This new game was completely different from the simulation games that Baiyi had played in the Void before. Not only did the number of players increase to more than a thousand, but the visual and sensory experience of the game had also been greatly improved. It was as if the game had been upgraded from Tetris to a triple-A masterpiece.
The rules of the game were simple. Every player's body would be restored to the standard of a normal human, but their knowledge and experience would be retained. They would have to do their best to survive in this new and strange world, and they would earn points based on their performance. If they died, they would have to start over after deducting a certain amount of points. Other than that, there were no other rules. Players were free to do whatever they wanted, and the final ranking would be determined based on their accumulated points.
The rules of the game were transmitted into every player's mind the moment Baiyi dragged them into the game. To speed up the pace of the game and reduce the difficulty of the early stages, Baiyi generously gave every player a starter pack. The starter pack allowed the player to choose one ability, skill, or equipment of their choice, including the Void Energy, the War God's Sword, and the Book of Servitude.
Most players would have hesitated when faced with such a generous starter pack. Only the Engineer Walker made up his mind in a split second. "I want to pilot a giant robot!"
A white light flashed from his body, and in an instant, he became the most outstanding pilot of a giant robot. Whether it was piloting the floating cannons, writing the drivers, or activating the A.T. Field, all the relevant knowledge flowed into his mind, making him the most powerful pilot in history!
Then, he realized that he did not have a giant robot.
The Archmage was a decisive person, so he asked Baiyi for the Book of Servitude without any hesitation. Baiyi cooperated and granted the Archmage's request. However, as soon as the Archmage's hand touched the book, a notification popped up in his mind. "Only the Emperor of the Rohlserlian Empire can use it …"
The Archmage's current identity was that of a commoner.
"You unfilial apprentice! I'm not even dead yet, and you're already trying to usurp the throne?! "The Archmage's face turned round in anger.
Compared to the two players who had made their choices quickly and were cheated, Mia, who was entering the game for the first time, was at a loss. She was now standing in the middle of a vast grassland. When she entered the game, her attire had been automatically changed into the most classic school uniform, a ponytail miniskirt and white stockings. Staring at the densely packed exchange list in front of her, she had no idea what to do.
Although he had heard the Voidwalkers talk about games before, this was the first time he had actually participated in one. Moreover, it was so sudden that he had no time to prepare.
"Ugh … I'm getting dizzy …" Mia mumbled. "Why don't you just give me one of them?"
After saying that, her body lit up with a burst of white light, and then she randomly obtained an ability: Acting cute.
"Eh?! What's the use of this ability? " Mia asked awkwardly. She puffed up her cheeks unhappily. "I don't feel like I've gained any abilities. What should we do now? "
Just as she was in a dilemma, she saw a graceful figure rapidly approaching from afar. She took a closer look and saw that it was actually a martial artist?
"Sister Lan You!" Mia immediately greeted her happily, but she was unceremoniously flicked on the head by the martial artist.
"You're so rude! Call me Mother Lan! "
The little fellow was flicked like this, and her body suddenly shrank into a ball, looking like a wronged kitten. The martial artist could not help but hug her to her side, rubbed her forehead for her, and then said.
"It just so happens that my spawn point is nearby, and the ability I chose is Search — it can search for players within a certain range." After saying that, the martial artist gently pinched her soft face. "Okay, let's go. We have to find something to eat first."
Compared to those unreliable choices and Mia's irresponsible randomness, the martial artist's choice could be said to be very wise. It was very difficult for an ordinary person to survive alone in such an environment. Quickly finding teammates and pulling up a team was the way to go.
Not knowing whether the martial artist was lucky or not, the two of them accidentally picked up Kitty Cat Maid Attie while looking for food. She was wearing a classic maid costume with her favorite cat ear hair clip on her head. She was holding a black and hard stick in her arms, frowning and at a loss of what to do. After asking for a while, they found out that her newbie gift was the War God's Sword, so of course, she could not use it …
"These choices are all traps. It's impossible for us to obtain great power so easily." The martial artist took the black and hard hilt from Attie's arms, weighed it, and shook her head regretfully. "It's useless, throw it away."
"No, no! Even if I can't use it, I'll keep it with me! "Attie quickly jumped up and snatched the black and hard item from the warrior's arms.
The three of them continued to wander around the desolate grassland. After wandering for half a day, they finally found a small forest and successfully picked up a Noirciel.
Poor Angel, who was still in a daze, was forcefully dragged into the game by Baiyi. At that moment, she was squatting under a small tree, her hands on her forehead. Her eyes were still covered with a white cloth, and the pitiful look she exuded could be felt even from afar.
She hugged her head and squatted in the air for a while. Then, she suddenly stood up as if she had mustered up her courage and took a few steps forward. Naturally, she hit her head on the tree and fell to the ground. It was so painful that tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. She whimpered, "Sob … It hurts …"
When the three people who rushed over saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel a little strange. Why was this guy hiding here and acting cute?
In the end, Mia was the most loyal. She quickly ran over to Noirciel. Suddenly, Noirciel's nose twitched, as if she had smelled something. Suddenly, her tears turned into laughter, and she yelled in Mia's direction, "Mia? You're here to save me?! "
The two girls, who had not seen each other for a long time, hugged each other and rubbed each other's cheeks for a while. Noirciel seemed to have absorbed enough of Mia's essence, and she took a step back. She reached out and caressed Mia's face. "Although you can't see, you're still the Mia I remember."
Mia's heart skipped a beat. 'Why is Mr. Hope so cruel? Why would he take away Noirciel's vision for a game?'
The Warrior, on the other hand, seemed to have noticed something. She walked over and removed the white cloth covering Noirciel's eyes. The angel gasped in surprise. "I … I can see again? It's not as clear as before, but I can still see … "
After a series of questions, the group learned that Baiyi, as the new God of Time, had reappointed Noirciel as his angel. Noirciel was beyond excited, but Baiyi had added another condition. She had to learn to live like a human girl before she could be reinstated as an angel. Hence, Baiyi had added her into the game.
The Warrior listened quietly and shook her head. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, as if she was worried about the future of her party.
Practice proved that her worries were normal. While they were searching for food in the woods, Mia kept tripping on the ground. Maybe it was because she was limited to 12 years old, or maybe it was because she did not know how to play this kind of game. Sometimes, she tripped on a tree branch, and sometimes, she just could not stand steadily.
After falling a few times in a row, the poor little fellow had completely turned into a little mud monkey. Even her white stockings had been torn open a few times, revealing the delicate skin underneath.
Strangely, she kept falling, but she did not seem to be hurt. She just looked a little worse for wear.
Noirciel, on the other hand, seemed to have learned something from the human girl, Mia. She began to fall on the ground, competing with Mia for cuteness. Unfortunately, her luck was not good enough, and she ended up with bruises all over her body.
The Warrior had no choice but to let Attie, who seemed more reliable, take care of the two little ones while she went to look for food and water.
Compared to the embarrassment of the martial artists, there were naturally some people who were like fish in water. For example, the Caveman did not ask for any abilities in his novice gift. Instead, he asked for a lamb. Then, he used the vines and branches he could find on hand to weave a simple trap. With the lamb as bait, he successfully caught a greedy wild wolf.
Although the Caveman paid the price of being bitten and scratched to subdue the wolf, he managed to treat it with grass bark and tree sap. The wolf's meat was placed on the bonfire, and the wolf's skin was draped over the body. The wolf's blood was fed to the lamb that served as bait.
While the others could only eat wild fruits and sleep on tree branches for the first night, the Caveman was satisfied. He threw the lamb aside to stand guard while he slept soundly.
On the other hand, Mia and the other girls could only hug each other for warmth.
The Caveman was doing well as a lone wolf. Of course, there were also some who found reliable teammates, such as the Blacksmith. He was lucky enough to find his Second Battalion Commandant. The Second Battalion Commandant was also a student with a high level of understanding, and the ability he chose for himself was fishing. The two of them sat comfortably beside a stream and ate grilled fish.
The Second Battalion Commandant threw away a row of fish bones and asked curiously, "Sir, what is your ability?"
"Didn't I tell you? Don't call me Sir! " The Blacksmith said unhappily as he raised his right hand. He was wearing a modern watch from Earth with an orange-yellow halo on the outside.
"Call me the Homeland Strategic Agent!" The Blacksmith, who was in full role-playing mode, said solemnly, "Not only do we need to survive, but we also need to find a way to save our city. Do you understand? Special Agent! "
