In the future world, resources were scarce, and virtual reality games became the most mainstream. NPCs with self-awareness leveled up quickly like players. Players with NPC panels enjoyed their second life. Jiang Han was a new boss. He didn't have any skills. All he had was a pay-to-win ability that could consume gold coins.
In the Tianchen Battlefield, outside a village, there was an absolute forbidden area that no one was allowed to enter. On the outskirts of the Dead Paradise, there was an ancient castle.
In the eyes of outsiders, this was the lair of the dead and the base camp of the boss. However, in the eyes of the villagers, this was just a rich young master who had too much money to spend and was experiencing excitement.
A brain-dead idiot.
At the bottom of the castle, in the sewer, a man was gradually waking up. His face was throbbing with pain, as if he was recalling something bad.
A series of memories appeared. It was a group of black-robed men who had rashly barged into the castle as if they were looking for something. They had ruthlessly invaded the castle and plundered everything that could be seen.
As for him, the owner of the castle, not only did he not resist, he even took the initiative to hand over the castle and was willing to be a soldier to lead the team to offer up his wealth.
However, what he got in return was not pity, but a merciless kick.
When his head came into contact with the floor, his memories began to fade away, and in exchange, he was filled with endless anger.
How can a commoner be worthy of stepping on me? I am a member of the Shangguan family, the overlord of Qingzhou.
Who, who can hear my deal? As long as you give me the power to overturn everything, I will serve you as my master…
No, this isn't me. I should be a player on the Blue Planet, diligently farming gold. But why am I here?
'Oh right, I think I've encountered something…'
The two memories began to clash, causing the man to fall into a state of confusion. However, the latter's memories continued to accumulate, and they became richer and richer. In one go, the former's memories were completely wiped out.
Then, the light in the man's eyes began to dissipate. Instead, it was replaced by endless calmness and composure.
"What is this? Am I still in the game?"
As the man finished speaking, a screen of light appeared in front of him.
"I'm still in the game, but this place is also that place.
Didn't the resurrection happen in the village?
Could it be that there was a BUG?
As expected, I shouldn't have been greedy and used the old game capsule."
Jiang Han sighed helplessly. He was a young man with no morals on the Blue Star. He couldn't even support himself, let alone be carefree.
Because he was seriously ill, his health was far worse than that of a normal person. In order to buy medicine over the years, he had spent almost all his savings.
He had thought that he would live one day at a time, but he did not expect the new game to give him a glimmer of twilight.
Inside, even a disabled person could earn a living by farming gold.
If one joined a guild, they would be like a white-collar worker in an enterprise, achieving financial freedom.
Professional players were like stars, receiving the admiration of millions.
In this current world, with the lack of resources, people could not guarantee their material needs. Instead, they were extremely thirsty for spiritual needs.
Therefore, the games on the market were like a hundred flowers competing for beauty, but they soon died out.
Only this game could last less than ten seconds on the day of the server launch with millions of gaming capsules at a price of 10,000 each.
Three months had passed, and although the number of game capsules had reached 100 million, the supply was still in short supply.
There were even tycoons who bought it ten times over in the black market.
As for Jiang Han, he had also obtained a scrapped game capsule from an unknown orbit and relied on it to enter this mysterious game.
"Forget it, let's retreat first. My life is more important," Jiang Han muttered to himself. Suddenly, his eyes were filled with fear as he stared blankly at the interface.
The game exit interface disappeared.
Could it be that some of the functions in the game had malfunctioned?
Or was he already…
With a hint of unease, Jiang Han opened his character panel. When he saw it, his heart instantly turned ashen.

"How did I become an NPC? Could it be that the game pod exploded, and I died and took over this NPC's body?"
As Jiang Han was puzzled, he suddenly felt a pain in his head and a resentful voice echoed.
"Kill, kill them."
"It hurts, it hurts, okay…okay."
With Jiang Han's reply, the pain in his head gradually lessened. He also heaved a sigh of relief. This damn obsession.
You still dare to take revenge with this strength? You're a dead man anyway. Why would I think my life is short?
"You're awake." Just as Jiang Han was complaining, a woman suddenly appeared beside him. The appearance of this woman made Jiang Han's eyes widen. This was the prelude to danger.
Name: Luo Xue
[Level: Level 5]
[Life Rating: Level II (Elite NPC)]
[Class: Spiritual Official]
HP: ??
Damage:
[Remark: Mysterious unknown girl, not human.]
……
If it wasn't for the fact that the character in front of him was related to him, he probably wouldn't even be able to find out his name or class.
What surprised Jiang Han the most was that this woman's life form was actually at Level 2.
This was the elite panel.
Although it was nothing in the game, in the novice village, it was the standard for a small boss.
Fortunately, the woman in front of him was not an enemy. Instead, she was a free maid from the original owner's family. The original owner was also grateful to her. Otherwise, she would have been dragged to feed the dogs.
However, although she was a maid, she was dressed more luxuriously than the original owner. Her clothes also revealed a faint pressure, and the way she looked at Jiang Han was filled with disgust.
"Since you're awake, hurry back to the village. The village will punish those villains."
After Luo Xue finished speaking, her eyes did not linger on Jiang Han at all, nor did she notice the subtle changes in Jiang Han.
After Jiang Han heard this, he did not say anything. Instead, he first looked around.
It was dark, dirty, and smelly. The narrow and winding space gave people the feeling that it was very crowded and spacious.
Sewers. For someone who lived in the dark all year round, sewers were definitely very familiar.
Moreover, the introduction on the interface showed that he owned an ancient castle. Moreover, through the introduction on the interface, Jiang Han could guess that if he wanted to escape from the ancient castle, the door was one choice. The other choice was…
"Dong dong." Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came, interrupting Jiang Han's thoughts and causing Luo Xue's calm face to fluctuate.
Little Hooligan, Level 1, Health 15, Damage 6, Defense 2.
[Remark: Village hooligans, responding to the summons of important figures, coming and going here.]
"Why can't we kill those guys? Wait here, I'll go deal with them."
After Luo Xue finished speaking, she turned around and left. However, at this moment, Jiang Han suddenly pulled her back.
In an instant, Luo Xue's chest heaved up and down, anger rising from her heart. However, she realized that Jiang Han's hand was not trembling as usual.
Instead, he was extremely calm.
"I'll attack first." Jiang Han's eyes were firm as he said calmly,"You restrain me later. I'll attack."
What? Upon hearing Jiang Han's words, Luo Xue actually did not recover from her shock for a moment. She even suspected that she had suffered some kind of stimulation and had given up on herself.
However, before Luo Xue could come back to her senses, she found that Jiang Han had already disappeared into the darkness. In his hand, a long sword was already held.
No, in the darkness, Jiang Han's figure was blurred in Luo Xue's eyes.
Although the light was dim, she could still see the same thing with her eyesight. What about the others?
Not only was his vision blurry, but his footsteps were also invisible. It was as if he was an assassin in stealth.
