"What a pity, she should have other good things on her..."
Seeing the other party leave, Lin Chen felt a bit regretful.
Because after his talent became God-Tier Replication, his initial replication count became three.
He had used one on the Goddess of Life, leaving him with two. If she hadn't left, Lin Chen could have continued to freeload.
He then summoned his backpack interface and, as expected, saw a cluster of light emanating a misty red glow and radiating life energy.
It was that divine spark!
As Lin Chen's gaze fell upon the divine spark, relevant descriptive information automatically appeared:
[Divine Spark]
Type: Life-attribute (Supreme Grade)
Attributes: (Limited by level and realm, attributes not fully unlocked)
HP +100,000
MP +100,000
Additional Effect 1: Automatically comprehend skills related to the divine spark's attributes.
Additional Effect 2: Unlocked... Description: A divine spark is a symbol of true gods and deities, possessing incredible power.
[Hint: You can integrate the divine spark into yourself. Its attributes and skills will gradually unlock as the player's level increases!]
"It's not fully unlocked yet, only adding 100,000 HP and MP, but having these attributes at the start is already very good."
After all, it was something he got for free, so Lin Chen was very satisfied and was about to fuse the divine spark.
[Please officially enter the game before performing this operation.]
The system prompt sounded.
Lin Chen had no choice but to proceed to the next step: "Select a profession."
Buzz!
A huge light screen appeared in the center of the hall, displaying virtual characters representing the professions of the Myriad Heavens Game.
The professional classifications in Myriad Heavens were largely similar to the games Lin Chen used to play: Warrior, Swordsman, Shield Guard, Assassin, Fighter, Archer, Mage, Priest, Summoner.
Of course, these were just conventional professions, and it was not ruled out that there were special professions obtained through other means.
Lin Chen didn't hesitate much and focused his gaze on the female Archer in tight leather armor on the light screen, making his decision: "I choose Archer."
Archer, a ranged profession. In terms of attack range, it was inferior to a Mage, but in terms of attack distance, it was the furthest in the game.
Lin Chen possessed the replication talent, so choosing any profession wasn't really important to him. If he wasn't satisfied, he could completely replicate other professions.
His current choice of playing an Archer was mainly for safety considerations.
The game rules stated that the Myriad Heavens Game's death penalty mechanism was terrifying.
Each time a player died, their lifespan would be halved, their level would drop by at least one, and they would lose one piece of equipment.
When a player's lifespan was less than 10 years, dying again would result in direct annihilation!
In the Myriad Heavens World, opportunities and crises coexisted!
Of course, players still had some privileges.
For example, before level 10, players had one 'Newbie Protection' opportunity. Its effect was that if lifespan was less than 10 years, death would only result in a loss of level and equipment, and they would not be truly annihilated.
However, 'Newbie Protection' was only available once, and even if not used, it would permanently disappear when the player's level first reached 10, so the risk still existed.
Lin Chen chose to play an Archer for stability. Archers have a long attack range, allowing them to kite monsters for leveling, which is safer than melee professions.
[Profession selection complete. Congratulations, you have successfully transferred to the Archer profession!]
[You have learned initial profession skills: Bow and Crossbow Mastery, Agility Specialization, Rapid Shot, Double Shot, Armor-Piercing Arrow!]
[You have obtained initial equipment: Practice Growth Bow, Newbie Archer Attire (no attribute bonus) ×1]
A warm light shone down from above, flowing into Lin Chen's body.
He felt a surge of understanding, instantly mastering the initial profession skills, and automatically equipped the weapon and newbie player attire.
[Character creation complete. Officially entering the Myriad Heavens World in 30 seconds. Please prepare!]
"Check character interface."
Taking advantage of this pause, Lin Chen summoned his personal interface:
Player: Peerless Dust
Level: 0 (0/100)
Lifespan: 34 years
realm: None
Main Profession: Archer (F-rank)
HP: 100
MP: 100
Attack Power: 15 (Base 10+5)
Magic Strength: 10
Defense: 10
Movement Speed: 10
Four Dimensions: Constitution 10, Strength 10, Agility 10, Spirit 10
Free Attribute Points: 0
Main Talent: God-Tier Replication (Unknown Rank)
Equipment:
[Practice Growth Bow] (Normal): Attack Power +4, no level requirement.
Profession Skills:
[Bow and Crossbow Mastery] (F-rank): Proficiently use bow and crossbow weapons.
[Agility Specialization] (F-rank): For every 10 Agility, Attack Power +1.
[Rapid Shot] (F-rank): Enter rapid shot state, gaining 30% shooting speed bonus for 30 seconds. Cooldown 60 seconds, consumes 30 MP.
[Double Shot] (F-rank): Shoot two arrows at once, each dealing 90% of attack power as damage. Cooldown 20 seconds, consumes 20 MP.
[Armor-Piercing Arrow] (F-rank): Condense an arrow that can penetrate armor, breaking through 20 points of the target's defense and dealing 100% of attack power as damage. Cooldown 20 seconds, consumes 20 MP.
In the game description, there were detailed explanations of the four-dimensional attributes:
1 Strength = 1 Attack Power.
1 Constitution = 10 HP = 1 Defense.
1 Agility = 1 Movement Speed.
1 Spirit = 1 Magic Strength = 10 MP.
Aside from their apparent effects, each attribute also had hidden effects.
For example, people with high Constitution would have abundant energy and wouldn't feel fatigued during prolonged combat.
People with high Spirit would enhance their mental abilities, positively affecting consciousness and spirit-type skills.
Lin Chen's attributes and skills were very ordinary. It seemed that every player's initial attributes were like this, unless influenced by special talents.
However, he still had a super powerful talent and a free divine spark, so it wasn't a big problem.
Thirty seconds passed.
A beam of teleportation light suddenly generated beneath Lin Chen's feet, and the space around him immediately twisted.
The next instant, a sensation of spinning came, lasting for one second, and then Lin Chen felt solid ground beneath his feet again.
[You have descended into Dimensional World No. 1. This world accommodates one million Dragon Country players!]
[You are currently in the eastern plaza of the First Survival Base in the Dimensional World!]
[You have obtained Dimensional World Survival Handbook ×1!]
[Regional communication channel has been opened!]
Game prompts sounded one after another.
Lin Chen looked around and found himself standing on a huge bluestone plaza.
He wasn't the only one; many players had already descended and were looking around.
Above the plaza, white light pillars continuously descended, and each time a light pillar dispersed, a player's figure would appear.
A cacophony of voices surged like waves:
"I've really been pulled into a game! It's not a scam, it's really an unknown game world!"
"I thought that voice was lying. Since it's really a game, let's just do it! Anyway, I didn't like my old life!"
"No! I want a peaceful life, I don't want to come to a strange world!"
"Mom, I want to go home! Wuwuwu..."
Players reacted differently; some were excited, some uneasy, and others cautiously looked around.
Lin Chen ignored the commotion around him. He walked towards a less crowded area of the plaza while observing the entire "Survival Base."
The buildings outside the plaza had an exotic style. The walls were all built from huge, finely polished rocks, full of power. Unknown mysterious runes were carved on their surfaces, faintly emitting energy fluctuations.
[Ordinary Safehouse]: Possesses certain defensive capabilities. Can be occupied by consuming survival points.
As Lin Chen's gaze fell upon a house, the corresponding information immediately appeared.
"It seems these are houses prepared for adventurers."
Lin Chen's gaze swept past numerous buildings and looked towards the far distance.
At the edge of the eastern region, a huge light curtain was faintly visible, cast down, forming a defensive barrier covering the entire base.
He turned his head and saw a crystal stele towering behind the eastern plaza, located in the central area of the survival base.
[Core Crystal Stele]
Type: Survival Base Exclusive Building
Grade: Basic (0/1000000)
Function: Here you can receive base-related quests, open the Crystal Stele Shop, and view the status of base facilities.
Description: The functional core within the survival base. Its level is consistent with the base's level. Once the Crystal Stele is destroyed, the base will cease all defensive and teleportation functions.
Lin Chen observed for a while, then opened the regional communication channel to see the players' reactions:
Invincible Fat Tiger Conquers the Heavens: "Who understands, my family? I just bought a house and a car, and was about to marry my girlfriend who's eight months pregnant, ready to live a green, healthy, and happy life. But then I get dragged into this game world to suffer? God, are you playing with me!?"
Green Grass by the River: "I just looked at the survival handbook. It says there are a lot of monsters outside the base that must be regularly cleared, otherwise, monsters will attack the base. So scary!"
Poet of the Fist Fighting Department: "Everyone, don't panic. First, check your awakened talents. As long as your talent is decent, combined with initial profession skills, if we unite, we will definitely overcome this difficulty!"
Nameless Player 1: "Fist Fighting Big Bro, my awakened talent is 'Singing, Dancing, Rap,' it doesn't have much combat power bonus. May I ask what talent you awakened?"
Poet of the Fist Fighting Department: "To be honest, I awakened the A-rank talent 'Innate Brute Strength,' with an additional +300 initial Strength points and other effects, so my current panel attack power is very high!"
Green Grass by the River: "Wow, Big Bro, please take me! I'm playing a Priest, my talent is average, but I was one of the first batch of people forcibly pulled in by the system, logging in within the first 100,000 players, so I got a lottery chance. I drew a special Priest profession! Guaranteed strong healing, and I'll follow commands!"
Others:
"Big Bro, please take me, I awakened a C-rank talent, but I'll definitely work hard and follow commands!"
"Fist Fighting Big Bro, please take me in!"
Poet of the Fist Fighting Department: "Those who want to join me, come to the Eastern Plaza coordinates (101,108). However, I don't accept just anyone; I'll choose the best!"
"Coming right away!"
Nameless Player 2: "Everyone, don't be discouraged, act quickly and team up to level up! I only awakened a D-rank talent, but I welcome anyone to form a team, no discrimination, no requirements, let's overcome this together! Those interested, meet at Eastern Plaza coordinates (320,344)!"
"Okay!"
"Brothers and sisters, let's act, fight for survival!"
...Lin Chen didn't watch for long before closing the communication channel and opening his personal backpack. As expected, he found a small booklet, which was the Dimensional World Survival Handbook.
He opened the handbook, and the information automatically surged into his mind like a tide.
The handbook contained detailed introductions to the Dimensional World and the survival base.
The "Dimensional World" was the starting stage arranged by the Myriad Heavens Game for players.
Global players were all pulled into the game. Divided by national regions, one million people from each country were thrown into the same Dimensional World.
The Dimensional World was full of dangers, and the survival base was the starting point to protect players.
The base was divided into five regions: East, West, South, North, and Central. Each region had a teleportation plaza, resurrection hall, and 'safehouses' and other buildings. The Core Crystal Stele was located in the large plaza of the central region.
There were a total of five survival bases in the Dimensional World, with one base accommodating 200,000 people, totaling one million people.
As the game progressed, trials within the Dimensional World would gradually descend.
When the final trial ended, the Dimensional World would open, and players would enter a broader world!
The plaza was still noisy. Players gradually accepted reality, many shouted to form teams, and began to head out of the survival base, clearly intending to start leveling up and exploring.
Lin Chen also began to act.
He left the bustling eastern plaza and soon found a deserted public garden.
With no one around, he sat down in a corner, opened his backpack, selected the divine spark, and silently chanted, "Fuse divine spark!"
