning Shi’s method of killing was not too violent and that he acted too calmly after killing, his comprehensive score would be above 90 points.”

Yun Moxiang’s words rendered Jiang Yunsheng speechless. If Ning Shi were here, he would definitely exclaim, “F*ck!”.

“I’m not that good. It’s all a misunderstanding!”

How would Yun Moxiang know that Ning Shi had a cheat like a game avatar? Everything was a logical deduction based on the logic of reality.

Hu Changjun was very happy. “Xiao Yun, you’ve done a good job. The Special Affairs Department needs people like you.”

“I’ll leave Ning Shi’s matter to you. First, ask him to be a consultant for the Special Affairs Department. Then, set up a school specifically for strength-type awakeners and ask him to be the principal.”

“If you want to be the principal, you must have prestige. How about this? Let’s spread the video of Ning Shi defeating Wang Yunlin with one punch on the Internet and let all the strength-type awakeners in the world know that a monster has appeared among them.”

“Wang Yunlin took credit for Ning Shi, so he has to pay a price!”

Hearing Hu Changjun’s words, everyone present shivered, especially Jiang Yunsheng. He knew that when the old minister promised Wang Yunlin an A-level spiritual crystal, he had already planned to sacrifice Wang Yunlin’s image, helping Ning Shi establish a golden body of prestige.

The old minister’s resources were not so easy to take.

Yun Moxiang asked again, “If Ning Shi doesn’t agree, how should we deal with it?”

“Reason with him, move him with emotion, lure him with benefits. Remember not to use force. If necessary, I will personally meet him.”

Ning Shi did not know about the conversation that had taken place at the headquarters of the Special Affairs Department. He returned to his rented house and stared at his phone screen.

The game update was completed.

Ning Shi entered the game. Unlike before, he did not enter the login screen directly. Instead, he first entered an animation.

In the animation video, a black dragon with a wingspan of dozens of meters roared in the air. It spat out dragon breath and destroyed the city. Tribal warriors covered in drawings of totems on their bodies were engaged in a desperate battle with savage beasts. The holy and beautiful 12-winged angel was entangled with the ugly abyss demon. The mech warrior that roamed space destroyed a planet with a quantum cannon.

The animation ended and the scene froze.

[Centuries: The Real World]

The updated version of the game was called “The Real World”. This opening animation was very vivid and had the texture of a top-tier movie.

The black dragon represented the bloodline warrior world that Ning Shi was attacking. Every scene after that might be a new game world.

Ning Shi was looking forward to it. The new world represented a new ability.

[Game update completed. Activating strong binding function. Currently binding only player: Ning Shi. After binding, Ning Shi can download this game from any device.]

This function was good. Previously, he had been worried that the game would be gone if his phone broke. After binding, any phone could download the game indefinitely.

[Activate the reputation system. Players can recruit followers and servants based on reputation points.]

[New skill: Insight technique, can gain insight into character information. The result of the information is determined by the ratio of the player’s spiritual power to the insight target. Number of times to use: 2 times a day.]

The explanation of the insight technique was very clear. Ning Shi focused on studying the reputation system and found that reputation was the focus of this update.

[Follower: A battle partner who targets the player’s targets and serves the player’s interests.]

Recruitment conditions: The target is willing to sign a follower contract.

Follower characteristics:

1. Character Template: The follower activates the hero character template. The follower can kill monsters and level up, learn skills and increase talent.

2. Talent Sharing: The player can share three of his or her talents with the follower. After sharing, the player’s talent will not be affected.

3. Experience Feedback: 100% of the experience gained by the follower will be returned to the player.

4. Unlimited Loyalty: After the follower signs the contract, the loyalty to the player will be constant and full.

[Follower Recruitment Fee: 100 reputation points for 1 person.]

[Servant: A battle servant that obeys the player’s will.]

Recruitment Conditions: Sign the servant contract.

Servant characteristics:

1. Character Template: Servant opens simple character template, can kill monsters and level up.

2. Talent Sharing: The player can share one of his or her talents with the follower. After sharing, the player’s talent will not be affected.

3. Experience Feedback: 20% of the experience gained by the servant will be returned to the player.

[Servant Recruitment Fee: 1 reputation point for 1 person.]

With the reputation system, Ning Shi could recruit followers and servants and use crowd tactics to achieve rapid levelling.

As long as the number of followers and servants was enough, Ning Shi could build a force and quickly obtain various resources.

The reputation system came just in time!

Sure enough, updating the game system was the way to go. Ning Shi looked at the game system update notification.

[Update Energy Recharge: Current progress 0%. Current absorbable energy: spiritual crystals, magic cores.]

The updated energy was slowly accumulating. Ning Shi first looked at his reputation points.

[Reputation Points: Main body 81 (rising reputation) / Avatar 5 (unknown).]

Reputation points were differentiated for the main body and the avatar. Could it be that the main body could also recruit followers and servants in the real world?

He would study this in the future and enter the game first.

Ning Shi clicked on the first perspective and entered the game. The avatar had been farming monsters for the past few days, and its profession level was bloodline warrior Level 9 (168,000/640,000). If he continued to farm monsters, he was still far from levelling up again.

There were 351 intermediate magic cores in his backpack and Ning Shi took out 300 to recharge the energy.

[Update Energy Recharge: Current progress 0.4%.]

300 intermediate magic cores. The progress of the update was only so little. The game’s update required more energy than expected.

Ning Shi put away the meteoric heavy sword and sped back to Duohuang.

He first went to the bloodline shop to sell the remaining 51 magic cores. He received 5100 gold coins. His wallet was bulging. Ning Shi walked into Shriver Street without hesitation.

There were 118 streets in Duohuang and Shriver Street was the most special one. The other streets were all mixed businesses but only Shriver Street specialized in one business.

Slave trade.

This street gathered all the well-known slave traders in the Moen Continent.

In Ning Shi’s impression, the synonymous words of the slave trade were dirty, bloody and evil. However, walking on Shriver Street, he could not feel any bloody smell at all.

The street was clean and tidy, and there was no strange smell. The shops and stalls on both sides of the street were decorated in blue and black. The goods that were put on display by the merchants — slaves of all races were also wearing clean and beautiful clothes, the color was still mainly blue and black.

“It seems that the ruler of Shriver Street is a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder and values order. This is rarely seen in Duohuang.”

Ning Shi muttered to himself as he browsed through all kinds of goods.

Those that could be displayed by the merchants outside the street were all the high-quality slaves in the shops.

There were beautiful half-elves, elegant nobles, rough and powerful savage barbarians, and all kinds of beast men who were “never slaves”.

There were even pure-blooded elves with noble bloodlines.

These slaves had signed a bloodline contract and their lives were in the hands of the master of the contract. They were either numb or angry as they stood by the street, allowing the merchants to comment on them.

Ning Shi only had 5 reputation points. He planned to buy five slaves and recruit five servants.

“How much for this half-elf?”

“Dear customer, you have great taste! Half-elves have the advantage of being mixed and their looks are even more beautiful than humans and elves.”

“This half-elf is called Bruce. Look at his smooth and fair skin, bright and deep eyes and sexy buttocks. He will give you the best experience in bed.”

Ning Shi’s face darkened. He asked for the price because he liked the half-elf’s agility and human bloodline fusion talent, not because he wanted to buy a bed partner.

Moreover, this Bruce in front of him was a man.

“I asked you how much?”

The one who introduced Ning Shi was an old gnome. He had a crafty look on his face. He looked at Ning Shi and slowly opened his five fingers.

“5000 gold coins! No bargaining.”

Ning Shi turned around and left. This old gnome was treating him like a fat sheep to be slaughtered. He was the one who had the system to quote the price. How could he be deceived by others?

“No, no, no! Please don’t go! I’m just offering, you can bargain!”

“To be honest, this half-elf is of no use to me at the moment. I bought him out of kindness, understand? Out of kindness!”

Ning Shi bargained with the old gnome expressionlessly.

[Half-elf Bruce was moved by the player’s words, character Intimacy +10, current character intimacy: 50.]

Ning Shi was about to continue lowering the price when he saw the system notification.

“This half-elf is really honest. He was moved by my bargaining skills. With character intimacy, perhaps this Bruce is a hero like Lena?”

Ning Shi had been in the game world for more than a month and had seen many people. Only Lena would have a character intimacy notification. Bruce was the second.

Ning Shi, who had been prepared to drive down the price, changed his mind.
