Chapter 3

The three days passed quickly!

Looking at the time, there was only one minute left until the game opened. Chu Rui put on his helmet, lay down on the bed, and began to wait.

Power on!

His vision darkened, and Chu Rui entered the game again!

He found himself back in the valley where he had created his account!

"Ten seconds until the game starts!"

"Nine seconds until the game starts!"

"......"

"One second until the game starts!"

"The game is now open. Do you want to enter?"

With a light tap on the carving in front of him, he activated it, and his body was instantly sucked in, while the six other class carvings around him crumbled instantly.

"Enter the game!"

A bright white light shone, and when Chu Rui's vision cleared, he found himself in a very ancient town!

Feeling his body, he realized there was fabric. It seemed that to protect privacy, the game company had given players some protection, avoiding the cliché of coming out in just a pair of shorts and a bra.

"Damn, what the hell is this? I wanted to stay here and see the girls' nudity!"

"Damn, this is inhumane. Protest! Protest!"

"Two idiots, instead of complaining here, you should go level up. Wait until there are more people, and see how you play."

"......"

Hearing the conversations around him, Chu Rui couldn't help but laugh.

He opened his backpack, took out the wooden sword given by the system, and equipped it.

Check the equipment!

Beginner's Wooden Sword: Attack 3-5, never wears out!

Beginner's Clothes: Defense 5, never wears out!

Beginner's Straw Shoes: Defense 1, never wears out!

Sigh, am I really a primitive inhabitant now?

Looking at his hemp clothes, straw shoes, and a wooden sword that looked like a stick, Chu Rui couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Forget it, better find a place to level up first! Otherwise, there will be more and more people!

Glancing at the constantly flashing lights, each flash meant a player had joined "Heaven's Destiny." The beginner village was a closed world, and it was impossible to leave until reaching level 10. In this limited beginner village, with so many players, to quickly reach level 10 and enter the city, one had to seize the opportunity.

Holding the wooden sword, Chu Rui ran quickly. With a speed of 2, it wasn't very fast, but compared to many players who hadn't even reached 10 agility points, it was quite fast.

Rushing straight ahead, he encountered an NPC with the word "Village Chief" above his head at the village entrance!

Quest!

Stopping abruptly, Chu Rui quickly approached and spoke to the village chief.

"Hello, Village Chief. Is there anything you need help with?"

"Hello, brave warrior. Welcome to Beginner Village 22222. I hope you can find your own path in the 'Heaven's Destiny' world, continuously grow stronger, surpass yourself, and stand at the peak!"

Chu Rui: "......"

Leaving the village chief dejectedly, it was clear that getting a quest wasn't that easy.

Outside the village, it was already crowded. The level 1 rabbits and chickens that had just respawned were killed instantly by countless wooden swords before they could even see the world. It was truly tragic! Fortunately, the bodies respawned quickly, or the ground would be littered with corpses, which would be even more tragic!

Glancing at the players who were eagerly waiting for the monsters to respawn, Chu Rui lost interest. He didn't want to fight over monsters with the crowd. Moreover, to be the first to leave the beginner village, just killing level 1 rabbits and chickens wouldn't be enough. To seize the opportunity, he needed to start differently. With his attributes already far superior to ordinary players, he needed to find higher-level monsters.

Walking further out, the monsters generally became stronger the farther away from the village. At level 0, dealing with level 1 monsters was already challenging, and level 2 or higher monsters were almost impossible without teamwork. However, with his attributes and awareness, Chu Rui should be able to handle higher-level monsters.

Wild Chicken: Level 2, HP: 100/100, Attack: 15!

Walking a bit further, the monsters here were level 2 wild chickens, with HP and attack twice that of level 1 rabbits and chickens. Therefore, there were fewer players here, and most who came were with friends.

Although there were fewer people, the monsters were still in short supply. Chu Rui didn't want to conflict with these people, so he glanced around and went deeper.

Chu Rui's sudden appearance caught the attention of many. Most assumed he was here because the level 1 monsters were all taken or wanted to go deeper, so they didn't pay much attention. However, a few noticed him. Seeing Chu Rui continue deeper, many sneered, thinking that level 2 monsters required teamwork, and going for even stronger monsters alone was suicide.

Chu Rui didn't know what others thought, and even if he did, he would just laugh it off. He continued deeper, passing through the level 2 wild chicken area.

"Hey, brother, ahead is the territory of gray wolves, very dangerous!"

Seeing Chu Rui's back, a handsome young man called out.

Chu Rui turned, glanced at him and his companions, and smiled lightly, ignoring the young man's well-intentioned warning and continuing alone into the gray wolf area.

"Brother, don't bother with him. He's just asking for death by challenging the level 5 gray wolves now!"

The short man beside the handsome young man pouted and said disdainfully.

"Is he really asking for death?"

Looking at Chu Rui's back, the handsome young man frowned slightly but didn't have time to think deeply as his friends pulled him back into battle with the wild chickens.

Entering the gray wolf area, Chu Rui soon encountered a gray wolf about the size of a calf!

Gray Wolf: Level 5, HP: 300/300, Attack: 35, Defense: 5!

Seeing the gray wolf's stats, Chu Rui broke out in a cold sweat. What the hell? Level 2 monsters followed by level 5 monsters? What a joke!

Chu Rui noticed the gray wolf, and the gray wolf noticed him. Thinking it was a level 3 monster, Chu Rui was now in an awkward position, unable to advance or retreat. Unlike the rabbits, chickens, and wild chickens, gray wolves were aggressive and would attack players on sight, which was a headache for players. Generally, with teamwork, dealing with non-aggressive monsters was easier, as one sudden attack could cripple them. However, with aggressive monsters, it was impossible to get close without being attacked, making it difficult to cripple them before the fight.

What a virtual big-tailed wolf, acting so tough? I could kill a tiger or lion like a cat or dog!

Seeing the gray wolf lower its front legs, lower its head, and prepare to attack, Chu Rui became angry. Without hesitation, he reversed his grip on the wooden sword, holding it like a dagger.

Perhaps sensing Chu Rui's aggressive stance, the gray wolf became enraged, pouncing forward with its hind legs.

A frontal attack?

Beasts are beasts, low-level monsters without intelligence are easy to handle!

A smile appeared on Chu Rui's face. As the gray wolf approached, he dodged the bite and thrust his wooden sword into its back.

Critical hit, -34!

A yellow damage number appeared, making Chu Rui grin.

A good start, the first attack was a critical hit, indeed powerful!

Perhaps in pain, the gray wolf turned, its fierce eyes fixed on Chu Rui, baring its teeth, and drooling disgustingly.

What a realistic virtual world, it feels like a real wolf.

"Ao..."

A wolf howl, the gray wolf attacked again, this time faster. Surprised, Chu Rui didn't have time to defend properly and was clawed on the shoulder.

-37

One hit, and his health dropped by almost a third.

Chu Rui's eyes turned cold. Normally, with the gray wolf's attack not hitting a vital point, Chu Rui's defense should have prevented such damage, but the level difference caused 37 points of damage.

Bowing slightly, he prepared like a hunting leopard. In reality, Chu Rui wouldn't be hurt by a mere wolf, but in the game, data limited him. However, Blood Hand Ghost Shadow wasn't a wolf that could be defeated easily.

Narrowing his eyes, Chu Rui stared at the gray wolf, his cold aura making it slightly timid.

Hmph, so realistic, a data-formed beast can even feel fear! Since you won't attack, I'll come to you. I'll make you pay for that claw!

A fierce light flashed in Chu Rui's eyes as he bent slightly and charged at the gray wolf.

"Ao..."

Intimidated by Chu Rui's aura, the gray wolf didn't lose its fighting spirit. Seeing the enemy charge, it pounced, leaping at Chu Rui.

Looking for death!

Seeing the gray wolf in mid-air, Chu Rui sneered.

"Agile Wind!"

Activating Agile Wind, Chu Rui's speed increased, and he dashed under the gray wolf, his wooden sword flicking.

Quick, concise, and lightning-fast, like a streak of light!

This was Blood Hand Ghost Shadow's killing move, a clean throat slash! One hit, one kill!

-138

"Congratulations, you hit the gray wolf's weak point, doubling the damage!"

Weak point damage plus critical hit! He dealt nearly 150 damage to the gray wolf!

Hmph!

Seeing the gray wolf land, Chu Rui sneered. In the game world, everything was data-driven. Otherwise, that wolf would have been dead! However, the outcome of the battle was now certain!

Taking advantage of the Agile Wind effect, Chu Rui rushed to the gray wolf's landing spot, swinging his wooden sword wildly, finishing off the already critically injured gray wolf!
