[Attention, all inhabitants of Blue Star: the Mist World has opened, and humanity has entered a final survival trial with no return.]
[All eligible humans have been forcibly transmigrated, granted a bound shelter, and designated as lords of their own territories.]
[This mist-shrouded world is filled with monsters, disasters, scarce resources, and hostile lords—death is permanent, trust is costly, and only power determines survival.]
[A seven-day Novice Protection Period is now active. The first Survival Trial begins after its conclusion. Prepare accordingly.]
….
Lin Feng stood in an unfamiliar wooden house, his face full of confusion and shock.
He wasn't a native of Blue Star but of Earth.
Just a while ago he had transmigrated to this blue star because a meteor had hit his head, crushing him to death.
Then before he could even accept the identity of Blue Star, he was pulled into a survival trial?
He wondered if he was cursed by some goddesses for fantasizing about them.
Calming himself down, Lin Feng looked at the flickering holographic panel.
[Personal Information] [Territory] [Chat] [Trade] [Announcement]
There were only five options.
He did not hesitate and tapped on the [Personal Information].
[Name: Lin Feng]
[Level: 1 (0/100)]
[Region: 6666]
[Strength: 4]
[Agility: 3]
[Constitution: 4]
[Spirit: 30]
[Skills: None]
[Note: Standard human attributes range between 5 and 6.]
Looking at the exaggerated spirit attribute, Lin Feng was stunned.
He could not help but wonder if it was good or bad.
Shaking his head, he cast aside thoughts.
There was no time to ponder over what he couldn't do anything about.
So he shifted to [Chat], which was further divided into [World Channel], [Regional Channel] and [Friend Channel].
Entering the [World Channel], he saw messages refreshing constantly. It was so fast that he could barely even read a word.
So he entered the [Regional Channel]
This channel was composed of ten thousand lords and most of them were from the same city. Some were even from the same apartment.
[Mu Zhong: Anyone who can send me back gets 100 million! I'll pay immediately!]
[Su Han: Where's the government? Where's the military?! Someone explain what's happening!
[Ye Ming: My wife was with me just now—has anyone seen Ye Ming's wife?! Please!]
[Lan Yue: Is there food here? I'm already hungry…]
[Zu Yan: I didn't even have time to wear clothes. Does anyone have spare clothes?]
[Zhong Dong: Upstairs it was midnight when we transmigrated. Don't tell me you were taking a bath at such a time.]
Various messages refreshed, some asking for help, some asking for food and some even asking for clothes.
Lin Feng didn't waste too much time here.
After assessing the general situation, he shifted his gaze towards the [Announcement].
This channel belonged to the consciousness of the Mist World itself.
Any critical notices, updates, and the Mist Survival guide were posted here.
There was also the information about where to find sealed children as well as missing family members who were either old or handicapped.
However, this has nothing to do with Lin Feng.
He was an orphan on the earth as well as on the blue star.
So he continued reading the guide, which did nothing more than explain how the territory and its functions worked.
[Announcement: In one minute, your talents will be awakened.]
[Note: Talents are divided into nine ranks: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. The F-rank is the weakest and the SSS-rank is the highest.]
The cold and ethereal voice stunned everyone.
The next moment chat channels exploded.
[Regional Channel No. 6666]
[Zhao Kai: Talents?! There's really talent?!]
[Li Qiang: Nine ranks… SSS? Is that even possible?!]
[Lan Yue: One minute… I'm scared. Please don't be F-rank.]
[Zu Yan: If it's combat-related, I might survive. If not …]
[Ye Ming: I don't care about the talent. Just let me find my wife.]
[Wang Lei: Do talents affect combat? Or survival? Anyone know?!]
New faces constantly appeared in chat channels.
Lin Feng did not speak; however, he kept reading with anticipation, wondering what kind of talent he would awaken.
Buzz!
Suddenly a soft white light descended from the sky, enveloping his entire body.
Right after that, the cold and ethereal voice rang.
[Congratulations to Lord Lin Feng on awakening an F-grade talent: Farmer]
[Talent Effect: When planting crops, yield is increased by 1%.]
"…"
Lin Feng was stunned.
Farmer?
F-grade?
Yield increased by 1%?
Is that thing really talent? The fertilizers were better than this!
[Regional Channel No. 6666]
[Zhao Kai: Hahaha! E-rank Strength Enhancement! I can work with this!]
[Li Qiang: D-rank Tactical Analysis… at least it's not combat trash.]
[Lan Yue: I-I got F-rank cooking… is this useless?]
[Zu Yan: C-rank Cold Resistance. That's… unexpected.]
[Ye Ming: B-rank Tracking. I can find people… I can find my wife!]
Some were pleased and some were sad.
Just at this moment, the voice of the mist world rang again.
[Announcement: Talent awakening for this region has been completed.]
[Total Lords: 10,000]
[F-rank Talents: 7,212]
[E-rank Talents: 2,7001]
[D-rank and above: 87]
Looking at the announcement, everyone sucked in a cold breath.
Less than ninety people awakened D-rank and above.
What was this? An SSS-rank joke?
Many started complaining this wasn't fair; however, they were instantly muted for a day by Mist World.
Watching the drama unfold, Lin Feng remained silent and comforted himself.
At least I have a house to settle down in.
He thought, instantly feeling better.
However, just then the flickering holographic panel froze.
[Anomalous fluctuation detected.]
[Spirit attribute exceeds standard human threshold.]
[Compatibility check in progress …]
[Compatibility confirmed.]
[Ten Thousandfold Replication System loading …]
[Loading complete.]
[Congratulations to the host, the Ten Thousandfold Replication System, successfully bound.]
A series of soft voices echoed in his mind.
Lin Feng was once again stunned and soon his expression became ecstatic.
System!
A golden finger!
Every transmigrator gets one; he got one too.
"System, what are your functions?" he inquired while forcing himself to calm down.
[Ding! The system can replicate any item placed inside the system space.]
