Chapter 9：Please Reload Your Cash (2/2)
Wei Huo believed that players would be swarming into that place, scrambling over each other once they discovered it when time recovered. One by one, they would wait for their turn to play the minigame. The gap between players would be pulled apart as the minigame's mark would decide the degree of completion when inheriting Qi Cultivation skills. In turn, the Europeans and Pros would have a wide gap of separation from Africans and Noobs. If the Africans and Noobs do not want to fall behind, they would have to reload cash!
That was the first time Wei Huo felt something's fishy. Was God really the one behind this Earth's gamification? Will those who recovered from the time halt really become players of the game?
It was all Wei Huo's guess at that point as God did not say anything.
No matter what, Wei Huo had to speed up his progress. He tapped the start button, and the puzzle game began!
”The time limit is 60 seconds. Scores accumulated within the time limit will decide on the inheritance completion level for the rare Qi Cultivation Scrolls. The game will start in three seconds. Three... Two... One... Start!”
Wei Huo kept his eye on the ball as the marks accumulated would decide his degree of completion for the inheritance of the Qi Cultivator's Rare Scrolls. Whether he could increase his lifespan would also be dependent on the rare scrolls. Otherwise, when the time halt ends, he might already be dead!
Although he put in all his effort, puzzle games were not his specialty. He only managed to gain a little over 2000 points after 60 seconds.
Soon after, another notification popped up. ”According to the Player's accumulated scores, you have been awarded a Qi Cultivator's Rare Scroll inheritance with a 35% completion rate. Would you like to replay the game?”
Wei Huo was speechless. ”…”
'You can f*cking replay the game?'
Wei Huo let out a deep breath feeling relieved. 'Do you think I will give up that easily before I reach 100%?'
Wei Huo immediately tapped the 'Replay' button. In the next second, a dialog box popped up on the jade gate.
”Replaying the game requires 90 Magical Stones. You have not met the requirements for replaying the game. Please reload your cash.”
Wei Huo was speechless. ”…”
'D*mn you! So I have to reload my cash!'
Just then Wei Huo started wondering again, 'What are Magical Stones?'
Another notification popped up on the jade gate. ”Are you willing to accept the inheritance? Please take note that the inheritance can only take place once!”
Wei Huo did not have any other better options. 'What can I do? I am very desperate too but I don't have any Magical Stones!'
He tapped on the accept button, and right then the jade door was opened!
The place oozed a mystical and magical aura. Inside the door, rays of light were shining through the colorful fog. The area was occupied by numerous decorated jade palaces. Cries of the red-crowned crane filled his ears every so often, and white deers would hop across streams. Immortals were sitting in their residences.
A magical voice suddenly resounded through the area.
”Pay 49 Magical Stones for a 1% increase of inheritance completion rate, or 81 Magical Stones for a 3% increase of inheritance completion rate.”
Wei Huo was speechless. ”…”
'What is this? Is this some Daoism chant? No wonder it was always 49 and 81 in Daoism chants.'
Wei Huo was dejected. He wanted to purchase the completion rate, but he had no Magical Stones!
It was then that Wei Huo realized the in-game purchase system was not created yet. Players still could not make in-app purchases. This game was not well developed enough!
