Chapter 2 The Raiders! The Jester's Gift!
Seeing the flush in Ye Xuan's hand, the clown stretched his neck like a snake and came closer.
"impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
It didn't win a single game in two rounds of six rounds.
Only two minutes had passed, highlighting its speed.
Seeing that the talent event wasn't over yet, Ye Xuan urged, "Stop cheating! Give me the reward now, I'm eager to play the game!"
The Joker, dejected, spread out his playing cards, hugged his knees, and sat quietly on the floor.
"Draw one; whatever you get is all up to luck."
After saying that, he stared at his own hands with a questioning look.
Not a single game...
"It really is a random reward!"
When it said the stakes were unknown, Ye Xuan had a vague sense of anticipation.
He quickly drew the middle card; with his talent, he was confident it wouldn't be bad.
All the playing cards disappeared, leaving Ye Xuan's choice spinning in the air.
With a flick of his finger, the Jester of Fate caused the card to emit a dark golden light.
"Inky gold!"
Just moments ago, the clown who had been feeling down suddenly appeared in front of Ye Xuan, grabbing his shoulders and shaking him incessantly.
"Kid, tell me the truth, are you that woman's illegitimate son?"
Ye Xuan was shocked, followed by uncontrollable elation. In his previous life, the highest grade he had ever heard of was only gold.
"Not to mention humans, very few people in the entire universe possess golden items," Ye Xuan asked curiously.
"What does this dark gold color represent?"
The clown seemed disheartened by Ye Xuan's good fortune and silently returned to the doorway. "Don't ask me, you must have stepped in dog poop this morning!"
A moment later, the card shattered, and Ye Xuan's entire body was enveloped in a dark golden light. Once it was all over, Ye Xuan walked straight to the door, saying, "Bye-bye."
A hint of struggle flashed in the Joker's eyes.
"etc!"
Ye Xuan pulled his right foot back from the doorway, looking at it with a puzzled expression, but what happened next chilled him to the bone.
"You're crazy!"
Have you ever seen someone tear off their own face?
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be such a coward."
The clown's face was completely blank, and he casually tossed his own face to Ye Xuan.
"This is...?"
It felt cool to the touch, and by the time it landed in his hand, it had already turned into a mask.
However, its appearance has changed slightly, with an extra tear under its right eye.
"Kid, this is a good thing, wear it and get lost!"
Ye Xuan did not refuse, and after a brief flash of white light, they arrived at the beginner village.
Looking around, he saw no one and eagerly began to check the attribute panel.
[Player]: Wuxin
[Level]: Level 0
[Attack]: 100
[Legal Strength]: 20
Armor: 45
[Magic Resistance]: 5
Movement Speed: 50
[HP]: 200
[Energy]: 100
[Title]: Raider (Beginner)
[Talent]: A lucky, accidental blessing (ineffective)
The attribute panel only displays this basic information. Players need to check their game points and lifespan separately. Ye Xuan currently only has 1 game point and 1 year of lifespan.
All attributes are exactly the same as in the previous life, except for one additional title.
[Raider (Beginner)]: You can plunder the talent of any life you kill within three minutes.
"hiss!"
Ye Xuan gasped, "Is something like this even allowed to exist?!"
In his previous life, he hadn't heard a single word about anything related to raiders for a full 10 years.
Talent is constant, and only a very few treasures can affect it—this is a consensus!
It's no exaggeration to say that the Raider is many times more precious than the Blood of Gold!
The appearance of the raiders gave Ye Xuan other ideas.
"The prerequisite for the Plunder talent is killing the target; using your current attributes to kill monsters is simply too inefficient."
"First, I need to get that beginner's artifact from the lush forest. Besides, I remember that the legendary archer from my previous life also acquired his signature skill there."
Not long after Ye Xuan left, a large number of new players arrived.
"Is this game real or fake? Why doesn't it even have classes?"
"It's very likely true. I just tried to log off, and it refused."
"Yes! Me too! I have to stay for a full hour before I can leave."
"It's fake! It's fake! It says I only have two years left to live, but I made both flowers bloom last night."
"Hey bro, can you introduce me to some flowers? I love them too!"
The lush jungle was not close to the starting village, and Ye Xuan also had to avoid various monsters along the way, while other players had already begun killing monsters and leveling up.
[Congratulations to player Windwalker for being the first to achieve the kill! Rewards: Level +1, Attribute Points +50, Dragon Kingdom Chat Function Unlocked, Level Leaderboard Now Open]
"Is anyone really capable of killing those monsters? My attack power is only 30 points; it's not even enough to break through their defenses."
"How did he do that? The monsters in this game run away if you can't beat them, and their movement speed is a whopping 100 points! You can't even catch them!"
"This game designer is insane! The initial character stats are all different, and there aren't even any newbie perks!"
"Exactly! No profession, no skills, no equipment, not even a single NPC to be seen! What the hell is this?!"
"Haha! Brothers, don't worry, I'm Windranger. Let me farm a bit more, then I'll form a team and play with you all."
"Brother Fengxing was the first player to arrive at our newbie village and even achieved the first kill achievement. Following him is definitely the right choice!"
Ye Xuan sneered inwardly as he read Feng Xing's comment.
His so-called "playing together" was just using players as bait. And most importantly, he was Huangfu Mochen's man, and in his previous life, he often targeted Ye Xuan.
The character attributes in "All Beings" are generated based on real-world physical conditions. One point of attack is equal to one pound of punching power. Moreover, the attributes that each person automatically gains upon leveling up are different, but the total is always 50 points.
While players were still praising Fengxing, Ye Xuan had already found his own goal.
This is a strangely shaped dwarf tree, with a green treasure chest stuck in one of its branches. Open it quickly!
Endless Arrow Jar
Level: 9
[Quality]: Excellent (Green)
[Description]: Attack +100, infinite arrow generation, arrow generation time 0.1 seconds, quiver can hold a maximum of 10 arrows.
Once equipment exceeds level 10, regardless of its quality, usage restrictions will begin to appear, and the Endless Quiver is right at the edge of that limit.
Ye Xuan carried it on his back with satisfaction. Although it only added 100 points of attack, its most valuable feature was the effect of infinitely generating arrows.
"All Beings" is actually a semi-game-like game. You have to pay for all the consumables, such as arrows, yourself, so not many people actually play the archer class.
"Yes, it also comes with a regular quality longbow." This white-grade item provides 100 attack points and 15 movement speed, which is quite good.
Just as Ye Xuan was about to try his hand, a drop of saliva landed in front of him, and the ground instantly made a corrosive sound.
"Sizzle!"
"You've come at just the right time."
