CHAPTER 455: CHAPTER 162: CURRENCY SYSTEM, REAL-WORLD DEATH

"Yes."

Immediately, a guild option appeared on the function panel.

Upon opening it, you could see the names of all the members of the Child Group, along with the Star Vein Combination and Life Soul Level displayed to the right of the names.

As they waited, ripples appeared on the Teleportation Array ahead, and figures began to emerge from the swirling vortex of space.

At the forefront was a warrior clad in Red Flame Battle Armor, his armor appearing to flow with molten lava.

Following behind were Magic players, all uniformly dressed in deep blue Star Robes, embossed with golden Runes that occasionally shimmered with a faint light. Threads of sparkling Energy emanated from them, like mist surrounding their bodies.

The newcomers were indeed the brothers from the Child Group.

Tong Xin glanced at his own Black Cloth Clothes and compared them to the dazzling outfits of his brothers, his eyes filled with envy.

"Hahaha, director, you look so weak."

"Hey, newbie, bow down when you see us old players, or beware of us blockading your door and killing you."

"Director, do you believe I could crush you with just a little finger, hehe."

Faced with his brothers’ teasing, Tong Xin decisively flipped them the middle finger in response:

"Don’t be so smug, just because you entered the game a few days earlier than me. Hurry up and take me to level up."

"Let’s go, let the Godfather Team take you flying." Tie Chui stepped forward and threw an arm around Tong Xin’s neck.

Tong Xin tried to struggle, only to realize that his Strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of Tie Chui; even with all his might, he couldn’t budge him:

"Damn, you’re really strong."

"No kidding, my Main Life Soul is already at Level 48. I could take on a thousand newbies like you."

Just as they were joking around and preparing to leave the space, heading to the Frost Winter Snow Region for Hunting, other newbie players in Black Cloth Clothes around them started to flock over:

"Big brother, I just heard you talk about leveling up, can you take me with you?"

"Bro, since you’re leveling up, one more wouldn’t hurt, take me too."

"Big brother, please take me along, I can pay 100 credit points per hour."

Faced with the pleading requests of nearby newbie players, Tie Chui decisively chose to ignore them.

The director was a long-time close brother of theirs, and their core member in previous games. While they often teased each other, their bond was strong.

But they didn’t have any emotional basis with the newbie players from other races, so they couldn’t care less.

As they stepped out of the Newbie Village space, the cold air struck, causing Tong Xin to shiver uncontrollably. Following his brothers’ advice, he immediately switched to stone-statue ghost form, which instantly boosted his attributes, reducing the cold.

The scene before him was one of heavy snowfall, with the world blanketed in a white veil.

A grey sky shed countless white snowflakes, and the howling wind whipped up the white flakes, dancing wildly in the air.

The distant mountains and nearby trees were draped in thick, silvery garb.

The realism of the scene made Tong Xin exclaim in wonder:

"The modeling realism is insane!"

"What’s even more insane is what’s next. The most fun part of this game isn’t just sightseeing, at least not for us. The real fun is this."

As he spoke, Tie Chui crouched slightly, muscles tensing, then suddenly kicked off the ground with both feet.

The ground trembled lightly as snowflakes scattered, and his body soared into the air like an arrow off the string.

After flying more than ten meters, Tie Chui landed steadily, sending up a spray of snow, his knees slightly bent to absorb the impact. Then he stood upright, like an unshakable mountain.

Having shown off, Tie Chui turned his head to look at the envious Tong Xin:

"Director, this is what I find most fun: the superhuman experience brought by attribute enhancement."

"Showing off is shameful, quickly take me to level up."

After hearing Tie Chui’s introduction, Tong Xin couldn’t help but roll his eyes, yet within, he was filled with anticipation for leveling up.

He could imagine how joyful the attribute enhancement described by Tie Chui would be.

A superhuman experience, which only existed in fantasies, could become reality in this game.

Braving the howling cold wind, he followed his brothers, continuously searching, and at the edge of the map’s Mist Zone, they found a solitary Monster.

It was small, only reaching Tong Xin’s knee, its body covered in fine grey translucent fur, like an ugly version of a little wild boar.

At this moment, Tong Xin activated his Analysis Ability, and related information immediately surfaced in his mind:

[Hui Gu]:

Hunting Level: 1.

Monster Analysis: A unique low-level Monster in the Frost Winter Snow Region, and one of the most common Monster types. Although weak, Hui Gu will enter a Fury State and launch a fearless attack when its Life is threatened.

After reading the analysis, Tong Xin was immediately interested:

"Hold on, don’t take action. Let me handle this one. It’s boring to just be an experience accessory after coming into the game. Let me try the combat feedback."

Hearing Tong Xin’s words, the players from the Child Group exchanged glances and smiled.

A Level 1 Monster appeared weak, yet wasn’t easy to deal with for initial players.

Back when they first entered the game, they also hunted Curse Soldiers.

At this moment, Tong Xin lunged at Hui Gu, and in stone-statue ghost form, his claws slammed at Hui Gu’s head.

The forceful blow made Hui Gu jump on the spot, a noticeable bulge forming on its head, the scalp surface reddening, with a hint of bluish-purple on the edges, like blood collecting under the skin.

Though it was only an inconsequential Level 1 Monster, the changes to its head upon being attacked amazed Tong Xin.

The level of detail in the creation was indeed perfect.

He could even see the process of the bump forming in detail.

After landing, Hui Gu suddenly twisted its head to glare at Tong Xin, its skin turning red as it entered a Fury State.
