Chapter 1 The Boy Who Ran Away from Home

  The next morning, Jia Wen woke up from his sleep and looked at his phone, only to realize that he had overslept. This game was extremely demanding in the early stages, and if players wanted to level up quickly, they would lack time the most during this period. If they fell behind in the early stages, it would be difficult to catch up with others later on.

  After getting up and washing, Jiawen quietly pushed open the door of Ziyuan's room and saw that his master had already entered the game. Jiawen hurried back to his own room. He understood that his master hadn't played games before and didn't understand much, so there were many things he needed to tell him in the game.

  After putting on the helmet and going online, Jia Wen received a message prompt. When he opened it, he found that it was actually from his master Qi Yuan's.

  What made Jia Wen laugh the most was that this master actually took the game name "Jia Wen Master". However, it doesn't matter, after all, Master is an old man who has contact with games for the first time, and there are many things he doesn't understand, which is natural.

  The news that came from Zhai Yuan said that the place where he was born was actually No. 8979 Newbie Village. This caused a considerable shock to Jia Wen, as it seemed that many people had entered the Chaos. Perhaps hundreds of thousands, millions, or even more than nine digits, after all, such a perfect game with such great temptation, anyone who could afford to buy a helmet would probably enter.

  What excited Jia Wen the most was that his master wasn't someone who didn't know anything, and now he had even accepted a new task for a novice, which made Jia Wen extremely envious.

  Qí Yuán, who was originally a special forces operative, couldn't possibly not understand high-tech. He just hadn't been in contact with this type of game before, so he felt a bit unfamiliar. But now that Qí Yuán can control it himself, Jiǎ Wén feels much more at ease...

  Following yesterday's method, Jiawen continued to slaughter the red-haired wild rabbits on the ancient battlefield. After yesterday's epiphany and experimentation, Jiawen found that killing these red-haired rabbits was indeed much faster today. Originally, it took him a lot of effort to kill one red-haired rabbit, but now he was more than twice as fast as yesterday.

  After killing the Nth red-haired rabbit in front of him, Jia Wen helplessly looked at the remaining blood skin HP. He had no choice but to sit back down on the spot and recover his health again.

  At this time, a message from Qi Yuan came over.

  "Jiawen, what level are you at now? I'm already at level 4, haha, didn't expect this game to be so amazing, really, it's like the real world here, no difference from reality."

  Zi Yuan's words shocked Jia Wen, he didn't think that his master had already reached level 4 in just one game day. In the crowded newbie village where wolves outnumbered humans, it wasn't easy to level up four levels in a day without putting in some effort. It seemed that his master must have encountered something extraordinary.

  Because Master typed slowly, Jia Wen simply turned on the voice chat. He chuckled and said: "Master, not bad at all! I'm now almost at level 11."

  A voice came from the communicator, laughing: "Hey kid, you're on your own so quickly... practice well, oh yeah, what's for dinner tonight, just the two of us?"

  Jia Wen hesitated for a moment, then muttered and asked: "Master, are you hungry?"

  "I don't care, how about you?"

  Jia Wen shrugged and said lightly, "Then don't log off, I'll try to spend the whole night leveling up to 15, so I can leave this desolate place and take you to level up."

  After shutting down the communicator, Jiawen stood up again, his eyes fixed on the 15th level of the target, which was getting closer and closer. His heart was also getting more and more excited. After all, he wanted to see the real Chaos game, where he could truly experience the thrill of gaming life.

  He casually found a red-haired wild rabbit, and Jia Wen used his old trick. Now that he was already at level 11, with the increase in attack power, defense power, and HP, facing this level 20 red-haired wild rabbit, not only did he not retreat completely, but also didn't seem particularly fragile.

  As time passed, the ancient battlefield at this moment, with the quiet arrival of dusk, the originally blood-red sky suddenly turned a little gray, and the entire ground also became somewhat blurred due to the change in the sky, although it couldn't be compared to daytime, but it was still visible...

  Seeing this scene, Jiawen couldn't help but pause for a moment. He immediately opened the communicator to ask about the weather in Xinshou Village where his master was located. But the answer he got also left Jiawen puzzled.

  In a normal newbie village, at this moment, it is moonlit and radiant with gold, not affecting the players' vision in the slightest. But when turning to look around at one's own location, thousands of meters away, everything has become unclear, as if shrouded by a thick layer of dark fog.

  Looking straight ahead, the scene in front of me is different again. A thousand meters away, a vast expanse of white stretches out, forming a stark contrast with the black fog behind.

  Such a strange scene, Jia Wen couldn't understand. However, the position he was in was still okay, at least the red-haired rabbit on the green grass was clearly visible.

  For such a scene, Jiawen just sighed and no longer asked about it. He mentioned the treasure sword in his hand and continued to struggle on.

  Jia Wen has now reached the pinnacle of level 11 through continuous effort. Some people on the official forum said that the attributes of black night training characters would be greatly discounted, and the strength of monsters would increase. Jia Wen is now experiencing this firsthand. The red rabbit helmet and two bracelets, as well as a boot in his backpack, were all equipped, and the properties of these four pieces of equipment instantly increased Jia Wen's defense by a lot. Facing the red rabbit's impact, with the enhancement of strength, he can now withstand two hits without dying. Although he is still somewhat struggling against monsters above level 20, compared to before, he has made significant progress...

  The air is very gloomy here. Especially the unpredictable gusts of wind, which are giving Jia Wen a headache. Originally, he had only seen gusts once during the day's leveling, and everything seemed fine, but tonight was extremely strange. In just over three hours, there have been four waves of gusts that came out of nowhere, causing Jia Wen to suffer greatly. He thought he wouldn't be bullied by the Red-Haired Rabbit so easily again, but in the past three hours, he's been killed four times. All four times were due to being caught off guard by the sudden gusts of wind and getting instantly killed...

  Jiawen is currently fighting the monster while keeping an eye on the movement in the white fog ahead. Because according to his judgment, this gale was emitted from that white fog...

  Late at night, Jiawen finally reached level 13 after a long struggle. The level 13 leather armor replaced the trashy novice robe. Due to excessive fatigue, Jiawen couldn't hold on anymore and sat down behind the ancient stone tablet to rest. Now, this ancient stone tablet had become Jiawen's only refuge from the storm...

  Taking a deep breath, Jiawen dragged his tired body to the back of the ancient stone tablet and sat down. He casually pulled out his communicator.

  In the friends list, Master's avatar was still lit up, it seemed that he was still struggling. Thinking of Master killing monsters, Jiawen couldn't help but smile slightly. After connecting the communicator, Jiawen murmured and asked: "Master, how is it going?"

  "Oh no, it's...it's late at night and we're leveling up, there are fewer people around, but why have these monsters become so much stronger? And their speed hasn't decreased from daytime either."

  "Ha ha, in the game at night, killing monsters will probably lower your character's attributes!"

  "Oh, no wonder. I was wondering why it took so long to get to level 5+, Ugh, I'm exhausted, let's sit down and recover some health."

  Hearing that Qi Yuan was also using the same method, Jia Wen couldn't help but widen her eyes. This master seems to be a natural gamer after all, having never played games before yet knowing how to meditate to recover health - not simple at all!

  In the game, dawn slowly arrived with Jiawen's teeth-gritting struggle. After Jiawen defeated the red-haired rabbit in front of him, a golden light flashed across his body, and he successfully reached level 15. At this moment, Jiawen, who was originally exhausted, suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated.

  With a swift swing of his sword, he knocked down another red-haired wild rabbit. However, Jiawen was surprised to find that after reaching level 15, no experience points were added. It seemed that his previous inference must be correct - in the Chaotic Game, only after changing occupations at level 15 could one gain experience points.

  Level 15, finally can leave this ghost place. Standing in place, Jiawen looked around at the surroundings. As the sky gradually brightened, the black and white fog that had originally surrounded the area a thousand meters away also gradually dispersed, revealing a wild grassy ground once again.

  But at this moment, Jiawen suddenly realized that something was not quite right. He had already reached the level of leaving Xinshou Village, so why wasn't there any reaction? It seemed that even the system prompt hadn't appeared. Had he misjudged it?

  As he thought of this, Jiawen suddenly turned around to look at his surroundings. The empty and desolate ancient battlefield was still quiet as a ghost town, with no signs of life except for the few red-haired rabbits that had just spawned in front of him. He had originally thought that reaching level 15 would automatically transport him out of the village, but he never could have imagined it would be like this...

  System Announcement: Congratulations to player Night Wind for successfully reaching level 15, becoming the first player to leave the newbie village. System rewards 30 gold coins, reputation +100, and a green equipment item.

  The sudden system announcement made Jia Wen, who was already very depressed, even more depressed. Now there are players who have reached level 15 and left the village. In that case, isn't he the first player to reach level 15?

  Gold coins, prestige, especially that mysterious green equipment. It was originally his to begin with, but because of this damned place, Jiawen was left speechless for a moment...

  He took a deep breath and let out a mouthful of turbid air, Jia Wen stood up with an angry expression, looked up at the sky that was gradually turning red, and let out a loud roar...

  He was not reconciled, really not reconciled. Others could normally reach the new village to level up, while he, for no reason at all, was teleported to this godforsaken place. Moreover, it wasn't just that; having reached level 15 in this godforsaken place, it still didn't make a difference.

  Just thinking about it, Jia Wen's energy was drained. Having gone through a night of struggle to reach his goal, he suddenly felt limp and defeated under such a blow, with an extremely desperate mood, he abruptly pressed the exit game button...

  Thank you!
