"Welcome to the world of the Overlord of the People."
"Next, binding you to your personal territory and loading your regional attributes…"
Wang Jue heard a vague and illusory voice by his ear while he was groggy.
Light shone in from the gap at the top. The warmth told Wang Jue that he wasn't dreaming.
Opening his eyes, Wang Jue looked around curiously.
This was a small, dilapidated wooden hut with holes all over the roof.
A slight frown appeared on Wang Jue's handsome face, and his gaze turned from one of initial confusion to seriousness.
Presently, he was standing in a small and simple wooden hut. There was a wooden bed at the side and a round table in the center. On the table was a wooden short stick.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
This is not a place I am familiar with.
If I remember correctly, I was resting at home today. Why have I woken up in this strange place?
The door is tightly shut, and there is nothing symbolic in the surroundings.
Who could have brought me here unnoticed?
Just as Wang Jue was about to go out and figure things out, a light screen suddenly appeared in front of him.
[Name: Wang Jue]
[Age: 20]
[Race: Human]
[Strength: 3]
[Stamina: 2]
[Intelligence: 5]
[Spirit: 2]
[Territory: Initial Territory (Unnamed)]
[Tap here to check the detailed attributes]
[This is your initial territory. Try to modify and expand it. It might become a castle.]
Wang Jue was stunned when he saw the contents on the screen.
This sense of reality. This certainly isn't a dream!
"Overlord of the People. It's a regulated world similar to games."
Wang Jue muttered to himself.
He had already realized that he had been transmigrated. Combined with the voice he had heard at the beginning, the transmigration might not be for him alone.
"Let's find out what's going on first."
Wang Jue focused his attention and the translucent interface appeared before his eyes again.
[Territory], [Backpack], [Channels], [Trade], [Manufacture]…
Wang Jue looked into his backpack.
The light screen switched. There were 20 slots inside, but they were empty.
Then, he opened [Territory].
[Territory: The uncultivated little garden]
[Current expansion range allowed: Area with 500 meters radius. Expansion can be done with a tap.]
Wang Jue thought for a moment and didn't immediately tap on expansion. In this unfamiliar environment, no one knew if the expansion would bring resources or danger!
He hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he decided to find out first before doing anything.
Then, he tapped open the [Manufacture] interface.
Swoosh!
[Ordinary Iron Sword: Wood 0/2, Iron Blocks 0/2]
[Elementary Straw Shed: Wood 0/10, Hay 0/6]
[Simple Stove: Rocks 0/10, Iron Ores 0/3]
[Elementary Blacksmith Shop: Rocks 0/40, Iron Ores 0/10, Wood 0/20]
[Elementary Lookout Tower: Wood 0/30, Iron Ores 0/10]
…
Wang Jue looked through everything. Every item or equipment required different materials to produce.
Obviously, resources were especially important in a game of survival.
Then…
Wang Jue checked the [Trade] tab.
The [Trade] platform offered the function to exchange items for items. At the same time, auctioning can also be done for any item.
The transaction amount would be set by the owner.
Then, Wang Jue locked his gaze on [Channel].
The page changed.
At once, several options appeared in front of Wang Jue.
[World Channel], [Regional Channel], [Friends Channel], [Territory Channel]
There was actually a chatting function too.
He entered the World Channel first.
"Wang Jun 186.54: Can someone tell me what's going on? I was in the middle of a meeting and I suddenly passed out. Why am I in an unfamiliar room now?"
"Lyu Gang 256.95: Were we kidnapped by anti-social organizations?"
"Xie Yin 296.1: I just went out to look for food and was attacked by a group of orcs. All my farmers are injured. Fortunately, the small courtyard is safe, they don't dare to come in."
"Xie Yin 296.1: But these orcs have been babbling while staring at me from outside. I don't dare to go out, but I don't have much food left. Can anyone save me?"
"Ren Hang 564.52: Is this the end of the world? Can we still go back?"
…
Lines of chats rolled past, Wang Jue analyzed and picked out some important information from the messy chats.
An unknown danger was present outside!
The entire world was probably now a whole new system. He had to accept this and adapt to it as soon as possible!
Wang Jue looked away and closed the World Channel.
He entered the Regional Channel for a look.
It was similar to the world channel, but was even more like a chat room.
The members and display photos were shown on the right.
The nicknames were all real names.
There were 1000 members.
"Is anyone near me? I kept shouting earlier. Please reply if you hear me."
"I've never lived independently before. Now, you're asking me to survive on my own territory. Sob…"
"It's all mountains around me. I vaguely heard the faint roar of a wild animal just now, and now I'm carefully gathering supplies…"
Wang Jue observed silently for a minute before closing the chat.
The majority were out of their wits, while a few had already started exploring.
Overall, this was an extremely game-like reality.
Just as Wang Jue was about to go out and survey the area.
The wooden door was pushed open.
Three emaciated figures ran in one after another.
Their faces were dirty and they looked extremely disheveled. They were wearing tattered clothes and straw sandals. They looked like refugees who had escaped.
The moment the trio saw Wang Jue, they knelt in front of him and said with snot and tears,
"Overlord, you're finally here!"
"Boohoo, we haven't eaten for a few days."
"My Overlord, you have great vision. One look and I can tell you are a man with thought."
The three of them took turns to speak.
Wang Jue was still a little confused. Just as he was about to ask for their identities, the light screen appeared again.
Different words appeared above their heads.
[Name: Datou ]
[Class: Farmer LV1]
[Loyalty: 100%]
[You can gain EXP[1.Experience points] through learning and use them to level up.]
…
[Name: Ertou]
[Class: Farmer LV1]
[Loyalty: 100%]
[You can gain EXP through learning and use them to level up.]
…
[Name: Santou]
[Class: Farmer LV1]
[Loyalty: 100%]
[You can gain EXP through learning and use them to level up.]
Their names and information hung high above their heads.
Wang Jue looked at the three farmers who looked like refugees in front of him and felt rather helpless.
A wooden hut, a short stick, and three silly farmers were the beginning of this survival game.
I seem to be in a terrible situation.
While thinking, Wang Jue couldn't help but focus his attention on the three farmers.
[The three farmers who are devoted to you can do some simple labor. Their aptitude can be improved through gradual learning. They will be your best help!]
At this moment.
A line of small golden words appeared in front of Wang Jue.
They were…
