2 The Returnee

"System notification: Congratulations, you have obtained a hidden profession: Sha Bo the Asura (Warrior Class)."

This… this was a hidden profession?

Lin Shuang's eyes were filled with surprise. Although he had no chance of obtaining a hidden profession in his previous life, he had heard others talk about it.

There was a hidden class in this game. There were extremely few people who could obtain a hidden profession. Unexpectedly, the system gave him a hidden profession in this life.

His luck was too heaven-defying! Could it be because of this luck talent?

"System notification: Dear player, the profession has been automatically bound. Please name the character in time."

It was time for the most critical naming segment!

Lin Shuang composed himself and remembered the name of his game in his previous life: Hero in the Wind. It was named based on the great anticipation and passion when he first entered the game.

But now, he has already lived two lives. After experiencing that massacre, Lin Shuang no longer had any expectations for this game. There was only the determination to dig deeper into the conspiracy and break through.

He thought for a while.

Lin Shuang said without thinking, "The name of the character, The Returnee."

"System notification: The name has been successfully chosen. Please wait patiently. The game will start in five minutes."

Time passed minute by minute until there was still a minute left before the server opened.

"System notification: The game will start in one minute. Please choose the novice village."

"Youlong Village!"

Lin Shuang chose Youlong Village without thinking. This was the novice village he had chosen in his previous life. Lin Shuang still vaguely remembered the mission points, monster farming points, and Boss respawn points.

"System notification: You have successfully chosen the Novice Village: Youlong Village. You are about to be teleported to: Youlong Village!"

The scene in front of him slowly rotated, as if it had formed a spatial tunnel.

"Swoosh!"

Lin Shuang was sucked into the tunnel.

In the tunnel, Lin Shuang calmly planned an upgrade route. As a reborn person, he had an advantage that others did not have. He was extremely familiar with the routines and rules of the game. This was also an advantage that would allow him to win at the starting line.

Suddenly, the tunnel trembled violently, as if it had been hit by something. Immediately after, Lin Shuang felt his vision blur as he was sent out of the tunnel!

"System notification: Your location: Luhua Village!"

"Damn! Didn't I choose Youlong Village? Why did you send me to this Luhua Village!"

Lin Shuang was speechless.

This system was too unreliable! No matter, the novice level-up process was similar, so it shouldn't affect him much.

Lin Shuang comforted himself and calmed down, waiting for the game to start.

"System notification: The game will start in ten seconds. Please be prepared."

"System notification: The game will start in nine seconds…"

The system reads the last seconds until it reads: The game will start in zero seconds…

Lin Shuang felt a flash and he saw ordinary buildings. It was built in a European style and was made of marble. He looked at the surroundings. Why did it look like someone's backyard?

Lin Shuang observed his surroundings and checked his information.

The Returnee

Occupation: Sha Bo the Asura (Hidden)

Level: 1

Health: 100

Attack: 5

Defense: 5

Talent: Lucky Halo

...

It seemed that this hidden class did not increase the basic value of the character at all.

Lin Shuang found a door and pushed it open.

Outside the door was the street of the village. At this moment, the streets were already crowded with countless players dressed in yellow cloth clothes and holding wooden clubs.

"Hurry up! If we're late, there won't be any monsters for us to kill!"

"Snatch, brothers! If we don't snatch every monster, how can we snatch the world!"

"Big Brother, wait for me!"

The shouts continued. This was the first time the players entered such a real game, and they were all excited.

Lin Shuang shook his head and smiled. This was so similar to his past self. They were filled with enthusiasm and curiosity about new things.

Holding the wooden stick in his hand, Lin Shuang was about to go out to fight monsters when he realized that there was a purple handkerchief on the steps at the door.

This was?

Lin Shuang bent down to pick up the handkerchief.

Purple Handkerchief (White)

Introduction: A handkerchief used to wipe sweat. It still has a trace of a young girl's fragrance.

Handkerchief? Was this considered equipment? Lin Shuang was confused. Why was the game completely unpredictable after his rebirth?

At this moment, a stumbling old granny appeared in front of him. She had white hair and wore thick reading glasses. She walked straight towards Lin Shuang. When she saw the handkerchief in his hand, she actually started muttering with tears in her eyes.

"Isn't… isn't this my poor granddaughter's handkerchief? It's actually here. Brave adventurer, can you give me the handkerchief in your hand? This is the only thing my granddaughter left for me…"

"Does this handkerchief belong to your granddaughter?" Lin Shuang asked her.

"Yes, brave adventurer. As long as you're willing to give it to me, I'm willing to exchange everything I have for it."

"Since it's your granddaughter's belongings, I'll return it to you." As Lin Shuang spoke, he handed the handkerchief to the granny. This handkerchief had no attributes, so it was useless for him to take it.

"Thank God! I sincerely bless you! Brave adventurer, I have a shirt here. I'll exchange it with you!"

The granny took the handkerchief excitedly, took out a yellow coat, and stuffed it into Lin Shuang's hand. With that, the granny turned around and left.

This…

Lin Shuang looked at the old granny's departing figure and felt that everything had happened so suddenly! He inexplicably obtained a shirt!

He looked at the attributes of the coat given by the granny and his heart churned.

Lingluo Robe

Grade: Purple

Defense: 20

Health Points: 120

Additional effect: Recovers 2 health points every second.

Introduction: The granny's proud work. Every stitch and thread is so detailed and exquisite!

It was actually Purple equipment! Lin Shuang widened his eyes in disbelief.

In Glory, equipment was divided into nine levels. They were: Gray, White, Green, Purple, Orange, Red, Gold, and Rainbow.

Usually, before leaving the novice village, a piece of Green equipment was extremely rare. This ordinary-looking granny actually gave him Purple equipment.

This was too generous! No, it was not generous. It should be called extravagant!

Lin Shuang happily took off the yellow cloth that the system had given him and changed into the long robe. The moment he put on the exquisite long robe, he immediately felt much more radiant.

The Returnee

Occupation: Sha Bo the Asura (Hidden)

Level: 1

Health: 220

Attack: 5

Defense: 20

Talent: Lucky Halo

...

When he checked his attributes again, his health and defense had increased greatly. This time, it should be difficult for the monsters in the beginner village to break through his defense.

"Alright, let's go out and level up!"

Lin Shuang was in a good mood after getting a Purple equipment for free. He was about to go out to fight monsters.

A burly man suddenly ran over from the street. He was bare-chested and only wore a pair of shorts. He looked flustered and turned around from time to time, looking very sorry. It seemed to be an NPC. When he ran to Lin Shuang's side, he glanced and saw the yellow cloth in Lin Shuang's hand.

Joy immediately appeared on the burly man's face as he hurriedly ran towards Lin Shuang.

"Little brother! I have a favor to ask!"

The burly man held on to the door frame, out of breath.

"What… is the matter?"

Lin Shuang was dumbfounded as he looked at the burly man who was panting. What was going on? Why were NPCs constantly coming to his door?

"Little brother, can you lend me this shirt to wear? I'm in a hurry."
