Chapter 1, The Village Chief and the Captain

Wuxin took a look, and indeed there was an additional token resembling a ticket in the package. The information on it read: Beginner Ship, Identity: Passenger. Quantity of Goods Carried: One Basket

Passengers cannot participate in combat on the ship or at sea. If the ship sinks, the passengers will die, lose a level, and the cargo will be lost. The village chief introduced: "The primary profession on the ship is the captain; as long as there is a captain, the ship can sail. The available professions include two gunners, a lookout, a first mate, a doctor, a carpenter, and so on. There is also a relatively special profession called sailor, which occupies a passenger slot, cannot carry cargo, but can participate in the ship's combat. Sailors can purchase NPC sailors or be played by players. The choice of profession can be made in the next village. If one regrets the choice in the future, they can spend money to wash away the profession skills and change professions.

What tools are used for gaming, a helmet? A wellness pod? Or perhaps glasses? Of course, it is glasses, as they are lighter. Although the helmet is not heavy, no one wants to be misunderstood as riding a motorcycle in bed. Therefore, our virtual tool is glasses! Wu Xin sighed at the glasses and felt frustrated with the books; this is the luxury version he ordered over three months ago, reminiscing about the past...

The game will officially start tomorrow morning, and the standard version is also available on the market. What are the differences between the standard version and the deluxe version? Wu Xin believes that the first difference is that the deluxe version is definitely more expensive. The second difference is that the deluxe version is a globally limited edition. The term "globally limited" is quite common in modern life; some items that are considered luxury brands are intentionally sold in limited quantities by merchants, such as handbags, necklaces, and other items. This caters to the vanity of the wealthy, as it is known that a Dragon Slayer costs over 10,000, and two Dragon Slayers together can cost several thousand.

It is said that the deluxe version is more comfortable.

Do not delude yourself into thinking that the deluxe version is exceptionally powerful, as the game's operation is controlled by a supercomputer. No one can cheat or be tripped by a divine artifact while walking, unless you undergo plastic surgery to impersonate the supercomputer's third nephew.

The phrase "The Age of Discovery" appears, which is part of the opening animation that everyone must appreciate and cannot skip by pressing ESC. In the lower left corner of the grand animation is a room surveillance monitor. This monitor is primarily used to protect players on www.hetushucom.com from incidents such as fire or theft. Without such a surveillance system, if a thief were to break in, you would still be engrossed in the intense PK of the game. By the way, let me express my disdain: who lacks public morality to use such underhanded tactics.

Registration requires only two pieces of information: the first is the name, as one must have a designation, even if it is something like "A Dog" or "A Cat." This consideration led to the name "Shepherd" for Wuxin. Why this name? The reason is quite simple: Wuxin has a sworn enemy whose surname is Yang, and who happens to be a sheep, with the given name Yang. Wuxin is of good character and, of course, would not register a name like "Sheep Slayer." While others may slay dragons, slaying sheep is too lowly and would invite ridicule for lacking culture.

In the evening, Wu Xin casually prepared some food in the kitchen, and the two engaged in an in-depth discussion at the dining table about game names and game content. After the discussion, Bai Wen put on his gaming glasses and left for the hospital, as he was on night shift today

After registration, it is time to adjust the appearance, starting with the color of the novice outfit. A tank top paired with shorts is the standard novice gear, and it serves as a powerful weapon against prying eyes, providing a defense rate of one hundred percent against unwanted gazes. Wu Xin chose a black set; why? This is a matter of personal preference, so there is no need to ask why. If he had chosen pink, then it would indeed warrant a question. ... Hmm ... This is a matter of personal preference, so there is no need to ask why. If he had chosen pink, then it would indeed warrant a question. ... Hmm ... So for now, there is no need to ask.

Bai Wen's house has a layout of three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, two bathrooms, one study, and one balcony, covering an area of 150 square meters. Wu Xin is not visiting for the first time, nor is it his first stay; he skillfully finds his old room. Although the room is the smallest, it is the quietest among the three.

At the invitation of the village chief, everyone received free goods in the novice village, and then all boarded the ship. The village chief turned the helm a few times, and the ship set sail. Wu Xin glanced over and noticed that the operation method resembled that of a manual transmission car.

Hello everyone, I am the village chief of the novice village No. 8888. An old man... ? Why is the village chief usually an old man, and not an old woman? This point need not be delved into, after all, God could also be black. The village chief stood at the bow of a large ship at the novice village dock and said: "Our village has special products, cotton, coal, embroidery needles... At the commodity trading market, everyone can take some products, free of charge... Then follow me onto the ship, our destination is the southern part of the novice village and the upper village of books"

Having finished watching the animation, the next step, which cannot be skipped, is registration

Twelve o'clock finally arrived. After putting on the glasses, Wu Xin saw a line of 3D nonsense: "Do you want to enter the game?" Wu Xin couldn't help but reply, "Do you really think it's possible that I have the wrong glasses?"

After completing everything, Wu Xin appeared in the novice village. With experience in online games, Wu Xin immediately began to explore the system upon entering the game. Upon inspection, Wu Xin understood why everyone in the novice village had the same expression: stunned! Why were they stunned? Because this game surprisingly lacked basic attribute bars such as strength and intelligence. If there were any, there was only a life attribute and a character level. The equipment was relatively abundant, including clothes, belts, shoes, bracers, gloves, necklaces, and rings. The weapon equipment section had two slots, one labeled main weapon and the other labeled secondary weapon.

Do not say that Wu Xin loves to play; Bai Wen also plays games. However, Bai Wen has no affection for typical online games; he dislikes games that are foolishly simplistic, where one fights monsters to level up, then fights more monsters, and levels up again. Alternatively, there are endless daily tasks, dungeon quests, routine missions, and daily activities. Or, it is a matter of having money to travel the world, while lacking money makes one unable to move an inch. Nevertheless, Bai Wen does possess these glasses, which he purchased together with Wu Xin in a luxury version. Bai Wen does have certain expectations for this game, which boasts nearly a hundred percent virtual reality. Additionally, it is worth mentioning another benefit of virtual games: they can substitute for some sleep, help relax the mind, and alleviate physical fatigue.

Next is the selection of the city of birth. The system prompts that Chinese players have four city options: Dalian, Quanzhou, Hangzhou, and Hainan. Wuxin chose Hangzhou, as it is relatively close to the city where he resides.

Next comes the matter of appearance, commonly known as cosmetic surgery. Wu Xin has very low standards regarding looks, and therefore has never considered his face to be an obstacle to the smooth progress of urban development work. In fact, Wu Xin has a decent appearance; he is just a bit dark-skinned, with well-developed and evenly distributed muscles, and a rounded backside, which definitely qualifies him to be a gigolo

He said to take it, of course take it. Wu Xin looked at the 'Qian Kun Bag', which had plenty of space, but special items were specifically designated. The village chief introduced: "You can only carry one main weapon and one secondary weapon. For now, let's not plan on anything else. I am the captain of this ship, and the new ship has a carrying capacity of five hundred baskets. You happen to be five hundred people, so each of you can carry one basket of goods"
