Chapter 1 The Boy Who Ran Away from Home

  In the dead of night, Jiawen, who had already finished dinner, sat quietly on his bed, waiting for the opening of the game "Hun Dun". His eagerness made him restless, and he couldn't bear it. He lay down with a sigh...

  Staring at the ceiling, his eyes flickered, and he had already made a silent vow in his heart. If Chaos was indeed a once-in-a-thousand-years business opportunity, then he decided to give up his university studies, devote himself wholeheartedly to the game, seek his own future from within the game, and create everything that belonged to him through hard work in the game.

  His original university dream was his longing from childhood to adulthood. However, things are unpredictable. In today's society, money is supreme, people are cold-blooded, and the society is dirty. What's the point of furthering one's studies at a university? What's the use of achieving academic success or having extensive knowledge? Anyone who expresses their opinion can be labeled as an expert scholar. Nowadays, society is no longer pure, and people are no longer simple-minded. Everywhere on the streets, you can find unemployed university graduates. How many talented and knowledgeable individuals are wandering aimlessly in the crowd, shuttling between bustling cities? Is reading books really useful? The phrase "there's gold in books" now seems to Jia Wen like a self-deceptive and absurd saying. Correctly understanding reality is the true philosophy of life...

  The popular music of the mobile phone alarm broke the silence in the room, and also pulled Jia Wen's thoughts back to reality. With an excited mood, he put on the helmet that had been installed for a long time, his fingertips lightly moving, and the start button was slowly pressed down. Immediately afterwards, a beautiful classical music sounded at the edge of his ears. Then, Jia Wen's eyes went black...

  "Dear player, welcome to the Chaos Network World, wish you a happy game..."

  A heavenly voice resonated through the eardrum, as if being in a dream. At this moment, Jiawen's heart was already shocked. But with the passing of this beautiful and unparalleled voice, a bloody battlefield suddenly appeared before Jiawen's eyes...

  On the battlefield, thousands of soldiers from both sides lined up in formation, flags waving, and a strong wind blowing. On this magnificent scene, a robust man suddenly appeared with a large knife in his hand, revealing a ferocious expression, his mouth wide open as if roaring, and his face full of flesh was quite frightening. Next to the character, the words "Physical Attack Warrior" were prominently displayed, making Jia Wen's eyes light up. Dora's warrior. But before he could even sigh, the screen flashed again, and another beautiful woman holding a staff appeared, wearing a pink mage robe, small and delicate, stunningly beautiful. The staff in her hand was transparent throughout, flashing with elemental lights, and next to the character, a few words appeared again - Great Elemental Controller - Mage.

  Then the screen flashed again, and a beautiful female mage appeared, holding a small staff that shone with a soft light. Her eyes were wide open, and her expression was very charming, as if she was chanting some kind of spell. Before the female mage disappeared, another beautiful figure appeared. Holding a longbow that was transparent throughout, with a cold expression, like an icy beauty, with a cool and handsome entrance pose, and a moving cool expression. Next, a thief with a black mask and a dagger appeared, with a very cool shape. Then came a swordsman who held two swords in his hands, looking handsome and elegant, with clear eyebrows and eyes, like a scholar. After that, there was another loud neigh of a war horse, and a knight holding a long spear flashed out.

  Just as Jia Wen was still reeling from the shock, the scene suddenly shifted again, and he found himself in a grand hall with golden and jade decorations. In mid-air, following a flash of seven-colored light, a beautiful girl appeared, shining brightly with a pair of snow-white wings on her back, wearing a pure white long dress. The girl's sparkling eyes looked at Jia Wen, her gaze flickering, with a sincere smile on her face, and said in a soft voice: "Respected player, welcome to the most perfect space in the world - Chaos, would you like to create an account now?"

  Jia Wen's gaze followed the sound, and his eyes saw a beautiful angel girl in mid-air, so stunning that he couldn't help but take a deep breath, secretly shocked to the core, yet his face remained expressionless. Such a realistic scene would likely shock any player who entered the game for even just a moment.

  However, the beauty in Jia Wen's eyes was nothing special, just like this almost perfect pure beauty, one look and you know it's not a real person. Jia Wen also flashed his gaze, and nodded immediately to respond...

  "Starting iris scan now, account identity locked successfully, please enter your character name, character names cannot be repeated!"

  As the angelic beauty's moving voice sounded, a huge panel suddenly appeared in front of Jia Wen. On the panel, a line of cursors slowly flashed, very mysterious.

  Jia Wen took a deep breath and solemnly typed in the two characters "Feng Hun", then clicked confirm.

  "Player's Wind Soul, character name is not repeated, character name is confirmed. Please select your character's appearance, the character's appearance can be directly determined based on real-life appearance, or adjusted up and down by 15% (percent sign)!"

  Jia Wen looked at the various expressions of himself on the panel and couldn't help but secretly sigh in amazement at the mysteriousness of it all, and this was before he had even entered the game.

  After careful consideration, Jiawen decided to lower his appearance by 15%, after all, in the virtual world, no one knows what will happen next. In the game, fighting and PK are inevitable. So entering with a true face is no different from being a fool, adding unnecessary trouble for oneself.

  However, Jia Wen was born with a beautiful and handsome appearance. Even if his looks were reduced by 15%, he would still not lose to an average young man. The toned-down Jia Wen, although less dashing, had more of a cold demeanor, but looked clean and refreshing, very pleasing to the eye.

  "Character appearance confirmed, now select character attribute generation conditions: 1. Autonomous random generation, 2. Scan real body to generate..."

  "Reality scan!"

  Jia Wen chose to scan his physical body without hesitation. His original body was already very healthy, and he had been practicing martial arts with his master Qi Yuan since childhood, so the attributes generated by scanning should not be bad either.

  "Character attribute generation completed, please check character attributes in game. Do you want to enter the game now?"

  It is...

  As soon as Jia Wen's voice fell, suddenly, everything in front of him turned pitch black. Half a moment later, Jia Wen looked around with a puzzled face, what was going on? Had the system malfunctioned? Or had too many people entered the Chaotic Game and caused it to lag? Could he really be that unlucky?

  At the same time, in the lunar chaos game monitoring space capsule, a white-haired old man wearing a white scientific uniform stared intently at the front, constantly jumping character password. Suddenly, his eyebrows tightened...

  Just then, a middle-aged man hastily walked up behind him. Following the old man's gaze to the electronic screen, he suddenly exclaimed: "Old Xia, what's going on? How can there be a card machine phenomenon? This is impossible!"

  "It's not the card machine, it's those bastards from the Galactic Union who are playing tricks." The old man called Xia Lao said and turned his head to shout at one side: "Technical department, start the interference elimination system immediately and black out those bastards from the Galactic Union."

  "I understand!"

  A middle-aged man's eyes flickered as he asked in a low voice, "Old Xia, why does the Galactic Alliance have to do things this way?"

  Xia Lao sighed and said lightly, "It's still because of the infighting between the Qin and Chu groups. Alas, such a perfect thing has also been tainted."

  "Interference eliminated!"

  Xia Lao let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this, turned around and left the control room with a flourish...

  At the same time, Jiawen, who had been in a state of darkness for forty seconds, suddenly saw a flash of light in front of him and felt that his feet were already on the ground, only then did he let out a sigh of relief...

  Jia Wen turned his head to look around, suddenly furrowing his brow, and was taken aback. How could there be no one around? Was he the first person to enter Chaos? He thought for a moment, but that was impossible. Since the perfect server of Chaos had crashed due to too many people, it definitely wouldn't be so simple.

  Looking around again, Jiawen only felt a gentle breeze blowing by, and she involuntarily shivered. Coming back to her senses, she suddenly realized that she was still stark naked from head to toe. Turning her head to look around, her pretty face flushed red. She quickly summoned her backpack.

  In the empty backpack, there were only two things lying quietly at this moment, a rusty iron sword and a tattered yellow cloth robe. Jiawen couldn't help but curl his lip, this guy was really stingy, even the newbie equipment was so trashy.

  But now there's no way, so I can only rely on these two things to cover my shame and kill monsters. With a sigh of resignation, after putting on the system's only two items, Jiawen suddenly realized that he still didn't know his character's basic attributes. So he called out the attribute bar.

  Player: Feng Hun, Occupation: None, Level: 0

  Game coins: 0

  Fatigue level: 0/100

  Hunger: 0/100

  Association: None

  Reputation: 0

  Sin value: 0 (Normal state)

  Initial Attributes

  Physical Strength —— 5

  Intelligence —— 5

  Strength —— 5

  Agile——7

  Lucky——? (Hidden)

  Charm——? (Hidden)

  Equipment: Novice Cloth Armor: Defense +5

  Newbie Iron Sword: Attack +10

  Attack Power: 25 + 10

  Defense: 15

  It's just too ordinary, Jia Wen sighed to himself. He had originally thought that through the body scan, at least one of the three attributes would reach 10 or above, but now the generated attributes were a significant blow to Jia Wen who had high expectations.

  It seems that the plan to rely on innate advantages to get ahead of others is not going to work. It can only be made up for by relying on future upgrades. However, this means that the initial advantage has basically been lost...

  But Jia Wen thought for a moment, this basic attribute is important, but in the end it still relies on equipment level advantages to stand firm. In fact, the key should be in the late efforts, if everyone wants to rely on hidden occupations and super attribute points to become strong, then this game will probably go wrong.

  After some hesitation, Jiawen closed the attribute bar and looked around again with a depressed mood. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. No matter how he observed, this place didn't seem like a newbie village in the game? If it wasn't a newbie village, where could it be?

  After a long deliberation, Jiawen suddenly had an epiphany, his pupils shrinking rapidly as he looked around in shock. Could it be that just like in online games, he would have incredible encounters the moment he entered? Or perhaps he would be discovered by a powerful expert and taken on as a disciple, then converted to a hidden profession? And then there would be divine equipment, super-divine equipment, and beautiful women coming one after another?

  Thinking of this, Jiawen's heart was filled with a thrill of joy. If it were really so, then he would be prosperous. With boundless hope, he began to wander in this vast and desolate land...

  As he approached the edge of a nearby forest, Jia Wen gradually stopped in his tracks. His eyes sparkled as he gazed out at something, and a look of delight spread across his face. Why? Because he had caught sight of a monster.

  In the distance, numerous red-haired small rabbits were quietly grazing everywhere. Such a large number of monsters looked like precious experience in Jia Wen's eyes. Overjoyed, he didn't care about being in a newbie village or not; since there were monsters to kill, he might as well level up first...

  Then someone excitedly held up that tattered new iron sword, dragging along at a speed comparable to a snail's pace, rushing forward to kill the little red-haired rabbit.
