Chapter 23 On-site Appraisal

Chapter 23 On-site Appraisal
the next day.

Su Ming clicked on the CD game.

Select the [Load Game] option.

Then, a prompt popped up on the screen.

[A major update to the character's abilities has been detected. It is recommended that you restart the game so that the character's abilities can be updated synchronously. ]

I didn't expect that CD games have this function.

Although he didn't know the principle, Su Ming still started a new file.

Once inside, there was a clear difference.

The character's movement speed, the pistol's attack range, hit rate and other attributes have been greatly improved.

Moreover, there are some additional options.

For example, you can now choose to take direct action and launch an attack on plot characters such as the driver.

Use force to persuade them to follow his advice.

As the character's abilities become stronger, many things become smoother.

Su Ming's strategy began to become easier.

Many situations that used to require the use of a pistol can now be solved with one's own force.

Saves pistol bullets.

But even his character already has the abilities of a top professional killer.

As far as the art of killing is concerned, he has reached the pinnacle among human beings.

But in the black town, there are still many monsters that he cannot fight against with force.

He also died many times due to various risky operations.

But after saving the game again and again, he gradually found a way to complete this dungeon perfectly.

Then, after several days of hard work, I finally achieved a perfect ending.

"It's done."

Su Ming sat up from the computer, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

These past two days, he has done basically nothing except studying the game.

I even feel that such a dull life lacks excitement.

They all want to return to their old jobs and restart their careers as killers in the real world.

Fortunately, he still had his wits about him and knew that this was not the right thing to do.

Once you do this in the real world, there is no going back.

He now had every reason to believe that the real world was very complicated.

After all, he had only experienced a perfect level of growth between scenes, transforming from an ordinary college graduate to a top professional killer.

What about other players who entered the thriller game earlier than him?
They must have gone through many interludes of growth.

Even though there are few opportunities for perfect growth between scenes, the accumulation of multiple low-level growths would probably be extraordinary.

"Don't act rashly. Let's wait until we get into the horror game to have a big fight!"

With this thought in mind, Su Ming loaded the game disc again and began to check for omissions.

Although I have completed the game perfectly, there are still many details in the black town that I have not explored.

Knowing more is naturally a good thing.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Su Ming's eyes narrowed.

The body has entered a state of alert like a conditioned reflex.

Who is outside?

He couldn't figure out who would come to see him. As a game geek who didn't like to communicate with people, he didn't know any of the residents nearby, and he didn't have any friends who would come to visit him. Moreover, he hadn't shopped online or ordered any takeout recently.

In this case, it becomes very intriguing to know who is outside.

Su Ming took a deep breath, and a moderate tension appeared on his face. He looked like a clear-headed college student who had not yet entered the society and had been beaten. This perfectly matched his state before his growth.

A good killer is usually also a professional actor, at least professional enough to avoid letting others know that he is a killer.

Su Ming ran over to open the door, only to see two men in black uniforms standing outside.

Seeing the nervousness and immaturity on Su Ming's face, they smiled kindly: "Don't be nervous, you are Su Ming, right?"

Su Ming nodded: "It's me, you are..."

One of them said, "My name is Zhang Tieshu, and I'm from the official Lucheng Countermeasures Bureau."

"You should be a first-time public beta player, and you have already experienced a horror game, right?"

Su Ming looked a little hesitant, but still nodded and said, "That's right. But how did you know that I was selected for the public beta?"

Zhang Tieshu smiled and said, "This is what our Countermeasures Bureau calculated using big data."

"We are here this time to express our condolences to the new players on behalf of the Countermeasures Bureau. After all, horror games are very cruel, and many players can't stand it when they first enter the game."

"Go and listen if you need any. We can also provide free psychological counseling to help everyone get through the difficult newcomer period."

There is actually such humanistic concern, which seems to be a good policy bureau.

However, Su Ming could guess that this was probably not the entire purpose of these two coming here.

Su Ming: "Indeed, the horror game is very difficult to endure, but I feel that I can still hold on, so psychological treatment is not necessary. Thank you for your concern."

Zhang Tieshu observed Su Ming's mental state and found that it was indeed very stable.

I just experienced a horror game, and it is rare to find players who can do this.

They either showed great excitement, or had uncontrollable fear, or were worried that they had done something wrong in the game.

It seems to be a good seedling.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tieshu asked, "Student Su Ming, do you have any intention of joining the Countermeasures Bureau?"

"Now that the public beta has just started, it is the right time for the Countermeasures Bureau to recruit talents."

"For those who join the Countermeasures Bureau, we can provide professional training, such as combat, survival, special driving, etc. These skills are very useful in horror games."

"Besides that, you can also get points for completing tasks issued by the Countermeasures Bureau. Well, we will also pay out social insurances and housing funds according to certain standards."

Su Ming frowned slightly and seemed to be in deep thought.

In fact, he was just thinking about how to shirk the responsibility appropriately.

If there is no interlude growth, the training provided by the Countermeasures Bureau would still be more attractive to him.

Now that he has grown up during the intermission, joining the Countermeasures Bureau would do him more harm than good.

This would definitely take up a lot of his time to complete the game, and might also attract the attention of other people, which is really not worth it.

Finally, Su Ming shook his head and said, "Forget it. I prefer a freer life."

"If I join the Countermeasures Bureau, I will probably have to carry out missions or something. That's too much trouble."

Zhang Tieshu: "Are you really not going to consider it? Now that the public beta is in its early stages, the Countermeasures Bureau's recruitment requirements should be more lenient."

"If you don't join now, it won't be easy to get in later."

Su Ming still shook his head and chose to refuse.

He was so determined that Zhang Tieshu had no way to force him, so he could only say, "Okay then."

"Let's add each other on WeChat. I'm in charge of this player work."

"If you have any questions later, or if you encounter any difficulties that you cannot solve yourself, you can contact me."

After leaving Su Ming's room, Zhang Tieshu wrote an evaluation for Su Ming on a form: "This player is mentally stable and does not pose any social harm from preliminary observations, but he clearly resists joining the Countermeasures Bureau for unknown reasons."
