Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Tiana sighed beside Jiang Si, "This is part of a sales strategy, but will such a low-level provocation really work? Even if you don't go down the path of cunning, an ordinary person probably wouldn't fall for it..."

"Give me a gaming pod."

Both inside and outside the venue fell silent.

Everyone stared in shock at Jiang Si, who calmly announced that she wanted to acquire a gaming pod.

The manager's expression instantly shifted from disdain to a smile. "This is a real customer, Xiao Lan. Open a loan account for him..."

"No need," Jiang Si said dismissively. "You're so snobbish! I don't need a loan, I want to pay in full!"

Everyone present gasped, almost raising the temperature in the market!

"Uh, this doesn't make sense, Master. What does this have to do with the Way of the Dead?"

“Look closely into their eyes.”

With Jiang Si's reminder, Tiana, who shared vision through the magic of rock candy, quickly looked around and then became respectful.

"They all looked at you like you were an idiot or a sucker! Especially the manager and the salesperson, they weren't just mocking you, they even seemed to pity you!"

Jiang Si's lips curled into a smile. "That's right, this is the second level of Gou Dao Liu. Everyone treats you like an idiot and a sucker, and doesn't take you seriously at all. The first thing they think of when they think of you is that you're mentally challenged. So they will never doubt that you can accomplish anything great!"

"I'm still not very good at pretending to be a pig and eating feed, Master..."

"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan; only after hardship comes happiness."

"I fear that after all the bitterness has passed, the sweetness that follows will be like swill..."

This child is beyond redemption.

When the game pod was finally purchased in full, the expressions of disdain that had initially been directed at the customer as a sucker and an idiot gradually turned into a hint of envy.

I've been mining for so long, isn't it all so I can come in and enjoy myself?

Otherwise, the Ten Mile Slope Mine God would be meaningless.

"Sir, you can enter the VIP channel to play the game."

"At the same time, since you purchased the game pod, you have obtained the qualification to stay in an exclusive private room and a discount. The original monthly rent of 10,000 is now only 9,000 virtual currency to get your exclusive game room..."

"lead the way."

In reality, the environment inside this assessment space looks no different from the surrounding mines.

Seats were laid out in layers, and once everyone put on their helmets, they looked just like miners.

In traditional online game novels, there are low-level professions that simply involve farming gold coins in the game, which is similar to mining.

Jiang Si, who had endured all the way and survived until now, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

For him, suppressing himself was indeed a very difficult thing; such a thing as escapism truly requires great perseverance and willpower.

However, once you enter the private room and dive into the game pod, everything can finally come to an end.

Upon opening the game, pleasant sounds filled the virtual space:

Welcome new players! Please select the server you wish to join. Currently popular servers include: Wandu's Amusing Journey Bar Welcome You Server, Haoyuan VS11 Extraordinary Server, Zuan Potato Server, etc.

If you wish to choose a new server, a new server will open in three minutes.

Here it comes: the classic new server launch segment from online game novels!

Jiang Si clicked on the grayed-out new server without hesitation.

Whether it's a newly released game or an old online game launching a new server, it's something all players will do: frantically click to join before the server opens.

Many early adopters of online games encountered a custom bug at this point, allowing them to enter the game early and obtain powerful cheats.

They seized the initiative.

The so-called first-mover advantage is the foundation of immortality. Remember when Lord Grim took a year off and managed to snag the [Thousand Chance Umbrella] in the most advanced new server and used it to build his foundation in [The King's Avatar]?

Later, the God of War returns and steps into the world battlefield, sweeping away past enemies with a Thousand Chance Umbrella. The scene where he tramples the Excellent Era Guild, who betrayed him at the beginning of the story and forced him to jump off a cliff, is not only thrilling, but the ending where he achieves the Primordial Golden Core through martial arts, ascends to the Heavenly Realm, and resurrects Su Muqiu by sacrificing the Heavenly Emperor who plotted to kill his brothers is also a classic...

Three minutes passed in a flash. Although no bugs were triggered, Jiang Si was already feeling excited.

Once you enter the server, skip all the world-building, content, and CGs!

I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

In short, let's start by going on a killing spree.

However, a dialog box popped up as soon as I clicked skip.

[Skipping the content once costs 10 Ruin Coins. If you want to skip all subsequent story content, we recommend the monthly subscription service, which costs only 6,000 Ruin Coins and allows you to skip unlimited content within a month...]

One step behind leads to another, and the advantage of paying players is something that free-to-play players can never reach!

Jiang Si opted for a full monthly subscription.

Once inside, before I could even move, the character attribute chart slammed into my face like a waterfall!

[Character: Unaware of the surprise.]

[Level: 11 (Game Pod Newbie Gift Pack Upgrade)]

【属性：力量5敏捷5智力5体质5感知5魅力3】

[Health volume: 150]

[Defense: 5 (Defense Power 22%)]

Attack: 5 (Accuracy: 20)

[Toughness: 6]

……

After the rows of data were listed, Jiang Si finally remembered why she hadn't read any more online game novels back then.

The data flow section alone takes up most of a chapter!

A pile of data immediately cooled his enthusiasm.

Because online game novels have been dead for so long, people tend to reminisce about them only by remembering their good points.

Only after actually getting to know them did I realize all those messy flaws, which completely demystified them...

After closing the attribute table, Jiang Si calmed down and said, "Open the backpack."

The initial backpack only has three slots; the rest require spending money.

Jiang Si didn't care much and went to buy some healing items first.

After all, the characteristic of holographic games is that a person's physical condition affects the game character to a certain extent.

You can control the game character with your own body and crush the strength of those who spend money through skill.

Jiang Si also has absolute confidence in her physical body.

The game is very simple: you enter the beginner village, and after completing the beginner village dungeon, you can officially enter the Ruins of Struggle.

While everyone else was still watching the cutscenes and following the storyline, Jiang Si, being a wealthy player, was the first to skip both the cutscenes and the storyline, giving her a first-mover advantage and preparing to secure the first kill...

Please prepare your weapons.

You cannot enter the wilderness dungeon in the beginner village without equipping weapons.

The cheapest weapon costs over a hundred Refinement Coins, and if you want to buy a weapon, you also need to buy armor, which costs several thousand Refinement Coins.

Please purchase a dungeon ticket.

The outdoor dungeons themselves are not free; you have to pay to enter them.

The dungeon story is essential content and cannot be skipped, but you can watch ads to speed it up...

Watching ads doesn't cost money.

When Jiang Si finally stepped into the dungeon, picked up her sword, and began slashing at the low-level monsters, the screen flickered again.

[Do you want to purchase insurance services?]

[Do you want to watch the ad to skip the battle?]

[Automatic route finding service...]

By the time Jiang Si killed the first monster, he was already drenched in sweat.

[Insufficient attributes to open the door from this side.]

[Attribute package sales service...]

Having lived for several decades, this was probably the first time Jiang Si had truly experienced what it meant to struggle to move forward.

Every step is a pitfall; everything requires spending Ruin Coins, or it's just ads.

Step by step, Jiang Si was constantly interrupted by various sales pitches and offers of services, but in the end, she finally let go of her resentment.

He looked up at the rows of dialog boxes that required him to click and confirm, and laughed.

"I just want to quietly survive until Chongxu, why are you forcing me?"

Why are you forcing me?!

The terrifying personal reality is spreading like a virus within the game space, even altering the data of the entire horror park!

Gou Daoliu?

A pile of excrement, the true path should be the ultimate path!

"System, give me some points!"

With a powerful mind and body, he begins to tear apart the entire horror park!

When Jiang Si slowly pried open the gate of Chongxu, she saw Sula waiting to meet them outside.

"Wow……"

Sura blinked, watching Jiang Si squeeze in little by little, and paused her smoking.

He then scratched his head and looked up at the sky above Chongxu.

A red alarm blared, and countless magical girl-like beings swarmed across the sky like flies!

"Baby, this has really gotten a bit out of hand. Can I run away? Of course, if you let me kiss you later, I can still help you..."
