Chapter 318: Starscape’s Secret


    The Gate before them led to a very particr world, one that wasnt a period in Earths history, one that didnt even ssified as being real.


    It was a fantasy time-space rupture.


    Leveling, grinding, drops?


    You start as level zero and your strength improves as your level grows? What?


    A game world?


    What do you mean?


    The group who never touched games in their lives looked on clueless.


    Du Fei said, Technically speaking, this world isnt a period in history, but a new world entirely.


    This Gate was what Thunderstruck Enterprise named Starscape. It was their greatest secret. The job leading the Asia department dint came without its perks, like being privy to this secret for instance.


    He found out about this and was now using Chinas entire force to explore it, all under the nose of the general headquarters. Only one with Du Feis guts could ever pull this off.


    This world has different rules than reality. Regardless of your power here, you will be level 0 once you enter. You wont get to bring your power either. Everyone will have a fresh start, even in terms of identity.


    Identity?


    Du Fei paused, Just like making a new ount. Do you get it now?


    Yeah.


    Noobs Du Fei muttered.


    It wouldve been odd if someone who never touched game knew about them.


    Du Fei said, Simply put, when you get there, your identity and appearance will change. Just like me. After I go in, I will look different, and even if Ie to you saying Im Du Fei, you wont believe me. Thats what I mean.Only allowed on


    I still dont get it.


    Never mind. Any more talk is pointless. Once you get in, youll see.


    Sir Du, what do we get from this instance? Someone asked.


    Interest was what kept the world turning.


    Heaps. You can bring items, like the one I know, a five hundred years old God Fruit. Do you know what that means? Eating it will increase your life by five centuries.


    Is it real of fake


    Of course its real.


    There are also all kinds of treasures, mounts. Theres just too many to count. With enough power, you can have anything.


    I got it!


    Now the crowd understood.


    Li Mo figured out something different.


    Before he and Du Fei talked about this, Li Mo never even knew this Gate existed.


    He had always found something odd. The ancient battleground had some simrities with a game, and barely lived up to one, but the God Realm and a game were too far apart. Why then does the Thunderstruck Enterprise keep calling God Realm Starscape?


    It only dawned on Li Mo when Du Fei came with the news of this Gate.


    Many of his doubts would probably clear the moment he walked through the Gate.


    When Du Fei came to Li Mo with this info, he suggested forming an elite team to conquer it. But not until he saw some videos did hee with this current idea.


    This Gate was a game world and needed arge yer base if they wanted to conquer it. It was a pipe dream doing it with just a handful.


    Take the report with you, everyone. Dont lose it. We will set out tomorrow!


    The next day, Experts Alliances whole members and Thunderstruck Enterprise China divisions members entered Starscape.


    Li Mo was among them.


    Whoosh~


    After the blinding light passed, Li Mo squinted at his surroundings, an empty space. Ten secondster, a beautiful angel appeared.


    Greetings adventurer and wee. I am star envoy nr. 1024, Saiya. Please state your name.


    Li Mo.


    Invalid name. It needs to be longer than four characters.


    Scared_cat.(T/N: a Chinese meme going viral after Messi botched so many shots in scoring a goal in the Argentina d 1:1 game)


    Confirmed.


    Please choose a ss.


    Saiya presented over a dozen images of sses.


    Warrior, swordsman, knight, archer, magician, Daoist, druid, priest, assassin


    Sixteen in total.


    Assassin.


    Li Mo chose it after reading its description.


    They had high agility and capable of stealth. Very useful for surprise attacks and running away.


    Name and ss arepleted. Please chose your destiny.


    A wheel appeared behind Saiya with many characters on it.


    Li Mo spotted at a nce: brave, staunch, cunning, sinister, and something about killing. Hed need hours to read them all.


    Choose your destiny, or let it chose you.


    Come, those blessed by the God Aluya,e and ept your destiny!


    Li Mo stood before the wheel noticing a line of words.


    Three chances of drawing a gift.


    Oh, so its a lottery. Li Mo eximed.


    All races, snow people excluded, naturally, had a gift and this game had to be made in ordance with the real universe.


    [Draw a gift?]


    Li Mo clicked yes.


    The rullete spun. There was no trick to choosing here so Li Mo waited a few second before clicking stop.


    The wheel crawled to a stop and showed the result with a ring.


    [Gift: Cowardice, Level 1: attack reduced by 10%, fleeing speed increased by 10%.]


    Li Mo was stunned, Thisme gift?


    Saiya said, Adventurer, you got the Cowardice gift. It is a great gift, good for running away


    Redo!


    Li Mo chose to draw again.


    Ding!


    [Gift: Impetuous, Level 1: attack increased by 10%, defense decrease by 20%.]


    The increased attack is good, but whats up with that lowered defense?


    Li Mo was an assassin that sported paper thin defense. If he had this gift, wouldnt everyone be able to one-shot him?


    Saiya said, Adventurer, you got the Impetuous gift. It is a great gift, especially for fighting


    Decline!


    Round and round the wheel went.


    Ding!


    [Gift: Petrified, Level 0: 10% chance to be gripped by fear when attacking, making you tremble and unable to perform actions. Theres a 0.01% chance to instill pity in your enemy. (Not upgradeable.)]


    What. The. Hell?


    Li Mo was speechless.


    A/N: As a litrpg novel, going three hundred chapters without writing the game part can be said to be a new record.
