Chapter 1 Survival in the World
Xu Xin woke up in a jungle.
The noise of various insects around him kept him awake. He sat up suddenly and found that he was lying on a square stone slab, surrounded by dense jungle.
"???"
Xu Xin's mind was still in a daze. He rubbed his eyes and felt sore all over, as if he had slept on the floor all night.
"Is it so magical?" Xu Xin, who had been sitting there in confusion for a long time, finally found himself and accepted the fact that this was not still a dream.
Last night, he should have taken off his clothes and got into bed, but why was he here now, wearing a pair of short-sleeved shorts that he had never seen before?
Kidnapped?
While he was still thinking wildly, the voice in his head suddenly woke him up.
[Welcome to the world of survival, where your only goal is to survive, forget everything you once had, and live hard. We have prepared a great gift for all newbies, a tree house. Remember, never abandon your tree house. The tree house is your only reliance. 】
[Obtain tree house seed*1, please choose a suitable location to plant within three days. The tree house will not be moved after planting. 】
[It is currently in the novice protection period. Survivors will not be attacked by creatures within three days. Survivors are asked to plant tree houses as soon as possible. 】
What? Treehouse? Treehouse seeds? Newbie protection period?
Xu Xin was sitting on the stone slab. Before he could react, a ball of light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Subconsciously, he reached out to touch it, and a seed the size of a walnut appeared in his hand.
[Tree house seeds: You can plant small tree houses to provide the most basic survival guarantee for survivors. Remember to find a fertile soil! 】
The huge amount of information took Xu Xin a long time to digest.
Is this a game world? Why is there a novice gift pack? What is the voice in my head?
He used the most primitive method and pinched himself with his nails, and he could feel obvious pain.
The prompt just now said "all newbies", which means that there must be many people in the same situation as him now. This is like a survival game, and everyone has to survive here.
If you fail, will you die?
He didn't know, but he didn't dare to try. He got off the stone slab, stood up and moved his body. There was nothing strange about his body and he was very energetic.
Lowering his head, he began to look at the seed in his hand.
The seeds are light yellow as a whole, the size is like a walnut, and the weight is not light, basically the same as an egg.
Such a small seed can turn into a tree house. I don't know how long it will take to grow.
The prompt says to find a fertile soil. Is this a joke, or does it mean that the fertility of the soil is related to the growth of the tree house?
Subconsciously, he looked down at his feet. Is the soil under your feet now fertile or barren?
"What's going on with this game... Why doesn't it even have a novice tutorial? Isn't this trying to persuade me to quit?" Xu Xin said to herself.
Now, what should he do?
However, he was not too panicked as he often traveled around. In addition to the three-day novice protection period just mentioned, it showed that his current situation was considered safe.
I don't know who brought him here, but now that he is here, he has to find a way to survive.
[Unlocking Survival World Creator Permissions]
Xu Xin was stunned by the sudden sound.
What's the matter? What does this creator permission mean?
Is this really a game?
[Unlocking failed, trying to unlock for the second time...]
[Unlocking failed, trying to unlock for the third time...]
What is the situation? There is a system vulnerability?
He suddenly became nervous.
It would be uncomfortable if a huge bug was given to him in the early stages.
[Unlocking failed, trying to unlock for the seventh time...]
This is already the seventh time. Xu Xin no longer expects to be able to unlock any creator rights, but only hopes that nothing will go wrong.
[Unlocking failed, some creator permissions are opened for you: item identification]
It failed in the end, but partial creator rights?
Xu Xin's eyes lit up. He had played sandbox games and knew what creator mode was.
That is completely invincible mode, and the resources are infinitely rich. It is basically the plug-in mode that comes with the game.
Is the item identification function...
Xu Xin glanced at the tree house seed in his hand, and the explanation of the seed was different from before.
[Tree house seeds: You can plant small tree houses to provide the most basic survival guarantee for survivors. Planting in poor soil can grow into a "low tree house", planting in ordinary soil can grow into a "small tree house", and planting in fertile soil can grow into a "tall tree house"]
Is this creator authority, item identification?
There is something!
Xu Xin suddenly became excited, and his eyes turned to the soil under his feet.
[Barren soil (white): The most common soil, with low organic matter and other nutrients. 】
You can see how fertile the soil is!
Looking closely, the soil began to emit a faint white light.
He looked at the surrounding land again. As soon as he thought about it, the surrounding soil began to glow with a faint white light.
Looking at the introduction, sure enough, they are all white quality.
He looked up and around.
[Slate (white): Spawn point, it seems to have no use other than making the survivors sore from sleep. Can be chipped with a chisel. 】
[Aspen tree (white): A common tree in the jungle, which can be cut down to obtain wood. 】
[Amanita (white): Poisonous fungus, you can eat it when you want to die. 】
Um?
He can even tell whether fungi are poisonous or not. This ability is really good.
Xu Xin began to look around.
However, to his disappointment, there were still some white quality resources around him.
Think about it, this is the birth point, what good things can be found around the birth point.
He thought for a moment and decided to get up and set off.
The goal at this stage is to find fertile soil and plant the treehouse seeds.
Before that, find something to eat and drink first, but there should be no shortage of these things in this jungle.
Now, he can't do anything. Maybe he needs to plant the tree house to get some useful information. Didn't the prompt just say, [the tree house is your only reliance].
If he hadn't unlocked the item identification function, he might not have wasted time looking for fertile soil. After all, how would he know which soil was fertile and which was barren.
As a child who grew up in the city, he may not be able to distinguish the five grains, let alone identify the soil fertility. He has only heard of yellow soil, black soil and red soil.
But now that he has confidence in his heart, he can't give up.
Three days, and they are still in the novice protection period, which just provides Xu Xin with protection.
Having made up his mind, he put the walnut-sized seeds into the pocket of his shorts, carefully checked the slate and the area around it, and after making sure that there were no novice tools, he set out on the road.
“We don’t even give newbies tools, so we just start with a seed.”
Stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground, Xu Xin moved forward in one direction.
He didn't know where he would go in this direction, but he couldn't stay where he was.
With a thought, the ability item identification was activated, and various objects around him began to glow white.
Probably due to the novice's protection, there were no other creatures in the jungle except for the sound of insects.
According to his observations, the scope of his ability to identify objects is very large. At least in this jungle where his sight is blocked, everything he sees, no matter how far or near, can shine.
"Huh?" I don't know how long I walked before a flash of green broke into Xu Xin's field of vision, which refreshed Xu Xin's spirits.
He couldn't see clearly what was emitting the light, but the green light still guided him in the direction.
Quickening his pace, he walked towards the green direction. (End of chapter)
