After Shifeng closed his eyes, the sound of a system notification rang in his ears. ¥f,
"Password confirmed. Mental connection is stable. System normal. Do you wish to log in?"
"Log in."
After Shifeng connected to the system by default, his vision darkened as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit.
However, in the next moment, Shifeng felt his body sink. The sound of rushing carriages reached his ears. In addition, he heard many voices.
"This is … God's Domain?" Shifeng was shocked when he opened his eyes.
Western European architecture filled the streets. Various houses stood around the bar, and the streets were bustling with traffic. He also saw many armored pedestrians carrying weapons on their backs. It was as if he had entered God's Domain.
The only difference was his current appearance. He wore civilian clothes made of linen, and he did not carry a single weapon. Moreover, his appearance was exactly the same as in the real world. He had not undergone any modifications.
In addition, the status of the system interface was different as well. Although the method of calling out the system interface was the same, the system interface only displayed logout, pain adjustment, and time in the real world. Aside from that, there was nothing else. There was also no HP bar or name for a player in God's Domain.
Moreover, his physique was very weak. In God's Domain, his Basic Attributes were around 100 points.
Aside from these, Shifeng did not feel anything different about this place compared to God's Domain.
"Look, more newcomers have arrived."
"There really are a lot of newcomers these past few days."
"I heard that the Secret Pavilion has a big plan. Recently, they've been frantically recruiting other Guilds. These newcomers should be the training slots that the upper echelons promised the other Guilds."
"Hah, what a waste. Our internal members have been fighting tooth and nail every day just to obtain a training slot. Aside from eating and sleeping, we've been doing all sorts of training for the sake of obtaining a training slot. These people are really lucky. They easily obtained a slot without putting in any effort."
"That's right. It's not that easy to survive in the simulation training system. These people are useless here. They're just wasting resources."
Several people sitting in the bar's pavilion laughed as they discussed Shifeng. These people were not very old, around the age of 20. However, the clothes they wore were more luxurious. They were not made of linen, but of exquisite silk.
For the past few days, they had been chatting quite loudly. It was as if they were deliberately talking to the Shifeng. Their words were filled with disdain towards the Shifeng, who were from other guilds.
"I wonder where Fire Dance and the others are. Let's meet up with them first before researching this simulation training system." The Shifeng did not care about these people's disdain. They only found out that there was no communication function in the system, which gave them a headache.
Although this place looked similar to a city in God's Domain, it was much smaller. It was roughly the size of a town. A massive castle stood in the center of the city. Even from the city's periphery, one could see it clearly.
Just as Shifeng was about to turn around and look at the castle in the center, a deep voice came from behind.
"Are you a newbie who just arrived today?"
Turning his head, Shi Feng discovered three people in linen clothing walking towards him. There were two men and one woman, all around the age of 20. The person who called out to Shi Feng was a tall man with a robust and valiant appearance. The man had a constant smile on his face, and he gave off a very amiable feeling.
"That's right. May I know what business you have with me?" Shifeng nodded.
"Hello, my name is Kong Haoran. These two are my friends, Huo Zhengyang and Du Xin." The man named Kong Haoran smiled as he introduced himself. "Just like you, we are from other Guilds. Unlike those people from the Secret Pavilion, we've been here for over a month. You are a complete newbie. If you're not careful, you might suffer a great loss here."
"Suffer a great loss?" Shifeng asked curiously. "Isn't this a place to gain combat experience and improve combat techniques?"
"That's what we thought at first," Kong Haoran said, shaking his head. Kong Haoran shook his head. "However, after spending some time with this place, you'll realize that it's not as simple as those people from the Secret Pavilion make it out to be.
"This system is a simulation of God's Domain. The more powerful an expert is, the more energy it will consume. You should know that the Secret Pavilion has a limited supply of energy. It's fine if you don't fight the top-tier experts in the database, but as long as you do, your energy consumption will increase significantly. There's only so much energy, and it's not enough for everyone. Furthermore, the Secret Pavilion has expanded significantly, increasing the number of slots available, which has resulted in a shortage of energy. Hence, the Secret Pavilion has created a system of Battle Points. Players can choose their opponents by spending these points.
"Many newbies don't understand this system, and as a result, the Secret Pavilion's veterans have cheated them. They won't even be able to earn Battle Points in the beginning. Later on, it will become even more difficult to earn Battle Points."
Hearing Kong Haoran's explanation, Shifeng immediately understood the situation.
It's no wonder why Yuan Tiexin offered ten slots so readily. It turns out that they had such a trick up their sleeve. Shifeng inwardly cursed the Secret Pavilion's Guild Leader for being a treacherous old fox.
However, after giving the matter some thought, Shi Feng's reasoning made sense.
If they could fight the monster-like experts in the database without any restrictions, they could use this opportunity to gain plenty of combat experience and improve themselves. In addition, they would also receive guidance from the Refinement Realm to the Domain Realm. How could they possibly accept such a good deal?
"Thank you for the reminder," Shifeng said as he looked at Kong Haoran. Introducing himself, he said, "My name is Shifeng."
"No need to thank me. We're all from other Guilds, so it's only natural that we look after each other. Otherwise, we'll be bullied to death by the Secret Pavilion," Kong Haoran said, shaking his head. Kong Haoran said, waving his hand. "The Secret Pavilion's members arrived more than a month before us. Moreover, they have been receiving internal training from the Secret Pavilion. Their combat standards are much higher than ours."
"Newbies are normally given 100 Battle Points, which they can purchase from the castle's Beginner Combat Bags. They can also spar with ten extraordinarily powerful experts to familiarize themselves with the combat here. They can also spar with these experts for three days. Otherwise, they can only spar with the free opponents in the castle. They won't learn anything at all.
"There are two ways to earn Battle Points here. The first is through the daily ranking matches, and the second is by betting on Battle Points. Many newbies don't understand this, so they get tricked into fighting by the veterans. In the end, they lose 100 Battle Points."
While Kong Haoran explained the simulation training system, Kong Haoran led Shifeng to the battle castle.
However, as soon as Shifeng and the others entered the castle, they heard a commotion coming from the castle's main hall.
"Quick, come and take a look! Another newbie is challenging the veterans today!"
"Isn't this a little too fast? Why haven't I encountered such a newbie before?!"
