Chapter 10

"Such a series of dogshit luck..." Wang Yichen muttered under his breath.

As the protagonist, having dogshit luck is almost a necessity. Things like finding an egg that turns out to be a dragon egg, or adopting a puppy that turns out to be a divine beast, are still considered quite common. Anyway, in the hands of the protagonist, even a pile of shit can turn into a golden nugget.

Therefore, on the protagonist card's skill, there would naturally be a corresponding representation. Such skills are called "dogshit luck" series skills.

The "dogshit luck" series is considered the most common type of protagonist card skill. These skills are mostly quite practical. However, it is obvious that most "dogshit luck" series skills only take effect after the protagonist has established a foothold in the other world, and do not provide much help for the protagonist's early survival—like this初级蛋神术 (初级 egg divine technique). Even if Wang Yichen's protagonist could immediately find an egg upon crossing over to the other world and successfully turn it into a divine beast egg, the protagonist would still be a "weak chicken" until the divine beast is hatched and raised—just a "weak chicken" holding an egg at best...

So if Wang Yichen, this green "weak chicken" protagonist, were to cross over to the other world, he would likely die a hundred deaths...

But before that, Wang Yichen had already activated this green protagonist card. If he didn't use it within a short period, it would automatically explode. Reluctantly, Wang Yichen randomly generated a plane and inserted the green protagonist card into the slot.

Then Wang Yichen turned and walked away—he didn't even bother to see which plane his protagonist had crossed over to. Anyway, he didn't think this "weak chicken" protagonist could create any miracles.

Wang Yichen walked out of the game area with his head hanging low and immediately saw Mo Yan with a mocking look on her face.

"I've met many foolish newbies, but compared to you, you are thoroughly foolish," Mo Yan flicked the small leather whip in her hand and sneered, "You didn't even keep a food card for yourself. It looks like you'll get a taste of being a beggar in the main game space on your first day."

Wang Yichen was taken aback and then slapped his forehead, "Right! Damn!"

In the main game space, from battles to daily life, everything relies on various cards. Therefore, the main game space provides various types of life cards, and food cards are one of them. Compared to battle cards, life cards are easier to obtain and are quite generous.

A regular, even just a white-quality food card, can provide the dietary needs of an adult male for about a month—though the taste won't be great. If you want better-tasting food, you have to collect various gourmet cards.

Because life cards are cheap and practical, people in the main game space don't worry about their daily lives—even newbies. Therefore, there are no facilities like restaurants in the main game space. Without a food card, Wang Yichen had two choices—starve until the next free card draw opportunity or beg from other players with food cards.

Of course, if Mo Yan could provide some support... Wang Yichen involuntarily looked at Mo Yan.

"Ha—You must be blind. Instructors who reveal too much game experience to players will be punished, let alone directly providing cards. If I did that, the BOSS would definitely erase me."

"I admit that there are some saints who are willing to sacrifice their lives for fools, but unfortunately, I am not one of them. On the contrary, I have a very bad temper. Remember this, it's good for both of us." Mo Yan stood up, waved her whip, and walked away without looking back.

Wang Yichen flipped Mo Yan off and said fiercely, "Damn, I don't believe I'll starve without your help!"

As soon as he said that, his stomach made a loud growl—after all this time, it was already late in the day. He had been too nervous, scared, curious, and excited to feel hungry. Now that he noticed, the emptiness in his stomach immediately took effect.

Wang Yichen looked around, feeling a bit dejected. At least in this bare newbies' dormitory, there was no way to find any food. To fill his stomach and get through this first long night, he could only go out to the public area of the main game space and try his luck.

Holding his stomach, Wang Yichen slowly walked out of the dormitory and turned down the metal alley that looked very sci-fi. He returned to the large square where he had first crossed over—the Obsidian Square.

By now, it was already quite late, and most of the card vendors on the Obsidian Square had already dispersed. Only a few vendors were still selling cards under the dim light, but they were not affordable for Wang Yichen, who had no money.

Without the crowd of card vendors, the Obsidian Square suddenly seemed very desolate, a stark contrast to the bustling activity during the day. A few passersby hurried by, making the square seem even more empty and desolate.

A few card vendors were chatting idly. Wang Yichen squeezed in to listen—he still knew almost nothing about the main game space. The white metal disc had only given him some basic game knowledge. Wang Yichen didn't even know what currency was needed to buy cards in the main game space. So he needed to learn some common knowledge to avoid making a fool of himself and taking the wrong path.

The card vendors glanced at Wang Yichen and then looked away. No one drove him away, but no one greeted him either.

The items these card vendors sold were quite impressive—various firearms, Transformers, warriors, secret manuals...

But compared to when he first crossed over, Wang Yichen was now more calm when he saw these things—after all, these golden finger cards could only be used to upgrade the protagonists in the planes, and he himself couldn't use them. Since he couldn't use them, no matter how good they looked, they were useless...

After listening for a while, Wang Yichen finally learned some common knowledge.

The currency used in the main game space is called energy coins. These energy coins are obtained from a special type of card. Because these energy coins can be used to buy items in the "official" store of the main game space, they have the support of the "official" and thus have reliable purchasing power.

Additionally, perhaps due to the BOSS's manipulation, the drop rate of energy coins is related to the total number of cards in the main game space. Therefore, using energy coins as currency can also ensure the value of the cards and prevent inflation.

Thus, energy coins gradually became the general equivalent in the main game space, allowing the main game space to establish a basic commercial network. Although the main game space lacks commercial facilities like restaurants from Earth civilization, the card-selling stores and related industries have already developed quite prosperously. The card vendors on the square are only considered the lowest-level merchants in the main game space, equivalent to street vendors on Earth.

Knowing this, Wang Yichen felt much better—he thought of the red-haired muscle man who had scared him on the square. Looking at his arrogant appearance, Wang Yichen thought he was someone important, but it turned out he was just a street vendor.

Wang Yichen sneered repeatedly, thoroughly despising the muscle man vendor in his heart, but he forgot that he himself was just a potential beggar who couldn't even afford a meal...
