Chapter 1 Begins
The bright sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches, leaving patches of light. A flying bird appeared from the woods and soon disappeared into the dense leaves.
The road is lined with tall and dense vegetation. In addition to the chirping of insects and birds, you can occasionally hear rustling sounds coming from the bushes. In such a sparsely populated place, the slightest sound will be amplified, making one's heart beat faster.
Looking along this road, a building stands out from the trees. Looking closely, it is a three-story inn.
The inn itself is not a rare building, but such an exquisitely designed inn should be located in the most prosperous area of the city, rather than in a deserted wilderness.
At the door of the inn stood a young man in crescent-colored clothes, with dark patterns sewn with silver thread on the lapels and cuffs. His black hair was casually tied with a white hairband. He looked up at the nameless plaque, his affectionate peach blossom eyes were exposed, and the red teardrop mole under his left eye made it difficult to take your eyes off his face.
He just waved his sleeves, and the plaque of the inn began to vibrate. After a moment, the outline of words gradually appeared on the plaque that was originally blank.
Spring returns to the guest inn.
Just a few more words and the inn seemed to come alive, like an antique that had been sleeping for a thousand years, the dust washed away to reveal its original brilliance.
There seemed to be a sigh in the air, but the only person around was the immortal-like young man, whose brows were slightly frowned, making people want to smooth out the worry between his brows.
"well....."
Although coming back from the dead is indeed something to be happy about, when Shen Yuqing noticed that there was a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Yuqing was very familiar with this body. The red mole below the left eye was painted by him himself after spending a lot of money.
The story begins with a certain ancient martial arts holographic game. Due to the rich plot and the high degree of freedom that players have in manipulating their characters, this game has become popular among the public as soon as it was launched. Shen Yuqing is also one of the hundreds of millions of players.
Like most games, after entering the game, the player must first choose a career. Whether it is sweeping the world with a sword or carrying a medical box and a flask to save the world, they are both good choices. The choice of career will improve the player's talent in the chosen career, and after the player enters the game and meets certain conditions, he can also choose two other different careers in addition to his own career. At the same time, players can also improve the talents of different careers through other means. However, for ordinary players, it is already very difficult to improve a career talent to become famous all over the world. Except for some players who don’t pay much attention to martial arts and god-level players, few people will choose to focus on careers other than their own.
After checking all the career attributes, Shen Yuqing, who has a hidden collecting habit, chose a less popular career - Ranger.
The Ranger class, except for charm, has achieved a weird balance in almost all attributes and talents. It is also called the low-profile hexagonal warrior by players. The Ranger can learn the skills of all professions, but due to its low talent, it is normal for it to be broad but not specialized. In the early stage of the game, the Ranger is quite popular, but in the middle and late stages, the Ranger is a little overwhelmed. In addition, after choosing a certain profession, the player can continue to choose other professions. In comparison, the special nature of the Ranger profession does not seem to have much appeal to players.
But in Shen Yuqing's opinion, the ranger is a perfect choice for him. As early as when the game was promoted, he noticed the various costumes in the game. Some of the costumes cannot be worn by different professions due to career restrictions. In addition to this part, some of the same costumes will look different on characters of different professions, such as a set of costumes called Rain Ink Mirror Flower launched in the game not long ago. The overall clothing is in three colors: white, ink and blue, giving people a feeling of being in a landscape painting. When the swordsman wears this set of costumes, along with the swing of the long sword, the sleeves rise up in the wind. When the swordsman wears this set of costumes, the skin will be revealed at the collar. It is precisely because of these different details that the game has greatly enhanced the player's experience and realism.
Since the ranger can learn the skills of other professions, when wearing clothes, the ranger can also choose the effects of different professions. This is why Shen Yuqing, who has the collecting attribute, chose the ranger.
After choosing a career, it was time for the face-shaping stage that many players were looking forward to. Shen Yuqing chose to create a character based on his own data for convenience, but after entering the game, he found that he was a bit careless. The players around him had different styles, and the normal Shen Yuqing looked abnormal. So Shen Yuqing started his own krypton gold road. He spent 99 to buy a novice face-shaping gift pack and put a red tear mole on this face that was exactly the same as his own.
However, not all problems can be solved by spending money. Sufficient hard work and luck are also essential. In order to get a set of clothes called "Thousand Gold Haoke", Shen Yuqing spent a whole month in an inn. Finally, when the inn waiter accidentally spilled tea on him, the mysterious owner of the inn showed up. In order to express his apology, the other party not only waived Shen Yuqing's room fee for the past few days, but also gave him a set of clean clothes, which was called "Thousand Gold Haoke".
But when Shen Yuqing took the fashion, he smelled a burning smell, and the helmet connected to the game seemed to have a problem. His body was almost instantly paralyzed by the electric current, and he couldn't muster any strength in his whole body. Only the little remaining consciousness could barely control the game character. At the last moment before he was about to fall into a coma, Shen Yuqing controlled the game character to put the fashion into his backpack, and then fainted with peace of mind.
After waking up from the darkness, Shen Yuqing found himself standing on flat ground. He did not feel any discomfort. The chirping of insects and birds around him made Shen Yuqing a little dazed. He lowered his head slightly to look at his ancient costume, then looked at the familiar inn in front of him. All kinds of thoughts surged in his mind.
The appearance of the inn in front of him was the same as the inn in the game, but Shen Yuqing was sure that this was definitely not the inn in the game. Before he could think about it carefully, the game panel appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Shen Yuqing's gaze stayed on the red teardrop mole on the personal information picture on the game panel for a moment, and then he looked away casually.

Shen Yuqing looked at the series of question marks under his personal information. After a moment's silence, he opened his backpack and saw neatly arranged clothes. After seeing the wealthy customer, he felt much more relaxed. He had worked hard for a whole month. If he had not successfully put the wealthy customer into his backpack, he might as well die.
In addition to fashion, the backpack also contained some other miscellaneous items, about 100,000 taels of silver. In order to win over a wealthy customer, Shen Yuqing spent a thousand taels of silver at the inn. In comparison, 100,000 taels of silver was not much. Unfortunately, he came to this strange place before he had time to spend money to replenish his assets.
Thinking of this, he fixed his gaze on one of the compartments of the backpack, and soon a white pearl with a diameter of about 15 mm appeared out of thin air in his hand. Shen Yuqing played with it carefully for a while and put the pearl back into the backpack.
After a small test, Shen Yuqing found that he could access and store items in the backpack at will, and the game panel could be hidden or opened according to his ideas. In addition, the most eye-catching thing on the game panel was the task bar on the far left.
【Task 1: Please name the inn】
Shen Yuqing's expression didn't change at all. He chose to open the game store and once again ignored the most conspicuous task. For some reason, he always felt that the game panel seemed to flash just now.
There were a wide variety of items in the store, but Shen Yuqing's eyes were quickly attracted by the original price/80% off marked below the products. The original price was shining brightly, while the 80% off was dull. He clicked on the exclamation mark in the lower right corner of the product, and a long paragraph of text suddenly popped up.
[Cafeteria chefs, pig farmers, farming descendants, bookstore owners, innkeepers, zoo directors, mental hospital directors, etc. all enjoy a 20% discount]
In addition to the 20% discount, Shen Yuqing also discovered that the store’s clothing category included fashions exclusively for innkeepers.
Shen Yuqing smiled shyly. He was reserved for a second. The next moment he clicked directly on the task bar and typed in the name of the inn with a wave of his hand.
Spring returns to the guest inn.
The phrase "Spring Returns" means the arrival of spring, the revival of all things after winter, symbolizing a new life. The word "Spring Returns" also represents that Shen Yuqing is about to start a new life.
At the same time, 20% off is no longer dull, which also means that Shen Yuqing can buy everything in the store at 20% off.
[Complete mission 1, reward: small medical kit]
The mission rewards were directly stored in the game backpack, but Shen Yuqing did not have time to check the rewards carefully. The strange emotions in his mind made him take a deep breath.
After naming the inn, Shen Yuqing felt that the inn in front of him seemed to come alive. His brain was constantly transmitting a feeling of joy, which was the emotion fed back to him by the inn. He and the inn were in tune with each other. In other words, the inn was completely under his control.
Shen Yuqing's eyes were filled with tenderness. He didn't have to do anything, the door of the inn was already opened for him. The green brick path was directly connected to the lobby of the inn. Every tile and brick of the inn seemed to be looking forward to Shen Yuqing's arrival.
At this moment, Shen Yuqing did not hesitate and stepped directly onto the blue brick path leading to the guest lobby.
