When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment.

Enveloped by a black mist, a bonfire not far away emitted a warm glow.

Yun Xi looked around. As expected, she had been randomly 'born' in a newbie village.

She saw a few simple wooden houses scattered around the bonfire.

This beginner's village wasn't even worthy of the name 'village'; it was pitifully small.

Glancing at her attire, she was clad in rough linen clothes, with ten copper coins in her pocket as a starter bonus, and an identity badge.

Yun Xi took out the identity badge and examined it carefully. The front was engraved with a complex circular symbol, and the back displayed her ID information.

"Who are you?" Suddenly, a cautious question came from behind her.

Yun Xi wasn't alarmed. Newbies had a three-day protection period, during which no one, human or ghost, could harm her.

Turning around, she saw a middle-aged man holding a torch. He was dressed in black rough cloth, had a scruffy beard, and sharp eyes.

The moment the middle-aged man saw Yun Xi's face, the wariness in his eyes lessened slightly, as if he had already recognized her identity.

"Are you a newly born adventurer? Please show me your identification."

Yun Xi handed him her identity badge.

The middle-aged man took it, and his expression visibly softened.

Yun Xi sighed in relief. Finally, she wasn't starting as a refugee.

The middle-aged man settled Yun Xi into a small wooden hut.

"It's a bit late now. This small hut is for you temporarily. Get some rest, and we can discuss anything tomorrow morning."

Yun Xi understood. No one knew better than her how dangerous the Godfall Continent was at night.

Thinking that the middle-aged man still needed to keep watch, she didn't say anything further.

The middle-aged man closed the hut door. Yun Xi locked it, then turned to look at her resting place for the night.

There was a wooden plank bed, a small wooden cabinet, and a simple set of table and chairs.

The wooden plank bed had no bedding, only a layer of dry straw.

Yun Xi didn't complain. In this world of extreme material scarcity, being assigned a place to stay at the start was already quite good.

As far as she knew, this allocated residence was only free for three days.

She sat down on the edge of the bed and silently invoked the system.

[Godfall System has been activated]

[Personal Interface] [Mall Interface] [Chat Interface] [Quest Interface]

Yun Xi clicked on the Personal Interface, which was divided into three main panels.

[Basic Panel]

[Name: Yun Xi]

[System ID: ******826927]

[Race: Human]

[Age: 20]

[Level: 0]

[Health (60/60)][Max limit determined by Constitution]

[Mana (0/290)][Max limit determined by Spirit]

[Profession Panel]

[Main Profession: None]

[Sub-Profession: None]

[Free Skill Points: 0]

[Attribute Panel]

[Spirit: 29]

[Constitution: 6]

[Luck: 92][Max 100][Cannot be freely allocated]

[Charm: 96][Max 100][Cannot be freely allocated]

[Free Attribute Points: 0]

Yun Xi was slightly surprised. Her Spirit attribute was actually 29 points?

She remembered that her initial Spirit in her previous life was 9 points, but in this life, it was 29. Considering that 'Spirit' was her soul, this must be due to her rebirth. Since her soul remained unchanged, her Spirit attribute would naturally return as well.

But her Spirit before rebirth was 59 points. This was... a reduction of almost half?

As expected, the Rebirth Divine Stone had its side effects. Each time she was reborn and resurrected, her soul would pay a price for it.

With that thought, Yun Xi silently cast aside any ideas of 'courting death' by rapidly increasing her strength. It was better to use the Rebirth Divine Stone sparingly.

Yun Xi didn't dwell on it further. She closed the attribute panel and opened the next interface.

The shop interface was divided into [System Shop], [Local Shop], and [Recharge Service].

The System Shop generally only sold basic daily necessities, with an extremely low chance of appearing good items.

A quick glance revealed things like coarse wheat cakes, black bread, edible lumps...

Yun Xi's head swam. In her past life, she ate these foods most of the time. They weren't just difficult to swallow; chewing them was incredibly hard.

As the name suggested, the [Local Shop] was a shop for the local area, usually opened by local merchants selling a series of survival supplies.

However, this village was too small, so small that they hadn't even bothered to open a local shop. No items were listed for sale within it.

Finally, Yun Xi tried clicking on [Recharge Service].

As expected, it was the same as in her past life. During the closed beta, everyone's daily recharge limit was 648 yuan.

One yuan equaled one Copper Coin, meaning she could at most get 648 Copper Coins.

Recalling Gu Shian's frantic actions of selling off his assets, she strongly suspected that his cheat might not have a recharge limit.

Given that Gu Shian had assets worth about ten billion, even if he recharged all of it... Ten billion Copper Coins would equal one hundred million Silver Coins, which would be one million Gold Coins.

The value of Gold Coins was equivalent to White Crystals, meaning... one million White Crystals equaled ten thousand Green Crystals, which equaled one hundred Blue Crystals, and then one Purple Crystal...

Uh, Gu Shian's ten billion assets seemed to only be enough to exchange for one percent of a Red Crystal?

At the same time, Yun Xi's massive mountain of Red Crystals flashed through her mind, and she felt a surge of secret delight. Was this the joy of being wealthy? Hahaha.

Of course, while Gu Shian's ten billion Copper Coins weren't much to Yun Xi, it was important to remember that others could only recharge 648 yuan daily. With only ten days of closed beta, they could only recharge a maximum of 6480 yuan.

Even on the Godfall Continent, ten billion Copper Coins was still a considerable fortune.

As startup capital, it was more than enough for Gu Shian to spend.

With that thought, Yun Xi didn't delay and clicked to recharge for the day. 648 yuan was deducted from her bank card, and in its place, 648 Copper Coins suddenly appeared before her.

[Ding, detected that the player's Copper Coins exceed one hundred. Would you like to deposit them into your System Account?]

[Note: Depositing into the System Account incurs a one percent fee. Withdrawal is free.]

[Deposit.]

The stingy game system didn't even provide a storage bag, and it charged a fee just to deposit money.

But the benefits were also obvious. Money deposited into the system was safe from being lost or stolen.

The most crucial point was that only currency deposited into the System Account could be used to purchase items in the System Shop.

648 Copper Coins, plus the ten initial Copper Coins gifted by the system, totaled 658 Copper Coins. The remaining 651.42 Copper Coins appeared in her System Account, prominently displayed at the top of the entire shop interface.

After completing all this, Yun Xi briefly browsed the System Shop again, ensuring no rare items had been refreshed, before opening the next interface.
