Chapter 3140
"Very balanced," the Transcendent replied. "The data is not particularly low, and Inspiration is a bit high."
"Is it bad that Inspiration is high?"
"This means you will be more likely to notice anomalies, which will cause your Mental Health value to drop faster. But the good news is that your Willpower is also very high, which makes your Mental Health value cap higher, barely considered balanced."
"How many points can I allocate?"
"30 points."
Schiller repeated this number in his heart and calculated it, finding it not high, because there are 10 attributes in total, and on average, each attribute can only add 3 points.
Of course, he couldn't add them so evenly. First of all, he was relatively dissatisfied with Strength. Although clergy shouldn't have as good strength as some manual laborers, isn't 3 a bit too low?
And another lowest value, Luck. He was indeed not very lucky, but he came to participate in the instance, and he was still unlucky, then didn't he come in vain?
Schiller thought for a moment, first adding Strength to 7, Size to 6. Considering there might be combat, Strength and Intelligence should both be added to 10. In this way, 13 attribute points remain.
Schiller was not sure what Appearance was useful for. He thought there might be some segments that needed seduction, but he was not Natasha. No matter how high Appearance was, he wouldn't have these agent skills, so he only added one point, to 6.
Dexterity should be relatively important, Schiller thought, because finding clues is very likely to use Dexterity-related judgments, and lock-picking is also a very important skill, so he added Dexterity to 9.
His Inspiration and Willpower were both relatively high. Thinking of the Transcendent's words, he didn't move Inspiration again, but added two points to Willpower, reaching 8.
Now 7 attribute points remain.
Education and Luck are both very important. Schiller really didn't want every sentence of his to be muted. After asking the Transcendent, he learned that the Education attribute reaching 8 can be classified as a higher education level, at least daily speaking is not difficult, so Schiller allocated 3 points to Education, and the Education attribute reached 8.
Then the last 4 points belong to Luck. Luck reached 7. Although it is still not very high, it is okay.
Schiller's final attributes are as follows:
Strength 7, Size 6, Power 10, Intelligence 10, Dexterity 9, Appearance 6, Inspiration 7, Willpower 8, Education 8, and Luck 7.
"Are the total points of everyone's initial attributes the same?" Schiller asked.
"Different," the Transcendent replied.
"Then are my total points considered high?"
"Uh, average. A total of 47 points. The total points do not exceed 50, belonging to the medium level."
"That is to say, my teammates have higher ones than me."
"Yes, but I cannot tell you the specific values."
"How high can it reach?"
"It won't exceed 60 points," the Transcendent said. "It mainly depends on the occupation you randomly get. Some occupations have particularly high points in some aspects. For example, if he is a strong man, he might have 9 points in Size initially."
Schiller nodded. In his view, the occupation he randomly got belongs to the relatively average one, but he would rather be like this than have a few items be 1. In that case, he would have to consume a large number of free attribute points to fill the holes.
"What are my health and Mental Health values?"
"You have to see this yourself after officially entering the game."
"See it myself? Is there a health bar?"
"There is no specific health bar, but when these two values decrease, there will be obvious effects, and with the decrease, you will subjectively feel pain. You can use this to judge how much health you have left."
"Very strict," Schiller said softly. "But I like it."
"This is indeed a new attempt," the Transcendent said. "Because more and more superheroes are starting to think about whether they can still become heroes if they don't have everything they have now, so we created such a role-playing instance."
Schiller smiled and said, "Only heroes will think about such questions."
"Do you want to start the game?" the Transcendent said.
"Play the opening animation for me again, I mean that audio, and then let me enter the game."
The Transcendent played the audio again, and Schiller's blurry vision finally gradually became clear.
Then he was hit hard in an instant.
"Uh..."
He bit his lip hard to keep himself from crying out in pain, but he did feel as if his head had been hit by a hammer.
Because there was a corpse lying in front of him.
Now Schiller understood what the Transcendent meant by "obvious effects" when the values decreased.
Schiller's eyes were blood-red, and his head hurt as if it were about to explode. It took a few seconds before he recovered a little.
Is this serious? Schiller thought. Just looking at a corpse killed by an anomaly is so painful, does this broken game still have combat segments?
Schiller couldn't control his body and fell backward. He sat on the ground and soon discovered that there were several other people around him in a similar situation.
Through the reflection of the window glass, Schiller discovered that he was actually still himself. At least in his own field of vision, his appearance had not changed at all, and in his field of vision, these people were also acquaintances.
The only two people standing in the field were both Batman.
Schiller recognized the stronger one at a glance; it should be the main universe Batman.
The other one was interesting. His appearance was not Bruce Wei En, but he looked somewhat like Bruce Wei En. He looked older than Bruce, and the coldness revealed in his eyes made him look like an unusual Batman.
Owlman?
Among the rest who sat on the ground like him, one of them unexpectedly had the same face as him; that was Greed.
Schiller didn't want to look at the one next to Greed, but he had to, because this guy was bizarrely wearing a white lab coat; that was Bruce.
Suddenly, Schiller had a very bad premonition. Did the Transcendent just say that someone drew the psychologist occupation?
Could it be Bruce???
Schiller decided to look at the corpse a few more times. Not wanting to look at Bruce was one aspect, and if this corpse could lower his Mental Health value to the bottom and then take him away, that would be even better.
Among the other two lying on the ground, one was the Joker, but his expression was very special. He was not as dark as other Jokers and had an elegant temperament. Schiller suspected this was the White Knight.
The other one was also the Joker, but this one was also an old acquaintance, the Heath Joker from the Bat-family.
Greed seemed to have just come back to his senses. He looked at the opposite side and exclaimed, "Pride?!"
Obviously, he hadn't talked to the Transcendent about the teammate problem just now. Although this sentence was muted, Schiller still saw what he wanted to say from his lip movements.
Then could they communicate through lip movements?
"Don't think about it," the Transcendent's voice rang in Schiller's ears. "If others see you constantly making lip movements, they will treat you as lunatics and might miss many clues."
Fine, Schiller thought, that does make some sense.
But the biggest problem now is obviously not that he and Greed were assigned to the same instance, but that Bruce, Owlman, and the main universe Batman were assigned to the same instance.
When these three people came back to their senses, they unexpectedly appeared in the famous scene of three Spider-Men pointing at each other.
But what they said was also muted.
Schiller was not very interested in what they said, so he didn't look at their lip movements. However, looking at the colorful expressions of the two Jokers next to him, he could roughly guess what they said.
After a while, they also discovered that words that did not conform to their character identities could not be said, so they could only stand in place and stare at each other.
After Schiller stood up, he discovered that he was not wearing his black suit, but a set of clothes that looked a bit like a priest's outfit but had some golden patterns. Others were also wearing clothes that were relatively consistent with their respective occupations.
Schiller took a quick look and could roughly judge that the strongest-looking main universe Batman seemed to be a hunter, because in addition to a fur coat, he also had a thick piece of fur wrapped around his waist, a bow on his back, and a hunting rifle in his hand.
Owlman should be a policeman. He was wearing a police uniform, his hat was in his hand, and a pistol was hanging from his waist.
Both a hunting rifle and a pistol were present, which proved two things. First, most of the combat in this game should not be solved by guns. Second, finding bullets should be the main theme of their search later, because guns are not necessarily easy to use against monsters, but they are better than anything else for threatening people.
The Joker suspected to be the White Knight was wearing a suit and glasses. Judging from the style of the suit, he was either in finance or a lawyer.
The real Joker was wearing an apron stained with paint, and his hands were covered in pencil and charcoal dust, seeming to be a painter.
Greed was the most special. He was wearing mountaineering gear and holding a camera, as if he were here for tourism.
Through the dress and appearance of these people, Schiller could determine one thing, which was that the era background of this game was modern.
First of all, the police uniform Owlman was wearing was clearly a modern police uniform. Although it should have been fabricated by synthesizing the characteristics of many countries' police uniforms, it was definitely not the clothing of any medieval law enforcement team.
The pistol he was carrying was also an obvious modern thermal weapon, looking similar to the standard equipment of the FBI.
Not to mention Bruce and the White Knight; the doctor and lawyer uniforms they were wearing were both very modern styles.
Greed was the most intuitive. His mountaineering gear looked very much like a set from a famous mountaineering brand, which is not something medieval people could make.
A modern-background anomaly instance? Schiller finally raised some interest. He really found it hard to imagine that these anomalies could still exist in the presence of modern thermal weapons.
However, judging from the pain he suffered just after looking at the corpse, this is not impossible, because this thing is more likely to be a mental attack, and human thermal weapons may not be able to attack them.
Schiller was increasingly glad that he chose the Requiem-giver occupation. If he had chosen the Judge, he might not have been able to hit the monster.
Everyone was looking at each other. Schiller felt he should stand up and preside over the situation, but suddenly everyone's eyes fell on him and Greed.
Batman's expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
