Chapter 1: SSS-Class Talent, Infinite Enhancement
[Detected that you possess extraordinary bones and unmatched talent!!!]
[Congratulations, you have been selected as a player of the ‘Gods and Demons Continent’!]
[Notice: Gods and Demons Continent is a real world. 100 million players will now be teleported!]
While attending class, Zhou Han suddenly heard a strange electronic notification in his mind.
Before he could react, a beam of white light enveloped him.
He disappeared from the classroom, leaving the classmates beside him completely stunned.
Zhou Han slowly opened his eyes and found himself in an ancient-looking city.
On the streets, well-equipped soldiers were patrolling, their bodies exuding killing intent, clearly tempered by the flames of war.
From outside the city, the roars of ferocious beasts could constantly be heard, making it obvious that this world was extremely dangerous.
“Damn, this is too miserable!” Zhou Han muttered speechlessly. Still a student, he had never experienced the harshness of society.
Yet he had been forcibly thrown into an even more dangerous otherworld. The pressure was overwhelming.
[Regional Announcement: Your current location is Region No. 666 — Azure Thunder City. Player count: 100,000.]
[All players have been teleported. The support system is now officially activated. This system will accompany you as you battle across the Gods and Demons Continent.]
[Friendly Reminder: Use your thoughts or voice to issue commands to the support system!]
As the notification sounded,
A virtual panel appeared in Zhou Han’s mind.
It contained many sections: [Chat], [Trading], [Personal Information], and more.
“Open chat!”
Zhou Han tried it, silently giving the command in his mind.
Soon, the interface changed,
And a virtual dialogue panel appeared before him.
It resembled a holographic, multi-dimensional, semi-transparent projection.
This support system was indeed highly intelligent.
It could really be controlled with thoughts, making it extremely convenient.
Zhou Han entered the chat to check the situation.
At the moment, he was still a bit confused and wanted to see if he could gather any useful information.
Everyone was chatting intensely, with 999+ unread messages displayed.
“What the hell is this place? I want to go back. I’ve got billions waiting for me to inherit!”
“Mom, this is terrifying! I just saw a fire-breathing wolf outside the city, as big as an elephant…”
“D-Don’t scare me, is it really that horrifying? I don’t want to die! Mom, I want to go home. I’m already 40 and still don’t have a girlfriend!”
“Why go back? To keep being a 996 corporate slave?”
“I just talked to a native inside the city!”
“I heard that in the Gods and Demons Continent, as long as your luck is strong enough, you can even become a god. Are kings and nobles born that way? The day to ascend to godhood is today.”
“My name is Ye Chen. I used to be a security guard at a Fortune 500 company. Now that the opportunity is right in front of me, why not seize it? Maybe I can defy fate!”
“Brother Chen is awesome, I’m rooting for you!”
…
After watching for a while, Zhou Han gathered some information. This world followed the mechanics of an online game, but it wasn’t virtual.
There were many players who had been selected, from all kinds of backgrounds:
Rich second-generation heirs, 996 workers, security guards, older single men, and more.
But regardless of their previous identities, once they entered this otherworld, everyone was equal. They all started from the same point.
[Regional Announcement: In ten minutes, each player will randomly draw a talent.]
[Talent grades are divided into: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, and above.]
[Talents can help players improve their strength, fight powerful enemies, and reach the peak!]
After hearing this announcement, the chat exploded again.
The level of a talent did not represent final achievements,
But it determined the speed of early development.
Having a high-grade talent would absolutely allow one to stand out quickly and seize the initiative.
“Damn, you can even unlock talents? This is exciting. That means everyone won’t be equal anymore, the gap will widen.”
“I wonder what talent I’ll awaken. I’m so nervous! Anyone got a quick-acting heart pill? Give me one.”
“Oh mighty luck, please bless me. I don’t ask for much, just an A-grade talent.”
“Your standards aren’t low at all! Who knows what the awakening rates are.”
“Stop talking, ten minutes are up. The moment that decides fate has arrived.”
…
[Regional Announcement: Players, talents have been randomly assigned. Your character status panels have been activated. Please check them yourselves!]
[The city is a safe zone. You have a three-day beginner protection period and can stay in the city for free!]
[To prevent players from being too idle, after three days, you must pay 1 gold coin each night for lodging, or you will be expelled!]
[Final reminder: This is a real world. Before reaching level 100, you only have one life. Develop cautiously and don’t act recklessly!]
[Good luck!]
After hearing this, Zhou Han immediately felt a sense of urgency. There were only three days.
Inside the city, with the army’s protection, it was very safe.
But outside the city was filled with all kinds of dangers.
Especially at night, when even more powerful races would appear.
After three days, if he couldn’t afford the gold coins, he would be driven out of the city. The outcome was obvious.
The otherworld was just that cruel.
“Right, talent! I wonder what kind of talent I awakened!” Zhou Han felt a bit expectant.
He opened [Personal Information] and checked it.
[Player · Zhou Han]
[Level: 1 (0%)]
[Class: None (Can change class at level 10)]
[HP: 100]
[Attack: 10]
[Defense: 0]
[Talent: Infinite Enhancement (SSS-grade, unique in the entire universe)]
The initial level was level 1, and the base attack was 10 points.
As for classes, one could only change class after reaching level 10.
Currently, Zhou Han was still wearing his school uniform, so his defense was 0.
Next was the talent!
Huh?
What?
SSS-grade?
Zhou Han’s eyes shrank.
He saw his talent—
It was actually SSS-grade Infinite Enhancement, and it was the only one in the entire universe.
He was completely shocked, followed by overwhelming joy.
He had actually become one of the lucky ones!
After calming his excitement slightly, Zhou Han opened the details to check.
[Infinite Enhancement: You can consume a certain amount of enhancement points to enhance anything other than yourself. After enhancement, some special effects will be randomly generated. The more times you enhance, the more heaven-defying the effects become.]
The description was rather vague, and the exact effects were unclear.
It seemed he would have to explore it slowly on his own.
“Right, enhancement points? How many do I have now?”
“And how do I obtain enhancement points?” Zhou Han asked silently in his mind.
[System Prompt: Your current enhancement points are 0. However, since you have just activated your talent, the system will grant you one free enhancement opportunity.]
[You can obtain enhancement points through leveling up, killing monsters, quest rewards, and other methods. The points you gain will accumulate on the virtual panel, and you can check them at any time!]
The intelligent support system directly answered Zhou Han’s questions.
Zhou Han nodded. As long as there were ways to obtain enhancement points, it would be manageable.
“I wonder what grades of talent the other players got?”
Zhou Han was a bit curious. After all, these players were all in Region 666 and would become his potential opponents in the future.
As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle. Understanding others’ situations was very important.
Zhou Han turned his gaze back to the chat.
“Hahaha, I’m taking off! I awakened a D-grade talent, Defense Amplification. Who else can compare?”
“Sounds amazing, I’m jealous of the boss! I actually got an F-grade talent. That’s so miserable.”
“A mere D-grade dares to show off? I, Ye Chen, have a B-grade talent, Burning Blood Qi. I am the chosen one!”
“Brother Chen is awesome! I only got an E-grade talent. My luck is terrible, sob…”
“Little sister looking for protection. I also have an E-grade talent. Here are my private photos!”
“Don’t be afraid, little sister, big brother will protect you!”
“Whoa, I can’t take it. What kind of taste is that? Isn’t that Qiao Biluo?”
“Ugh… I’m out!”
“Why is everyone so lucky? I awakened the weakest F-grade talent!”
“F-grade +1.”
“F-grade +2.”
…
“F-grade +10001.”
…
Soon, the chat was flooded with the words ‘F-grade,’ clearly the most common tier.
Most people had F-grade talents, followed by E-grade.
Talents above D-grade were already extremely rare.
No one had even heard of S-grade or above, let alone SSS-grade.
