Chapter 3: The Beginning of This World
7 min read1,673 words
As is well known, the phenomenon of crossing over occurs nine times out of ten because the protagonist has a "hang."
Lei Ge is no exception.
On the first day of arriving in this world, Lei Ge discovered a transparent cube—the "Dimensional Cube."
It could only exist in Lei Ge's mind, unable to be taken out or examined, and no one else could detect its presence.
The function of the cube, as its name suggests, is related to dimensions.
"—Instructions for Using the Dimensional Cube—"
"1: The Dimensional Cube can automatically draw energy from the dimensions, once a month, to randomly open a dimensional passage for dimensional travel."
"2: The Dimensional Cube has the ability to convert different dimensional powers, which can be activated and used at any time."
"3: The Dimensional Cube comes with a storage space that can be opened and used at any time."
"4: Opening a dimensional passage to a specified world requires ten times the energy."
"5: Carrying items during dimensional travel requires energy consumption based on the item's value."
"6: Each dimensional travel session lasts for one day in the original world."
"7:"
Lei Ge had already learned these instructions and usage methods a month ago when he first encountered the Dimensional Cube.
This is also why Lei Ge has remained calm and well-behaved since arriving in this world.
Even though he knew his "gate" was completely damaged and he could no longer use magic, and that someone was secretly watching his life, Lei Ge could maintain his composure, relying on this mysterious Dimensional Cube.
Of course, even without the Dimensional Cube, Lei Ge would not panic or sit idly by.
Someone plotting to kill him was nothing new; he had already gotten used to it, let alone now with the help of a "golden finger."
Now—
"The wounds are all healed, and I've been lying in bed for a whole month. The Dimensional Cube's once-a-month random dimensional travel should be usable, right?"
Anyway, whether it was Yuli or the priest, they both told him to rest for one more day. He might as well make full use of this day.
Lei Ge lay down with his eyes closed, and his consciousness began to operate the Dimensional Cube.
"Activate the dimensional passage."
As Lei Ge's consciousness sent the command to the Dimensional Cube, the transparent cube began to rotate in his mind.
"Command received, activating the dimensional passage."
"Energy sufficient, dimensional passage construction beginning."
"Construction successful."
Instantly, the transparent cube in Lei Ge's mind started moving.
It first rotated like a 3D animation, one frame at a time, and then each frame detached from the main body, breaking down into countless transparent cubes, rotating and intertwining with each other.
Soon, the rotating and intertwining transparent cubes formed a passage, extending to the end of the consciousness sea, disappearing into the invisible void.
"Dimensional passage activation complete, information collection complete."
"Searching the user's memory for highly matching information about the world on the other side of the passage, now organizing."
"Organization successful."
"Connected world: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?"
"Time ratio: 1:100."
"This dimensional travel is a consciousness descent. The user's consciousness will be materialized, and the death of the materialized consciousness will not affect the user, but the dimensional travel will end when the consciousness dies. Please act with caution."
Lei Ge's consciousness received this information from the Dimensional Cube, causing him to freeze on the spot.
Of course, the reason Lei Ge froze was not because of anything else.
Whether it was the form of dimensional travel or the different time ratios, Lei Ge had already learned about these from the instructions when he first encountered the Dimensional Cube.
So, he already knew that the time ratio between the two worlds would be different, and that he would be a consciousness descent.
This is why Lei Ge relied on the Dimensional Cube and remained calm from the beginning.
Because of the different time ratios, even if the dimensional passage only existed for one day, Lei Ge would have ample time to explore and develop in the other world.
Because of the consciousness descent, even if he died during the dimensional travel, Lei Ge would not be affected, at most just ending this journey.
Thus, Lei Ge could fully leverage the different time ratios and the absolutely safe situation to seek power and methods to resolve the crisis in other worlds.
This was Lei Ge's plan.
However, Lei Ge did not expect that the dimensional passage opened by the Dimensional Cube would ultimately connect to such a world.
"Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?"
"Is it this world?"
Lei Ge was both surprised and delighted.
He was surprised that the destination of the dimensional travel was not some unfamiliar alien world, but a world he had seen, known, and recognized.
He was delighted for the same reason.
After all, while Lei Ge could not claim to know this world inside and out, he did know a lot of information, even the so-called plot.
Thus, Lei Ge could save time and effort by using his knowledge of this world to obtain what he wanted.
This world indeed had what Lei Ge wanted.
It is a fantasy world where all races live in harmony, primarily composed of humans and demi-humans.
There, humans are not the only intelligent beings; there are also dwarves, beastmen, halflings, elves, and Amazons, and even "gods."
These "gods" left the heaven, which had no entertainment, to play with humans, voluntarily sealing their divine powers and coming to the lower world where humans and demi-humans live. They attract people to join their family forces by granting them the power called "blessings," thus establishing themselves on the ground.
"I remember that once you receive a god's blessing, you can gain experience points by defeating monsters, enemies, and opponents, just like in a game, to enhance your abilities, level up, and become stronger."
This kind of power, for Lei Ge, who had no time or patience for slow cultivation, was undoubtedly the most suitable.
As long as he joined a god's family and received a god's blessing, Lei Ge would have a means to become strong quickly.
Defeating enemies makes you stronger.
Slaying monsters makes you stronger.
A little training makes you stronger.
Experience points make you stronger.
"This first dimensional travel world is like it was tailor-made for me."
Realizing this, Lei Ge was not overly excited, but his heart could not help but stir slightly.
"The time ratio is 1:100?"
That means one day in this world is equivalent to 100 days in the other world.
And the duration of the dimensional travel is one day in the original world.
Under this time ratio, Lei Ge could stay in the other world for 100 days.
"Almost three and a half months. If everything goes smoothly, can I escape my current predicament?"
Lei Ge did not know.
But Lei Ge had no other choice.
Thus, Lei Ge made up his mind, extending his consciousness into the dimensional passage in his mind, allowing his consciousness to travel through the passage to another world.
As for Lei Ge himself, he remained in bed, falling into a deep sleep.
To an outsider, Lei Ge was just sleeping, resting.
Unbeknownst to them, Lei Ge's consciousness had already traveled to another world, no longer in this one.
Time seemed to lose its meaning in that instant.
Lei Ge did not know how long he wandered in the dimensional passage, nor how long it took him to emerge from it.
He could only feel that he was floating like a ghost in a tunnel of light without an end, and it seemed to last for a very long time.
After an unknown period, Lei Ge's vision suddenly brightened, and he felt a heavy sensation all over his body.
No, it was not that his body suddenly became heavy, but that his originally weightless consciousness had materialized, regaining its weight.
He felt the solid ground beneath his feet.
The surroundings were filled with noise.
Lei Ge almost reflexively opened his eyes, taking in the scene before him.
Then, Lei Ge was stunned.
A street filled with a foreign atmosphere suddenly appeared before his eyes.
The bustling street was unlike any modern scene in Lei Ge's memory; it was full of a fantastical flavor.
There were strong dwarves wearing weapons and armor, walking with powerful, clanging steps.
There were beastmen with animal-like ears and tails chatting and laughing with human women.
There were elves with pointed ears and exceptionally beautiful appearances basking in others' praise as they walked through the street.
There were halflings like children and brown-skinned girls chasing and playing with each other.
The surrounding buildings were like medieval houses, full of historical charm.
A fresh and colorful fantastical world appeared before Lei Ge's eyes, telling him that he was now standing on such a street, in such a scene.
Although he had just arrived in this world and just materialized, Lei Ge's arrival did not attract the attention of anyone on the street.
Whether they were humans or demi-humans, they passed by Lei Ge naturally, as if he had always been on this street, without any sense of being out of place.
This was probably due to Lei Ge's current attire.
The original world was a world of swords and magic, with a similar era and style, making Lei Ge's appearance in this world feel natural and unobtrusive.
After a long while, Lei Ge smiled.
He smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's start from this world."
With these words, Lei Ge took a step forward.
