Suddenly, a line of semi - illusory blue text popped up in front of his eyes:
[You have been injected with [Valkyrie Solution], Endurance Potential +1, Gained Specialization - High Concentration, Gained Specialization - Low - Level Mental Toughness]
“Panel information!” Han Xiao was delighted inwardly.
A semi - transparent blue light screen unfolded in his line of sight, looking very sci - fi and not affecting his vision.

The game panel of “Star Ocean”. Thank goodness it was still there. Surely, God blesses those who are bold.
However, Han Xiao quickly discovered something unusual.
NPC template? He wasn't a player himself? Countdown to the opening of the 1.0 public beta?
Han Xiao's brows furrowed as he realized several important things.
First, although it wasn't clear why the attribute panel had traveled with him, this was the real world, where every life was precious, and he wouldn't be resurrected once he died like in the game.
Second, he had traveled as an NPC but had the system panel of a player. This was definitely good news, as he could upgrade and grow like a player.
Third, the public - test countdown made him realize that the real world had seemingly returned to the time before the release of Star Ocean. He had really gone back to the past! So, would those players from the past reappear?
Fourth, and most importantly, his current situation was dangerous!
Han Xiao was frustrated. Look at other people's time - travel experiences. That was the normal way to start: 500 gold, ten population, with resources and helpers, and maybe even an ex - girlfriend. Even if there was no such good fortune, at least the environment was relatively safe. Even if there was an enemy who wanted to kill you, they would only sneak - attack you from behind. But what about him? He started in a battle situation, alone, and was caught in the enemy's territory. It was as if God didn't pay attention and sent him straight to the Hall of Valor......assuming there was such a place.
Han Xiao now didn't have the player's resurrection ability. He only had one life, and it would be a pity to lose it here.
That's right,......what he thought was “pity”, which was a bit different from what normal people would think, like “I must live”. As for “my life is in my own hands, not in heaven's hands” or “if heaven wants to destroy me, I'll destroy heaven” and other such bombastic thoughts, those were generally the reactions of people in the late stage of the ** (secondary - school - student - like) syndrome.
“What the hell! Am I the only one who's had such a tough start?” Han Xiao spat.
Even though his senses were indistinguishable from the real thing, he had huge doubts in his heart.
What was the essence of his own existence? A real life? Or a set of data? A soul that had traveled through?
“As it is, we can only take one step at a time and see what happens.” Han Xiao secretly thought. No matter what he was, if he didn't want to die heroically, he could only find a way to survive.
There was still a year until the public beta. He had a year to prepare himself before the players arrived, which was the only good news that cheered him up at the moment. He had a deep understanding of the destructive power of players. They were like a plague of locusts, synonymous with chaos and madness.
“Clang!”
At this moment, the door to the small dark room opened, and several people walked in. Due to the backlighting, it was impossible to see their faces clearly. Han Xiao could only vaguely make out that the leader had a shapely figure and was a woman with a hot body.
“How's the status of the test subjects?” The woman spoke to her subordinates behind her. Her voice had a slightly husky quality, like a cup of rich coffee, languid with a touch of sensuality.
“Looks like it's out of the manic phase.” The head of the experiment, Lin Weixian, looked Han Xiao up and down with a greedy gaze, his eyes like those of someone looking at his own private property.
Han Xiao hissed, “Who are you people?”
“Hmm? Seems like the memory is affected?” The woman raised an eyebrow.
“Valkyrie stimulates the brain, and memory loss is a normal reaction.” Lin Weixian narrowed his eyes.
As his eyes gradually adapted to the light, Han Xiao got a good look at the woman's appearance and was immediately stunned.
She had a head of burgundy long curly hair, covering half of her face. She was wearing a tight black combat uniform, and her hot body seemed as if it was about to burst out of her clothes, very likely to arouse male hormones. Her facial features combined the three - dimensionality of Westerners and the softness of Easterners, like a mixed - blood child. She was beautiful and charming, with black eye shadow, exuding a mature and languid temperament, just like a beautiful snake.
If Daji had this level of beauty, King Zhou didn't die unjustly. This thought flashed through Han Xiao's mind.
“Hela, the supervisor here.” The red - haired beauty looked at Han Xiao and waved her hand, saying, “Take him down for a blood test. I want to see the report right away!”
Two expressionless elite guards stepped forward, one on the left and the other on the right, grabbing Han Xiao's arms and dragging him out. Han Xiao looked at the strong bodies under the guards' uniforms and the pistols on their waists and immediately gave up his plan to resist on the spot.
He recognized “Red Snake” Hela, one of the challenge scenarios in Aquamarine - “Valkyrie Labs”, a subordinate base of the Sprout Organization.
In version 1.0, Hela, as a BOSS, had defeated countless new players born on Aquamarine. She was called the “Retreat Sister” on the forums. In the future, she even became an intergalactic powerhouse in the Colton Cluster, with a strength surpassing the Heavenly Calamity level. She was crowned the “Goddess of Death” and became famous throughout the entire Broken Star Rim.
Han Xiao secretly laughed bitterly. His own situation was really dire. It was like a cold winter night, chilling him to the bone!
......
Although it took a little longer than expected (mainly because I was lazy for half a month, and yes, I'm that shameless ), but those aren't important. The point is that it's finally time to release the book!
The new book needs everyone's care and attention. So, please recommend it! Please collect it! Please support it! Please support it!
