System: Game World

Returning to Reality

The space vanished and Tang Ling reappeared on the same spot, he then looked at the [Samishira Intent] and tried to a message appeared :

[You've not accumulated Qi, the Samishira Intent cannot be activated until Level 10]

Dammit, what's the point of giving it to me?

Tang Ling didn't understand what was these rewards but he definitely knew that it was very good or OP. The Heavenly Moon Palace opening was not a physical-entity but more like a talent so upon receiving it, Tang Ling could feel something filling up inside of his head.

The sort of "filling" made his thoughts clearer and senses sharper. He didn't know how to describe it but it felt pleasurable.

"System Tip: Levels are with experiences. You can earn EXP from killing monsters or completing quests"

"The Exp from {Gather the Sunflowers} ?" asked Tang Ling.

"Yes, you have gathered 50 EXP to level up to Lv 1. (50/50). Do you wish to level up ?"

"Yes"

[You've reached Lv 1. Unlocking Stats section...

Handicraft Lv 2: An amateur of manufacturing. Your proficiency of hands is pretty good in terms of the quality of a worker. ]

Tang Ling could only nod at these descriptions, even if he didn't know why his skills were in level, the System stats sheet described himself entirely.

[Evaluation: A normal person who has better strength than others. (More information at LV5)]

Even with the increase of the strength of the [System], Tang Ling was still a normal human who had more strength than a normal bully. But if he leveled up more... Maybe he could have more strength to protect his sister!

[System Notification: You have spent 16 hours in this world (8 hours in real-time). You are now required to disconnect.]

Tang Ling felt a suction behind and began to plunge into darkness...

After a few seconds, Tang Ling opened his eyes and saw the sun.

(Hum... The dream world is twice as fast as the real one... And after 8 hours of "sleep", one would be expulsed..)

"Um ?!" Tang Ling could see his stats on screen. It was exactly the same as the game! Apart from the fact that his stats were reduced due to not having equipped the Bracelet Of Innocent Youth.

Then a button and a message were here :

{ The items and stats of Heavenly Ascension can be used in the real world. Everything you learned or practiced in Heavenly Ascension is retained in the real world and vice-versa (Example: your skills from real life have been synchronized in the game world. The button here can take out your items anytime in your body. Just push the button and you think what you want and it would appear (only equipment, to take out items, please go to Inventory) }

Reading it, Tang Ling pressed the button and the Bracelet of Innocent Youth appeared instantly. His lost feelings of constant vitality disappeared off.

After these changes, Tang Ling looked at the side and his sister wasn't here. He then woke up and went to the kitchen. At the little dining table, there was a bowl of gruels and a small piece of paper :

"Since you've taken your time to sleep, I prepared the breakfast for you. Go to work now and get some credits for us ya ?"

This letter warmed Tang Ling's heart and he began to eat the still-warm gruel.

After finishing his breakfast, Tang Ling took his coat and left the apartment. At that moment, he saw Ducke waiting for him.

"Ducke, you bastard! This was a *flushing* rain day yesterday! Even if you're my partner, I won't forgive you !"

Yes, Ducke his neighbor was a teammate of his. With him, they would sometimes cooperate with each other to do some jobs like transporting beds or food. This time was no different; they would start seeking jobs and if it's too much, call the other one.

After scolding for about 10 minutes, Tang Ling and Ducke separated themselves to job-hunt. Even if he has the System, the System wouldn't give him the money to survive.

Tang Ling walked over the gray streets, here; all kinds of people lived here: failed businessmen, thugs, thieves, good people, workers... It was a large area between the official "great" city that the city wanted to convey and the black streets where criminals lurk. Here, the security is minimal but was still safer than the criminal areas. Where the siblings live was also in the grey street, although it was a little more on the "light" side.

Job hunting was pretty hard as in the grey or poor areas, people are suspicious of others. If he had nothing to do and had an urgent need of credits, he could go line up to a factory or a mine. His [Handicraft] was also developed here when he was a child and was sewing cheap clothes. He could only sew, being abused, sew... For only 1 credit a day...
