At this moment, Wang Yichen had already stood in front of the plane selector, ready to choose a plane to traverse.
Among the four cards in the new player’s package, one would inevitably be a high-quality green or even blue card. Wang Yichen’s luck was good, and he actually drew a blue-quality protagonist card!
This blue-quality protagonist card had the attribute of "Special Forces." According to Moyan, a protagonist with this attribute would have a resilient personality and be very durable. As long as their luck wasn’t too bad, they would likely be able to stand firm in the traversed plane, making it the protagonist card with the lowest risk of explosion. The characteristics of a blue-quality Special Forces protagonist were even more pronounced.
The special skill attached to this blue-quality protagonist card was also very powerful: Card Restoration!
Card Restoration, as the name suggests, means that if the protagonist fails to traverse and dies, causing the card to explode, this card can still restore itself and be used again! And it can even restore itself twice in a row!
With a blue-quality Special Forces protagonist and the Card Restoration skill, the chance of the card exploding was reduced to the minimum!
With such a high-quality card, Wang Yichen decided to take a bigger risk.
The planes available for selection in the plane selector were divided into ordinary planes and virtual reality planes. Ordinary planes were completely fictional planes where only attributes could be specified. For example, you could choose a plane with a difficulty level of one and a Western fantasy characteristic, and the plane selector would randomly generate a plane that met these two attributes.
Virtual reality planes, on the other hand, were planes that had prototypes in reality. For example, historical planes like the Three Kingdoms, the Ming and Qing dynasties, World War II, or urban planes parallel to the real world.
In addition to these two types of planes, the plane selector had many other planes with different attributes, but none of them were suitable for Wang Yichen, whose protagonist aura was only level zero.
Compared to ordinary planes, virtual reality planes were more challenging. After all, with reality as a constraint, changing reality or even altering history was quite difficult. However, one thing was certain: the higher the difficulty of the plane, the better the rewards.
Because he had a blue-quality Special Forces protagonist card, Wang Yichen felt he could challenge a higher difficulty plane to get better rewards, so he chose a level two difficulty plane.
When Moyan saw Wang Yichen’s choice, she immediately stood up, her eyes wide with anger, as if she wanted to stop Wang Yichen’s actions. However, Wang Yichen had already entered the game area, and Moyan, as a guide, could not enter the game area or communicate with Wang Yichen in any way.
In the end, Moyan could only sit back down, her cold laughter echoing, and the small leather whip in her hand making a loud cracking sound: "You fool with less than a milligram of brain, do you really think you can survive in a level two plane just because you’re a second-rate person? The success rate for a level zero protagonist aura in a level two plane is one in a million, you fool!"
Wang Yichen, however, could not feel Moyan’s anger at all. Once he entered the player area, everything from the outside world was blocked out.
Finally, Wang Yichen made his choice: a random virtual reality plane with a difficulty level of two, the traversal method being possession, with automatic perception of the protagonist’s thoughts, and a perception time limit of two hours. After confirming the information, Wang Yichen nodded and inserted the blue-quality protagonist card into the slot of the plane selector.
"Buzz!"
In that instant, the plane selector emitted a loud hum and a beam of white light, enveloping Wang Yichen entirely.
Blinding light, deafening metallic sounds, and a dizzying sense of weightlessness—this was everything Wang Yichen felt...
After a long while, these unpleasant sensations gradually dissipated. Wang Yichen slowly regained his senses and began to see his surroundings clearly—since he had chosen the mode of perceiving the protagonist’s thoughts, his current field of vision was the protagonist’s, and he could also perceive the protagonist’s thoughts.
Wang Yichen saw that he was in a grand hall with intricate carvings and paintings, dressed in silk and brocade. Since he had chosen the possession traversal mode, his protagonist would inhabit the body of a historical figure and be reborn. It seemed that the person his protagonist possessed was quite wealthy and noble.
This discovery greatly invigorated Wang Yichen. The protagonist generated by the protagonist card, with the attribute of Special Forces, was also very excited. He stood up, looked himself over from head to toe, and even spun around several times in excitement.
Next, the Special Forces protagonist began to search through the memories of the person he possessed. The results were quite good. The person he possessed was indeed wealthy and noble, and more importantly, was exceptionally talented, almost a perfect template for a historical protagonist. Although his physical condition was a bit weak, Wang Yichen’s protagonist was a Special Forces member, and with some training, this wouldn’t be a problem.
The Special Forces protagonist nodded in satisfaction and suddenly felt poetic, reciting a poem he had previously written: "When will the spring flowers and autumn moon end, how many past events do we know? Last night the east wind blew again in the small tower, the old country cannot be recalled in the bright moonlight. The carved railings and jade steps should still be there, but the beauty has changed. Ask how much sorrow you can have, it’s like a river of spring water flowing east... Damn!"
Halfway through the recitation, Wang Yichen realized something was wrong. By the time he finished, both Wang Yichen and the Special Forces protagonist were dumbfounded.
Traversing into such a tragic figure was really unlucky.
At this moment, several strangely dressed, robust, and unfriendly men suddenly burst into the hall, shouting at the Special Forces protagonist: "The emperor has a decree, to grant wine to the Duke of Long!"
...
A few minutes later, Wang Yichen’s consciousness was ejected back into the main game space—although his protagonist was a Special Forces member, the body he possessed was too weak, and he was eventually overpowered by the intruders and forced to drink the deadly poison, dying on the spot.
Wang Yichen’s first traversal experience ended tragically. The Card Restoration skill on the blue protagonist card automatically took effect, regenerating the protagonist and entering the corresponding plane according to Wang Yichen’s choice.
"Traversing into the body of Li Yu, that short-lived person, was really unlucky... It seems that scholars are unreliable unless in a plane where their rhetoric can be converted into machine gun fire. This time, I’ll possess a mighty general, at least ensuring my safety."
When the white light of the plane selector enveloped Wang Yichen again, he thought to himself.
It seemed as if the plane selector had heard Wang Yichen’s thoughts. When he completed his traversal and regained his senses, he found that his Special Forces protagonist had indeed become a mighty general this time!
And not just any general, but a super-general who was the bravest in the army and extremely strategic, almost the best general of his time!
Around him were countless tiger warriors loyal to him. Although there were many enemy soldiers in front of him, they seemed like mere clay chickens and tile dogs in his eyes.
Both Wang Yichen and the Special Forces protagonist were exhilarated and filled with excitement. This was where a man should traverse!
In his excitement, the Special Forces protagonist couldn’t help but laugh aloud and then roar at the enemy soldiers in front of him: "Who dares to kill me? Who dares to kill me? Who dares to kill me!"
"Damn, something seems off again..." Wang Yichen couldn’t help but mutter to himself when he saw this.
"I dare to kill you!" At this moment, the Special Forces protagonist heard a roar from behind him, like a thunderclap, making his eardrums hurt. As he turned his head, he saw a flash of bright blade...
A second later, Wang Yichen’s consciousness was ejected back into the main game space again.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah..." Wang Yichen let out a loud wail, feeling extremely frustrated and angry.
