Li Changhe spent a lot of time on the [forum], confirming several pieces of information.
First, there were many [Players], both humans and other intelligent beings. Like the harpy that Li Changhe had just killed.
Second, the power. [Players]' powers were broadly divided into three types, one of which were official organizations of various countries like [Great Wall], [Black Palace] and so on. They were all supported by the machinery of an entire country. Countless think tanks were strategizing for them, they were formidable with the nation behind them. However, they had hardly any freedom in return.
The second type were organizations or groups formed by [players]. Compared with [Great Wall], they were like private enterprises. But the reputation of these organizations was not so good. On the forum, many [players] were threatened or hunted after being discovered by these private organizations. They had no choice but to join official organizations for protection and to keep their families safe.
The last were the so-called individual [players] or lone wolves. They enjoyed absolute freedom. As long as they were not detected, they could live comfortably relying on the abilities of the Evolution Game.
The only danger of the [Evolution Game] was that some [Tasks] were compulsory. Every once in a while, [Player] would receive them, not only were they extremely dangerous, but they also couldn't be refused.
This kind of [Task] was called [Periodic Task]. The casualty rate was very high. To avoid tragedy, one must strive to upgrade and improve one's strength. This is to ensure that they would not perish during the [Periodic Task].
To level up, you must complete [Tasks], it became a death spiral, the more you complete the deeper you sunk.
"The most dangerous are these [Periodic Tasks], compelling [Players] to level up." Li Changhe muttered, knowing he could not avoid them. To survive the [Periodic Tasks], he must level up! He also had to be careful of other [Players]!
Subconsciously touching his wound, "If someone notices me injured, they might associate it with the death of the harpy. I need to lay low!"
Li Changhe had the right idea. Even if he had wiped out all the evidence at the scene. He wiped every place that could leave a fingerprint and even took away the claw smeared with his blood.
However, there was still a chance he could be discovered. Just the camera on the bridge might reveal that Li Changhe suddenly disappeared,
"It should be alright if I'm found by an official organization." Li Changhe muttered to himself, "If it's those private organizations, it could get dangerous. Yang Dong could investigate with the police officers because he's probably a member of the [Great Wall]. Did he become Xiao Nan's driver to find the [Player] I killed? Or is it..."
With too few leads, Li Changhe didn't think too much of it. At least he determined the goal ahead, since he had become a [Player] with superior strength, it was best to stay hidden and keep a low profile.
As for the official organization [Great Wall], it was better not to get involved for now.
According to the information on the forum, with every level increase, a [Player] would gain free points to add to their attributes. Therefore, a [Player]'s combat power wouldn't be weak, and if their level was high enough, they could even become a superhero like Captain America.
If he joined [Great Wall]? He'd wait and see...
After killing the harpy, Li Changhe completed the [Task] and received a reward.
"The beloved flattering part." Li Changhe chuckled to himself, "I've saved people, served as a captain, been a doctor and raised a donkey. My face... flushed!"
Unfortunately, Li Changhe was the only one in the room, so no one got the joke.
In his mind's eye, he clicked on [Reward].
A small wooden box suddenly appeared in front of him. It looked similar to the treasure chest from pirate movies.
Li Changhe instinctively raised his hand, and the cue for [Open] popped up in his mind.
The little wooden box slowly opened, inside was a gleaming light.
[High-Efficiency Healing Liquid 200ml]
[Grade: Fine]
[Type: Miscellaneous]
[Description: It can heal all injuries except diseases and severed limbs in the shortest time. For those with more than 10 points in Physique, the effect is halved.]
[Note: Good medicine tastes bitter is a lie, this one is quite sweet]
[Reward has been placed in the player's backpack]
"Sigh." Li Changhe gasped, "Golden legend!"
From what he understood from the [forum], this type of medicine was precious. He'd just seen someone on the [forum] looking to buy this for 100 Game Coins or 2 million Yen.
That is to say, Li Changhe fetched a medicine worth 2 million Yen! This was more substantial than winning the lottery.
In his mind, he tried to open the [Backpack], and in front of him appeared a grid-like backpack, like those in online games. There were ten slots, one of which displayed a small glass bottle.
Li Changhe was wondering how to take it out when the small glass bottle appeared in his hand.
A backpack that appears with the player's thoughts?" A flicker of surprise appeared on Li Changhe's face, even this feature alone seemed quite exaggerated.
On a larger scale, he could carry dangerous items without being detected.
On a smaller scale, whether it was delivering food or parcels, it was much more convenient. It seemed like he could earn a new bike this summer vacation.
Li Changhe reached out and took a shot put next to him, muttering [Add to Backpack].
The shot put disappeared on the spot and appeared in a slot in the [Player Backpack].
Li Changhe felt relieved, with this feature, he wasn't afraid of anyone investigating him, everything was safe once put into the backpack.
"Now let's see what this healing liquid does." Li Changhe thought, finding a small cup in the room.
After all, it was medicine worth two million, better be frugal.
He poured about 20 ml of the healing liquid and observed it carefully. It was a light green liquid with no smell.
Li Changhe thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and unwrapped his left hand which had been bandaged, looking at the gruesome wound that slowly started to bleed.
"I want to see what's so unique about this medicine. Worth a whole two million." He downed the healing liquid in the cup. It tasted like water.
At the same time, he began calculating the time, wanting to know the actual effect of the medicine. If it wasn't that good, he would sell it.
He then stared blankly, as he saw the muscles around his wound contract and form a scab quickly, which fell off after a few seconds. The wound...was healed!
"The effect is so exaggerated?" The flashes in Li Changhe's eyes suggested he might have underestimated the [Evolution Game].
This medicine was life-saving. No wonder some [Players] sought it. No matter what danger they faced, as long as they weren't dead, they could probably survive once they used it.
Li Changhe immediately stopped thinking about selling the healing liquid. This kind of life-saving thing was invaluable, no amount of money could buy it!
It was impossible to produce with current human technology. No wonder [Great Wall] received the support of the entire state machinery, just by researching this medicine alone, the level of technological progress in this field could advance by several decades, or even centuries!
And this was just a miscellaneous item, not to mention the weapons...
At the same time, he felt a chill. If he could get such a thing, then other [Players] could as well!
The harpy might have had this as well, if Li Changhe hadn't managed to kill it in one hit, he might not be here right now. He had actually thought about fighting that creature earlier.
"It seems that the danger of Players is very high. I must try to minimize contact with other Players." Li Changhe mulled over it.
He had obtained this good thing as soon as he became a [Player]. This showed how precious it was to be a [Player]. And Non-players could get the qualification by killing a [Player]. This... People who had their identities discovered were in grave danger.
"While hiding the Player's identity in ordinary times, I must not reveal my identity to teammates during the tasks."
He burned the blood-stained gauze on the balcony, and dumped the ashes in the toilet.
After doing all these, Li Changhe breathed a sigh of relief.
