Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 1 Ultimate Character Card!
Two and a half months ago, the groundbreaking, massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) "Da Qian Hong Meng" launched its open beta.

Actually, several years before this, various brainwave-based immersive games had already appeared—the legendary gaming helmets and gaming pods, for example.
It only took 12 years for VR and AR games to evolve into brainwave immersive games.

However, at that time, no company was able to release a large-scale online game.

These are usually small games and single-player games with limited content; very few allow for multiplayer online play.

This is truly the first time I've seen a brainwave-immersive online game that boasts millions of players online simultaneously.

It started generating buzz three years ago, underwent closed testing a year and a half ago, and a second test six months ago before finally being opened to the public.

Moreover, due to some kind of mind acceleration technology, time in this game is much faster than in reality. It has only been two and a half months since the open beta started, but almost three years have passed in the game!

Isn't this practically extending lifespan?! How can we not play this game?!

However, that was two and a half months ago. Although he bought a gaming pod with the help of federal subsidies, Chen Xiuxian missed the first wave of the gaming craze due to work issues.

Now he has time—because he was laid off by his company when he was over 30!
Being laid off is common these days; it's good enough that he can make it to 30.

Otherwise, how could a game like "Da Qian Hong Meng," capable of accommodating millions of players simultaneously, have come about?

It is said that other companies will release four or five different types of brainwave immersive large-scale online games within six months to three years, just to give those who are unemployed a "place to use their skills"!

AI robots are so advanced now, you won't starve even if you don't work...

Chen Xiuxian, an AI robot technology tester, was actually forced to lose his job by his own creation?
It has a distinctly 23rd-century postmodern dark humor style.
……

Without further ado, Chen Xiuxian knew that he wouldn't be able to keep this job for long. The reason he didn't play games before was that the final handover of the work was very troublesome and he didn't have time.

But during that last week, he was quite free, spending his days browsing game forums for all sorts of information, guides, videos, and posts with pictures and text.

As the saying goes: play early and enjoy early, play late and enjoy discounts.

The first batch of players naturally got to enjoy the game first, and there's a good chance they'll remain in the top two tiers and experience the feeling of being superior in the game.

If a new player enters the game two and a half months later, they will definitely not be able to catch up with the top players.

But there are advantages too!

To balance the game progress of new and old players and enhance the gaming experience for new players, the game company has provided many benefits for them.

In addition, other platforms also offer many similar promotional benefits such as "redemption codes", "welfare packages", and "newcomer gifts".

Chen Xiuxian spent half a month collecting 18 "benefits," which can be described as accumulating little by little.

Although top players in the game seem to be approaching level 30, I have a huge "late-mover advantage"—I can use a lot of "character points" to create a character with a significant advantage in the early game!
Besides, you can read game guides from veteran players if you play later!
Learning by following the lead of veteran players~
Those experienced players know all the pitfalls they've encountered and the bargains they've gotten!
He's already come up with a character card based on several popular discussion posts on the forum.

"Da Qian Hong Meng" is a Xianxia game. It starts with martial arts content, but you will also encounter many low-level demons and monsters. In later major versions, the cultivation sects will be able to recruit disciples on a large scale.

However, both martial arts and cultivation have entry barriers.

Innate talent, comprehension, good fortune, spiritual root...

Some serendipitous encounters and magical connections also have entry requirements.

If the required values ​​aren't high enough, even if you encounter a special event, you won't be able to trigger it, which is extremely frustrating!

After a period of intense forum surfing, discussion, instigation, and screen snooping, Chen Xiuxian devised a very "unique" start for himself.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. How to earn your first pot of gold and avoid getting stuck and suffering in the early stages is a big question.

Chen Xiuxian had his eye on a "repeatable adventure"!
However, this adventure has particularly strange requirements and is quite risky, so most people choose the safer "sect-based" approach.

……

Chen Xiuxian lay down in the gaming pod, put on the gaming helmet, and as some metal plates touched his temples and the back of his head, he felt a slight jolt, and then "light" appeared in front of his eyes.

There was actually no light; rather, light appeared in his mind.

He seemed to have appeared in a place surrounded by chaos.

A pleasant electronic voice announced: "Welcome to the world of 'The Great Thousand Worlds'. You have not yet created a character. Please create one and start playing."

Chen Xiuxian: "Scanning body data."

"...Data scan complete."

"Start character creation..."

Chen Xiuxian made some alterations based on her own appearance, creating a sculpted version of herself that was a few years younger.

A young version of myself, dressed in coarse cloth and wearing a headscarf, appeared before my eyes!
"Start attribute throwing..."

Chen Xiuxian began to roll the dice again and again.

The game "Da Qian Hong Meng" has five innate attributes: physical constitution, comprehension, charm, fortune, and lifespan.

These five things are generally unchangeable—at least not in the early stages, unless there are some divine skills, secret techniques, miraculous elixirs, or rare treasures.

There are also five acquired attributes: arm strength, physique, agility, perception, and willpower.

This increases with leveling up, and the specifics depend on the player's playstyle, the skills they learn, and their character's experience.

When creating a character, the total number of the ten attributes remains constant—100 points.

If this is high, then that is low.

Chen Xiuxian kept randomly assigning attributes in order to achieve a high innate attribute, thus sacrificing the value of acquired attributes.

最后roll出了个满意的！    根骨14、悟性15、魅力16、福缘11、寿元6。

臂力6、体质7、灵敏9、感知9、意志7。

Although he was somewhat weak and frail, his innate attributes were truly excellent, only his lifespan was a bit short.

—A character's lifespan in the game is 10 times their lifespan.

Lifespan naturally decreases by 1 every year. Furthermore, character death and certain major injuries will also reduce lifespan. Once lifespan is exhausted, the character will be permanently deleted.

However, there are rumors on the forum that newly created characters can inherit some of the "legacy" of the previous character, essentially becoming reincarnations. It's unclear whether this is true or not.

There are also rumors that one can become a ghost cultivator...

However, it doesn't matter if your lifespan is short, you still have "free points" - officially called the Great Thousand Dao Rhyme!
This vast Daoist philosophy is the most important part of all the benefits he received!
Other things like basic medicines, small props, and silver are not worth mentioning.

This vast Daoist essence can be added to the attributes when creating a character, or it can be spent on the character's "talent attributes"!

For example: [Strong Bones and Muscles (Green)] +2 Arm Strength, +2 Constitution, +10% Health Recovery Speed.

Selecting this entry requires 3 points of Daqian Daoyun.

Originally, when creating a character, there were 10 points of Great Thousand Daoist Rhyme. One person could probably choose two green and one blue, or two white and one red.
Meanwhile, Chen Xiuxian kept joining official groups, participating in platform activities, and newcomer benefits... all the benefits were concentrated on one character, giving an extra 13 points!
That adds up to 23 points of the Great Thousand Daoist Rhyme!
First, add 4 points to lifespan to reach 10—then you'll have a lifespan of 100 years in the game.

In "The Great Thousand Primordial Chaos", the future path is to cultivate immortality, and without sufficient lifespan, one will certainly not go far.

I've heard that practicing certain immortal cultivation techniques can also increase lifespan in the game.

However, since the 1.68 version has only been updated recently, although a few people have joined cultivation sects by chance, only a very small number can join major sects and contribute enough sect contribution to cultivate high-level techniques.

Or perhaps a small group of top players already know, but they don't say anything.

Chen Xiuxian: How could top players be so mean?

Even if I find out what secret it is, I won't tell you, hehe~
……

"We won't add to the attributes after the day after tomorrow; we'll add them when we level up!"

Normally, if your acquired attributes are poor, your combat power will be very low.

You won't be able to beat the low-level monsters at the beginning, so getting started will be extremely difficult.

However, Chen Xiuxian already had a special plan~
Don't follow the usual path!
Use the remaining 19 points to select talent modifiers!
After surfing the forums for so long, Chen Xiuxian felt that talent attributes were truly the most important thing.

If attributes belong to "numerical values", then characteristic terms belong to "mechanisms".

Numerical values ​​are often the hard requirements, while the mechanisms they employ are quite subtle.

According to the previous plan, I need to accumulate a lot of innate attributes, especially charm and fortune.

Therefore, the entries should be selected with a focus on this aspect.

"It's said that everyone gets different talent attributes randomly, and some unlucky people don't even get a purple attribute. Meanwhile, some lucky ones get several orange attributes!"

However, even if an orange-level item were randomly obtained, most people wouldn't have enough Great Thousand Daoist Essence to purchase it.

Unless there are also grayed-out options available—negative effects, choosing one will conversely increase the effect of Qian Dao Yun.

That's about choosing the disadvantages to offset the advantages!

The required Daoist principles for a talent attribute are approximately:
Gray (-1 to -3)

白1
Green 2-3
Blue 3-4
Red 4-5
Purple 6-7
Orange 8-9
Gold 12+
I'm different; I have 19 free points!

If a legendary gold item really drops, I'll definitely be able to get it!

After several lines of talent attributes appeared before his eyes, Chen Xiuxian fell silent.

"No way, buddy, not a single gold one, fine, but what about orange? Not a single orange one?! And only two purple ones?! Holy crap~"

The only two purple-colored trait entries are:

[Celestial Reincarnation (Purple)]: Fortune +2, Lifespan +5, Acquired Attributes +2.

A person's essence, energy, and spirit are all inexhaustible. When essence is abundant, energy is plentiful; when spirit is full, the body is strong. Therefore, one's lifespan is long.

It requires 7 points of the Great Thousand Daoist Rhyme!
[Celestial Aura (Purple)]: Charm +10, Fortune +2, Lifespan -2, Constitution -2.

Her beauty shone brightly, yet her vitality was waning; her elegance was unparalleled, but her mortal body could not bear the weight of her divine countenance, and she was not destined to remain in this world for long.

6 points of the Great Thousand Daoist Rhyme!
We absolutely have to win this!
This is already the highest level of keyword I can choose!
后边还选了：【骨骼清奇（蓝）】3点、【灵心慧性（蓝）】3点、【意外之财（绿）】2点、【桃花劫（白）】1点、【多情种（白）】1点。

However, that doesn't give me enough points...

Chen Xiuxian thought for a moment, then silently subtracted the 4 points added to his lifespan back—perfect!
Anyway, the Celestial Reincarnation (Purple) grants +5 lifespan, and even the Celestial Aspect (Purple) grants -2 lifespan, there are still 3 points left; adding to the original 6 points...

90 years old is considered a long life!
Surely I'm not going to be 90 years old and still not reach level 50 and form the Core Formation?

Once one achieves "Core Formation," one's lifespan can be greatly increased.

Let's talk about it later~
Looking at the completed figure, Chen Xiuxian laughed three times: "Haha! I've succeeded, Daoist Master!"

"Then, I'll use this charm to win over that female ghost! Haha!"

This has never been such a wonderful start! Cheers to me! Applause to me!
　New car on the road, let's get started!
