Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Chapter 2: Chapter 2: Entering the Game

The rooms in Qingshui District, though old and compact, had everything one might need.

From the bathroom to the small living room and even the tiny kitchen, everything was there, albeit a bit worn-out. Plus, Fang Yu wasn’t much for cleaning, so the room looked all messy.

He put the groceries he’d just bought into the small fridge, reserving some for tonight’s dinner prep.

Pan-fried pomfret, stir-fried pork with green peppers, and then scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Tonight’s dinner was exceptionally hearty.

He devoured everything like a whirlwind, and Fang Yu let out a satisfied burp.

It was all for tonight’s game.

Fang Yu glanced at a corner of the room.

Boxes of instant noodles in flavors like braised beef, spicy beef, and seafood shrimp were piled up—his strategic food reserves.

He also had a stash of canned food for emergencies, truly prepared so he wouldn’t need to step outside.

After such shopping, his bank balance had finally dropped from five to four digits.

That’s why he could forgive the man in the suit who took his spot so quickly.

No helping it, he was just too poor. Getting a game helmet worth ten thousand for free was like a pie falling from the sky!

Fang Yu hugged the game helmet to his bed, rubbed his hands, and unwrapped the package, revealing a game helmet with an assembly line board design.

The most important thing was, it actually had noble RGB lights!

The sense of technology, the atmosphere, all maxed out in an instant!

All right, the design has won my approval! It indeed looks like it’s worth ten thousand!

He checked the time on his phone; there were ten minutes left before the game servers opened.

He scrolled through the game forum, where nearly everyone was discussing this newly launched game. The forum was bustling, with a new post every second, yet no one had any clue about the specific content or style of the game.

All that was clear was that the game was produced by the noble Blue Sea Group, and anything from Blue Sea Group was sure to be premium.

The previous game that had united the gaming world and caused a ’one super, many strong’ situation, hailed by players as a descent of light, was also by Blue Sea Group.

And now this ”Seeking Demon” was their company’s second game, with top-notch secrecy.

Everyone was filled with anticipation, Fang Yu included.

”Last time, when I was a professional gold farmer, I lost money because I picked the wrong game, not because I had a problem!”

”This time, ninety-nine percent of gamers worldwide are in this game. As long as there isn’t a disaster, I’m betting it all on this! Not even Jesus can stop me!”

He glanced at the time again; it was already 8:59 PM.

The servers were about to open!

Fang Yu quickly put on the game helmet.

[Verifying identity...]

[Confirming information...]

[The game is about to start...]

...

[Welcome to the Seeking Demon Game.]

[Any player entering the game will automatically be matched with a corresponding body and identity in the Seeking Demon Continent.]

[Now, the system will match you with a suitable character.]

[Matching...]

[Match successful.]

[Character introduction will now begin.]

[Your name is Diao Deyi, from Tianyuan Town, orphaned at a young age, 16 years old, with three family members, an older brother, and a second sister; you are the youngest.]

[The older brother works as an assistant in a tea house, barely making enough to support the family, and is the primary source of household income.]

[The second sister works short-term at a cloth workshop, with limited income.]

[Five days ago, the older brother went missing. Several people from the Black Tiger Gang broke into the house, slamming down a huge gambling debt note signed by the brother.]

[Either your second sister is taken to Yanliu Lane to be sold, or you are dragged to work as an enforcer in the casino to pay off the debt with labor.]

[Without a choice, to prevent your sister from being sold, you are forced into committing evil.]

[Today is your first mission...]

[Character introduction complete.]

[A friendly reminder: From this moment on, you are Diao Deyi. Please play your role well, don’t reveal any flaws, and never tell anyone your real information, or you’ll bear the consequences.]

Huh?

No character customization???

Bad review!

Fang Yu was depressed. So this is a role-playing game, huh? They just select a lucky audience member from the game to become a character for the player.

Looking at the character description, this one comes from a poor background, often hungry, with probably a poor physique.

...I want to restart.

Not sure how restarting works in this game. What if I have to wait an hour or even a day after deleting my character before I can create a new one? That would put my progress way behind.

Right, can’t die, a poor start doesn’t matter much, I guess everyone’s probably on a similar level, there won’t be much of a gap so early in the game.

Just as I was thinking, I heard the system’s prompt sound again.

[Ding!]

[Player has been detected as a lucky helmet serial number, a gift package reward is about to be sent.]

In the pitch-dark space, suddenly a spinning wheel appeared.

Fang Yu was startled.

Holy shit!

My gaming helmet comes with a lucky gift package?

I hit the jackpot!

Fang Yu immediately thought of the man in the suit, realizing that when they switched, he ended up with a gaming helmet equipped with a lucky gift package.

Hehehe! Starting with a royal flush, how can I lose this round!

Quickly glanced at the items on the spinning wheel...

[Token of Lord You Li], [Heavenly Yin Fire], [Sword Dao Enlightenment], [Blood of Stinging Scorpion]...

All sorts of strange items were on the wheel.

Fang Yu lightly tapped it.

The wheel spun and quickly came to a stop under anxious anticipation.

[System Prompt: Congratulations to Diao Deyi for obtaining the human-level skill [Digital Life].]

[Digital Life: You can see health bars, damage numbers, and obtain a digitized body.]

What?

That’s it?

Fang Yu was dumbstruck.

Isn’t this a basic feature in other games? Counting seeing a health bar as a skill??

While he was feeling down, he gradually began to hear voices.

Fang Yu was invigorated, his attention shifted; it seemed that the game was officially starting.

”He’s still not awake?”

”Poor kid, can’t handle it. Faints at the sight of blood, how’s he supposed to hang with us?”

”Yeah, better to bring his sister over, let the brothers have some fun for a few days, isn’t that more worthwhile than dragging along a dead weight?”

”Tiger Bro said to give the young man a chance, now it’s his own fault for not seizing it. When we report back, can his sister even escape?”

”Hahaha! Wang Er, you get it!”

Fang Yu struggled to open his eyes, and this time he finally saw the scene.

What met his gaze were four burly men bursting with laughter, dressed in ancient clothes, with arms thicker than his legs.

Importantly, the four of them had health bars above their heads.

[Wang Er:10/12.]

[Zhao Tian:12/15.]

[You Huo:7/10.]

[You Mu:6/9.]

That’s it?

That’s really it?

They are so weak!

Just a bunch of insignificant weaklings with 10-odd health points, but the models are muscular. Seriously.

Just as Fang Yu was silently reflecting, he looked up.

[Diao Deyi:7/7.]

Fang Yu: ...

Fang Yu: ???

When I’m the one throwing out question marks, I sure hope it’s the system that’s got a problem, and not me!
