Chapter 3

PS: Thanks to the three readers, Wahaha……, Huali^O^Xiao Nan, and ≮Zeng Zhen Tian Zuo≯, for their consecutive rewards. It's too extravagant to receive rewards; a few recommendation votes would be very satisfying. Mwah!

In a small city like Chao Yang, the appearance of a beast tide is synonymous with death for the poor. It's impossible for less than a thousand or eight hundred people to die in one go.

In Chao Yang City, an ordinary adult used brand new technological firearms to resist the beast tide.

If this was all, it wouldn't have been enough to make Yuan Xiao feel overwhelmed. However, when a professional cast a spell to destroy several miles of land, a Transformer threw countless missiles, a dragon beast spewed dragon breath to drown thousands of ferocious beasts, and a nuclear bomb that eliminated nuclear pollution destroyed a thousand miles in all directions, Yuan Xiao faced the ironclad reality and fell silent in helplessness...

He was no longer the "King of the Dark World" who once dominated the Earth; he was just a weakling on the Golden Continent, as tender as an infant.

A weakling must learn to adapt to the survival rules of the weak...

The Golden Continent had already become a super-civilized world with a very strict hierarchical system.

The Black Iron Civilization, Bronze Civilization, Silver Civilization, and Gold Civilization, each divided into nine levels from low to high.

Chao Yang City was a subordinate city of the fifth-level Black Iron Magic Civilization, and in the entire Golden Continent, it could only be considered a village-level city.

And even in such a magic civilization, professionals already possessed terrifying power that could easily crush all of Earth's technology.

From the day the beast tide ended, becoming a true professional and possessing the power of a professional became Yuan Xiao's only goal.

To achieve this, he was willing to approach a greedy but cautious lowest-level professional. Only such a professional could be attracted by the conditions he offered and could open a path to becoming a true professional in this dangerous world.

Taking one last look at the city frozen in time and space, Yuan Xiao turned and returned to the interior of the building.

He snapped his fingers casually, and the lights inside the entire building flickered on.

A smile appeared at the corner of Yuan Xiao's mouth; this was the only thing in this world that could satisfy him.

These were not voice-activated lights; rather, all the space, matter, gravity, and light in this world were under his absolute control. Except for the inability to create matter out of nothing and influence time, he was the supreme god in this world.

"Only the god of this dead world..."

Yuan Xiao murmured softly, "No... I want to become the god of the entire Golden Continent..."

A thought flashed through his mind, and the entire building appeared in his mind in three-dimensional form.

Starting from the lowest level of the building, all the famous fantasy books, game discs, and film and comic discs in the world were neatly arranged on row after row of bookshelves, filling the entire thirty-story building.

Yuan Xiao pinched the triangular fragment, and based on the half-Chinese character on it, he began to search.

"This character... seems to be the character for 'death'!" Yuan Xiao muttered.

Discs that started with "death" included "Final Destination," "Deathly Hallows," "Death Note," and many others.

In a short while, hundreds of discs starting with "death" were floating in front of him.

"This is... 'Death Note.'" Yuan Xiao sighed in relief after comparing two discs.

He vaguely remembered the plot of this world; it was not particularly dangerous, at least not a world where one death could wipe out a city. Otherwise, he would rather run away than take Tok with him to certain death.

Taking the disc and inserting it into the computer, Yuan Xiao began to fast-forward through the anime to understand the general plot.

The entire anime had 37 episodes, each averaging 20 minutes, and Yuan Xiao finished watching all of them in just five minutes. Professionals have powerful souls, and the ability to remember everything they see is just a basic talent.

Five minutes later, Yuan Xiao immediately returned to the spacious rooftop and passed through the portal back to the Ollivanders Magic Wand Branch.

This place, called a magic wand branch, actually only had one lowest-level magic wand in Tok's possession, selling some of the simplest magic potions to occasional passing professionals. It also served to test the potential of fifteen-year-old boys in Chao Yang City to become professionals.

Half an hour by the warm fireplace passed quickly, and Yuan Xiao gradually sorted out the details of the "Death Note" world.

As the first opened fantasy world, he and Tok were complete novices, and they could only understand the terrifying dangers of interdimensional travel through some rumors and snippets from popular books.

Fortunately, Tok at least knew that a professional's first interdimensional world was always a free world.

A free world is one where you can act freely, as long as you don't violate the basic rules of interdimensional travel. This is an important world for a novice to accumulate their first wealth.

If it were the second interdimensional travel, many interdimensional travelers would open the same interdimensional world, and there would even be world tasks issued by the legendary Golden Will that must be executed. At that time, there would be many competitors, and the task difficulty would be extremely high.

Of course, only after experiencing a free world could one become a true professional.

Although Tok was a professional, he became one in middle age by a fluke, with no value in cultivation. He could only live out his days in a place like Chao Yang City, probably for some special reason. Otherwise, the two would not have cooperated.

Bang!

A cold wind and rain rushed into the store as the door was pushed open with a loud creak. It was raining heavily outside again, and Tok muttered a few curses, using a magic trick to shake off the raindrops from his cloak and quickly locked the door.

"How's it going?"

Tok sat by the fireplace, picked up a large mug of ale, and drank it in one go, dispelling his anxiety.

"Anytime, we can rest during the day and act at night, how about that?"

Yuan Xiao said, closing his eyes to rest.

Tok tilted his head, thought for a moment, and fell asleep. Acting at night was indeed better than during the day.

If someone came to find him during the day, it would be troublesome. At night, one night was enough to explore an interdimensional world.

Although he hadn't experienced it himself, Tok had heard that the time ratio between the fantasy world and the Golden Continent was very large, at least 100:1. One night was enough for them to have a bountiful harvest in the interdimensional world.

At 7 PM, Tok locked the store door early and woke up Yuan Xiao.

"Got it... got it, let's start the interdimensional journey."

Yuan Xiao yawned and led the way to the underground secret room, carrying a hint of solemnity as he threw the mysterious antique into the professional panel.

The originally eternal and indestructible mysterious antique, upon approaching the professional panel, immediately transformed into a golden liquid and burned fiercely. The golden flames illuminated the entire secret room, and a flash of surprise crossed Yuan Xiao's eyes before disappearing.

The indestructibility of the mysterious antique was a well-known ironclad rule on the Golden Continent.

If anyone knew that his professional panel had broken this rule, Yuan Xiao understood that even the legendary Gold Civilization would immediately capture him. Therefore, this situation must not be seen by anyone else.

Professional Tok rubbed his hooked nose, his face full of excitement. At this moment, he still didn't understand what this meant...

The golden flames quickly dissipated, and a golden door frame appeared in the fire.

Yuan Xiao was surprised to find that it looked exactly like the mysterious mirror in his professional panel that connected to the Earth world.

As the golden door frame stabilized, blood-red text, like burning flames, appeared on the professional panel.

Discovery of a Black Iron-level fantasy interdimensional world...

Mystery level: Black Iron-level LV3...

Interdimensional world name: Death Note.

Common interdimensional travelers: 2 people.

Interdimensional cycle progress: First cycle, a free world where the seal of the void has been lifted...

"This is a brand new interdimensional world..."

Tok's eyes sparkled with excitement, almost dancing with joy.

Yuan Xiao was equally delighted. In the same fantasy interdimensional world, there was only one in the entire world. If it was a world already discovered by many interdimensional travelers, their first world, called a free world, would only be a projection of the real world, and the rewards would be one level lower than in the real world.

"Let's go in quickly, who knows how long it will last."

Yuan Xiao urged, quickly walking through the golden door. Tok nodded vigorously and followed closely behind.

Multicolored light flickered continuously, and Yuan Xiao and Tok ran quickly through the golden passage behind the door. The passage behind them seemed to be devoured by a monster, and if they ran a bit slower, they would be caught by the collapsing passage.

The fear of life and death made the two of them run with all their might, not daring to look back.

As they ran to the end of the passage, a dazzling light enveloped them, and the entire passage collapsed into golden flames. In the flames, the heads of fierce beasts, unwilling to be burned to ashes, were consumed.

"My head hurts..."

Yuan Xiao struggled to stand up, his strong body, trained in martial arts, quickly adjusting his breathing to relieve the headache.

In the years since coming to the Golden Age, the only thing he was grateful for was that martial arts were widespread in this world. This was a power system that everyone, from ordinary people to professionals, had to practice from a young age.

Legend has it that if one reaches the peak of martial arts, anyone can become a professional, and every professional is necessarily a martial arts expert. Some legendary powerful professionals can even achieve rebirth from a drop of blood, with the terrifying power to shatter continents and stars with a single drop of blood.
