Chapter 781 A Strange World
More than fifty people were trapped?
Luo Jun frowned. He knew that the entire main world only had around a million cultivators, of whom only about ten thousand were at the Condensation Realm or higher. Of those, only about half were officially affiliated with the government, and even fewer were still on the front lines as explorers. According to Mu Lanshi, these fifty-odd people were all experts, including six peak-level cultivators and one Ascension Realm cultivator. This lineup was something that, apart from the three major organizations, probably no other official organization could muster…

Luo Jun flipped through the list of trapped people, and there were several familiar faces among them.

For example, a delicate girl with a ponytail, bright eyes, and a bright smile looks young, probably in her early twenties. If you only look at her ID photo, you might think she is a slender and energetic young woman.

But Luo Jun had a deep impression of this face, and the name next to the photo reinforced his memory.

Duan Feilan, a cultivator I once saw in the Miracle Chess Game, has a delicate face, but is actually a fierce woman who is nearly 1.9 meters tall... Of course, Duan Feilan is not the kind of big, muscular woman; her overall figure is rather slender. However, her tall stature, coupled with her low body fat percentage, gives her a powerful aura, much like a track and field athlete.

Was she originally an explorer of the Yuan Cultivation Society...? Luo Jun remembered that when she fought Liu Moyan, although she lost the first move, she still managed to seriously injure Liu Moyan, which showed that her strength was indeed not weak.

Besides her, there was another face from the Miracle Chess Game. He was a bald man in his forties. Luo Jun remembered that his name was Zong Zhiyong. He had a good relationship with Jin Fei and was a martial arts master with solid skills.

In addition, Luo Jun also saw Mu Ning, who had done missions with him in Utopia. This girl was a master of the Insight School. In her ID photo, the iconic eye patch was removed, revealing a pair of disproportionately large silver eyes.

In addition, there is Zheng Yunshan, whom I met during the mission in Shiqiao Town. He is a shapeshifter in his fifties and an experienced explorer.

Seeing these familiar faces, Luo Jun couldn't help but sigh. He had met quite a few experts this year, probably over a hundred with whom he had just done missions. However, he had always used the identity of "Night" when he met them before, so he guessed that while he recognized them, they wouldn't recognize him.

After a half-hour flight, the plane arrived at Summer Moon Island and landed slowly at the test site.

Summer Moon Island is home to a joint research team composed of cultivators from multiple countries, mainly from the three major organizations. With Mu Lanshi's help in negotiations, Luo Jun quickly arrived at the thirteenth door.

Compared to the other doors, this one is noticeably different.

Firstly, because it was discovered not long ago, no complete facilities have been built in front of the door. The door is still in the open, with only simple facilities built nearby for people to change clothes, store items, and place equipment to monitor the door's status.

Secondly, although the door also presents the shape of a starry sky, the starlight on it flows at a speed visible to the naked eye, and obvious fluctuations can be seen on the edge of the door. Compared with other doors, although this door has been stabilized by midnight, its condition is still not particularly stable.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why people who go in can't get out.

"This is where you change your clothes." The researchers led Luo Jun and Mu Lanshi to a temporary house next to the door. "You can store your personal belongings inside before you go in. Also, if you don't have any clothing-related magical artifacts, we can provide some to cover your body. Of course, they are all low-grade white or green ones, with almost no special effects and poor protection. They are only to prevent you from being naked when you pass through the door."

Luo Jun did have some extreme underwear, but since he was getting a free treasure, he decided to get a tracksuit and wear it over his extreme underwear.

With everything prepared, Luo Jun stood before the Gate of the World, secretly taking out his Fate-Sniffing Glasses to assess the probability of surviving after passing through the gate. The result showed that the difficulty was 0 points.

In other words, there was indeed no danger in passing through this door, and Wan Guiyuan's divination was correct.

But once you go in, it's hard to say whether you'll be able to get out.

But since it's a puzzle-solving mission, Luo Jun is confident. Not to mention his already powerful strength, the Heavenly Secret Dice alone is a magical tool for solving all kinds of puzzles and guessing probabilities.

"Xiao Mu, is he really reliable?" Looking at Luo Jun standing in front of the door, an older researcher from the Yuan Cultivation Society asked with some concern.

Clearly, the researchers on these islands also recognized Luo Jun, the champion of the Tianyuan Tournament. However, in their minds, this kid was still just a student, not even at his peak yet. He won the championship through sheer luck and an ridiculously powerful treasure. Sending a student to such an unknown mission seemed a bit like child's play.

"Well..." Mu Lanshi's eyes also showed a hint of worry: "But the president and Elder Zheng trust him very much."

"The president is really something, sending such a young upstart to do such a dangerous mission." The researcher shook his head.

"Hey, I heard you all!" Luo Jun suddenly turned around and shouted.

The researcher coughed awkwardly, and Mu Lanshi stepped forward: "Everyone is just concerned about you... Are you really sure?"

Luo Jun nodded: "I have nothing to say, so I'm leaving."

"Okay, be careful in everything." Mulan Shi instructed, "The president said that the others inside are still alive. After you go in, find the others and meet up. With the Ice Queen protecting you, you are at least safe."

"Don't worry." Luo Jun smiled, took a deep breath, and stepped into the huge gate to another world.

The moment he stepped inside, the door suddenly shook violently, and the nearby research instruments all sounded alarms.

"What's going on?" Mu Lanshi also noticed something was wrong. She turned to look at the researchers, who were all staring at the equipment in disbelief. They exclaimed in surprise, "No... how could this be? We've never observed this indicator before!"

"What exactly is this..." Before Mu Lanshi could figure out what was going on, suddenly, the door widened abruptly, and at the same time, a huge suction force came, actually swallowing Mu Lanshi who was closest to it...

The researchers were astonished by what they saw and frantically tried to stabilize the gate that had been mutated. But just then, the gate stabilized on its own, and the star map on it slowly rotated, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

…………

The moment Luo Jun stepped through the door, he felt his entire body enveloped by a strange power, which was also merging with his body.

Is this some kind of modification?
Luo Jun keenly sensed that this power seemed to want to change his body, but he had no way to resist it. Moreover, the process was fleeting, and by the time he realized it, he was already in a dilapidated thatched hut.

"Where is this..." Luo Jun looked around. It was a small room of only a dozen square meters, with only a bed, a stove, a table, and two chairs. One of the table legs was short, propped up with a brick. On the tabletop was a chipped ceramic bowl. Straw hats and tattered clothes hung on the walls. Sunlight streamed in through the broken window, illuminating the dust in the room under the Tyndall effect, giving it an ancient and rustic feel.

This place looks like a house in an ancient mountain village. Because it is so simple, you can't tell any civilized style from the furnishings and clothes.

"It came from the door, not directly in front of the door?" Luo Jun looked down at himself and found that he was wearing a set of coarse cloth clothes. The white sportswear he had worn when he came was gone.

“A treasure… could it be…” Luo Jun was startled. He touched his wrist and found that the treasure box was still there, but he couldn’t open it at all!

What's going on? The whole world has sealed away its treasures?
Luo Jun frowned. This completely unknown world was indeed quite special.

Seeing nothing noteworthy inside, Luo Jun went to the door and tried to push it open to go out.

But just then, a huge pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Player is about to leave the spawn point. Please select your new player benefits."

Player? Newbie?
Luo Jun was completely bewildered. How did it turn out like a game?
At this moment, five options appeared before you. Eye of Insight (Basic): Active ability, allows you to view the health and mana percentages of other players, consumes five mana to activate, no cooldown.

Shield of Defense (Basic): Active ability. Generates a shield that can block any damage, up to 100 points. Activation costs 10 mana and has a 10-minute cooldown.

Piercing Arrow (Basic): Active ability. Generates an energy arrow that ignores armor to attack the opponent, dealing 100 damage. Activation costs 10 mana and has a 10-minute cooldown.

Healing Touch (Basic): Active ability. When activated, it can immediately heal the target it touches for 100 health points. Activation costs 10 mana. Cooldown is 30 minutes.

Swift Wind (Basic): Active ability. Increases maximum movement speed by 10 points for 5 minutes after activation. Activation costs 10 mana. Cooldown is 10 minutes.

…………

"Once you leave the spawn point, the newbie benefits you choose cannot be changed. These benefits may be upgraded into more powerful abilities as you progress through your adventures. Please choose carefully based on your own attributes and abilities."

"Tutorial: Players can summon their basic interface using a specific command."

"Battle Body: Summoning Attribute Interface"

"Arsenal: Summon Equipment Interface"

"Divine Power: Summoning Skill Interface"

…………

"There's even an attribute interface? It's starting to feel more and more like a game!" Luo Jun complained, and actually tried it out.

"Battle Body!"

As he uttered the command, a new interface appeared before him.

Level: 1

life value:? ? ?

Mana:? ? ?

Stamina: ? ? ?

Attack power (unarmed): ? ? ?

Armor value (no armor): ? ? ?

Armor value (Qi): 0 points

Movement speed: 0 points

Blessing: None
Abnormal status: none

.........

This series of information was shoved directly into Luo Jun's face. There were not only texts, but also accompanying icons. The most obvious one was the three equal-length bars, one red, one blue, and one white, which clearly represented health, mana, and stamina.

However, apart from the Qi Armor and movement speed, what does it mean that everything else is marked with question marks?
Not only those shown above, but there are also various types of resistances under the attribute realm, such as cold, fire, lightning, illusion and a whole bunch of others, and Luo Jun's values ​​are all question marks.

Thinking about his own dice system, the life value here should correspond to constitution and strength, the mana value should correspond to vitality or mental strength, and the stamina value is obviously a comparison to endurance... As a saint, these basic attributes are clearly excessive, but the values ​​are probably too large to be displayed...

As for the protective aura armor, I currently have no aura, so zero points is reasonable. As for speed...

Luo Jun tried taking two steps, and as he moved, the speed indicator changed, from 0 to 2, then 3, constantly fluctuating.

It seems the movement speed is displayed dynamically... What about the attack power? It doesn't show zero even though there's no attack happening right now, so is it calculated as the maximum value?
Luo Jun's unarmed attack power is enough to destroy Yu Hua, so it's reasonable that the stats are overpowered.

What Luo Jun cared about even more was the highest level.

I'm currently at level one. What will I get after upgrading?

In games, leveling up naturally increases attributes, but if simply leveling up increases attributes, then wouldn't there be no need for cultivation in this world?

There are still many questions. Luo Jun retrieved the attribute list, shouted "Arsenal", and summoned the equipment slot.

This interface is divided into two parts. The left side is a square grid, divided into one hundred squares horizontally and vertically, which is currently empty. Obviously, this corresponds to the inventory in the game.

On the right, there are humanoid icons, and each part of the human body corresponding to the icon has an equipment slot where you can put the corresponding equipment.

Compared to the games Luo Jun had played, this equipment system was much more detailed. In addition to the usual tops, pants, shoes, hats, and weapons, there were also underwear and outerwear, capes, masks, glasses, belts, gloves, socks, and even rings. You could wear up to ten rings on each of your ten fingers. The thumb ring was different from the others and was called a thumb ring, which was a separate category of accessories.

As for the accessories on the head and face, in addition to necklaces, there are also headbands and earrings... Luo Jun even saw an equipment slot on the nose. Could it be that one can get a nose ring?

Although it looked lively, Luo Jun currently only had a pair of underwear, a coarse cloth shirt and pants, and a pair of cloth shoes. After investigation, these items were all of the lowest quality (grayish), providing only 1 point of cold resistance and no other attributes.

After closing the equipment interface, Luo Jun shouted "Divine Power" and brought up the skill interface again.

Compared to the previous one, this interface is much cleaner, with only two lines: "Energetic Armor" and "Soaring Moon".

Upon seeing these two lines, Luo Jun frowned and opened his dice panel.
