Chapter 1 Recent Events

June 20th, 0:05 AM. Feng Bujue logged into the game in sleep mode. He...

Eh? What did you say? What about the continuation of the last chapter? Oh, that... what happened from the afternoon to the evening of June 19th will be shown through flashbacks later, so let's not talk about it here for now.

Let's turn our attention back to the game. Speaking of Feng Bujue... alright, alright, put your middle finger down, adjust your expression, and read the book properly.

To get back to the point...

The first thing Feng Bujue did upon arriving in the login space was still to clear his email.

Recently, the number of strange and inexplicable harassment emails he received every day had basically stabilized in the range of twenty to thirty. It seemed that this situation would not change in the short term.

To this, Feng Bujue was quite gratified...

Another thing worth mentioning was that many new names had been added to his friend list.

This was unavoidable... In this game where you enter scripts through random queues, expanding your social circle was inevitable. For example, Feng Bujue knew Long Aomin and Seven Kills, so when he played with these two, he was likely to encounter other members of Saber. After playing together once or twice... after playing two scripts together, people would add each other as friends out of politeness, and Brother Jue naturally couldn't refuse.

As another example, Brother Jue also knew Kuang Zongjianying, Xu Huai Shang, Meng Jingchan, Shiva, Honghu, and so on...

Although some of these people weren't even added as friends by Brother Jue, they could still contact Feng Bujue through various channels... After all, the circle of "top players" was only so big, about fifty people at most, and you could find anyone if you went around in circles.

And so... Feng Bujue's friend list gradually grew. Unknowingly, there were more and more IDs in his social tab, and almost all of them were top-tier experts... a lineup that could be described as luxurious (of course, there were also guys like Atobe mixed in).

Who would have thought... a weirdo with social anxiety had now become the player with the widest network of contacts in Thriller Paradise. He knew a large group of star-level high players, knew the leaders of the two Derivative organizations, and even knew various high-ranking existences in the main universe...

Regardless of whether they were friends or foes, being able to get to this point was indeed a skill...

…………

"Ah... I've been busy improving my strength lately, and haven't had any good entertainment." After finishing his emails, Feng Bujue stretched in front of the display screen and muttered, "I'll take some time to play by myself now..."

Brother Jue had agreed to meet his teammates at 1:00 AM. He logged in fifty-five minutes early because he wanted to play a solo script.

It had to be said... humans were truly contradictory creatures.

When they were young, they always looked forward to growing up, but when they grew up, they always missed their childhood. When they were studying, they wanted to work, and when they were working, they wanted to study. When they were single, they wanted to get married, and when they were married, they wanted to be single...

Even Feng Bujue was no exception to this. His current situation was... when playing solo Nightmare scripts, he wanted to go to ordinary team scripts to be a bystander, and after playing ordinary team scripts too much, he felt that solo Nightmare was more fun.

"Hmm... Barefoot Karate is about to reach level four." Feng Bujue operated on the touchscreen while thinking about what he could take care of in the script, "I'm still missing two puzzle cards for the 'Zodiac' combination..."

Hearing him mumble, the information obtained was limited, so let's take a direct look at Brother Jue's latest status:

So let's summarize...

Over the past week, Brother Jue's character attributes had undergone the following changes: he had leveled up to level forty-six; spent one million game coins to expand his inventory to twenty slots; and his Machinery, Investigation, Sorcery, and Summoning specializations had each increased by one level.

In terms of items: he had obtained (through the exchange) three new puzzle cards with the theme of the Zodiac; the Demon Remote Spiritual Pivot had been consumed as the key to opening the reverse world; only the last piece of ***-500 remained, and the number of Bane's Blood had also decreased by two; Ms. Moxxi's Bad Temper, Jazz Dance, and the Implanted Alchemy Amplification Device had all been swallowed by the Zero-Type Magic Grinder.

The above are the changes that can be seen at a glance...

And finally, what needs to be emphasized is undoubtedly his new equipment and new skills...
