Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 7: 007 Player

"The servers are up, the servers are up!"

Kuang Xin hugged his newly acquired helt, seemingly unable to let it go.

The long-awaited "Galaxy Online" finally launched on schedule, much to the delight of this hardcore gaming enthusiast.

A future sci-fi world that's not only ga-exclusive but also entirely realistic—let's see just how real you are?

He lay down in the gaming pod, donned the helt, and entered the ga—

"Should I create my character first?"

"Hmm... pretty standard."

"Let create a wife first!"

[Detected gender as male, usage of female characters prohibited.]

"?"

Discriminate, eh? Why can't n use female characters? Shivering with indignation.

Kuang Xin blinked his eyes. In fact, he didn't see the familiar character customization panel, but so rather strange options—

[Physical Build Preference: ?]

[Facial Appearance Preference: ?]

[Ability Preference: ?]

[Race Preference: ?]

Physique from frail to robust was a slidable scale.

After a mont's hesitation, Kuang Xin opted for a balanced choice, as the people of Yan Kingdom always preferred a middle ground.

The appearance from handso to ugly was also a two-dinsional choice.

Without a doubt, max out on handsoness.

Ability preference... seed to be a four-dinsional choice.

Physical strength, insight, reflexes, mystique.

It was like a quadrilateral that could be freely stretched outwards from any corner, but there was a limit.

And once any point was stretched to the limit, the other three could no longer change.

After randomly fiddling for a bit, Kuang Xin, familiar with online gaming routines, understood its aning—these must be the character's personal attributes in the ga.

Now he was setting up the base attributes.

All four attributes had a minimum threshold, and there were so undistributed points that you could freely add to any attribute, but the total number of undistributed points was limited.

Considering the scant information released on the official website, early ga priority was clearly physical strength > insight = reflexes > mystique.

So... just slightly increase insight and reflexes, and put the rest into physical strength!

Then, racial preference?

Beast-ear girls, elf girls?

Heh heh heh...

There were also Bug Race, demons?

What kind of bizarre options are these?

Compared to those, humans and mutants seed to be the most normal choices available.

If that's the case... I want a beast-ear girl!

[Race Preference: Beastkin.]

I just love that wild energy!

Character creation complete!

[Random character generation in progress...]

Enter the ga!

Darkness enveloped Kuang Xin's vision, as the helt's probes released gentle electrical currents.

As a deeper darkness encroached upon Kuang Xin's consciousness, a sowhat heavy physical sensation awakened within his mind.

He felt the wind... peculiar slls... vibrations of the earth... surges of thunder.

Two narrow slits emitting a dim grey light suddenly appeared before his eyes and fluttered twice.

Kuang Xin struggled to open his slightly heavy eyelids.

This was a human settlent.

Beneath his feet lay black soil, and wooden fences not far away enclosed simple huts.

The figures, like shadows, stooped and walked slowly against the grey backdrop.

So people cast curious glances at Kuang Xin, who was slowly rising from the ground.

Kuang Xin also examined his own body.

Simple black ragged clothing covered his body, his feet were clad in shoes made of wood planks, and his hands and feet were full of black mud.

He touched his ears... no beast ears.

Was he still human?

Then he grabbed a handful of his crotch... such a soft touch.

The sour and cool feeling on his skin continuously pricked at his nerves.

"So realistic?"

Kuang Xin couldn't help but exclaim in amazent.

[As you curiously observe your surroundings, you realize this is a whole new unknown world...]

The sudden voice from the system startled Kuang Xin, who had been imrsed in the reality of the ga, and then he deeply realized that this was the gaming world.

"Where's the panel?"

With his intentional call out, a light blue semi-transparent screen unfolded before him like spilt rcury—

[Na]: Unknown

[Race]: Human

[Template]: Player

[Health Points]: 60/60 (Base 50 (Physical Strength – 10) * 10)

[Physical Strength]: 11 (Current) / 15 (Trainable Limit)

[Insight]: 9 / 15

[Reflexes]: 9 / 15

[Mystique]: 6 / ∞

[Expertise]: Brawny Physique (Unlocked)

[Mastery]: None

[Spiritual Energy]: Unmastered

[Technology]: None

[Mutation Risk]: Extrely Low

[Assets]: 100 Blackwater Coins (Starter Funds)

...

Having a trait is pretty good.

According to the official website, traits are innate attributes, and each player's birth character cos with randomness—anything could happen... or nothing at all, which is highly probable.

I deserve it, maxing out on looks has its perks.

Charisma 10, won't I beco a hot commodity in the eyes of those NPCs?

It seems because of my charisma, soone quickly approached .

"Wanderer? Where do you hail from?"

"Wanderer? Is that the background identity of this body?"

Kuang Xin contemplated quietly.

[You have tentatively accepted the identity of this world, and a brand-new world is opening up to you...]

Kuang Xin nodded at the prompt, affirming his thoughts, completely unaware that the gaunt-faced man in front of him, missing a front tooth, was looking at his face with a sowhat srized smile.

"Over there…"

Kuang Xin casually pointed in a direction as an answer to the question, and then he eagerly asked, "Do you have any work for to help with around here?"

Usually, the first person you et should be the guide for newbie quests, right?

Newbie quests! Newbie quests!

"Work to help with?"

The man shook his head sadly, "Apart from food, we common folks don't need much. Winter's almost here, and the few wild vegetables we planted are nowhere near enough for my family of three. Sigh... I don't know how many more will starve to death after this winter."

[Side Quest Triggered — Food for the Winter.]

[Food for the Winter: Mr. Hans and his family are troubled by the coming winter. Collect enough food for them! Quest Requirent: Submit "Fresh" at Chunks *0/50. Quest Reward: 100 General Experience Points, Item Reward Unknown.]

A quest!

What's there to hesitate about!

As for what Mr. Hans said? Emmm… what did he say again?

"I accept!"

Kuang Xin was extrely excited, everything felt familiar, "Where to? How many do I need to kill?"

Seeing the exceptionally handso wanderer accept his request so eagerly, Hans felt puzzled and with a cautious heart pointed to a place that was relatively less dangerous.

"Over there lies the Black Forest, it's ho to so beasts with mild mutations, you may be able to rely on your skills to hunt a few..."

Skills?

I refuse!

The wisdom of humanity is to use tools; aren't we supposed to save the starter funds for sothing else?

Moreover, the official website also had so newbie tips, suggesting that in the early stages before you can withstand a nuclear bomb with your bare body, firearms are definitely more useful than fists.

Kuang Xin wore a passionate smile that was out of place in this dreary environnt.

"Mr. Hans, do you or anyone nearby have any rchants? I want to purchase so stuff to arm myself."

Hans squinted his eyes, a greedy look fleeting across his face.

"I have so right here…"

...

...

Newbie equipnt... as expected, it's trash.

100 bucks for this junk, seems like the in-ga prices might be pretty high?

But the transaction was simple, money for goods, no trade panel, the real-world thod is comndable.

But none of that matters, my legendary gaming life starts here!

"Are you prepared to set out now?"

Watching the spirited Kuang Xin, Hans felt a twinge of a long-dormant conscience.

"I don't even know your na yet?"

Maybe I can build a tomb for him if he dies?

Kuang Xin was slightly startled.

[A new life, a new na, you have one chance, what do you tell them your na is...]

The system's prompt gave Kuang Xin a full sense of imrsion. No wonder they didn't let pick a na when entering the ga, it was waiting for this mont?

"My na is Kuang Xin."

Kuang Xin smiled brightly, "You can call Kuang Xin. This na is destined to spread to every corner of this world!"

[Hello, respected wanderer 'Kuang Xin', you have officially joined the world of Galaxy Online. Now, please explore freely as you wish!]

Hans nodded.

"Alright, Kuang Xin."

(Alright, fool.)
