Chapter 2: Experiencing Games
Dazed for a moment, Xiaoying's head spun briefly before she came to and found herself standing in the wilderness. Her spirits lifted involuntarily as she gazed up at the blue sky and the lush green forest. It was indeed incredibly lifelike, and she could even feel the freshness of the air. She didn't dare say anything else, but those laid-back elderly players would probably spend all day immersed in the game without coming out.
After the real impact, Xiao Ying carefully measured her appearance. When creating a character, 30% of the appearance can be modified. Xiao Ying didn't want to be recognized by acquaintances from before, so she had given it careful consideration. Her hair was lengthened, with the front reaching her shoulders and the back reaching her waist. The two sides of her forehead were changed to white, her facial features became more angular, her eyes became more oval, and the color of her black pupils deepened! Her height was increased to the maximum! At least she looked more robust and spirited, and she felt more handsome and elegant herself. Although it was only a small modification, even Xiao Ying couldn't recognize herself now, which suited her just fine - she didn't want to be recognized by anyone!
Wearing a set of the simplest linen clothes, a pair of straw shoes, and looking like they're brand new, it seems that the system isn't stingy after all. After carefully feeling around my body, I'm dizzy - there's nothing at all, not even a wooden sword or a wooden knife. They just threw me into the wilderness without giving me anything, how am I supposed to survive? Unbelieving, I carefully checked again and found that I had a cloth belt, which is good, because although this is a game set in the Three Kingdoms period, there's no nylon now, so how can you wear pants without something to hold them up?
Doing some exercise, kicking my legs, it feels no different from exercising in real life. Taking a deep breath, I start to observe my surroundings and am left speechless. Looking around, all I see are endless mountains, except for knowing that I'm definitely outside of Yizhou, I have no idea where exactly I am. Who knows how big these mountains are? Luckily, it's estimated that it'll take at least ten days or half a month to walk out of the mountain range, so don't even think about it. Xiao Ying suddenly feels a bit weak in the knees, if not for not having set up a resurrection point, I'd really want to just die already. In "Yu Wang", dying reduces your overall abilities by one-tenth, and after dying ten times, you can only recreate your character... so people who think that since they're currently level 1, there's no harm in dying should calm down! Moreover, without setting up a resurrection point, you'll just respawn at the original location...
There are 13 states in China and six ethnic minorities. You can only choose one state or ethnicity, then randomize, unable to select a precise location! However, the ethnic minorities are relatively difficult to develop, I believe everyone knows that! Xiao Ying doesn't want to choose places where various forces gather, going to the tiger's mouth to fight for food, nor does she want to choose remote and desolate places, struggling bitterly. So she chose the "middle way"! Each person can only have one account, those who want to experience more should calm down!
Xiao Ying let out a sigh of frustration, thinking about how to survive in a more realistic way. She thought about exploiting the system's loopholes, but it was too late for that now. After some contemplation, she still couldn't come up with any ideas. The game was just too realistic, making it hard to survive. In the deep mountains and forests at night, even if there were no wild beasts, no one would believe her if she said so. Helplessly, she found a relatively high rock to sit on and began to think deeply. Suddenly, an idea struck her - after all, this was still just a game! She could always check the attribute panel, right? It seemed that the ultra-realistic game had really gotten to her head. She muttered to herself for a moment, and a palm-sized attribute panel immediately appeared before her eyes.
Name: Xie Ying

Commander 7

Initial attribute values are random, each person has three chances to choose, and the postnatal attributes are strength, intelligence, politics, and the highest value is 10. The highest value can only be added up to 90, and after exceeding 90, every point added will almost double the combat power! After that, it can only rely on special conditions or items to increase, just like the terror of Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and other fierce warriors. On the other hand, prenatal attributes cannot be increased by points, and can only rely on special conditions to increase, charm and wisdom have a maximum value of 100, and luck has a maximum value of 10.
Xiao Ying's attribute values belong to the severely biased category, with a simple mind and well-developed limbs, a fierce general type. Although it is infinitely close to reality, it is still a game. Low intelligence and politics do not mean that the character has low IQ. If that data were NPC, it might be mentally handicapped. For players, at most, some spells cannot be used, and the handling effect of internal affairs is not good, but it doesn't matter, intelligence and politics can be increased!
In the Chinese region, there are only five basic occupations: Martial General, Strategist, Civil Official, Mystic, and Chivalrous Guest. Among them, only the Martial General and Civil Official have the right to establish a country and can be promoted to become a monarch. The other three occupations can only have the right to open their own mansion and recruit followers, but cannot establish themselves as kings. Of course, anyone can establish small-scale organizations such as mountain strongholds or gangs.
Martial General: Born with high martial power, possessing the right to establish a nation;
Counselor: Born with high intelligence, has the power to open a mansion;
Civil officials: born with high politics, having the right to establish a country;
Scholar: Innate intelligence, high perception, with the power to establish a fiefdom;
Chivalrous Guest: Born with martial prowess, high comprehension, and the right to establish a sect.
Nothing much, just a set of coarse linen clothes, better than nothing. Xiao Ying sighed and then her eyes widened, haha, after all it's just a game, if it's too realistic, what's the point of calling it a virtual game? Might as well call it rebirth or transmigration. Seeing the exquisite waistband's attributes, Xiao Ying's confidence was restored a lot. The heavens won't cut off a person's path! Just abandoning you in the wilderness like this, new players will definitely be done for, and there's nowhere to learn skills, cities don't provide skills for you to learn either.
But thinking back, it seems that apart from being able to hold things, there's not much use for it. However, as long as it's useful, that's enough. At least I've regained some of the feeling of playing a game. As long as it's a game, it will never let you get bored. Laughed out loud several times, jumped off the rock, looked around and thought it would be better to find something for self-defense first. Ah, there's nothing, just pick up a few rocks for self-defense, immediately found a fist-sized rock and put it in my waistband.
The stone had just entered the waistband when the system voice suddenly sounded:
"Ding! Congratulations, Evil Shadow has learned a basic skill: Mining!"
No way, I've already learned mining, although it's just a game, but it's too childish. Although the official explanation says that the six basic skills are something anyone can learn, but it's too simple. Fortunately, Xiao Ying finally has some skills to defend herself, and she excitedly picks up palm-sized stones and stuffs them into her waistband. This place is most lethal with just stones, so why not prepare more for self-defense? The waistband mustn't be wasted!
I don't know how many I picked up, but the stones I picked up suddenly couldn't fit in my belt. Xiaoying's heart kept shouting "stop" "stop" "stop"... Even the stones almost hit my waist, but there was no reaction. How could it be full so quickly? I hurriedly checked my belt and found that only 6 grids were occupied, with only 57 stones. Why couldn't they fit? It's impossible for it to be broken, right? The newbie equipment doesn't have durability, but I didn't give up and looked carefully again. The weight was 97/100, so it was overloaded! What a false alarm. I quickly threw away 7 stones and finally made some space.
