I looked at her appearance, and suddenly the “dress-up” interface popped into my mind. I could actually change the outfit of the system sprite, with costume options like archer, uniform, heavy-armored warrior, god race, and so on. So, I directly selected a set of work attire, plus a dress-up holding a stack of files in her hands, looking pretty much like the company’s front desk beauty. After confirming, I entered the words “little secretary.”
“Name set.”
Her pretty face flushed red, and she said, “From now on, my name will be ‘Little Mason’. Thank you, Master!”
My old face turned red as I said, “Of course. From now on, can I just call you Little Brooke?”
“Okay.”
She nodded: “Little Brooke at your service. Now, Master, please begin the character creation phase. Do you need to adjust your personal appearance?”
“No need.”
I shook my head. I was actually quite confident about my looks. While I couldn’t say I was super handsome, I was definitely not ugly. The next second, the system finished scanning my data, and my image in boxer shorts appeared before me, with facial features almost identical to my real self.
Little Mason smiled and said, “Character creation complete. Next, please name yourself, Master.”
“July Blaze.”
Without thinking, I entered the name I always use. To my surprise, it wasn’t taken, and the registration was completed right away.
“Account created successfully!”
Little Mason smiled with dimples: “Please choose a local newbie village, Master. After confirming, you can enter the game.”
“Okay.”
Immediately, a densely packed list of small villages appeared before my eyes, all names of newbie villages. So I said to the outside world, “Little Flynn, after you finish creating your character, don’t rush into the game. Pick the same newbie village as me. Let’s enter the game together, level up to 10, and then pick our class.”
“What do you mean by picking a class?”
“Choosing a profession! Didn’t you read the beginner’s guide, you idiot!?”
“I forgot to read it. But I’ve got you, haven’t I? Hahahaha~~~”
I glanced over. In Suzhou and the entire Jiangsu region, there were over three hundred newbie villages to choose from. I picked one with a pleasant-sounding name—Qiuyue Village. “Spring flowers and autumn moon, when will it end?” What a poetic name. This would be our starting point. So I said to the outside, “Little Flynn, pick Qiuyue Village, then you can enter the game.”
“OK, Qiuyue Village, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Confirmed, it’s starting, it’s starting!”
“Alright.”
The next second, I also confirmed Qiuyue Village and then entered the game.
……
“Whoosh~~~”
A dazzling scene of light and rain appeared before my eyes, and then my character in boxer shorts appeared in a small village blooming with peach blossoms. All around, “shua shua shua” light points rained down, as countless players descended into this village!
“Little Reed!”
Not far away, a man in boxer shorts waved at me—it was Little Flynn!
I laughed and walked over: “Little Flynn, you really look like a total gay dude…”
He picked his nose: “As if you don’t look the same. So, what now? Should we buy equipment and potions before heading out to level up?”
“Buy my ass, do you have any money?”
“5 copper coins… Damn! Can’t buy anything…”
“Huh?”
I opened my bag and glanced inside, only to find that besides a newbie cloth robe, there were actually three other items: a pitch-black bracelet, a deep red piece of paper, and a golden, dazzling manual. What the heck are these?!
My gaze swept over them one by one. First, the bracelet with an ancient vibe. As my eyes touched it, its attributes popped up—
[Ancient Bracelet] (Unknown)
Trait: Unbound
No idea what it is. Next, the red piece of paper, equally mysterious.
[Shura Codex] (Guixu-grade Treasure)
Use: After use, gain the hidden race “Shura” and the corresponding hidden class
Damn!
My mind exploded instantly. This is a real treasure!?
No, calm down. Next, the third item, the golden manual, looked incomparably holy.
[All-Achievement Handbook] (Guixu-grade Treasure)
Description: Upon activation, unlock the all-achievement system
Buzz!
My mind went blank again. This time, it really felt like something big had happened!
……
“Little Flynn?” My heart sank.
“Yeah? What’s up?”
“What did you get in your bag when you spawned?”
“A newbie cloth robe, and 5 copper coins, that’s it. Why?”
“That’s all?”
“Yeah, what’s going on?”
In an instant, I was overjoyed. Am I the only one like this? My newbie bag had three more treasures than other players. Could I be the protagonist?
I was so happy I could barely breathe. I said in a low voice, “Little Flynn, I think I triggered a hidden class. Here’s the deal: you go out and level up on your own. Once you reach level 10, you can pick a class. Choose mage—you can level up solo. I’ll go sort out my hidden class first, then come back and level up with you.”
“Holy crap?”
