Chapter 6

As he passed through the white light curtain at the front of the game realm, Wang Yichen clearly felt many rays of light and mysterious beams scanning his body back and forth. When he finally landed on the ground, only one or two seconds had passed, but an extremely complex authentication procedure had already been completed in that instant. From then on, this game realm became Wang Yichen's exclusive domain, and no one else could enter it.

"Damn, that violent and sharp-tongued woman..." Rubbing his sore back, Wang Yichen slowly got up. After standing there in a daze for a moment, he finally sighed, took a deep breath, and walked toward the game light brain.

Wang Yichen knew that the first time he entered the game realm, he could claim a beginner's gift pack, which contained four cards. For a beginner, this was definitely a huge wealth, and he naturally wouldn't waste it.

So even if it felt like being forced to do something he wasn't ready for, he had to complete this game process. Otherwise, the cards in the beginner's gift pack that had already been activated would automatically explode. Any character summoned by a card, once dead, or any item once destroyed, would cause the card to be damaged and re-converted into energy, disappearing in the main game space. This was what was known as "card explosion."

Approaching the game light brain, which looked like a nebula of misty light, Wang Yichen closed his eyes.

"Newcomer No. R95277, this is your first time using the game light brain. You can claim a beginner's gift pack. Do you want to claim it now?" A mechanical voice, devoid of emotion, soon echoed in Wang Yichen's mind.

Wang Yichen used his mind to choose to claim it. Immediately, four cards enveloped in white light appeared before Wang Yichen's "eyes." However, at this moment, the four cards were all facing away from Wang Yichen, and he could only vaguely "see" their backs, which were engraved with ancient and intricate patterns.

"Choose your card type." The light brain's voice sounded again.

This time, Wang Yichen hesitated and did not make an immediate choice.

Although he still knew very little about the main game world, anyone with a bit of sense would know that the four cards in the beginner's gift pack were crucial for a newcomer and should be chosen carefully.

"Since I'm playing the game, these four cards should naturally be game cards," Wang Yichen thought. "According to that violent and sharp-tongued woman, the golden finger card and character card are the keys to early development. Compared to the character card, which summons auxiliary experts to help the protagonist at critical moments, the golden finger card has a long-term effect. For a newcomer, the golden finger card is undoubtedly more practical."

"Of course, the protagonist card is the foundation of the game, and the more protagonist cards you have, the more game opportunities and rewards you will get. However, in the early stages, a practical golden finger card is more important. As long as my protagonist can stand firm in the plane, there will be opportunities to gain halo experience and cards."

"So... I'll take one protagonist card and three golden finger cards in this beginner's gift pack."

Having made up his mind, Wang Yichen used his mind to start choosing the type of the first card.

"Let's start with a protagonist card." After selecting the card type, a confirmation box immediately appeared in his mind. After using his mind to press "confirm," something unexpected happened: the four cards all flipped over at once, and they all turned into protagonist cards!

It was only at the moment the four cards flipped that Wang Yichen noticed a "single selection" and "all selection" option in the lower right corner of the selection box in his mind, with "all selection" being the default option...

"Damn, this is a scam!" Wang Yichen almost spat blood on the light brain. This kind of scam tactic was something he had only seen in ** software before, and he never thought that this seemingly powerful light brain would also resort to such tricks...

Could it be that the boss was once harassed by a lot of ** software? Or did he read too many small websites... Wang Yichen speculated maliciously in his mind.

However, no matter how much he complained, the fact that Wang Yichen's beginner's gift pack contained four protagonist cards could not be changed. "Well, more protagonist cards mean more opportunities. If I have good luck and all four protagonists can develop in the plane, the final rewards will be much greater." Wang Yichen could only console himself this way.

Next, Wang Yichen began to draw the free card he could get once a day.

In the early stages, it was very difficult for a newcomer to obtain cards. Even if they could get cards, they would almost always only get the lowest-level white cards. Only this once-a-day free draw opportunity could allow newcomers to obtain higher-level cards. Therefore, this opportunity was often referred to as a "slot machine" by many newcomers.

However, while the slot machine could produce high-level cards, it was not unlimited and purely random. The quality levels of all cards in the main game space were divided into seven grades: white (low), green (common), blue (high), purple (excellent), red (perfect), gold (divine), and the legendary supreme platinum card. The highest-level card that could be drawn from the slot machine was only two levels higher than the protagonist's halo.

In other words, only after the protagonist's halo reached level five could all quality levels of cards be drawn from the slot machine. For a beginner like Wang Yichen, whose halo was at level zero, the highest-level card he could draw was a blue high-quality card—this chance was about one in ten thousand.

The protagonist's halo was the most important thing for a player, and its effects were reflected in various aspects, including the slot machine.

" Ding!"

At this moment, the slot machine in Wang Yichen's mind had stopped spinning, and a card appeared in his hand. Wang Yichen glanced at it and found his luck was quite good—it was a green card! However, upon closer inspection, Wang Yichen immediately rolled his eyes.

This green card was actually another protagonist card!

Including the cards from the beginner's gift pack and the slot machine, Wang Yichen now had five cards, all of which were protagonist cards.

Not to mention Wang Yichen's frustration, Mo Yan, who was watching all this from outside the light curtain, although her expression remained unchanged, a cold, mocking look flashed in her eyes. She had already explained the functions of the cards so clearly that anyone with a brain should know that only a combination of farming cards and protagonist cards could minimize the risk of card explosion.

But Wang Yichen had chosen all protagonist cards, which was nothing more than a gambler's mentality, hoping for a stroke of luck to get the maximum benefit. Another... foolish person who refuses to work hard and only hopes for a windfall! Mo Yan sneered inwardly.
