Global Games: My Skills Can Be Upgraded Infinitely

Rongdu International High School:

Early in the morning, Mo Lan, wearing sunglasses, sat in her seat, staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling utterly bored.

After the last Schrödinger instance, apart from the players who died at the hands of Flander, there were no other players in the school.

After the Special Affairs Bureau blurred their memories of death, the other students mostly continued their lives as usual.

Mo Lan originally didn't want to come to school anymore, but he couldn't resist Lin Youyou and Sally Yeh's constant phone calls early in the morning.

"I just came out of a dungeon two days ago... Is it really necessary to go to school?"

He leaned back in his chair, completely giving up.

Sally behind him rocked his chair back and forth:

"Haven't you watched anime? No matter how amazing a high school student is, even if they save the world, they still have to go to school afterward."

"This is what youth is all about... don't you understand?!"

"Alright, alright, youth... I'll definitely bring chakra next time."

Mo Lan sighed.

"By the way, why are you wearing sunglasses today? Are you trying to look cool?" Lin Youyou came over from the side, her little hands restless and eager to reach out.

Sally was also curious.

Upon hearing this, Mo Lan had no choice but to pull down her sunglasses, revealing her blue eyes: "The new stuff I got from the dungeon is very useful."

Sariel was taken aback, then leaned in close: "No way? It's so beautiful! It's like the Siberian sky!"

Lin Youyou also curiously came over.

Mo Lan felt a little numb from being stared at, so she made an excuse to buy water and left the classroom, only to find that the convenience store wasn't even open yet because she had arrived too early.

He could only sit on the chair in front of the convenience store, looking up in a daze.

He was reflecting on and reviewing the previous battles, as well as the direction of his future skill development.

After the electric current propelled the evolution into a magnetic field, it directly caused a qualitative leap in Mo Lan's combat power.

If C-level skills were to be ranked, then Magnetic Field Rotation would undoubtedly be the best of the best.

This is a true hexagonal skill; combined with the high cellular activity granted by the progenitor virus, it's practically the most stat-monster of stats.

As for the Virtual Zero, Mo Lan spent a considerable amount of time trying to understand the principles behind this skill, which even she herself did not know.

The essence of virtual zero, omitting complex physical formulas, can be simply described as follows: the force of magnetic field rotation forcibly maintains the ultimate compression and chain reaction of microscopic particles.

Hundreds of millions of microscopic particles collide and fission within an extremely small area, using Mo Lan's body as a relay.

Like a nuclear bomb, the explosion multiplied exponentially, and finally, with a deafening "boom," it reduced everything in sight to ashes.

This move was created by Mo Lan out of instinct under the threat of death, solely in pursuit of sufficient destructive power to break the deadlock, and therefore it was somewhat hasty.

During the attack on Jizhou, he even cut off his own arm.

Now that the principle is clear, Mo Lan has also sorted out the subsequent enhancement route for Virtual Zero.

As long as one's magnetic field is strong enough and there are enough microscopic particles to be confined, then theoretically speaking...

Mo Lan can rub a black hole with her bare hands.

Of course, this is just theory.

Currently, his Virtual Zero, in terms of sheer scale, can only destroy one house at most. He simply cannot control more than that, as there is a risk of backlash.

Crucially, this technique consumes a great deal of magnetic field power.

It's the kind of move where the power you exert determines the amount of force you get.

Because it uses the most basic and fundamental physics formulas in the world, there is almost no room for optimization.

"I should focus on figuring out the basics of virtual zero first; thinking about anything else will only give me a headache," Mo Lan sighed inwardly.

A cool breeze was blowing.

Suddenly someone came straight to Mo Lan's side.

"Excuse me, Senior Mo Lan, do you have a moment?"

So you were looking for me?

Mo Lan opened her eyes, looked at the boy who had come to her, and thought for a moment:

"Let me think...you are...Ye Hu, a second-year high school student?"

"what?"

The boy named Ye Hu was taken aback, then raised his hand in surprise, pointing to himself: "Senior, you actually know my name?"

Mo Lan's gaze drifted slightly: "Ah... I might have heard about it before, after all, you have excellent athletic performance."

I was just kidding. I don't remember at all. It was just that Six Eyes pulled it out from the roster in my memory.

The boy named Ye Hu was a well-known sports star in his high school.

"Ahem, so what's up with you calling me?" Mo Lan changed the subject.

Ye Hu immediately grasped at a straw and began to explain to Mo Lan.

The international university they attended had many after-school clubs, and Ye Hu came from the "Detective Club".

Originally, this was just a small community where mystery enthusiasts gathered to exchange information about mystery books.

Until last night, in order to investigate a cold case of suicide.

The four members of their group teamed up and went to the scene of the case to conduct an on-site investigation.

So-called field reasoning refers to a group activity in which participants go to the scene of the incident, combine multiple clues, personally simulate the behavior of the victim and the perpetrator, and then deduce the whole process.

Ye Hu, one of the group, was originally dragged along by his friends to have fun, but they never expected to encounter something so terrible there.

The girl who was supposed to commit suicide suddenly appeared and dragged them into a bizarre instance.

That instance is quite different from the instances in the game of fate; it possesses a strong labyrinthine nature and is virtually indestructible.

And in the dark depths of the labyrinth, there seem to be many monsters that crave to devour flesh and blood.

In the endless maze, Ye Hu and his companions were separated while being chased by monsters, and in the end, only he managed to escape.

However, after Ye Hu called the police, the officers arrived at the scene and conducted an inspection, but found no abnormal indicators.

This is quite awkward, because the absence of abnormal indicators means it's not a dungeon invasion from the game of fate.

Even Ye Hu himself could no longer enter that instance.

After receiving the report, the Special Affairs Bureau immediately dispatched players to investigate the situation, but they were also clueless and had to wait for the bureau's technical experts to arrive tomorrow.

But Ye Hu was worried that his friend wouldn't last long in the dungeon, so he had to find a way to seek help from others.

He tossed and turned at home all night and finally decided to come find Mo Lan first thing in the morning.

"So... you decided to come find me because you witnessed my fight at school that day, and your memory of it wasn't blurred?"

"That's right!"

As Ye Hu spoke, his eyes still shone with admiration for Mo Lan, making it almost impossible for anyone to refuse him.

Mo Lan gently pulled down her sunglasses, her azure pupils sweeping over Ye Hu before she raised an eyebrow slightly.

This guy seems to be a reserve player.

The term "reserve players" refers to those who have been selected by the game of fate but have not yet been recruited.

Through the Six Eyes, Mo Lan could see that the game imprint in Ye Hu's soul was gradually taking shape.

But the problem is, if what happened yesterday was a copy, then why hasn't Ye Hu awakened yet?

If it's not a dungeon invasion, then what is causing this trouble? Could it be some kind of vengeful ghost seeking revenge?

"Interesting. I'll go with you, but I can't guarantee I can save anyone."

Mo Lan felt that something was definitely up to something behind the scenes.

And it seems to be something very interesting. I happen to have some free time, so I might as well go and take a look.

"Very good!"

Ye Hu was overjoyed; his friend was saved.

He had witnessed the battle between Moran and Flanders, and therefore believed that the other side could definitely rescue his friend.

Mo Lan wasted no time, grabbed Ye Hu by the collar, and climbed over the school wall.

They then took the subway to the old town where the incident occurred.

Three years ago, this place was destroyed by a level 6 dungeon invasion, resulting in large-scale casualties.

Due to game limitations, the military cannot directly intervene.

The Special Affairs Bureau, together with Giant God Company and Kyushu Group, launched two separate operations, both of which ended in failure.

In the end, a top-tier player had to step in despite being extremely busy to finally complete the dungeon.

As the two walked out of the subway station, the urban area still retained both renovated and newly built states.

The unsolved suicide occurred in an abandoned school in the old city.

Three months ago, a female student from a nearby university, suspectedly due to relationship problems and bullying, committed suicide by jumping off a building in this abandoned school.

After that, there were rumors that strange vengeful spirits lingered in the abandoned school.

This incident sparked considerable discussion and debate on local forums, with some bloggers even risking their lives to investigate.

Many people who aspire to be players see this as a good opportunity and therefore actively come here to explore, hoping to increase their chances of being recruited into the game of destiny.

However, no one has been able to confirm that there is actually a copy here.

Ye Hu and his three companions came here to conduct on-site reasoning for this reason.

After all, many bloggers had done this before them, so they regarded this place as an ordinary crime scene.

Who would have thought that they would be so incredibly unlucky, experiencing the most terrifying night of their lives.

After hearing Ye Hu's explanation on the way, Mo Lan couldn't help but sigh:

"You guys are really ignorant and fearless."

"Sorry, senior."

Ye Hu scratched his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed by their reckless behavior.

The player community is like a walled city; those inside want to get out, and those outside want to get in.

Those who haven't truly experienced dungeons can't understand how the phrase "nine deaths and one life" is written.

Mo Lan looked at Ye Hu's simple-minded appearance and smiled helplessly:

"I'll help you this once."

"Thanks!!"

To be honest, Mo Lan herself was also a little itchy to try it.

The two arrived at the abandoned school, passed through the corroded iron railings, and soon arrived at the classroom where the girl had jumped to her death years ago.

The classroom was full of dust and cobwebs, and covered with messy footprints.

The moment Mo Lan stepped into the classroom, she sensed the unusual atmosphere.

Although it is hidden very well, it does exist.

He went to the broken window and looked down, where he saw the location where the body had fallen, which the police had drawn three months earlier.

Ye Hu said from the side, "The four of us were simulating a crime scene in the classroom when suddenly the flashlight went out."

"When the flashlight came on again, the sky outside had turned blood red, and the corridor outside the classroom had become a maze with constantly changing routes."

"We were trying to find a way out, but we were chased by a monster halfway there, which is why we got separated."

Mo Lan leaned against the window, her eyes behind her sunglasses thoughtful: "Something like a subspace, similar to the real world or the outer world?"

"Let me think..."

He walked to the center of the room and took off his sunglasses.

At this moment, Six Eyes was like a V8 engine with the accelerator floored, starting to analyze every detail in the classroom with all its might.

Simulating and reasoning about all the traces is like rewinding and playing back a video.

If Mo Lan were to change careers one day, he would definitely become a very skilled master of physical evidence-based reasoning.

"Judging from the traces, although it was deliberately covered up, it is obvious that someone left something here."

"The lingering resentment of that suicidal girl didn't become a vengeful spirit on its own; rather, it was catalyzed by some kind of force that caused this mutation."

Mo Lan continued to analyze those traces and residual power.

Suddenly, something's gaze swept over him and then quickly disappeared.

"Hmm...because they realized I'm not an ordinary person, so they don't want to drag me into this?"

Mo Lan caught that fleeting glance.

After a moment's thought, he slowly raised his right hand, aimed it at the podium in the classroom, and made a virtual zero gesture.

"Sizzle..."

In an instant, the classroom was filled with a sudden, windless atmosphere, and a distorted, dark substance crackling with electric arcs gradually formed at his fingertips.

"That, that's...?!"

Ye Hu watched in stunned silence.

Mo Lan then slightly raised the corners of her mouth and said to the classroom, "Hey, listen up, I don't care what you're preparing here, I'm only going to count to ten."

"If you don't show up in ten seconds, I'll destroy the entire school building."

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

"Clatter!"

It sounded like someone had turned on the lights.

Before Mo Lan could finish counting down, the entire classroom suddenly went dark, as if some being had stolen the "light".

When the light returned, Mo Lan and Ye Hu found themselves in the world shrouded in the blood moon.
