"Ah Xing, my brother is dead!"

"It is said that he was beaten to death by several workers at the construction site because of the delay in paying the construction fee!"

In an office building in Hong Kong.

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

Then Cao Xing lowered his head again.

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

The player will appear next to a campfire at the beginning. Due to the extremely cold weather in this world, it is safe to move around only within the coverage of the campfire.

If you leave the fire for a long time, the 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 within the territory...

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

However, because the game is still in the closed beta stage, Cao Xing didn't see anyone around him playing the game, and he couldn't even find it online.

At this moment, a prompt appeared on the tablet screen.

[This game will be launched in two hours for public testing and will soon enter maintenance mode. ]

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

Is the public beta finally coming?

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

Wu Jiahui grabbed 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 all these years, I've only been his exclusive 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, my elder brother has been pursuing Liu Muxue for so many years, and finally got her. We were ready to get married, but this happened."

"Come to think of it, Liu Muxue is truly a rare beauty!"

"That figure and those long legs, wow, it really makes anyone who sees it confused."

"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.

"Ah Xing, where are you going?"

Cao Xing spread his hands, "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 survive.

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

Half an hour later, Maybach stopped at the door 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 movements were dignified, and the tight dress outlined the perfect curves of her body. When she moved, her long legs looked like a pair of exquisite jade articles.

This woman is Liu Muxue.

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

"Axing, let's 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 wrinkled, as if she had encountered some troubles.

"I told you that I agreed to marry Yongsheng Group because of you. Chen Jiang is dead now. I have nothing to do with him."

"Don't even think of 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 rely on her status to scold the people below her.

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 reported in detail on her family and personal experiences.

Her original family was not wealthy.

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

Naturally, it has attracted a lot of attention from 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 be like that.

Cao Xing still sat in the car waiting.

An hour later, Liu Muxue returned to the car.

It was obvious that she had been crying, her makeup was a little smudged and had a faint smoky feel.

It has a light and elegant temperament, exuding a sense of decadence, and has a unique beauty.

Liu Muxue returned to the car, her expression calmed down again, and then she said, "Ah Xing, 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.

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

"Game Instructions: This is a world without sunlight. It is vast and boundless, but is always shrouded in severe cold. Your mission is to try your best to survive in this world."

"When the game starts, you will appear next to a bonfire. This is the fire of your survival. Remember! Don't 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 the family as the unit, with a maximum of 4 people in a group."

"If you don't have any relatives, you will be randomly grouped with people around you."

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

…

When Cao Xing regained his vision, he suddenly found himself in a world of ice and snow.

There was nothing in sight, and everything in the world was covered with ice and snow.

"Fuck, where's my Maybach?"

Before he finished speaking, a bone-chilling chill came over him.

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

"hiss!"

Cao Xing took a deep breath and subconsciously moved closer to the burning bonfire 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 open]

[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, a second system prompt appears.

"All survivors are requested to choose their own career system as soon as possible."

"Currently, there are five major systems: Iron Mechanic, Arctic Warrior, Frost Mage, Aurora Rider, 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 little combat effectiveness in the early stages.

For example, the Frost Iron Mechanic's skill in the early stages is to summon a small self-destruct robot, which is even less powerful than the firecrackers we used to blow up toilets when we were kids.

The polar warrior, on the other hand, would just use a simple slashing move.

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

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

To truly possess extraordinary powers, you need 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 job and consumes too many materials."

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

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

"So that's why the game introduces the so-called family survival mode so that we survivors can reasonably allocate our careers, safely get through the beginning, middle and end stages, and then survive better."

However, Cao Xing glanced at his side.

Besides myself, there is only 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 mode."

So...what career should I choose?

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

A system prompt appears.

"Congratulations! You have successfully chosen the profession: Frost Mage. Elemental affinity has been unlocked and the initial equipment has been placed in the storage box."

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

[It has been 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 temporarily amplified.

Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Oh my god! This is amazing!"
