In her past life as someone well-versed in various fantastical web novels, she did not simply laugh it off or consider it an illusion upon hearing this electronic sound.

Instead, she quickly made her way to a nearby observation deck with an open view.

From here, she could see tourists climbing the mountain path below.

However, at this moment, the meteor shower in the sky was even more eye-catching.

Within a few breaths, the meteors were almost within reach, with two of them flying directly towards her.

Mu Ying moved her backpack to her chest, reached into the bag, grasped the handle of a knife, and cautiously stepped back.

The two meteors closest to her—one seemed to be homing in on her automatically, while the other continued towards the center of the observation deck.

After landing, Mu Ying realized that they seemed to be just orbs of light, floating about a meter in the air, and the one flying towards her grew bigger and bigger, eventually the size of a person.

A figure with a tilted head was faintly visible within the orb of light.

Turning her head to look at the one on the observation deck, it was still the size of a palm, seemingly containing a square object inside.

The one on the observation deck appeared more like an inanimate object.

Mu Ying picked up a wooden stick and poked the orb of light.

The moment the wooden stick touched the object inside, the orb of light disappeared, and a square wooden sign fell to the ground with a clatter.

Mu Ying picked it up and saw: “× Lord Token.”

The script was not Chinese but the Universal Language, which Shi Yin had taught her earlier.

She could speak it, but she hardly recognized the characters, only making out these last two.

She could discern nothing else.

At this moment, a nauseating stench reached her, and Mu Ying turned around with a frown.

The odor was coming from that humanoid orb of light.

According to the previous announcement about distributing player qualifications and survival resources, the survival resources should refer to the Lord Token, and the player qualification couldn’t possibly refer to this foul-smelling zombie, right?

Yes, zombie—it was definitely one, judging by the foul smell and the rotting flesh, a spitting image directly copied from the Resident Evil movies of her former world.

The zombie writhed within the orb of light, which seemed to restrain it, but the light was rapidly fading, and it wouldn’t be long before it would break free.

Mu Ying scanned the distant mountain path where every climber had a conspicuous humanoid orb of light next to them, like specks of gold in a swarm of ants.

Deciding no longer to hesitate, Mu Ying took a deep breath, held her breath, circled behind the zombie, drew her kitchen knife, aimed for the zombie’s neck, and chopped down forcefully.

As the knife struck the zombie’s neck, the orb of light completely lost its effect.

Luckily, the zombie’s neck was unexpectedly brittle, or perhaps Mu Ying had used too much force, as she managed to chop off half of it in one swing.

The zombie’s head now tilted even more severely, only a small finger-length layer still attached, but the electronic voice that followed informed her the zombie had been eliminated.

A thin leather-bound book appeared in front of her.

Luckily, there were no other meteors landing nearby on the mountain path currently, and there was no immediate danger; Mu Ying curiously opened the Player Manual.

Beyond the cover, the manual consisted of only five thin pages, each edged with five protruding tabbed labels, which read: adventure record, Character Attributes, Magic List, Item Identification, World Forum.

The inside of each page was interactive.

Rather than a book, it was more like a system panel containing five interfaces, albeit in the form of a book.

She recognized the text—it was Universal Language, but she hadn’t learned many of the terms, it was as though she had suddenly achieved Level 8 in Universal Language.

Only the first page “adventure record” was accessible, recording all the electronic sounds she had heard previously, along with some other information.
