Extraordinary Player-Chapter 40: You Have Been Removed from the Group

Qin Guan called out to the system for a long while, but it did not respond to him. He then reluctantly came out of the world in his mind.

He had to admit, it was very easy to get addicted to opening the chests and using Lottery Tickets to get rewards…

Qin Guan habitually cast a glance at the forum and noticed that it had been thrown into chaos.

Based on the comments on the ranking board and the posts in the threads, all the players were very alarmed, for they had absolutely no idea what had happened…

[Huh? We can now change our characters and weapons!]

[YES! This mobile AI system is too kind! I knew a long time ago that it had this function!]

[What character are you thinking of using? Athlete? Student?]

[Nonsense, I’m definitely changing to the useless person character! Did you even see the pro at first place on the ranking boards? Is there even a need to mention just which character is the best to play the game with at this point?]

[Oh gosh! I didn’t notice it just now, but the pro reached the top again! He also conquered the third ranking board…]

[Wait, what’s with the name for the ranking board? If You’re a Man, Last for Five Seconds? Is it supposed to be mocking us this much?]

[Oh gosh! The pro using the useless person character is terrifying! He actually cleared up the trial up to Crazy Mode in one go? The ranking board refreshes once every thirty minutes, which means that he actually spent just thirty minutes to clear Hard, Despair, and Crazy Mode?!]

[This is… The person in second place just cleared Medium Mode. This difference is…]

[I knew it! The useless person character is the best starting character! Say no more, I’m going to switch to the useless person character now!]

[Hey, why didn’t the pro put up his holographic video for the third trial? Hurry up and upload it, I want to see what shield he uses.]

[Are you dumb? The shield is bound to your character. If you switch to the useless person character, you’ll know which shield the pro uses.]

[Huh? We can change our names on the forum now! But we need to spend Talismans for it… What’s this Talisman thing?]

[Strange. Why does it feel like the previous two trials have become more difficult? It has definitely become harder, right? It’s not a figment of my imagination, right?]

[Why did the difficulty change?! Can it be that after a period of time, the difficulty for the trials will increase on its own? Is the system telling us to hurry up and make the best use of our time?]

[Please don’t! If they do this, doesn’t it mean that the heavens have abandoned me?!]

There was too much information. The players were vehemently discussing everything that had happened on the forum. But since several things had happened at the same time, they did not know what they should talk about first…

The main topic the people settled on in time was centered around using the useless person as a starting character.

The pro going by Useless Person on the forum had managed to place first in all three ranking boards, and he cleared Crazy Mode, which was the highest level of difficulty, for all three trials. There was even a great difference between his score and the ones in second place.

But his most amazing feat was the third trial. He managed to come ahead of the one in second place by three levels of difficulty…

Qin Guan would have liked to say that he was actually ahead by four levels of difficulty, but the forum could only support up to Crazy Mode…

In the beginning, everyone believed that the useless person was a completely worthless starting character, but once they saw the pro, they knew that this had to mean that there was some sort of unique, sophisticated way to play this character!

This was a phenomenon that happened in many games. The players would usually follow the trend and play the class used by the top player in the game, because this meant that the class had a very high upper limit!

However, they did not know that some classes were very expensive, and they were the classes that would only become stronger when the players spent real cash on them…

Qin Guan’s heroic bearing when he swung the fruit knife in Fruit Cutter had also attracted many players to switch to the fruit knife.

They could not change their weapon before, but now that this function was activated, many players chose to switch.

Regardless of whether it were players who had started the game with athletes, students, office workers, or other classes, once they saw the holographic video of the top player, they felt that their starting characters were very weak!

Hence, four to five hours later, numerous useless people showed up on the ranking board, and their population nearly caught up to that of athletes, though the latter remained as the largest group…

When other people saw that many players had switched to the useless person character, they knew that this was the trend, and they would definitely not make any mistakes if they followed the trend!

Besides, plenty of useless people had made it to the ranking board, so did it not mean that the useless person character was indeed quite good?

But if they used their heads and thought carefully, they would know that the reason behind why there were so many useless people on the ranking board right then was because the people on the ranking boards had also switched their characters…

They had been on the ranking board even before switching…

Of course, there were some players who had chosen the useless person character from the start and tried their hardest to fight their way into the ranking board over the past few days, but those were few and far in between…

As the people on the ranking boards and forums decided to follow the trend en masse, the storm brought by the useless people grew larger.

In truth, many of the players who ranked high on the ranking board regretted their actions after they switched to the useless person character. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

What the heck was this?!

The strength is too weak! The character’s physical attributes are absolute garbage!

However, the system only provided them with the function to change their characters. It did not provide them with the function to test the character or back out of their choice.

If they were displeased with the useless person character, they would have to wait for three months before they could switch back…

However, no one knew about this. When they saw that more and more useless people appeared on the ranking board, they thought that the effects brought by the useless person character were great…

All of them collectively chose to ignore the fact that once they completed the switch, they could not regret their actions…

In the beginning, many people thought that the problem lay in them not being used to the body, so after using it for some time, they would be able to bring out its true potential.

However, after trying to adapt to the body for a few hours, they still felt that it was very weak…

But it was now impossible for them to back out of using the useless person character. Within the short few hours, many people had fallen into the trap…

[Is there any pro who can tell me how exactly I’m supposed to play using the useless person character? I can’t even clear Jump!! in Medium Mode now!]

[I’m the same! Why does it feel like this body is very difficult to use? And this fruit knife is even worse, it’s too short! Am I using it wrong or something?]

[I’m figuring it out myself, but I feel like the pro definitely has his own reasons for doing so. I’m going to watch the pro’s video and try to study him carefully.]

While many people were fooled, they did not think that using the useless person character was impossible. They simply felt that they had not found the right way to play the character.

This was similar to playing games. When people saw pros use incredibly cool characters to execute brilliant moves, they would choose to play those characters, but when they played them, they would find that their controls were absolute garbage. At that moment, they would not complain that their characters were weak. They would only think that they did not know how to play the characters.

Right then, there was a pro who ranked first in all three ranking boards while using the useless person character. Most of the players who had to suffer after they switched to the useless person still harbored hope that as long as they worked hard, they would definitely be able to reach the pro’s level someday…

…

Qin Guan exited the forum feeling like he had nothing to say about this situation.

“Why does it feel like I’ve caused some completely unexpected situations through a mistake brought by absolutely random circumstances?”

Qin Guan had not expected that his actions would cause the useless person character to become one of the most popular characters on the ranking board.

That was not his intention at all…

Besides, when he considered the demonstration effect brought by the ranking board, he knew that there were definitely numerous normal players who had switched to the useless person character. In fact, they might even be too numerous to count.

A normal character that no one chose in the beginning had actually turned into a popular character…

Qin Guan was suddenly a little scared. He felt as if he had just caused a huge problem.

But when he thought about it from another angle, he found that this was actually very good. There were very few people who used the useless person character before, so the risk of him exposing himself was very high!

But now, everyone followed the trend and played the useless person character, which meant that he had become much safer!

As for whether he would feel guilty? f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

Absolutely not! His conscience was even jumping in joy!

While Qin Guan thought of this, he suddenly received a message. It was from Du Wei; he just sent a message to the official class’ chat group.

[The meeting tomorrow has been postponed. The specific time will be notified later.]

[Why is it postponed? Did you run into any unexpected circumstances?] someone asked gingerly.

Du Wei replied in a very resigned manner. [As if you don’t know why it was postponed? Your progress in the third trial is so slow. You’re all stuck at the fourth second, so how are we supposed to hold the meeting like this?]

[Did you clear the trial then?] Qin Guan asked curiously.

Du Wei was silent for two seconds before he used a system notification to answer Qin Guan.

[You have been removed from the group.]
