New Age Of Glory

Li Zhihuan and Li Haoxuan returned to the game room to see that the invited players are already in the game. Their father was staring at a huge monitor that reads each individual's brainwaves and making some notes.

Li Haoxuan continued to push his brother's wheelchair towards their own stations and helped his brother up.

"Did you two eat well? How are you feeling now?" a medical officer approached them and asked.

"We're feeling much better now. No more headache," Li Zhihuan answered. "So we can continue with the game, right?"

"As long as you promise to stop if you ever feel uncomfortable," the medic said and Li Zhihuan nods his head. "And you?" he turned to Li Haoxuan next.

"I promise!"

"Good," the medic then nods his head towards the staff and they helped Li Zhihuan and Li Haoxuan putting on the equipment.

Soon, the two find themselves in the beginner's village once more. Except for this time, there are nine other characters beside them. All with familiar faces.

"Hello! We meet again!" Li Zhihuan greeted them.

"Hello," Li Haoxuan followed suit.

"How is it? Think you can move?" Li Zhihuan asked in a slightly playful manner.

One of them tried to move, only to fall flat onto the ground, face first.

"Old Han, are you alright?" the voice of Ye Xiu could be heard.

"I'm alright," Han Wenqing answered. Then, he tried to stand up but seems to be having trouble.

"You need to focus on the game. Imagine, this is your world now. It's not the game. This is now your real body," Yu Wenzhou speaks up as he started to move. His movement is fluid as if this was not the first time he entered the VR world. Li Zhihuan and Li Haoxuan can't help but clap their hands in amazement.

"It took me about ten minutes to figure it out. To understand it so easily, you're good, Mister!" Li Zhihuan said with a smile on his face.

Other than Yu Wenzhou, Zhang Xinjie also had no problem moving. Ye Xiu, Qiao Yifan and Qiu Fei struggled slightly but they were able to move after hearing Yu Wenzhou's explanation. Even Han Wenqing is now successful in standing up.

"Where is Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping? Zhou Zekai?"

"I don't know. When I got here earlier, I don't see anyone else. Maybe they are still in character creation?" Ye Xiu said.

"Maybe. Should we wait for them?" Yu Wenzhou asked.

"No. Let's just start. Everyone should just disperse and meet up at Green Forest when we reach level 5. We'll just grind the dungeon for both experience and materials," Ye Xiu suggested.

"Alright. Then the first five to reach level five will go in one team. The rest will have to wait for the others," Han Wenqing added.

"Then, how about the first to reach level 5 and waits at the dungeon entrace will be the captain?" Ye Xiu was smiling as he said this. "The captain will have priority in drops."

As soon as Ye Xiu said this, Han Wenqing immediately began to move. Though his movement was still slightly awkward, it still shows that he was actually hurrying.

Soon after, the rest also followed suit and left the beginner's village to do quests. Ye Xiu, on the other hand, stared at Li Zhihuan and Li Haoxuan. "You two are already level 18, right?"

"Yes. We'll be able to choose class after two more levels," Li Zhihuan answered. "But my brother still couldn't make a choice."

"Oh, then… how do you feel about playing unspecialized?" Ye Xiu turned to Li Haoxuan.

"It's too much of a hassle to play unspecialized without a silver weapon like the Myriad Manifestation Umbrella. The equipment load is too much of a burden," Li Haoxuan answered.

"You can always make one," Ye Xiu said with a smile. Since Li Haoxuan didn't directly say no, it means that the young boy did entertain the thought of playing unspecialized. Ye Xiu felt that it would be too much of a pity if he did not seize this. The boy is still young, with proper guidance, he should be able to play the unspecialized class.

"No blueprint, no materials. Too much work…"

"Think about it. If you decide to play unspecialized, I'll help," Ye Xiu decided to throw in his last pitch.

When Li Zhihuan heard this, he quickly grabbed his brother's arm and pulled him away. "Ah'Xuan! You should accept, ah! God Ye is going to help you! Isn't that the same as taking you as his apprentice?"

"Do you want me to play unspecialized?" Li Haoxuan asked his brother when he saw the excited look on the other's face.

"Do you want to?" Li Zhihuan asked back.

The twin both understood that if the other didn't want to, then they should not force them. So if Li Haoxuan really didn't want to play unspecialized, Li Zhihuan couldn't force him. But in the end, Li Haoxuan still nods his head.

"I'll give it a try. But only if he also teaches you how to play cleric properly! I still remember how you failed to heal me at the spider cave dungeon!" Li Haoxuan crossed his arms.

"I already apologized for that… I was just taken by surprise by how real the spiders look like. You can't blame me, Ah'Xuan…" Li Zhihuan pouted.

"Doesn't matter. The orange equipment I got from Midnight Phantom Cat was lost because of that," Li Haoxuan said, lamenting the loss of the equipment.

"It's alright! If you decide to follow God Ye, he'll help you make a weapon! Then you don't have to worry about a piece of single orange equipment!"

"You're really good at convincing people, huh?" Li Haoxuan said before shaking his head. "Fine. Let's go and tell him."

The twin returned to Ye Xiu and told him their decision. Ye Xiu gave them a satisfied smile and nods his head. "Good. I promise that you won't regret. Now that is settled, I want you two to continue to grind the skeleton graveyard dungeon until you reach level 20," Ye Xiu told the two boys. "Once you're done, do the same with Frost Forest. On your second run, I should be able to accompany you," Ye Xiu informed the two.

"Can you level that fast? What if we got to level 26 and you still haven't caught up?" Li Haoxuan asked.

"Can you finish Frost Forest quickly just with the two of you?" Ye Xiu asked.

"I think so…?"

"Having confidence is good. If you believe that you can finish, then do so," Ye Xiu said with a smile. "Even if you can't, there will be me to help. I will bring Xiao Fei and Yifan along."

"Alright. Then, we'll go and level quickly," Li Zhihuan said before he pulled Li Haoxuan over so they can continue to level.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiu stays for a while and began to look at the game properly. "How do you check your status again…" Ye Xiu mumbled as he tried to remember the things that he read in the booklet. "Ah, right. System."

Ye Xiu called out the system and an almost transparent panel appeared before him. It shows his character status as well as the items he has in his inventory. After making sure that everything is alright, he closed the panel and tried to send a message to both Qiu Fei and Qiao Yifan privately.

Once again, a panel appeared in the form of a keyboard and as Ye Xiu typed on it, strings of characters appeared in the air. After clicking send, he finally decided to leave the beginner's village.

He had just stepped out of the village gate when he heard a notification ring. At the lower corner of his view, he could see a small icon with the shape of an envelop. Gesturing to press it, the mail from Qiao Yifan opened. It says that he is currently leveling with Qiu Fei and had just reached level 2.

"Not bad," Ye Xiu said before he tried sending a team invite to the two.

[System: The Player you're trying to invite is already in team.]

The system message appeared right in front of his eyes. "Hmm… I hope other system messages won't be like this or else, it will be too distracting," Ye Xiu commented as he typed a message to Qiao Yifan with one hand.

Not long after, he received a team invitation and when he saw the notification message, he can't help but sigh. The panel appeared right in front of his vision, taking much space in his field of vision.

"Guess I know what to write in my report for the first day. I'm sure the others also find this troublesome," Ye Xiu said as he accepted the invitation.

"Senior, can you hear me?"

"Master, you're still level 1?"

Both Qiao Yifan and Qiu Fei asked at the same time. The sound that was transmitted sounded like how the normal voice chat would sound. "I can hear you well, Yifan. Are you two close to level 3?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Yes. We are now at 97%," Qiu Fei answered.

"Good. I'll catch up soon," Ye Xiu said as he began to move. Less than five minutes later, Ye Xiu got to level 3 and both Qiu Fei and Qiao Yifan can only admire the speed.

"Master, you're used to the control already?" Qiu Fei asked.

"En. Compared to the keyboard and mouse, it is more complicated. But at the same time, because it emulates our body movement, it is easy once you get the hang of it," Ye Xiu said as he killed another monster. "The thing that I am still confused about is the skills."

"I've tried to execute some. Sometimes it works, sometime it failed," Ye Xiu informed the two.

"About that, we've also had some trouble releasing some of the skills…" Qiao Yifan said before letting out a sigh. "That's why our leveling speed is slower."

"That's to be expected. Let me try checking up on Old Han," Ye Xiu said as he sends a message towards Han Wenqing. Thirty seconds passed and there was still no reply. In the end, Ye Xiu sends another message to Zhang Xinjie. It only took five seconds before he received a reply.

"Heh. Looks like everyone is in the same boat," Ye Xiu said as he read the message from Zhang Xinjie.

[Zhang Xinjie: Old Han has been using basic attacks since the start. He had just gotten to level 2.]

"The one who wins is not the first to make the move, but the first to figure out how the system works…" Ye Xiu said as he then sent another message. This time, it was addressed to the twins.

[Ye Xiu: How does the skill system work?]
