Chapter 2

"Since I can't really play this game, experiencing it in a dream is also good!" With this thought, Jiang Fei steeled his resolve and began to follow the guide for new players, starting with character creation!

"Please choose your race!"

As the prompt sounded, four different male models of different races immediately appeared before Jiang Fei: Elf, Orc, Human, and Undead.

When Jiang Fei focused his gaze on the male elf, a message appeared before him: "Elf Race, a peaceful race with a flexible body and powerful magical talent. Strength growth B, Constitution growth C, Agility growth A, Intelligence growth A, Spirit growth B. Additional initial attributes: Agility +1, Intelligence +2! Racial talent: Child of the Forest, all attributes increase by 10% in forest terrain."

Next, Jiang Fei sequentially focused on the remaining three characters.

Orc Race: A brave fighting race with a strong physique and exceptional strength, but with a lower ability to understand magic. Strength growth A, Constitution growth A, Agility growth B, Intelligence growth C, Spirit growth B. Additional initial attributes: Strength +1, Constitution +2! Racial talent: Fury Rampage, immediately increases your attack power by 50%, while reducing your defense by 50%, lasting 10 seconds, with a 10-minute cooldown.

Human: A balanced and adaptable race, possibly not as strong as other races at birth, but with infinite potential for growth. Strength growth B, Constitution growth B, Agility growth B, Intelligence growth B, Spirit growth A. Additional initial attributes: Constitution +1, Spirit +2! Racial talent: Evolution, if you encounter a hidden race guide and complete the task, human players can evolve into a hidden race. (There are a total of 36 hidden race guides in the game, and each guide can only complete the evolution task for one player, so please choose carefully!) Resolute Human: If a human player chooses not to evolve, the talent will change to Resolute Human, increasing the experience points and skill proficiency gained from defeating monsters or completing tasks by 5%.

Undead Race: Reanimated corpses that narrowly escaped the enslavement of the Undead Emperor, barely retaining their will. Strength growth A, Constitution growth B, Agility growth B, Intelligence growth A, Spirit growth C. Additional initial attributes: Strength +2, Intelligence +1! Racial talent: Will of the Dead, removes and immunizes against mental magic for 5 seconds, with a 10-minute cooldown.

"Since it's just a dream experience, I'll choose the race with the highest growth potential! I'll go with Human!" If it were a real game, Jiang Fei would definitely choose the Elf race, as he wasn't a professional player and had no guild or other support, so he had no hope of becoming a hidden race. But in a dream, there were no such concerns. If he couldn't boldly explore in his own dream, he would be too stifled!

"Human race selected! Please wait!"

"Now, let's adjust your appearance! Please choose the direction and degree of optimization, or opt for free optimization, with a maximum of 20%."

This stage is commonly known as character customization, a feature in most online games. Generally, male players choose randomly, adjusting their appearance based on their own looks, while female players usually manually customize their appearance, though with limited adjustments.

"Parallel adjustment by 10%!" Jiang Fei had no patience for detailed customization; dream time was limited, and if he woke up and had wasted time on this, he would be devastated.

"Character generation in progress... Please wait!"

"Please enter your game nickname!"

As the prompt sounded, a slender young man with a similar build to Jiang Fei but a different appearance appeared before him.

"Grass Fly!" Jiang Fei chose the name out of a sense of mischief; he usually named his characters Wind Shadow, but in a dream, there were no such formalities!

"Character generation complete, you have been assigned to the 2015 Newbie Village!"

With the system prompt, a white light flashed before Jiang Fei's eyes, and he and the game character disappeared. When they reappeared, Jiang Fei was already in the game character's form, and the surroundings were completely different!

"Beast, take this!" Some players were already killing monsters!

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Other players were talking to NPCs, apparently looking for quests!

"Hehe! This dream is quite realistic!" Jiang Fei smiled.

"Of course, it's the result of Shengshi Corporation's decades of effort. This is a classic in the gaming world!" A player beside him sneered and educated him.

"Ah? Can you really interact so realistically in a dream?" Jiang Fei was a bit uncertain! After all, the surroundings and the conversations and actions of other players were too real, unlike a typical dream.

"Pinch yourself and see if it hurts!" Jiang Fei extended his right hand and pinched his thigh hard!

"Hmm?" He felt a slight pain!

"What's going on? I thought you don't feel pain in dreams? But if it's not a dream, why is the pain so weak?" Jiang Fei was puzzled!

"Damn! This can't be real! Did I really enter the game?" Jiang Fei suddenly realized!

According to the game's promotion, the default pain level in the game is 10%, which players can adjust up or down, with a maximum of 20% and a minimum of 0%. However, completely eliminating pain would lose the sense of realism, and only extremely delicate girls would set it to 0%.

"I really entered the game! I really entered the game!" Jiang Fei was filled with excitement, and his doubts about the mysterious ring were completely forgotten!

"Hey? How did you come in with me?" Just as Jiang Fei was happy, he noticed that the silver ring was still on his finger. Normally, items from the outside world couldn't be brought into the game, but this ring was very mysterious. Since it could bring him, a living person, into the game, bringing the ring itself in wasn't difficult!

Gently caressing the ring, Jiang Fei quickly discovered its function in the game: a 6x6 grid bag with 36 slots!

"Hehe! It's a small bonus!" Jiang Fei smiled, knowing well that a larger bag in the early stages of the game meant a lot!

"Although I don't know how I got in! Since I'm here, let me enjoy this game!" The easygoing Jiang Fei didn't dwell too much on the ring and was soon captivated by the game itself!
