Chapter 3 - 1: Starting Out with Only Underpants_2

"The Trial Taker has acquired the Innate Skill ’Memory of the Great Sage’!"Pain!

Pain!

My head hurts so much!

Hang Yu felt a vast memory formed from a torrent of information and experiences being stuffed into his mind like water force-fed into a duck, making him feel as if he were in an unending dream, possessing the body of a stranger.

He watched as this person destroyed one powerful Legendary Monster after another.

He watched as this person embarked on one bewildering adventure after another.

He watched as this person accomplished countless great miracles and feats.

Hang Yu experienced the epic life of a certain Great Sage, from weak to strong, from ignorance to wisdom, from obscurity to being revered by thousands, as if watching a movie, yet even more real.

He could not only experience the entire life journey of the Great Sage but also feel what he felt and know what he knew, completely immersing himself in it, an experience like never before.

A new world filled with legends and grandeur presented itself before his eyes.

In the past, countless mortal races had been chosen to participate in this game, where they obtained everything they desired, wealth, power, wisdom, and even immortality. A rare few even achieved divinity, becoming supreme and immortal true gods.

This world is called the Spirit Realm!

A world full of infinite possibilities.

A place bizarre and unpredictable.

Sixty or seventy billion humans have now been chosen to become the latest players of this game.

This world is about to change... Whether you’re the lofty billionaire or official, the stunning star or school belle, the scholar or professor admired by thousands.

Sorry, it no longer matters.

From the moment this game was launched.

Wealth, power, and status will lose all meaning here.

Billions of people will return to a relatively fair new starting point.

The Innate Skill "Memory of the Great Sage" Hang Yu drew seemed useless at first glance.

But it actually provided him with an abundance of knowledge and experience in advance, giving him a strange familiarity with a world he’d never seen before, naturally reducing his fear of the unknown, even inducing some excitement and anticipation.

Even the Great Sage in the dream couldn’t figure out who exactly created this game; such an existence has long surpassed mortal understanding.

This is not just a game, but a world.

From the moment the Gate of the Spirit Realm opens, the real world and the Spirit Realm will influence each other, and human society is destined to undergo a comprehensive impact, from individuals to society, from cultural forms to technological strength, everything will be reshuffled and reshaped, ushering in a new era from then on.

Can this still be considered a mobile game?

If it is.

It will be the craziest mobile game for the masses in history.

The Dominator prompted: "The Spirit Realm is opening!"

The temperature and gravity around changed rapidly, and when he reacted, he had already been sent to a primitive forest.

Hang Yu’s upper body was still bare.

Luckily, he was wearing a worn-out pair of shorts on his lower body.

"Hey, is this pair of shorts newbie equipment? Can’t they at least add a pair of shoes? Just shorts seem too sloppy!" Hang Yu touched his shorts, "And this style is really ugly."

It’s downright low to the point of explosion.

The Dominator’s aesthetic probably stayed in the era of the cavemen.

After complaining about the Spirit Realm Dominator, Hang Yu focused on the shorts, and information immediately fed back into his mind.

[Crude Shorts], Level 1, Gray Lower Grade Quality, Physical Defense +1, Durability 10 (requires one gray Crystal Stone to bring back to the real world)

Alright.

Starting with just a pair of shorts.

All equipment relies on combat?

Hang Yu was surprised to find some minor adjustments to his body.

The flabby belly due to lack of exercise now had long-desired six-pack abs.

His myopia over two hundred degrees and neck, shoulder, waist, and leg problems disappeared without a trace, his whole body empowered... It felt as if he’d been reborn from head to toe, soaring with delight!

"I didn’t realize I had so many problems. I thought I was quite healthy before."

Hang Yu speculated that regardless of being paralyzed or terminally ill in the real world, entering this game would cure you without medicine, whether you’re an obese couch potato or an elderly person on the brink of death, you’d regain normal physical fitness, which would be a huge blessing for many people.

Hang Yu closed his eyes and concentrated, summoning a directly retinal information frame, with three options presented: "Storage Space," "Personal Information," and "Spirit Realm Phone."

The storage space was about six or seven cubic meters.

Roughly the size of a small van.

Hang Yu chose to view Personal Information.

Level 1 Combat Professional

Life Energy 10.

Spiritual Power 10.

Spiritual Qi 0/50

Skills: Memory of the Great Sage (Innate Skill)

[Memory of the Great Sage], exclusive Innate Skill, with the blessing of the Great Sage, you have acquired all the wisdom and experience of the Great Sage, significantly speeding up skill cultivation.

Hang Yu then checked the Spirit Realm Phone option.

The Spirit Realm Phone displayed the home screen of a real-world phone.

Some functions and apps were modified for communication or recording purposes, with the once top option "Gate of the Spirit Realm" now turned into "Return to Reality" app icon.

However, the "Return to Reality" option was temporarily unavailable.

A progress bar was loading slowly, estimated to require completion before people could return to the real world... that’s basically the situation.

He started observing the surrounding environment.

This was a primitive forest, with tall trees and dense leaves, blocking the light, quite hot and humid, the ground covered with thick foliage, fresh leaves at the top while inner leaves had long decayed, obviously accumulated over years. The roots coiled around, and not far off was a toppled tree trunk, five people could barely hug around it, covered in thick, slippery moss.

No newbie village!

No buildings!

No NPC!

Frankly, apart from items having attribute data, there’s nothing that felt like being in a game.

From the soft feel of the grass and soil, the rustle of the wind in the forest, the fragrance of grass and trees in the air, to the warmth of the sunlight shining down... all told him everything was absolutely real.

Hang Yu used materials on hand to find a fairly sturdy stick as a temporary weapon.

But before he could properly refine the branch.

"Ah——!"

A sharp, piercing scream came from the forest ahead.

In his twenty-three years of life, Hang Yu had never heard such a sharp scream, like a chilling steel needle piercing the soul, making his scalp tingle and limbs cold - it was the desperate and painful scream of someone on the verge of death!

People living in civilized modern cities have almost forgotten such primal and instinctive fear.

A fear that only arises when truly facing death!

Now, suddenly hearing the chilling and brief scream made him shiver and panic from the soul.

The jungle swayed.

Four figures rushed out in succession.

Each face twisted with extreme fear, as if faced with the most terrifying thing in the world.

Among them, a bare-chested shorts-wearing uncle ran fastest, probably because he was tallest with the longest hairy legs, reaching Hang Yu first.

When he saw Hang Yu still standing there in a daze.

The hairy-legged uncle immediately screamed hysterically and concisely: "Run! There’s a monster!"
