Chapter 1116: Game Start

Sun Mo waited for another ten seconds, but there was no response.

“System, have you gone dumb?” Sun Mo cursed, “By showing such an attitude, I’m even more certain that you have this language in your storage. Quickly sell it to me!”

Sun Mo discovered that because of some limitations, the system couldn’t lie to its host. So, every time it didn’t want to answer a question, it would remain silent.

“Don’t play dead or I’ll just muddle through things in the future. In any case, my current fame and achievements are enough to last for decades.”

Sun Mo threatened.

“Can’t you be more mature?”

The system was helpless. “Simply play this game! It can even train your analytical and deduction abilities!”

“I have many chances to temper myself in the future. Why should I risk it on an unfamiliar thing?”

Sun Mo answered back sarcastically.

However, he relaxed a little in his heart. (Seems like there is an 80% chance that the system knows what this thing is. If there’s mortal danger, it will surely warn me.)

“My host is clearly very strong, yet he is overly cautious. Mn, it’s confirmed. He is a coward!”

The system ridiculed Sun Mo.

“Alright, stop talking nonsense. How much does this language cost?”

Sun Mo asked.

“1 million favorable impression points!”

The system reported.

“So expensive?”

Sun Mo felt a headache. His fame was very great and every time he lectured, he would gain over 10,000 favorable impression points. But even so, such numbers still caused him to feel an intense heartache.

“I’ve not finished speaking, You have to pay two great teacher emblems along with the points too!”

“Si!”

Sun Mo suddenly wanted to tell the system to scram. The great teacher emblem was much more precious compared to favorable impression points. Besides, this was the first time he needed to use them as currency.

“Are you purchasing or not? If not, I’m going back to sleep.”

The system was very impatient.

Sun Mo was still hesitating because he didn’t know if the ‘experience’ he gained from this game could mitigate its price or not.

If he wanted to buy the language just to play this game, he truly couldn’t bear to spend so much.

Sun Mo had wanted to probe the system more, but he suddenly realized something. Although the system always sounded like a swindler and sold him stuff at a very high price, everything he bought was worth their value.

“I should stop being conflicted. Maybe I can put the language to use in other places.”

Sun Mo made his decision.

“I’m buying it!”

Ding!

“Transaction successful. Congratulations on obtaining the bibi language. Proficiency: Elementary level!”

After the system mentioned the two words before ‘language’, it emitted beeping sounds to hide the real name.

“Huh? What language?”

Sun Mo was astonished. Why did the words sound as though they had been censored with a beep?

(Is there a need to be so secretive? The more you don’t want me to know, the more I want to know.)

“Use a 50-year time emblem and improve its proficiency level!”

Sun Mo instructed.

In an instant, the proficiency level of this language rose to a good level, not reaching the expert level.

This caused Sun Mo to furrow his brows because it indicated that this language was very difficult to learn.

“Forget it, let me play one round first to check the situation!”

Sun Mo felt heartache since he had to use more time emblems.

He shifted his gaze back onto the scene. After glancing around, he discovered that there were no abnormalities. He then started to check out the characters.

The guy was 18 years old and looked like a fit young farmer. The girl was 16 and was dressed in plain cotton clothing. She had a wooden hairpin.

“That’s all? There are no other choices?”

Sun Mo asked. There were no solutions as he didn’t find any instructions at the scene. He could only ask verbally.

There was no reply.

Sun Mo had a self-mocking smile. He felt that he was silly. This was a darkness relic from an unknown number of years ago. How would it understand the current Nine Provinces Language?

(Wait a minute!)

Sun Mo silently cursed himself for being stupid. He should use the language he had just learned. Hence, he asked the question again in the new language.

This time around, that female voice rang out and said some things.

After translating it, it meant that there were still choices such as official, envoy, bandit, emperor, prisoner, merchant, etc. There were a total of 28 occupations one could choose from.

Naturally, a job like an emperor was considered a hidden occupation.

One had to clear the game and unlock the additional mode first before they could choose it.

Sun Mo indicated that he understood. After that, he got this guide for newbies to explain in detail about this game.

Five minutes later.

“So, this is a life-simulation game.”

Sun Mo completely understood this. “Grant me the setting of being the second generation of a family of officials!”

The scene transformed. He was no longer in a thatched cottage but a large manor surrounded by red walls and green roof tiles. Amidst the many maids here, more and more characters appeared.

There were officials, children of officials, and even manservants!

Sun Mo wasn’t polite and directly chose to be the child of an official. He was preparing to experience a life of bullying guys and girls, enjoying the power granted by the background.

“Please select your features and set your age.”

The guide reminded him.

“Same as my original appearance!”

Sun Mo was too lazy to ‘craft’ a new face.

Very soon, Sun Mo saw the ‘common’ face become handsome.

“Character creation completed. Do you want to start the game?”

Sun Mo confirmed his choice.

After that, his vision turned dark. When he could finally see again, he discovered that he had appeared inside a huge courtyard.

“Right now, you are the only son of a seventh-grade county magistrate. You are 22 years old and have no achievements. Moreover, your identity as a distinguished talent was something you obtained through your father’s connections.

“Your father has instructed everyone. If you cannot pass the triennial imperial exam this year, you will be expelled from the clan.”

The guide introduced the background.

“Huh? It’s so people-oriented?”

Sun Mo was speechless. (It’s just a game, and I still need to take exams? I thought I would be able to live idly, bully guys, and lord over girls? However, this game is so realistic.)

Sun Mo glanced around. It felt like his body had entered the game!

Pak!

Sun Mo slapped his thigh. It was very painful.

“Young master, it’s time to dine!”

The maid reported.

“Mn!”

Sun Mo took the chance to grope the maid. (Ze, her skin is so soft.)

“Young masterrrr!”

The maid pouted.

“Are there any forbidden things I cannot do in the game?”

Sun Mo was curious.

“This is a free-for-all-ages game. Some actions that are too over-the-top would be punished.”

The guide reminded him.

“Will anything happen if I don’t do the missions you give?”

Sun Mo asked.

“This is an open-world game that allows you to experience a different life. You can choose not to follow the game route. But by doing so, you might cause the game to end at any time. Also, the results will not be recorded, so you won’t have any rewards.”

“There are rewards too?” Sun Mo’s eyes brightened. “What are they?”

“All sorts of knowledge!”

The guide’s words involuntarily caused Sun Mo to shout out.

(That’s impressive then! Being able to obtain knowledge from gaming? Why do we still need to study?)

“In that case, can I begin now?”

Sun Mo was preparing to first go for a walk on the streets.

“Any time!”

The guide reminded him. “But once you walk out of this courtyard, the newbie protection will vanish. The guide will not provide you with any other explanations.”

“Understood.”

Sun Mo walked out of the door.

“Young master, it’s time for your meal!”

The maid chased after him with an anxious expression.

“I’m not eating.”

Sun Mo started running to test his body constitution. There was no spirit qi, and he felt like a weak chicken. If he encountered a stronger ordinary female, he might not be able to suppress her.

After half a day, Sun Mo simply decided to take a stroll around the streets.

The characters might be vivid and lifelike, and they would say many things when he asked them a question, but their answers simply felt too rigid. Also, they would repeat some answers. From this, Sun Mo knew they were NPCs with just a single glance.

(No, I have to find something fun to do!)
