5: Overcrowded beginner village

"Purchase!"

[Ding, congratulations on purchasing 'Talent: Im Really Not a GM!', 200 years of extra lifespan deducted, 431 years remaining!]

Xu Shian looked at his three major talents with satisfaction.

With this kind of initial configuration to get by in "myriad realms online", he should be able to make a name for himself, right?

He checked the Time; there were five minutes left until the arrival of the myriad realms online game.

Looking at the 431 years of remaining extra lifespan, Xu Shian thought about it and decided to just buy all of it as original body lifespan!

extra lifespan is very useful; it counts as a high-level currency.

However, its scope of application is a bit narrow...

For example, everyone only has six active skill slots.

What if you learn the wrong skill?

It doesn't matter; according to the level of the skill, you can use extra lifespan to 'wash away' this skill!

For instance, if you learned Fireball in the Novice Village, but as you played, you reached the main city and wanted to change class to a Thief?

Changing class to a Thief requires learning a series of prerequisite skills! And there are hard requirements for attribute points.

What do you do with that extra Fireball skill now?

Simple, pay extra lifespan and reset your points at the skill mentor in the main city.

A level one Fireball costs one year of extra lifespan, a level two Fireball is two years... The same logic applies to other skill slots.

Feel that Herbalism and Alchemy aren't suitable for you?

Use extra lifespan to wash them away and learn again?

What if you don't have extra lifespan? Go fight monsters, go complete achievements...

extra lifespan can be exchanged for original body lifespan at the Fate Merchant in the main city, but original body lifespan cannot be used to pay costs, nor can it be exchanged back into extra lifespan! It can only be consumed over Time!

Secondly, when changing to a hidden class, a unique class, or similar, you also need to pay a certain amount of extra lifespan to change class!

According to Hu Zhihao, life... no one can complain about it being too long!

But these 431 years of extra lifespan are just not cost-effective left here!

You basically won't need that much extra lifespan in the early stages, so why not exchange it for original body lifespan?

Sounds reliable!

[Ding, congratulations on purchasing 200 years of original body lifespan, 400 years of extra lifespan have been deducted, 31 years remaining.]

Feels good!

The 'money' is all spent!

As they say, 'Money spent, peace of mind attained!'

With so much 'money' in his pocket, it just felt wrong not to spend it!

Opening Xu Shian's personal panel, it had changed significantly!

Days spent watching the clock waiting for Time are the longest!

The remaining six minutes felt longer to Xu Shian than the previous twenty-four minutes combined.

[Ding, World Announcement: myriad realms online has descended upon Blue Star. All Blue Star players will be teleported into myriad realms online in ten seconds! Novice Villages will be assigned based on the region where you are located!]

[Ding, World Announcement: myriad realms online has descended upon Blue Star. All Blue Star players will be in...]

With a flash of light, Xu Shian appeared in a huge plaza.

A series of notification sounds rang in Xu Shian's mind!

It was so noisy it made his scalp tingle.

He took a rough look around and was a bit surprised. Why was there no one?

Such a large plaza, and Xu Shian happened to be right in the center...

No...

Realizing that players were likely busy creating characters and drawing talents, then thinking about Xu Shian's current position...

He quickly distinguished the direction and ran towards the perimeter.

Must run!

If he didn't run, it would be bad!

After the first person appeared in the center of the plaza, subsequent people quickly appeared on the plaza!

Xu Shian had already run to the edge of the plaza, but he bumped into a fleshy body!

"Who the hell dares to bump into me? Trying to take advantage of me?"

Taking advantage of the other person being dizzy, Xu Shian quickly adjusted his direction, pretending it wasn't him!

Thinking about the other person's nearly 300-pound figure, and the face with features squeezed together by fat... he felt a bit like vomiting!

In an instant, the surroundings were clamorous.

"What's the situation? I was just eating dinner at home..."

"Actually entered the game? I wasn't prepared yet!"

"I paid off twenty years of mortgage! Just finished paying it off, and now it's a nationwide game?"

"Don't push me? Let me out..."

"Who touched my butt? Come here and die!"

"Alright, you're so fat, who would be so desperate to want to touch you?"

"Where's my battle robe? My newly bought Balenciaga battle robe? Why did it change into coarse cloth clothes?"

"Mom, Mom, where are you?"

"Xiao Jun, I'm here, your dad is here too!"

"Thank goodness, our family wasn't separated..."

The noisy plaza was simply unwatchable!

Because he couldn't run out in one breath just now, Xu Shian was now struggling to squeeze towards the perimeter!

He didn't want to have intimate contact with these people here, especially with a mountain of flesh next to him...

In just this short while, he felt a bit out of breath!

Besides, it would be better if everyone around him were beauties!

Unfortunately, this "myriad realms online" doesn't let you use beauty filters...

There are millions of beauties in the world, turn off the beauty filter and half are gone!

?

Maybe it's 99% gone?

Opening the mini-map, he was already at the edge of the plaza!

Fortunately, the people on the side saw the situation inside and started to scatter into the village one after another!

"Don't run! Who bumped into me just now? If you don't come out, I'll go to the forum and spam about you..."

Xu Shian was stunned. You adapted to the game pretty quickly?

Xu Shian ignored her and followed the crowd slowly out of the plaza!

As for those people in the center?

It will probably take a while to disperse!

It's a case of waking up early to catch the late market!

After all, people were deployed into the Novice Village by region, and when people encounter sudden changes, their first thought is to huddle together.

Therefore, after walking out of the plaza where the players descended, many players started calling friends to find acquaintances to form a party!

These people obviously still need some Time to adapt to this sudden change!

Xu Shian doesn't need it!

He was already traumatized from being squeezed earlier, so now he needs to hurry and find the novice tutorial quests, finish them, and get out of the village!
