[ Novices have a protection period – in the Novice Village, they will not be threatened or attacked by the enemy. However, there will also be a novice assessment period. ]
[ The novice assessment period will last for a week. Within this week, those who remain below level 10 will directly be eliminated. ]
[ The main way to level up is to hunt down demonic beasts and evil creatures wandering outside the Novice Village. The Novice Village Square lies between the Novice Village and the world outside. ]
[ Good luck to all of you! ]
While everyone was having their own discussions, the laws of Heaven announced the rules once more. Lin Tian, who was dejected, heard a sound coming from outside.
“F * ck! No way! How can they be so ruthless! Only 1 week?”
“Brother! What’s your talent ranking?”
“Mine’s not bad – I got an E-rank! What about yours?”
Lin Tian sighed. Since he was already there, he told himself to just take it easy. He then headed to the Novice Village Square.
Lin Tian braced himself and opened the door sneakily. After confirming that no one had noticed him, he sneaked out of the door.
He did not want to join everyone else and ask them about their talents. He still had no clear idea on what was going on in the Novice Village, so revealing his strength was the last thing he would do.
When he came to the Novice Village Square, it was already crowded with people. At the far end of Novice Village Square was a light curtain. One side of the light curtain was the well protected Novice Village, and on the other side of the curtain was an unknown jungle.
“This is too difficult for me! I’m just a streamer, how can I kill any monsters?”
A girl next to Lin Tian suddenly collapsed and started crying.
“Aren’t there more than a dozen talents above C-rank? At times like these, you guys should go out there and set an example for everyone. Isn’t it also a good way to let everyone know what’s going on outside?”
“Brother! Why are you so indignant? What’s your level?”
“What should we do, then? We can’t just starve to death together!”
“Sigh, it’s not impossible to go out, but we should at least get some hints! We don’t even know what kind of opponents are we going to face! Isn’t this just sending us to our deaths?”
Lin Tian hid behind the crowd, listening to the people around him voicing their opinions one after another. Some of their voices were even trembling.
His combat strength was F, and he did not even have any talent. That jungle was not something he could recklessly step into. If he dared to take a step into that wilderness beyond the curtain, he would probably lose his life.
Just then, he saw someone walking towards the light screen with a solemn expression.
“I used to play MMA, and I have a C-rank talent. I’ll go out and take a look first. Since this jungle placed around our Novice Village, the monsters shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with. I’ll go and investigate first. ”
That person’s name was Deng Jian, and he had the body of a body builder. He stood out among the crowd in every way. He took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the other side of the light curtain.
Deng Jian walked with a short knife in his hand. His figure eventually passed through the light curtain and he entered the forest.
“His strength was 20, so its definitely right for him to go out and take a look first.”
“Right! His chances of survival will definitely be higher than ours.”
As Deng Jian’s figure disappear into the forest, everyone stopped their discussion and held their breaths. Everyone was trying their best to find and follow Deng Jian’s track.
A full minute passed but there was no news of Deng Jian. Perhaps he was right that the demon beasts around them were just paper tigers with no real danger.

A shrill scream pierced through the light curtain and Deng Jian finally appeared. His confidence moments ago were no where to be found, and he was running for his life. As his figure stepped out of the jungle, everyone could see that he was injured. Just then, a strong force from behind abruptly dragged him back into the jungle.
The blood splattered from his body and went through the light curtain. It even got splashed onto the onlookers at the front row.
[ Announcement: Novice Deng Jian was killed by a Level 1 Demon Beast, the Sword-piercing Bug. ]
This man, who was regarded as a big shot by everyone, was… dead in less than two minutes!
At this moment, everyone finally realized that someone had died in front of them! This was not a game! In this world, people would really die!
The crowd dispersed in a hubbub. After witnessing the tragedy just now, no one dared to stay any longer. All of them had their hearts set on returning to their own wooden houses!
Lin Tian actually had not figured out what was going on yet. The crowd in front of him suddenly screamed and dispersed, so he ran away as well. He did not want to die here for no reason.
As he ran back to his cabin, a notification appeared in his mind.
[ Ding! The thousand-year-old trading system has been activated! ]
Lin Tian frowned. Thousand-year-old trading system? What was the use of this system? Forget it, I should just wait and see.
He activated the system, and he was suddenly blinded. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange space. His surroundings were pitch-black, and there was only the light of a candle in the distance.
Following the light in front of him, Lin Tian carefully walked over and discovered a man in a black robe. He was holding a candle as if he was looking for something.
“Hello?”
Only then did Lin Tian notice that he was in a tunnel. That man appeared shocked when he heard Lin Tian’s voice and turned his head abruptly.
“Ahem, who are you? Wait a moment…”
That person approached Lin Tian and sized him up from head to toe.
‘Brother, we are both males so we should not be intimate with each other! What’s with that wolf-like gaze of yours?’ Lin Tian thought.
“You… are here to make a trade?”
Trade? Lin Tian was stunned, but he immediately nodded. No matter how the trade was made or what the trade was, he had to ask first.
“What do you want?”
The black-robed man asked. There was a hint of anticipation in his tone, but also a hint of doubt.
“I want to become stronger!”
Lin Tian’s tone was firm. He did not hesitate at all. He was extremely weak right now. Even that muscular man died in the world outside within two minutes, let alone Lin Tian himself.
“Something is not right. I don’t think you have anything to trade with me.”

The man frowned and took out an SSS-rank talent book.
As soon as he took out the book, Lin Tian’s eyes widened. An SSS-rank talent! I have to get it no matter what!
“Don’t worry, I don’t have it now, but we can always negotiate. What do you think?”
Lin Tian controlled himself and did not let his emotions show. This was a deal. He could not let the other party see through his intentions and raise the price.
“I can’t wait for too long either. How about this – I’ll give you one day to bring back the corpses of three Killing demonic beasts. This book will be yours then.”
