Protagonist:

Chen Yi

The computer emitted a "beep," and Chen Yi boredly opened the desktop on the desk, letting his little sister play with her terminal there.

He also entered the Floating Mountain Game Platform, and played Moqi World, the game with the most players.

Millions online simultaneously, plus an easy-to-learn-hard-to-master combat style, made it popular nationwide within months. Its level system was also very reasonable, basically fluctuating according to the player's gaming ability; Chen Yi basically hovered around levels six to seven from learning to liking it, and despite this, he still surpassed many bottom-tier players.

Waving his hand to enter the Big Map, Chen Yi ran toward where there were many people, constantly making shooting motions with his bow and arrow.

The Big Map was the Chaos Zone, exactly the kind of place players like Chen Yi, neither high nor low, liked most; just now, for example, he easily killed two level 3 players, losing only one-third of his own blood volume, and could continue forward without needing to recover.

The speakers emitted beeping sounds, which were experience and item acquisitions.

Chen Yi smiled broadly as he walked toward the center.

The Big Map was divided into 10 layers in total; the more outer the area, the wider it was, but the relative density was not small either. Players who survived on the map for 1 minute would receive corresponding experience, and it was said that the experience in Center 10th Layer was more per minute than a whole day in the outer areas.

However, the closer to the center area, the higher the player density, the fiercer the battles, and the easier it was to be killed. Besides Center 10th Layer, after dying in the other nine zones, players would be thrown into lower areas, while the center area would throw them into the outermost layer.

From outer layer to inner layer, nonstop charging and killing; even for professional players, it was a test of considerable difficulty.

Besides gaining experience through survival, various random chests would spawn in each layer area, and players could obtain items by guarding a chest for 1 minute.

In addition, killing people could of course also obtain items and chests.

Chen Yi usually could kill his way out of the outer three layers, but once he reached the Fourth Layer, the ending was often unhappy.

This time, he stayed in the Third Layer for about two minutes, and after killing two people with practiced methods, he adjusted his posture, preparing to cross the glowing blue dashed line on the screen.

Just then, a blade flashed by.

Chen Yi's screen instantly turned white.

It was actually someone ambushing him.

His little sister giggled behind him and said loudly: "Second Brother is so bad, do you want me to carry you?"

Chen Yi's face instantly darkened.

If being mocked by a beauty was the third most embarrassing thing in the world, then the second most shameful thing was being mocked by younger brothers and sisters.

Even if it was a joke, Chen Yi could not take it.

He immediately stood up, walked into his bedroom, closed the door, opened the wooden box, tore open a Level 3 Agility Scroll, then drank three Level 3 Energy Recovery Potions in succession before adjusting his mood and walking back to the study with his hands clasped behind his back, cracking his knuckles and sitting back down in the chair.

Red light flickered at the Tiger's Mouth, and his eyes were full of focus.

For any game requiring operation, a player's degree of Agility was one of the factors.

In most games, it was still the most important quality.

And in Moqi World, a game that was easy to learn but hard to master, the faster the hand movements, the faster the skill release motions, and at the same time there would be more variations in movement.

Below that game screen, nearly a hundred skills were densely packed, each corresponding to one, two, or even multiple keys on the keyboard. Those gentlemen who could stand firm in the center area not only mastered all skills but also had to be fast enough.

Chen Yi originally remembered most of them, like an ordinary player, but in fierce battles, being able to do one-fifth or one-quarter was already quite good, and maintaining quality and quantity was even more difficult.

After having the Agility Scroll, the situation was completely different.

This game was all about speed.

Being a hair faster than the enemy meant living a bit longer. Being faster than every enemy meant being invincible under heaven.

A Level 3 Agility Scroll could increase sensitivity by 90%, including hand speed, personal reaction time, eye nerve dynamic visual acuity, personal insight, and many other factors.

Analyzing from the data, Chen Yi, whose hand movement speed was originally just over 150, after adding the scroll, quickly reached the limit of 300 hand speed. And whether it was himself or other players who were fast to an astonishing degree, he could easily distinguish them through the screen and react to the situations encountered.

In the gaming world, this was already the level of a professional player.

Chen Yi smiled with "righteous and evil aura," and said with a voice full of lollipop: "Chen Rongxi, come, let's PK on the Big Map, the two of us."

PK meant player versus player combat.

His little sister was well versed in this, immediately smiled all over her face, connected her notebook, and said: "Where should we meet?"

Big Map PK was a unique gameplay of Moqi World; besides fighting each other, the blood volume and magic consumed to reach the designated destination, as well as the extra risks of the destination, all had to be taken into account.

This naturally contained a considerable luck factor, but it was especially attractive to non-professional players.

Perhaps one big burst of luck could offset the frustration of ten failures, like gambling, lotteries, and the implied added value of serving the people.

"Fourth Zone," Chen Yi said, and his character started moving.

Chen Rongxi was the same, but when she focused on her own screen, she wouldn't see how Chen Yi was cutting down the characters in front of him like cutting melons and vegetables, killing them one by one.

In Moqi World's Big Map, player density was very high, basically equivalent to the density of a newbie village during a popular game's server launch. Most people, for safety's sake, mostly hid in forests and grass, on one hand staying away from crowds to earn considerable experience, and on the other hand to facilitate ambushes and recovery.

And after Chen Yi applied the Agility Scroll, dodging attacks was simply divine; in the time others swung a knife once, he could shoot arrows three to five times. Ordinary melee players couldn't get close at all, and ranged players could counterattack at most once before being shot until their bodies stiffened and lost combat power.

After practicing a bit with a few people, Chen Yi's character "Volcano" simply ran toward the Main Road, its arrogant posture almost like those people in the center area.

The Main Road was the fastest way to the center area, but also the widest and the easiest way to attract combat.

After silence for over ten seconds, some resentful guys stood up first and swung their knives at him.

Chen Yi counterattacked without hesitation. His left hand frantically tapped the keyboard, while his right hand's mouse traced various trajectories in the air.

On the screen, three little figures were moving desperately.

And Chen Yi's mouse, every time, just happened to draw across the direction the opponent was advancing.

Increasing Agility by 90% was no joke.

The archer with "Volcano" written above his head only lightly moved two steps to the side, turned around and shot back, followed by a second arrow, third arrow, fourth arrow... in between, he also shot a Magic Arrow...

A Magic Arrow was a series of complex actions, including taking out the arrow, aiming, shooting, adding magic, calibrating, and recovering—over 15 key presses across 6 states.

In the past, when Chen Yi released a Magic Arrow, nine out of ten times it failed. And other players obviously knew its difficulty and requirements.

Seeing the blue glowing light of the Magic Arrow, the gentlemen of the second layer instantly lost the thought of resistance, moved unconsciously twice, and then offered their necks to be slaughtered, like a group of little chickens being robbed of their bodies by naked men in a kitchen.

"Fire Element Kill Streak 10!" On the right side of the screen, the Announcement for the Second Zone began to refresh.

In light of this, Chen Yi's subsequent journey became smooth immediately.

Those who want to survive long in the great Battlefield must constantly monitor the Battle information on the right side, knowing who cannot be taken advantage of, in order to live a bit longer — this is the same as the Weasel's Survival Philosophy: can eat mice, can eat chicks, but don't bite people's pets.
