MMB Chapter 385 is all a conspiracy.
Chapter 385 is all a conspiracy.
Chuxincheng, Central Square.
"So, what's the formula for calculating firepower?"
Lin Miao had somehow acquired a small notebook and was diligently taking notes.
The NPC in charge of recruitment was a half-orc model with fox ears, and he was sweating profusely at the moment.
"This brave adventurer, your firepower rating reflects the audience's affection for you; it's a sentiment, and there's no specific formula..." The fox-eared NPC tried his best to maintain a professional smile.
"Impossible." Lin Miao looked up, her face serious.
"Any data-driven presentation of results must have an underlying logic."
"Is it calculated based on the number of clicks, the duration of the visit, or a weighted percentage of the tip amount?"
"How can I develop the optimal follower acquisition strategy if I don't understand the weighting?"
The fox-eared NPC opened his mouth, then completely froze.
A burst of rough laughter came from the side.
A new player, nearly three meters tall and with four arms, strode over.
He looked down at Lin Miao and mumbled a string of words.
Lin Miao didn't understand, so she turned to the NPC and asked, "What did he just say?"
The fox-eared NPC wiped his sweat and helped translate: "He said that a frail race like yours, who would be blown away by a gust of wind, has no idea what stage tension is."
"He can get first place just by standing there and showing off his muscles."
He also suggested that you go home early to drink your milk.
Lin Miao closed the notebook and looked the player up and down a few times.
After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke.
"Please pass this message on to him."
"According to biomechanical analysis, the proportions of his limbs caused his center of gravity to shift."
"If he turns or jumps on stage, the pressure on his knee meniscus will exceed the critical value."
"In addition, the muscle groups in his arms are not evenly distributed, so there is an 87% chance that his left scapula will dislocate once he performs high-intensity dance choreography."
Lin Miao lowered her head, seemingly a little embarrassed.
"His physical structure is not suitable for participating in the talent show. He can maximize his profits by working in a quarry."
The fox-eared NPC swallowed hard and translated it verbatim.
The smile on the four-armed player's face froze.
He looked at his arms, then at his knees, his brain clearly unable to process such complex information, and he was completely bewildered.
The other players from different races who were watching the commotion exchanged bewildered glances.
"Is this woman's racial talent a curse?"
"That sounds terrifying, and I feel pain in my meniscus too."
"Pain my ass! You can't even use your legs, where would you get a meniscus?"
Just then, the light above Hinata City suddenly dimmed.
It wasn't that dark clouds were obscuring the sun; it was darkness in a physical sense.
Everyone looked up at the same time.
A terrifying behemoth, over a kilometer long, hovered silently above the city.
A huge shadow completely enveloped the entire central square.
"Holy crap! What's going on?"
"Enemy attack!"
"Guards! Where are the guards?!"
"It's a high-level world boss!"
The new players in the square were in chaos; some drew their beginner iron swords, while others ran away with their heads in their hands.
The four-armed player sat down on the ground with a thud.
The giant Kun let out a low cry, then its size rapidly shrank, transforming into a streak of black light that landed in the center of the plaza.
As the black light dissipated, Chen You calmly walked out, wearing his familiar Star River Ink Abyss Robe.
He glanced at the terrified crowd around him and sighed inwardly.
It's impossible to keep a low profile even if you want to.
"Wait... that person looks familiar." An elf player rubbed his eyes.
"That title! Look at the ID above his head!"
Above Chen You's head, the four large characters "[Heavenly Mandate Ruler]" shimmered with a dark golden light.
The ID is below the title.
After a brief silence, the square erupted in cheers.
"It's Chen You! The God of Travel!"
"My God! Alive! I saw one alive!"
"Seriously! My life has been worth it!"
"Master! Master, please teach me! I know all the positions!"
A group of players rushed up like madmen.
Chen You frowned.
This scene is all too familiar.
"Everyone, please calm down." Chen You cleared his throat. "The Origin Realm is vast, and there are many opportunities."
"As long as you work hard to fight monsters and level up, one day... you will have the opportunity to fight alongside me."
The crowd erupted in an even more enthusiastic cheer.
Chen You ignored the enthusiastic fans and scanned the crowd, quickly locking onto Lin Miao, who was standing next to the fox-eared NPC and looking at him with a strange expression.
Chen You strode towards Lin Miao.
The crowd automatically parted to make way.
The two met.
"Captain Chen," Lin Miao said in a low voice, "are you that popular here?"
She even began to doubt whether Chen You had actually been seriously cultivating.
"There's nothing I can do," Chen You said without batting an eye. "It's my fault for being too outstanding."
He pulled up the system panel and initiated a transaction request to Lin Miao.
[Player 'Chen You' has initiated a trade with you.]
Lin Miao clicked to confirm.
The trade window contained no equipment, no items, only a long string of numbers that made people dizzy.
200,000.
"This is..." Lin Miao's breath hitched.
Although I knew Li Guoan's arrangements, I still couldn't help but get excited when faced with such wealth.
Lin Miao's hand trembled, and she pressed the confirmation button.
[Ding! Transaction complete. Your account balance: 200,000 gold coins.]
She was a newbie at level 1, only at the first level of Qi Refining, but now she is undoubtedly the richest woman in Chuxin City.
"What's next?" Lin Miao took a deep breath. "I've just looked into it, and this talent show doesn't have clear scoring criteria. It feels like it's all rigged."
"Don't overthink it." Chen You felt that the other person was cursing him in his heart.
He pointed to the fox-eared NPC next to him, "You sign up first."
Lin Miao walked towards the fox-eared NPC.
"I want to register."
The fox-eared NPC, having just witnessed Chen You and Lin Miao's interaction, was now extremely respectful: "Alright, alright, may I ask what your competition declaration is?"
Lin Miao thought for a moment: "Science changes the stage."
"Okay, you've been registered." The fox-eared NPC handed over a crystal card. "This is your player terminal. You can check your ranking and firepower at any time."
Lin Miao accepted the crystal plaque.
Chen You leaned over and took a look.
【Star Source Voice · Chuxincheng Audition Area】
First place: Carl, firepower: 150.
Second place: Mia, firepower: 120.
……
980th: Lin Miao, Firepower: 0.
Chen You looked up again at the players watching.
This firepower value comes from player votes, but he also set up a "Starlight Ticket" reward system.
"Let's try throwing money at it first."
He opened the system interface and found the newly added "Star Source Voice" activity icon.
Upon entering the event page, Chen You directly purchased 10000 gold coins worth of Starlight Tickets.
