After Shi Feng closed his eyes, the system's mechanical notification sound rang by his ears .
Password confirmed . Mental link is stable . All systems operational . Do you wish to login?
Login .
Once Shi Feng silently agreed to the connection, darkness engulfed his surroundings, and he felt as if his body had fallen into a bottomless pit .
In the next moment, however, Shi Feng felt a weight on his body . The sound of galloping horses and carriages moving reached him . He also heard voices .
"This is… God's Domain?" Shi Feng was surprised when he opened his eyes .
Western-style buildings rose up around him . Traffic covered the surrounding streets, and he could see many pedestrians wandering about wearing armor and carrying weapons . It felt as if he was in God's Domain .
The only difference Shi Feng noticed was his current appearance . Rather than his usual armor, he wore commoner's linen clothing . He did not possess a single weapon . Physically, he appeared exactly as he did in reality .
His system interface was also different . Although the method to call up the interface was the same, he only had options to log out, adjust the pain settings, and a clock that displayed real time . There was nothing else . Neither his HP bar nor name was displayed .
Moreover, he felt very weak . In terms of the Basic Attributes of God's Domain, Shi Feng felt as if they were all set at roughly 100 points .
These were the only differences from God's Domain that he noticed .
"Look, another newbie has arrived . "
"There sure are a lot of newbies these past few days . "
"I heard that our Secret Pavilion has been implementing some major plan and has recently been annexing other Guilds . The upper echelons must've promised training slots to those Guilds in return . "
"Hah… What a waste . We fight tooth and nail every day just for one slot . Aside from eating and sleeping, we spend all of our time training . These people, on the other hand, obtain a slot without any effort . They sure have it good . "
"I know, right? The training system isn't easy to mingle in . These people are wasting their time and our resources by coming here . "
Several people sitting beneath a gazebo outside of a bar began chatted merrily as they watched Shi Feng . These people looked relatively young, only around 20 years old . However, they wore lavish clothing . Rather than linen, they donned exquisite silk clothing .
As if they wanted Shi Feng to hear their conversation, these people did not bother to control their voices as they considered . Their tones were contemptuous when they spoke of players from other Guilds such as Shi Feng .
I wonder where Fire Dance and the others are? I should find them before we start researching this simulation training system . Shi Feng paid no attention to these people's belittling comments . However, he did feel a headache begin when he noticed that the training system lacked a communication function .
Although this place seemed like a city in God's Domain, it was much smaller . This place was roughly the size of a town . Shi Feng also noticed a massive fortress looming in the city's heart . He could probably see the very edges of the city from the top of that fortress .
Just as Shi Feng was about to head to the fortress to investigate, a deep, heavy voice came from behind him .
"You have just arrived today, right?"
Shi Feng turned at this question, noticing three people, similarly dressed in linen clothing, approaching . The two men and one woman looked to be around 20 as well . Meanwhile, the person that had called out to him was a tall, powerful looking man . The man smiled and gave off a friendly aura .
"That's right . Do you have some business with me?" Shi Feng nodded .
"Hello; my name's Kong Haoran, and these two are my friends, Huo Zhengyang and Du Xin," the man named Kong Haoran introduced, smiling . "Like yourself, we belong to other Guilds and have recently arrived . We aren't like the people from the Secret Pavilion, who have been in here for over a month . As a newcomer, if you aren't careful, you might suffer . "
"Suffer?" Shi Feng grew curious . He then asked, "Isn't this place meant to gain combat experience and nurture techniques?"
"In the beginning, we thought the same," Kong Haoran said, shaking his head . "However, after being here for some time, you'll learn that things aren't as simple as the people from the Secret Pavilion made it out to be . You can't just spar with top-tier experts as you wish .
"The training system mimics God's Domain . The more powerful a simulation expert you choose to fight, the more energy the system consumes . The Secret Pavilion can only get its hands on a limited amount of High-level Energy . There is simply not enough to go around . Not to mention, the Secret Pavilion has expanded its influence recently and has increased the number of available training slots for its system, straining the system's energy consumption . Hence, the Pavilion introduced a Battle Point system to cope . With these Battle Points, one can choose their opponent . Of course, the more powerful an opponent is, the more Battle Points you have to spend .
"A lot of newcomers don't know about this yet, so the Secret Pavilion's veterans scam them . If one loses the starting Battle Points they receive, it becomes harder to earn Battle Points in the future . "
Hearing Kong Haoran's explanation, Shi Feng came to a realization .
It's no wonder why Yuan Tiexin was so willing to hand over those ten slots . So, the Pavilion still had such a card to play . Shi Feng inwardly cursed the Secret Pavilion's Guild Leader for being a sly, old fox .
However, after giving it some thought, Shi Feng realized that it was actually quite reasonable .
He had been a fool to think that he could fight monster-level experts stored in the system's database without limit and gain a wealth of combat experience . Such a generous opportunity wouldn't exist .
"Thank you for your warning," Shi Feng said as he looked towards Kong Haoran . He then introduced himself, "My name is Shi Feng . "
"No need for thanks . Those of us from other Guilds need to look out for each other . Otherwise, the Pavilion's people will just bully us all . " Kong Haoran waved his hand . "The Secret Pavilion's bunch came here over a month before we arrived . Moreover, they enjoyed the Secret Pavilion's nurturing before this . Their combat standards are much higher than ours .
"Newcomers are given 100 Battle Points initially . You can use these points to purchase a starter pack at the fortress . This starter pack lets you spar against ten different, extraordinary experts for three days . You can use them to familiarize yourself with the battles here . Otherwise, you can practice against the free opponents in the fortress . However, you probably won't learn anything from the freebies .
"There are two methods to obtain Battle Points . The first is to participate in the ranking matches; you can also place bets with other players before a duel . Some of the veterans trick many of the clueless newcomers . As a result, they lose their 100 starting points, just like that . "
After Kong Haoran finished explaining the simulation training system, he led Shi Feng to the Battle Fortress .
However, as Shi Feng's group was about to enter the fortress, they heard a loud commotion from the fortress's main hall .
"Quick, come and take a look! Another newbie is challenging a veteran!"
"Damn! These guys sure are quick! Why can't I ever find these newbies?!"
