”Huh, I need 500 Qi now? That's …” Alex quickly did some calculations in his head, ”25 minutes. That's a lot.”

”Do I have to use that technique for 25 minutes just to level up once? Isn't that a really bad system? What about later on? Will the time increase again?” he wondered.

”Hmm… I should find some pills to give me more Qi. However, at this rate, I will need 50 of those previous pills just to level up once. That should be harder than just using the ability for 25 minutes.

”Whatever, I will just look around for now. This looks so darn realistic. Maybe I should get rid of the health bar, for now, to let me see more.”

Alex walked around the jungle looking at the greenery. He quickly found a small path and took it. Coincidentally, within 5 minutes, he was out of the jungle, looking at a big perimeter of wall, blocking off an entire city in front of him.

He looked to the side of the wall to see a gate with people and carriages lined up near it. There were guards waiting near the gates taking something from the newcomers before letting them in.

'Do I need money?' he wondered. Just then, someone else walked out from the forest. It was a man wearing a yellow robe with green in the linings.

He saw Alex looking around blankly and especially, noticed his plain robes. So he asked, ”hello brother, are you new around here?”

”Yes, I just arrived here today, and don't know what to do to get inside,” Alex replied.

The man heard that and softly asked, ”Are you a player?”

”Yes,” Alex said excitedly. 'So he was a player all along huh.'

”Well, just cultivate for an hour or 2. After that, once you breakthrough, you can go hunt some weak monsters in the jungle, and sell their bodies to one of the merchants that always run through here.”

”That should get you about 5 or so silver coins, enough to enter the city.” The man said.

”Cultivate? What's that?” Alex questioned.

The man looked at him weirdly. ”You learned your cultivation method right?” Alex nodded.

”Then, just sit around and meditate. Your cultivation method will kick in on its own,” said the man. After that, he bid farewell and left the place.

”Hmm… since I already broke through, I should just go and kill some animal.” He walked back to the forest he had just come from. However, it didn't take long for him to find an animal.

The creature he met had a name floating on top of it.

”Woah, it's a level higher than me. Can I even fight it?” the fox was definitely stronger than him. Alex was worried and wondered if he should change his targets.

”I'm only level 1, so there should be a protection mechanic in the game that doesn't let me die, right?” Alex decided to fight the fox.
