“Hello! Who is it?”

“Brother Yu, it’s Su Peng.”

“Su Peng!” Lu Yu was very surprised to hear from Su Peng, but he also scolded him with a smile. “You left without saying goodbye. I should kick you for disappearing for so long! Why haven’t I heard from you in the past three years? Where have you been?”

“Something happened at my home back then. I was in a hurry to go back and didn’t have time to say goodbye to you.”

“What about Jing Yang? Why didn’t he say anything when he left? Did something happen at his home too?”

“Um… I think so.”

“Alright! If that’s the case, I let you guys off now. Since you’re calling me now, I assume that the matter should be resolved. When are you free to hang out? Let’s ask Jing Yang to have a gathering together! I still have your graduation certificates. When are you coming over to get them?”

“Forget about the graduation certificates. They’re useless in the future anyway. I don’t have time for a gathering now. We’ll have to wait for a while. I still have to ask Jing Yang if he’s free.”

“Let’s talk about these things later. I’m calling you because I have something very important to tell you.” Su Peng’s tone became serious.

Lu Yu knew Su Peng’s personality. If he became serious, it meant that the matter must be very important. He subconsciously sat up straight and began to pay attention to it.

“Go ahead, I’m listening.”

“Later, there’s a delivery for you. I’m the one who sent it to you.”

“Okay.”

“In the parcel is a gaming helmet. That’s right, it’s the holographic virtual gaming helmet that can 100% simulate reality in novels.”

Hearing this, Lu Yu had many questions in his heart, but he did not interrupt Su Peng.

“What you need to do is to use this game helmet to enter the game and do everything possible to become stronger in the game. Also, it’s very important that you don’t die in the game.”

“The game helmet uses the brain nerve connection technology. This technology is not very mature yet. If you die in the game, your brain might mistake that you’re really die, which will then lead to brain dead.”

“If you encounter an irresistible danger in the game, you can choose to force quit the game to avoid the danger. However, it’s best to use this method sparingly. Forcefully quitting the game without proper log out will still cause damage to your brain nerves.”

“It’s fine if you force quit the game a few times, but if you do it too much, you’ll have high chance of suffering cerebral palsy.”

“Mm, there shouldn’t be anything else. Brother Yu, remember to receive the express delivery. If you’re lucky, we’ll meet in the game soon.”

After saying that, Su Peng hung up before Lu Yu could ask any questions. When Lu Yu wanted to call back, he received a reply, “The user you have dialed is not in the service area. Please try again later.”

He could not contact Su Peng. It seemed that he could only ask him what was going on when he met him in the game.

Lu Yu suspected that Su Peng’s family’s company needed a lab rat to test this super advanced technology. It might be the reason why he was given the gaming helmet.

After Su Peng hung up the phone, not long after, Lu Yu received a call.

“Hello, is this Mr. Lu? There’s a delivery for you here. Please come and pick it up.”

After signing for the delivery at the delivery station in the neighborhood downstairs, Lu Yu rushed home as fast as he could. He quickly opened the box with anticipation.

Under the layers of packages, there was a silver-gray helmet that looked no different from an ordinary motorcycle helmet.

There was also a piece of paper in the package. On the front, it said “Divine Martial World’s login game helmet”. On the back, there were various symbols and numbers mixed together. After looking at it a few more times, Lu Yu memorized it.

Lu Yu was now a freelancer. After making sure that he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he took the helmet to the bedroom.

After plugging in the electricity, three green lights lit up on the helmet. He put on the helmet, lay on the bed, and entered the game.

He did not experience any magical login process. When he opened his eyes, he was already in the game.

Lu Yu carefully observed the environment in the room. The room was very simple.

The walls were cracked after years of disrepair. It looked like a thatched roof. There was only a simple wooden bed covered with straw, which occupied a large area of the room.

Lu Yu looked at his hands. His hands were a little thin due to malnutrition. He touched the rough straw on the bed and the rough clothes on his body. There was a rotten smell in the room, it seemed like this body had not showered for a long time.

“This game is really dope! The touch, the smell, the vision…”

He smacked his lips, and a bitter taste filled his mouth. “The taste is so clear and real. If this game goes on the market, it will definitely monopolize the gaming world. I wonder how much is this helmet is.”

If it wasn’t the few buttons of the game system in his line of sight, Lu Yu would have thought that he had transmigrated.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, “Wake up, everyone. Wake up!”

Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of a door being kicked was heard. It was getting closer.

Bang! The door of Lu Yu’s room was kicked open. Sunlight shone into the room. Lu Yu subconsciously his eyes and saw that it was the door kicked open by a young man in green who was holding a gong.

“Hurry up and gather at the martial arts practice field. If you’re late, you can’t eat today!”
