Chapter 2: Setting up an account

  "Scanning, please wait..."

  Standing there, Chu Rui let those unknown rays scan his body back and forth for nearly three minutes before they gradually dissipated.

  "Scan successful! Please name your character!"

  Name?

  Chu Rui was slightly stunned and hesitated for a moment!

  "Blood Shadow!"

  "Sorry, that name is already taken!"

  A sudden reminder left Chu Rui stunned for a moment. He had originally wanted to take a name that matched his profession and was also cool, but he didn't expect someone else to beat him to it.

  "Kage no Jutsu!"

  "Sorry, that name is already taken!"

  Chu Rui: "......"

  "Sly!"

  "Naming successful! You can now view your basic attributes!"

  He let out a long sigh and Chu Rui couldn't help but subconsciously wipe his forehead, never expecting that even taking a name would be so frustrating.

  "Hmm..."

  Looking at his own attributes, Chu Rui couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The initial value of the attributes in "Tianyun" was highest at 20 points, with tenacity and luck at 10 points. Tenacity was determined by one's mental state, while luck was random. Now it seemed that his attributes were still very impressive, none of the four basic attributes were below 10, and agility had even reached an incredible 20 points full score, and tenacity was also the same.

  A faint smile, Chu Rui didn't have the slightest hint of pride. For him, Blood Hand Ghost Shadow, speed had always been his strongest domain, and getting a perfect score in attributes wasn't anything to be proud of. As for tenacity, as an assassin, his mind was already as firm as a rock, let alone him, even ordinary assassins wouldn't reveal any information even if whipped, so a ten-point tenacity was unexpected but not surprising.

  "Ding! Congratulations, your Agility attribute has reached its maximum of 20 points. You have obtained the special skill 'Wind of Agility' LV1!"

  "Ding! Congratulations, your Tenacity attribute has reached 10 points. You have obtained the special skill Mental Immunity LV1!"

  Two skills?

  Upon hearing the system's prompt tone, Xiao Ling was overjoyed and hastily opened his skill bar!

  Whirlwind: Unique Skill, LV1, 0/10000. Only players with innate agility of 20 points can acquire this skill, which has uniqueness and cannot be possessed by others. Special skill possessed by the Speed Flow King, can be upgraded! Effect: Consumes 20 MP, after activation, a fixed speed (level * current speed) can be obtained, lasting for 1 minute, cooldown time is 1 hour!

  Mental Immunity: Unique Skill, LV1, 0/10000. Only players with Innate Tenacity at 10 points can acquire this skill, which has uniqueness and cannot be possessed by others. Can be upgraded! Effect: Consumes 50 MP, after activation, immune to all mental influences, ignores all mental attacks, lasts for 30 seconds, cooldown time is 5 hours!

  So cool!

  Looking at the two skills in the skill bar, Chu Rui was stunned. Spiritual immunity is nothing, it's not showing its strength at the beginning of the game, but in the later stages, whether it's BOSS or player's spiritual attacks are completely ignored, which is terrifying. For a fragile thief like him who relies on one-shot kills, once he is hit by a spiritual attack, it's very frightening and can be easily killed by others. Even with full points of tenacity, it's not absolutely possible to ignore spiritual attacks, but now this spiritual immunity has almost eliminated his biggest weakness.

  The most terrifying thing is the Wind of Agility, this skill is simply a heaven-defying existence. With only level 1, it can increase Chu Xue's speed by 2 points. To think that speed is just agility divided by 10, and Chu Xue has only 2 points of speed with full agility, the Wind of Agility actually doubled it, which is really too perverted. Moreover, as Chu Xue's level and the Wind of Agility's level increase, this amplification will become even more perverted. Originally the king of speed flow, if it continues like this, becoming the god of speed flow is not impossible!

  Suddenly got two awesome upgradable skills, Chu Rui was in a great mood and happily logged out of the game!

  He took off his helmet, Chu Rui opened the computer and watched videos of classic online game masters, receiving tasks, completing instances, etc. During his time as a killer, although he also came into contact with games, almost all were just played superficially. As a killer, he was undoubtedly the king, but in the game world, even if it's someone who has no strength to bind a chicken in reality, they might still be able to beat him, this is a fact, can't be helped. Now that "Tianyun" has arrived, using virtual technology, no longer the annoying mouse and keyboard, so relying on his skills, he should definitely be able to play well. Currently, the top priority is to understand some basic information and common sense about the game.

  The basic background of "Tianyun" is set against the backdrop of a Western-style fantasy magic era, and of course, the cultural backgrounds of various countries are also present, many of which exist as hidden tasks or conditions.

  After watching a whole afternoon of game videos, strategies and gameplay techniques, Chu Rui felt dizzy but that perverted mental strength forced himself to remember all these things, not just processing them separately, but also analyzing the knowledge contained in them.

  Chu Rui shut down the computer and picked up the virtual reality headset, looking at the promotional slogan for "Tianyun" on it.

  An unpredictable world, a stage for self-expression! As long as you dare to think, as long as you dare to do, everything is possible!

  Is everything possible? How interesting!

  With a faint smile, Chu Rui put down his helmet and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. Ignoring all the ingredients and instant noodles he had bought back, having just obtained two super skills, he was in a great mood and couldn't eat these things. This was his first meal back in his hometown, after all, he had to have something special.

  When I went out, it was around 8 o'clock. Although it's summer, it's already getting dark. Along the way, I found many delicious snacks. The curious Chu Rui almost ate all the way, buying a little bit of everything she saw to taste the freshness.

  He threw away the bamboo skewer, swallowed the last piece of roasted beef tendon, and let out a satisfied belch. He patted his stomach, which was already about 80% full, looked at the large food stall surrounded by a big crowd in front of him, thought for a moment, and still walked up to it. With so many people here, it proved that the food here is very delicious. Although he was quite full, trying some fresh food wouldn't kill him!

  "Boss, three more roasted chicken wings, ten strings of beef and three mutton chops!"

  "Boss, we'll have three plates of stir-fried rice noodles and three chicken legs!"

  "Boss, isn't mine ready yet? Bring me the beer first!"

  “…………”

  A small street stall, full of noise, a bunch of small tables already packed to the brim. The one busy in the shop is a young woman of about thirty years old, wearing a simple dress and apron at the moment, constantly bustling around, with fine sweat dripping from her forehead, which is really hard for her. Although it's already evening now, after all, it's still summer, so hot and still stuck in such a hot place to barbecue.

  Taking a glance at the customers here, almost all of them are men, with their eyes constantly scanning over the busy young women, it's clear that they're not just here for the food.

  "Excuse me, is it just one person?"

  A somewhat timid voice sounded in Chu Rui's ear, and when he turned his head, he saw a young girl dressed similarly to the young woman holding a hesitant-looking thing standing beside him.

  "Uh, just me, is there still room?"

  Chu Rui smiled slightly and nodded.

  "There's still one spot left, follow me!"

  Seeing Chu Rui's smile, the girl blushed slightly and quickly turned around, taking big strides to lead the way for him.

  "Ah..."

  Hurriedly walking, accidentally brought to the corner of the table, body tilted, and fell towards the ground.

  With a flash of movement, Chu Rui swiftly and agilely wrapped his arms around the waist of the girl who was about to fall over, pulling her up.

  "Wow, you're so quick on your feet!"

  "Hey, Little Fei, don't get so excited just because you see a handsome guy!"

  "Hehe, Xiaofei, you still haven't changed your timid personality!"

  “…………”

  A teasing voice came, Chu Rui clearly saw the girl's face in her arms turn red to the point of almost bleeding, and vaguely, she seemed to see rising heat. At this moment, she couldn't help but laugh awkwardly. In today's era, there are still girls who are so shy, it's really rare!

  "I'm sorry!"

  Steadying herself, the girl called Xiao Fei broke away from Chu Rui's embrace, her head hung low, ignoring the teasing voices around her, and walked straight ahead.

  Chu Rui helplessly swept his gaze around, the jeering and whistling voices making him quite annoyed, but he didn't feel disgusted. For a cold and silent assassin career, he still preferred this kind of life. However, when he saw some young people's fiery eyes, he felt a bit ashamed. It was clear that Chu Rui's actions earlier had caused them harm, spiritual harm.

  A faint smile, Chu Rui didn't mind, instead rubbed his fingers, nostalgic for the soft feeling just now. This action fell into the eyes of those people, naturally making them even more indignant, if not for a thread of rationality, they would have rushed up to engage in a real-life PK with Chu Rui!

  She shook her head slightly, patted her somewhat full belly, and Chu Rui still walked over to sit down, ordering the specialty dishes listed on the menu. Glancing at the customers who kept lingering around the young woman and Xiao Fei, Chu Rui couldn't help but feel a little amused. It seemed that this thriving business had a lot to do with these two women, whether they were sisters or mother and daughter.

  "This is your dish! This special spicy chicken leg is on the house, thank you for saving me just now!"

  After nearly twenty minutes, Xiaofei finally brought over the dishes that Churui had ordered.

  "Oh, thank you!"

  Looking at the golden-brown chicken leg on the table that was emitting a fragrant aroma, Xiao Ling slightly froze, then smiled at Little Fei who had a reddened face.

  Watching Xiao Fei's back as she turned and left, Chu Rui couldn't help but smile, lowering his head to start attacking the things on the table.

  Can't help but say, the business here is so good, it's not just because of the two young and beautiful women, the technique is really powerful! Chu Rui, who was originally full, changed from his original intention of trying a little to crazy sweeping.

  Rubbing his belly back home it was almost ten o'clock, after doing some exercise to digest, Chu Rui finally fell asleep!
