"What do these statistics do?" He pondered and pondered, but unfortunately, without a guide or someone to teach him, he knew nothing. "From what the creators of this game say, there will be no guides or manuals, leaving us, the players, to learn about this game for ourselves ..."

"There should be a leveling system in this type of game, but where is the experience bar? What level? It feels more like reality than playing a game." Yuan opened and clenched his hands.

Bang out!

Suddenly, he punched a tree nearby.

"ah! So sick! Did the pain from this game send pain signals to my brain, making her believe that I actually hit a real tree? It was. It was scary no matter how I thought about it."

What if he was stabbed by a sword? What's it feel like? He doesn't want to think about it.

"Umm. excuse me, brother over there..." A sweet voice suddenly echoed behind Yuan, making him turn his head.

"Huh?"

Standing right behind her was a cute, red-robed little girl who looked to be around 10 years old, hugging a red ball in one hand and a book in the other.

'How could he be so close behind me without making a single sound? I didn't even notice his presence! And what is a young girl doing here in the middle of nowhere? Maybe there's a town nearby?' Yuan became curious.

"Are you an NPC or a Player?" He asked her, who tilted her head to the side with a puzzled expression.

"NPCS? The player? Xiao Hua is Xiao Hua" the little girl replied.

"So your name is Xiao Hua, yes. My name is Yuan."

"How did Brother Yuan get in here?" He suddenly asked her with a curious look, almost like this was the first time he had seen anyone else in his life.

"Come in here? We're outside, right?"

He shook his head and said, "We're inside my family's garden."

"Huh? The park?" Yuan looked dumbfounded at the answer. "This forest is your garden...?"

He's nodding.

If this place that looks like a forest is his family's garden, then how big is the house itself? He couldn't imagine it. Although it sounded unbelievable, it also explained why a little girl like her would appear here.

"Sorry to interrupt, but I was teleported here by an old man against my will..." He tried to explain without sounding too crazy. "I'll be leaving soon, so can you tell me the way?"

But to his surprise, the little girl shook her head. "Brother Yuan, since you're already here, why don't you play with Xiao Hua?"

"You want me to play with you?" He did not expect such a request from her.

"Xiao Hua was always alone and boring to play with herself."

"What about your family?"

"They were always busy and could not play with Xiao Hua."

"Okay, this big brother is going to play with you!" He patted his chest with confidence. Due to her illness that left her unable to move a single limb, she did not have the free time to play with her younger sister when she was young, so he saw this as an opportunity to experience what it would be like if he didn't.

"really? You're going to play with Xiao Hua?" His eyes glittered like tiny stars in the sky, and his bright expression was adorable enough to soften the hearts of even the most ruthless killers out there.

"Un. What do you want to play?"

"Then Xiao Hua will throw the ball at you, and you will throw it back, okay?" He put the book down and showed the ball to her.

"Let me keep my distance... Okay, I'm ready."

And without further ado, the two began to play ball toss, and soon after, the carefree laughter of a happy little girl would echo in the forest.

—

While Yuan spends his time entertaining a mysterious little girl, other Players will strengthen themselves or try to gain more information about this world. Everyone is rushing to surpass their friends and rivals in this newly released new game, especially those who want to become a professional and are required to be ahead of the rest.

The minutes quickly turned into hours, and while everyone was busy in their own way, Yuan continued to play with the little girl.

'The incredible stamina that this little girl has! We had been throwing this ball back and forth for hours, yet there was not a single drop of sweat on his face! Even his small body showed no signs of exhaustion!' Yuan smiled bitterly, his entire body drenched in sweat. How could he, a young man, become tired in front of a little girl who was half his age while playing ball throwing? Even though he hadn't moved a muscle for so many years in the real world, this was virtual reality; he shouldn't sweat, let alone feel tired!

"What's up, Brother Yuan? You don't look so good ... Are you sick?" Xiao Hua's words inflicted significant damage to his pride.

"No... I. just a little... tired..” he said in a tired voice.

Hearing his words, he no longer threw the ball at him. "Then, do you want to take a break before we continue?"

"You ... You still want to play?"

"Un!" he nodded excitedly, almost making her cry.

"Well, but let me rest for a while..."

He sat down on a nearby tree, and Xiao Hua followed him, sitting beside him.

"Where is Brother Yuan from?" she asked.

"I am from a faraway place called Earth."

"Earth?"

Looking at his glittering eyes, Yuan smiled. "Do you want to hear about my homeland? Although not much, I still have memories of the places I visited as a child."

"Yes! I want to hear a story about this Earth!"

"All right then…"

Yuan started telling Xiao Hua about the things he had done as a child, and he quickly became engrossed in the story.

After an hour of relentless storytelling, when he was out of breath and a story to tell it, Xiao Hua opened the book in his grasp and spoke, "Because Big Brother Yuan played with Xiao Hua and even told her the story, he said, Xiao Hua will also tell you a story," he said. "This is Xiao Hua's gratitude to you, Brother Yuan!"

Yuan did not refuse and humbly accepted his appreciation.

However, when he started reading the book in his hand, he was surprised to learn that he was unable to understand a single word that came out of his mouth. Sounds more like a song than a story!

But he didn't want to be rude to her, so he continued to listen. Immediately, unconsciously, he closed his eyes. After closing his eyes, he began to feel more relaxed and comfortable, almost like he was going through some kind of hypnosis.

The strange chant from Xiao Hua became less nonsense — he began to understand his words, and information he never knew was being put into his head. This continued for an entire hour before a sharp sound suddenly woke Yuan from his meditative state.

"The Secret Art of Heaven ...?"

Xiao Hua smiled gently after hearing Yuan's mutter.

And suddenly, above the sky to be witnessed by every player, a huge system notification appeared.

The announcement shocked every witness there, especially the Players above. The game had not even come out for a day, yet someone had managed to obtain a Divine rank Skill? Who was this 'Yuan' Player, and what did he do to obtain it?
