“Welcome to the world of ‘Divine Land’. Binding the account to your DNA, please wait…”

“The binding is complete. Your identity has been automatically retrieved. Verification of identity successful. Retrieving information of the debit card account bound to your ID card, please wait…”

“Bank card binding is complete… Please confirm that the identity information is correct…”

“Name: Jiang Ming, address: XXX… Debit card: 6222024… Do you wish to modify the above information?”

“No need!”

“Do you want to enter the character hall?”

“Yes!”

In the pitch-black darkness, Jiang Ming listened to the system voice in his ear. He knew that his consciousness was within the channel that led to the game. After his identity was linked, he could then officially enter the character hall.

As the system voice stopped, bright lights suddenly shone before his eyes. Alleviating the glare a little, he began to look around.

He found that he was in front of a big tree beside a waterfall.

A rainbow was hanging in the sky, and colorful birds flew by, making crisp cries.

Different flowers blossom next to the big tree, and the waterfall gushed down and shattered the lake, causing clouds of mist, making the surroundings become hazy – as if a fairyland – spectacular beyond words.

“Welcome to the character hall, I am your guide NPC. Do you want to create a character?”

Just as Jiang Ming was admiring the beautiful scenery that surrounded him, a voice came from above the big tree.

He raised his head and looked above. He didn’t know when it happened, but an adorable loli had appeared on the big tree. She was sitting on the branch, swinging her white and tender legs, smiling at him.

“What the! I thought that Tenglong Company only puts efforts into advertising. I didn’t expect that even a hall for character-building would be so well-made, and even the NPC is so realistic. It seems that Tenglong really put in a lot of efforts in this game.”

The “Divine Land” advertisement had spread all over the world. It said that the world of “Divine Land” was like a paradise on earth and that all NPCs were controlled by the intelligent host computer ‘Divine Dragon’, and there would be no GMs.

Putting aside whether the NPC in front of him was a GM, just the scenes surrounding him that were marvellous imitations of reality were enough to capture Jiang Ming’s interest in this game.

“Divine Land” is the world’s first ever virtual game, developed by Tenglong Game Company of Hualong Country. It is said that the game underwent ten years of research and development. In order to take part in the operation of this game, game companies from numerous countries had invested hundreds of billions of dollars in the game. The game even opened a currency exchange system for several currencies.

These news were what Jiang Ming had heard from the gamers when he was collecting wastes in Internet cafes, and he wasn’t sure whether they were true or false.

At least from what he had seen now, it seemed that the authenticity of this game was indeed very high. It was as if he was really physically in this world, just like in the real world. Of course, to have such a high degree of realism was, in part, due to his supreme account.

“Yes.”

Now, he was in no mood to pay so much attention to the advertisement of the game. He had not played any game for three years. Now, his addiction to games had been reawakened, and he could not wait to enter the game right away.

But ten years of gaming experience made him suppress his gaming addiction. After all, being too anxious would result in big mistakes.

He remembered that one game he played before was not a competitive game, but rather a role-playing game, but because he was overly excited to experience the game, he had not checked the game information, which led to wrong choice of job and wrong distribution of attribute points. In the end, the character became a useless existence, so he had to delete the account and stop playing.

Not only him, this kind of excitement and irrational emotion at the beginning had made many players share the same experience.

Now that he was a veteran of gaming, he would naturally not make such mistakes.

“Please create a character name.” The loli NPC smiled.

“Immovable Protector… Forget it, don’t use that, just call it Misty River.”

“Immovable Protector” was the character name he had always used in games before. Even if that name was associated with his success and glory, they were all in the past. He was now ready to start anew, so he was not going to use that name.

“The character name ‘Misty River’ has not been used. Your character has been established. Dear Mistry River, because you’re using the Supreme VIP account, you will receive a Supreme gift package and a chance to draw the lottery. Would you like to start the draw?”

“Gift package? Lottery?” Jiang Ming thought with joy, ‘It seems that the Supreme VIP account is not only different in authenticity, but there’s also rewards.’

Jiang Ming nodded. The Loli NPC waved her hand, and a huge roulette appeared in front of him. The dense grids on the roulette made him dizzy, and he was too lazy to check the roulette. He clicked the start button next to it, and the next moment, the round disk began to spin.

“Ding… Congratulations Misty River, you have received an item. It has been placed in your inventory, you can check it after entering the game” Loli NPC said with a smile.

“Not sure what props I got. I’ll wait after entering the game to find out.”

Jiang Ming was taken aback for a moment then said with some eagerness.
