Chapter 2

Zhan Fei was also taken aback for a moment, then he re-entered the account and password, but received the same prompt again. Annoyed, he slammed the laptop shut and lay down on the bed. This game had been his mental support for so long, and now that his character was suddenly gone, Zhan Fei felt an overwhelming sense of emptiness.

After all, he had been playing this game for several months, and it had been the main focus of his energy over the past two years. Most students were the same. After five years of primary school, three years of junior high, and three years of high school, eleven years of study had left everyone, except for a few, tired of learning. Zhan Fei was no different.

In college, management was much more relaxed, so attending university was almost like taking a long break. After eleven years of study, everyone went wild with play. Only a few ambitious and driven individuals continued to study and improve themselves.

Clearly, Zhan Fei did not belong to this elite group. His college motto was to lose his virginity, but he had not yet succeeded. This was because he was at Bozhou Institute of Technology, where there were more "wolves" than "sheep." Among these wolves, Zhan Fei was just an ordinary one.

Although there were beautiful girls at the school, he couldn't even get a "ugly girl," let alone a beautiful one. His two roommates were in the same situation. Wolves who couldn't get "meat" couldn't go out and "score" like the outstanding wolves. They could only stay in the dorm and play games.

Lying on the bed, Zhan Fei fantasized about being chosen by a goddess at the school, who would go crazy to make him her boyfriend. Drowsily, he seemed to be falling asleep, and in his dream, he was about to "score" with a goddess.

But just then, a status panel suddenly appeared before his eyes. Zhan Fei, who was a bit dazed, immediately became alert. How could this be? He had his eyes closed. How could he see this? Was he dreaming?

Thinking this, Zhan Fei forced his eyes open. The status panel in front of him went dark like a screen that had lost power, and a beam of light appeared. Then, Zhan Fei saw the ceiling of the dorm room, which he had almost memorized. He pinched his arm, and it hurt!

So, he wasn't dreaming? Then what was that status panel? An illusion?

Recalling it, the panel seemed to be the status of his character in the "Doupo Continent" game. Could he have gone crazy thinking about the game too much?

No, no, he had to stop this. If he really had a problem, what would his mother do? Zhan Fei had never met his father, and his mother had never given him any information about him. But from her expression and tone, Zhan Fei could guess that the man hadn't died; he had abandoned Zhan Fei and his mother. His maternal grandparents had also advised his mother to abort him, but she refused and insisted on giving birth. As a result, Zhan Fei and his mother had little contact with her relatives.

Therefore, Zhan Fei could say that he had only his mother as a relative. So, whenever something happened, Zhan Fei always thought of his mother first. Considering the potential impact of the game, he immediately opened his laptop and uninstalled it.

Then, he silently recited "Namo Amitabha" and added a few "Hallelujahs," before closing his eyes again. The darkness in front of him made him feel a bit relieved. One second, two seconds, three seconds.

At the third second, the status panel reappeared. Zhan Fei's heart rate doubled. He recited "Prajna Paramita" a few more times, but it had no effect. Then, he opened his eyes, and the image disappeared again. He closed his eyes, and after three seconds, the status panel reappeared.

This time, Zhan Fei was almost certain that he wasn't sick, and the panel wasn't an illusion. Who had ever heard of an illusion appearing so regularly? Every time he closed his eyes for three seconds, it appeared. If he wasn't sick, then could it be some kind of superpower?

Zhan Fei was too ordinary at Bozhou Institute of Technology, unable to get even a "piece of meat." At this age, he was almost driven mad by the lack of action. Therefore, he was very interested in anything that could make him extraordinary. He then carefully examined the panel:

Character: Zhan Fei 001, HP: 60, MP: 120

Level: LV0, Class: Mystic

Strength: 5, Stamina: 4, Intelligence: 8, Agility: 5, Spirit: 6

Magic Attack/Defense: 40/30, Physical Attack/Defense: 10/8, Accuracy/Evasion: 10/10

Current Experience/Experience to Level Up: 0/30

Equipment: None

Indeed, this was his Mystic character in "Doupo Continent," but the level, which was originally 89, was now 0, and all attributes had returned to their original state. In "Doupo Continent," different combat classes had different attribute bonuses.

For Mystics, Intelligence and Spirit provided significant magical bonuses, while Strength, Agility, and Stamina provided fewer physical bonuses. In the game, Zhan Fei's character had points allocated in a 4 Intelligence and 1 Spirit pattern.

However, seeing his attributes, Zhan Fei felt like crying. The maximum value for each attribute was 10, and he was below average in all but Intelligence and Spirit. His Stamina was only 4, which was terrible. His Agility and Strength were only 5, which was below average for a normal person.

For a typical male, an average physical condition would be 6 in all attributes, 8 would be excellent, and 10 would be at the national athlete level. Anything above 10 would be like Bolt or Phelps, extraterrestrial beings.

Currently, Zhan Fei's only decent attribute was Intelligence. The others had regressed due to his long period of inactivity in college. He needed to start exercising more. After reviewing his attributes, Zhan Fei looked at other parts of the panel.

In the upper right corner was a "Shop" icon, which was the official shop of "Doupo Continent." It sold all kinds of items needed in the game, some of which could be bought with silver coins, and others with gold coins. On the right side of the status panel was an inventory with 30 slots, all empty.

Below the inventory, it listed the silver coins, silver tickets, gold coins, and gold tickets Zhan Fei owned. He had zero silver coins and gold coins, but the game had given him 100 silver tickets and 20 gold tickets. The difference was that silver coins and gold coins could be used to trade with other players, while silver tickets and gold tickets could only be used to trade with the game's official system, as they were bound.

However, it seemed that Zhan Fei was the only one playing the game in his mind, so there was no difference between silver coins and silver tickets for him.

After reviewing these, Zhan Fei's attention turned to the bottom of the status panel. There were five options: Quest System, Mount System, Spirit Beast System, Combat Class, and Life Skills. The Quest System was empty, and the Mount System and Spirit Beast System required level 30 to unlock, so they were grayed out and unclickable.

The Combat Class also required level 10 to unlock, so it was also unclickable. Only the Life Skills could be clicked. When he clicked it, a smile appeared on Zhan Fei's face. Without being able to fight monsters or have quests, how could he level up?

So, the Combat Class, Spirit Beast, and Mount Systems might not even exist. If the Life Skills were also unusable, then this character's possession would be of no help to him. Fortunately, the Life Skills were usable!
