Extraordinary Player - Chapter 47
Qin Guan could only smile wryly towards the Spirit Art. He knew it, all things that were related to the game were practically a joke…
Fortunately, he added his status point to STR just then. If he added all of them to SPR, while the damage of the Spirit Art might go up, wouldn’t the skill end up being useless if he ended up getting engaged with someone in close-quarters combat?
Players loved playing as wizards because they could toy with warriors from a long distance!
“Oh well, at least it’s better than nothing. I’ll forgive you for now.”
Qin Guan noticed that he had become more and more tolerant and calm lately. Last time, when he was duped by the system, he felt really bitter about it for a long time, but now? Hahahahahaha…
This was normal. He was already used to it.
But speaking of which, while the rewards the system arranged for him might seem like a joke, the Spirit Art had to have its profound meaning. Hence, Qin Guan did not feel too resigned.

So what if it was a Spirit Art designed for close-quarters combat? The key point lay in how he used it, right?
“That being said, Su Xiaoyu shouldn’t have received her Spirit Art yet, right? Hahahaha! I can finally boast that I got something before her!”
Su Xiaoyu had turned her nose up at him during the first two trials. While Qin Guan had regained his dignity during the Hit Backhand and the third trial, he still remembered his grudge.
He returned to the reality and switched to the useless person’s body. He flipped his right hand over, and a ball of flames immediately rose from his palm.
Qin Guan opened his bedroom door happily, and he saw Su Xiaoyu tossing a ball of flames around. She tossed it to her right hand from her left, then tossed it back to her left from her right.
While her flames were much smaller than Qin Guan’s and the damage was also much lower, she could toss it around…
“What’s going on? Are you going to join the circus?”
Qin Guan was instantly baffled. ‘Why is it that I can only use my Spirit Art for close-quarters combat and she can toss it around as much as she likes?
‘Besides, I only obtained my Spirit Art after opening a ton of chests, so where did you get your Spirit Art?!’
“Where did you get you Spirit Art?” Qin Guan asked with shock on his face
Su Xiaoyu looked at the flames in Qin Guan’s right hand like she had not understood the question. “Why are you asking me that when you know the answer? Of course I got it in the same way you did!”
Qin Guan was speechless.
‘We definitely did NOT get it in the same way!’
Su Xiaoyu looked at him askance. “Qin Guan, do you seriously think I’m such an idiot that I can’t even get full completion for Novice and Easy modes?”
“Oh… That’s not what I meant. Alright, congrats…”
Qin Guan gave her a few perfunctory compliments before going back to his room.
He had indeed forgotten about this. While the others could not receive the bronze chests for Despair Mode and Crazy Mode, they could receive the silver chests and gold chests from Novice Mode and Easy Mode…
They could also receive the higher quality chests from all three trials. With that being the case, they could obtain around the same amount of chests as Qin Guan.
Naturally, while the number of chests they obtained were about the same, Qin Guan’s high-end rewards were definitely better.
He could only challenge Developer’s Difficulty Mode, after all. Once he reached a certain completion rate, he could receive all the rewards for the other difficulty levels, but it was not the case for the others.
Therefore, quite a number of people should have received their first Spirit Arts, and when Qin Guan took into consideration that the Spirit Arts the players obtained were random after they combined the Spirit Art Fragments, there would certainly be some lucky bastards who obtained really useful Spirit Arts…
Qin Guan felt really terrible for not being able to act cool.
But fortunately, he still had one Diamond Lottery Ticket left. This item was something only he could receive.
He wondered whether he could get a Random Model Restorer this time as well. Secretly, he actually hoped that he could get another model that would raise everyone’s level of difficulty…
He was absolutely not taking revenge on society or anything, what were you thinking?
When he returned to the world in his mind, Qin Guan brought out the Diamond Lottery Ticket.
“I hope I can get another Random Model Restorer. Then… improve my luck and also increase everyone else’s difficulties, please!”
With an idealistic wish, Qin Guan watched the Diamond Lottery Ticket burst into blue flames before it disappeared into the air.
*Ting.*
A clear sound rang, and a golden key that appeared with the particle illusion effect fell in front of Qin Guan.
“What the heck? When I want a Random Model Restorer, you refuse to give it to me? So… what exactly is this thing?”
Qin Guan bent down and picked up the key from the floor. He then observed it carefully.
[Backdoor Key: –]
“Another item without any descriptions? Could you be more serious when writing descriptions? It’s very difficult for me to guess if you do things this way!”
Qin Guan noticed that the Lottery Tickets from the Developer’s Difficulty Level often gave him items that did not have any descriptions. Was it because the items were given to the developer, which was why it did not require any description?
Qin Guan held the key, but he did not know where to stick it. There was no lock around…
However, at that moment, Qin Guan sensed that a unique area had appeared in the world in his mind. It was like an invisible vortex, or rather, an entrance.
He instinctively went in that direction. Then, he vanished from the world in his mind.
“Where… is this?”
When Qin Guan registered what happened, he had already arrived at a completely different place.
He could sense that he was still in the world in his mind. However, he was no longer in the pure, white dimension. Instead, he was in a hall.
The light was not bright, but what came through the narrow etched glass windows allowed him to see everything around him.
The floor was so bright that it could serve as a mirror. Qin Guan could even see his own reflection.
The hall around him had bits of every style in existence mixed up together. It had bits of Gothic, bits of Victorian… and bits of Ancient Chinese architecture all jumbled up together.
It sounded strange, but all the different styles blended well together. This made the style in the hall not stick out like a sore thumb. It also made the people wonder where exactly they were.
Since the different styles blended perfectly with each other, it made the hall seem magnificent, huge… and a little gloomy.
Perhaps it was because this was an old building, but the lighting in it was not very good. However, the complex patterns etched into the windows and carved into the stone pillars commanded respect from all who saw them.
The hall encircled Qin Guan, and there was no door leading out. After all, Qin Guan warped to this place straight from the world in his mind.
The hall was built in the shape of a dome. Besides the direction Qin Guan faced, an altar could be found at a set distance from him in every direction.
He counted them. There were a total of fourteen altars, and they were evenly distributed in the hall. It was a layout that would please a person with OCD.
Ahead of him was a small hall, and there were four stone statues to the left and right of it.
The stone statues were all very tall. They had hoods that covered their faces, so they could not be seen clearly. However, Qin Guan could vaguely tell that they were women.
Their backs were bent slightly, as if they served the throne located near the forefront of the small hall.
But there was no one on the throne.
Before the throne was the center of the room. The four statues seemed to be surrounding that particular spot. There was a pit there, but it was empty.
However, something seemed to be sticking out of the floor before the pit. Once Qin Guan stepped on the stairs leading to the small hall, he would be able to see it.
“Hello? Is anyone here?” Qin Guan called out, but no one answered him.
When he thought about it, he found this logical. If someone answered him, it would mean that the place was haunted…
He explored the place a little. While it was rather huge, it had few items that were useful.
Qin Guan suspected that his UI was broken. Once he entered the place, he no longer saw any description boxes on any of the items.
When he reached the small hall, he gingerly sat down on the throne.
‘Yup, feels quite good. But nothing happened.’
Qin Guan stood up from the throne, and his attention was caught by the pit in front of him.
There was a black object sticking out of the floor there. When Qin Guan observed it, he found that it resembled a sword handle.
