Chapter 343: Chapter 159: 1.08 Million Rewards

Ling Sha had said that the AI-created human combat consciousness levels were Elite, Expert, and Legend.

It seems there is a fourth level above these, the Unmatched Level.

That was a combat consciousness that small Ran evolved on his own, breaking free from human confines and stepping beyond all restrictive frameworks, utilizing a dark logic that humans couldn’t understand.

Gao Xin touched his chin and thought, in that case, was he also at the Unmatched Level?

Watching the barrage of praise in the comments, Gao Xin calmly said, "So this is just the Legend level?"

"I don’t care about legends or not, no matter how much you praise me, it’s still the old rule, max-out the tip."

"Otherwise, this is my last game."

He once again threatened the viewers, urging them to max-out their tips.

Most of the viewers watched Gao Xin’s game for the first time, their attention gathered by all the players of this game, mostly followers of Ling Sha.

They had never seen Ling Sha demand tips, since Ling Sha wasn’t short of money and couldn’t bring himself to do that.

Every time, they would use tips to coax Ling Sha to interact more, while Ling Sha would either give them some attention or not, but he wouldn’t outright ask for tips.

To their astonishment, Tai Sui was demanding a maxed-out tip or he wouldn’t play.

This was a blatant threat!

The comments exploded in a moment, "What do you mean this is your last game? I just started following you and you’re already acting high and mighty?"

"I’ll give you one more chance to choose your words carefully."

"You’re just a Green player, for all I knew, you would have been a Black player."

"Damn it, I’ll join in, the old rule, call me ’Big Boss’ or I’ll unfollow."

"Hahaha, Tai Sui is at it again, giving the newbs a little shock."

"Tai Sui, just a reminder, you’re at over 9,000 followers now, if you’re polite, you should be able to break 10,000 and join the ranks of the Red players."

The barrage of comments increased substantially, many unable to adapt to Gao Xin’s arrogance were furiously enraged.

Some were old fans, delighting in disaster, enjoying the spectacle of new viewers who hadn’t seen much of the world.

Others tried to advise Gao Xin, noted he was close to reaching Red-player level, it wouldn’t hurt to bow down a bit today to garner more attention.

However, Gao Xin was disdainful, "I really don’t want to repeat myself every time."

"I’m in these redemption games because I need money. If tips don’t meet my expectations, I won’t play again."

"Don’t talk to me about followers; after hyping me so much, you should tip a few million at least, otherwise why speak at all?"

"To the one saying they’ll unfollow, you can get lost right now. I don’t need viewers who are still sucking on pacifiers. If I see you again, you will call me ’Dad’."

He was as foul-mouthed as always, furiously railing against the comments.

As soon as he spoke, he demanded millions, seemingly gone mad for money.

The comments blew up instantly, "Are you asking to die?"

"A country bumpkin dares to be so arrogant?"

"Just a Tiger Level with a bit higher consciousness, got the Legend achievement and now flying high?"

"Haha, Tai Sui has always been this way, he was this cocky even when he was a Glass Person..."

"What the hell? A Glass Person daring to be cocky?"

"Kid, opening your mouth for millions, watch out, you might not live to spend it! This game isn’t over yet!"

"Kill him, kill him, kill him!"

"Does he not realize I can just ask the navy to go in and take him out?"

"I’m a colonel at Navy Headquarters, who the hell are you?"

"Hahahaha, calling the Navy for a Tiger Level? He’s not in Yamato territory? Just give Sea King Marla a heads-up to catch him for the Beauties Feast, haha."

"No need to bother Sea King Port? Isn’t Yamato territory controlled by the yakuza? Just let Yunzhong Tianyi handle him."

"Fine! I’m offering 500,000 for his life."

"Buy your mom’s head, just one Legend achievement in five years, and you want to kill him off the field? Why don’t you die first? Dare you to turn on your hidden GPS."

"Come on, he’s always been like this, you’ll get used to it."

"First game as a Glass Person took out an SR, second game as a Glass Person slashed a True Wolf to rescue all Glass Persons and took the Demon Blade, and now just the fourth game, he already got the Legend achievement. If he has to die, let him die in the game, why off the field?"

"In the end, he’s just a Tiger Level, fuck, my driver is Tiger Level, why is he so arrogant?"

"Let me tell you why, because he was still a Glass Person a month ago."

"What? A Glass Person a month ago?"

"All of you shut up, if you don’t like it then leave, hasn’t Tai Sui already made it clear enough?"

"Tai Sui, I’ve given the tip, but several million is too much, the limit for this game is only 1.08 million."

The comments were uproarious, but as more people brought up Gao Xin’s past performances and his status as a Glass Person a month ago.

The comments from those angered and cursing Gao Xin gradually decreased, and those shouting about killing him disappeared.

Instead, there was a discussion about his past experiences, and it was clear that some people had started digging through old videos.

"What? Just 1.08 million? Are you just calculating directly according to two-by-two pairings?"

Gao Xin smirked but accepted the price nonetheless.

A tip of 1.08 million redemption tickets, this was more than the reward he received for scoring a high of 66 points, indeed a huge amount.

Ten players, paired two by two, would have nine number 10s, plus one that exploded.

Since there is no AI, the smallest number must be a player, and because everyone has the same score, everyone would lose one point, thus a round could yield a maximum of 27 points.

Over four pairings, that equals 108 points.

However, 108 is not the maximum score that could be produced in this game.

Since everyone can enter the same room and draw the same number, theoretically, everyone could be number 5, pair up with each other to make ten number 10s without losing points, creating 40 points.

Over four rounds, that would be 160 points.

Of course, the organizers clearly do not use this calculation, as it’s too dependent on luck, more likely zero or even negative points.

Compared to that, 108 points is what could be created theoretically as long as all ten people cooperate.

"Sheesh... you’re still not satisfied with the max tip?"

Ling Sha was stunned on the side, Gao Xin was actually arguing with the viewers, and those behind the comments were all people with jobs, power, and capital.

Moreover, they weren’t just following one or two people; often, they followed a host of strong players, able to connect with high-level players from major factions.

"I suggest you tone it down a bit, once Red players get their personal AI, viewers can pay a fee to send them private messages anytime."

"As far as I know, many red players take this opportunity to make a quick buck by taking on mercenary missions. The elites can then influence matters on the island, so you need to be careful."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xin nodded, "Understood."

So it turned out that the elites’ influence couldn’t reach the island, but there were still many ways to affect it offline for real.

The island was a realm created by criminals, and while some may disdain it, most people wouldn’t turn their backs on money.

His style was too extreme, so his followers were also very polarized.

You never know when some strong player targeting him might appear, possibly instigated by viewers who disliked him.

In response, Gao Xin could only face whatever came his way.

He scoffed and said, "108,000 is just mediocre, but with the rewards, I can get 1.74 million redemption points, which for now is enough."

That was 1.74 million, though in the battle at Glass Cannon, they had made several hundreds of thousands, that was a collective income from a team battle.

Now it was over a million for an individual; he had never seen so many redemption points before.

Gao Xin was actually very satisfied with this income, it wasn’t in vain that he had pushed himself to the limit multiple times in the game.

This was also his first breakthrough in the game.

But he still had to act tough, as he just didn’t want to show a good face to these guys.

Ling Sha then said, "This time if you receive the full reward, your next game will see a spike in difficulty, and if it’s an intermediate level game, there will be special items."

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow, special items? Indeed, his third game was about battling for the Demon Blade.

So after getting a full reward and participating in a lower level game, there would be special items for players to fight for.

In the Demon Blade battle, most people were still unaware of this routine, but undoubtedly, the next time he participated, probably everyone will know the benefits of those items, making the competition for a single treasure tremendously fierce.

The intermediate game’s inherent competition, rivalry matching grudges, coupled with additional treasure conflict, will probably leave no room for peace.

"Have you also experienced a tool battle?" Gao Xin asked her.

Ling Sha nodded, "Yes, I even got one, a javelin that can automatically track and fly back to me."

"But that spear was too slender—didn’t like holding it, so I handed it over to the organization right away."

Gao Xin glanced at her large gauntlets, imagining holding a slender spear like pinching a toothpick—it indeed didn’t suit her.

"Forget about these people; let’s finish the game first."

Gao Xin confirmed the rewards and then, ignoring the barrage, walked straight out of the room.

The bell for the fifth round rang with a clang.

The question, "What are the top ten masses in the solar system?"

The same question, Gao Xin asked again in the fifth round.

Next, Gao Xin walked towards the room next to Ling Sha; from now on, Ling Sha was in room J, and Gao Xin was in room I, with the rest being AI.

Ling Sha said hauntingly at the door, "Is it necessary to split rooms?"

Gao Xin replied seriously, "Don’t you know that even if the barrage is open, there might still be a sudden-death scenario in the end?"

"The game isn’t completely over; if you’re careless, you’ll die."

Ling Sha smiled, "I know, but there will always be someone in the barrage to remind you."

Gao Xin hummed in agreement; indeed, he had been reminded by the barrage during his first match to be cautious or he’d die.

Now with so many fans, there would always be someone who knew the risks to remind him.

As he glanced at the barrage, he heard the robot in room A give the answer: "Saturn."

"???" Gao Xin looked up.

Ling Sha said from the next room, "Uh! The robot changed its answer... "

Gao Xin frowned, "The answer itself is definitely correct, just the name has changed."

"Saturn, that’s Jupiter."

"Tai Sui at Gao Xin, implying Chongguang. The original Tai Sui referred to this celestial body too."

Ling Sha scoffed, "I see, asking the same question is indeed a way to guarantee passing, but there’s still a twist."

"In the fifth round with the repetition of the question, all descriptions will change as much as possible. If the last contender is unlearned, they’ll die."

Gao Xin stated, "This time, there’s no number 1 among the AIs."

Ling Sha asked, "Are you number 1?"

Gao Xin said, "Yes, and you?"

"I’m number 4..." Ling Sha frowned slightly.

Though this round didn’t require pairing, they needed to guess all the robots’ numbers correctly; they couldn’t afford even one mistake.

Soon, one by one, the rooms answered in succession, each robot delivering their response.

They were: A Jupiter, B Mercury, C Earth, D Saturn, E Uranos, F Mercury, G Venus, H Mars...

Then I was Gao Xin as number 1, J was Ling Sha as number 4.

Ling Sha scratched her head, "What the heck is Uranos?"

Gao Xin looked aside, just listening as Aunt Yao said, "Uranos was the ancient Greek god of the sky, and the name Uranus comes from Him."

Gao Jiaoji then said, "The mass of Uranus is about 8.68 times 10 to the 25th power..."

"All right, you over there," Aunt Yao pushed him away bluntly.

Then she continued, "Young Chongguang... Venus is Tai Bai, Mars is Ying Huo, Mercury is Chen Xing, and Saturn is Zhen Xing... As for this Gaia... you know it’s Earth."

"Huh? Why isn’t there Neptune? It should be named after the Roman god of the sea, Neptune."

Aunt Yao’s trivia knowledge was indeed vast; not only was she proficient in Taoist texts, but she also had an extensive understanding of cultures from different times and all over the world.

In fact, as Aunt Yao spoke in the illusion, Gao Xin also recalled this knowledge.

This was essentially the manifestation of his subconscious thought.

Gao Xin immediately informed Ling Sha about these celestial bodies represented by the names.

That is to say, they were A Jupiter, B Mercury, C Earth, D Saturn, E Uranus, F Mercury, G Venus, H Mars.

Apart from two Mercurys, which definitely needed a number 10, it was easy to establish the corresponding numbers for the others.

Ling Sha immediately said, "Since there’s no Neptune, it must be arranged in order, because I’m number 4, which makes me Neptune."

"And you... Tai Sui... this time, you are the Sun."
