Feng Bujue looked through the rating review. His level did not rise, still level eleven, but his EXP gauge had reached 4,900/11,000, and he had 77,000 Game Coins. His earlier worry of raising his level too quickly was unfounded; in reality, his speed of levelling was much lower compared to professional players.
The EXP gained this time was average at best. The additional EXP and Game Coins given were calculated via the Skill Points gained. More specifically, when playing Team Mode, it was a multiplier of the Skill Points gained in terms of ten times or one hundred times; while for Solo Mode, it would be a multiplier of either one time or ten times, and the difference was huge. The other factor to influence the EXP gained was the gaming time. For example, for this scenario, it was about one hour longer than the previous scenario, so even though the difficulty was not high—scenarios that did not rely on fighting were not considered difficult to Feng Bujue—the base EXP gained at the rating review was higher than the previous scenario.
That EXP was not enough for Feng Bujue to rise in terms of level. Without unlocking the world-building, he had to go through at least four to five teamed scenarios of such difficulty before he could level up. Therefore, life was not that easy for those studios’ workers. Starting from the beginning of the closed beta, 8 am on 4th April to midnight of 6th April, there were about forty hours in real life. Separating the hours into two connectivity methods and minus the necessary break time... it meant that they had fought for at least five days in game before they reached the maximum level.
Remark: You’re going to be disqualified if you use this in a professional match.

"What is this..." Feng Bujue studied the skill card for some time. The item name and remark aside, the effect of the skill was quite strong. Feng Bujue thought about it before equipping it. This kind of prank-type skill did not seem like the kind that would sell later, and it was not the kind that would make a great gift either.
After equipping the skill, at least he had an active skill that he could use during combat. Then, Feng Bujue walked to the last glass tube, hoping that the system would finally give him something good. But he actually had a prediction in his heart already. During the rating review, the reward said that it was a ’a random Excellent quality item’, but the clause ’that is matching your level’ was conspicuously missing, so there was a high chance that while the equipment was going to be good, he might not be able to use it.
The white light materialized, and an item that looked like a belt appeared. Feng Bujue’s first reaction was... this could be Batman’s toolbelt, but he was wrong. The equipment was even better.
———
Item Name: Echo Armor
Item Type: Armor
Quality: Excellent
Defense Points: Quite Strong
Element: Damage Mitigation
Special Effect: None
Equip Requirement: General Ability C or Workmanship D
Remark: After collecting the whispering from Blackbolt, Dr. Doom used the powerful energy to create this equipment. After activating the belt, the user will obtain invisible armor made from ’echo’.

The armor was powerful, but unfortunately, Feng Bujue could not equip it. However, he still placed it inside his backpack. After all, he already had E for Workmanship. If he could raise the mastery to D during the next scenario, then he would fit the requirement.
Currently, his inventory space was 7/10, and it contained: Mario’s Wrench, The Eye of Hostility, a kitchen knife, a baseball ball, a flashlight, an M1911A1 Pistol, and Echo Armor.
The Jazz Shoes were equipped on his feet, so they did not count. The items in the log-in lobby was the same—a spare flashlight and Puzzle Card: Monkey.
After equipping everything, Feng Bujue returned to the elevator and called Wang Tanzhi. Xiao Tan handed the team leader position to Feng Bujue. Then the two of them started the queue and entered the second Team Mode for the night.
