Xi Zheng opened his eyes. The world was blurry for a second as his eyes adjusted to the unfamiliar brightness. A wooden ceiling entered his line of sight. There was something familiar, yet simultaneously alien about that ceiling. Xi Zheng remembered it somehow, but from where he didn't know.
He attempted to move forward but he felt something restraining the movement of his arms, legs, head and torso. As he regained the sense of touch, he felt that multiple wires were halting him from movement.
He also felt the cold bed sheet underneath him.
"Ah, you're awake. So what would you like to start as?"
As an unknown voice sounded out, Xi Zheng's sight was filled with something new.

Xi Zheng was back in the room, facing the familiar ceiling. This was the starting cabin of the game, in the middle of Ju Xia City in the Southern Continent. The entirety of Ju Xia is around 3x the size of Earth and the Southern Continent is around 70x the size of Ju Xia. The entire <

Physique and Potential were all that mattered at the moment to Xi Zheng. Without a good physique, he would get beaten by stronger enemies.
As for Potential, this grade goes from A grade(highest) to F grade(lowest). With D grade Potential, he would be unable to level up higher than level 50. In his previous playthrough, he was an A grade.
To improve his physique, he needed a gym membership, however, a gym membership required money.
This also applies to Potential. The only way to increase one's potential was from pills that cost extremely high amounts of money.
The fastest way to make money in this game is from dungeon instances, killing mythical beasts and selling their flesh and blood. The problem was players would be in these dungeon instances and there are no rules down there, so they would have no reason to not murder him, especially considering the XP gained from killing a player as opposed to killing an NPC. The safest option was to work at a shop. And if he remembered correctly, there was a huge weaponry shop in the west part of Ju Xia.

After seeing the title, he instantly closed it. He was in the west, so he only had to travel around 200 miles to get to the main city.
In the real world, 200 miles was quite a bit. But in <
It would take him around 3 hours to walk to the main city.
This is where the second journey of the Sword Saint begins.
