Walking out of the office of the boss of the studio, Xia Ruize walked more easily. Next, he would not be assigned a new job. He only needed to sort out the work in his hand and wait for the handover to arrive.

To be honest, there was another important reason why Xia Ruize was so confident. It was the survival points obtained in the novice selection level. In addition to being currency in the Endless World, it could also be exchanged for real-world banknotes, and the exchange ratio was very amazing. A small survival point could be exchanged for one hundred yuan, and Xia Ruize could exchange one million for 10,000 survival points in the novice world!

From a small civilian with a deposit of less than five figures to a millionaire with a net worth of seven figures, in the future, as long as one hundred survival points were available for each monthly mission, it could be exchanged for the current monthly income of over ten thousand. After a careful calculation, of course Xia Ruize had the confidence to resign and go home.

After finishing the day’s work and sorting out all the tasks at hand, Xia Ruize went straight back to the rented place after work, which was a bachelor apartment located in the suburbs of Magic City.

After tidying up the room and tidying himself up, Xia Ruize sat on the sofa and video called his parents.

At this time, the parents were watching TV, and the sudden greetings from their son seemed unexpected and pleasant. Xia Ruize patiently listened to the instructions of his parents and echoed a few words from time to time.

It was nice to still see his parents.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Xia father and Xia mother hung up the video contentedly. Xia Ruize laid on the sofa casually, then opened his eyes, he appeared in his own room in the Endless World.

This time, Xia Ruize opened the door and walked out of the room.

Outside the door was a quiet and peaceful town. In the center of the town were some two-story shops, surrounded by a circle of three-story blue and white small buildings, and there were high-rise buildings in the distance. The streets paved with bluestone slabs were clean and spacious. There were pedestrians coming and going. Many pedestrians had a mist on their faces, making it difficult to see the real faces.

Xia Ruize walked randomly along the street, looking around in a novel way.

A tall and thin young man with a misty face leaned forward and spoke:

“Newcomer? Do you want to buy information? It’s super cheap, with only one hundred survival points, I will tell you everything you want to know.”

Xia Ruize waved his hand to refuse, and continued to walk around. The man persevered in catching up and continued:

“Your group of newcomers went into an ancient world of war. The mission was to kill barbarians or something. Don’t you want to know how others behaved?”

Xia Ruize paused, and continued to wave his hand to refuse.

The information directly printed in his mind was only a general introduction to the Endless World, and there were no specific details. He was really blank in this respect, but he was not in a hurry and could slowly understand.

Xia Ruize’s unhurried attitude was really rare. That person really got on with him, and continued to tempt him:

“Some newcomers have gotten extended missions. Hey, you haven’t heard of this term. If you don’t know anything, the gap between you and others will get bigger and bigger.”

The word “extended mission” made Xia Ruize pause again, but turned to see the white mist covering the opponent’s face, and finally waved away.

“Okay, if you don’t buy it, don’t buy it, hey, goodbye.”

Seeing that he couldn’t move Xia Ruize again and again, he finally left and continued to find other targets.

Xia Ruize continued to stroll on the street. The clear sky had no sun, but there was “sunlight” on his body. It was warm and comfortable, the air was fresh, the temperature was moderate, the colors of the surrounding buildings were mild, and every detail made people feel comfortable.

The area where he could visit was actually not big. Xia Ruize quickly discovered that the town was in the shape of a circle with a public area in the middle. The small green and white buildings around were actually rooms for the endless trialers. Xia Ruize opened a door at random, he was back to his own room. As for whether he could visit the rooms of other trialers, it was not yet known.

The tall buildings in the distance could be seen, but he can’t walk through it. The ring-shaped town was closed, and Xia Ruize had not found an entrance or exit to leave the town.

In the public area in the middle, at the very center was an exquisite circular hall, surrounded by several restaurants and taverns.

After spinning three times in a row, Xia Ruize found that there were the most people in the hall. He simply chose a restaurant next to the hall and sat down. He was hungry. First, taste the uniqueness of the food in the Endless World. Second, listen. Listen to what the people around him were discussing.

He chose the small table by the window and sat down. Xia Ruize opened the menu and found that the dishes on the menu were calculated according to survival points. Thousands of points or even tens of thousands of points were available.

The menu was very interesting, it was sorted by price.

At this moment, the person who had stopped Xia Ruize from selling and peddling information walked aside, leaned lazily on the table, and tapped the beer icon on Xia Ruize’s menu with his finger, and said:

“Hey, buddy, make a friend, I’ll give you a discount, as long as you buy me a beer, I will introduce you some information.”

The beer pointed by the other party only had 8 survival points. Compared with the 100-point information fee he said before, it was so cheap that Xia Ruize did not agree, and asked, “Why?”

Why stare at him, why give him a discount?

“Hey, you guy is very vigilant, okay, to be honest, I’m very optimistic about you.” As he said casually, the person at the table sat in the chair opposite Xia Ruize and reached out to the menu in Xia Ruize’s hands. Pressed hard at the beer area, Xia Ruize saw a gap suddenly appeared on the table, and then a glass of beer was delivered.

The opposite person waved his hand and the mist on his face disappeared. He was like a handsome young man. He took a gulp of beer, smiled at Xia Ruize, and continued with a grin:

“Just call me Xiao Jinlong1, do you still want to ask me why I am optimistic about you? Haha, this guy, is obviously your first time coming to Endless Town, but you didn’t curb your curiosity, so you went around three times with such carelessness. Anyone with a snack has noticed you.

You should have also noticed that although the fog can block the face, it can’t block the body. You can distinguish a person by whatever clothes you wear and the posture you walk around in. You recognized me when you turned the second lap, but ignored me and continued to do your third lap. This shows that you have confidence in your heart. ”

Xiao Jinlong tasted beer again, while ordering Xia Ruize.

The funny thing was that the newcomers who came to the town for the first time, the more confident they were, the more they did not conceal their state of ignorance. On the contrary, they were those who were not confident and pretend to be often, but they didn’t know, it was easy to see the flaws.

“Of course, the most important thing is that you should know what ‘extended mission’ means.”

Xiao Jinlong suddenly leaned forward, laughed awkwardly, and said in a low voice.

“After I said ‘Extended Mission’, your performance did not seem to be completely unknown. Combined with the premise that you are a newcomer, you are likely to activate the potential seed of the extended mission at the novice level.

I’ll give you a message for free. Less than 50% of people can pass the novice level, less than 30% can complete the main task of the novice level, and those who can activate the extended mission at the novice level. Haha, it can be counted with two hands. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Jinlong stopped to observe Xia Ruize’s reaction, but unfortunately Xia Ruize did not remove the mist from his face like Xiao Jinlong. Xiao Jinlong could not directly observe Xia Ruize’s expression, but saw that the other party was still unhurried. Looking through the menu, it seemed that the dishes were more attractive than the information in his mouth.

It was a pity that he sighed, and Xiao Jinlong turned to smile more brilliantly, with vigilance and calmness. If this guy really activated the extended mission in the novice world, he was really a potential newcomer.

Xia Ruize learnt from Xiao Jinlong and pressed several interesting dishes on the menu one after another.

As a result, the tabletop kept turning over, and a potato sirloin, a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, and a large bowl of fish-flavored shredded pork topped rice appeared on the tabletop. Although it was the most common home-cooked dish, it was full of color, flavor, and taste.

“Tsk tusk tusk, newcomers are really extravagant. Survival point is the guarantee of the trialer’s survival. Eating so exaggeratedly. It seems that the main task of your novice world has been completed.”

Xiao Jinlong looked at Xia Ruize with the look of a prodigal son. Xia Ruize paused his chopsticks. The total number of these dishes was a little bit more than forty points. Judging from the survival points he harvested, it was not too much, but listening to Xiao Jinlong, was it expensive?

However, after eating a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, Xia Ruize did not regret it. The sweet and sour pork was mellow and the meat was fresh and tender, so delicious! It was the best sweet and sour pork ribs he had ever eaten. It was the kind of delicacy he had hoped to encounter when he was watching cartoons when he was a child.

After eating a bite, Xia Ruize’s chopsticks immediately stretched out to other dishes. Sure enough, the potato sirloin and fish-flavored pork topped rice did not disappoint him, and he was extremely satisfied with the big mouthful.

Although Xiao Jinlong couldn’t see Xia Ruize’s expression, he could see his movements. At a glance, he knew that the person opposite was eating very fragrantly. He immediately became imbalanced and threatened:

“The main god is in the largest hall in the middle of the town, and the trialer can exchange survival points for everything he wants from the main god. The real wish is fulfilled. The premise is that you have a survival point.

In addition, if the mission fails, you will get survival points deducted. You’d better reserve a few hundred spare survival points before entering the mission to prevent the mission from failing. If the survival points are deducted as a negative number, you will be done ”

With that said, Xiao Jinlong made a knife stroke around his neck. Seeing that Xia Ruize was still indifferent and only caring about eating, Xiao Jinlong made a ruthless trick: “Think about how you use these survival points in exchange for more than a dozen times for money.”

“How many tasks have you done?”

Xia Ruize suddenly raised his head and asked, the Mission World can get you 1,000 survival points after completing the main missions. Doing a few more mission can always save some, right? Why be so stingy? According to Xiao Jinlong’s previous words, asking a hundred survival point for information, he thought he didn’t put one hundred points in his eyes at all.

“Hey, be scared, let me tell you the truth, I have completed five tasks, so I dare not come here easily for the luxury of big fish and meat. Look at the people around you, they are all here for drinking and chatting, who is like you and really come here to eat!”

Xiao Jinlong said hating iron for not becoming steel.2

Xia Ruize followed Xiao Jinlong’s guidance and looked around. Sure enough, most of the people around the table were holding beer while drinking. At most, there were some dishes on the table and few hard dishes.

“If you tell me everything you know, I will treat you to food.”

Turning his head, this time Xia Ruize seduced.

The dishes in this restaurant were not only delicious, but more importantly, the number of dishes was very large. Xia Ruize was not going to share his own meals, but the dishes could be shared.

“Really?” Xiao Jinlong’s eyes lit up, he quickly took a pair of chopsticks and picked up a large piece of beef, and said as he chewed hard:

“The area we are currently in is the white paper area of ​​the Endless World. The white paper area is actually the novice area. There are also the bamboo silk, silver pages, gold books, and jade scroll areas at higher levels, corresponding to the Endless World, also follow the classification of items, White, yellow, silver, gold, green.

The higher the level of the area, the more difficult the task facing, of course, the richer the rewards.

If people in the White Paper area want to upgrade to the bamboo silk area, they need to complete the main mission with a ‘pass’ evaluation in three consecutive mission worlds and pay 1,000 survival points. However, some people will deliberately not upgrade, in an attempt to stay in the white paper area. ”

“Is there no penalty for not upgrading?”

Xia Ruize’s heart moved, and asked suspiciously. He manually divided the dishes into two halves, and Xiao Jinlong bought a bowl of white rice himself, and ate the dishes deliciously.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinlong glanced at Xia Ruize with a smile, and reminded:

“There are still penalties. The reward for completing the main mission in each mission world is generally 500 points. The penalty for failing the main mission is 250 points. Someone deliberately completes two missions and fails one mission. Gain up to 750 survival points.

However, to improve your strength, you need to survive, buy weapons, buy exercises, buy armor, buy medicines…Which one should not survive? Before entering the mission, you have to prepare the survival points that can be deducted in case the mission fails. Therefore, the mission in the white paper area is low, but if you don’t pay attention to it, your income and expenditure may be unbalanced. Is this a penalty? ”

Xia Ruize, who won 10,000 survival points in the novice world, chose to silently lower his head to eat and not participate in this issue. He only cared about the most critical point: “How does the difficulty of the formal tasks in the white paper area compare to the novice selection levels?”

Xiao Jinlong put away his arrogant appearance, and said seriously: “The answer to this question is not fixed, because the difficulty of the beginner level is different, and it is related to luck. The difficulty of most beginner levels is much lower than that of the official mission world, but there are other cases.

For example, the ancient battlefields you encountered was the unlucky world of highly difficult pure novices. It was a large-scale war when the newcomers who were suddenly pulled in didn’t know anything, and it was over. But some novice worlds are a mixture of novices and veterans, and the veterans are asked to take care of the novices, so it´s easier. You are just a little out of luck, it’s not time to die, hehe. ”

Xia Ruize was stunned. It was the first time that he heard others say that he had bad luck. This experience was simply novel.

Xiao Jinlong thought that Xia Ruize was frightened, and quickly soothed:

“You can complete the main mission in the pure novice world. It seems to be relatively easy, and you may even have activated the extended task. It shows that you have a good mentality and strength, and you have a good chance of being promoted to the advanced area.

But let me give you a piece of advice. You must be promoted to be able to enter the bamboo silk area, but don’t go up too fast. Do a few more novice tasks to save more money. I heard that the price of some things bought in the White Paper area is different from that in the bamboo silk area.

If you have a survival points, you can go to the main temple to have a look. No matter what you want to buy, you can buy it. For novices, the most important thing is to have a powerful weapon. A suitable weapon has a great effect.

Of course, the most fundamental thing is to improve the basic physical fitness, 100 survival points can be exchanged for 0.1 physical fitness points, which is very difficult to accumulate. In short, if you do a few more tasks in the novice zone, you will be able to save up a little higher and then upgrade to the zone.

The second most important thing is the exercise method. You can become a master of martial arts in minutes by buying an exercise method.

As for bloodlines and skills, the prices are too expensive. However, I suspect that bloodlines have more potential. I heard that it is cheaper to buy bloodlines in the White Paper area than in the bamboo silk area.”Jev Kaez's notes:

  1 Xiao Jinlong is a nickname which translates to ‘Little golden dragon’ but I think is better to leave it in Chinese. 2 To hate iron for not becoming Steel, to feel resentful towards somebody for failing to meet expectations and impatient to see improvements. Basically, Jinlong is frustrated seeing Xia Ruize being so relax and minding his words.
