Chapter 3 – Entering the Realm of Spirits

In front of Instructor Yu, Su Wangchuan felt immense pressure, as if facing a fierce beast exuding a powerful aura and deep gaze. He unconsciously nodded and replied:

"I was a fitness streamer for two years."

"No wonder..."

Instructor Yu nodded and said to Su Wan:

"His qualities are a bit better than the previous ones. I'll take him."

"Alright, then I'll leave him to you."

"Good luck, Wangchuan."

Su Wan reverted to her previous charming, girl-next-door demeanor and turned to leave.

"Thank you, Supervisor Su."

Su Wangchuan watched Su Wan leave.

Instructor Yu's voice came:

"Your physical condition is quite good. You can definitely handle this job. Follow me."

Su Wangchuan, holding the game helmet box, followed Instructor Yu into the elevator and up to the 70th floor.

Instructor Yu seemed to sense his curiosity and proactively explained:

"This entire building belongs to our studio."

"..."

Su Wangchuan was stunned.

Such a massive enterprise?

What kind of family does this prodigal come from?

Unaware of the strange thoughts swirling in Su Wangchuan's mind, Instructor Yu continued introducing:

"As long as you perform well and complete tasks on time each month, your monthly salary and bonuses will be at least twenty thousand... Our game studio has five departments, and the top ones can earn seventy to eighty thousand in a single day..."

"The premise is, you must be obedient."

"Many people, in their quest to seize more resources in the game, take risks and end up... being expelled by the company."

"A game studio isn't about individual heroism; it's about becoming a precise war machine! Everyone must shine in their position! When the time is right, you'll be promoted to another department, and naturally, your salary will increase significantly."

Su Wangchuan couldn't quite grasp Instructor Yu's words, simply categorizing them as empty promises.

After all...

He hadn't even received his ten thousand yuan monthly salary yet.

Talking about earning a hundred thousand a day seemed a bit unreliable.

Instructor Yu led him to the 70th floor, which had a completely different layout.

It seemed to be a series of apartments.

Instructor Yu casually opened one of the doors and walked in.

Inside was a large hall structure, a duplex with a bed, bathroom, and cameras.

"When entering the game, make sure you're in a relatively quiet and safe environment, or else if you're disturbed midway, it could endanger your game character!"

"Su Wan should have already told you about the many restrictions in the game. The game character has only one life... If it dies, the account is useless, and the game helmet will self-destruct."

"So..."

"Every game player must be fully prepared."

At this point, Instructor Yu pointed to the sofa and said:

"Put on the helmet, create a character, log into the game. Once you enter the village, you'll randomly spawn in any village. Your task is to send me the village name and number, so I can see who from the studio is with you."

"Okay."

Su Wangchuan quickly sat down and followed the instructions, putting on the game helmet.

A red light scanned his eyes.

A voice echoed in his ears:

"New user detected, would you like to create a character now?"

"Yes!"

A lifelike 3D image of himself appeared before Su Wangchuan's eyes, though the clothes were rather rough, worn gray fabric, and he wore straw sandals.

"Please name the new character."

"Wangchuan."

"Character creation successful, would you like to enter the game?"

"Yes."

"Since this is the first time a new user is entering 'Spirit Realm,' you will be randomly assigned to a novice village."

After the system prompt, Su Wangchuan suddenly found his vision darkening.

Then, the sound of roosters crowing and rhythmic blacksmithing echoed in his ears...

Opening his eyes, he found himself in a village.

Su Wangchuan looked around.

The village was surrounded by earthen walls made of dirt and stones, with dozens of wooden houses scattered around;

Not far away was a sturdy village gate, with two guards holding spears sitting nearby.

It had a very ancient village feel.

But something felt odd.

What kind of village needs a two-meter-high earthen wall?

What kind of village needs dedicated guards?

What dangers lie outside?

Oh well.

It's just a game, having a dragon in the village wouldn't be surprising.

Remembering Instructor Yu's instructions, Su Wangchuan summoned his status panel.

A transparent frame appeared before him:

Wangchuan: Male (Vagrant) (Hunger 100/100)

Strength 8; Attack 2-3

Agility 8; Defense 1.6; Speed +8;

Stamina 8; Health 80/80;

Spirit 8: (Inactive).

Current location, Tiannan Continent, Nanyu Kingdom, Sanhe Commandery, Huishui County, Blackstone Village.

"Blackstone Village."

Su Wangchuan quickly memorized his current spawn location, chose to exit the game, and informed Instructor Yu.

The latter nodded and said:

"Not bad."

"Recently, new players have mostly been placed in Huishui County. We have people in Blackstone Village. I'll notify them, and you can follow them to learn about Blackstone Village and the game rules."

"Okay."

Following Instructor Yu's guidance, Su Wangchuan re-entered the game.

After a while, a man in similar cloth clothing, appearing around twenty-five or twenty-six, came out of the village and greeted from afar:

"Are you the company's new employee? Hello, I'm Lin Dahai."

"Hello, Brother Lin, I'm Wangchuan."

Su Wangchuan greeted politely.

"Haha, no need to be so formal, young man. Come, Wangchuan, I'll take you to the Village Chief to change your vagrant status and register your household in Blackstone Village. It'll make coming and going much easier."

"Alright."

As a first-time player, Su Wangchuan naturally followed the instructions of the experienced employee.

"New players have a one-week adaptation period."

Lin Dahai, appearing easygoing, began chatting:

"Blackstone Village isn't big. As long as you remember the game rules and don't leave the village casually, you can quickly start working with us."

"Our Blackstone Village is near an iron mine. We rise with the rooster's crow, head into the mountains to mine, and at noon, a county convoy comes to collect the ore by weight."

"We usually finish by then, return to the village to rest, and log off to do other things."

"Every seven days, someone from the studio comes to collect silver, and bonuses are calculated based on the amount."

"That's basically the situation."

"Got it?"

Su Wangchuan nodded:

"Got it, so the daily task is mining in Blackstone Village."

"Exactly! The more you work, the more you earn!"

As they spoke, they arrived at the Village Chief's courtyard.

Lin Dahai advised: "Go in yourself and say you want to register in Blackstone Village. He'll issue you a Household Registration Certificate, and there's no need to say more."
