Login Before Others: Stone Age

Chapter 3



Helmet in Hand, Early Login

Time passed by quickly.

Saturday morning.

...

Su Ming was still sleeping.

A ringing sound was heard.

He picked up the phone in a daze. “Hello, your express delivery has arrived!”

His words immediately lifted Su Ming’s spirits.

He carefully took the hard-earned 30000 Yuan and went out.

Ten minutes later, Su Ming carried a large paper box and tiptoed back to his room, locking the door.

He opened the box and saw a familiar black helmet.

In his previous life, he had also used a helmet to connect to the game in the beginning. After he had some achievements in the game, he changed to a gaming pod.

“I’ve finally got it!”

Su Ming let out a long sigh of relief. His face was filled with excitement.

With this metal lump, coupled with the activation code, he could successfully complete the closed beta in two months!

Although he could not enter the game yet, he could still read some information about the game.

He put the helmet on and turned on the switch.

Su Ming’s vision instantly turned dark.

When his vision brightened again, an extremely familiar and nostalgic animation CG appeared.

The animation began from a bird’s eye view.

Looking down from the sky, it was a vast and boundless continent with hills and plains, continuous mountains, endless swamps…

The diversity of the terrain also resulted in different species.

He zoomed in.

In the mountains, a ferocious beast’s roar could be heard. The twin-horned flying dragon spread its wings and flew out, covering the sky.

On the plains, the half-orc commander held his battle axe high and led millions of soldiers to attack the undead. This was a battle for survival.

In the depths of the forest, there was a towering Tree of Life, and countless beautiful elves were paying their respects.

In a barren land in a remote area, a group of human clans was struggling to survive.

Countless scenes flashed before his eyes.

Finally, it turned into four big words.

[Origin of Humans: Horde!]

Even though Su Ming was already very familiar with the cinematics, when he watched it again, he still felt his blood boiling.

This was the most primitive and barbaric era. War, plunder, resources, and development were the eternal themes of the game.

“Player information detected, confirming…”

Suddenly, a cold, mechanical voice rang in Su Ming’s ears and broke his train of thought.

The scene in front of him also changed.

“What is this? The character creation page?”

Su Ming’s pupils shrank. He was slightly surprised.

He had not experienced the closed beta in his previous life, so he was not clear about some things.

Could it be that he could create a character before the closed beta even started?

Su Ming made a guess.

At this time, the voice sounded again.

“Identity confirmed, activation code verified!”

The next second.

“Please create your character!”

Su Ming looked at the character pane before him.

In-game nickname, birthplace selection, and face value adjustment.

There were only three options in total, and they were very simple.

He clicked on the game nickname column and typed, [Night Blade].

He still used the nickname from his previous life.

The second was the choice of the place of birth, which was very important.

At that moment, more than one hundred region names appeared before Su Ming’s eyes, and all of them could be used as a player’s birthplace.

Different places of birth determined the wealth and type of resources.

A high-quality place of birth would have rich resources, allowing a smooth-sailing journey in the early stages.

If they chose a bad birthplace, it would be very difficult to obtain resources. For example, if they were born in a desert, even finding a water source would be difficult. It was even more impossible for players to have the heart to develop their tribe.

In Su Ming’s previous playthrough, some players were stubborn and insisted on choosing areas that sounded cool to show off their uniqueness.

For example, the Endless Desert, the Abyssal Chasm, the Mountain Range of Death…

These players had either died in a very short time or were struggling as they continued playing longer and longer.

Therefore, the choice of place of birth had to be made very carefully and prudently.

Of course, if it was a new player who came into contact with the game, they would be confused when faced with hundreds of regions and would not know which to choose.

However, Su Ming would not run into these problems.

He already had a clear goal in his heart.

There was a unique top-notch resource hidden in that area.

As long as he could obtain it, his early development would be smooth.

“I choose Silver Wind River Valley!” Su Ming’s eyes were burning as he said.

After he finished speaking, he reached the last step of character creation, which was also the most important step.

Good looks!

Su Ming thought that he was very good-looking, but who would not want to be even more good-looking?

[Increase your appearance by 100%!]

Before he could finish his sentence, a noise notification of failure came.

“I’m sorry, the adjustment failed! (Click to see the specific reason).”

Su Ming was a little puzzled as he checked the reason.

“With your looks, you’ll reach the upper limit of the human race if you raise it by 10%.”

“I see!”

Once he knew the reason, Su Ming was at ease and did not intend to pursue the matter any further. “Then we’ll raise it by 10%!”

“Adjustment complete!”

“Your game character has been successfully created!”

“Loading game…”

A series of mechanical notifications rang out.

Wait a minute!

There seemed to be something wrong.

Loading the game…

Su Ming’s vision suddenly blurred.

The next second, his vision returned.

He focused his eyes and saw a vast plain.

There was also a large river flowing beside it.

He looked down and saw that his clothes had disappeared. In their place was a set of brownish-yellow garments made of animal skin.

[System notification: Congratulations player Night Blade for being the first to log in to the game. You have gained 1 Omni point.]

A system notification appeared. The conditions for the reward were insignificant.

It should be a symbolic reward for the first player to log in to the game.

This kind of reward had almost no effect on the later stages of the game.

However, Su Ming’s spirits were lifted.

The closed beta was two months away, so why was he in the game now?

Could there be a bug in the game?

‘That’s not right. When I first entered the game in my previous life, I also looked like this!’

‘Did I log in too early?’

Just as Su Ming was in deep thought, another notification appeared.

[System notification: Congratulations on receiving a closed beta player growth gift pack.]

[Notification: Closed beta players will receive a big growth gift bag for every 10 levels!]

Su Ming was shocked. He realized that the growth gift pack had already appeared in his bag.

He opened it, and three items appeared.

[Notification: You have received a life skill book *1, a simple tool table *1, gold coins *10.]

As he looked at the incredibly familiar items, Su Ming was finally certain of one thing.

He had logged into the game in advance!

Moreover, he had logged into the game two months earlier than the closed beta players!
