Xu Shuo casually pushed the small pop-up window to the corner and then opened "The Square," entering the world of the forum.
He didn''t know how long the Script Space and the forum system had evolved, but the fact that even the shops above page nine hundred and ny-nine had been thoroughly explored showed that there were many busybodies around.
As the saying goes, "The more idiotic theizens, the more joy abound; omniscient and omnipresent!"
Thus, Xu Shuo first searched for the keyword "using abilities in the real world," and immediately, dozens of pages of posts were listed below.
Half wereining about this point, while the other half were reveling in schadenfreude.
Schadenfreude?
Xu Shuo clicked on those posts with a high number of replies and likes, reading through the yers'' discussions seriously, his expression remaining calm, so calm that there were no emotional fluctuations.
"[We can totally use our abilities here, haha, maybe it''s because our world is naturally unscientific.]"
"[They can''t use superpowers over there?!]"
"[Big cry! I''m so powerful in the game, but still a little weakling in the real world!]"
"[We can''t use them here either boo hoo hoo...]"
"[Is it the same ce?]"
"[Don''t know.]"
"[There must be some restriction, but anyway, we can use our powers here.]"
There were many discussion posts because surely there were yers who wanted to use their gained abilities in the real world, yet the yers seemed to be prized.
Some said they could use their abilities, while others said they could not, indicating that the yers in the Script Space mighte from many different worlds.
There''s more than just their world out there...
Xu Shuo''s eyes darkened as he scrolled through dozens of posts, but he didn''t see a single person who described in detail what their own world was actually like!
He didn''t know if it was being censored by the forum, or for some other reason it couldn''t be mentioned.
And in the ''non-usable world,'' the only solution yers came up with was that you need to ascend to a Level 4 yer before the privilege to use abilities is unlocked, thereby sessfully interfering with the real world, and even this had many restrictions.
Low-level yers are not only exploited by the Script Space but are also discriminated against.
It''s also unclear what the purpose of this thing''s existence really is.
Xu Shuo closed these posts and nced at the constantly shing pop-up in the corner before typing the two characters "Hong Rao" into the search bar.
He was initially just curious to try, but to his surprise, there was actually a page of rted posts.
Thetest post was from this period.
"[It''s the newbie season again, neers beware the ''student killer''s presence!]"
Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow, intrigued, and clicked to view it.
The author of the post narrated with fluent prose, using a multifaceted narrative approach, and vividly described a terrifying ''mentor'' who had taught and subsequently lost more than a dozen students!
Hong Rao had lied, she actually had fifteen students, and the only truth was that they all indeed died during the Level 4 assessment Script.
After her job change to ''Mentor,'' she never had a student who sessfully graduated...
After that, Hong Rao had thought about just making do and taking on a Level 3 yer who had never had a mentor before, maintaining a nominal rtionship to help herplete the ''Mentor Tasks.''
However, the veteran yers were utterly terrified of her, they all refused and dared not ept.
Even with the promise of a high reward and the mentor''s channel for cheat-levelmunication within the Script, no one dared to coborate with her.
It wasn''t fear that she would betray them; it was the fear of her horrifying ability where every student she took on died!
After all, those who had tried were already dead.
In the years that followed, Hong Rao turned her sights to clueless neers, attempting to find a breakthrough with them.
And thus, these advisory posts cautioning newbies started appearing.
There was also a personal reply under this post.
"Damn you, Sikong, wait for me! How dare you spread rumors about me, I''ming to visit you right away!"
The timestamp of the reply was three days ago.
However, seeing that the post was still there and not deleted, it''s obvious that the person''s visit to confront the rumor-monger didn''t go too well.
No wonder sheid out all those conditions so attractively yesterday and was so eager to have me be her apprentice on the spot.
So this was the biggest issue.
Thinking of this, Xu Shuo chuckled and turned his gaze toward the system pop-up window that was tossed in the corner. He dragged it out and clicked "Agree".
The familiar Light Gate reappeared, and the woman who stepped out was still wearing that fitted ck cheongsam with silver-white embroidered flowers on the skirt and chest, adding a quiet and elegant charm.
But Hong Rao''s features were too enchantingly beautiful, and every smile and frown was dazzling. These contradictory qualities on her were even more captivating.
"Little brother, have you made up your mind?"
Looking at the young man with the gentle, friendly smile who seemed easy to get along with, Hong Rao blinked and asked while gracefully taking a seat on the sofa.
Xu Shuo didn''t mind her way of addressing him and just smiled, saying, "I heard that bing your studentes with a considerable reward."
Hong Rao: "..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the color drained from Hong Rao''s face!
She knew it, sure enough, after one night, this man had learned everything!
Those damn posts!
Hong Rao tugged at the corner of her mouth awkwardly and said, "Ha, those things, don''t believe them… the fourth-level Script Space assessment is always very challenging, it''s not excessive to have some unpredictable idents."
Xu Shuo didn''t say anything but continued to give her a smile that wasn''t quite a smile.
After a while, Hong Rao finally let out a deted humph, slumped onto the sofa, and muttered, "Alright, state your terms. Since you''ve agreed to meet me, you must have some ideas."
"What''s the reward?" Xu Shuo, sitting opposite her, asked.
Hong Rao gave him a slightly strange look, this posture made it feel like the two were conducting some kind of business negotiation.
So she straightened up and said earnestly, "Not only can I assist you after you enter the game, but I will also give you a soul fruit after you sessfully pass the fourth-level assessment!"
Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow and asked, "What''s a soul fruit?"
"It can use your soul to cultivate a ''second body.'' Think of it as an avatar, but it''s much more real," Hong Rao exined thoughtfully. "It''s also equivalent to having a second life. After your current body dies, your consciousness can transfer to the ''second body.''"
"If you can have a second life, why do those people still not want to work with you?" Xu Shuo followed up immediately.
"Because when transferring the soul after the original body dies, there might be damage to the essence," Hong Rao admitted a bit sheepishly. "And also, your seniority in the Script Space would reset to zero."
This was the most critical point.
The ''second body'' is just a nk te; everything about it depends on the original body. The yer''s Handbook in the Script Space will also be erased along with the death of the original body.
It''s like all the levels and items that were earned through hard work and risking one''s life are gone in an instant upon transferring!
It would drive any yer mad!
So even though many yers have soul fruits as a backup, they still dare not let loose and splurge because one wrong move might lead to aplete downfall!
Here, besides life, wealth is most important!
Upon hearing this, Xu Shuo rested his chin on his hand and fell into thought while Hong Rao watched him, outwardlyposed but somewhat anxious, as she waited for his response.
After a while, the young man spoke, "Then, can you convert this thing into money for me?"
Hong Rao: "...?"
What? Money?
I thought you would ask me for a Resurrection Card. But money, what the heck is that about?!
