“[Ding! Avatar creation completed. Please enter the avatar’s nickname!]”

“[Ding! Nickname: MO Guanji, entered.]”

“[Randomly allocating the newcomer village. Please be patient.]”

“[Newcomer Village: Tong County, allocation completed. Arrival in progress, current progress 17.]”

“[Current progress 100%, arrival complete!]”

Tong County, outside the city, the forest.

The new player who happened to arrive at this location, MO Guanji, opened his eyes.

He looked around. There were only around ten other players.

The Heavenly Dust Continent was so big, and there were so many starter villages. Having ten or so players dispersed in Tong County wasn’t bad at all.

MO Guanji observed his surroundings, his reaction similar to the other players, he was marveling at the realism of the game.

He casually picked up a few leaves from the ground. The leaf veins were clearly visible, and each was unique.

“Are the details really this precise?” MO Guanji exclaimed.

He gave a few hops and jumps here and there. The controls were impressive!

Then he was surprised to find that the guy next to him was doing the same thing.

They looked at each other and laughed. Neither of them thought the other was odd or strange.

Gamers rarely liked to walk normally. They preferred to hop around or roll on the ground.

This performance art was said to have originated many years ago, back before VR game pods existed. People played computer games and particularly liked pressing the jump and roll keys on the keyboard.

However, the two of them snorted at each other’s nicknames. “MO Guanji? What the hell! Is that some kind of vulgar joke?”

“Zhuo Houyi? Boy, you’re ambitious!”

“Heavenly Dust” differs from other games, they have strict rules. The names should be in a proper format, just like picking a name when you are born.

Names like “YourGrandpaOnHisDeathbed” and “GlareAtMeAndGetPregnant” are not allowed.

The game advocates that players immerse themselves in the world of the

Heavenly Dust Continent as if they were living in the real world. Having a

normal name is the first step to immerse one in the world.

Of course, don’t underestimate the creativity of silly players.

Isn’t there a guy with a similar nickname to that of MO Guanji’s? For whatever reason, he named himself “Li Wanji” and made his avatar a muscular man!

But the players aren’t hosts, so they don’t get fined for rhyming jokes, and these silly players find this kind of thing even funnier!

At this moment, most of the players that descended into Tong County were messing around. Hey, stop stripping! You’re going too far!

MO Guanji didn’t have such a wicked sense of humor. He was a detail-oriented person. He rubbed the rough linen clothing he was wearing. This sensation, there’s nothing quite like it!

“This game is way too mind-blowing! It feels like they’ve created an entire world from nothing! The level of realism and detail is insane!” MO Guanji shouted in his heart.

Many of the beta testers around him had already started to socialize. On the Internet, especially in games, even many people with social anxiety turn into social butterflies!

Zhuo Houyi took the initiative to strike up a conversation with MO Guanji. He said, “Bro, which guild are you from? Have you ever joined a professional club?

I’m from the Knights Guild.”

“Oh? A big guild player?” MO Guanji thought to himself.

While the Knights Guild might not be considered top-tier, they were definitely second-tier and not to be taken lightly.

MO Guanji smiled and said, “I’m not from a guild, and I haven’t joined any clubs. I’m just a lucky player.”

“Well, bro, you’re really a lucky koi, being able to stand out from so many players who wanted to participate in the beta test!” Zhuo Houyi didn’t look down on him even though he was an ordinary player.

Just as they were about to chat some more, everyone simultaneously received the first phase of the newbie quest!

“[Ding! Please follow the coordinates on your map and head to your allocated newbie village.]”

Zhuo Houyi laughed, “Bro, we got a mission! I guess once we get to the newbie village, there will be more newbie quests to do. Do you want to team up?”

He was quite straightforward and laid-back. Since there weren’t any people from his guild around, and he didn’t recognize any friends, he invited MO Guanji who was hopping around with him earlier and had an interesting name.

“Ah? No, no, I want to keep exploring here and see the sights,” MO Guanji waved his hand.

He was different from players in guilds and clubs. They had mandatory tasks from their guilds and clubs, they were basically scouts. Entering the game in its beta testing stage was to collect useful information and contribute to the development of their own guilds and clubs.

But he was just an outright gaming addict, purely enjoying the process of gaming.

He always saw games as another world, completely immersed in them, an extreme gaming addict, one that even Yang’s Thunder Electric Technology Co., Ltd. couldn’t save.

He thought the scenery in this small forest was beautiful, such beautiful nature was quite rare in the 22nd century, he wanted to see more of it, to wander around more.

He treated gaming as his life!

“Alright, see you around then, bro!” Zhuo Houyi began to follow the coordinates displayed on his map, heading towards Tong county.

As for MO Guanji, he was the only one among the crowd who didn’t rush to the newbie village immediately. Instead, he walked in the opposite direction, heading deeper into the forest.

As he walked, he exclaimed, “Oh my god, even this cobweb is so detailed, this game’s unbeatable!”

MO Guanji was exploring as if he had bought a ticket to the park, casually taking his time.

As he walked, he somehow ended up deeper into the forest and then he heard an unusual sound.

“What’s that sound? Why does it sound like metal colliding? That’s a bit… God damn!”

He saw two people dueling with swords, one attacking and retreating, the other persistently closing in.

With one glance, he saw their basic information.

The one chasing was wearing a mask, named Li Shan. His name was grey, and his title indicated that he was an assassin.

The man being chased was named Chen Yuntian. His name was also grey, with the title of Swordsman of Jianghu.

“Chen Yuntian, someone paid 200 silver pieces for your life, don’t resist, my sword is fast, I’ll make it quick!” said Li Shan loudly.

Chen Yuntian didn’t respond, he fought while retreating, and then both men noticed MO Guanji, who was frozen in place.

Knowing that he was no match for Li Shan, and being no saint himself, Chen Yuntian quickly ran towards MO Guanji and shoved him towards Li Shan to buy himself some time and an opportunity.

“Holy shit!! MO Guanji cursed, staring helplessly as he was about to collide with Li Shan’s sword.

Was this going to be the end of his precious ‘virgin status’? Would he die here for no reason at all?

Just at this moment, MO Guanji wasn’t sure if he was hallucinating, but he saw a man in a black robe.

The man was amazingly fast. Neither Chen Yuntian nor Li Shan had time to react.

The man in the black robe raised his right hand and casually made a stroke in the air. The longswords in Li Shan and Chen Yuntian’s hands were knocked away, flying back!

“Fuck… Fuck… Awesome!”

(PS: Just a reminder, this book will be available on November 1st, which is next Friday. After that, I’ll keep adding updates. I have a feeling that November will be the month when I completely break away from being known as “short”..)
