Entering the room, Lin Mumu took out a pile of books and notebooks from her backpack.
“Fei, let’s review together.”
“Uh, Mumu, honestly, I can’t focus on studying right now.”
She froze for a moment, her big eyes filled with disbelief, her body trembling slightly as she spoke in a shaky voice.
“Didn’t you say we would go to college together? You promised me! We were supposed to go to college together!”
Chen Fei listened to her words, and memories of their conversation from six months ago flashed through his mind. For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond. Should he tell her the truth? That the world was going to end? Who would believe that?
In his previous life, since the release of this game, although Chen Fei loved playing it, it never affected his studies. He and Lin Mumu had even gotten into college together. Back then, if it weren’t for the charm value max talent, which allowed him to coast through the game, he would have fallen behind the top players long ago.
“I’m sorry, I… I have to play this game!”
Lin Mumu glanced at the game pod on the floor, walked over, and activated the touch screen on top. There was only one game displayed: [Eternal Myriad Races]!
“This is the game, right? I thought you were playing something else.”
“Uh… what did you think I was playing? I’m a decent guy, you know!”
She gave Chen Fei a sidelong glance, walked over to his bed, and pulled out a manga from under the pillow: “Busty Childhood Sweetheart Tutors Me at Night.”
“A decent guy? And you read this stuff?”
“This… it’s actually something a friend left behind…”
“You don’t need to explain anything to me. Since you’ve decided not to study, I’ll join you in playing the game for three months.”
“What? You’re not going to study?”
“Did you forget? I can get a direct admission. I just stayed because of you…”
Only then did Chen Fei remember. This girl had outstanding grades. She had ranked first in the provincial mock exams and had won awards in city-level and national competitions. Plus, her family was wealthy, so she already had a direct admission offer.
Chen Fei was silent for a while before speaking softly, “Thank you for always being so good to me.”
Lin Mumu rolled her eyes at him and said with a huff, “Why are you being so polite with me?”
She placed the manga back under the pillow. “I’ll finish my tasks tomorrow, and the day after, I’ll come to your place to play the game with you.”
With that, she slung her backpack over her shoulder and left.
Chen Fei watched her departing figure and sighed softly.
In his previous life, Chen Fei had wanted Lin Mumu to join him in playing the game. Unfortunately, Lin Mumu wasn’t fond of games and disliked wasting time on them. She never played with Chen Fei, instead encouraging him to focus on his studies. At that time, Chen Fei had no idea that the game would merge with reality. So, he didn’t force her to play and didn’t fully immerse himself in the game. By the time he realized the game’s connection to reality, it was too late. At that point, creating a character was no longer possible. Those who hadn’t played the game were destined to remain ordinary people, relegated to support roles.
But now, things were different. As long as Lin Mumu’s talent wasn’t too weak, he could help her develop quickly. When the myriad races descended, they might even have the power to protect themselves.
After a round of washing up, Chen Fei lay on his bed, contemplating the tasks for the next day. This was his routine. He had completed Krees and Widow Liu’s quests, acquired yellow equipment, and reached Level 12. Now, he had the strength to confront the village head directly. Moreover, the female knight from the Laien Empire would pass through the area the next day. This meant Chen Fei needed to resolve the village head issue before then and follow the female knight to Donglin City, where more quests awaited. He hoped everything would go according to plan as he drifted into sleep.
The next morning, Chen Fei opened his eyes, freshened up, and ate the food he had packed the day before. He then stepped into the game pod to start the game.
Upon opening his eyes again, he felt the surge of power in his body. Taking a deep breath, he headed towards the village head’s house. Upon arrival, he saw many players accepting quests, most of them taking on goblin tasks. Suddenly, a thought struck him. “How foolish of me! I have tenfold amplification. Why not level up first?” Despite the class change restriction, he could still reach Level 20. With the ghostbone spear and thunder strike dagger, he could surely handle the village head.
Slapping his forehead, Chen Fei headed outside to hunt goblins.
“You have killed a goblin, gained experience reward ’10’, triggered tenfold amplification, gained experience reward ‘100’!”
“You have killed a goblin, gained experience reward ’10’, triggered tenfold amplification, gained experience reward ‘100’!”
“You have killed a goblin, gained experience reward ’10’, triggered tenfold amplification, gained experience reward ‘100’!”
“You have leveled up to Level 15!”
“Experience required for upgrading: 100/2500”
At his current level, he could easily obliterate goblins. Unfortunately, goblins offered little experience and were limited in number. After half an hour of grinding, he had wiped out the goblins and reached Level 15. As for other monsters, there were hardly any around, unless he ventured further. Being a novice area, Level 10 was typically the cap.
Seeing that the monsters were mostly cleared, he swiftly headed towards the village head. By noon, Chen Fei arrived at the village head’s doorstep, where many players still lingered.
“Hey, isn’t that Li Xiaoyao?”
“What’s he doing here? Is he taking the goblin quest?”
“A low-level quest like that? Really?”
“Yeah, the Dragon King Hall folks are already preparing to explore the east with a hundred people.”
Ignoring the chatter, Chen Fei activated the Invisibility skill, vanishing from sight. Equipping all available gear, he gripped the thunder strike dagger tightly and dashed towards the village head. As the Invisibility effect was about to end, he swiftly activated his newly acquired skill, Shadow Strike. Before his form reappeared, he melded into the village head’s shadow, then struck fiercely. The thunder strike dagger crackled with electricity as it plunged towards the back of the village head’s skull.
