Chapter 7

【First, I must solemnly state: This book is not about online games! It's not an infinite loop story! It's not about a parallel world! I can only say that this is a modern background supernatural novel... You'll understand the specifics as you read on.

Once again, I must state: This is not an online game novel!】

Chapter 6: [Activation? What's Going On?!]

[Personal Settings]

The interface flashed rapidly.

Physical Strength: D+

Stamina: D

Agility: C

Energy: None

Melee Combat: C-

Ranged Combat: None

... (Is this a character setting??)

Chen Xiaolian felt lost. Suddenly, he had an overwhelming sense of absurdity.

Is this a game? A game?? A damn game?!

Chen Xiaolian, a well-known writer who had written and read countless online novels of various genres, immediately grasped some key issues.

A game? A穿越 (time travel)? An infinite loop? Or a parallel world?

[Coordinate Radar Activated]... Huh? What's this?

Chen Xiaolian tapped it. Then, a hexagonal frame appeared on the interface.

At the center was a green dot.

The green dot was flashing, with two small yellow dots beside it.

Chen Xiaolian thought for a moment... Hmm, the green dot must be me. The yellow dots must be those two girls...

Huh?

There was also a red dot, flashing continuously, and it seemed to be moving?

So fast!

At the same time, a roar echoed from a distance.

Chen Xiaolian's mind lit up: That monster!

Wait... Wait...

It's a bit chaotic! A bit chaotic!

I need to think carefully! Think...

Dazed, Chen Xiaolian sat down.

The Korean little girl had already stood up, wobbling as she ran to the front, somehow getting a bottle of mineral water, struggling to unscrew the cap, and handing it to Chen Xiaolian.

"Thank you."

Chen Xiaolian sighed, "What's your name?"

"Oppa, you can speak Korean!"

The little girl seemed very surprised.

"Uh..." Chen Xiaolian didn't know how to explain.

"My name is Jeon In-soo." The little girl lifted her small face with effort, her clear and tender voice: "Oppa, you can call me Soo-soo, that's what my older sister calls me."

"Soo-soo..." Chen Xiaolian smiled bitterly, pointing to himself: "I'm Chen Xiaolian."

"Yes, Xiao Lan Oppa."

"It's Xiao Lian..."

"Yes, Xiong Lian Oppa..."

"Xiao Lian!"

"Xiao Lian Oppa..."

"...Alright." Chen Xiaolian gave up on this pointless topic.

"Oppa, I'm scared... Where are we now? Where are we? Is that thing very bad?"

That thing... Chen Xiaolian helplessly scratched his head, thinking: "Don't worry, we're safe here."

After all, she was a child, and children seem to have a natural trust and reliance on adults. Soo-soo's bright eyes flashed with a sense of relief, and she found a comfortable spot, leaning against Chen Xiaolian and resting on the seat.

Ryomen Shizuka stared at the two of them blankly.

The smooth communication between them and the fluent Korean coming from the boy's mouth...

He actually knows Korean?

"Excuse me, you, you two?"

Ryomen Shizuka couldn't help but speak.

"Uh..." Chen Xiaolian wasn't surprised to find that he understood this Japanese sentence.

"Wait a moment." Chen Xiaolian waved his hand wearily: "Something seems to be wrong, I need some quiet."

"You can speak Japanese!?"

"Hey, if you keep talking about these pointless topics, the readers will think you're just padding the word count..."

...

Chen Xiaolian was silent for about half an hour. Then he got up and ran to the cabin door, observing outside for a long time.

From deep in the forest, the monster's roars could be heard from time to time. Based on the sound's location and the red dot on the "radar," Chen Xiaolian confirmed his previous guess.

The red dot was the monster.

A game? Settings?

As a writer, although he hadn't experienced such a bizarre situation... he had written and read countless stories, no matter how unbelievable!

At least his psychological resilience and acceptance were higher than the average person's.

If this is a game setting... regardless of why such an absurd and ridiculous situation has occurred, let's deal with the immediate problem first.

A game... so there must be a quest!

Chen Xiaolian thought and found a box called [Instance Quest] in the interface...

Tap! Tap immediately!

Newbie Quest 1: Hunt or capture one battle beast to gain entry into the instance.

Note: Known battle beasts: ?

There was actually a question mark, tap!

Soon, a thumbnail of the monster appeared in his field of vision.

Four-Eyed Battle Cat: B- level battle beast, melee type. Growth potential: ???

Four-Eyed Battle Cat?

Chen Xiaolian, who was prone to nitpicking, couldn't help but complain: "I'm a six-eyed flying fish!!"

If this is a game... then the person who wrote the script must be terrible!

...

The quest was that ridiculously powerful monster.

But how could he deal with it? It could knock down a tree with a single swipe of its paw!

With his small build...

Wait...

Having experienced countless games, Chen Xiaolian immediately thought of a question.

Newbie...

There should be newbie equipment, right?

If this is a game, they wouldn't create an impossible quest to make players die!

There must be something he hasn't discovered yet!

After checking several interfaces, including the personal settings, Chen Xiaolian cheered!

He jumped up from the ground.

Newbie Equipment Pack!!

Ha!! That's what I'm looking for!!

Huh?

When he tapped it, he found it was just a... steel ball?

His hand felt cold, and he looked down to see the steel ball in his palm.

Activate!

Buzz!!

The steel ball suddenly changed, turning into...

A sword!!

A sizzling sound like electricity, the steel ball transformed into a metal handle with a beam of light...

At that moment, several words flashed in Chen Xiaolian's mind:

Star Wars? Lightsaber? Jedi? The Force?

He didn't have time to pay attention to the two girls, who were staring at him in shock.

Chen Xiaolian tried swinging the sword.

Sss!!

A cabin seat was cut in half! The cut was neat, with a burnt smell!

"So sharp!"

Chen Xiaolian was a bit afraid... would it hurt him?

[Basic Enhancement Pack]?

Open!

100 points?

On the personal settings interface, a "+" sign appeared after each of his stats.

Chen Xiaolian looked at the interface, thought for a moment, and made a decision.

What about later growth... who has the time to think about that now!

Regardless of whether it's an instance or a quest.

The monster outside is wandering, and the priority is to take it down first, then find a chance to escape!

Get out of here alive!!

So, all points to melee!

Stamina! Physical Strength! Agility!

Chen Xiaolian temporarily gave up on stamina, dividing the 100 points between physical strength and agility.

Soon, the points were used up...

Physical strength went from D to C, and agility from C to B.

It didn't seem to have any effect? No feeling like a sudden surge of power or a divine enlightenment?

Chen Xiaolian tried extending his hand and punching the cabin wall...

Bang!!

A fist-shaped imprint appeared on the composite material wall, deeply indented!

Success!!

Chen Xiaolian's heart was suddenly excited!!

He touched his fist... it didn't hurt!! It really didn't hurt!!

The cautious nature he had developed from years of writing novels came into play.

Chen Xiaolian didn't impulsively rush out with the sword to fight the monster—what if he died? Who knows if this "game" has a resurrection mechanism!

Maybe... only one chance?

No matter what, he wouldn't risk his life.

He sat at the cabin door, thinking for a long time...

Seeing the sun gradually setting, Chen Xiaolian decided he couldn't wait any longer!

He started to get busy.

The two girls watched in shock as Chen Xiaolian dismantled the seats in the cabin.

One by one... he suddenly became incredibly strong, and the heavy seats, some of which were almost torn apart by his sheer force!

This scene made the two girls suddenly afraid. Soo-soo was okay, but Ryomen Shizuka shrank back in fear, wishing she could hide in a corner—this boy suddenly seemed dangerous.

Chen Xiaolian didn't explain. He dragged the seats out one by one and threw them onto the ground outside the cabin.

He carefully set up his own "battlefield."

The monster was very powerful and agile... more obstacles could limit its strengths and maximize his advantages...

Hearing the roars from the forest, Chen Xiaolian made all the preparations he could.

Standing at the cabin door, he turned around and looked at the two girls huddled in the corner, walking over to them.

"Stay here, don't come out... no matter what happens, don't go out!!"

Looking at the little girl named Soo-soo, Chen Xiaolian felt in his pocket, found a chocolate, and put it in her hand, then ruffled her cute mushroom head.

"Be good, wait for me here, I'll take you home!"

Gripping the "sword" tightly, Chen Xiaolian clenched his teeth and walked out of the cabin.

Behind him, Soo-soo clutched the chocolate, her eyes wide as she watched Chen Xiaolian's back.

"Oppa..."
