Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

Those sharp, heavy snowflakes fell from the sky just as the archers arrived.

The opponent was solid and took all the attacks without being able to respond.

The healer next to him hurriedly picked up his staff and wanted to use skills to support his teammates.

Unfortunately, he was a novice and did not add a life shield to his companions at the beginning, or pre-read a charged healing skill.

Yu Man also prepared a move for him. After the previous attack was over, she ran forward and closed the distance.

The third skill's freezing ability is enough to play a big role as there is enough water around them.

With ease, Yu Manfroze the therapist's hand—and then his mouth.

Although the effect of this move is very weak due to the high magic resistance, it interrupts the opponent's skill release.

This tiny gap was enough for her to charge a powerful cone of ice and attack the archer who was trying to use the healing potion from a close, yet unavoidable distance.

Her hand raised the staff straight up, and the ice cone condensed at its tip was so strong that it even trembled slightly.

Without hesitation, the magic fulfilled its master's wish and pierced through the enemy's head.

Like the broken ice scattered along the way as an icicle hurtles along.

The archer was so frightened that he fell face down into the ice and snow and remained motionless.

Achievement: Outlaw

Then, a line of words floated into view.

It was coated with the highest level of rainbow color, announcing that Yu Man had completed this achievement, and was the first in the world to do so.

In a nutshell, this is an achievement for killing players in illegal areas.

But Yu Man had no time to care about his achievements. He used local snowfall and ice cones again to attack the therapist who was staying in place.

The other party even forgot the fact that he could still resist, and just stared at Yu Man with fear.

"Welcome to the old world." After saying this habitually, the girl's magic danced in the snow, ending another player's journey.

……

About fifteen minutes later, Yu Man, carrying a full bag of goods, finally saw the main city in an overweight state.

It is called the main city, but it is nothing more than a town made of stone bricks. It is quite large, with a large number of NPCs and sparse players, all of various shapes and sizes.

But it always keeps a light on - between the sky and the earth filled with wind and snow.

"Let me see if anyone is there..."

Apart from the loot in the boss's treasure chest, she still took away everything from the two people.

Although they are all some shabby novice equipment, novice potions, and drops from wild monsters in the safe zone... these things still have another use, which is to sell them back to them.

These equipments are all the belongings of the two players at this stage.

If you lose these, there is no way to go back to the Novice Village to get them again.

Judging from the current level of players, it is even more impossible to start from scratch. I guess I can only stand in the snow with bare hands as a beggar, waiting for kind people to help me.

Yu Man walked slowly, looking for someone similar...

Well, there really is.

There were two players who looked like cute girls, wearing only simple novice clothes, standing outside the city guards and next to the campfire.

Clay furnace, Qiqi...really. After resurrecting in the main city, this is the only thing I can do.

They anxiously looked at every player passing by - until they saw Yu Man, they reacted violently.

At first, they were filled with intense fear, which made them instinctively shiver, in addition to the cold. But then, pleading glints flashed in their eyes, and they approached Yu Man cautiously.

Ni Xiaolu whispered, "...Great God, we were wrong." There was an undisguised, natural charm in her tone.

"Master Eel, boss, we were wrong..." Qiqi also began to agree.

Yu Man looked at the two newbies with a smile and asked, "I don't have anything valuable on me, but if you kill me, will you return my equipment?"

The question silenced them for a few seconds.

After thinking it over, Qi Qi answered honestly, "Honestly, I do... but I'd probably be sarcastic or mocking first to show how powerful I am... Sigh."

"...We were a little too excited. At that time, we didn't expect that after being killed...it would be so tragic." Ni Xiaolu also added.

They avoided Yu Man's sight with deep fear.

Yu Man didn't intend to investigate further, but just nodded and returned the equipment to the two.

"We can only owe the redemption fee for now, or can we get an Alipay payment code?" Qiqi asked as a matter of course.

Yu Man shook her head. These novice equipment would completely lose their value after a day. She disliked this kind of evil behavior. However, there were still some things that could be done.

"Your adventurer professions are stonemason and forest ranger, respectively. In exchange, I will take two hours from each of you to collect the corresponding resources for me. That is, stone and wood. All profits during this time will belong to me."

"can!"

"Okay, anyway, we were planning to play some life-related content next. We're really scared of being beaten."

After putting on their equipment, they breathed a sigh of relief and readily accepted the conditions.

Yu Man casually gave some advice on collection, and they added each other as friends. Yu Man then stopped caring about the two of them.

After all, she still had a large package to deal with.

……

The number of players in the main city is increasing, as are the strange noises.

They come from all over the world, although most of them have Chinese IDs.

There are also many NPCs, but they have no names on their heads because they are the natives of the world.

Yu Man walked to the door, tore off a page from the "Pioneer's Instructions" posted there, and activated the information on the city map.

She followed the instructions and went directly to the trading house.

It is not a trading house that connects the entire world, but each trading house is independent by region, which will also derive a large amount of business game content.

Regardless, the trading houses in each major city will undoubtedly be bustling with activity, handling a massive amount of trade from a vast number of players. Although at this point, it's only the initial stages of planting seeds.

The trading house has reserved a prime location, and every player who sets foot there will be invited into a private room.

Quiet, safe, anonymous, and alone.

There is a magic book on the table, which serves as a trading system.

Yu Man's job wasn't to sell goods, because no one in the world could afford what she had. Instead, she would use the gold coins she had to submit purchase orders to the trading house, purchasing certain items at a clearly marked price.

At that time, players who want to sell these things can either choose to post a sales order and wait for someone to buy them.

Or, just take Yu Man’s purchase order directly, complete the deal directly, and get the money immediately.

She folded her hands and thought carefully, hmm...how should she best use the gold coins on hand?

Before the results came out - she heard a soft "ding" sound, like a wind chime.

She knew it was a friend request, but she couldn't understand it. The server had just launched, so who would know me? Who would add me on purpose? It couldn't be an eel fan who just searched for eel and added me?

005·Hey

After closing the trading magic book, Yu Man's right hand stopped in mid-air.

She stretched out her index finger and thumb, as if pinching some bouncy slime, applying a little force. It was a quick gesture to call up the friend system.

A translucent window popped up, but it felt a bit strange.

In the first week, even though Yu Man was a lone PVE player who never got involved in various guilds, players, or group struggles, he still added a lot of friends to his list due to various coincidences.

But now it is empty.

Only a new line of applications popped up, dispelling the loneliness.

"Jian Dui Lulu, I'd like to add you as a friend. Do you agree?"

Fried dumplings...an ID I don't recognize.

But with more and more players in the main city, it's possible that they're from the Novice Village? Was it added by mistake?

No, the most likely scenario was that they were adding everyone they met and then trying to sell the guild... That wasn't right either. Yu Man shook her head. The game had just launched, and besides her, no one else had the kind of funds to create a guild and then massively add friends and recruit people to join as leeks.

After thinking about it, Yu Man couldn't figure out the purpose and could only agree.

Suddenly, there was a new person named Jiandui Lulu in the friend list.

"Let me think...how to start..."

Yu Man used a quick gesture to bring up the virtual keyboard. When communicating with friends, there are two methods: voice and traditional text. When encountering situations that require careful word selection, typing is the most popular method.

But after thinking about it, Yu Man could only spit out this sentence -

"What are you doing?"

About half a minute later, the other party replied: "Brother, ok." It was a conversation without any information.

"What are you doing?" Yu Man asked again.

"Brother, your ID is hard to find. I can't see it clearly, I just remember it's a fish, two words. I searched for various fish for a long time and finally found it's an eel."

Jiandui Lulu's replies were much faster, and he finally had more information. Apparently, when they passed each other, they left a certain impression... probably in the main city.

"So what's the matter with you, brother?" Yu Man asked.

"I just want to ask, how did you get those gems on your ears? They're so damn beautiful. What profession's token of it? Or did you get it from a quest? If it's convenient, could you tell me a little bit?"

Ah, so that's what you're asking... Yu Man subconsciously touched her earlobe, and the gem felt gentle and cool.

It's quite normal. When you see someone wearing advanced equipment on the street, you want to have it too... That's probably the mentality.

"I was very lucky. I was very far away and it dropped from a rare monster." Yu Man answered frankly.

"Thanks, brother. I'm going too. Having a goal gives me something to strive for. I can freely travel and have adventures."

"……come on."

After closing the chat window, Yu Man didn't feel anything special, because everyone probably has similar thoughts after entering this world.

For example, the table in front of me, this trading magic book, the wall and the oil lamp.

And when you leave the house and open the window, you can see the lingering fine snow.

It seems to have given everyone a new life. Players are willing to waste their time and have fun in it at the cost of worthless and recyclable lives made up of virtual data.

——It’s time to get down to business.

Yu Man cleared his mind of distractions, reopened the trading magic book, and submitted one tedious purchase order after another.

She needed to purchase basic resources. Even though they could be collected around the main city and obtained in large quantities without risk, their consumption from now on would be a bottomless pit.

……

She left the increasingly bustling trading house, having already spent half of the gold coins she had.

Yu Man was going to another equally busy place, the warehouse.

The warehouse is just across from the trading house, across a gravel road without any snow.

It occupies a fairly large area with many fortified houses, and heavily armed guards and even magician NPCs roam around to protect the player's possessions.

Yu Man rented an enchanted storage box from an NPC at a price so cheap that even a novice could afford it.

She threw in all the loot she had no immediate use for, and finally emptied her backpack.

"The city is getting more and more lively."

"Rather, it's noisy."

At this time, the NPCs who were strolling around looked out at the street and started chatting.

Yu Man looked along the line——

Indeed, more and more players with diverse and unique character creation skills are pouring into the main city.

This was a good thing, because she knew very well that these guys would then run to the safe zone around the main city and plunder all the resources of this world like a swarm of locusts... and then sell them to Yu Man.
