Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 2 Oh no, I might have transmigrated!
"enter the game!"

"Okay, have fun playing the game... *sss*"

Suddenly, a flash of lightning appeared before Chen Xiuxian's eyes, and the electronic voice in his mind completely changed to electronic voice.

At this moment, Chen Xiuxian forgot that he had been playing a card game on his gaming helmet and had forgotten to remove the external "enhancement device," which was directly connected to the game pod!
A spark followed by black smoke rose into the air.
……

"Um?!"

Chen Xiuxian was startled by the electronic noise and the strange electric light in front of him, but in the blink of an eye, the scenery around him changed and became a brightly colored world.

Red flowers and green willows, insects chirping and birds singing, the sun shining brightly!

"This way of entering the game is quite novel!"

Chen Xiuxian, no! Now it's Chen Xiuxian!
"This game is so realistic! It's even more realistic than the 90% realism mentioned on the forums! I can't tell the difference between it and reality!"

Chen Xiuxian stretched out his hands, turning them over and over, examining them closely. He then felt around on his body a few times—it was incredibly realistic!

But isn't it said that to prevent confusion between reality and illusion, the game's touch sensitivity is only 80%?
I didn't notice any difference!
Chen Xiuxian clenched his fist and pinched his cheek, finding it all too real.

Suddenly an idea popped into his head... He wondered if that was true or not?
I heard you can't get rid of the bitter tea in the game... I'll give it a try!

Then he unbuckled his belt...and took it off!
"Huh?!" Chen Xiuxian was stunned.

This isn't right!
Just as he entered the game, the city's power station experienced a massive malfunction, causing half the city's power lines to collapse.

Including the area around Chen Xiuxian's house.

In addition, his gaming device has unknown "plugins"...

Good news came from the delivery room: Chen Xiuxian had transmigrated!
……

The midday sun in June cast dappled patterns of gold through the gaps in the leaves.

Under the shade of the tree, Chen Xiuxian stared blankly at the golden light spots that kept shimmering on the ground.

We were supposed to be playing games—once we got in, we can't get out!
By this time, he probably already guessed what had happened.

I didn't just enter a game, I was transported to another world!
I was just playing a game... I just retired (or became unemployed) and haven't even had a chance to enjoy life yet!
I boil!

Others become gaming masters before transmigrating, then make up for their regrets and reach the pinnacle of life.

I just logged into the game?!
I haven't gotten in the car yet!

I haven't played at all all day!
It took Chen Xiuxian quite a while to calm down.

Now is not the time to be angry; we don't even know where we've ended up.

The surrounding scenery is quite beautiful, but it doesn't feel like the wild. There are big trees all around, but there's a small path that people have trodden out not far away.

"System?" Chen Xiuxian tried to summon the system.

Then a semi-transparent character panel appeared in front of you.

On the left is my own image...

Holy crap, how can he be so young?!
She looked just like herself at seventeen or eighteen, so tender and youthful.

No! This seems to be me again... It looks like me, yet it's not me.

It's like your own facial features and face shape, but every aspect has been optimized to the extreme.

At first glance, it's still yourself; upon closer inspection, it's not yourself anymore; but if you look closely again, it's still yourself!

It's so damn good-looking!
Chen Xiuxian himself thought he was good-looking!
This skin is so fair and smooth... no wonder it felt so soft and tender when I pinched your cheeks earlier!

She has a bit of the legendary feminine appearance that's often associated with men!
If it weren't for the hairstyle and clothing, it would be difficult to tell whether it's a man or a woman at first glance!
I've gone from being a burly Northeastern man to... becoming effeminate?

This isn't the face I created when I created my character!

However, his clothes and hairstyle were quite striking—a coarse cloth short jacket, cloth shoes, and his hair tied up with a rope.

The right side of the character panel displays various data:

There are also 55 taels of silver and one string of cash (100 copper coins). Quest: [Find the Village Chief (White)]

……

Comment: Your appearance is the root of all trouble. You need to be careful of women, female ghosts, female demons, female monsters, female monsters... well, better watch out!
Holy crap, what kind of rating is this?

What does "take care of yourself" even mean?!

The system works fine, but it lacks a "settings" option, so realistic settings, gore levels, and pain levels can't be adjusted. Calling the AI ​​customer service is also unresponsive…

More importantly, the "exit" option is gone!
There are still many things that don't seem right!
For example, how come there's an extra gold talent?!

The "one who escaped (gold)" only appeared after the time travel!
It can't be predicted or calculated? That's a good thing, but it's a pity that the gold-quality talent didn't produce any other effects.

Fortunately, I didn't choose those inappropriate terms like "dark-skinned PE student," "yellow-haired guy," or "Beijing guy."

Also, why are all those equipment and items displayed as cards?

The design of these cards looks familiar... Is it from "Legend of the Lulu Room: Tavern Owner's Cool MOD"?
Oh no, I forgot to remove the hardware attachment from my gaming headset!

Chen Xiuxian was on the verge of tears: "Let me give you a piece of advice: playing eroge (adult games) can easily lead to time travel!"
……

There was no point in saying more. After a brief moment of melancholy, Chen Xiuxian cheered himself up.

The most pressing issue now is how to establish a foothold here.

This must be a game world, right?

If it were a game world, it would be teeming with demons and monsters!

There's no other way but to take stock of what I have to offer.

The first thing is money. At the start, you normally get 5 taels of silver and one string of cash.

The currency in the game is quite simple: 1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10000 copper coins.

One copper coin has a purchasing power of approximately one credit point (yuan).

He had this huge sum of 55 taels of silver because he had saved it up by opening many gift packages.

The three white starting equipment pieces are the same; they're not very useful.

The normal amount of [Blood-Replenishing Pill (White)] and [Qi-Boosting Pill (White)] is 10 each, but I've accumulated a bunch of them.

The former replenishes qi and blood, which is equivalent to blood replenishment.

The latter replenishes internal energy/true qi, which is called mana regeneration.

【Detoxification Pill (Green)】Literally, 【Swimming Fish Pill (Green)】After taking it, you will be able to breathe underwater and swim quickly like a fish within one incense stick's time/15 minutes.

As for those talismans, they are quite powerful. The first three types can increase arm strength, physique, and agility within the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.

The [Evil-Repelling Talisman (Green)] provides some self-protection when facing ghosts or similar entities.

【Invisibility Charm (Green)】Literal meaning~
As for food, most of it is just dry rations to fill your stomach—food is essential for life, you'll get hungry if you skip a meal. You need to eat in the game too!

The remaining food they received had various effects: it would prevent hunger for a long time, quickly restore stamina and health, increase movement speed, and enhance perception attributes, among other things.

It seems that even if I don't have a way out for the time being, I won't starve to death with so much food.
Finally, there's the quest card!

[Find the village chief (in white)]

You've ended up stranded in Liaodong, but luckily you have a letter of introduction. Take the letter to the village chief of Shannan Village and ask him to give you a place to stay.

Reward: 10 experience points.

Comment: This is a step that all newcomers take.

Chen Xiuxian tapped the quest card, and a letter appeared in his inventory.

There's no other way for now, so let's just follow this mission for the time being.
Not having a proper background is a problem, but it's not a problem in a game, it's even quite normal—after all, most players aren't like Wa's junior brother who likes to call people "Mom".

But now that I'm wearing it, I feel a bit helpless.

The question now is, where is Shannan Village?

Damn it, where's my map function?!

Damn it! Not only will it not let me exit, but where's the map? Has my system been crippled?!

Fortunately, the place where Chen Xiuxian was now was not too remote. He soon saw the main road after walking along the small path, and after a few minutes, he saw the village.

At the village entrance, we encountered two farmers carrying hoes, dressed in coarse cloth short jackets, and even straw sandals.

Ula grass, one of the three treasures of Northeast China, is especially suitable for weaving straw sandals.
Chen Xiuxian quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands slightly, and asked, "Brothers, may I ask if this is Shannan Village?"

The two men had spotted Chen Xiuxian from afar and stopped in their tracks. Hearing Chen Xiuxian's question, they immediately understood.

"Huh? Ah! Yes, yes!" replied the older man, who looked to be in his thirties.

The other, younger man, who looked to be in his early twenties, lowered his head, avoided his gaze, and blushed!
Chen Xiuxian: What are you blushing for?!
"Ah, may I ask where the village chief lives? I'd like to find him," Chen Xiuxian asked again.

At this moment, the young man seemed to realize something and became very proactive!
"I...I'll take you there!" she said, putting down her hoe and leading the way.

He was grabbed by the middle-aged man in his thirties. "Erlang, we still have to get out of bed!"

He grabbed the young man tightly with one hand and said to Chen Xiuxian, "Young man, go into the village. The third house at the village entrance with a wooden sign on the door is the village chief's house. It's easy to find. We still have to go to work in the fields, so we won't take you there."

"Okay, okay, thank you, brother."

Even after Chen Xiuxian had walked quite a distance, he could still hear the two people talking behind him.

"Brother, this is their first time here, what if they can't find their way? I'll show them the way!"

"You better behave yourself. It's only a few steps, what's the big deal about it?"

The middle-aged man, addressed as "elder brother," thought to himself: It's time to find a wife for my second son; this can't be delayed. But then again, this young man is really...delicate-looking!
　I wrote the beginnings of three books, and after accumulating more than twenty chapters, I couldn't continue writing.

　　I feel like I'm just average, it's uninteresting and lacks passion.

　　I've been writing for years, but my skill level hasn't improved; instead, my ambition has. This has made me lose confidence.

　　But there's no way around it, I still have to write!

　　Let's continue on our way... To be honest, I'm not very confident.
