Chapter 1: Entering the World Network for the First Time
In the Spring Festival of 2050, after the cold snap in the southern town, the plants that had been dormant under the severe cold and snow stood up resolutely, some were still green, and some had slightly yellowed. At this moment of alternation between the old and the new, life seems to have ushered in its own turning point.
In the villa area on the outskirts of Jiangcheng, the Zhou family is having a reunion dinner. The older generation of the Zhou family is gone in the early years, and the current head of the Zhou family is Zhou Jianguo, and Uncle Zhou is the closest elder to Chen Mian's only remaining blood relationship in this world.
In the past ten years, thanks to the care of his uncle and aunt, although Chen Mian has no parents, he has nowhere to go on this day when everyone in the world is reunited.
"Xiao Mian, don't be in a daze, try the sour and hot lotus root ribbon made by your aunt, didn't you like it the most when you were a child?" Uncle Zhou said as he clipped Chen Mian with a chopstick lotus belt.
"This lotus root belt is still what Tongtong taught me to do, it's been ten years in a flash, and I'm almost twenty years old." Aunt Meng Yu said with emotion.
"Mom, your chicken wings today are not as delicious as last time, and they have not been removed from the fishy smell." Zhou Fei took a bite of a chicken wing.
"Yes, you're picky, it's not delicious, I watched you eat two or three chicken wings." Meng Yu said angrily.
Zhou Fei wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou Shi, "Okay, come, eat more vegetables, this is not fishy." ”
……
Looking at the lively and warm family at the dinner table, Chen Mian's thoughts gradually drifted away.
15 years ago, Chen Mian was 5 years old, his father Chen decided to go out on a mission and died, the news came, and his mother Zhou Tong recovered after being depressed in just a few days. Outsiders thought it was because his mother didn't love his father very much, but only Chen Mian knew that his mother loved his father miserably.
She decided to go with him when the news of Chen Jie's death came, but she thought of her young daughter. So she delayed the time to "reunite" with her father, and left her daughter with financial security for the rest of her life in just five years.
In the past five years, she left Chen Mian a deposit of 300 million, which was secretly stored in Ruixue Bank, the world's safest bank, of which 10 million was remitted to Chen Mian's private account every year from the age of 10 to 19 as an education fund for that year.
After Chen Mian's 20th birthday, the remaining $290 million will be remitted to her account in a lump sum, and she will decide how to use it. No one knows this money except her mother and her.
When Chen Mian was 10 years old, her mother disguised the company as if it was on the verge of bankruptcy, auctioned off all the property, and finally handed over the remaining 50 million yuan to her brother Zhou Jianguo, and entrusted him to take care of her daughter.
When her mother died, Chen Mian didn't cry, she knew that her mother finally went to reunite with her father as she wished, and she didn't have to be sad about it.
Perhaps because since the age of five, her mother has regarded Chen Mian as a little adult and asked her to be sensible and governor, Chen Mian is much smarter than children of the same age, with quick thinking and excellent memory.
At the age of five, he began to read the first grade in advance, skipped the sixth grade at the age of nine, and graduated from elementary school at the age of ten. Now she is in her fourth year of year in the computer science department of Modu University, and she is still more than three months away from turning 20 years old.
……
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Mian and the Zhou family watched TV together to keep the New Year. At half past eleven, Chen Mian's sleepiness hit, it seemed that every year on Chinese New Year's Eve was particularly difficult until twelve o'clock, rubbing his dry eyes to say goodbye to his uncle and aunt, ready to go upstairs to sleep first.
Chen Mian lives on the second floor with his brother Zhou Shi and sister Zhou Fei, and his uncle and aunt live on the third floor. Chen Mian's room was in the innermost one, and it was opposite Zhou Fei's room.
Pushing open the door of the room, the main color of the room is light cyan and white, clean and simple. The bedroom window was ajar, and the cold wind rolled up the beige curtains slightly, blowing towards Chen Mian, who had just entered the door, and swept away her sleepiness.
She approached the window and looked out the window in the distance, where a few clusters of fireworks began to bloom in the night sky before midnight. The winter wind was too cold, Chen Mian shivered and closed the window.
After taking a shower and lying on the soft big bed, Chen Mian breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly fell asleep with his eyes closed. Soon, the sound of fireworks outside the window sounded one after another, it was zero o'clock, Chen Mian opened his eyes, wanted to get up and watch the brilliant fireworks for a while, but he didn't expect that when he opened his eyes, his eyes turned gray.
This is a small room with a size of more than ten square meters, and the surrounding walls are not distinct, and it is a wall like gray mist, as if it will penetrate if it is molded. Chen Mian reached out and touched it, the cold and hard touch was not as easy to penetrate as it looked. The room was empty, with no visible light source, but it was clearly visible all around.
Chen Mian didn't think she was dreaming, because she could clearly see the lines of the skin on the back of her hands, the faintly exposed blood vessels, and her thinking was also clear and logical.
Looking at the words that suddenly floated in front of her, she confirmed this even more.
"Congratulations on being selected as the only World Network player in the primordial galactic universe Blue Star for a thousand years."
"The world network is the talent training base of the planetary planes of the Great World of the Flood and the place where civilizations meet, and new players will be randomly selected by the world consciousness in the primordial layer every thousand years according to the energy situation of each planet plane.
This small space is the player's personal transit space, which will be used as a transit point for players to enter the quest and trading area in the future. Players can spend up to 4 hours per day in their personal transit space. ”
After the brief introduction disappears, a panel of characters resembling an online game appears in front of you. In the top row are four sub-columns, which are People, Backpacks, Quests, and Friends.
Chen Mian touched the character bar with his consciousness, and a zoomed down image of Chen Mian appeared on the left side of the panel, showing Chen Mian in pajamas, with waist-length long hair, a delicate face, dark eyes, and a calm temperament, not amazing, but very attractive. On the right is the character information:

"Please take a code name as the name of the world in the future."
The code name is Claire, Chen Mian thought, this is the name she used when she first entered the dark web in high school, she has been in contact with computers since junior high school, and the rich and colorful information on the Internet has given her a channel to absorb other knowledge, slowly, she began to be interested in computers, and began to teach herself computer knowledge, and by the time she graduated from high school, she could already come and go freely on the intranet of the National Security Agency of the Eagle Country, and did not leave any traces.
"Please pick a profession."
Chen Mian touched the career option with her consciousness, and two options appeared, the mysterious side and the scientific side, Chen Mian chose the mysterious side without hesitation, she was more curious about the power of the legendary mysterious side. The next options that appear are, Warrior, Priest, Mage.
There are a few lines of simple class descriptions below the options: Warrior is biased towards the physics department and practices breathing; Priests are biased towards the auxiliary system and practice prayer; The mage is biased towards the spell system and cultivates meditation methods.
You can learn skills across classes, but there will be punishments, and you need a cultivation method corresponding to the profession, and you can cultivate mana to support the release of skills, for example, a warrior must first learn the mage meditation method in order to learn spell skills, but it is more difficult to learn meditation, and the effect of casting spells will also be greatly reduced. The various abilities and biases within each class are free for players to choose a combination freely.
Of the three options, the Mage is the brightest, the Priest is second, and the Warrior option is the bleakest. Obviously, Chen Mian's legal talent is the best, and it is most suitable for the mage profession, and it just so happens that she also likes the mage profession the most, and studying all kinds of spells is exactly what she wants, and soon she chose the mage profession.
"Please draw two talents (talents are targeted based on the player's outstanding characteristics)."
Consciousness taps, "Extraction ends, talents: transcendent memory, dual talents." ”
"Transcendent Memory: Something that is intentionally remembered is never forgotten. Dual Talents: You can choose two basic classes and enjoy dual class bonuses with no penalties. ”
Seeing the dual talent, Chen Mian returned to the career option again, and she could indeed choose again after the profession, and she quickly chose the priest, so that she could heal and increase herself in the future.
