[In the past, humans often had this thought. They wondered if one day, a volcano would suddenly erupt, a cold wave would suddenly sweep across, an earthquake would strike on a large scale, and a tsunami would swallow everything...]
[The world is progressing, and technology is developing. People have also changed their targets of suspicion.]
[They would wonder if meteorites would fall from the sky, if the sun would shift its orbit, if artificial intelligence would be out of control, and if alien civilization would suddenly descend...]
[People are always doubting, doubting the future of mankind, and doubting whether civilization can continue to exist safely and smoothly.]
[——And now, everything that is truly beyond people's imagination has appeared.]
[They became "players". ]
…
"——Welcome player BE3030 to the world game, the first world, the apocalyptic world! You can start using points to buy skills and props to arm yourself!"
"Please explore this world, communicate with key NPCs, and complete tasks!"
The cold system voice rang in Su Ming'an's ears, and he opened his eyes.
In the field of vision, there is a 500/500 green life bar and a 140/140 blue mana bar in the upper left corner. There is a bullet screen interface in the upper right corner, showing the heat. It is still blank, and all players are in the game.
He can open the backpack interface through his mind, and the grid inside is still empty.
"——Doctor, Doctor, are you awake?"
A girl in a white coat looked at him with a smile. Su Ming'an sat up and found that he was lying on the bed.
This is a laboratory. The display screen on the wall is broadcasting the news:
[The unknown disease that raged in Henggang City last year has not been effectively suppressed. According to observations, the elements in mushrooms can help people effectively prevent diseases. Major hospitals have begun to make vaccines...]
"Good morning, Doctor." The girl said, "Today is February 29th. The vaccine is still under development. You were exhausted from work last night. Take a rest."
After a pause, the girl said again.
"Four people died in the laboratory yesterday, one from pollution, one from illness, one from hanging, and one from madness."
"For the future of mankind, I hope we can survive. Doctor."
"As long as you are here, mankind will have a future."
There is a logo on the girl's chest, which reads [Henggang City Vaccine Research and Development Center·Doctor Assistant·Xiaohan].
Su Ming'an realized that he was possessed by a doctor in the research and development center. It seems that this copy is a possession system, and the player has an initial identity.
"Ding Dong!"
…
[Welcome all players to the first world!]
[World name: Henggang City·Zombie Apocalypse]
[Plot hint: "If I die, will anyone weep for me?"
"If I drink the blood of the plunderer, can I find peace in the afterlife?"
"If you replace me, can you bring blue sky and white clouds to the children?"
…
[Story background: Henggang City (all players enter the game for the first time, and automatically understand the local language during the game)]
[Basic tasks for all players: Survive, live to the fifteenth day]
[Perfect clearance requirements: Find zombie antibodies and deduce the secret of the outbreak of the apocalypse.]
[Key NPC in this world: Duoduo (daughter of Han Yanyan and Chen Limin)]
…
Su Ming'an thought it seems that what he has to do in this copy is to try to obtain "antibodies" and deduce the cause of the outbreak of the apocalypse. Where the "antibodies" are is a question...
"Doctor?" Seeing that Su Ming'an had not spoken, Xiaohan asked with some confusion.
"Ah, it's okay." Su Ming'an said.
Xiaohan is a native of the world and is not a player at first glance. He cannot be found out that he is not the doctor himself.
It seems that 20,000 players have become people of different identities when they enter this world. He possessed a doctor, which is a good identity, at least he did not become a rag picker.
"Doctor, I'll go up and check the progress of the vaccine first." Xiaohan smiled.
After she left, Su Ming'an immediately opened the personal information interface.
...

He heard the system voice:
[Achievement (Endless Distance): Above a billion creatures, it is your public speech. ]
[Achievement 40 points. ]
[Achievement (First person in the Novice Level): The strongest person among a billion creatures, please maintain your supreme fighting spirit. ]
[Achievement 40 points. ]
…
Su Ming'an glanced at his current points, 220 points. According to the average points of most people, which are between 30 and 70 points, he has already gained an advantage.
He suddenly found that his "Death Rewind" skill was not displayed on the data board.
…Unique skills?
He was more certain of his guess in his heart—maybe, this is a secret that only he knows, although he doesn't know where it comes from.
He called up the skill purchase column.
…
[The following will start the skill acquisition link. ]
[The player is detected to have a perfect clearance in SS mode, and the skill level is set to the highest level (the probability of obtaining advanced skills is greatly increased)
The cost of extracting a skill is 120 points. Do you want to choose? ]
"Yes."
…
[Obtain epic (red level) potential skill: clone (evolvable)]
[Clone lv1 (loss of mana 80): You create a clone at the cost of one-third of your own strength.
The clone has the same strength as the original body. If the clone dies, the strength of the original body will be restored.
The original body can take it back by contacting the clone, or choose to let the clone explode directly.
The strength of the clone is directly related to the original body's spiritual points. ]
[Note: The skill potential is from low to high, the potential level is: ordinary (white level), advanced (green level), rare (blue level), epic (red level), and rare (purple). ]
[Obtain new skills, combat power: 68+70]
…
There are 100 points left. If you draw the highest level skill again, it will not be enough.
Su Ming'an chose to extract skills at the next level, which required 80 points per extraction.
[Obtain rare (blue level) potential skill: Annihilation (evolvable)]
[Annihilation lv1 (consumes variable mana): Anything your finger reaches can be melted by annihilation energy, and the power depends on the mana invested. ]
[Obtain new skills, combat power: 138+40]
…
He used the remaining 20 points to add attribute points, each requiring 10 points.
He added 1 point to strength and 1 point to spirit. Now his attribute points are: [5 physical strength, 5 strength, 5 agility, 10 spirit].
After adding 1 point to strength, he clearly felt that the fist he swung was more powerful, and after adding 1 point to spirit, his vision became clearer.
… This is the feeling of becoming stronger.
If he gets more attribute points, his physical fitness will change qualitatively.
The store section has not been opened yet. Su Ming'an took a last look at the panel. His combat power is 188, and his level is still the initial "Level 1".
It should be the same as playing games. Killing monsters can level up, and leveling up will gain new "attribute points".
During these fifteen days, he may also receive some side quests and gain points - points can be exchanged for "attribute points" and "equipment" to enhance his four abilities of [physical strength], [strength], [agility], and [spirit].
"Ding Dong!"
[After the first world ends, the "Profession" module will be opened, and you can get your exclusive profession, such as Battle Mage, Shadow Priest, Dual Blade Warrior, Mechanical Sniper, Orc Transformer, Paladin, Necromancer, etc. ]
...
Su Ming'an realized that profession should be a very important branch point, and he had to consider his future development direction.
Should I be a warrior who cuts down everything, or a wizard who controls fire, earth, light, darkness, wind, thunder, and ice, or a mechanic who plays with guns and bombs, or a summoner who signs a contract with elves?
In short, I have to accept missions, kill zombies, and constantly make myself stronger, so as to reveal the secret of the outbreak of the end of this world and achieve a perfect clearance.
…
[Liu She: Hey? You look quite relaxed. ]
Suddenly, a bullet screen floated slowly from the top of the field of vision.
This is probably a dead player who has become a viewer whose points and strength have been cleared and accidentally clicked on his live broadcast room.
…Although this person died too early.
People who are eliminated and become spectators cannot adventure for the time being, unless they get a certain amount of points through activities such as watching live broadcasts, writing guides, and watering forums, they can start adventures again, and they have to wait until the next world begins.
The barrage must not leak useful information about the dungeon. There will be no such thing as visiting to report the dungeon plot. It can only serve to identify people.
The live broadcast interface is similar to that of ordinary live broadcast platforms. The more popular the broadcast, the more it is in the front.
This viewer should have died in the attack today. He clicked on a live broadcast room and came in. He didn't know that he actually clicked into the live broadcast room of the first player.
[I heard that the strongest player now, Edward of Gran, has 150 combat power. How much do you have? You don't have much popularity. Why don't you change the name of your live broadcast room? ] This viewer said: [The live broadcast room with high popularity will have a points reward in the end. ]
As an adventure player, Su Ming'an can't see other people's live broadcast rooms, but only his own live broadcast room.
At this time, he has not changed the name of the live broadcast room, which is just an ordinary [Su Ming'an's live broadcast room].
Su Ming'an thought it was interesting, it was very similar to his live broadcast when he was an up master: "How do you think it should be changed?"
That being said, he will not please these viewers in the future. When he was an up master, he only cared about playing his own games and ignored people, but many viewers just fell for it.
The audience said: ['Solo killing zombies'? Or a name like 'crushing the end of the world'?]
Su Ming'an thought about it and changed the name to [World Games, Online Vacation].
He tried it and found that he could limit the content that the audience watched. After all, you can't broadcast everything when you start a live broadcast. What if there is a cereal brother...
[You look quite leisurely, what is your novice-level rating?] The audience brother said: [When I return to adventure, you must take me with you - we kick the boss rabbit and punch the organizer!]
Adventure anchor players and audiences have a symbiotic relationship.
The audience provides suggestions for adventure players. The adventure players provide the audience with materials for writing guides.
While Su Ming'an was talking to this audience, the popularity of the live broadcast room gradually increased, reaching 30 or 40.
The barrage was very happy at this time as if they were also taking risks:
[I saw the goddess Iris of Yu Country in another live broadcast room. She is really beautiful... This is a big shot that could only be seen at the top stream gatherings before. ]
[His Royal Highness Edward of Gran is also a real royal prince...]
[Is Edward the No. 1 player who gave a speech at the opening ceremony? ]
[He said he was not, so who is the No. 1 player? ]
[Why do you stay in this small live broadcast room instead of watching those big shots? ]
[... I will stay for a while and leave immediately. ]
[I am here because the anchor looks like a student and I feel involved. ]
[Slipping away, I went to see Aini and the others. They were former Gran nobles. It would be a shame not to see them...]
[Anchor, anchor, you are so brave. Your novice level score is at least B! ]
"Novice level?" Su Ming'an said: "I am SS."
...
The barrage of comments certainly did not believe this:
[Haha, I believe it, we believe it! ]
[Then won't we be the old fans of the No. 1 player in the future? Haha, just kidding, I don't believe it. ]
...
Su Ming'an ignored these comments. He broadcast live to get points. He would not deliberately cater to anyone and was too lazy to reply.
Although he did not want to show off his No. 1 status, he would not deliberately hide it. In at most fifteen days, the ranking list will be opened, and his identity cannot be concealed.
By then... the eyes of the world will be focused on him.
[No. 1 player]... right?
Endless distance, endless people... the first of a billion people, the weight of a world...
A businessman as rich as a country, a politician with great power, a world-class star... and he is just a student.
He must not be able to hide his identity as the first. When that time comes...
What kind of fanaticism, criticism, admiration, and even... faith will he face?
He sat up from the bed and stepped out of the ice-white laboratory. There was a deep corridor outside.
Since the task is to find antibodies, there may be some in the laboratory.
He followed the rough wall and groped into a completely dark room. It was quiet inside, with only the "tick-tick" sound of the clock.
"Shua!" A strong wind blew in front of his eyes, and Su Ming'an raised his hand and pinched the arm of the attacker.
In the dark, the two sides could not see each other clearly. He raised his foot and hit his knee. His hand flashed by, and the other party cried out in pain because of his injured arm.
The knife light paused for a moment, and his knee hit the opponent's lower abdomen without any hindrance.
"——Bang!"
The opponent seemed to be thrown out by this blow and hit the ground heavily.
