Chapter 494: Temporary Farewell to Free Exploration Mode
After a long wait, the electronic door behind Brother Jue finally opened again. Outside it stood a tall body covered in tinfoil armor. One had to say... the man looked poor.
“I believe... I should represent the USL to apologize to you, Mr. Feng Bujue.” Tinfoil Man stood outside the door to tell Brother Jue. “Wayne has overreacted, I hope that doesn’t pose any offence.”
“Oh no, I was enjoying myself.” Feng Bujue looked at the man calmly and said calmly. “Oh, if possible, please call me the Poker.”
“Of course, the Poker.” Tinfoil Man added. Feng Bujue nodded slightly. He walked to the door and when he was in front of the man, he asked, “You are tinfoil man, yes?”
“Yes.” Tinfoil Man replied, “But you can call me Stark.”
“Okay, Stark.” Feng Bujue continued, “Since you are here, then it can only mean that the meeting of your highest committee is already over. Might I know... how does the league decide to dispense with me?”
“Ha ha...” Tinfoil man laughed and answered. “The Universe Superhero League is happy to have you.”, great.” Feng Bujue said as he walked out from the room. At that moment, there were three other people at the corridor outside the door. They were Pi Li Dance Hero, Tap Monster and Professor Permanence. After Feng Bujue greeted the two from Planet Cheat, Professor Permanence volunteered to say, “Nice to meet you, the Poker, I don’t think we have met.” He paused, “Let me introduce myself. I am Professor Permanence. I am also a superhero from Earth.” He reached out his right hand from under his cape.
“Nice to meet you.” Feng Bujue responded as he answered the handshake. “It is my honor.” He smiled. “I was intending to find someone to ask... what is the difference between the Earth of this universe and the one I came from.”
“hah... Then I believe I believe we have a lot to talk about.” Professor Permanence replied with a hard to read smile.
“Alright, gentlemen, there are time to chat in the future, now...” Tinfoil Man interrupted, “We better help the Poker settle in and help him with the necessary procedure first.”
...
While his mind was working, his action did not stop. Brother Jue entered the elevator once he passed through the safehouse. To get a favourable rating in the “Superhero Level Test”, he decided to leave the scenario for now and came back when he was better prepared.
“Warning, you are currently attempting to leave this scenario. The next entry will cause a charge of Game Coins, would u like to confirm to do so?”
Once he walked into the elevator, he heard this reminder. Feng Bujue shrugged and pressed for the door to close. The metallic doors whined to a close and the elevator moved. At the same time, the system started, “Please choose the time you would log into this world next.”
Then a virtual window appeared before Brother Jue. There were five different options. “One, 1 minute later; Two, 1 hour later; Three, 3 hours later; Four, 12 Hours later; Five, 48 hours later.”
One could find the detailed introduction to this setting in the introduction of the new game mode. Basically once the player left the Free Exploration Mode under normal circumstance, they could choose the next moment in time when they would reenter the scenario. If they did not choose any of the option or exited the scenario in non-conventional way, the system would automatically selected ’48 hours later’ for them.
Feng Bujue gave it some thought and chose the third option. This meant that... no matter when he played Free Exploration Mode next, it could be one year later, only 3 hours would have passed in this universe.
“You have left Free Exploration Mode.” Soon the elevator stopped moving and the system announced. After a brief moment of dissociation, the rating review appeared before Brother Jue’s screen.
“Free Exploration Mode ended, calculating reward.
“Obtained EXP: 27760, Game Coins: 100
“Obtained Equipment/item: The Poker’s Superhero ID Card
“Obtained Skill Point: 670
“Calculation completed, please continue.”
“Hmm, that’s quite fast...” Feng bujue mumbled. Indeed compared to other modes, the rating review for Free Exploration Mode was very short, there was no reward for clearing the scenario, no anything related to quests, no fear rating and no additional skill point or EXP. Other than that... since this was Brother Jue’s first time in that mode so he wouldn’t get much reward. Of course, this was far, the difficulty was proportional to the reward... It was already not bad for him to nab these rewards for all he did was to follow two OP superheroes to deal with a bunch of idiotic villains. In fact, this 20000 plus Exp and 600 plus Skill Points, Feng Bujue had to thank General Qiong Qiong Qiong Qiong for them...
“Hmm... with my current ability, to reach a rating of star-level superhero is impossible.” Feng Bujue said as he walked to the storage. “Even a planet-level grade will be hard enough...” He placed the superhero Id inside the storage and said darkly. “The first test will be very important, if my level is too low, there will be much hindrance in the future... Looks like I better train for some time and steady myself before I return to the USL.”
