Chapter 1 The Boy Who Ran Away from Home

  Jia Wen's heart felt more and more uneasy, and in his anxiety, he suddenly pulled out his phone and quickly dialed his master's number. The ringing sound came from the phone, and after a long time, along with the noise coming from the phone, his master's kind voice finally came out.

  "Jia Wen, what's wrong?"

  Jia Wen hesitated for a moment, suppressing the disappointment in his heart, and said: "Master, this game is not fun, don't buy it, don't waste money!"

  Zhī Yuǎn fell silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled and said: "Silly kid, you're worried that Master doesn't have money, right? Don't worry, it's fine. Ah, it's my turn now, Jiā Wén, hang up first, ah, don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"

  After the noise subsided, Jia Wen's phone made a "beep" sound. Obviously, Qi Yuan had already hung up the phone.

  Jia Wen let out a soft sigh, with a complicated heart, he put down his phone and shook his head bitterly. This master knew him too well, how could he possibly deceive him with such a simple trick? After hesitating for a long time, he picked up the Chaos game manual again.

  But what surprised Ka Wen at this moment was that behind the thick game data, except for the previous introduction, there were all kinds of promotional screenshots.

  Jia Wen's eyebrows were tightly locked as he flipped through it, and he couldn't help but pause for a moment. The last page of the game data surprisingly had only a few large red characters - Mysterious World, Mysterious World, Only by experiencing it in person will you understand! Chaos is beckoning to you, come explore humanity's most mysterious second world.

  Won't be, is this the Chaos game information? How about the things in the game, not even a little introduction? Is it that Chaos's tireless promotion just uses these things to attract players' attention? This is also too unrealistic.

  Thinking of this, Jiawen couldn't help but flip through the game's materials again. After confirming, he suddenly realized that the so-called mysterious chaos was indeed mysterious. This introduction piqued people's curiosity, but afterwards, there wasn't a single mention of it. This promotional tactic is quite ingenious, worthy of being the top-notch promotional strategy of one of the world's largest electronic network giants...

  Imagine if everything was introduced in the materials, then the entire chaotic world would lose its mysterious charm. Without mystery, players knowing everything would naturally lose their desire to explore. At that time, even with unscrupulous competitors and computer hackers, taking corresponding measures according to game materials, the balance of the entire game would be completely destroyed. And the lifespan of the game would also be greatly shortened.

  Never underestimate human intelligence, or you will regret it. When something perfect is developed from human hands, initially flawless and perfect to the extreme, but a series of things that follow must inevitably leave many stains on it.

  For example, the online games that were once popular, weren't they like this? When "Shanda Legend" came out, it was followed by cheats and hacks. As these cheats and hacks continued to evolve, the balance of the entire game was directly broken. Players also lost interest in large numbers. Those who understood technology could get whatever they wanted, while ordinary players were just objects for these people to bully and vent their frustrations on.

  In cases like piracy and counterfeiting, how many famous brands and good products have been ruined by these rubbish things? Even if the current laws are sound, laws are ultimately just a piece of paper. Rules and regulations need to be followed and implemented by someone in order to work. The world is like a vast forest, where all kinds of birds exist, including lovely phoenixes and skylarks, as well as hated crows and evil hunting dogs. This is the complexity of the world.

  Jia Wen put down the game manual in his hand, and his eyes sparkled. He hastily got off the bed and casually turned on the light brain. He was certain that there would be more comprehensive information online than in the game manual. Such as internal news from Mo Huan Game Company, and so on, which were too numerous to mention.

  As expected, when Jiawen opened the official forum of Chaos, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. The entire official forum of Chaos is now the most popular among all internet forums, with a staggering amount of traffic that's frightening. In Jiawen's constant refreshing, he couldn't even keep up with the speed at which new posts were being made on the forum.

  Jia Wen faced the light brain, wryly smiled and shook his head. He casually clicked on a post titled "On the Profession of Chaos Game". This post had a high click-through rate, ranking first with a terrifying 300 million plus views. Naturally, the more people pay attention to the post, the more valuable the message must be.

  Jia Wen took a look at this post published by Zheng Ben Qing Yuan, which made detailed estimates of various occupations in the game "Hun Dun". As usual, there were warriors, magicians, archers, knights, thieves, and wizards, etc. The whole article was over 30,000 words long and surprisingly analyzed each one thoroughly.

  Facing a virtual game with a perfection rate of 97%. The profession is naturally the most concern for all players who are about to enter the Chaos game. Most of the follow-up commenters below are like this, generally more popular professions. After all, everyone knows that things are easier to accept.

  It was Jia Wen who, after reading this post, also started thinking about it in her heart. If the profession in the game is really like what's introduced online, which one should she choose?

  Warrior, after thinking about it, Jia Wenshi still thinks that warriors are the best. Warriors are the leaders of all professions. I'm sure this chaotic game can't ignore this king-level physical melee profession either.

  Jia Wen used to play games, generally choosing close combat professions. In his mind, only close combat was the true nature of a man. So Jia Wen's dream was to be a warrior, a mighty warrior who could conquer all four seas.

  After closing this post, Jia Wen took a look at other popular posts, most of which were posted by people who claimed to be online game experts. This couldn't help but make Jia Wen despise them from the bottom of his heart. What is an expert? I remember that someone famous once said: An expert is someone who specializes in making simple things complicated until they become so complicated that most people don't understand, and then he becomes an expert. These words are indeed very insightful, perhaps there are too many experts now, emerging one after another in all fields.

  He took a look at the official forum's announcement of the game's development timeline, then shut down his computer. At this moment, he sat on his bed with an excited face, his hands clasped behind his head as he gazed up at the beautiful ceiling. The emergence of Chaos not only marked a major leap forward in the online gaming world but also opened up a new frontier for virtual reality games, ushering in a bright future. Just thinking about it made Jia Wen's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't wait to enter this Chaos and explore it.

  But when he remembered the time of the game's opening, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart. Tonight, at 0:00 tonight, Chaos will be open...

  Jia Wen lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to shake off the feeling. His heart was filled with a mix of emotions. The temptation of this chaotic game was too great, this nearly perfect yet mysterious game, for any hardcore gamer who loved online games, it was a dream come true, but now, why did he feel a hint of sadness in his heart?

  Was it because of the broken family, or was it already divorced parents, or was it the master who was standing in the wind and snow among the crowd at this moment? Gradually, Jiawen's mind became blurred, and he involuntarily closed his eyes, gradually entering a dreamland...

  After a long time, a faint noise awakened Jiawen from his sleep. He sat up and rubbed his sleepy eyes, slowly getting out of bed.

  When I opened the door, I suddenly saw Master sitting alone on the sofa, concentrating his attention on something. So I walked over unsteadily.

  "Master, when did you come back?"

  Qī Yuán chuckled and said, "Just a moment ago, I saw you sleeping soundly, didn't want to disturb you." As he spoke, Qī Yuán handed over a box in his hand to Jiǎ Wén, saying, "Take a look, it's this thing, a gaming headset."

  Jia Wen's eyes saw the object in Qi Yuan's hand, and his pupils suddenly contracted. His eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face. In a moment of excitement, he grabbed it and took a closer look. When his gaze inadvertently fell on the packaging label, his body froze...

  "Brickstone-level luxurious helmet..." Jia Wen muttered these words in shock, his eyes flashing as he stared at Qi Yuan, remaining silent for a long time...

  Zi Yuan saw Jia Wen's expression and couldn't help but smile, reaching out to gently scratch his nose. "Alright, Master will go cook for you. You have a game tonight, I'll go buy more groceries so our clever disciple doesn't go hungry."

  "Master..."

  Jia Wen looked at Qi Yuan's back and choked out a sentence.

  "Disciple, remember that you are my disciple, Qi Yuan. At any time, a man should not shed tears when bleeding, nor when moved, nor when struck, nor when frustrated. A true man should have a broad vision and forge his own future. Since you chose to be an ordinary person, you must possess not only courage but also this spirit, this ability."

  "I understand!" Jiawen's face set in determination, he nodded heavily.

  "Go on, go and get a good understanding of the game. Master's next life depends on my disciple making money to support me, haha!"

  Jia Wen nodded solemnly and suddenly turned around, walking towards his own room.

  Watching Jia Wen hurry into the room, Qi Yuan revealed a relieved smile and muttered to himself: "This silly kid will definitely make something of himself. Just like when I was young, my disciple Qi Yuan is not a useless person."
