Online Game: I Have a Rule-Based Talent, What Can You Compete With?

(A game novel, instance-dungeon progression, myriad worlds, invincible protagonist, original story, no harem.) [First instance: supernatural horror. Second: Cthulhu. Third: The Outcast: Tian Gang Chronicles (heavily altered).] In the summer of 2025, a virtual gaming paradise combining brain-computer interfaces with AI-generated content went on sale. Its realistic settings and logically consistent, lifelike instances captivated gamers around the world as soon as it launched. In this phenomenon-level game, every character received a random talent upon creation. The talents varied, but each had its own unique strengths. Chen Hongyu drew a talent called “Choose Again.” Its description sounded ordinary enough: you could choose again. So he tried for another random talent: Talent Modification Master. You can enhance one piece of equipment? Once? No, twice. Faction quest? Evil or good? I’ll take both! Quest reward? Choose one of three? I’ll take two! Only one hint? I want one more! He’d thought his talent was completely useless. Who knew it was a rule-based talent? Just now... you gave me a choice, right? Then I get to choose one more. You don’t mind, do you?
