Evil Immortal!

Chapter 65: Public Beta Begins, Players Arrive (Part Two)

"You haven't created a character yet, please name it!"

Zhang Wei quickly replied, "The wind and rain of Jiangnan!"

"Sorry, this ID is already taken!"

"The setting sun was like blood..."

""

"Sorry, this ID is already taken!"

"Wang Defa!"

"Sorry, this ID is already taken!"

"Grass!"

After trying six or seven names in a row, all of which were taken, Zhang Wei suddenly became furious. "Am I an idiot!"

"Sorry, this ID is already in use..."

'

'

"...Someone actually gave me a name like that."

Zhang Wei was truly speechless now, so he simply said, "Daily management of ten thousand foundations! The foundation of infrastructure!"

"ID naming successful!"

Finally, it was a success... Zhang Wei felt a slight sense of relief.

"Please adjust the pain level; players can choose within a range of 10% to 70%!"

Pain coefficient is a special feature in holographic online games. When players fight monsters or engage in PvP, the pain after being injured, and even everyday bumps, numbness, itching, and other sensations are transmitted to the player's nerves in a synchronized manner.

But this is just a game after all; it hurts too much for players to handle.

Without the sensation of pain, during PvP and monster battles, there are only rigid prompts on the panel. Once attacked, players are often slow to react, and they may not even notice a bite from a venomous snake in time, which is very detrimental to the gaming experience.

Therefore, more experienced players often choose to adjust the pain coefficient by more than 20%.

Experience the game to the fullest extent possible within the range of pain your body can tolerate.

"35%!"

Ding!

Congratulations! Your character creation was successful!

"Dear player, welcome to the game... There are two minutes left before the open beta begins, please wait patiently."

"The game's open beta has begun; player spawn locations are being randomly selected."

Ding!

"Starting location: Central Plains—Northwest Yunzhou—Linjiang Prefecture—Black Sand City—Yinliu Riverbank!"

"In ten seconds, the player will be reborn. Please prepare."

The next moment, Zhang Wei's vision blurred.

When he came to his senses, he found himself on the bank of a river.

The river is wide and meanders into the distance. The surface is relatively calm, but there are shadowy figures in the water, suggesting that some large fish are swimming around.

In the distance, one can vaguely see rolling mountains, towering majestically and reaching into the clouds, their lush greenery filling the view.

Towering ancient trees can be seen everywhere in the mountains, with ancient vines as thick as a bowl winding around them. Occasionally, the roars of unknown beasts and the calls of birds can be heard, creating a rugged yet vibrant wild scene. Looking into the distance, the scenery is picturesque and refreshing.

[System notification: Welcome to the world of evil immortals!]

Zhang Wei looked down and noticed that his clothes were quite simple, made of coarse cloth and sewn together. They felt rough against his skin and made it itchy. He couldn't tell whether it was comfortable or uncomfortable.

The slightly warm sunlight overhead filtered through the leaves and fell on his face.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a slight coolness that ruffled his clothes and even stirred the hairs on his arms.

"It feels so real!"

Zhang Wei was somewhat surprised. He first pinched his arm hard, and the sensation was no different from that in the real world; it even hurt a little.

He couldn't help but bend down and pick up a stone from the ground. The heavy feeling and the real texture of the stone surprised him.

With a casual toss, the stone was thrown into the river, splashing up a spray of water.

Startled, a small fish leaped out of the water, then fell back in, twisted its body, and swam away quickly.

The withered leaves, weeds, and stones on the ground beneath my feet, and the bushes and trees not far away, are all incredibly realistic. Every single detail is flawless and there is no trace of falsehood.

"No wonder Eternal Group calls the 'Evil Immortal' game a second world for humanity! It's practically indistinguishable from the real world..."

""

Zhang Wei looked around at all the details and felt that everything was so real, far more so than any other game he had ever played before.

Many other players also spawned nearby, curiously observing everything around them and discussing it amongst themselves.

"This game is so realistic! It feels almost identical to my real body, maybe even more robust!"

"Of course! Didn't you see the official promotional video? As long as there's no brain damage, even people with disabilities can have a healthy body in the game and start a new second life! Your body is stronger in the game, which only means your real body is too weak, suffering from all sorts of bad habits, especially handicrafts. Brother, you should quit..."

'

"Get out! We can't lose a craft that's been passed down for decades!"

"Damn it, where did I come from? Is this still the newbie village?"

"Dude, are you kidding me? Didn't you read the official beginner's guide on the forum? This game doesn't have any of those old-school MMORPG starting areas, nor does it have any game hints or player guides. Instead, it adopts a rare free exploration mode. Players have a high degree of freedom. Once you enter the game, if you want to grow stronger, change jobs, or become an immortal, you need to explore everything around you on your own, step by step!"

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

'

"This place is clearly in the wild, it must be very dangerous. I think we should first find a nearby human settlement, contact the NPCs, figure out the current situation, and then consider fighting monsters, leveling up, and triggering quests..."

"That makes sense!"

After listening to these people's words, Zhang Wei seemed to be deep in thought. He casually opened the panel and saw: [Daily Management]: Grayish-white Ordinary (Player)

[Race]: Human [Level]: Tier 0 [Class]: None [Health Points]: 50/50

Status: Normal.

[Cultivation Technique]: None [Equipment]: None [Experience]: None [Hunger Value]: 99/100

The panel is simple, but easy to understand. "There's even a hunger meter."

Zhang Wei was somewhat surprised. "Won't I starve to death once my hunger points are depleted?"

A young, long-haired player next to him struggled to take off his pants, but no matter how hard he pulled, they wouldn't budge, as if welded to his body. He looked utterly disappointed: "What kind of lousy game is this? I can't even take my pants off!"

Zhang Wei was terrified. What did this guy want to do in the game?

After struggling for a while, the player had no choice but to give up on taking off his pants. He turned around, saw Zhang Wei, and his eyes lit up. He walked over and said, "Brother, what a coincidence!"

"I don't think I know you."

Zhang Wei was puzzled.

"You don't know me, but I feel like we have a special connection."

The player pointed to his ID above his head, where four large characters glowed white: Strongman Locks Up Men!

Zhang Wei, recalling his nickname "Daily Work of Ten Thousand Bases," suddenly turned pale. His gaze towards the other person changed, now filled with horror. He instinctively took a few steps back. "Dude, I think you've misunderstood... I chose this name just by chance..."
