Chapter 113: The Genie: You will receive the rewards you deserve

The Zeta Zeperion Ray swept across the sky. As Freddy's face froze in terror and the entire game world was bathed in gold, thunderous cheers erupted here.

"We won!"

Amidst the cheering, the gradually fading Tiga reached out his hand and gave a thumbs-up to every participant.

Clap, clap, clap.

In the void, Ding Hao applauded softly. This was a classic story of justice triumphing over evil, and a victory achieved without any superheroes; every participant could be called a hero at this moment.

What a magnificent play. It had been a long time since Ding Hao had seen such a dramatic and gripping performance.

They deserved praise for such a performance.

Ding Hao waved his right hand, and two streams of light fell into the Team System. The deep emotional network spread further, successfully binding itself to the entire Earth.

From now on, everyone on Earth could enter this network through the power of emotion. A single account was directly bound to the individual; there was absolutely no such thing as a secondary account.

Next came the rewards for every participant.

The "I Am God" account appeared once again, sending different private messages to the hundreds of thousands of participants.

The most common reward was Emotion Coins. This official currency of the emotional network would become the most stable currency in the world—bar none.

I Am God: 【Thank you all for your tremendous help. We have successfully resolved the system bug that was the Dream Demon. Now, the emotion system is more stable and will exist forever at the foundation of the world, providing services to everyone.】

【To ensure the emotion network can provide service functions more stably and efficiently, our technical staff has performed a deep upgrade on the emotion network. The announcement for this upgrade is as follows.】

【Emotion Network Official Version 1.1 Upgrade Announcement.】

【Major Updates:

1. We have removed the setting that required a helmet to log into the network, as this would prevent every player from better utilizing our services. Therefore, from now on, everyone can enter the network anytime, anywhere by consuming Emotion Coins. The tentative price is: 1 Emotion Coin/day/session.

2. To better distinguish game scenarios and ensure a normal gaming experience for everyone, we have decoupled the game scenarios from the deep binding of the emotion network. Now, whether you are playing a game or not, you can earn corresponding Emotion Coins~

3. To allow the emotion network to be more useful, we have set up an Emotion Coin exchange function. Currently, there are over 3 trillion types of products listed. Related products can be browsed or searched for via fuzzy queries in the exchange interface.

4. To provide a better experience for participants, we have added unofficial circulation and exchange functions. You only need to use Emotion Coins to have items appraised in the appraisal area to trade with others within the emotion network. Each transaction will only incur a 5% service fee of the item's selling price. Official tip: Beware of scams; let's look out for each other.】

【Activity Reward Section:

To thank all participants for their joint efforts, we will issue one-time rewards based on each player's participation and contribution. Only the special rewards for the top 1,000 players are displayed here. Let us cheer for the miracle we achieved together!

1st Place Reward: Permanent exemption from emotion network login fees, 50% off transaction service fees for the first ten transactions daily (cap of 500), permanent 5% increase in Emotion Coin acquisition efficiency, Giant of Light Transformation Device (one-time use).

301st to 1,000th Place: Ten free logins per month; the count will refresh at 24:00 at the end of the month according to emotion network time.】

After everyone received the announcement, the Team System's only programmer, Cobb Carpenter, remained silent.

"Our joint update? Our technical staff?"

"Genie, you are too polite. This kind of thing is not something I could participate in; you flatter me too much."

Cobb shook his head and walked toward his private space. His secondary administrator permissions had been revoked; perhaps this was the price of being the number one contributor.

In the private space, the virtual image of Cobb's sister remained in that position, with the hexagonal crystal representing the power of emotion rotating beside her. Touching it would reveal the Emotion Coin balance and allow the use of other emotion network functions.

Besides these, a Tiga Transformation Device emitting a milky white light floated in the private space.

Cobb stepped forward, grasped the transformation device, and the appraised information appeared before his eyes.

Giant of Light Transformation Device: Tiga

One-time use: Becomes ineffective after use.

Introduction: Tiga is a Giant of Light dedicated to protecting humanity and fighting evil. He does not participate in conflicts between humans themselves, nor will he stop humans from making their own decisions. After transforming through this device, the user will be able to obtain stronger or weaker power based on whether their actions violate the will of the Giant of Light...

Standard attributes after transformation:

Level: 21

Strength: 21 (same for legendary points)

Agility: 21

Constitution:??

Intelligence: 21

Traits: Avatar of Light (gain 300% attack effect bonus against evil), Avatar of Justice (gain 100% all-attribute bonus when facing unjust acts; this trigger condition is determined by the shared moral values of humans and the Giant of Light).

Skills: Power Type, Speed Type, Balanced Type, Glitter Type (sealed), Zeta Zeperion Ray, etc.

A very powerful reward. Cobb believed that after using it, during the transformation period, there shouldn't be many people on Earth who could fight him.

However, something like "Avatar of Justice" didn't seem to suit him very well.

Cobb shook his head, released his grip on the transformation device, turned his gaze to the crystal, tapped his finger, withdrew the Emotion Coins, and input them toward his sister.

As the Emotion Coins were rapidly consumed, the first part of the progress bar advanced quickly. Soon, the first stage was completed.

"Hmm... seems like I've slept for a long time..." Cobb's sister, Lola, rubbed her eyes and immediately saw Cobb clenching his fists, suppressing his excitement. "Hi, good morning. You've grown so big!"

"Sister!" Cobb lunged forward, hugging his relative tightly, tears streaming down his face. "I missed you so much! I really missed you!"

Lola paused, then patted Cobb's back with her small hand, comforting him. "Don't cry, don't cry. Isn't sister back now..."

Cobb wiped his tears and looked at the second-stage requirement for resurrection: establishing a stable connection between Lola and reality.

"Sister, let's go traveling." A smile bloomed on Cobb's face.

"Good idea, but won't that Hydra keep pestering you?" Lola asked with some concern.

"Small problem." Cobb smiled and, with a hint of showing off, pulled up the Team System. Ding Hao had taken back the emotion network administrator rights, but had instead returned the original game system administrator rights to him.

The entire Team System operated rapidly. All of Cobb's data disappeared right under Hydra's nose. Even Dr. Zola, living in the network, could not stop or reverse this process.

From the very first second he joined Hydra, Cobb had been thinking about how to escape.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow~" Lola watched Cobb's performance and let out an exclamation.

Her exclamation easily satisfied Cobb's vanity, making him quite content.

Immediately after, Cobb accessed the emotion network, performed a fuzzy search, and transferred the item...

With a snap, hundreds of pages of information popped up directly.

Relatively safe, priced under 10 Emotion Coins, not easily discovered...

After adding several restrictions, the search results shrank significantly. Cobb chose the one at the very top without hesitation.

Teleportation Talisman (one-time use): A single-use teleportation talisman manufactured based on the power of the Traveler path, allowing one to teleport while perceiving the outside situation... ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
