Extraordinary Player-Chapter 10: What Will Happen If I Clear the Stage?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Guan jumped a total of eight times according to the ‘standard answer’ before he finally made it to the sixth platform.

It had to be said his efficiency had increased exponentially…

The physical attributes of all the useless people was the same, after all. The only difference between them was the technique they used to exert force. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

Qin Guan knew nothing about them before the trial. He had to rely on himself to slowly figure things out, and it was obvious just how slow his progress was.

Once he got the ‘standard answer’, he only needed to emulate the jumps, and that included the movements, the way to exert his strength, and how much of it he needed. All of that was provided for him in great detail, however. With his top class gaming intellect, there was no way he would not learn it.

Besides, while the ‘standard answer’ jump was one hundred marks, Qin Guan only needed to score sixty to pass.

When he stood on the sixth platform, he lamented, “If I had to figure this out on my own, I wonder how many hundreds of times I would have to fail…”

‘I shouldn’t think about getting high scores now. I’ll just keep going forward.’

Clearly, the difficulty of the jumps at the later stages was higher, so there would definitely be even more challenging tasks ahead. Once he cleared the more difficult stages later on, he could just come back and renew his high scores. He would definitely be able to yield twice the results with half the effort, and he could also save time.

Qin Guan continued on to the seventh platform.

In the beginning, he was still a good teenager who had hopes and dreams. He resisted the urge to look at the history records and tried to rely on his own efforts to test the waters, but this mindset did not last long. Very soon, Qin Guan gave up.

When he reached the thirteenth platform, he did not even try to attempt reaching the platform through his own efforts. He went straight to the history records to look at the standard answer.

“I’m not being a coward, I’m just saving time here…” he comforted himself.

In truth, what he thought was still rather logical. If he continued trying to figure out the way by himself, he would seem to be a man of integrity, but in truth, he would only be wasting his time…

Besides, this was different from copying answers. If he copied answers, he would not need to use his mind at all, but in the trial, even if he jumped according to the standard answer, he still might not be able to make it…

More accurately speaking, Qin Guan was currently doing something similar to practicing martial arts.

Some people did not have masters to teach them and could only read martial arts books and practice the skills blindly. Some might not even have martial arts books and could only practice what they believed was the skill.

Qin Guan not only had a martial arts book, but even one that was written in great detail. In fact, it would even earnestly correct the minor details in his movements. This efficiency could not even be mentioned in the same breath as what he previously did.

Qin Guan was very immersed in his practice, and his house was incredibly quiet. Like that, a few hours passed without his knowledge.

Suddenly, he heard someone open the door with a key.

Qin Guan’s consciousness instantly returned to the real world. When he turned his head around, he saw Su Xiaoyu enter the living room.

“Qin Guan, what’re you doing? You didn’t even switch on the lights…”

Su Xiaoyu switched on the lights in the living room while she changed into her slippers.

Qin Guan was shocked. He looked outside the window, and just as he expected, the world had become completely dark. When he looked at his watch, he found that it was already nine-something.

“You returned after your overtime? Have you eaten dinner? Are you hungry?” Qin Guan asked.

Su Xiaoyu stretched. “Of course I’ve eaten. What time do you think it is?” 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

Qin Guan could only bring out his phone silently and order delivery.

Su Xiaoyu cast him a glance and guessed what he was doing. “You haven’t eaten? I’m seriously beginning to wonder whether you will die of starvation one day…”

Qin Guan rolled his eyes. “I’m clearly training hard, okay? By the way, you should know about the trial as well, right?”

Su Xiaoyu sat down on the couch next to his. “Of course. I’m already at the eightieth-something platform at Medium Mode. I’m great, aren’t I?”

Qin Guan was instantly stunned. “Eighty-something?! Didn’t you say you went to do overtime? You actually have the guts to complain to me that you’re busy?!”

“Overtime? What overtime? Everyone’s busy slacking off.” Su Xiaoyu was high in spirits, not showing any signs of exhaustion from overwork. “All we needed to do was close our eyes while we sat in our seats to pretend we were memorizing our scripts. No one cares whether you’re really working or not.”

Qin Guan exclaimed, “You can do that?!”

He was disappointed, very disappointed!

He originally thought that since Su Xiaoyu went to work, he could push his progress in the trial a little forward so that he could boast to her, but in the end, the brat did not bother to focus on her work!

The moral degeneration of the world was truly getting worse by the day…

However, as the siblings chatted, Qin Guan felt that this was actually very normal. The mobile AI system was truly the divine item for office workers to slack off during work…

Before, when people wanted to play online or mobile games in secret, they had to be constantly wary of their boss or leader who might pass by their place at any moment. They also had to develop the skill of instantly switching to their work documents at a moment’s notice. If they were even one second too slow, they would be caught, and the results would be catastrophic.

There were plenty of people who stored all sorts of non-work related stuff in their office computers, and since their reaction was a little too slow in deleting the files, they caused many tragic cases in the office…

But now? All they needed to do was to sit in their chairs, and their consciousness would slip into the world of trials. They could just use their hair to hide their faces, and no one would know whether they had their eyes opened or closed. Besides, even if someone walked past them, they would notice, and their consciousness would return to the real world. They just needed to make a few clicks with the mouse or type a few words on the keyboard to perfectly fool whoever had just walked by.

With such a good thing happening, who would be serious in their work?

Even Su Xiaoyu, who was a good, responsible worker, slacked off in public. This was truly… Good job, AI!

However, there was one thing Qin Guan did not understand.

“Speaking of which, while I can understand why you slacked off during work because you are also a gamer, what about those who don’t play games? There’s no way jumping around on platforms can attract their attention.”

Su Xiaoyu looked at Qin Guan. “You didn’t surf the net the entire night, huh?”

“Oh…” Qin Guan became lost in thought for a while. “Yeah, I was too immersed in the game…”

Su Xiaoyu cast him a disdainful look before explaining. “Tonight, a group of people managed to clear Medium Mode, which means they reached the 100th platform. Take a guess, what happened to them?”

Qin Guan’s expression filled with shock. “Could it be… their genes changed?”

Su Xiaoyu rolled her eyes. “Nope, but it’s about the same. They noticed that their real bodies became stronger in every aspect. But that’s not all, they could also switch back and forth between their game bodies and real bodies.”

Qin Guan was dumbfounded. ‘There’s this feature as well?’

Su Xiaoyu looked at him calmly. “When my colleagues heard this, they had the same expression as yours. No one believed it.”

Qin Guan’s lips twitched a little. “It’s mainly because this completely overturns scientific reasoning and logic, you know? Switching back and forth between two bodies at will is too mystical of a feature. Doesn’t that mean doctors are about to lose their careers?”

Su Xiaoyu nodded. “I’ve had similar thoughts. But the percentage of people who managed to clear the stage is far too low, and those who cleared Medium Mode are not normal people. Some of them are professional gamers who are basically genii, and some are incredibly talented athletes. There are some who are even martial arts masters, wrestlers, and the like…

“Besides, since there is so few of them, this news is regarded as a half-truth. But the key is, if you ask your mobile AI system, it will tell you that it’s real. As long as you clear the trial in Medium Mode, these are the rewards you will get.”
