Chapter 4

“Player has been rated as +S class, therefore, all professions are available and there is no recommended scheme for distributing points.”

The ball of light read out this sentence drily, word by word, in a wooden manner. After the explanation, a translucent character attribute panel was cast before her.

Li Xin raised her gaze and looked.

[Character] 97

Attribute points: 20

[Attributes]

[Body] 10 [+] (Blood volume and defense)

[Agility] 10 [+] (Movement and attack speed)

[Spirit] 20 [+] (Mental strength)

[Strength] 10 [+] (Attack power)

The scan rating was Miracle’s evaluation of a player’s mental strength. The result of this evaluation was very important as it affected not only the player’s initial attribute points, but also influenced the player’s upgrade points.

This kind of setting had already divided players into different levels almost from the very beginning. There was a distinct disparity in strength between players with different ratings, with rare exceptions. This was very strange for a game.

And this strange rule without a doubt caused a huge controversy once it was found out, with the players in disbelief. However, calling customer service to complain and denouncing people over the internet was all useless.

What? Call the game company? It was made by the government and directly under their jurisdiction.

What? Stop playing? Miracle was the world’s first and only holographic game. From the very beginning, almost the entire population joined the game. Even if they didn’t particularly want to play, they still wanted to take a look. And those with keen sense for profit who had perceived something from the attitude of the government, from financial groups to speculators, all invested in the game. Later, playing Miracle slowly equated to ‘Network’. Don’t go online? Was that possible?

Li Xin’s expression appeared unchanged, but a streak of surprise flashed across her eyes.

20 assignable attribute points? Sure enough, the gap between ranks was like the heavens. In her previous life, her B level rank only had 8 attribute points per upgrade.

As Li Xin remembered, the ranks were A, B, C, D and E, five levels. Mankind generally ranked from C-E.

After pondering, she blinked and sounded out, “What’s the difference between the ratings?”

If she had asked this question in her previous lifetime, the agent might not have given her an answer, but this time-

The ball of light, 6666, shone in silence for a while. Wondering whether this belonged to the scope of answering novice questions, the agent called out a table of grading and corresponding points to show to Li Xin.

Evaluation Result (Rank) / Obtained Points (Per Level) / Base Points (Sum)

[S]/20/10

[A]/15/5

[B]/10/0

[C]/5/0

[D]/4/0

[E]/3/0

[F]/2/0

Not waiting for Li Xin to raise more questions, 6666 proactively added, “The + sign after the points indicates that the sum value has exceeded the base rank value. For example; your mental strength.”

“Additionally, players can choose to adjust their appearance, 2% per attribute point.”

Li Xin thanked the guide cleverly and expressed that there was no need to change the appearance. She then reached out and distributed 11 points to the spirit column, and 3 points each for the others.

Points allocation completed, click ‘X’.

There was no career selection in Miracle. A player’s skill preferences and career trends were explored within the game by themselves. The novice guidance process was merely for registering the player before sending them into the game.

However, simply out of humanitarian care for the new players, the system would suggest a career recommendation and restrictions. The main gist of which was; if a player’s basic points are too low, some occupations would be unsuitable, and if a certain value of the player was high, it might be suitable for them to select a particular career.

The base attribute value stood for more than one specific attribute.

In addition to upgrading, there were other ways for players to gain more points, such as; a boss’ first kill, mission completion points etc… However, only the upgrade points can be allocated by the players themselves, and the rest of the points will be automatically distributed according to the proportion of the player’s base attribute values.

Players with a base value of zero need to obtain a non upgrade attribute point to know their basic allocation scheme. In essence, the system recommendation was for such players.

In her previous life, Li Xin had seen a lot of people who chose to ignore the system’s recommendations and tried to do it with “a unique approach”. For example, those who chose to play as  warriors realized that they had added too little to their “strength” attribute, those who played as the assassins lacked the “agility” attribute… They had all managed to fuck themselves over, without fail.

You couldn’t redistribute the attribute points in Miracle, so there was no regretting the result.

Fortunately, there was also no occupation restriction, so players could choose to change their occupational direction any time if they deemed that their points were unsuitable. They would simply have to find ways to deal with the loss of equipment and skills. The equipment could still be sold, but the skill book would be gone after you learnt it.

6666 said, “Player No. 07 is about to enter the novice village, Wishing you a delightful gaming experience.”
