Chapter 2, Beginner's Gift Pack
Repeating the same words four times in a row is truly troublesome. Therefore, all you newcomers, listen carefully. What I am about to say will only be expressed in four languages, once each. It is best if you understand; if you do not, I will not explain further. Moreover, I will not be responsible for anything that happens afterward. Make sure you all understand, it is anything at all. Also, you can only listen to me and cannot ask me any questions, do you understand... Also, you can only listen to me and cannot ask me any questions, do you understand...
The first to discover the secret of the magic stone and to read the hidden information within it was the beautiful girl, Lan Zhan.
Therefore, this can no longer be explained by existing common knowledge

During this time, the woman had already begun her explanation. She walked over to the black sphere and gently tapped it. Instantly, the black sphere opened up on both sides, revealing two rows of shelves, each holding three black metal briefcases.
Li Lin raised his head and casually glanced at others, discovering that most people were observing the U.S. dollars and passports inside the box. A small number of individuals were also holding some peculiar items. Additionally, Li Lin noticed that... there was even someone holding a shiny silver revolver in their hand
The woman shook her head and then said, "Fortunately, my professional title level as a 'teacher' has improved, so I no longer need to find ways to scare you... You little brat, be quiet and settle down for a while."
Wow, why is the interval for this transmission so short? Newcomers are arriving so quickly again, " Lan Zhan said curiously.
Oh my, I seem to sense that there are words within this stone... What?... "Basic Language Skill Stone"... Passive skill, allowing you to master any two of the following seven languages: Chinese, English, Japanese, Russian, French, German, and Arabic
Everyone, following his words, tightly gripped the stones in their hands, including the American youth who had already regained his human form. The stones in their hands instantly transformed into particles of light, flying towards their respective bodies. Subsequently, expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces. ... They were all muttering something to themselves, and some even took the initiative to communicate with those around them in the newly acquired language. The language barrier that had troubled everyone was unexpectedly resolved by such a small piece of stone.
The only exception was Liling, who also held the stone in his hand. However, instead of crushing it directly, he wore a contemplative expression on his face
Everyone followed her instructions and stepped forward, indeed finding their respective boxes. Li Lin took her box aside and quickly found an American passport inside, featuring her photo and forged information, along with approximately 10,000 US dollars in cash and a large number of clothes, predominantly in the hip-hop style favored by young Europeans, as well as some formal attire. Additionally, in the left corner of the box's inner compartment, Li Lin discovered a flat stone the size of an egg and a sports wristband bearing the "Li Ning" brand logo. These two items were placed separately, seemingly with some differences.
Alright, I have said everything I needed to say. Anyone who wishes to experience the feeling of transforming from a human into a beast is welcome to give me that opportunity. To be honest, being able to freely unleash such incredibly exhilarating and shameless skills is also a very enjoyable and satisfying experience for a seasoned player like me
You all come over; on the lid of one of these boxes, there should be your name. You need to pick it out and open it. Then it will be your turn to test your luck. This 'Beginner's Gift Pack' is largely related to your fate in the coming period. Also, do not attempt to take someone else's box; this item has an identification system, and only your own can be opened.
This newly emerged couple of newlyweds clearly does not exhibit the calm demeanor previously displayed by Liling. Especially the bride, who, without a word, first let out a high-pitched scream. It was only after the groom held her tightly in his arms and comforted her in various ways that she gradually began to calm down. However, this calmness is evidently limited to the surface.
Once this figure fully took shape, it revealed the image of a kind and approachable middle-aged woman. She first glanced around and then let out a hearty and warm laugh, saying in a sweet voice: "It seems that all the newcomers have arrived this time."
Alright, everyone has already looked at their beginner gifts, right... Now, listen to me. Cash and passports, along with some ordinary clothing, are items that everyone should have. Just keep them safe. What I am about to say is crucial, so please pay close attention. You should find at least one stone in your boxes, correct? Yes, the one you are holding in your hand. Pick it up, hold it tightly, and focus your attention on the stone. See what happens...
Indeed, this item is a crucial wealth tool that will accompany your fate in the future... the magic stone. What you have in your possession should be the 'skill stone,' one of the essential items included in the 'newbie gift package.' It allows you to directly master one of the most important basic skills required for struggling in the cycle of the illusionary space, which is language. Choose the language you need, and then firmly grasp this stone; it will enable you to instantly master at least two foreign languages without the need for arduous study. A friendly reminder for you: in your future days, English, Chinese, and Japanese are all very important languages, so please prioritize learning them. Furthermore, I will only communicate with you in Chinese from now on.
The newly appeared woman spoke, seemingly unfazed by the strange scene before her. She first expressed her words in Chinese, then repeated them in Japanese, English, and German... until everyone present could understand her meaning... At that moment, all eyes were focused on her, and there was a glimmer of anticipation in their gazes, a hope for answers, a yearning to know the truth.
It was that stone from hetushu.com. Lin took it in his hand and immediately felt a strange sensation, as if this stone were a part of his own body, capable of merging with him.
"Bitch, you brought us all here, and you just want to brush it off like this? Let me tell you, if you don't give me a clear explanation, I'll cut off your head and shove it up your ass!" The flamboyantly dressed American youth finally found someone he could communicate with, and the pent-up anxiety and anger erupted completely. A barrage of rapid-fire American-style profanity immediately filled the air. The pent-up anxiety and anger erupted completely. A barrage of rapid-fire American-style profanity immediately filled the air.
At that moment, the black sphere emitted a light similar to a laser scan once again, and a delicate female figure gradually took shape
There is nothing particularly strange about passports and US dollars; one can only say that if this is a game, then the organizers have indeed invested a considerable amount of resources.
The woman lowered her head and let out a long sigh, her face displaying an expression of utter frustration. She complained, "Is the Lord God doing this on purpose? Why is it that every time, I end up with one or two brainless troublemakers? In this day and age, being a novice mentor is truly not an easy task..."
The room fell silent all at once; after all, if one does not have any particular hobbies, no one would want to become a little sheep, bleating on the ground while spinning in circles. Moreover, looking at this "sheep" with tear-filled eyes and an expression of sheer terror, it is evident that it has not lost its human consciousness; it simply cannot control its own body.
Who, who can tell me where my new wife and I are right now? Are you kidnappers? If you are looking for a ransom, I can call home right now...
Li Lin nodded slightly. Although he still did not fully understand what had happened, he at least realized one thing: the current situation had definitely exceeded the realm of ordinary understanding. A few individuals from different corners of the Earth had arrived in a seemingly ordinary room, which was, however, imbued with an unusual atmosphere, through a method known as "transdimensional teleportation".
Moreover, what is even more difficult to explain is that he is well aware that he has already died once. The sensation of flames scorching his body is still vividly retained in Lin's memory. His mind has always been clear, and he has also conducted research on hallucinogenic substances, which assures him that he is not experiencing any illusions; everything he sees before him can be guaranteed to be real
In the next moment, an astonishing event occurred. The woman pointed her finger at the American troublemaker, and to everyone's surprise, he began to shrink in an instant, transforming into a cute little sheep the size of a bench, bleating softly.
The tall and handsome groom spoke in authentic German, but unfortunately, among the few "pioneers" present, only Liling could understand him. The others displayed expressions of confusion at the groom's words; however, Liling himself was also unclear about the current situation, so he did not respond to the groom's question
"Where are these people from? It's neither English nor French; could it be Italian? Or is it German?" The beautiful girl beside Liling, Lan Zhan, clearly did not understand German and could only whisper in Liling's ear: "There was a Japanese person before, then an American came, and now two Europeans have arrived. Fortunately, there's you; otherwise, I wouldn't know who to talk to."
