When a person is unlucky, they can choke on cold water or steamed buns…"Cough cough cough ~" I accidentally choked on the steamed bun. I beat my chest hard. Sometimes, I really wonder if this is a game. It hurts when I'm injured, it tastes good when I eat, and even choking now…
Actually, I only found out later that the 'pain level' that I could set in the 'System Setting' tab would be set to 100% by default for every newbie when they enter the game. However, it could be adjusted…The 'pain level' that could be adjusted was a very good human-friendly setting. It could satisfy those who were afraid of pain and those who had 'special sensory enjoyment'(that is, masochists!).!) needs.
At the same time, there was also the 'pleasure level', which corresponded to the' pain level'. Then, your pleasure level will also be reduced by 80%... and there is also the visual tolerance level. You can avoid things you hate or fear by controlling it, such as insects, snakes, rats, blood and internal organs... and so on. For example, the terrifying animal system will turn them into cartoons and cute... and the blood and internal organs will also disappear. Even if you cut a person's waist, you won't see his blood splattering or internal organs flying everywhere. You will only see a person being cut into two, and the wound will be as smooth as wood. If you don't change these two settings, they will default to 100% like the 'pain level'... These things are mentioned on the official website of the Tianhua Group. Unfortunately, I don't have a computer at home, so I naturally don't know about these.
At this moment, a dense group of glowing eyes suddenly appeared on the grass. This was the reason why I choked on the steamed bun. I was surrounded!!
"Do I really have to die?”Looking at the tens of thousands of little green snakes on the ground, I felt my hair stand on end. However, for some reason, the group of snakes didn't immediately make me attack. Instead, they swayed their bodies on the grass. This scene made me wonder if I had triggered some hidden storyline again. The ground shook and a sharp cry sounded from behind me. I turned around and heard the sound of countless branches breaking in the forest behind me. Then, I saw the small snakes on the ground opening up a path. Seeing this, I didn't need to guess that the BOSS was about to appear. Fortunately, the small snakes didn't make a path for me. Therefore, I carefully dodged the small snakes on the ground and hid behind a big tree.
I held my breath behind the tree and waited. Then, a huge head drilled out of the forest. It looked about the same size as my three-wheeled motorcycle. It looked like a snake, but it wasn't a snake. It had a silver horn on its head and purple fur on its neck. Its body was about a meter thick. I didn't know how long it was because it stopped in the middle of the grassland. I believed that there was still a long section in the forest.
When I arrived at the center of the grassland, it let out a sharp and ear-piercing sound just like before. The same system that shook my eardrums actually notified me that I had suffered a sound wave attack and lost 80 HP. I was instantly scared out of my wits and stuffed a Blood Stopping Pill into my mouth to prevent myself from dying under the monster's 'high-song'. With the support of over ten Blood Stopping Pills, I finally managed to endure its terrifying sound wave attack. Then, it opened its big mouth. I wasn't too far away from it, so I could clearly see its sharp teeth that were as thick as my arm. My body trembled. I didn't know if I was excited or afraid. At this moment, a white light ball flew out of its huge mouth. The light ball floated in the air, as if it was absorbing the essence of the moon. The ball of light became brighter and brighter, just like the second moon.
Under the illumination of the white light, I could clearly feel that the little green snakes around me were changing. Their bodies were growing longer and larger. I cast an appraisal spell on them, and the system feedback to me was no longer a small green snake. Instead, it removed the word 'small' and became a green snake. Its original half-meter-long body suddenly became one meter long, and its level rose from level 8 to level 12.
"Could it be that this white light has the effect of raising one's level? But why didn't I level up? Or is this light only effective on monsters?" Seeing the green snakes level up by 4 in an instant, I felt a little sour in my heart. At the same time, I also set my sights on that ball of light.
" I don't know if I can snatch it…" At this moment, all I could see was this glowing ball of light. How could I see any danger?? I scrambled up the tree beside me because I realized that the light ball wasn't too far from the tree beside me. Perhaps I could reach it…However, when I finally reached the same height as the light ball, I realized that the 'not far' from the tree was at least 4 meters. Fortunately, the light ball would float closer and further away from time to time. Therefore, I made up my mind and grabbed the branches on both sides to stabilize my body. I grabbed the moment when it was closest to the tree and started to run up and jump…I hugged the ball of light and used the fastest speed I could to use the Gathering spell.
It wasn't as if there were no records of the Gathering Technique on the official website." Gathering is a skill that allows you to obtain special materials from dead monsters and certain special objects…" However, at the end of each Trade Skill introduction, they would always leave a sentence…When the skill reached a certain level, it would have a characteristic that exceeded its original level. As for what kind of characteristic it was, it was up to the players to explore.
In the end, Tianhua Group kept the players in suspense, but this could also arouse the curiosity of some players and make them join the skill practice that would cost a lot of money. In the early stages, the increase in the level of the Gathering skill would only increase the success rate, but when you reached the Master level, your success rate would have reached 100%. It could be said that it had lost its value to continue improving. However, the system had set up three higher levels after the master level, namely 'grandmaster',' immortal', and 'god'. This made people wonder if there was some kind of substance in these three levels, as the Tian Hua Group had claimed. However, until now, no one had discovered what kind of characteristics it had. Even I, the first person in the game to reach the' immortal level', had not discovered it…
'Gathering'

Ding! Gathering was a success…Finally, I heard the system's pleasant notification. However, it was also because I didn't feel any pain when I fell from the sky and turned into a white light and disappeared. I didn't know that the ball of light couldn't be obtained by Gathering. It didn't fit the two definition of Gathering in the system's introduction. A 'dead monster' was not dead at all, so this didn't make sense. The other was that it was a special item similar to a plant. However, the ball of light was originally the giant snake's own, so it was not a special item. Therefore, it was the characteristic of the immortal level Gathering skill. It was similar to the characteristic of the Snatch skill that a level 30 Thief could only learn after changing their class to Great Thief!! (Note: "Snatch Skill"-Requirement: 'Great Thief'. [Level Requirement: 30] [Special characteristics: Snatch other people's belongings or weapons. Beginner success rate 1%, Intermediate success rate 5%, Advanced success rate 10%, Master success rate 15%, Immortal success rate 20%, Divine success rate 50%.])
I still didn't know how lively the scene had become after I used the Gathering spell to snatch the ball of light. After losing the ball of light, the giant snake let out a shrill cry, and the surrounding green snakes began to flee in all directions. Following that, the giant snake writhed on the ground in pain…it turned out that this giant snake was actually a " flood dragon " with dragon blood in its body. According to the system's arrangements, tonight…which was the night the game was released, it and its nine brothers would be in different places to absorb the essence of the moon, and thus embark on the path of their ancestors 'evolution…to transform into a dragon!! However, the competition in the real world was fierce, and it was the same in this game world. Of the nine sons of a dragon, only one could ascend to become a dragon. Originally, it had a high chance of escaping from the nine brothers. Unfortunately, it was unlucky to meet me, a person who had an immortal level 'Gathering Technique'. After a few times of' Gathering Technique', I actually snatched its inner core. Without its inner core, it could not compete with its brothers and could only be reduced to the 'demonic beast level'.!) Flood Dragon!
'Blessing the dragon and bringing disaster to the flood dragon', this was something that the heavens had decided long ago. The eight pythons that could not become the divine beast Azure Dragon were destined to bring disaster to people…
A white light flashed in front of me and I found myself in a black tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was a white light. It really looked like the tunnel that people would see after they died on television. I couldn't help but smile bitterly."Isn't it just a game? Is there a need to be so serious?"
After passing through the end of the tunnel, I had already appeared in the magic array of the novice village. At the same time, there were many people who had returned to the village for free.
" Aiya…I lost my sword, my poor sword…I finally managed to " explode " you, but I didn't even have the chance to hold you. I didn't expect that it would be a " death sentence " now…Damn it, why aren't there any " Return Scrolls " for sale in this game?? "I have to use such a 'unique' way to return to the village…" A boy who was a warrior cried out with his empty hands.
The people around him looked at him sympathetically, and one of them reminded him,"It's not that there aren't any Return Scrolls, it's just that they can only be found in the city. It might not be cheap. Besides, newbies below Level 10 won't lose EXP even if they die. Even if there were, would you be willing to spend that money to buy it?”
"It won't lose experience, but it will drop items ~ My poor sword ~" The boy started to blame again, but this time, not many people looked at him. Instead, he went to the Potion Shop to replenish his items and continue leveling up, except for a few people who had just resurrected and were still looking at him curiously.
"Return Scroll? Oh ~~~~ Remember to buy a few more in the future. After level 10, you will lose 10% experience if you die. I don't want to be surrounded like tonight again.”I still have lingering fear when I recall the scene of being surrounded by the snakes. I roughly checked my bracelet and found that there were a few Blood Stopping Pills missing, but there was a white ball. I focused my attention and saw its name and description on top of the white ball…
'Flood-dragon Inner Core'-Material!
"The materials for the flood dragon inner core? Was it used to refine medicine? "But no matter how I look at it, this inner core is worth more than the few 'Blood Stopping Pills.' It seems like it was worth it this time…" Looking at the items in my bracelet, I secretly laughed, but didn't dare to take them out. After all, I still understood the principle of 'one should never reveal one's wealth.' The moment I walked out of the magic array, I realized that there were flashes behind me. I turned around and looked…
" Wow! It's so spectacular!" a girl screamed.
" Wow! It's so spectacular!" a girl screamed.
The others lowered their heads and started discussing."What's going on? So many people died?"
" The '100-man resurrection' is so spectacular…" They were right. After a flash of light, I saw more than 100 people appear in the magic array. Immediately, the originally small magic array became extremely crowded."Hey, brother, what's going on? Are you guys committing suicide together?"
"Mass suicide? Do you think I'm crazy?" A tall and strong man was in a bad mood after being killed.
" Then you are..." The man didn't mind the man's tone and asked curiously.
" A super big BOSS was discovered in the forest. That guy only shouted once and instantly brought everyone back…"
"It can't be, right? That exaggerated?"
" I lied to you, I'm that…" Suddenly, the burly man could only open his mouth but could not make a sound. It seemed that his words had been muted by the system because he had mixed in some 'certain' organs of the human body. The burly man realized that he could only open his mouth but could not make a sound, so he could only shut his mouth gloomily.
"He's right, we don't know how such a big BOSS appeared. Hey, did anyone see what the BOSS looked like?”At this moment, a handsome boy stood up to testify for the burly man.
" I…I…" A skinny man walked out from the crowd with a dagger in his hand. It was obvious that he was a Thief. " I saw it…Oh my god! That thing was as big as a train. After I saw it, I even 'touched' it out of professional habit. Unfortunately, I didn't 'touch' anything.”The 'touch' he was referring to was naturally the Thief's special Stealing Skill.
"It can't be ~~~ So torturous? Will the system still let me live?" The person who asked the question cried out, but the people beside him were not as pessimistic as him. Many people were grinding their teeth, and someone even cried out,"The BOSS will drop a Divine Weapon…" The moment I said this, the crowd immediately became restless. Everyone was filled with pride. Some of them even started to plan whether to sell or keep the Divine Weapon after obtaining it. Looking around, I was the only one who was the calmest. After all, I had also experienced the BOSS's "Sound Wave Attack". If it wasn't for the fact that I had so many potions that I could withstand it, I would have already "returned to my hometown". Therefore, I naturally wouldn't run over there to die. Then, he thought that if everyone went to fight the BOSS, there would not be many people in the mine.
After making up my mind to mine, I had to deal with the potions and equipment in my bracelet first."I'm selling them at a discount ~~~~ This was the first time I saw gold coins in the game."There are still many rich people ~"
However, during this transaction, I also realized that equipment was far more valuable than medicine, so I was even more certain that mining was the right thing to do!! Thus, I bought a lot of steamed buns and prepared enough 'ammunitions' to fight against the ores in the mine for a long time. On the way to the mine, I saw many players rushing back. Their faces were filled with excitement as if the BOSS had become their bracelet.
When I arrived at the mine, the mine that had been extremely lively during the day was now empty of players. However, the clanking sounds coming from the mine made me realize that I wasn't the only one who was awake. Walking into the mine, the dark and narrow space gave people an invisible pressure. Every ten meters in the mine, there was a small torch for illumination, but such light was really useless in the mine. It was just better than nothing.
Although the mine wasn't big, it could be said to be connected in all directions. After turning left and right, I felt that I had already arrived at the deepest part of the mine. The reason why I came here was because I always had an idea in my heart-'The good things will always be at the bottom'. However, there seemed to be many people who had the same thoughts as me. When I reached the end of the mine, I saw a few people digging. I didn't say anything to disturb them. I just silently took out my hoe and started mining. At first, I felt very strange. Why didn't I feel any dust when so many people were mining? Originally, the hoes in our hands couldn't dig up any sand at all. We only needed to use the hoes to knock on the ground for show. After hitting the ground a few times, we immediately heard the system's voice...
[System Notification: Ding!] Player Liu Wuqing has obtained 1 mine.
"Eh? That easy? "It's most likely due to this Silver Hoe…" I was secretly happy that I had obtained such a treasure…
Mining is a hard and boring job, but I also know that only those who can endure loneliness can achieve the greatest success. I didn't know how long I had maintained that 'lifting' and 'smashing' action, and I didn't know how many times the people around me had changed. The only entertainment I had was listening to the people discussing the news I had heard from the official forum. It was said that the top hit on the forum was a post called 'Four Sacred Beasts Appeared in the Novice Village'. It turned out that on the first day of the game, players from dozens of Novice Villages in the east, south, west, and north directions had discovered the appearance of the Vermilion Bird, the Black Tortoise, the Azure Dragon, and the White Tiger. At the same time, there were also a large number of monsters similar to them, and countless novice players were slaughtered...
Also, there were already over a thousand players who had entered the city at Level 10. However, after Level 10, the players realized that the EXP gained from leveling up was getting higher and higher. The number one expert among the players, the Radiant Knight, was only Level 12. Moreover, he only received a pitiful 6 attribute points after leveling up. Among them, 3 points were forcefully added by the system according to your attribute characteristics…I only listened to their discussion silently from the side and didn't dare to join them. After all, I didn't have a computer and couldn't access the forums. Therefore, he didn't dare to 'sell the Analects of Confucius in front of Confucius's door... pretending to be an expert'.
[System Notification: Ding!] [Player Liu Wuqing has been in the game for 16 hours. For the sake of your health, please log off within 10 minutes. Otherwise, the system will treat you as a forced log off…]
I had already learned from Nüwa about the consequences of forcefully logging off. First of all, I would be treated as dead and lose a level. However, as a newbie, I wouldn't lose a level, but what worried me was that its drop rate would be 10 times higher than usual. If I was unlucky, you would be completely exposed…I still had a lot of good stuff on me ~~~ I didn't want to give it to anyone else, so I had no choice but to log off and escape the game.
However, there was a clause that was very unfair to men when it came to forcefully logging off. It was that female players could forcefully log off without any punishment when they were sexually harassed. However, the system didn't tell me what to do when a male player was sexually harassed. Perhaps I wouldn't have such concerns in my current state, but I still couldn't help but complain about the injustice for the men."Why? Did men always take advantage of others when they were at a disadvantage? However…that didn't seem to be wrong.”The injustice in his heart was soon convinced by himself.
After a flash of light, I woke up. I moved my body and sat up. I took off my helmet and stretched my neck. After sleeping for nearly 16 hours, my neck was already stiff. I gently twisted it and made a popping sound. The advertisement was indeed true... It can allow you to get enough rest while playing!!
I'm in good spirits now. I touched my forehead and found that the fever had subsided. I, Qingxing, escaped a disaster. Now, I'm earning every day I live…No! After that, I'll live for four more days.
" What a treasure!" I was so excited that I couldn't help but kiss the helmet hard. At the same time, I smelled the burning smell of plastic from the helmet. However, I didn't have the time to care about it because my stomach started to make a dissatisfied sound after not eating for nearly 20 hours.
I got out of bed and washed my face. Knowing that I didn't have much time left, I decided to treat myself well and…eat outside. I took the money, closed the door and walked towards the night market. When I went out, I didn't notice that I accidentally grabbed the bed beam made of iron pipe and left a deep fingerprint on it.
It was autumn now, and even if it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, B City was already dark. The people who relied on the night market to survive were naturally prepared. The night market in B City has been around for many years. I heard that it had been popular for more than ten years before I came here. It can be said to be the dividing line between the upper and lower classes because it lies between the old and new districts, as if it separated the two districts. At the same time, it is also the intersection point between the upper and lower classes. There are countless hawkers hawking on the streets that are hundreds of meters long. Here, you can find the cheapest delicacies and the cheapest branded goods.(Fake goods), and of course, there were also the 'food stalls' that were full of B City's style…
" Master Huang, give me a bowl of fried vermicelli…" I sat down and called out to a middle-aged man who was setting up a stall.
"Oh my, what's the wind blowing today? I actually blew you here…Did I hear wrongly? You want to patronize me? "You know, this is the first time you've patronized me ~~~~" Master Huang shouted exaggeratedly with his thick Sichuan accent.
"..." His words made me blush. He was right. This was the first time I visited him. Although it was the first time, I could tell from our conversation that we weren't strangers because he was one of my regular customers. He had always sold his bottles to me. It was just that I, who was always thrifty, naturally didn't have the chance to visit him. Therefore, after he 'reminded' me, my face naturally blushed in embarrassment...
Master Huang's original name was Huang Tiezhu, and he was almost fifty years old now. However, you really couldn't tell from his muscles. Under the firelight and the sweat, his muscles looked shiny…According to him, he was a retired soldier. He had participated in the 'War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea' and had made military achievements. However, because he didn't know how to flatter his superiors, he didn't have much to do with it. Therefore, after the war ended, he was sent home. Fortunately, his army had made a good dish. Even if he went home, he wouldn't starve to death. In 1996, he couldn't stand his wife's pillow talk and a few brothers from the same village went south to dig up money. After a few years, he had his own food stall. According to him, the money he earned was enough for them to retire. After that, he was still 'struggling' mainly because he couldn't rest.
"What's wrong? Why was he so generous today? Did you really make a fortune?”Master Huang stopped what he was doing and pulled a stool over to sit beside me.
" Nothing like that. I'm just making a living…" Of course, I didn't tell him about my illness. I just said that I had some small business with a few friends and no longer collected junk.
"..." Master Huang was still in disbelief.
"Come on, you don't have to look like you don't believe me, okay? I've just let it go…Why do you treat yourself so badly in your short life?”I smiled. Perhaps the smile on my face was full of the charm of a joke, but who could see the bitterness in my heart?
"Bah, bah, bah ~ I spat before, but how can someone so young say such old-fashioned words? You don't have the vitality of a young man at all. Alright…I'll treat you to today's meal. Just remember to visit me more often in the future. Really, an old man like me isn't as pessimistic as you.”Master Huang patted my shoulder and said.
"How can this be? "You're also a small business…" I quickly said.
"Alright, although Uncle doesn't have much money, I can still afford to buy one or two plates of fried noodles…"
"What do you mean? You're not allowed to invite me! Do you have a lot of money?" At this moment, a short and fat woman interrupted our conversation. This woman is Master Huang's wife. Don't look down on her height. If it weren't for the fact that the price of the wine bottles I bought was relatively high, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to collect them. When you see Master Huang's wife, you will definitely remember a local saying...'Listen to your wife and you will get rich!'!! Even if she wasn't developed, at least she wouldn't be so poor that she wouldn't have to cook without rice. Coupled with Master Huang's henpecked personality, it wasn't difficult to imagine that she must have contributed to this food stall.
"See, see ~~~ You're so wishy-washy that you've called out the tigress, right?”Master Huang rolled his eyes at me.
"..." I gave him an understanding smile. Next, Master Huang threw me a super large plate of 'mixed stir-fried vermicelli.' A normal plate of 'mixed stir-fried vermicelli' only costs five pieces, but this plate of stir-fried vermicelli in front of me has prawns, conches, and crab legs... It's a whole 'seafood stir-fried vermicelli...' When I looked at Master Huang with a questioning gaze and wanted to ask him if he had made a mistake, I realized that he was winking at me.
Seeing his expression, I naturally understood what he meant. I quickly started to get rid of the 'evidence' before the lady boss noticed…After eating the stir-fried noodles that Master Huang had added with enough ingredients, I walked on the streets of the night market. Looking at the crowds passing by, I realized that I was very small among these people. I was like a grain of sand in the desert that was 'unremarkable' and felt as if I had been forgotten by the world. At the same time, the actions of the people around me seemed to have slowed down. However, I didn't pay any attention to it, because at this moment, I felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness…A sense of loneliness was occupying my mind and my heart!!
