Chapter 1

An ethereal and cold voice echoed in the minds of tens of billions of Blue Stars, sending shockwaves through everyone. In a rental house in Dragon Country, Qin Feng was on the verge of lighting a cigarette when the voice abruptly resonated within him, causing him to startle. In the blink of an eye, a blinding flash of white light enveloped him, pulling him into a vast, swirling vortex of space. As the radiance dissipated, he found himself standing in an unfamiliar log cabin.

The cabin was simple, with a dirt-covered floor, weathered black wooden walls, and a confined space devoid of even a bed. A series of messages appeared before him:

[Welcome to No. 911 Novice Village. Initial population: 1,000.]

[You are now in a novice cabin!]

[Reminder: The novice wooden house is blessed by heaven, invulnerable without your consent.]

[Reminder: Resting here doubles your recovery rate for physical strength and energy.]

[Reminder: You can now use the Tiandao light screen...]

In the next instant, a deluge of information flooded Qin Feng's consciousness. Responding to his thoughts, a translucent panel materialized before him, displaying two options at the bottom right: [Personal Information] and [Chat Channel]. He selected the former and a fresh page emerged.

[Name]: Qin Feng

[Level]: Level 1 (0/100)

[Strength]: 8

[Agility]: 9

[Physical]: 8

[Energy]: 28

[Talent]: Unawakened

[Skill]: None

[Combat Strength Evaluation]: 1 star

Perusing his stats, Qin Feng pondered the significance of his 1-star combat power rating. His curiosity led him to the bustling chat channel where avatars pulsed with energy. Unadorned appearances were the norm, with each figure accompanied by a name and age. Qin Feng, though indifferent to appearances, focused on the dialogue:

"I'm trapped in this cabin! Can someone explain what's happening?"

"Hey, we've been thrown into some deadly world by 'Tiandao.' It's likely survival of the fittest!"

"Waaah! I don't want to die! I haven't even had a boyfriend!"

"Hey, don't panic! Dying isn't guaranteed. Let's first check our stats. My combat rating is 1 star, what about you guys?"

"Mine's also 1 star!"

"Same here!"

"Looks like we've all got the same rating."

"No, it's not the same! I'm almost at 2 stars!"

"Hey, why the 1-star cap? Upstairs, what are your strength, agility, physique, and energy stats?"

"I've got 18 strength, 13 agility, 14 physique, and 7 energy."

"18 strength?! I'm at 9, you're double mine!"

"Whoa! Dude, your first three stats are impressive. We're gonna be buddies!"

"Jackpot! I'm Wang Qiang, a boxing enthusiast. My strength focus helped my score."

"Guys, from Wang Qiang's stats, higher star ratings indicate more combat power!"

"Totally! I'm envious of Wang Qiang's 1-star extreme warrior status."

Qin Feng grasped the connection between combat power and the four-dimensional index. Elevating these attributes equated to enhanced combat prowess. Most had a 1-star rating, while a select few neared 2 stars.

Observing further, he gleaned this chat channel belonged to Novice Village No. 911, and the world chat wasn't yet open. Average four-dimensional index values appeared to be 10 points for each aspect.

Surveying his own attributes, Qin Feng's strength, agility, and physique fell below 10 due to his slight build. However, his energy was an astonishing 28 points, dwarfing even the highest recorded value of 13.

Suddenly, the voice of Tiandao resounded once more:

[Announcement: Your innate abilities will awaken in a minute based on your four-dimensional index and nature.]

[Reminder: Innate abilities range from F to SSS levels. F is weakest, SSS is highest.]

[Reminder: Talents above SS are unique. Good luck!]

The channel erupted in excitement.

"Finally, talent awakening time!"

"I hope mine isn't terrible!"

"I'm praying my talent isn't rubbish!"

"Wait, what's a unique talent above SS?"

"It means each type of SS-level talent is one-of-a-kind."

"Wow, SS talents must be super rare and powerful."

"Definitely!"

Qin Feng, too, wondered about his talent. Suddenly, a white light descended upon him, followed by a radiant golden glow. A message materialized in his thoughts:

[Congratulations! You've awakened the SSS-level talent - Endless Extraction.]

Ecstatic, he wondered about its use.

He focused on the talent description:

[Endless Extraction: Initiate extraction on any target for unexpected effects.]

The vague description meant he needed to experiment to fully understand its capabilities. Curious about others' talents, he returned to the chat channel where elation filled the text:

"I'm awakened! I'm an E-level strength enhancer—double strength!"

"I've got speed enhancement. I'll be twice as fast!"

"Not bad! I've got physique enhancement, doubling defense when active."

"Holy smokes! I'm a D-level flame manipulator!"

"Amazing! I've got ice manipulation! I'm practically a superhero!"

"Fascinating world!"

"I enhance my sense of smell, but it's only 10 times better. Worst F-level talent ever!"

As the story unfolded, Qin Feng's excitement grew.
