TN: Hello! just wanted to tell that I don´t speak Chinese, I´m completely mtling this novel, if there´s any error or if you have any advice, please leave it the comments! Thanks, I hope you enjoy.

Frontier town (1)

“Buns, fresh buns ~ thin skins and big fillings, delicious and inexpensive buns~”

The aroma of the pasta rushed along with warm greetings. Xia Ruize couldn’t help taking two more mouthfuls. Why are the buns so fragrant today?

“Two meat buns, two vegetable buns.”

Xia Ruize routinely order his breakfast; he lowered his head to reach the mobile phone in his pants pocket.

“Okay, I will charge you five cents, and the guest officer will come again next time!”

The clerk’s greeting was unexpectedly warm and interesting.

“Hahaha…ha?”

Xia Ruize was amused by the greets of the breakfast shop clerk. He often came to this breakfast shop. It was the first time he knew the clerk was funny. Was he playing a role?

While taking over the bun, Xia Ruize looked up and prepared to smile and replied that he only had a certain treasure and did not have five pennies.

Then he was stunned directly, and the laughter stopped abruptly.

In front of Xia Ruize, it was not a familiar breakfast shop at all, but a middle-aged couple dressed in ancient costumes, standing behind the steamer, busy making buns and collecting money from guests.

? ? ?

Xia Ruize was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look around. He seemed to be standing on a busy commercial street. The surrounding buildings were bungalow courtyards. It is rare that there is a small building with a wooden structure, which is not like the big capital at all.

Even more bizarre is that the pedestrians passing by are all dressed in ancient costumes of coarse cloth and linen. Most of them have yellow and thin faces, and their eyes are dull. They are completely different from the exquisite and beautiful white-collar workers in the big city.

Did he…cross?

“Hey, young master, where’s the money?” Seeing that Xia Ruize hadn’t paid the money for a long time, the clerk was unhappy and reminded him aloud.

At the same time, he looked at Xia Ruize with suspicion. Although this young man was dressed strangely, he was white and clean. He looked like a child of a good family. Does he still want to eat free food?

Xia Ruize was reminded, and finally recovered. He subconsciously prepared to apologize and return the buns in his hands to the shop owner. Out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly noticed that behind him, standing on his right, was a person who was incompatible with this environment.

Xia Ruize had turned to the left to check before. This person was in his blind spot, but the other party had obviously seen Xia Ruize a long time ago and was looking over.

Different from Xia Ruize’s simple dress in a plaid shirt and casual pants, the man on the opposite side is wearing a full suit. The collar and cuffs are all exquisite, and the temperament is elegant and noble.

The tall, handsome man with bright features was also staring at Xia Ruize, his eyes full of scrutiny.

It turns out that he is not the only one passing through?

Just as Xia Ruize and the man in the suit were looking at each other, the surrounding scenes suddenly stopped. White gas rose from the steamer of the steamed bun shop and solidified in mid-air. The noisy street was instantly muted, and everyone’s movements were frozen in place.

The only change is that on the half-meter-high steamer between Xia Ruize and the man in the suit, a blank area similar to white paper appeared. A line of black text appeared from the bottom of the white paper and scrolled up to the center of the white paper.

[At the end of the summer, barbarian tribes invaded, broke up mountains and rivers, and the people were struggling to survive. The fall began in Bianlu city…

Main mission:

1. Survive for three days

2. Kill three barbarians.

Completed mission: reward 1,000 survival points.

Mission failure: deduct 500 survival points

Special reminder: Novices who lose survival points in two consecutive worlds will be obliterated!]

At the same time, there was a sensation of vibration from their wrists, and they realized that there was a watch on their wrists for some reason. The screen of the watch was large, and they were scrolling the same content as on the white paper.

The black text firmly attracted the attention of the two, and the line “Mission failure: deduct 500 survival points” was marked in red and bold, showing its importance.

Below this line of bright red characters, the special reminder line with a smaller font size seems to have a stronger sense of existence because of the word “obliterate”.

It turned out to be not a simple crossing!

Xia Ruize immediately realized something, and a sense of absurdity came from the bottom of his heart.

This world is too real, and his thoughts are so clear that he is not in his sleep. If you exclude the possibility that someone is willing to trick him such a small person at a high price, the most incredible guesses are more like facts…

Just when Xia Ruize wanted to say something to the man in the suit who looked similar to him, his eyes suddenly passed the other person and looked into the distance.

When the surrounding pictures are still, sporadic movements will be very obvious.

Xia Ruize discovered that on the other side of the street separated by a group of pedestrians, there were two other people who were clearly dressed in modern clothes.

There was a man and a woman over there. The girl had her back to Xia Ruize, and he could only see her long curly maroon hair, white dress and shiny high heels.

The man facing Xia Ruize was dressed as a sunny college student in a T-shirt and jeans, but at this time the expression on his face that was about to cry was not sunny at all.

The two seemed to know each other, and the girl clenched her fist and beat the boy’s arm in a huge panic.

The man in the suit in front of Xia Ruize also followed his gaze and looked to the rear, and found the other two “companions”. If they were right, they would have been “traversed” together.

“Hello…”

The man in the suit turned his head, smiled in such a situation, and looked gentle. He tried to say something to Xia Ruize, but the surrounding pictures suddenly resumed operation and everything became fresh again.

The noisy sound filled his ears again, and the frozen pedestrian resumed his action. The vendor in front of him reached out his hand to ask Xia Ruize for the money for the buns. After finding that Xia Ruize was just stunned, the enthusiastic smile on the vendor’s face disappeared, and his eyes were full of suspicion.

At this moment, Xia Ruize felt the ground under his feet vibrate slightly, was it an earthquake?

He immediately looked around, only to find that there was still a prosperous and peaceful street just now, but now everyone had an expression of horror, and all of them subconsciously looked towards the end of the street on the north side.

Even the middle-aged couple who sold steamed buns didn’t care about the entanglement with Xia Ruize. They looked at the end of the street with horror. The wife clutched her husband’s clothes tightly, her body was already half-sided, and she seemed to be ready to run away at any time.

Xia Ruize and the man in the suit moved in their hearts, and followed the crowd to look to the north. They saw a city wall at the end of the street, but at this time, the door of the city wall opened wide, and more than a dozen fast horses rushed through the door without any hesitation.

The barbarian could be seen, with black lines painted on their faces, horns on their heads, and a wild grin in their mouths. They quickly rode their horses through the crowd. At the same time, the big knife in their hands were severely slashed towards the crowd on both sides. 

The horse was fast, almost in the blink of an eye, with the screams of the wounded, the sound of the horse’s hooves was getting closer, and the hideous faces on the horses’  back became clearer and clearer.   

 “The barbarians are coming!”  “The barbarians are killing!”  “Run!”…    

Screams of horror came to his ears, and the crowd fled in all directions.    

Xia Ruize watched the stump and blood flying in the air, no matter how thoughts reminded him, “Danger! Get out of the way!”, his body couldn’t respond in time and just stayed in place.    

“Be careful!”

The man in the suit suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Xia Ruize, dragging him from the center of the road to the side of the road, avoiding the fast-running war horses and the barbarians holding butcher knives on horsebacks.    

However, this is not the end.    

The direction of the city gate became noisy again. It turned out that a barbarian without a horse rushed in from outside the city and raised the butcher knife at the civilian who was holding his head to dodge.    

“Hide!”

The man in the suit didn’t have time to say anything else, and pushed Xia Ruize into the alley to the side, signaling him to hide, and he ran to the other alley. The two of them dispersed, so the chances of survival were greater.

Xia Ruize was pushed into a stagger, but his body finally reacted and obeyed the orders of his brain. Finally, he glanced at the tragedy in the distance, and hurriedly ran towards the alley, trying to find a place to hide before talking.

There were four families in the alley, but the courtyard doors were all closed, Xia Ruize tried to knock on the door, but there was no response. He had to continue running deep into the alley.

Unfortunately, his luck is not so good. This alley is a dead end. Where could he hide?

Xia Ruize looked at the tall courtyard wall. There was basically no possibility of overturning. Instead, there were a pile of baskets stacked in the corner of the alley.

Xia Ruize’s eyes lit up and rushed to the pile of baskets, quickly selected a basket, raised the basket, squatted in, and then covered himself with the basket.

There was a pungent smell in the basket, but at this time he can’t take care of that much. It would be nice to barely find a hiding place.

The basket that Xia Ruize chose was located in the middle of a pile of baskets. It was relatively hidden. There were some baskets in front to help block his figure. Through the gap between the baskets, he could barely see the situation in the alley.

The alley is not straight, it has a certain curvature, Xia Ruize can only see the corner closest to him, and couldn´t see the situation of the main commercial street before.

But he could hear the screaming and crying from a distance, and he could hear his nervous heartbeat.

Only then did Xia Ruize realize that because he was too nervous, he was still holding the bag of buns wrapped in oil paper tightly in his hands. The buns were still hot, because all this series of changes happened within a few minutes.

Xia Ruize took out the mobile phone in his pocket. As expected, the mobile phone had no signal, and emergency calls could not be made. He had to turn off the mobile phone to mute and study the watch that suddenly appeared on his wrist.

The watch has a large screen, touch screen, and easy operation.

There are currently three icons in the bright state on the display of the watch, namely

[Personal][Space] and [Task].

Xia Ruize clicked on his personal information, and saw it displayed:

[Name: Xia Ruize

    Gender: Male

    Age: 25

    Strength: 1

    Agility: 1

    Physique: 3

    Spirit: 1.

    Life: 30]

As a game designer, such a list of attributes is too familiar, Xia Ruize couldn’t help showing a bitter smile, turning himself into a character in the game, it was really the first time.

There is nothing important in his personal information, there is no comparison, so Xia Ruize didn´t know what level his data was.

He clicked on [Space], and the display showed an empty box with “1” written on it.

Xia Ruize seemed to feel something. He moved the phone in his right hand close to the watch. With a thought, the phone disappeared from his hand and appeared in a box on the watch screen.

After repeated several times, Xia Ruize confirmed that this so-called space can indeed store and take out objects according to his wishes.

This is not happy news. With Xia Ruize’s superficial knowledge, the development of space equipment in his civilization is entirely based on imagination.

But now as a “game novice” he can easily obtain a one cubic meter of space equipment. The facts remind him time and time again that he is not dreaming now.

In the end, the information in the [Mission] was the same as what he saw on the steamer. Xia Ruize studied it twice, he was watching the outside world from the gap in the basket and saw a shocking scene.

The young boy wearing a T-shirt and jeans that he saw when the world paused before, appeared at the corner, crying and running towards the depths of the alley.

Xia Ruize saw tears on his face, one arm had disappeared, and the whole white T-shirt was dyed red with blood.

Xia Ruize subconsciously wanted to get up. The next second, the boy was slashed by big knife on his back, and the boy fell to the ground with a single stab, his head fell off, and he died in an instant.

Xia Ruize froze in place, watching two barbarians turning around the corner, one of them kicked the boy on the ground aside, and then the two barbarians stared at a closed courtyard door.

The two barbarians didn’t even notice Xia Ruize who was hiding in a pile of baskets in the corner. They smashed open the wooden door together, and rushed into the courtyard with a grinning smile.

Xia Ruize was staring at the wrist watch of the same style as his own on the boy, he clenched his fists and clenched his teeth.

There was a woman’s scream from the small courtyard nearby, and then a woman stumbled and ran out, she didn´t take two steps before she was dragged by the barbarians who followed and fell to the ground.

“Help! Don’t! Help…”

The woman cried out for help, but the only response to her was the wanton laughter of the barbarians.

The barbarian threw the big knife aside, leaned down and went to strip the woman’s clothes. A pair of big hands easily suppressed all the resistance of the woman, tearing the woman’s clothes to pieces in a few strokes.

Xia Ruize watched as the woman was slapped by the barbarian because she repeatedly called for help. She vomited blood and couldn’t even make a sound. He also looked at the boy who fell on the ground wearing a T-shirt and jeans. He knew that if he wanted to live, he couldn´t just hide.    

Xia Ruize thought, and the basket he was carrying was directly put in the system space. He slowly stood up and approached the violent barbarian along the corner, or in other words, to the big knife that was thrown to the ground by the barbarian.

Xia Ruize’s shoes are comfortable casual shoes. Under his deliberate control, he could barely make any noise while walking. What’s more, the attention of the barbarian at this time is on the woman under him, and Xia Ruize is approaching step by step without knowing.

The struggling woman saw Xia Ruize, and her eyes lit up immediately. She did not blindly ask for help to expose Xia Ruize, but tried her best to struggle violently, attracting the Barbarian to focus all of her attention on her.

Xia Ruize moved to the big knife, carefully picked up the big knife on the ground, raised it high, gritted his teeth, and quickly swung it down at the barbarian’s neck!
