Chapter 2: Wilderness Arrival

Chapter 2 - 2: Wilderness ArrivalThinking about his "special abilities," Jiang Yuan felt both anxious and curious.

People always have a strong desire to explore the unknown, especially when it's a world where they can enjoy pioneering and make money as well. He immediately returned to his room, locked the door, exited the text message interface, and prepared to enter the game again to make some money.

A few seconds later, his hands trembled slightly as he kept


The prices weren't expensive, all were damaged versions; each tool cost 50 Gold Coins and could collect materials for upgrades, but each tool had a single purpose. To complete tasks and clear the entire courtyard, he needed axes for chopping trees, sickles for cutting grass, shovels for removing debris, and pickaxes for clearing stones.

After withdrawing the beginner tutorial reward Gold Coins, Jiang Yuan's account balance was now 0. After a few seconds of deliberation, he decided to humbly deposit two hundred to buy the farming tools and start clearing land.

He worked tirelessly until sunset when the large yard was left with only the two cherry trees by the river, neat and flat. Jiang Yuan, who never had a smooth career, felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and achievement.

[Task 1 complete, Level 0 house reward issued]

Accompanied by a prompt, a flash of light birthed a thatched cottage near the cherry trees, modest in size with only a wooden bed covered with straw placed in the corner.

"Level 0 is so crude, how would one upgrade it?" Before he could find a way to upgrade the house, large words suddenly appeared in his view: [Dusk has arrived, wilderness is descending]

Jiang Yuan found the sky suddenly darkening; looking up, he was instantly shocked and inhaled sharply!

Above the sky was an endless expanse of rolling black clouds, faintly visible were mountain ridges layered and stacked, and the vast Black Forest.

It felt like a scene where the Otherworld invaded, even with system reminders and psychological preparation, he felt parched and his heart racing.

If someone had a phobia of huge objects, wouldn't they be scared to death on the spot?



The sky grew increasingly ominous, with the black clouds pressing down at lightning speed.

"Boom!"

A sound wave rippled out, and in the blink of an eye, the clean bright courtyard vanished, replaced by shadows of mountains and deep forests; his newly acquired thatched cottage and two cherry trees weakly and pitifully nestled at the foot of a towering mountain.

"Roar!"

Unknown wild beasts roared on the mountain, causing Jiang Yuan's heart to feel numb.

"Damn! The wilderness descends so spectacularly!" He instinctively clenched the axe in his hand, thinking that the two cherry trees were wilderness products, and the background introduction mentioned that the wilderness had Spiritual Energy for cultivation and powerful races.

This means daytime is relatively safe for production, while nighttime demands adventure amidst wealth and danger?

"Roar!" Another more savage roar was heard, and simultaneously the ground shook, startling flocks of birds into flight, seemingly scared off by some terrifying large creature in contention.

A brand-new vast Otherworld stretched ahead; Jiang Yuan glanced at the fragile thatched cottage without daring to linger, quickly stowed away the axe into the storage bag and clicked exit.

"So tired, hungry, and exhausted..." Instantly returning to the familiar room filled him with a sense of safety, and though adventure was interesting, it should only be pursued when well-fed and well-rested; otherwise, it's akin to courting death actively.

Nevertheless, what happens if one dies in the wilderness game? Can they be resurrected?

The game didn't provide detailed information, leaving Jiang Yuan a bit curious.
