Civilization Paradise

Chapter 8 Departure
The result was just a simple sentence, and there were no further announcements.

"Damn, it's gone silent already?"

"At least give us an introduction to the game and how to play!"

"Exactly, how are we supposed to play this? It's completely baffling."

"Tch, a bunch of idiots. Is he your father? Do you expect me to tell you everything? Can't you figure it out yourself?"

"What did you say!"

"Alright, stop arguing. Isn't there a beginner's tutorial inside the bracelet?"

"Humph!"

After complaining, many players at the scene raised their wristbands to check.

Long Ming then raised his hand and tapped the bracelet.

A blue virtual interface popped up, and a prompt appeared.

"Read the beginner's tutorial?"

"Yes!"

Long Ming clicked "yes" without hesitation. He had never played such a realistic game before. It felt just like reality, and he didn't know where to start.

Dear players: Civilization Paradise is a high-dimensional game. Players participating in this game will be born in Star City. All players are advised that any fighting is strictly prohibited in the Star City area, otherwise, they will be severely punished.

To enhance the player experience in the Civilization Paradise, each player will receive 10 Level 1 Civilization Random Experience Tickets. Players can use these tickets to travel to different civilization worlds via the spatial portal.

After entering the civilized world, players can follow the tasks issued by the system or freely explore the world to obtain valuable items. They only need to leave the world within the specified time.

In addition, each player is equipped with an initial backpack and a safe. However, please note that if you fail to evacuate the civilized world within the specified time or die during exploration, you will lose your initial backpack and all your equipment, but the items in the safe will not be lost.

Long Ming carefully read the beginner's tutorial, a puzzled look on his face.

Although he roughly understood the content of the beginner's tutorial, he was still a little uneasy.

However, Long Ming quickly calmed down, reached out and closed the tutorial, his gaze falling on the bracelet's operation interface.

The user interface displays categories such as character, dungeon, inventory, external warehouse, quest log, friends, and system.

Long Ming first selected a character.

Name: Civilization Explorer No. 841221 (Renamed)
Race: Carbon-based humans

Gene level: Level 0

Occupation: None
Strength: 5 points

Agility: 5 points

Stamina: 5 points

Intelligence: 5 points

Skill: Common Language (Passive)
Long Ming looked at his character's attributes; the initial data was quite standard.

However, he always felt that something was not quite right.

Long Ming frowned as he looked at his virtual body.

Then he suddenly realized that he was no longer coughing in this game world, and that his senses and physical abilities had improved, just like a normal person.

Long Ming also smiled; this game was pretty good.

He then opened the instance interface.

The screen displayed civilization categories from level 1 to 6. Clicking on each category revealed rows of grayed-out options, including the lowest level, level 1 civilization. Clearly, these instances were locked and required certain conditions to enter.

Long Ming pondered for a moment, then exited, his gaze falling on the backpack interface, where he clicked.

Backpack 1 (Safe)

How to use: Scan with wristband

Volume: 1*1*1
Note: You cannot drop items upon death.

Note: Players start with a weight limit of 20KG. Exceeding this limit will increase the rate at which stamina is consumed. The weight limit will vary as the character grows. Additionally, safes are not counted in weight.

Long Ming glanced at it, then opened the warehouse.

Inside the warehouse were ten initial backpacks and ten trial vouchers. Long Ming examined the backpacks.

Backpack (physical backpack)

Usage method: Carrying on the back

Dimensions: 35*20*45CM
Note: Death or failed evacuation results in the loss of all items.

Civilization Experience Ticket: Witness the deathly silence together and experience the wonderful thrill of death!

Long Ming then closed the interface and opened the task log to check.

The task list was empty.

He then opened the system, and the system interface had only one button: Logout from the game.

After checking all the functions, Long Ming tapped the bracelet and took out a backpack from the warehouse, instantly acquiring a regular 20L backpack. He then put on the backpack and took out a Level 1 Civilization Random Experience Ticket from the warehouse.

At this moment, a notification popped up on the bracelet.

"Activate Level 1 Civilization Random Experience Ticket? Using this ticket will randomly assign you a Level 1 Civilization instance."

After reading the information, Long Ming did not choose to activate it. Instead, he looked up and glanced around at the many players on the mechanical platform. He saw that most of the players were looking down at the beginner's tutorial in their bracelets.

He thought for a few seconds and then decided to enter the game later.

Most people are currently reading beginner tutorials, and everyone's reading speed is different.

However, those who read quickly and act immediately are likely either members of a guild or professional players.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that a small minority are just reckless fools.

If I act now, I'll most likely end up in line with them.

If a conflict breaks out, you won't have much of an advantage in a one-on-one situation, and you'll be at a greater disadvantage in a one-on-many situation.

So it's better to wait until later in the queue; you might get to see some regular people and also observe how others are doing.

A few minutes later, Long Ming noticed that many players started to take action. They took out their backpacks, put them on, and activated a Level 1 Civilization Random Experience Ticket.

Noisy!
Each experience voucher emitted a blue halo, then transformed into specks of starlight and scattered.

A faint halo of light emanated from the obelisk-shaped mechanical column at the center of the mechanical platform.

Many players slowly floated up.

shuh~
Immediately afterwards, the players turned into streaks of white light and disappeared.

"Wow!"

"Wow, that's awesome! Where were they teleported to?"

"I do not know."

The players around them all showed expressions of excitement and anticipation.

Many players, seeing others start the game, couldn't wait to take out their trial vouchers and activate them.

Long Ming suppressed his inner turmoil and waited quietly.

Time passes by second by second.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes had passed, and three-quarters of the players on the entire mechanical platform had activated their trial vouchers.

Seeing that it was about time, Long Ming raised the Level 1 Civilization Random Experience Scroll in his hand.

At this point, a prompt appears on the wristband interface.

"Activate Level 1 Civilization Random Experience Ticket?"

"Yes!"

Long Ming took a deep breath and said softly.

Swish!
As the trial voucher in his hand lit up, Long Ming felt himself enveloped in a white light.

When the white light dissipated, they found themselves on a small, top-shaped mechanical platform.

Players were everywhere on this small, top-shaped mechanical platform.

"what's the situation?"

Why were we teleported here?

"do not know."

"Idiot, look at the notification on the bracelet."

Long Ming then looked down at the bracelet interface, where he saw the following display.

Transmission platform number 432.

Unlock Civilization: Wabiga

Civilization Level: 1

Number of people: 845/1000.

Long Ming immediately understood when he saw the number of people rising rapidly.

The level 1 civilization world called Wabiga has 1000 participants.

The number quickly became 1000/1000.

Instantly, the patterns on the surface of the obelisk at the center of the small, top-shaped mechanical platform lit up, shimmering with dazzling light.

shuh~
Everyone on the entire mechanical platform was enveloped in white light.

Long Ming's surroundings turned into a white blur, and he could no longer see anything.
