Chapter 2

Unexpectedly, Zhao Feng played the role of a hero saving a beauty, but he felt no sense of being a hero. After secretly seeing Su Ziyang's bodyguards arrive, he quickly retreated.

Indeed, if he had appeared, as a savior, he believed he could have obtained a very substantial reward from Su Ziyang. After all, she was no longer the bar singer from 10 years ago.

Instead, she had become an international superstar with a considerable fortune, thanks to her unparalleled natural voice!

It was precisely because of her status that Zhao Feng was unwilling to meet her. Her identity was too sensitive, with countless paparazzi watching her. A slight mistake could lead to exposure.

Zhao Feng did not want to be the center of attention just yet!

What should have been a ten-minute journey, Zhao Feng took nearly half an hour to return home.

It wasn't that he walked slowly, but to avoid future trouble, he deliberately took a roundabout route, choosing to walk through street corners without cameras or where the cameras had blind spots.

Zhao Feng's home was in a relatively ordinary residential complex, a small room of about 60 square meters on the fourth floor.

In a place like Zhonghai City, even though his location was in the suburbs, this 60-square-meter apartment still cost 1.8 million Chinese yuan!

As a young single man, Zhao Feng's home was not as messy as people might imagine for a typical otaku. Although many things were scattered around, at least there were no stinky shoes or socks.

Although Zhao Feng was now somewhat lazy and didn't like tidying up, he still paid attention to personal hygiene.

He casually closed the door and walked directly into his bedroom, where there was no bed, only a blue metal pod measuring nearly 2 meters long and 1.2 meters wide.

This was the highest-end game pod in the game "Genesis." For it, Zhao Feng had spent a million Chinese yuan! Since buying it, his bank balance was down to less than 2,000 yuan.

This was the result of eating fast food for the entire month!

If he didn't find a source of income soon, he wouldn't even be able to afford fast food next month!

The game pod was expensive, but the enjoyment it brought to Zhao Feng was indeed extraordinary.

"Genesis" claimed to have a virtual reality level of 100%, but only by purchasing such a luxurious game pod could one truly experience it.

In addition, the cheapest game helmet had a virtual reality level of only about 75%, and the price difference was huge, costing only 2,000 Chinese yuan.

Even at 75%, it far exceeded the best virtual games of the past.

The game pod was expensive, but in addition to the 100% virtual reality experience, it had many other features, including identity binding.

There was no need to enter a username and password each time before logging into the game. Instead, it was directly bound to fingerprints and irises. Pressing a button on the pod's head would scan the fingerprint and iris, completing the process in one second.

The metal pod lid opened, revealing a soft pad covered in liquid. According to official information from "Genesis," the liquid protected the person inside, ensuring they would remain unharmed even if the pod fell from a height of 50 meters!

This was the fundamental reason why Zhao Feng was willing to spend a huge amount on it!

Once a person entered the game, their perception of the outside world decreased significantly. If an earthquake suddenly occurred, they might not even know how they died!

Lying on the pad felt like floating on water. The liquid gently rippled, making it feel like drifting on the sea, providing maximum relaxation and comfort.

This made Zhao Feng sigh, "Rich people really know how to enjoy life!"

Once he lay down, the metal pod lid automatically closed, fitting perfectly, making it impossible to open from the outside, even with a machine gun.

Inside, oxygen was automatically generated, so there was no feeling of suffocation. Several thin wires extended from the head position, covering the scalp. By closing his eyes and thinking about entering the game, he could directly appear in the game.

Zhao Feng did not immediately enter the game but instead activated the phone binding function of the game pod and dialed a number.

The call connected, ringing three times. Before the other party could answer, Zhao Feng hung up.

He began to count silently, and when he reached ten seconds, a call came in on time.

He answered, and there was no sound from the other end. Zhao Feng spoke directly, "Still on the mission?"

A young female voice came from the other end, sounding very young but also very concise, just a simple "Mm-hmm."

Zhao Feng didn't pay attention, as if he could see the person on the other end, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Finish this mission and come back directly. The virtual reality level of 'Genesis' is very high, and performing tasks in the game can provide more help!"

"Mm-hmm," the other party replied in the same simple manner.

Zhao Feng thought for a moment and added, "Be careful. If the mission is too difficult, abandon it. Oh, and when you come back, remember to get a luxury game pod."

"Mm-hmm," the other party replied for the third time in the same concise manner.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Feng confirmed he had nothing else to say and hung up.

"Enter the game." Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng's figure appeared in a dense forest the next moment.

Standing at about 1.76 meters tall, he wore a white robe given by the system, making his figure appear particularly tall and straight.

In reality, Zhao Feng was not particularly handsome, just slightly better than the average person.

But at this moment, his face had completely changed, becoming extremely ordinary, to the point where he would be unrecognizable in a crowd!

Even his own mother wouldn't recognize him!

To protect players' privacy, "Genesis" allowed players to adjust their appearance to a certain extent during the first initialization.

Ordinary game devices allowed for a 10% adjustment, while the luxury game pod provided a 30% adjustment!

Although 30% might not seem like much, if applied to key areas such as the eyes, nose, and mouth, it was enough to completely change a person's appearance!

This was a dense forest next to the 13th beginner village, covering an area of several square kilometers, with the tallest trees reaching over 100 meters and several people's arms in circumference!

The smallest trees were as thick as two adult thighs!

The game time and real time were one-to-one, and even the time difference was the same. Therefore, the forest was also in the night state at this moment.

Unlike reality, a huge moon, the size of a basin, hung in the sky, casting bright moonlight that made the surroundings only half as dark as daytime.

Although it affected visibility, most things could still be seen clearly.

Standing in the forest, one could feel the cold of the night and the delicate sensation of the breeze on the skin! This was 100% virtual reality!

All sensations were exactly the same as in reality!

"Check status." Zhao Feng thought, and the next moment, a virtual character panel appeared before him.

Name: Ghost Shadow Asura

Level: 1

Experience: 20/1000

Health: 100

Attack: 80-100

Defense: 90

Agility: 40

Internal Energy: 0

Luck: 0

Personal Reputation: 100

Skills: Basic Staff Technique (Level 1): Increases base damage by 50 (Mastery: 97/100)

Equipment:

White Robe (White Plate): Increases defense by 15 points

Indeed, Level 1! The game had been running for a month, and most players had already reached Level 30, with the highest on the level ranking at Level 36, while he was still at Level 1!

This was the result of killing a rabbit on the first day of entering the game to experience the game's monster-killing mechanics!

Since killing the rabbit and leveling up to Level 1, he had stayed in this forest and never left!

If someone saw Zhao Feng's character status, they would be shocked and exclaim that there was a bug in the game!

According to the official description of "Genesis," the basic attributes of a character, such as health, attack, and defense, were multiples of the level, ranging from 20 to 100.

Without any class change, health, attack, and defense were typically around 30 times the level. 30 was rare, and most were around 20 times the level. This meant that at Level 1, a typical person's attack would be between 10 and 20, and defense would be similar.

But Zhao Feng's attributes were directly doubled, and even more than doubled!

Although the difference was less than 100 points, this was just at Level 1! If this multiple remained constant, the higher the level, the greater the gap between Zhao Feng and others!

At Level 100, the gap would be in the thousands! A difference of thousands in attack could easily wipe out a large group of people!

Although he had not interacted with other players, Zhao Feng, who often browsed forums, knew that his attribute values were somewhat different from the norm. But he didn't care.

Although he didn't know the exact reason, when he first entered the game, the game pod's intelligent voice prompt could perform a body scan.

For him, who had already cultivated qi, his real-world body was far superior to that of an average person! It was reasonable for his attributes to stand out!

Looking at the 97% mastery of the Basic Staff Technique, a spark of excitement flashed in Zhao Feng's mind.

"Genesis" was different from ordinary games. In addition to the usual level-up method to increase attack, various skills could also significantly boost attack.

Cultivating skills was different from conventional online games, or rather, it was an improvement.

In "Genesis," skills and techniques were divided into 8 levels, from the lowest Level 1 to the highest Level 8.

Each level was further divided into three tiers: low, medium, and high.

All skills and techniques were divided into 5 realms: Initial Understanding, Minor Mastery, Clear Understanding, Major Mastery, and finally, Grandmaster Realm!

When first learning a skill or technique, everyone was at the Initial Understanding stage, able to use 100% of the skill's effectiveness.

The subsequent stages of Minor Mastery, Clear Understanding, and Major Mastery increased the effectiveness to 120%, 140%, and 180%-200%, respectively. The Grandmaster Realm was not specified by the official, but it was said that different skills or techniques had different increases, which players had to discover on their own.

For the past month, he had stayed in the forest, doing nothing but practicing the Basic Staff Technique he learned from the village chief in the beginner village when he first entered the game!

Spending a month, at his speed, he could complete the final 3% tonight and break through to the Grandmaster Realm!

Now that the game had just started, other players were eager to level up. Not to mention the Major Mastery realm, even the Clear Understanding realm had few people! Let alone the Grandmaster Realm!

His 100 personal reputation points were a reward for being the first to bring the Basic Staff Technique to the Major Mastery realm!
