Chapter 427
System Levels
"Your systems are special abilities provided by the Hafk Group to each map leader."
"Of course, the system's operation is not without its costs, as you all know, it consumes a lot of resources. To make it easier for everyone to use, the group has converted all kinds of complex resources into currencies with corresponding prices."
"Further upgrade rewards will be given based on your performance and how well you integrate with the system."
As he spoke, Jacob looked at Anderson, who immediately understood and continued, "Simply put, all members within the Hafk Group are ranked, with the lowest being Level 1 and the highest being Level 5."
"Whether it's Hafk soldiers or Asara soldiers, whether they are ordinary soldiers or special soldiers, they are all level one, while the initial level of each map leader is level two."
Han Che recalled when he first transmigrated, "Was it only level two back then...?"
Anderson continued, "When the compatibility with the system increases significantly for the first time, you will be promoted to level three and gain the corresponding special ability. At the same time, the group will reward the soldiers under the leader of that map with a full upgrade."
"Afterwards, once the map leader completes their special mission, they will be eligible to advance to level four."
"After advancing to level four, you will unlock the ability to significantly improve your attributes and gain the ability to learn some special skills."
"This access is quite useful. Not only can it increase strength, speed, and stamina, but it can also teach abilities like micro-aiming, bullet tracking, and X-ray vision. Although it's expensive, it's definitely worth the price," Anderson added with a smile.
"The above is the promotion mechanism for map leaders. Even if there is a difference of one level, the difference in strength will be huge. In order to resist the invasion of players, please actively promote and improve your strength as soon as possible."
"Wait? Isn't the highest level five? Why are they only talking about level four?" A synthesized female voice came from the far end of the conference table.
Anderson turned to Desmulan, his expression shifting slightly upon recognizing the questioner. "Ms. Desmulan, that's a good question. Theoretically, the highest system level is indeed level five, but..."
Before Anderson could finish speaking, Jacob raised his hand to interrupt him, "Anderson, everyone's here today, it's a rare opportunity, so let's demonstrate the capabilities of the Level 5 system."
Anderson's eyes widened, his pupils contracted, "Mr. Jacob, isn't this a bit inappropriate...?"
Jacob smiled and waved his hand. "I personally approved it, so what's inappropriate about it? It's rare to see all six map leaders gathered together. Let everyone witness it and add to the excitement."
Anderson was silent for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement, "Yes," before standing up and addressing everyone in the conference room, "Please follow me to Golden Tree Plaza, where I will demonstrate the capabilities of the Level 5 system."
After speaking, Anderson gave Jacob a slight bow and then walked out of the conference room.
The group looked at each other, unsure whether to stand up or not.
Jacob remained seated, his smile unwavering. Clearly, he didn't intend to go along. He simply said, "Go ahead, everyone. The most mysterious part of the system that you haven't understood before is about to be revealed. It's worth seeing."
"Let's go! Fine, let's go! I thought it was something unique to me since I transmigrated, but it turns out to be a mass-produced, common item. I'm so disappointed. I want to see what's so different about it!" Reis stood up angrily and walked out first.
With Reese taking the lead, the others followed suit one after another.
On the way from the conference room to Golden Tree Plaza, Qi Yuzhe moved slightly closer to Han Che and lowered his voice, saying, "Have you figured it out yet?"
Han Che glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "According to what Anderson just said, Said is already at level four, while the two of us are still at level three."
Qi Yuzhe nodded. "How much worse do you think the so-called Level 5 is compared to us?"
Han Che frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, recalling the speed, strength, and reaction that Said had demonstrated in Dam Zero.
Every aspect was significantly higher than before he became stronger. "After Said leveled up, I feel that his overall strength has increased by more than 20% or 30%. If he were at level five, his strength might have doubled." He felt a little heavy-hearted after saying this number.
Qi Yuzhe nodded upon hearing this, "That's about what I was thinking. However, I don't think that even if an individual's strength doubles, they might not be able to defeat the two of us working together. There are many situations where one plus one is greater than two."
Han Che chuckled softly, unsure whether Qi Yuzhe truly believed it or was merely trying to comfort himself.
"By the way, who is this Anderson? I've never heard of him before. What map is he the boss of?" Han Che asked.
Qi Yuzhe shook his head. "I don't know either. I've never even heard of him. Is he a civil servant at the Hafk Group? He looks like it."
As he pondered this information, Demulan's synthesized voice came from beside him, "You don't know the Minister of Efficiency?"
Han Che and Qi Yuzhe both turned their heads to look at her at the same time, exchanged glances, and neither of them immediately responded.
They developed a natural understanding on this matter: they would not easily engage in any conversation with someone of unknown origin before they knew whether the other party was friend or foe.
Demulan saw the guarded posture of the two men, as if he had completely anticipated this reaction.
Her tone remained unchanged. "Don't you two know the Efficiency Secretary, Hudson?" she asked again, changing the form of address, and then added, "He's the map boss of the space station."
Han Che frowned. What did Demulan mean by that? Was he trying to trick him?
He was very familiar with the map of the space base. Before crossing it, he had run the escort list on that map countless times. He knew every passage and every spawn point on the map like the back of his hand.
The map boss of the space base has always been the woman in front of him, known as Demulan, ever since Han Che learned about this map; it has never changed.
Where did this "Anderson" come from... and what is "Hudson" anyway?
"Ms. Demuren is too kind. Isn't the map BOSS of the space base always you, the security director?" Han Che replied politely.
Demulan paused for a moment, then said, "That's certainly true now... Are you two really time travelers?"
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Demulan knew that they did not want to be tricked into revealing information. She sighed softly and continued, "I am a time traveler. Listen to me, and I will be able to prove it."
"This map of the space base has three prison areas: Prison Area 1 is the Sandy Area, Prison Area 2 is the Industrial Area, and Prison Area 3 is the Canning Area. Only time travelers would understand this nickname."
"Also, employee passage number two, that respawn point is guaranteed to spawn a team. If anyone dares to swipe their card and rush through, every dog that passes by will get a beating." After saying that, Demulan stared at Han Che's mask.
When Han Che heard these details, he already had a judgment in his mind.
Those are indeed nicknames used among players, not names on the official map, and NPCs wouldn't know these names.
