Chapter 1 The Boy Who Ran Away from Home

  In H City, under a ordinary residential building, a young man wearing a white down jacket stood with his luggage. His clean and fair face showed sharp features, dense eyebrows slightly raised in rebellion, long and slightly curled eyelashes below, dark and deep shallow blue eyes staring blankly at the simple residential building in front of him, looking wild and unbridled, evil and sexy. His straight nose, rose-petal-like lips slightly pursed, his three-dimensional facial features were as beautiful as a knife cut, with a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, emitting an aura of a king who shakes the world, an evil and beautiful face with a hint of faint sadness, a gentle breeze blew by, his black shiny long hair floating in the wind, showing a carefree and elegant demeanor.

  At this moment, the young man had a lot of feelings in his heart. He was no longer the son of a rich family, nor was he a wealthy and famous door. He was just an ordinary unemployed youth in society, and his new life would start from here.

  "Jia Wen, let's go up, you can rest assured! Don't worry, your parents won't be able to find this place."

  A middle-aged man in a suit turned his head towards the young man called Jia Wen and let out a deep sigh.

  This middle-aged man is about forty years old, with a height of around 1.8 meters, and an entire big head. His bronze-colored skin shows an extremely healthy appearance. On his square-shaped face, his eyebrows are raised high, and the light in his large copper-bell-like eyes flashes, revealing a hint of depth. Between his eyebrows, a heroic spirit bursts forth, just like a commander-in-chief leading thousands of troops. A black Western-style suit worn on his sturdy body reveals an unparalleled air of majesty.

  Jia Wen turned her head and glanced at the middle-aged man, saying lightly: "Master, you promised to keep it a secret for me."

  The middle-aged man smiled wryly, nodded slightly, and hastily picked up Jiawen's luggage. He patted his shoulder, and the two of them hurried upstairs...

  A middle-aged man named Qi Yuan was a first-class bodyguard of the Qin Chu Group, the world's largest financial conglomerate. He had been a special forces soldier and his skills were self-evident. When Jia Wen was young, he admired and was curious about Qi Yuan's abilities, so at the age of seven, Qi Yuan began secretly teaching him martial arts. Now, ten years have passed, and under Qi Yuan's guidance, Jia Wen has become a true master of the martial arts world. If three or four people were to try to get close to him, they would only meet with death.

  A few months ago, due to the changes in the Qin Chu Group, Jia Wen's parents divorced, and the Qin Chu Group ceased to exist. Qi Yuan then resigned from his bodyguard position and bid farewell to Jia Wen before coming alone to this city of H to make a name for himself. Unexpectedly, not long after, his young apprentice actually came running alone, and upon hearing his reasons, Qi Yuan naturally understood...

  "Jiawen, isn't this house great? It's a two-bedroom, one-living room place."

  Zi Yuan pulled Jia Wen into a residential house, smiling benevolently.

  Jia Wen stepped inside and looked around carefully, nodding suddenly. "Not bad, Master, are you living alone?"

  After closing the door, he went to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of drink for Jiawen, smiling: "Of course, Master is alone, do you want me to find a master mother for you?"

  Jia Wen helplessly shrugged his shoulders, his eyes scanning the surroundings, and said lightly: "It's appropriate!"

  "You little brat, you're asking for a beating!"

  Zi Yuan suddenly kicked out with one foot, but unexpectedly Jia Wen was well-prepared and dodged it like a ghost, revealing a smiling face.

  Zi Yuan's face was full of smiles as he looked at Jia Wen, clapping his hands in satisfaction and nodding his head "Not bad, not bad, good kid, your movements have improved, it makes me happy."

  As he spoke, he picked up the remote control on the sofa and suddenly turned on the LCD TV in the living room...

  "Recently, the International Network Alliance, the world's eight largest banks, Shanda Virtual Network Group, Century Glorious Network, China Qin Group and China Chu Group jointly launched after 15 years of research, the most perfect game in the world - Chaos. It will be officially opened to the outside world at the end of this month, when the global community will witness for the first time the great achievements brought by human high-tech. The Chaos virtual network world with a virtual degree of up to 97% will bring you endless pleasure and let you experience the magic of the second world..."

  The beautiful female anchor's heavenly voice came from the LCD screen and lingered in the living room for a long time...

  Just sitting down beside the sofa, Jiawen was taken aback, his eyes fixed on the LCD screen, silent for a long time...

  He gazed intently at the LCD screen, slowly pulled out a cigarette and lit it, sighing: "Ah, this is indeed a world-shocking virtual game. These days, I often see advertisements about Chaos on the internet, TV, and newspapers. This game is not ordinary, it's well-known to every household. I think the economy of this world won't just be limited to real-life business, I estimate that once this game starts, it will definitely contain huge business opportunities."

  Jia Wen's eyes sparkled as he turned his head to look at Qi Yuan and asked faintly, "Master, are you also interested in online games?"

  "Hmm, Master is old and can only appreciate these things now. These high-tech stuff belong to your young people's world." Qi Yuan said this and suddenly turned his head towards Jia Wen, chuckling: "Jia Wen, aren't you a hardcore online gamer? How about it, want to give it a try?"

  Jia Wen helplessly shrugged and said lightly, "A virtual reality game with a high degree of 97%? With today's technology, can we really achieve this standard? This sounds too incredible. We often see this in online games, could these guys be maliciously hyping it up to increase their popularity?"

  Zi Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head, patting Jia Wen's shoulder and chuckling: "You little scamp, you're just a flower in a greenhouse, you don't know anything. This game is actually developed by your family's company, didn't you ever hear your parents mention it?"

  "Master..."

  Jia Wen's face suddenly turned gloomy as soon as he heard the words "dad" and "mom". He obviously didn't want to bring up the past, everything in the past was already a bygone era, now he just wanted to live his own life.

  "Oh, okay, let's not mention them!" Qi Yuan waved his hand repeatedly, then shook off the cigarette ash and said lightly: "Let's just talk about this game. This game... Ah, you know your master is a roughneck, doesn't understand these things."

  As they spoke, he picked up a game manual that had been discarded on the tea table next to him, examined it carefully, and handed it over to Jia Wen, saying with a bitter smile: "You take a look yourself, Master doesn't understand these things. If you want to play this game, Master will go queue up tomorrow to buy a headset for you."

  "Helm?" Jia Wen's brow furrowed in surprise, "It really is just like in online games? Using a helmet as the connector?"

  The joy that leaked out between the lines of Jia's words was naturally self-evident. Of course, this was also seen by Qi Yuan on the side. He chuckled and patted Jia's shoulder, muttering: "Well, since my apprentice wants to play, then Master will help you line up to buy a helmet now."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up.

  Jia Wen hastily stood up and anxiously said: "No need, Master, I'll go myself, it's so cold outside."

  Zi Yuan turned his head, raised his hand and gently stroked Jia Wen's nose bridge, chuckling: "How great is your parents' power, you're clearer about it than I am. Their informants are everywhere, omnipresent. Aren't you afraid of being found by them?"

  Jia Wen suddenly shuddered, raised his hand to scratch his head, thinking that it was indeed the case. He had always wanted to live an ordinary life, and what he needed most now was quietness. If those annoying people were to find him, wouldn't it be a bother? He himself didn't mind, but this would cause trouble for his master.

  Just as Jia Wen was stunned, Qi Yuan smiled and patted Jia Wen's shoulder, saying: "You just stay at home and look at the game materials, I'll be back tonight. By the way, your room is the one on the left, it's all tidy."

  After Zhiyuan finished speaking, he hastily opened the door and turned back to Jiawen, making an OK gesture with his hand, smiling as he left...

  Jia Wen's gaze was fixed on the long-gone master, and a warm feeling rose in his heart. After countless storms and hardships, at this moment, he could only find a thread of happiness in the kind-hearted master...

  Taking a deep breath, Jiawen clutched the game manual in his hand and hastily dragged his luggage back to his room...

  After entering the room, Jiawen was slightly shocked by the decoration inside. Although the bedroom is not large, the decoration in the room appears to be extremely luxurious. Not only is the furniture complete, but everything shows a sparkling and precious appearance, which is clearly not the style of his frugal master.

  Upon seeing this, Jiawen couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. He understood that this was all deliberately arranged by Master Qi Yuan. He was afraid that Jiawen had grown too accustomed to the luxurious life and wouldn't adapt well here at first, so he made such elaborate arrangements. If there's anyone else in this world who treats him as kindly as his late grandfather and grandmother, it would probably be only Master Qi Yuan.

  After a moment of emotion, Jiawen made a vow in her heart to repay her master's kindness well in the future, and then she put down her luggage and went straight to bed.

  Lying in bed, Jiawen opened the chaotic game data with an excited expression. The promotional painting of Chaos was perfect to the extreme.

  On the cover, on a misty and towering mountain peak, seven people gathered together, four men and three women. The men were all handsome and extraordinary, with an unmistakable air of majesty. The women were all stunningly beautiful, enough to overthrow cities and states. The real mountains and rivers, the scenery was beautiful yet somewhat mysterious. It made one's heart feel carefree and joyful, and couldn't help but make their blood boil with excitement.

  Jia Wen opened the first page with excitement, and the lines of colorful fonts were striking.

  Chaos Game 97 (percent sign) virtual degree, will take you into the real second world, a magical world, a mysterious world, a world that only you can't think of, nothing Chaos can't do.

  Chaos game, a cross-century leap in the online gaming world. Breaking away from the traditional online gaming tools of computer keyboard, mouse and semi-virtual headset, it uses the latest specially produced Chaos gaming headset. Players can only have one account when entering the game. Once created, the iris is locked directly, identifying the identity. Binding accounts, no one else can log in.

  Chaotic Special Game Helmet. Divided into three levels: ordinary, luxurious and noble, its level is linked to virtuality and price.

  Ordinary - White Silver Head - Authenticity 90% (Price: 8,800 yuan)

  Deluxe Edition - White Platinum Helmet - Authenticity 93% (Price: 18,000 yuan)

  Noble Type - Brick Stone Helmet - Authenticity 97% (Price: 88,000 yuan)

  Seeing such a price, Jia Wen couldn't help but take a deep breath. In the past, these numbers were nothing to him, and he could get them with just a stretch of his hand. But now it's different from before. The cost of living he needs is only 60,000 yuan, and he also has to consider the rent, food, clothing, and daily expenses here. Calculating this way, even if he wants to buy a white silver-level helmet, it would be a stretch, such an expensive thing, with his current amount of money, it's simply impossible.

  But Master has already left, and he just retired from his job, where did all this money come from? What should we do now?

  It may be a bit dull at the beginning, after all, friends are used to seeing golden fingers in online games, and it seems that divine objects and hidden professions are coming out one after another. Don't worry, this book will slowly reveal its charm.
