Chapter 1: The Extremely Unfriendly World of Beginners

Strength: 4 (related to physical attack power, load capacity, etc.)

10%, 20%, ..., 100%, transmission complete, detected significant damage to the body of the preparatory contractor, activating repair function, this repair is free

... ...

The contractor has entered the novice world: Ancient Forest

Is this the novice world? I can already feel the overwhelming malice in this world

Warning: Semi-datafication serves as an auxiliary combat capability. If vital organs such as the heart and brain are damaged, the contractor will still die directly

[Note: The novice world is a 'non-killing world'; defeating other contractors will not drop the [Crimson Key].

Contractors can view tasks, their own status, equipment skills, and utilize storage space by activating the spatial imprint (time and space are static within the storage space, which currently measures 1 cubic meter and can be expanded by increasing the contractor's level)

The contract has been successfully signed, and the spatial imprint has been formed

Bloodline: Human Race

Note: The standard attribute for adult males is 5 points, and the luck attribute is 1 point

After signing the contract, can I still return to the real world

Task Overview: Survive in the forest for 7 days

The preparatory contractor has died in reality, and the space has pulled the preparatory contractor into a designated room. After signing the contract, they may continue to exist within the space.

Task Difficulty: LV4

At this moment, the screen changed, displaying a scene: a car that suddenly lost control surged onto the sidewalk, striking the strolling Qin Mu from behind.

Number of contractors entering: 20

Luck: 1 (related to obtaining, crafting, using items, etc., this attribute is extremely difficult to enhance)

As she scanned the content displayed on the screen, her gaze fell upon the warning highlighted in blood red at the bottom. A chill ran through Qin Mu's heart, and she quickly looked around, assessing whether any beasts had appeared outside the light membrane.

The space has detected that you have awakened, please sign the contract immediately to become a contractor

Accompanied by a prompt sound, a translucent screen reappears before me

The following content cannot be viewed due to insufficient permissions

Upon viewing personal information, the content on the screen immediately transformed into specific data

Where is this? Qin Mu needs to confirm the current situation

"I would like to know what a contractor is?" Qin Mu inquired, recalling similar storylines.

Qin Mu looked at the newly formed mark on his body, resembling a black tattoo etched onto his skin. The central design was a bizarre eye pattern, with radiating lines surrounding the eye forming a circle at the outermost edge

If there are no other issues, please sign the contract immediately at https://www.hetushu.com

[Protection countdown, 10, 9......]

Warning: The central forest area is a high-risk zone, populated by extraordinary creatures. This teleportation is random.

Qin Mu made a choice and reached for the scroll, suddenly feeling a sharp pain. When he withdrew his hand, he saw a blood-red mark left on the scroll.

Qin Mu rubbed his temples, the sound of flowing water ringing in his ears. Upon opening his eyes, he found himself standing beside a pool of water, not far away from a dense forest, with a layer of light membrane protecting him.

Cannot

The contractor is about to enter a random novice world, please be prepared. Upon completing this survival task, the contractor will obtain formal qualifications, receive a contractor number, and gain the right to use various facilities within the space.

Hiss, this transmission is quite powerful

The number of responses has been exhausted

At that moment, Qin Mu, who was staring at the prompt, saw the number indicating the number of contractors instantly change to 16

Signing

Level: LV1 (First Order) (Every 10 levels constitutes a new order, and level increases do not provide any attribute bonuses. This level represents the contractor's authority within the space, and upgrades are influenced by factors such as world difficulty and task difficulty)

Alright, I understand now. Please close https://m.hetushu.com quickly, thank you

Intelligence: 7 (related to spell damage, mana, perception, etc)

World Overview: Towering giant trees, clear rivers, playful beasts; this is a dense primeval forest. Beneath this vibrant scene lies the survival law of the jungle, where the weak are preyed upon by the strong. The omnipresent danger has given rise to various top predators. Here, will you be the hunter or the hunted

At this moment, a complex circular pattern appeared at the center of the scroll, imprinting itself onto the back of Qin Mu's right hand.

Hey, hey, hey! Wait! Give me some time to prepare mentally before..." Qin Mu was dazzled by the rapidly popping notifications on the screen, and before she could finish her sentence, she felt a darkness envelop her.

Agility: 5 (related to movement, reaction, attack speed, etc)

After a silence of 3 seconds, Qin Mu took a deep breath, raised his head to gaze at the sky obscured by a vast expanse of trees, and exclaimed, "This damned place is truly a pitfall!"

Qin Mu could not help but cover his face as he watched the scene before him, which was currently being enhanced with slow motion and close-ups of the moment he was knocked away.

Accompanied by the sound of a notification that rang out again, Qin Mu, now fully awake, noticed a semi-transparent screen appearing beside him. A prompt popped up on it, and at the same time, a leather scroll materialized before him

... ...

Confirming that https://www.hetushu.com is temporarily safe, Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief. He picked up a suitable stone from the ground and couldn't help but glance at the screen once more

Name: Qin Mu

Unexpected Death

Whether to sign the contract? If the contract is refused, the preparatory contractor will lose their eligibility for survival

Main quest: Survival

Indeed, just as I guessed. However, the name of this space is quite arbitrary; who came up with it? Such poor taste. Qin Mu silently criticized in his heart and then continued to ask: "Why am I here?"

The view here is relatively open, with stones lining the edge of the pond, leaving little room for concealment

The playback of the death record has concluded

At the top of the screen, there are several options: Personal Information, Tasks, Skills, Talents, Equipment, Titles, and Storage Space. At this moment, all options except for Personal Information are grayed out and not viewable.

Charm: 5 (related to socializing, summoning, etc.)

Mysterious Space

Qin Mu activated the imprint with his consciousness, and a new screen appeared before him, displaying a projection of his own image

The protection time has ended, and the adventure begins

After adapting to the light for a moment, Qin Mu finally opened his eyes again and clearly saw the surroundings. This was a closed, blank space, empty all around, and apart from the occasional prompt sounds, it was quiet enough to clearly hear his own breathing and heartbeat.

The emotionless voice entered his ears, and Qin Mu gradually regained consciousness. Struggling against a strong sense of dizziness, he laboriously opened his eyes, only to be pierced by a blinding white light that made him tear up, forcing him to close them again.

"The clichéd opening plot, along with the projection screens and scrolls that do not exist in reality, gives one a rather ominous feeling," Qin Mu murmured, his eyes cast down.

Health: 100% (Stamina × 10 + 50 Base Health, this attribute is expressed as a percentage during combat and changes according to the degree of injury)

Constitution: 5 (related to health points, defense, resistance to abnormal states, etc.)

Mana: 70 (Intelligence × 10, with the current mana recovery rate of 5 points per hour)

[Body transmission in progress ... ... ]

In the main world, beings possessing the characteristic of 'penetration' can enter into a contract with space to become contractors. The mysterious space and the contractors share a 'symbiotic' relationship, where contractors explore other worlds, obtain the source of the world, and exchange it for resources from space. The mysterious space, in turn, requires the source of the world for its evolution and to maintain the normal operation of the mysterious space

The random world has been determined, teleportation will begin in 5, 4, 3......

To intuitively demonstrate the comprehensive capabilities of the contractor, initiate semi-data-driven methods

World Difficulty: LV1 - LV8

With the final prompt appearing, the protective film disappears
