Thriller Paradise - Chapter 461
Chapter 461: 461
Back in the scenario…
The dead bodies of the players started to disperse in a ray of white light after ROOT was dragged into the Blast Tunnel.
When these players were asked about this, they all said that… their memory stopped at the moment before they were killed. Then there one second later, they returned to their log in lobby, it was no different from dying in other scenarios. And the remaining players in the city, Wang Tanzhi, Phantom Dawn, Yama, Shiva, Vishnu and Matcha Cookie all logged off from the scenario.
Xiao Tan was the first to do so. When Brother Jue told them to log off from the scenario, as a simple person, he followed the instruction. Even though Matcha Cookie was far from the battlefield to understand what was really happening, but with the reminder from Shapeless Shade, she too swiftly left and did not risk to stay.
The three from Brahman though did not leave immediately. They were still considering the issue of the point system of the tournament… but that was soon abandoned. Because when they opened the game menu to check, the earlier score rules had already been removed. Therefore, the three gave up the thought of fighting each other or going in for a kill on Phantom Dawn and left the scenario.
Regarding Phantom Dawn… the young man was quite annoyed being pinned on the ground. After everyone had left, his annoyed emotion had relaxed slightly and he too left silently.
On the side of the Anomalies… 23, Red Iron and Sharp Gale did not seem to intent to converse with the players. They had completed their mission and they needed to return to the inner world. Time did not allow them to stay for too long.
…
At the noon of 1st June, at Feng Bujue’s home, at that moment, Brother Jue was dressed in an old shirt, squatting next to the wall, painting the wall with a roller…
The wall that he was fixing was naturally the one with the big pawprint.
…
“Why didn’t you find a professional to come fix it?” Arthas leaned on the sofa and asked lazily as if… she had nothing to do with the pawprint on the wall.
“What kind of professional? The road layers?” brother Jue answered without turning around.
“Then why didn’t you go and find the apartment owner to make a complaint?” Arthas suggested.
“Might I remind you… technically speaking, I am not the owner of this room, I am just the tenant.” Feng Bujue said, “if I find a cement worker through the owner, doesn’t that mean it will eventually get to the ears of my landlady?”
“You’re worrying too much, don’t you think?” Arthas asked.
“No… these unfortunate events that have a low chance of happening, will often happen to me. Therefore… I better do this on my own to spare myself the risk.” As he painted the wall, he continued, “Let’s assuming… my landlady found out about this pawprint, then she would ask me for an explanation, and i… at least have to provide one that is somewhat reasonable. You can’t expect me to tell her…’oh, that’s due to that cat over there, she is actually a master martial art artist in Miao Lin, the descendant of Jin Gang claw’; and I couldn’t act dumb and say, ‘I woke up one morning and it was already like that’; so… in the end, i could only say that I did this in a fit of inspiration.” Brother Jue paused as he lowered his hand to grab some cement paste. “This could be a big deal.. People might not care should I destroy my own furniture but to destroy the building itself… that’s something else. Even though my relationship with the landlady is not bad, she might just decide this is the last straw and throw me out…” he turned to glance at Arthas. “Where do you suppose I can find another home at this kind of location, with this kind of price that allow me to keep a pet?”
“I can turn into a woman to share a house with you.” Arthas said.
“Oh?” Feng Bujue turned around and he stopped working. The first question out of his mouth was…”Will you be pretty?”
“I was just kidding.”
“Qie… and I thought this book was going to get a lot more interesting…’
…
Feng Bujue finally finished his work around 3 pm. After some clean up, he planted himself before the computer. The server for Thriller Paradise closed on the morning of 30th May. After that, Brother Jue had been avoiding the forum and official website. For the past two days, he had been basically busying himself with his manuscript and dealing with the small chores in life. But the strange thing was… recently, he had started to physically train his body and he was putting a lot of effort into it, but who knew what the man was up to…
“Ah… it has already been past 48 hours, about time to go take a look…” Feng Bujue grumbled as he opened Dream Inc’s official website. He knew the period when the server first closed, there would be chaos so he purposely waited two days before he went to check the updates. Once Brother Jue opened the webpage, the big title that assaulted his sight was, “Thriller Paradise’s Open Beta is officially over. The new version ‘invasion of the anomaly’ will be online soon.”
Underneath that were other not so important announcements like “The official ranking of Season 1’s Tournament for the Best”, “The Trial Version of Mad Thoughts will close from today and the Closed Beta phase will initiate in the middle of June”. “Due to the update of the server, the services of online trade will be temporarily suspended”…
Feng Bujue clicked the announcement related to the Tournament of the best and the link took him to the ranking page. This so-called ‘ranking’ was basically useless… because at the very top, it wrote that ‘the players within the same bracket are not arranged in any particular order’. In other words, players from rank 11 to rank 30 were all treated equally, it was the same for players ranked 31 to 50. Basically it meant that 20 people will get reward A and the other 20 will get reward B…
Feng Bujue saw the Id Kuang Tanzhi and Phantom Dawn among the list for rank 11 to 30. In a way, this meant that these two achieved the same result in this competition… they would get the ranking and the same prize…
“He he… I can already predict the situation on the forum.” Feng Bujue laughed drily as he said to himself. But he did not go to the forum immediately but clicked on the main title of the ‘invasion of the anomaly’.
After clicking on that, the page moved to the details of the patch of the latest update.
