Chapter 102: The Second Promotion Game, Conclusion (2)

"Alright, now that all your questions have been asked, let's begin the ending scene. Farewell, everyone." KP Snail said with another smile, speaking out.

As soon as KP Snail finished speaking, Liu Xing found himself floating in mid-air.

"Quick, someone help!"

Liu Xing suddenly heard a chorus of shouts from below. Looking down, he saw a group of firefighters and armed police digging through a mound of earth.

The more Liu Xing observed the mound, the more familiar it seemed. Suddenly, he remembered this was the spot where they had gotten out of the car. But, had the mound grown larger? Liu Xing pondered a possibility – were they buried under this very mound?

After a while, the mound was finally excavated, confirming Liu Xing's suspicion. A van appeared from within the dirt, and "himself" along with "Tang Tai" and others were inside it.

A bit later, Liu Xing saw his unconscious "self" and the others, including "Tang Tai," being carried into an ambulance and taken to the hospital in County Town.

At the County Town hospital, Liu Xing watched as "he" woke up after emergency treatment, fortunately unharmed.

After three days in the hospital, "Liu Xing" returned to Rongcheng by car.

Everything went dark for a moment, and Liu Xing found himself back in the real world.

Standing up, Liu Xing stretched his body, relieved to have returned safely from this harrowing adventure.

He grabbed a cola from the fridge and sat back at his computer to check the changes to his character card.

Background: A regular doctor who, during a trip to England, helped the police solve numerous unresolved missing person cases, earning not only a reward but also domestic media attention, making him quite famous back home.

Credit Rating: 51+10 (Temporary buff from completing the Castle Lord Hidden Ending, to last one more Cthulhu RPG Game)

Skills: First Aid 83, Medicine 78, Psychology 71, Psychoanalysis 70, Persuasion 60, Investigation 40, Jump 71 (Nan Xiaoniao buff), Lockpicking 10, Other Languages: English 22, Driving 50, Other Languages: Island Nation Language 39.

Assets: 500,000

Cash: 40,000 + 5,000 (salary income) + 1,000 (earthquake relief subsidy) + 600 (attendance award)

After the last Interlude Growth, Liu Xing spent a total of 10,000 cash, and now he's starting to feel the financial pinch.

Moreover, due to the buff from Nan Xiaoniao, Liu Xing's Jump skill gained one point, but it was somewhat wasted because Liu Xing did not lose any SAN (Sanity) points in this second promotion game and his current SAN value is already at its maximum.

Liu Xing stroked his chin and opened the description of the torn pages from "The Secret Chapters of Xuanjun."

Torn Pages of "The Secret Chapters of Xuanjun": Studying these pages will consume one Interlude Growth and require a SAN check. Success will result in a loss of 1 SAN point, while failure will lead to a loss of 2 SAN points. It will increase Cthulhu Mythos knowledge by 2 points and teach the spell to contact the Earth-boring Demon Worm.

"Ah, it seems I can learn a spell during this Interlude Growth, although this spell is a bit tricky." Liu Xing finally decided to study the torn pages of "The Secret Chapters of Xuanjun," seeing a stable gain of 2 points in Cthulhu Mythos knowledge and hoping to pay just 1 point of SAN as the price, given his luck.

For the remaining two Interlude Growths, Liu Xing decided to continue with "physical training" and "becoming an online novel writer," as these were sustainable developments. "Physical training" wouldn’t require more cash, and "becoming an online novel writer" offered a fifty percent chance of upgrading from a struggling writer to a regular author.

After sorting out the Interlude Growth, Liu Xing checked his points, which had reached 584. He decided to buy a white character card as a form of "insurance."

Arriving at the Shop page, Liu Xing clicked directly into the character card interface and found that it had been updated along with the last platform update.

Firstly, the character cards were now categorized into five levels, distinguished by color: white, blue, purple, gold, and rainbow.

The white character card was still priced at 500 points. All attributes would be randomly generated, with the highest value not exceeding 60 points, and skill values not exceeding 50 points. The profession on the card would also be generated randomly.

However, the updated white character card would also include a randomly chosen item valued at up to 100 points.

After reviewing the white character card, Liu Xing couldn't help but check out the other cards. Even if he couldn't afford them, it was nice to dream.

The blue character card, priced at 1,000 points, would have all attributes randomly generated with maximum values up to 70, skill values up to 60, offer a choice of five randomly selected professions, and include three randomly chosen items valued up to 100 points each.

The purple character card, at a steep 2,500 points, had attributes randomly generated between 50 and 75, skill values up to 70, and included three items valued up to 200 points each.

The gold character card, priced at 5,000 points, allowed the player to specify one attribute value up to 85, with other attributes generated between 60 and 80, no limit on skill values, and included one item valued over 1,000 points.

Finally, the rainbow character card, costing 10,000 points, came with a description of just two words: "Guess!"

Liu Xing was at a loss...
