Chapter 18: Rules

"Please do not feel like the system is discriminating against you because of the harsh rules against the opposing fate camp players in the first game. My suggestion was fair and inclined to your benefit. The opponents you met in the novice world were all newbies who had never won and had no special abilities. The battle royale melee world will have all the players with 200-50000 points and with your luck value, you'll definitely be pitted against a player with high points. Without a special QR code, it'll be very difficult for you to win so I'll give you another chance." The black and white rubix cube said very sincerely.

Xing Ye nodded, "I understand. It's probably already been ten seconds, I still choose the mirror."

The black and white cube spun as a big smiley face design formed on the side of the cube that was facing Xing Ye: "Congratulations to the player for choosing the most troublesome prop. The mirror will be delivered shortly."

After saying that, a new card appeared on Xing Ye's bookshelf with a QR code on it.

The wristband had already turned back into a phone, which Xing Ye used to scan the code.

With a 'ding!', the QR code faded away and a folding cosmetic mirror appeared in Xing Ye's hand.

A description of the mirror appeared on the phone: This is a mirror that cannot be brought to the real world. He might possess special abilities, but they can only be used if the mirror agrees with his owner; he might have a name, but he will only tell it if he's interested in the owner. After breaking away from his status as a mission prop, he can now talk but whether he actually talks depends on his mood. In summary, this is a hard to use mirror where you can't even use it to look at yourself without checking his mood.

Overall grade: 0.5 out of 5 stars prop. Just a little bit better than trash.

That evaluation was... really bad.

Xing Ye opened the mirror and found it was pitch black. He tapped the mirror, "Wake up, you aren't a mission prop anymore."

The mirror lit up but still didn't reflect Xing Ye's face. It was just a white surface.

The mirror trembled and spoke: "Why am I here?"

His voice sounded very young, crisp and clean.

"My prop reward for refining the plot," Xing Ye said, "You won't have to be controlled by the system anymore."

The mirror's voice turned hurt: "A prop reward for refining the plot... so I'm already just considered a prop by the system?"

"Nah, it let me only pick one between a mission prop and a special QR code so I chose you."

The mirror sounded very angry: "Are you stupid? You can't go into a fighting world without special abilities! My points are zero, I can't use my starting skills, and my special QR codes have all been taken away by the system! I can't help you at all!"

Xing Ye didn't care, "It's not like I was expecting you to help."

He just couldn't stand by and helplessly watch a fellow human be sealed in the game, controlled like a prop. Of course, the main reason he did it was because he knew how kindhearted the mirror was so when he heard the mirror speak up angrily for him, Xing Ye knew he made the right choice.

Because of his luck value, he didn't know what kind of special QR code he would draw. Furthermore, since he had a chance to save somebody, why wouldn't he help them?

When he saw the mirror was still panting with rage, Xing Ye pondered for a few moments before deciding to make the mirror feel useful: "What's a special QR code?"
