You'll become a god, you'll create Earth ONLINE

"Damn, I've been hit by a debuff."

Zhao Lei's face looked rather grim.

"This dog is more serious than the system; its health bar is really dropping. If it reaches zero, I guess I'm really done for."

These words immediately made the atmosphere in the dormitory heavy again.

The excitement of escaping death and even feeling a little thrill was instantly extinguished by half.

This isn't like spending all night grinding in an internet cafe, where you can respawn and run back to your corpse if you die. Here, you only have one life!

"Quick, check your profile panel! The system just notified me that your profile panel has been unlocked!"

Su Hao immediately realized what was happening.

With a thought, a detailed properties box immediately popped up on the light blue UI interface in his field of vision:

[Player: Su Hao]

[Rank: Lv.1]

[Experience Points: 15/100] (85 points needed to reach the next level)

Occupation: None

[HP: 100/100]

[Sanity: 90/100] (Slightly frightened, sanity decreases; hallucinations will occur when sanity falls below 50.)

[Strength: 6] (The standard value for an adult male is 5. You are slightly stronger than the average person, which may be due to years of carrying packages.)

Agility: 5 (Average reaction speed.)

[Body Condition: 5] (Not having a beer belly is your last stand.)

[Intelligence: 7] (Although your advanced mathematics grades often hover around the passing mark, your brain is indeed a little sharper than the average person.)

[Talent: Unawakened (Requires reaching Lv.5 or using a specific item to unlock)]

"This panel... it really exposes everything."

Su Hao looked at the sarcastic remarks in parentheses and his lips twitched twice.

Isn't this system's AI a bit too talkative?

What does it mean to say that not having a beer belly is the last stand?

"Third brother, Fatty, what are your stats?" Su Hao asked, turning his head.

"My strength is only 4! Damn it! The system says I'm in a sub-healthy state, not even reaching the standard value!"

Chen Fei, with a mournful face, shook his thin arms and legs.

"They gave me a 6 for agility, saying I should be pretty fast at running away."

Fatty Wang stared at his screen and fell into a long silence.

"Fatty? What's wrong? Did you disconnect?"

Chen Fei waved his hand in front of his eyes.

Fatty Wang took a deep breath and raised his head in grief and indignation.

"This damn system is discrimination based on appearance! Why is my constitution 7, and the note says, 'Your fat may be disgusting, but it does provide decent cushioning when you're getting hit'?! That's practically a personal attack!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense!"

Zhao Lei, clutching his thigh, interrupted them.

"My health bar has dropped to 91! Fatty, hurry up and check what's in that treasure chest! Are there any bandages or hemostatic medicine?"

Then everyone refocused their attention on the white-glowing "Newbie Survival Blind Box" on the floor.

The small wooden box is only the size of a palm and looks like a cheap jewelry box that you can buy for ten dollars for three at a street stall.

Fatty Wang swallowed hard, reaching out to touch it: "Then I'll open it! Brothers, it's time to show off my incredible luck with single pulls!"

"Get lost!"

Chen Fei slapped Wang Pangzi's fat hand away.

"You're the ultimate unlucky player who gets ridiculously bad luck even on the pity pull in Genshin Impact, and you expect me to open chests?"

"If we find a 'cockroach leg' or a 'moldy bread' inside, the boss will be dead from tetanus today!"

"I call that a 'padded knife'! Do you even know what a 'padded knife' is?!"

The fat man panicked.

"Alright, stop arguing."

Zhao Lei waved his hand weakly.

"Fourth brother, you start. You were the one who landed that last 'physical exorcism', and the system even gave you the extra experience for the critical hit. You've basically soloed this monster, so you're definitely the luckiest player."

Su Hao nodded without refusing. Now was not the time for politeness; Zhao Lei's leg was still bleeding.

He took a deep breath, squatted down, and placed his hand on the white wooden treasure chest.

"Ding!"

[Player Su Hao is detected opening the 'Newbie Survival Blind Box (White)'...]

[In progress: 3…2…1…]

With a three-second countdown, the lid of the wooden treasure chest popped open automatically with a "snap".

There were no dazzling, blinding special effects; just a very faint white light flashed by. The treasure chest vanished in specks of light, leaving behind two items.

A small glass test tube filled with red liquid, about the size of the kind used for blood draws in hospitals. Also, two hard biscuits wrapped in clear plastic.

Congratulations to the player who has won:

[1. Basic Healing Potion (White Quality) x1: This stuff tastes like expired strawberry syrup, but it instantly restores 20 health points and removes abnormal statuses such as bleeding and minor poisoning at level 3 and below.]

[2. Compressed biscuits (unrefined) x2: Provides a very strong feeling of fullness. Chewing them dry can easily cause choking; it is recommended to consume them with water.]

"The medicine! It really came out! Holy crap, fourth brother, you've got amazing luck!"

Fatty Wang excitedly patted Su Hao on the shoulder.

Su Hao quickly picked up the bottle of basic healing potion and handed it to Zhao Lei.

"Boss, drink up!"

Zhao Lei didn't hesitate; he pulled out the cork from the top of the test tube, tilted his head back, and poured it into his mouth.

"Smack smack..."

Zhao Lei smacked his lips.

"You know what, the system wasn't lying to me. It really does taste like expired strawberry syrup, with a hint of Chinese medicine."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a miracle occurred.

A faint green light appeared around the wound on Zhao Lei's thigh, which was more than ten centimeters long and still bleeding.

Immediately afterwards, the muscle tissue seemed to be fast-forwarded, visibly beginning to wriggle and heal.

Less than ten seconds.

The deep wound that had exposed flesh had completely disappeared, leaving not even a scar, only a smooth patch of skin and dried bloodstains on the pants as proof that the injury had occurred.

"Holy crap..."

"This is a medical miracle!"

Chen Fei and Fatty Wang stared wide-eyed, their jaws practically dropping to the ground.

Zhao Lei was so shocked that he stood up and even jumped around a couple of times, feeling no pain at all.

He glanced at his panel; the debuff that had been causing him to lose health had disappeared, and his health had returned to full [100/100].

"This is amazing..."

Zhao Lei touched his thigh and muttered to himself.

"Brothers, this world... is probably really going to change."

Holding the two hard, compressed biscuits in his hand, Su Hao walked to the balcony and looked at the glass door that had been smashed to pieces.

Outside, the summer night wind, carrying waves of heat, blew in, and the air was still filled with that nauseating, fishy stench.

"This is not a prank, nor is it a dream."

Su Hao said in a deep voice

"The system, the data panel, the equipment drops from killing monsters, and the instant healing potions. These things defy all the common sense of physics."

"So... what should we do now?"

Fatty Wang swallowed hard and looked around.

"Should we call the police?"
