Chapter 3 Beginner's Village 666
When Xie Feng was excited about the opening of Samsara Online, the voice of the little fairy woke him up:
"Player Shiva, you should hurry up and use your fixed attribute points"
When Xie Feng heard Jade's words he almost fell to the ground. He quickly opened the status window again and watched carefully:
Status window:
[ Player: Shiva
Battle zone: China
VIT: 7
STR: 4
AGI: 4
INT: 10
Luck: 0
Charm: 0 ]
"The luck attribute is naturally related to the player's fortune in Samsara Online. The higher the points in the fixed attribute 'luck', the more likely you are to deliver critical hits or armor penetration hits in your attacks. In addition, the level of luck also influences the rate of drop within the Samsara world."
The little loli, Jade, explained quickly:
"While the fixed attribute 'charm' is mainly related to how high your charisma will be in the Samsara world. The higher your charm, the better your chances of getting along with the NPCs and getting better missions and rewards. Please assign your points carefully!"
Xie Feng doesn't even hesitate and he assigned the 10 available points to Luck.
Although having 0 charm could affect the way he relates to the NPCs within the game, Xie Feng prefers to have a high drop drop rather than get a better relationship with the NPCs.
Yes, there are missions that only having a high level of charm can be unlocked, but that will be necessary mainly in more advanced parts of the game.
'After all, what interesting things could happen inside the beginner's village?' -Xie Feng thought to himself.
Now, his avatar had been successfully created and his status window looked like this:
[ Player: Shiva
Battle zone: China
VIT: 7
STR: 4
AGI: 4
INT: 10
Luck: 10
Charm: 0 ]
When Jade saw the way Xie Feng distributed his points she was remarkably surprised. However, she soon applauded joyfully and said:
"Ding-Dong! Congratulations, Shiva player! Your character has been successfully created. Now it will be sent to one of the 99999 villages for beginners!"

Before Xie Feng could say anything, the world around him went completely dark and he appeared inside a tunnel with a white light at the end. He didn't have to walk or anything, the system did all the work.
When Xie Feng disappeared, Jade smiled slightly and murmured to herself:
"Good Luck..."
***
As Xie Feng approached the end of the tunnel he felt his eyes were blinded for a moment by the large amount of light.
Xie Feng closed his eyes and heard the system's welcome message in his ears:
[Welcome to Samsara Online. In the world of Samsara, everyone can be reborn! No matter what your identity is in the other world, everyone here has the same start; as far as you can go it will depend on you. I wish you a good reincarnation].
When Xie Feng opened his eyes and carefully observed his surroundings, another system message sounded in his ears:
[You are currently in the Beginners Village number 666, to officially start your adventure in Samsara Online you must climb to level 10 as quickly as possible]
Xie Feng could barely hear the second system message because of the chaotic sound that attacked him when he appeared in Beginner's Village 666.
Xie Feng opened his eyes and looked around. No matter which direction he looked, he could see only one thing:
People!
There were even more people who continually appeared around him in flashes of white light.
According to what Jade told him previously, the total number of villages for beginners is 99,999. This is naturally not the case for all battle zones in the world.
Because China has the largest population in the world compared to the rest of the countries in the world, China was considered an independent battle zone.
In addition, because of the large number of Chinese people, the system had no choice but to create 99,999 villages for beginners. Xie Feng cannot imagine what it would be like if there were fewer villages.
If it is already so crowded, what would the situation be like with less space?
Some players started running towards the NPCs, other players stayed to watch the quality of the game, others just started chatting and a minority started running frantically towards the exit of the village.
The sooner they start to increase their level, the more advantage they can have over the rest of the players. Therefore, nobody who wants to be at the top would waste their time with things that can be done later.
Xie Feng naturally didn't want to waste his time so he first started walking around looking for basic missions and completing them while leveling up.
While Xie Feng was walking he was observing the surroundings. The Beginner's Village was a place that could be described as ancient.
The structures of the place were created in an ancient Western style, similar to the medieval era when there were commoners, knights, nobles and kings.
Xie Feng also saw several NPCs with spears and rough armor patrolling the area. He even saw a player being killed by one of the soldiers because that guy tried to pervertly touch a pretty NPC.
Xie Feng shook his head and began to move faster. However, just as he left the large square he was in, a completely different and unexpected system announcement echoed in his ears.
