Newbie Gift Pack

You had to know that, at the peak of the Saint Realm in the Coiling Dragon World, one had already begun to step through the mysterious and powerful doorway to the Laws.

If this level were placed in Swallowed Star, a peak Saint Realm Dragonblood Warrior would have at least Star Level strength—and likely more.

After all, in Swallowed Star, only a tiny handful of Star Level fighters could cross the threshold of the Laws. They were already considered super-geniuses.

Although the elemental Laws Linley excelled at—Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire—were only lower Laws in the world of Swallowed Star,

Linley's special quality lay in his astonishing potential to fuse those Laws.

Once he completely fused all four lower Laws, their power would be just as terrifying.

All in all, fusing with the Linley Template had definitely improved his talent, and he would certainly progress faster in the early stages.

And now that he had awakened the Game Upgrade System as well, a blazing flame of hope suddenly ignited in Luo Feng's heart.

"It really is a game system. Could I gain experience from fighting monsters later, and get equipment, items, and techniques to drop...?"

Luo Feng wondered to himself.

And with the faint Azure Dragon Bloodline in his body, which nevertheless held limitless potential, perhaps he could even evolve into the legendary Divine Beast, the Azure Dragon.

It was the one and only true Divine Beast among the countless planes of the Coiling Dragon Universe. Its nobility and power made even the mighty Golden Horned Beast seem like a little brother by comparison.

Throughout the entire Swallowed World, only the mighty, naturally born Beast Gods could rival it.

In the Coiling Dragon Universe, a Subordinate Universe, the Laws of the World restricted noble bloodlines like the Azure Dragon to the Water Element.

But in Swallowed Star, besides its Water Element, a lower Law, the Azure Dragon would surely awaken the upper Law of Time as well.

After all, the Azure Dragon's Innate Divine Ability in the Coiling Dragon Universe already contained the Law of Time.

If he really managed to strengthen his Azure Dragon Bloodline in the future, then fusing the Law of Time with the Water Law and breaking through to become a Universe Master would be a piece of cake.

"With the Dragonblood Warrior bloodline strengthening my body in the early stages, my already powerful Spiritual Telekinetic talent, and this incredible Game Upgrade System, I'll definitely rise even faster in this life."

The more Luo Feng thought about it, the more excited he became. A fiery light flickered in his eyes.

[System Notification: Newbie gift pack issued. Please claim it.]

Just as Luo Feng was still brimming with ambition, the system's crisp voice rang out again.

"Hm? There's a newbie gift pack too? As expected of a game system. I wonder what it'll give me at the start."

Luo Feng's eyes lit up, and his curiosity was instantly kindled.

Although Luo Feng had been born in the 2030s and lived on Earth in the twenty-first century, he had spent most of his time studying and training, with little time to play games. Still, he wasn't unfamiliar with them.

Sensing the golden, glittering gift pack floating in his mind, Luo Feng was eager to open it, but worried that it would cause too much of a commotion. After all, he was still in class.

He didn't want to reveal his secret so easily.

[System Notification: Host's world detected as Swallowed Star. Issuing missions.]

[Main Mission (First Stage): Reach the Eternal True God level. Reward: Unknown.]

[Side Mission 1: Obtain the official Martial Artist title. Reward: 10 experience points.]

[Side Mission 2: Awaken Spiritual Telekinetic talent. Reward: One Earth Element Magic book.]

[Side Mission 3: Accept the Yunmo Star Inheritance. Reward: One Gold Law Fragment.]

[Side Mission 4: Eliminate the threat posed by Earth's monsters and restore humanity's beautiful home. Reward: 3 billion Ganwu Coins.]

Having already learned the entire plot of Swallowed Star, Luo Feng nearly drooled when he saw the mission rewards.

There was no need to mention the experience reward for the first mission. The fact that a senior trainee needed only 9 points to reach the maximum showed that experience was quite "valuable."

Ten experience points could instantly help an ordinary person break through to the Martial Artist level.

Experience was precious, and it was key to improving one's strength.

The Earth Magic book offered by the second mission was also a good thing. Since he had fused with the Linley Template, he could definitely learn Magic.

Although Swallowed Star wasn't a Magic Universe, the system had offered the reward, so he would certainly be able to learn it.

Having absorbed "Luo Feng's" memories, Luo Feng naturally knew that Earth Magic was extremely powerful.

Most spells could help in battle and kill enemies, while the Gravity Art could control them.

In the early stages, the Gravity Art could also be used to train as a fighter. Its effects were much like those of a Gravity Chamber in Swallowed Star.

More importantly, Magic was a simplified application of the Laws. By studying Magic, he could sense the Laws in the future.

The Earth Element in the Coiling Dragon World corresponded to the Earth Laws in Swallowed Star.

Once he crossed the threshold of the Earth Laws, both his defense and attack would reach a whole new level.

The reward for the third mission, a Gold Law Fragment, was even more direct.

If learning Earth Magic, the second reward, offered some chance of inferring and comprehending the Earth Laws, then studying the Gold Law Fragment would definitely let him cross the threshold of the Metal Laws.

If he obtained the Gold Law Fragment at Planetary Level, he probably wouldn't be able to cross that threshold at that level. But studying the fragment would be extremely helpful for comprehending a "domain."

The final reward was 3 billion Ganwu Coins. Although it couldn't compare with Earth Magic or the Gold Law Fragment, one Ganwu Coin was worth 1,000 Black Dragon Coins and one million Silverblue Coins.

Ganwu Coins had considerable purchasing power, making them a good source of start-up capital for his early days in the universe.

"The main mission is only the first stage, so there'll probably be a second stage.

"The side missions are pretty obvious too. They can all be completed on Earth.

"They'll probably issue the later side missions after I leave Earth and reach the universe."

As Luo Feng thought, he silently began planning out his future.

Ding, ding, ding...

Just as Luo Feng was still thinking about the system and its missions, the dismissal bell rang.

Its crisp chime pulled his thoughts back to reality.

At the lectern, the teacher, who had been speaking with great enthusiasm, quickly gathered his books without any delay. After saying goodbye to the students, he left the classroom.

School was out, and the whole campus immediately erupted into noise. Students poured out of the various classroom buildings in groups, chatting and laughing as they headed toward the school gates.

Luo Feng was no exception. He wanted to get home early and see what good things the newbie gift pack might contain.

He hurried out of the classroom and glanced up at the blazing sun.

It was around three in the afternoon, the hottest time of day.

The sky was a deep blue, like a vast piece of blue jade. The midsummer sun hung high in that enormous expanse, like a giant fireball.

The scorching sunlight beat down on the earth, as if it would melt everything in the world.

"Feng, wait up! Why are you running so fast?"

Luo Feng had just left the classroom and hadn't yet reached the playground when a boy in a blue short-sleeved shirt caught up from behind.

The boy's steps were light, and he wore a friendly smile. It was Luo Feng's best friend, Wei Wen.

"Wei Wen, let's go home together."

Seeing who it was, Luo Feng smiled slightly, and his anxious mood eased considerably.

The newbie gift pack was important, but no matter how important it was, it wasn't more important than his best friend, Wei Wen.

Besides, the gift pack wasn't going anywhere.

Luo Feng suddenly felt that everything that had happened earlier had affected his state of mind.

"Looks like I still need to work on keeping my composure."

Luo Feng thought to himself.

Then Luo Feng accompanied Wei Wen, and the two of them walked slowly toward the school gates together.
