Volume 1 Chapter 2 (1/2)
CHAPTER 2: NEWBIE VILLAGE
After wearing the helmet, I immediately skipped over the cutscenes, on the screen only the words 《Second World》 appeared in the background, as a big countdown appeared in the middle.
As time pa.s.sed by, I kept staring at the countdown, I know that just like me, there are atleast tens of millions in the world who are watching the countdown, I remembered that in the previous game that I played there were some rewards for early entry, at every turn there was an artifact or something, who knows if I get lucky enough to b.u.mp into any of them, cannot even say that such a thing exists or not.
“Ten!”
“Nine!”
“Eight!”
“……”
“Three!”
“Two!”
“One!”
The screen flashed, and went straight to the game interface, as the system prompted: “Please build your character!”
“Please enter your in-game nickname!” The system continued to prompt.
I said: “Total Loser” [TLNote: Most names are translated to near english equivalent]
“I’m sorry, this name has been occupied!”
“Heartless Tears”
“I’m sorry, this name has been occupied!”
“Really not my fault”
“I’m sorry, this name has been occupied!”
“It’s hard to take a name”
“I’m sorry, this name has been occupied!”
Choosing a name is really difficult, so carelessly said: “Wei Wei Long” [TLNote: Mighty Mighty Long, where Long is his name as well as means Dragon]
“Nickname selected, now scanning facial contours, you can enhance or degrade your features to a degree of 30%, do you need to change?”
“Finally got one” I gasped.
I looked infront to see a young man looking exactly like me, this would certainly make my acquaintances able to recognize me, might as well modify my appearance a bit, said in a virtuous way with a kingly voice: “degrade appearance by 5%”
“Congratulations, your account has been set up, do you want to enter the game?”
I choose to enter, and immediately the scenery changes and I appear in a run-down village.
“Ding~!” The System prompts:
“You are the 123456th player to enter the game!”
This figure is easy to remember, then the system prompted, with a : “Ding~!” Dear Player, h.e.l.lo, according to the rules of the game, all players who have entered the game before 00:00 today, have a chance to enter a lottery, would you like to start?”
“Start” Only a fool wouldn’t start.
Then a wheel appears, and about a minute later, it stops on a character referring to a skill, as the system prompts: “Ding~! Dear Player, congratulations, you have gained the talent of concentrated practise.”
“Shrimp?”
Opened the skills menu to see that this thing is a 『Attribute』 bonus skill — Concentrated Practise: Every time the level is increased by ten, 『Attribute』 will increase by a point. [TLNote: Couldn’t think of a better way to describe 『性』]
This skill is interesting, well kind of better than nothing, as I quickly start the game.
After a few seconds, opened the map, “Welcome to the game, your starting location is the 110th beginner village.” This serial number is interesting, as I take a look at the village name, this village is called the village of idiots, s.h.i.+t! What is this c.r.a.ppy name, ah, thinks I am an idiot, eh, I need to start over, at that time, players started coming out from the center of the village, it seems that this time there is a large influx of players.
Looked at my own 『Attribute』 page:
ID:WeiWeiLong
Occupation: Novice
Level: 1
Health: 100
Mana: 50
