Chapter 33: 33, Sparks a heated debate across the Internet! 1
Translator: 549690339
Everything Su Yu said was the truth.
When a player’s level reaches 50, they become a third-tier professional within the game.
(In “Evolution” 0-9 is for novice professionals; 10-29 for first-tier professionals; 30-49 for second-tier professionals; and 50-59 for third-tier professionals.)
Third-tier professionals can bring their in-game powers into reality.
Once they materialize, they can become completely bulletproof!
Mages and Priests, equipped with protective spells, could even withstand a barrage of light machine-gun fire!
And those with superior defenses, such as defenders and knights, could withstand the damage of a Soviet-made RPG-7 40mm rocket launcher after becoming third – tier!
This is damage not even a field tank can withstand!
The astonishing power possessed by these professions is far beyond the value of a single house in a school district.
Moreover, in half a year, houses in school districts are not worth much.
Nevertheless, Su Yu’s words still caused a sensation among the players!
At first, everyone didn’t take the server-wide announcement seriously.
Although Su Yu was very skilled at soloing dungeons, which they envied, it did not related much to most of the players.
But now, it’s very different!
The “Level 50 Reward” mentioned by Su Yu was related to everyone, and it naturally moved them.
Nolan Village’s Village Square.
The players looked at each other in shock.
After a while, a huge discussion broke out in the square, the volume several times louder than before!
“My God! A house in a third-tier city’s school district?! That’s worth at least tens of thousands!”
“Do you get it when you reach level 50? Does everyone get it?” “With such high rewards, wouldn’t the game company go bankrupt?”
“Cut it out, how is it possible? Why would a game company give you such benefits?”
“Even though I don’t quite believe it, I think it could be true! If Nemesis wasn’t certain, why would he dare say so?” The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
“Exactly! There’s no benefit to Nemesis for saying this, why would he lie to us?” “Enough talk everyone, I’m off to level up.”
“I’m also going to level up. Given the quality of this game, even if there are no rewards, I will keep playing and eventually reach level 50.”
“Let’s go, to level up.”
The effect of the “Big Trumpet” was excellent, and the players’ attention was shifted from the “gossips about the two major guilds” to proper leveling.
Some players verbally stated their disbelief, but their actions told otherwise, calling their friends to go level up.
All the villages immediately experienced a leveling fever.
Offline, in the official forum, the “drama” of the two major guilds was no longer appealing, the whole page was covered by “Nemesis”.
Moreover, the issue quickly gained popularity!
In just two hours, the topic “Level 50 in ‘Evolution’ equals a house in a third-tier city’s school district?” topped the Weibo trends!
Of course, in an environment like Weibo, those who believed Su Yu were few. Most of them were hurling abuses:
“Here comes another weirdo addicted to gaming, thinking leveling up could earn him a million-dollar reward? Why not wish for the moon?”
“Exactly! Here’s the deal, if the reward for level 50 in this game really could be redeemed for a house in real life, I would eat my phone right then and there!”
‘”Evolution’ discriminates against women! How could the role-playing character of a Priest be a woman in the demo? Aren’t the game developers implying we women are only qualified to be Priests? To be under the protection of others? Sisters, let’s crash this sexist game together!”
“What nonsense is this? How did it top my beautiful Xiaomeiren on the trending list? They must have bought some water army!”
Apart from Weibo, another post on Zhihu asking “What do you think of a player’s claim in ‘Evolution’ that reaching level 50, the reward from the game, is equivalent to a house in a third-tier city’s school district?” quickly rose to the hot list.
However, similarly to Weibo, 99% of the netizens below expressed their disbelief in this:
“Thanks for the invite, but I knew the second I saw this, it must be from some child who hasn’t been smacked by society.”
“Honestly, our hard-working people have to struggle for 40 years to squeeze a small house from capitalists, and a game level-up hands it out straight away? Would you believe that?”
“I’m in America, just put on a mask… Can’t you guys see this is just a promotion by the game company? Really concern for your intelligence.”
“Just the same old tricks from the game operators, go away!”
Apart from Weibo and Zhihu, other platforms like Baidu and Bilibili have sparked a deep discussion over the same issue.
The name “Nemesis” gained overnight success, and became well-known among many netizens.
However, Su Yu was completely unaware of this.
But even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t care.
Fame is the most useless thing in this era, he didn’t really need it.
Back to the game.
Snow Fall was still solving a fairly difficult hidden task.
Shortly after Su Yu spoke publicly, she received a private message.
The message was from her brother, “Snow Leopard”:
Snow Leopard: “Luo Luo, I heard from Dad that you and ‘Nemesis’ know each other well?”
Snow Fall’s eyes lit up, and she quickly replied, “Bro, we’re not that close. But I do know quite a few of his deeds, like… (300 words omitted)…”
Snow Fall used a lot of text to describe all the deeds she knew about “Nemesis”.
However, she didn’t mention the matter of Nemesis summoning the [Star-forged Dragon King], because if the two guilds knew that Nemesis summoned the boss, it could cause him quite some trouble.
Snow Leopard carefully read through the information sent by his sister.
After reading, he replied: “Could you ask him if the rewards he mentioned are true? Our department attaches great importance to this!”
Snow Fall joked: “How should I ask? Seduce him?”
Snow Leopard: “That wouldn’t be a bad idea, just make sure not to sacrifice too much.”
Snow Fall: ‘
Returning to Su Yu.
Three minutes after the “Big Trumpet” ended, Su Yu stood still, not moving at all.
This was not because Su Yu was pondering something, but because — he got lagged!
Due to the server-wide announcement and the server-wide Big Trumpet, tens of thousands of players tried to add him as a friend all at once.
This caused the character Su Yu controlled to lag like a PPT presentation.
The root cause of this was the game’s imperfect bandwidth architecture in the early stage. Too much data at once could cause this kind of issue.
Su Yu was left with a wry smile.
He really did not expect so many people to add him as a friend.
It was not until three minutes later, when Su Yu managed to close the “allow others to add you as a friend” option in the settings, that his character slowly returned to normal.
After returning to normal, Su Yu couldn’t help but wipe his sweat, relieved: “Thank goodness I wasn’t disconnected from the server or kicked out of the dungeon, I haven’t looted the boss’s body yet!”
Looking at the [Village Head of Sheep Village]’s corpse in front of him.
Su Yu suddenly noticed — the bag dropped by the corpse was glistening with gold!
Su Yu was startled: “Could it be? A gold-grade equipment drop?!”
