"Axing, my brother is dead!"

"It is said that he was beaten to death by several workers at the construction site because of overdue payment for the project!"

Hong Kong, inside an office building.

Cao Xing heard someone calling his name and glanced at the other person. It was a young man wearing a suit and having a slicked-back hair.

Then Cao Xing lowered his head again.

He was playing a survival adventure game on his tablet computer called "Ice Age". The game had a realistic style and was considered a hardcore survival game.

The player will appear next to a campfire at the beginning of the game. Due to the extremely low temperatures in this world, they can only move safely within the coverage of the campfire.

If you leave the fire for a long time, the game character will be frozen to death.

Players need to build shelters and unlock various basic buildings.

These buildings can also be upgraded by collecting various materials. For example, a campfire can be upgraded to a large campfire, a furnace, and in the later stages it can even be upgraded to an energy tower.

In addition, players can also unlock different schools by developing military strength or developing technology in the territory...

According to the official statement, a team mode will be launched later.

However, because the game is still in the internal testing stage, Cao Xing has not seen anyone around him playing this game, and he can't even find it online.

Just then, a prompt appeared on the tablet screen.

[This game will start public beta in two hours and will soon enter maintenance status. ]

[More content is being released, stay tuned...]

Is the public beta finally going to start?

Cao Xing's heart moved. At this time, the young man with a slicked-back hair sat down next to him naturally.

Wu Jiahui put his arm around Cao Xing's shoulders and said, "Ah Xing, at least you have followed Big Brother for a while, and he is still your boss."

"He's dead, aren't you sad?"

Cao Xing put down the tablet, glanced at him and said, "Come on, after he founded Yongsheng Group to clean up his mess, he cut off all ties with us."

"After so many years, I've only been his personal driver. I don't have any feelings for him."

"Besides, he was a black-hearted person to begin with, so it was only natural for him to be beaten to death."

"That's true." Wu Jiahui nodded.

At this time, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, "What a pity, big brother has been pursuing Liu Muxue for so many years, and finally got her and was ready to get married, but this happened."

"Speaking of which, Liu Muxue is really a rare beauty!"

"That figure, and those long legs, wow, it really makes anyone confused when they see it."

"What a pity, big brother is not lucky enough to enjoy it..."

Cao Xing didn't respond to the conversation because his cell phone was vibrating.

After seeing the message, Cao Xing sat up from the sofa, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Axing, where are you going?"

Cao Xing spread his hands and said, "I'm a driver, where can I go? Of course I'm going to pick someone up."

…

Cao Xing came to the underground garage of Yongsheng Group and skillfully found a dark brown Maybach among a pile of luxury cars.

After opening the car door, the interior is extremely luxurious.

The value of this car, including the interior, is at least over seven million.

Of course, this car is definitely not his.

Cao Xing is alone and helpless. In a city like Hong Kong, it is difficult for him to just survive.

Not to mention, having the money to buy such a luxury car.

Half an hour later, the Maybach stopped in front of a five-star hotel in the city.

Cao Xing took out his cell phone and sent a message.

"Sister-in-law, I'm already downstairs."

A message came back from the other side.

"Um."

A few minutes later, a tall woman in a black dress walked out of the hotel door.

Her manners were dignified, and her tight dress outlined the perfect curves of her body. When her long legs moved, they were like a pair of exquisite jade objects.

This woman is Liu Muxue.

Cao Xing did not get out of the car, so the woman naturally sat in the back seat of the Maybach.

"Axing, go to the funeral home."

Cao Xing nodded and the car started.

On the way, Liu Muxue received a phone call. Her eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if she had encountered some troubles.

"I said, I agreed to marry Yongsheng Group because of your request. Now Chen Jiang is dead, and I have nothing to do with him."

"Don't even think about using me as a bargaining chip for profit anymore!"

She seemed very angry, but because she was well educated, she quickly calmed down her anger.

"Axing, I'm sorry." Liu Muxue said softly.

Cao Xing shook his head.

He knew Liu Muxue's character. She was not the kind of person who would scold the people below her just because of her status.

On the contrary, she has always had a good attitude towards her subordinates and has received good reviews from the outside world.

Since Liu Muxue quickly became famous, the media has also made detailed reports on her family and personal experiences.

Her original family was not wealthy.

But because of her outstanding appearance and figure, she quickly became popular after she became an adult.

Naturally, it has attracted the attention of many people with ulterior motives.

Chen Jiang, chairman of Yongsheng Group and Cao Xing's elder brother, is one of them.

…

…

Soon, the car arrived at the funeral home.

Before getting off the car, Liu Muxue tried hard to make a sad expression.

She knew that no matter how much she hated the man in her heart, she still had to pretend to do it.

Cao Xing was still sitting in the car waiting.

An hour later, Liu Muxue returned to the car.

It can be seen that she seemed to have been crying, her makeup was a little smudged, and had a faint smoky feeling.

The temperament is elegant, exuding a sense of decadence, and has a unique beauty.

Liu Muxue returned to the car, her face calmed down again, and then she said, "Axing, take me back to the hotel."

"good."

Cao Xing nodded.

Just as he was about to start the car, his vision suddenly went dark.

Then, everyone heard a mechanical synthesized sound in their ears.

"The new version of Ice Age has been updated and the public beta has officially begun. In one minute, all humans on Blue Planet will be able to play the game."

"Game Instructions: This is a world without sunlight. The area is vast and boundless, but it is always covered by severe cold. Your task is to try to survive in this world."

"After the game starts, you will appear next to a bonfire. This is the fire of your survival. Remember! Do not leave the range of the fire easily!"

"Your goal is to collect more supplies, expand your territory, and develop more units."

"The new version is a family survival mode, with families as the unit, with a maximum of 4 people in a group."

"If there are no relatives, they will be randomly grouped with people around them."

"Well, I wish you all to live hard in this new world..."

…

When Cao Xing regained his vision, he suddenly found himself in a snowy land.

The view before my eyes was vast and everything in the world was covered with ice and snow.

"Fuck, where's my Maybach?"

Before he could finish his words, a bone-chilling chill came over him.

Cao Xing felt as if he was about to be frozen to the spot in an instant.

"hiss!"

Cao Xing took a deep breath, and subconsciously moved closer to the burning campfire in front of him, only then did he feel a hint of warmth.

At this time, a character panel appeared in front of him.

[Name: Cao Xing]

[Race: Blue Star Human Race]

[Level: Level 1 0/100]

[Occupation: None]

[Health value: 100. ]

[Strength: 4, Agility: 3, Spirit: 5, Constitution 5]

[Lord interface: not enabled]

[Current state: cold]

[Current temperature: -31℃]

"Oh my god... this system panel is exactly the same as the one I use on my tablet!"

Then, the second system prompt appears.

"Please all survivors choose your own career system as soon as possible."

"It is currently divided into five major systems: Frost Iron Mechanic, Polar Warrior, Frost Mage, Aurora Knight, and Snow Hunter."

A look of joy flashed in Cao Xing's eyes.

You can choose your career!

Obviously, these professions are the same as those he has played before.

Of course, Cao Xing knew that these five professions had no combat effectiveness in the early stages.

For example, the Frost Iron Mechanic's skill in the early stage is to summon a small self-destructing robot, the power of which is not even as powerful as the firecrackers we used to blow up toilets when we were children.

The polar warrior will just use a simple slashing move.

The Frost Mage is better, as he has an initial Ice Ball spell.

As for Aurora Knight and Snow Hunter, they are Purification and Hunter Perception respectively.

To truly possess extraordinary powers, one needs to acquire more skills through continuous development.

Cao Xing pondered, "When I played this game before, I experienced all five professions."

"The strongest one is naturally the mechanic, but this is a late-stage profession and consumes too many materials."

"In the early stages, both the Arctic Warrior and the Snow Hunter are very strong, but they become very weak in the later stages."

At this time, a look of realization appeared on Cao Xing's face.

"I see. This game introduces the so-called family survival mode so that we survivors can reasonably allocate occupations, safely survive the early, middle and late stages, and then survive better."

However, Cao Xing glanced to his side.

Besides myself, there is only one Liu Muxue here.

Although I don't know why I was assigned to the same group with her, now is not the time to think about it.

At this moment, she was looking at the campfire with a blank face, as if trying to digest the information prompted by the system.

Cao Xing understood, "It seems that it is impossible to realize the four-player cooperation model."

So...what career should I choose?

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing directly chose "Frost Mage".

The system prompt appears.

"Congratulations! You have successfully selected the profession: Frost Mage. Elemental affinity has been unlocked, cold resistance has been slightly improved, and the initial equipment has been placed in the storage box."

Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to look for the initial storage box, the second system prompt appeared solemnly!

[It was detected that the fate of the survivor 'Cao Xing' is compatible with this world. Personal talent: Eternal Power has been activated. ]

[Eternal Power (Hidden Unique Talent)]: Enables all friendly units in the territory to gain permanent amplification when they are in a temporary amplification state.

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed: "Oh my god! There's a cheat!"
