Chapter 1 1 Entered The "New World"
"Do you want to feel the charm of the metaverse? Please enter the 'New World'!"
"'New World' is a game that collects the top technology at present, with 100% realism and a trading system that could interface with the real world, bringing all players an unprecedented experience!"
"There are only ten minutes left before the opening of the global server of the 'New World'!"
"Let's get ready!"
"Welcome to the 'New World'!"
In a rented apartment in Los Angeles, America.
A young man named Jack is staring at the game advertisement on the computer screen curiously.
"In other words, the money earned in the game can be exchanged for the real-world currency? Is there such a good game?"
Looking at the game advertisement, Jack was a little suspicious, but he still looked forward to it.
As a recently graduated student, Jack comes to Los Angeles alone to earn his living.
However, due to the sudden outbreak of the Covid-19, Jack had not found a suitable job so far, and his life is getting more and more embarrassed.
Even now the place he lives in was a small and remote apartment rented with others.
"Hey, Jack, are you awake?"
Suddenly, someone is knocking on the door.
"Hi, Alice. What's up?"
Jack hurried to answer the door, only to find that the person knocking was his roommate, Alice.
And the apartment not only housed him and Alice but also Alice's two sisters, Kylie and Lilly.
The three girls had also just graduated from university and came to Los Angeles to look for a job.
But like Jack, they had not found a job yet.
"Jack, do you know there is a game called 'New World' that came out recently?"
Alice asked Jack excitedly as soon as he opened the door.
"The 'New World'? Oh! Is it the game whose trading system could dock with the real world?"
Jack felt surprised at first, but he soon understood.
He guessed that Alice and her sisters must also want to play this game.
And he also found that Alice was wearing very strange, metallic, tight-fitting silver and white clothing, her chest was also marked with the words 'New World'.
"Yes, it's the game. I guess you will be interested in it, too. So I get a set of equipment for you to play the game."
After saying that, Alice handed Jack a set of silver clothes and a silver helmet.
"Put it on quickly. The game will start soon. I'm going back to my room!"
After giving another admonition to Jack, Alice runs towards the living room excitedly.
"Thank you!"
Jack thanked her and hurried back to his room.
He also wanted to play this game, but he did not expect that Alice would bring him the game equipment.
Jack quickly put on the suit.
The silver suit wrapped Jack up from his neck to his feet, and there was a lot of sensor in it.
"And this helmet!"
After putting on all the clothes, Jack lay on the bed and was ready to enter the 'New World'!
"There is still one last minute before the global server of the 'New World' opens!"
"59 seconds!"
"..."
"3 seconds!"
"2 seconds!"
"One second!"
"The 'New World' starts!"
"Binding game devices for players..."
"Scanning players' information..."
"Registering a game account for the players..."
"Congratulations, player: Jack Dawson, you have successfully registered a New World game account!"
"Please set your game nickname."
Through the game helmet, Jack suddenly saw a holographic game board in front of him.
And he only needed to use his consciousness to control the game board.
"Invincible Hulk!"
Jack hesitated for a moment and gave himself the nickname.
Because his favorite superhero was the invincible Hulk!
"Successfully set the nickname!"
"Welcome to the 'New World'!"
Then, the board in front of Jack suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings became empty.
It was as if he had entered a black hole.
...
"Invincible Hulk, this is your newborn place, Orlando Town!"
"You will start the adventure of the new world from here. Good luck!"
When Jack heard these two words, his eyes gradually lit up.
Jack found himself standing in a corner of a square.
In the center of the square stood a huge giant sculpture.
On the head of the statue, there was a sign showing "Orlando".
And the buildings around the square, obviously in the style of the middle ages, with stone castles and wooden houses, were indeed the structure of a small town.
"This is too real!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jack could not help but marvel at it.
The slate under his feet, the smell of soil in the air, and the birds flying in the sky were all so real.
It was so real that Jack didn't even think he was in the game at all.
"Wow, the game is actually as advertised, with 100% realism!"
"My God, is this your new world?"
"I didn't expect that we humans can make such a realistic game. This is called the epoch-making game!"
"All that holographic games and VR games are shit in front of this game!"
Not only Jack was surprised, but the other players in the square also exclaimed.
At this time, there was a sudden noise in front of them, and a group of players surrounded there.
Jack was curious and ran over.
"This dagger is mine!"
"How can you prove that it is yours? Now in my hand, it is mine!"
It turned out that two players were arguing over a tiny, rusty dagger with a rusty blade.
"This dagger is mine. Give it back to me!"
The middle-aged man with short red hair and a short stature rushed angrily towards a fat man with a beard.
And the fat man, with the dagger in his hand, was not the least bit intimidated.
He met the red-haired man rushing in the direction, fiercely stabbing forward with his dagger.
The dagger was stabbed directly into the chest of the red-haired man.
"Ah!"
The red-haired man wailed and fell directly into the pool of blood.
At the same time, a message popped up on Jack's left corner.
"Player: Madman" was killed by "Player: Arthur123"!
Then, the red-haired man lying in the blood suddenly disappeared.
This stunned the other players around.
Even though it was just a game, the painful screams of the red-haired man confirmed to everyone that this game was 100% real, including pain!
Thinking of this, Jack immediately opened his attribute panel.
"Character"
"Player: Invincible Hulk"
"Level: Lv.1 (0/20)"
"HP: 100/100"
"Mana: 10/10"
"STR: 0"
"INT: 0"
"AGL: 0"
"DEF: 0"
"Property Points to Be Allocated: 10"
Jack then started adding all the property points to defense!
