Qi Yuan felt rather helpless.
The game had not even started, yet the character had already died.
"This Innate Seed really won't do. Its gaming skills are terrible—probably only Bronze rank?"
Qi Yuan sighed with feeling.
The rewards from the previous game had sounded incredibly grand.
And this was all there was?
He might as well do it himself.
He casually glanced at the game icon. It had already loaded about two-thirds of the way.
"At this time flow, by the time I get in, I'm afraid even my bones will have turned to dust."
Qi Yuan sighed. He gave it no further thought, merely sitting on the stone bench and waiting quietly.
Maple Forest Town was a small mortal town. Maple trees grew abundantly here, their leaves red as fire, so whenever the season came around, many children from wealthy families would visit the town to enjoy the scenery.
At that moment, atop a carriage, Chen Xiyu lifted the curtain, curiosity written across her face.
"A strange man in red robes appeared in Northern Wilderness Forest, playing chess in the mountains?"
"Yes, Miss. Some passing woodcutters saw him, but his clothing was too strange, so no one dared approach him," the maid replied.
Chen Xiyu's eyes lit up. "Xiao Xi, do you think that man... might be one of the immortals from the legends?"
Throughout the mortal world, within a radius of a thousand miles, legends of immortals had always circulated.
But Chen Xiyu had never seen one herself.
Since childhood, she had loved tales of strange occurrences and the supernatural, and she was particularly fascinated by such things.
"No, Miss! What if he's a villain?
There have been many skinning incidents in town lately. Miss, you'd better not casually go into the deep mountains and old forests!"
