Chapter 2: Spring Sunshine Melts Snow

  "Ding Dong!"

  "Your choice is a martial arts world - 'The Return of the Condor Hero'."

  "Special Note: Once you confirm your selection, you will not be able to make any changes. Are you sure you want to enter the world of 'The Return of the Condor Hero'? If yes, please select 'Yes', if no, please select 'No', and you will be able to make another choice."

  The sound effects seemed to come from outer space, clear but with a mechanical rhythm, making Wu Ming feel like he was in a dream, yet it felt real, as if he was in a game world.

  Having experienced being abandoned by his parents and suffering from illness since childhood, Wu Ming learned to face everything with strength and optimism.

  It is said that life is like a play, Wu Ming quickly put aside his fear of death and instead developed curiosity and fantasy about this new and strange world.

  As for his previous choice, Wu Ming had already made up his mind and would not change it again.

  Wu Ming nodded and replied firmly: "Confirmed and affirmative, I choose 'yes'."

  "Ding Dong!"

  "You have confirmed entry into the world of 'The Return of the Condor Hero'. The 'Book Immortal System' is constructing a brand new world of 'The Return of the Condor Hero' for you, based on your understanding and memory of the original novel. In thirty seconds, this new world will officially open for you."

  When the mechanical voice sounded again, a flash of light flashed through Wu Ming's mind, and his memory seemed to be extracted in an instant. At the same time, a 30-second countdown timer appeared inexplicably.

  “29~！”

  “28~！”

  ……

  “3~！”

  “2~！”

  “1~！”

  "Ding Dong!"

  "Congratulations, the brand new 'Jade Eagle Companion' world has been built. As you are entering the martial arts world in a book for the first time, the Book Spirit System will gift you an extraordinary martial arts secret manual to help you navigate the world in the book. Please select any number between 0 and 9 to draw your initial martial arts skill."

  Wow, and they're even giving away a legendary martial arts manual? It's like a pie falling from the sky.

  Wu Ming likes to play games, and after listening, he is extremely excited. According to the system's meaning, these secret skills may not necessarily be from "The Legend of the Condor Hero", but also possibly from other martial arts novels' unparalleled divine skills.

  If you learn the "Nine Suns Divine Skill" and "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" from The Legend of Condor Hero, or the "Six Meridians Divine Sword" and "North Ming Divine Skill" from Dragon Tiger Gate, or other martial arts' ultimate divine skills, then enter the world of Return of the Condor Hero, it would definitely be a very interesting thing.

  Wu Ming didn't rush to choose a number, instead he smiled and asked: "Book Spirit System, can you tell me in advance what these ten peerless martial arts secret books are?"

  "Sorry, you cannot know the information of the ten secret recipes until you make a choice."

  "Are they all the ultimate divine skills in the Condor Hero?"

  "Maybe yes, maybe no, everything is random. What specific secret recipe you can draw depends on your own luck. Okay, you have ten seconds to choose a number, if you don't choose one after the time limit, you will lose this opportunity."

  As soon as the voice of the Book Spirit System fell, Wu Ming's mind indeed floated with a countdown timer.

  There was such a good thing, Wu Ming naturally would not give up, so he quickly reported a number.

  "I choose number 9."

  In Wu Ming's heart, 9 represents many unusual meanings. After going to school, his student ID number was 9, the last digit of his QQ account was also 9, and even the last digit of his mobile phone number was also 9.

  In his haste, he almost blurted out a figure.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "The number you chose is 9, and the Book Immortal system is drawing a supreme martial arts secret book from the world of Wuxia for you."

  "Ding Dong!"

  "Congratulations, you've drawn the ultimate martial arts manual 'Spring Sun Melting Snow Technique'."

  As prompted by the Book Immortal System, Wu Ming's mind suddenly flooded with some special characters, involving the subtleties of "Spring Sun Melting Snow Skill".

  Spring sunshine melts snow

  Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, but immediately remembered that this was the unparalleled skill of the protagonist Xiao Jiao in "Jianghu Legend", which he had read before.

  Wu Ming still remembers that this was written by Mr. Wu Jia, and there are also "The Legend of the Martial Arts", "The Legend of China", "The Legend of the Black Eagle" and so on.

  This is one of the early books Wu Ming read, although it's a bit bland, but it has a very unique Lingnan flavor, especially the mountains and rivers inside, which make people yearn.

  "Chunyang Rongxue Gong" mentioned in "Jianghu Legend" was created by Tian Sheng Lao Ren based on Xing Su Hai's "Xi Xing Da Fa", and is somewhat similar to the "Bei Ming Shen Gong" in "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

  In Wu Ming's view, "Spring Sun Melting Snow" seemed to be a step further than "North Mi Godly Power", mainly because its side effects were almost non-existent and could perfectly merge the internal power absorbed from others.

  Will be able to obtain "Spring Sun Melting Snow", and later in the world of Shen Diao, there is no doubt that they have better self-protection capabilities.

  Wu Ming's mouth corners curved upwards, and a excited smile gradually appeared on his face.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "Your initial skills have been learned. Please select a character to enter the world of The Legend of the Condor Hero, or the system will randomly assign one for you."

  As for choosing a role, Wu Ming had already made up his mind and naturally knew how to make a decision.

  "I choose the protagonist 'Yang Guo'."

  "Ding Dong!"

  "The role you have chosen is the protagonist 'Yang Guo', the system is calculating the compatibility for you, please wait a moment."

  "What's compatibility? What is this thing?" Wu Ming asked in surprise, unable to hold back his question.

  "Affinity refers to the degree of affinity between you and the characters in the book. The higher your affinity, the easier it is for you to blend into the roles in the book, and vice versa."

  "Is there any real difference?" Wu Ming was somewhat speechless, if he had known that there was such a thing as compatibility, then he should have carefully considered the role he wanted to play.

  Unfortunately, I have already made a choice and it's too late to regret now.

  "The higher the degree of fit, the smaller the possible changes in the world of the book, and the lower the degree of fit, the greater the possible changes in the world of the book. If the degree of fit reaches a very small value, after entering the world of the book, it is possible to completely subvert the entire world of the book."

  "Oh, I see, so now I understand." After listening to the Book Spirit System's explanation, Wu Ming finally understood the role and significance of the contract rate.

  Just as the "butterfly effect" describes, some tiny changes may trigger a chain reaction, thereby breaking the original balance or law.

  Wu Ming entered the world of the book, playing the role of a character in the book. Due to individual differences between him and the original character, his judgments and choices were often different, resulting in changes to the direction of the entire book world, which was only natural.

  However, Wu Ming entered the world of The Return of the Condor Hero with the purpose of changing the fate of Yang Guo and Little Dragon Girl, so for him, there was no pressure at all.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "Compatibility calculation completed. Your compatibility with Yang Guo is 80%. Among them, appearance 90%, personality 80%, talent 70%. The compatibility level is good, and the Book Immortal system suggests entering the book world with this character. If you have any objections, please notify us in time."

  Hearing the calculation result of compatibility, Wu Ming was still very happy. He could reach 80%, at least he and Yang Guo were quite compatible. Although his talent seemed slightly inferior, with the compensation of "Spring Sun Melting Snow" and modern knowledge as his arsenal, Wu Ming believed he could live a very fulfilling life in the world of The Return of the Condor Hero.

  "No objection, I insist on my choice." Wu Ming said with a faint smile.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "You have chosen the role of 'Yang Guo'. Please select a node to enter the world of the book. You can start from the beginning or choose any scene from the first ten chapters to enter midway. If you enter midway, all the skills learned by the original characters in the book will be completely forgotten."
