Chapter 1: Won't This Affect the Balance Too Much?
et wrapped around Lu Kong's legs. Whenever Lu Kong moved his leg, she would sway along. For a moment, the scene was rather eerie.Even the wildest players were left speechless, staring in stunned silen...Early September.
Daxia Economic Center, Xuanhai City.
Although it was night, Xuanhai City was still brightly lit, and the nightlife had just begun.
Inside a youth apartment on the outskirts of Xuanhai City.
Lu Kong sat on the bed, holding his phone and talking on it.
"Hi Mom, I've already transferred 5,000 yuan to you this month after my salary was paid."
A weary but concerned voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I've told you so many times, your money is yours to keep. I'll figure things out here myself. This mess was left behind by me and your father, how can it be your responsibility"
Lu Kong's expression was calm as he looked out the window at the neon lights.
“Without you, who would I be Dad is gone now, and I'm the pillar of the family. I will pay back this money little by little. You are so old, and you're working so hard out there all alone. I can't just ignore it!”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and finally a sigh came through, sounding choked with emotion: "Sigh... it's all my fault and your father's. We're both useless."
"How can you blame them Who could have predicted such a severe epidemic would suddenly appear Life is unpredictable, this is just fate."
On the phone, listening to Lu Kong's calm words, she fell silent again.
After a long while, a voice came: “Take care of yourself over there, remember to eat on time, and wear more clothes when it gets cold…”
Listening to his mother's chatter, Lu Kong didn't interrupt, but instead felt a warmth in his heart.
"After reminding me for a long time, the person on the phone continued, “It’s getting late, so you should get some rest. Mom won't bother you anymore.”
"Well, Mom, you should get some rest too."
"Okay, I understand. You can hang up now."
"Good."
Lu Kong hung up his phone and put it on the bedside table.
He stared out the window at the neon lights for a long time, then lay back on the bed and let out a slow sigh.
Even with two lifetimes as a human, the changes of these few years have left him exhausted.
Originally, his parents owned a small company and had a decent income. His life was happy and fulfilling.
But four years ago, a severe infectious disease suddenly broke out, the company went bankrupt, and it owed tens of millions in debt.
His father was unable to bear such a blow and committed suicide by jumping from a building, leaving only his mother and himself, who was still in his first year of university at the time.
The huge blow turned the mother's hair white overnight, and she looked much more haggard.
But she was stronger than her father, and she pulled through.
According to her, "Your dad is gone. If I leave too, wouldn't that burden fall on you How could I bear to do that"
She works multiple jobs every day, just to pay off her debts.
Although Lu Kong told her to rest early just now, he knew she would still be on the night shift tonight.
He doesn't want his mother to work hard, but there's nothing he can do about it.
After graduation, he found a job that paid nine thousand yuan. In the current situation where it is difficult for graduates to find jobs, this is already considered good.
The pressure of life in Xuanhai City is not small. He left 4,000 for his necessary expenses, and the other 5,000 were all transferred to his mother, hoping to contribute his share.
Recalling the weariness of these past few years, Lu Kong couldn't help but chuckle wryly.
He was a transmigrator to this world, but whether a transmigrator could end up in his situation is unknown. Perhaps he's the only one
But he also let it go.
Since I've already died once, what else is there to be afraid of
Isn't that just debt
It's not a big deal.
At that moment, a majestic and powerful voice echoed through the sky.
"To the humans of Yuanxing, the cosmic server has been connected with you. The first batch of public beta qualifications are now being issued."
Lu Kong was startled, sat up and looked out the window.
Radio
Who's playing a prank
Even the cosmic server pales in comparison, I wield the Multiverse Core. How will you contend with that, Your Excellency
Just as Lu Kong was finding pleasure in his suffering, a sudden pain shot through his left wrist.
Then he saw a circle of complex runes appear on his wrist.
Runes encircled his wrist, flashing with white light, like a bracelet.
Soon, the white light vanished, and the runes gradually faded into Lu Kong's skin.
Just now, the runes and white light seemed like a dream.
Lu Kong was completely dumbfounded.
What's the situation!
He thought of the majestic voice, and a chill ran down his spine.
Could what you just said be true!
Before Lu Kong could think much, a majestic and powerful voice boomed again.
The initial public beta test had 20 million spots, and they have all been allocated.
"Players can enter the game at any time. Please refer to the specific rules for details."
"People of Cygnus, we hope you will venture beyond your homeworld and contribute to the defense of the cosmos."
Land and Air no longer treated this sound as a joke.
The content of this voice caused Lu Kong's thoughts to fly all over the place.
He lowered his head and looked at his wrist. With a thought, the rune ring appeared again.
This is the qualification for public beta testing
Is this rune ring connected to the game
This game doesn't seem ordinary, it can even let humans break out of the Yuan star and enter the universe
You should know that Yuanxing's technology is pretty good now.
But it has only developed a manned space station so far, and it's still too early to enter the universe.
The final defense of the universe, it felt absurd to have both land and air involved.
Is such a vast universe in need of their protection
How do they protect themselves
Lu Kong understands that a person's limitations lie in their horizons and thoughts.
As an ordinary human who hasn't even stepped foot in space, it would be quite difficult for him to understand these things.
But perhaps all of this can be found in the so-called game
Lu Kong looked at his rune ring, his mind moving again.
Before him, a panel appeared.
【Name】: Lu Kong
【Race】：Galactic Humanoid
【Occupation】: Not Selected
: 1
Strength: 7
Endurance: 7
Agile: 7
Intelligence: 7
【Skills】：None
[Soul Talent]: Dropped Item Designation (Random): You can see the monster's drop list and designate items from the drop list.
Click to view details
Enter Game: Yes/No
The information on the panel seems to be no different from that of a normal online game.
But when he saw the Soul Talent column, his eyes widened suddenly.
Loot designated!
What kind of cosmic joke is this
Before the dramatic turn of events at home, he had also played online games.
As a non-酋 (meaning someone unlucky in games), the drop rate is his eternal pain.
But, specifying dropped items... isn't that really a management privilege
This means that as long as it's on the monster drop list, he can get a 100% drop rate!
Speaking of which, this is a game from the cosmic server! This kind of talent really should exist
Won't this affect the balance too much
Oh, it's me who is affecting the balance. That's fine.
Looking at the gibberish following the dropped item, Lu Kong fell into deep thought.
He felt he probably understood where this talent came from.
Perhaps because he was a traveler, his soul didn't originally belong to this universe.
When the characters for the universe server were created, these attributes came from the soul, so there were loopholes
This vulnerability's appearance is great!
This is a game that affects the entire fate of Yuanxing, it's definitely going to make money.
Then, he will be able to pay off his debts, so that his mother won't have to work so hard anymore and they can live a good life!
His breathing was a little rapid.
"No rush, no rush... We don't know the specifics of this game yet. Let's take a look at the rules first. If there's nothing dangerous, let's get into the game quickly!"here were too big of a gap in potential, they wouldn't be assigned to the same newbie continent. The universe server is still quite fair in this regard.Hearing this, Lu Kong felt a little relieved.If...
