(Here, the settlement content is used as an example of the previous settings: the flashlights have batteries, the gun has bullets, and these small items are consumables below the Excellent quality. They do not occupy the number of backpack slots when installed inside tools or equipment. The pipe wrench was not obtained in this script and will not be settled. Items in similar situations will not appear in the settlement menu.)

"The reward for deciphering the worldview is really exaggerated..." Feng Bujue thought to himself, "Not counting that 240, the Technique Value I got in the entire script is only 60 points."

"Brother Jue! You're rich!" Wang Tanzhi shouted excitedly in the team channel, "I actually leveled up directly to Level 10! I got more than 20,000 Game Coins too!"

Hearing this, Feng Bujue's instinctive reaction was to calculate that Little Tan's Technique Value gained this time was above sixty and below one hundred and fifty. He replied, "I saw it, the team list shows the levels." He also saw Long Aotian's friend request, and while clicking accept, he said, "Don't forget to accept Brother Long's friend request."

"Yeah, I already clicked accept." Wang Tanzhi replied, "You invite him to the team."

After a few simple operations, Long Aotian's voice appeared in the communication channel: "Yo, your levels doubled, Brother Feng is already Level 11." His current level was the same as Feng Bujue's, also Level 11.

Someone must be asking, why did this situation occur? Let's take a look at Feng Bujue's character details so far:

Game Nickname: Feng Bujue, Level: 11, Experience: 135011000.

Technique Value: 430, Game Coins: 51500.

Specializations: General F, Mechanical F, Investigation F, Combat F, Shooting F.

Backpack 710: Mario's Pipe Wrench, Eye of Hatred, Western-style Kitchen Knife, Baseball Bat, Flashlight*2, M1911A1 Pistol.

Login Space 130: Jigsaw Puzzle Piece: Monkey.

Everyone has seen his experience points, that's right, the experience required to level up from 11 to 12 is 11000, not 1100.

In Thriller Paradise, the experience required to level up changes in a stepped manner every ten levels. From level 1 to 2 requires 100, then 2 to 3 requires 200, and so on. From level 10 to 11 requires 1000, and then, when the player reaches level 11, they will suddenly see an astonishing leap.

In addition to the 1500 experience for completing the script and the 1200 point bonus, Long Aotian also had over one hundred and seventy Technique Value (the Technique Value accumulated during combat is sometimes accurate to single digits). The settlement after completing the script also gave him nearly four thousand five experience, but when he leveled up to 11, he was shocked to see that he was still seven or eight thousand experience short of level 12.

The two exchanged information, and then told Wang Tanzhi about the experience situation after level 11. Then, Long Aotian was the first to remember to ask, "By the way, what are your titles?"

Feng Bujue replied casually, "Cold-Blooded Headshot Maniac."

"Uh..."

The other two were speechless, resulting in a brief silence.

A few seconds later, Wang Tanzhi chuckled and commented, "Actually, this system is quite reasonable. Basically, in that script just now, all your attacks were headshots... and you behaved very cold-bloodedly."

"What about your title? Screaming Rich Kid?" Feng Bujue immediately retorted.

"How could there be a 'Rich Kid' title in the game!"

"That's true... Rich Kid is a race, not a profession." Feng Bujue continued.

"My title is \[Flustered Sneak Attacker]..." Wang Tanzhi was too lazy to continue arguing with him, so he quickly stated his title.

Feng Bujue pondered: "Hmm... to indicate a panicked mental state and a combat level that cannot face the enemy head-on... this system is spot on."

"Is this a needle? It should be a knife, right? This kind of title will be despised by strangers!" Wang Tanzhi said.

"There's not much difference. Strangers will either start despising you the moment they see the title, or start despising you from the moment you let out your first helpless and meaningless scream..." Feng Bujue said.

"Haha..." Long Aotian smiled, trying to smooth things over, "Actually, Brother Wang, you don't need to worry too much. Titles can change after each script is completed. After finishing that one just now, my title changed. Now it's \[Squad Defender]."

The three of them chatted for a while. Long Aotian said that he had been online for quite a while and was going to log off to rest for a few hours, and would log into the sleep mode channel in the early morning. Wang Tanzhi didn't want to play today and didn't plan to go online again tonight. Including the newbie tutorial, he had already played four scripts in a row, and continuing would be self-torture. Feng Bujue also said that he would log off after taking the settlement items. It wasn't that he was too tired to play, but that he was consciously controlling his level.

The level cap for the closed beta is 20. For non-professional players, there is no need to rush to level up too quickly. When the number of players reaching this level exceeds 10% of the total number of closed beta players, the closed beta will end, followed by the server shutdown, and then the public beta will be launched after the system is fully upgraded to the official version.

Thriller Paradise has already attracted a large number of game studios. As mentioned earlier, on the afternoon of the first day of the closed beta, Feng Bujue was able to find guides written by some level 10+ players on the forum. Obviously, most of these articles came from members of professional game studios. These people are professionals, playing games with a plan and division of labor. For this type of game, it must be two shifts. One group starts the sleep mode directly from eight in the morning, while the other group works hard in non-sleep mode, and then they switch shifts in the evening...

According to the relevant legal clauses of 2055, game pods have strict restrictions on players' online time. The real time for logging into a nerve-linked game in non-sleep mode cannot exceed ten hours. In sleep mode, due to the 1:10 time ratio, the connected real time must never exceed eight hours, and a general recommended value is less than four hours. If both modes reach the time limit within twenty-four hours, the connection will be forcibly disconnected, and you will have to wait until the next twenty-four hours to go online.

In other words, a person can play a nerve-linked game for a total of eighteen hours a day, ten hours in a conscious state and eight hours in a sleep state. This is the limit. Changing game pods is useless, and all nerve-linked networks will no longer accept the citizen's ID number. This is stipulated by law, mainly for the health of users. In the early days of the invention of nerve-linked games, there were some people who stayed connected all the time except for eating and going to the toilet. They basically ended up with sudden death or irreversible brain damage. Of course, this cannot be blamed on the game pods or the game, because as early as half a century ago, in the era when the fourth-generation computer was still popular, there were many people who died suddenly in Internet cafes. Who can be blamed for this?

After saying goodbye to Little Tan and Brother Long, he ended the communication and disbanded the team. Feng Bujue opened the elevator door and turned to enter the equipment collection space.

Two glass pillars still appeared in the room. Inside the glass pillar on the left, an item was already suspended. Presumably that was the gift from the Time Lord. If he hadn't achieved the ending of sealing the Demon Gate earlier, this reward would naturally not exist.

Feng Bujue first stored one of the two flashlights in his backpack into the login space, changing the backpack capacity to 6/10, and then went to take the item. During this time, he glanced at the special ability granted to him by the title in the menu. This ability was displayed above the skill bar and did not occupy the skill bar.

【Name: Concussion】

【Ability Type: Passive】

【Effect: When attacking the target's head with a blunt weapon, there is a 30% chance to stun them for two seconds】

【Note: It doesn't matter if you can't blow it up with one hit, keep at it, it's just a head.】

The special ability of this title is not bad. Anyway, it's passive and doesn't consume stamina. When fighting low-level monsters, it should be very useful in conjunction with \[Mario's Pipe Wrench]. However, when encountering powerful monsters, non-humanoid monsters, incorporeal ghosts, or bosses... then there probably won't be any chance for Feng Bujue to use a blunt weapon to strike the target's head.

Feng Bujue quickly walked to the first glass pillar, inside which was suspended a small glass bottle containing half a bottle of sand.

【Name: Slow Quicksand】

【Type: Consumable】

【Quality: Excellent】

【Effect: Break the container to slow down the speed of all monsters within a 100-meter radius by ten times for one minute】

【Note: This bottle contains some low-quality Time Dust. If you are besieged by a large group of monsters, a bottle like this might help you escape.】

"This is indeed a valuable consumable with strategic value. Do Little Tan and Brother Long each have a bottle as well..." Feng Bujue muttered, and came to the second glass pillar.

【Please select your additional reward: 1. Randomly draw a piece of equipment corresponding to your level, 2. 50,000 Game Coins (maximum), 3. 4400 experience points】

At level 11, the value of this Fear Rating is undoubtedly reflected. Among the three options given by "Dauntless", the maximum Game Coins are 50,000, and the equipment is not to be mentioned for the time being. That "40% of the current upgrade experience limit" is now too powerful.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Feng Bujue's illness doesn't get better, he only needs to experience two scripts at any level and successfully survive to basically level up.

But precisely because of this, Feng Bujue didn't want to choose experience even more. He was really a little worried that his eternally unchanging Fear Value would attract the attention of the game company, and be considered as cheating or something, so he would try to keep a low profile as much as possible. Anyway, he didn't want to level up too quickly anyway.

So, he chose equipment again. Although he doesn't lack weapons at hand now, both ranged and melee, he lacks in defense. He hoped to draw a reliable piece of armor.
