Chapter 206 - Game Difficulty Adjustment! (1/2)

In the sky.

The sky was blue and the clouds were so close that they could be touched just by stretching out one’s hand.

With her body leaning to the side, Dong Shanshan had already fallen asleep.

Zhang Ye looked out of the window with narrow eyes. He was feeling some sense of regret. He felt some longing for this city that he had lived for almost 20 years having left it. But so what if he felt some longing for it? The path of a celebrity was destined to be lonely. It was cold up at the top!

The journey was more than halfway done.

The stewardess pushed a cart of beverages over. Alas, that was all the treatment they received in economy cla.s.s.

Zhang Ye did not let the stewardess bother Dong Shanshan. He knew that the school belle was tired. Hence, he requested for a gla.s.s of fruit juice to be placed on his tray table. He asked for a gla.s.s of Coca-Cola, and began gulping it down.

So bored.

What should I do?

The road ahead in Shanghai would be fraught with difficulties. That place was inferior to Beijing. Zhang Ye’s popularity there was low and even when he walked on the street without sungla.s.ses, there will probably be less than half a person who could recognize him amongst a thousand people. This was new ground. He had to begin all over again. Therefore, Zhang Ye definitely needed the help from the game ring. Only then could he absolutely shock everyone in his new position as a web host.

Let’s play the lottery.

He looked at his Reputation points. It was about 700,000 points.

Zhang Ye sighed. This amount of Reputation was too pathetic. He could not even buy one Taiji fist skillbook. These were obtained from his “Zhang Ye’s Compilation” book and movie’s publicity. Of course, it also came from the sales of his “Ghost Blows Out the Light” book and the “Lecture Room” videos on the web. Although it had been a while since these productions were made, they were still cla.s.sic. They kept providing him a stream of reputation. There were new people, who previously did not know him, getting to know him everyday. Uh, just that those numbers were decreasing by the day.

The lottery interface appeared.

He clicked to buy and did not look forward to it. It was after all just for fun. He did not mind choosing something he did not need. If he managed to draw a useful item or skill, he would have made it big.

Ding!

The lottery began!

The needle quickly rotated!

Zhang Ye stared at a few large regions on the wheel. Although he wished to obtain something from the special region, it was just a dream. He had gotten lucky previously by obtaining the right to buy the Taiji fist skill books; now, it was unlikely he would be that lucky.

The needle stopped.

It stopped on a consumable item region.

Zhang Ye was neither sad nor happy. He reduced his range of motion to prevent others from noticing. He slowly took out the Treasure Chest (Small) from his inventory. He opened it!

There was a small dice inside!

It was six-sided, no different from an ordinary dice!

[Difficulty Adjustment Die] : After it is thrown, it will randomly change the player's difficulty. The period of its effects are random.

Zhang Ye was surprised. Difficulty adjustment? It was not something unfamiliar to people who played games. For example in a single-player game, upon entering the game, it would allow you to choose the difficulty. Such as “easy” difficulty, etc. This dice also had such an effect? But it was by random chance? If he were to really obtain a “very-easy” difficulty, and the period lasted a year, then wouldn’t his work for the next year be many times easier than normal? Difficulty can be reduced? Zhang Ye looked at the great school belle beside him. He was guessing that pus.h.i.+ng her onto a bed would also not be a dream?

This is a good thing!

It is a heaven-defying divine item!

Zhang Ye quickly took out the dice from the treasure chest. The treasure chest automatically disappeared after s.h.i.+mmering with light. Zhang Ye looked all over the dice. There were words on the six sides of the dice. They were, Decreasing Difficulty By 10x, Decreasing Difficulty By 5x, Decreasing Difficulty By 1x, Increasing Difficulty By 1x, Increasing Difficulty By 5x, Increasing Difficulty By 10x. The first one was naturally the difficulty of “very-easy” in those games. One could pick up money even with their eyes closed. As for the last difficulty, it was most likely the legendary “ludicrous difficult”, where calamities befell one.

Let’s risk it!

Demacia! (Bravery here we go!)

The chance of reducing the difficulty was equal to the chance of increasing the difficulty. They both had a 50% chance. Zhang Ye did not believe his luck was that bad. Hence, without much thought, he grabbed the dice and threw it up gently. The dice drew a beautiful arc in the air and it flew and flew. It finally stopped before it began to slowly drop down!

Bada!

The dice fell to the floor!

It rolled around a few times on the plane before firmly staying put. Zhang Ye looked at it with excitement. On the “Difficulty Adjustment Die” wrote a few words.

Increasing Difficulty By 10x!

Zhang Ye nearly fainted as he almost vomited blood!

What the f**k! Can we stop messing around!? Stop messing around!

The game system indication appeared:

[ Difficulty has been adjusted. Increasing Ten Times Difficulty. Lasting for 52 minutes! ]

The time had also randomly appeared to be more than 50 minutes? Zhang Ye was scared out of his wits. He felt that he was not just unlucky today. All the bad luck in his past eight lives had fallen unto him!

Curse my hand!
