First Arrival in Another World

It hurt, it hurt, it hurt!

Huang Long's head was filled with a pain like ten thousand ants gnawing at his heart, as though his skull were about to burst apart.

Heavens, what kind of suffering was this?

Scanning host's body...

Ownership binding complete. Host may awaken...

A gentle voice rang beside Huang Long's ear. As it fell silent, Huang Long opened his eyes.

An enormous, enormous green tree appeared before Huang Long, startling him badly.

There were actually two huge eyes on that massive trunk, along with a pointed nose and two thick lips. Any normal person who woke up to find such a gigantic thing staring at them would be scared unconscious.

"Damn! What the hell is that?" Huang Long sprang to his feet.

"This is the Tree of Life, Host!" A gentle voice sounded again, giving Huang Long another fright.

"Ghost!" Huang Long tried to flee this terrifying place, but a gentle force held his body in place, leaving him unable to move at all.

"Host, please listen to my explanation." A tiny, delicate figure darted out from Huang Long's chest.

"What are you?" Huang Long was startled. Although the thing looked adorable, it still could not suppress the fear in his heart.

"I am the Warcraft Elf System, and you are my host—my master. I will obey all of your commands. Now, I can answer any question you have." The Warcraft Elf System smiled sweetly.

"What kind of place is this?" After hearing the elf's words, Huang Long calmed down instead. He had already realized that he seemed to have transmigrated, and not merely somewhere else on Earth.

"This is Azure Star, on a small island at the easternmost edge of the Dahao Continent!" the elf answered truthfully.

No way, I really transmigrated! Huang Long smiled bitterly to himself. Damn it, I'd bought lottery tickets for so many years without winning even once, yet I somehow got picked for transmigration, whose odds were even lower than winning the lottery. If I could choose, the lottery would have been far more worthwhile.

Though Huang Long was unwilling, he still accepted the reality.

If I get the chance, I still need to find a way back. Though it seems very difficult. Huang Long muttered silently to himself. Then he looked at the elf again, his gaze becoming much gentler. It seemed that all his hope of returning lay with this elf.

Still, even if he could not return, Huang Long did not particularly mind. As long as he could live comfortably here, staying would not be so bad. Ever since leaving the orphanage, he had been making his way through life alone. Now, things were merely more dangerous than before. Besides, he had this thing before him that seemed like a cheat.

"So, what functions do you have?" After organizing his thoughts, Huang Long asked the most useful question. In truth, every expert gamer was far more intelligent than ordinary people, and as one of the best, Huang Long lived up to his reputation as a genius.

"This system contains the Night Elf faction from Warcraft. Based on money and resources, the host may construct various Night Elf buildings, units, and heroes. Furthermore, every time the host levels up, you may randomly obtain one item and one skill not belonging to your faction, provided you meet the requirements," the elf continued.

"Then what should I do? What am I supposed to do?" Huang Long had completely entered the zone, as focused as he had been when playing Warcraft on Earth.

"The system's purpose is entirely determined by the host. The system imposes no requirements."

At the same time, a virtual screen appeared before Huang Long, displaying two options—

Conquer the World

Live Free Beyond the World

"I know what Conquer the World and Live Free Beyond the World mean, but what's the difference between these two options? Or what benefits are there after choosing one?" Huang Long stared intently at the elf, as though trying to spot some flaw.

"Once the host chooses Conquer the World, the protective barrier will activate. The host will receive three skills and two items. However, upon encountering local inhabitants outside the barrier, you must wage war against them. Furthermore, within ten years, you must occupy sixty percent of the continent's land. Otherwise, the base will collapse and cannot be repaired, and the host will lose all abilities granted by the base."

"If you choose Live Free Beyond the World, the protective barrier will remain active permanently. Resources and neutral creatures within the barrier will enter an endless cycle, ensuring the host's absolute safety. However, your strength can only rise to level five. After the modification, you will not receive the three skills and two items, and the required occupied territory will increase from sixty percent to seventy percent. Your level can still rise."

"I see. If that's the case, the system is clearly tempting the host to activate Conquer the World mode. As one's strength grows, so does one's desire for the outside world. With such great rewards and such harsh penalties, unless someone truly does not want to leave or has no ambition at all, very few people could resist such temptation. However, with my current abilities, going out to fight the humans of this other world clearly won't be easy. Fortunately, I'm on an island right now, so the danger has been reduced by who knows how many times. So I choose... I choose—Conquer the World!" Determination appeared on Huang Long's face. "Since this system contains my favorite Night Elf faction from Warcraft, then I'll make the Night Elves trample the entire continent beneath my feet and leave it trembling!"

Host has chosen—Conquer the World. Selection complete. The protective barrier will close in three days. The host will now randomly obtain three skills and two items. Host attribute panel activated. Host building panel activated. Host hero panel activated!

Randomly drawing skills. Please pay attention!

"Skills are rolling. Please say stop!"

"Stop!" Huang Long said calmly.

Retrieving information... Saving information... Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the skill—Summon Wild Boar.

Summon Gray Bear: Summons a gray bear to attack enemies.

"Skills are rolling. Please say stop!"

"Stop!"

In the end, Huang Long obtained three skills and two pieces of equipment.
