Extraordinary Player-Chapter 30: Social Interaction Platform

Qin Guan swung his elbow in disdain. “Let go of me…”

Xiao Qiang didn’t let things slide. “You told me that you’re very slow in completing the trial, and look what happened. Even the people from the Parapsychology Association can’t fight back against you. And you said you didn’t know martial arts?!”

The other people’s gazes on Qin Guan had also become different when they looked at him. Clearly, what happened on the stage had left behind a very deep impression in their minds.

In fact, some of the students from the other departments had already began asking who the half-naked boy who fought against Du Wei in a tattered pair of shorts was…

The students from the faculty of arts regarded Qin Guan at that moment. Their gazes made it clear that they shared one thought: ‘I didn’t expect that someone as honest as you would also learn to lie about your abilities to show off! I’m looking down on you! I’m Looking Down on you with a capital L and D!’

This was because all of them knew that Qin Guan was originally not on the namelist and had only joined their ranks later on. And he was actually this strong?

It was clear that he had pretended to be bad at the trial!

Of course, no one knew just how strong Qin Guan was. After all, they could not see Du Wei’s level and attributes. They only saw Du Wei allow Qin Guan to hit him, which the student had done with extremely fast movements. They saw nothing else.

However, it was enough to know that Qin Guan was actually very strong, and everything before this was a lie…

Qin Guan groaned and swore in his heart. ‘What can I do? I’m also feeling great despair, you know? I was just trying to coordinate with him!’

…

Qin Guan walked out with Xiao Qiang, and by pure coincidence, they ran into Su Xiaoyu.

Xiao Qiang gave Su Xiaoyu a respectful nod. “Hello, senior sister!”

Soon after the trio went out of the lecture block, Xiao Qiang found himself an excuse and left. The brother and sister went back home.

Qin Guan found that he had nothing to say. His former dormmates might call him brother-in-law all the time, and they even did so with gusto, but when they saw Su Xiaoyu, they would immediately cower. They would call her senior sister, not daring to say anything else.

After all, Su Xiaoyu’s demeanor of the ultimate top student made it hard for strangers to approach her.

It was especially so for Xiao Qiang. Qin Guan had a strong suspicion that he and his other dormmates did not actually harbor any improper thoughts towards Su Xiaoyu even though they called him brother-in-law. They just wanted to cotton up to him.

… Hang on, why did that thought make things sound so gay?

Qin Guan chatted with Su Xiaoyu. Just as he expected, she had also entered the official class. Not that there was any doubt about it in the first place.

While the two of them had signed the non-disclosure agreement, there was no need for them to keep it a secret between them. They could talk about these topics as they liked as long as they did not let any passersby hear it.

However, when Su Xiaoyu heard that Qin Guan was chosen to enter the official class, she found it inconceivable, because her brother had not even completed the second trial yet…

Once they returned home, Qin Guan took a bath and continued striving to get those 3,000 points.

What happened that day motivated him greatly. Du Wei could not keep up to him even though he was a few levels higher, making it clear that Qin Guan’s training was effective.

While the Developer’s Difficulty Level mode kept making Qin Guan suffer in every single way possible, such ordeals weren’t in vain. When he thought about it carefully, he knew that his real progress far surpassed that of the others.

Of course, the greatest contributor to his success was the mysterious pro in the history records. Qin Guan only needed to imitate his movements and try to get 60% of it down. Just by getting his movements up to that extent, he would already improve greatly.

If he managed to managed to get 100% completion rate, would he not be violating the laws of earth?

It was a terrifying thought.

…

During the next three days, besides practicing Map of Trials 2, the only other thing Qin Guan did was go to the Transcended Gamer Forum to see whether there were any new posts.

What surprised him slightly was that there were no threads about the Parapsychology Association.

This did not quite make sense, because this forum was created by the system. It was not controlled by the Parapsychology Association.

Its people could delete threads online, but the forum existed in the AIs within everyone’s minds. It was impossible for them to delete the threads here.

All Transcended Gamers could login and post threads on this forum.

All the players also had anonymous status, so they could not be detected.

The Parapsychology Association could not control the forum, much less bring it under its jurisdiction.

This meant that even if the people who were present in the meeting divulged the secret regarding the Parapsychology Association to the forum, they would not bear any sort of risk.

Yet there was not a single thread about the Parapsychology Association. This could only lead to one explanation: the forum itself deleted all threads related to this matter.

The system might believe that such information was unrelated to the forum, or perhaps it did not want the players to learn of this information through it.

Qin Guan took some time to cast a glance at the other regions in other languages, but there was also no discussions or mentions about any unique organizations similar to the Parapsychology Association. It made it clear that the forum treated all related topics the same way.

Up till then, most of the threads on the forum still talked about how the players could clear the trial, how they should choose their characters, how they should choose their weapons, and other things related to the trials.

“What a single-minded forum…” Qin Guan could not help but sigh with emotion. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

He had a feeling that ever since the discs appeared, there was an invisible hand that moved the world along and promoted all the changes in it.

…

Once the meeting on Sunday night was over, Du Wei created an official chat group and added Qin Guan as well as the others who cleared the second trial in Medium Mode in it.

Right after, the mobile AIs systems launched a new function.

[Social Interaction Platform]

All Transcended Gamers could add each other as friends on that platform and even create their own chat groups. They could also freely choose between voice messages or text messages to communicate with each other.

Based on what Su Xiaoyu said, the other people’s social interaction platform could be controlled by their voices through their mobile AI systems. When it came to text messages and chat records, they saw them in the corner of their vision.

Many people found it rather new and strange. The Transcended Gamers who were also friends in reality quickly added each other on the social interaction platform. They also abandoned using the social media platforms on their phones to a certain degree.

However, this social interaction platform was only open to the Transcended Gamers who had cleared Jump!! in Medium Mode. It was a unique service belonging to a small group of people.

So while Du Wei cursed in his heart, he deleted the chat group he had just created.

He then created a new chat group on the social interaction platform with his mobile AI system, added the people in the group again, and felt that his mobile AI system was blatantly going against him…

Almost everyone was surprised by the appearance of the social interaction platform. Only Qin Guan was indifferent towards it.

‘Yup, I’m no longer surprised by such things…’

His social interaction platform still operated through UI alone. There was a [Social Interaction] icon within his field of vision, and once he clicked on it, he saw a page layout similar to those of chat softwares. His friends were all shown to him in the form of icons…

If other people wanted to talk privately to their friends, they could tell their mobile AI systems their friends’ names, and they could call via voice dial. Only Qin Guan still needed to go through his contact list and call his friends by clicking on the call button.

He cursed in his heart. Even though the system had launched a new function for him, it maintained its previous style of operation—making its user do things manually and be self-sufficient…

Qin Guan received some new information from Du Wei from the chat group.

In truth, the information he gave was not really a secret, but there was still a slight difference in learning sooner compared to later.

Based on what Du Wei said, the target of the Parapsychology Association was not just the Transcended Gamers in universities and high schools, but also all the working members of the society.

As for elementary school students, they were ignored, because up to that moment, even the students with the best performance had not cleared Jump!! in Medium Mode. Any one of them had yet to obtain the status of a Transcended Gamer.

Once Qin Guan pondered over this, he had a sudden feeling that the child he had previously tutored belonged to the group of elementary school students who were considered the most talented among all children…

The Parapsychology Association also had different measures towards Transcended Gamers with different statuses.

The treatment of university students and members of the society were completely different.
