The extra game was actually very straightforward. Unlike Zhang Heng, not everyone would spend a year and a half in the game. Most would simply use that time to pick up new skills as their ranks were still not that high. So, the extra game was a good opportunity for them to continue improving their skills.

But then again, 500 game points were simply too costly. Zhang Heng had gone through three rounds of games, yet he had only just broken through the hundred points ceiling. That meant that it would take him at least ten rounds to gather that many. If there was no other way to acquire those game points, very few people would be able to afford this product.

However, that wasn’t even the most expensive thing on the list. Zhang Heng kept scrolling and spotted an item that cost 800 game points – a Mission Failure Exemption Card.

As its name suggested, this little card allowed its holder to escape punishment if they failed a mission.

Presently, Zhang Heng had successfully pa.s.sed all three games. The first and third game’s main mission was survival. If he failed, he would die – a mission failure exemption card would be useless in such a situation. But for games like Tokyo Drift, Zhang Heng had no clue as to what kind of punishment the players would receive if they did not complete the mission.

If he had enough points, getting one of those cards sounded like a good idea.

Zhang Heng also saw something called the ‘No.137 Permanent Game Point Members.h.i.+p Card’ at the bottom of the page. This one was priced at an eye-watering 999 game points, an item that seemed particularly suspicious.

According to the bartender lady, players with the members.h.i.+p card could enjoy a 20% discount when they spent their game points at checkpoints. Whether this was a good bargain or not, was all up to the players themselves to determine.

Zhang Heng did not see a single game item in this long list. Other than the Extra Game and Mission Failure Exemption Card, the items on the list were real tangible things that existed in the physical world. The penguins, for example, were hard to acquire for most people living on earth. It required only one game point and even included free s.h.i.+pping, which was frankly a fantastic bargain.

Of course, whether anyone would actually buy them in the first place was another question altogether.

…

A week pa.s.sed in a blink of an eye, and the end of the term was drawing near. The whole school was filled with students who only studied at the last minute. Hence, the library had recently become a hive of activity, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with students every day. The queue to the library had now extended to the entrance of the canteen, and this forced Zhang Heng to alter his routine.

He would go to the gym and the archery range during the day, then wait it out until midnight. When the world had come to a halt, only would he make himself a cup of coffee and study in the empty library.

Zhang Heng rarely skipped cla.s.ses. Except for that time when he missed roll call for English cla.s.s, he was mostly a diligent student, putting him out of danger of failing his subjects. However, since he had spent such a long time in the game, he had forgotten many things and it was necessary for him to review them.
