“Zhou Chen! When are you going to pay the rent?”

8

At the entrance of a small single bed room, a plump landlady with her hands on her hips frowned and said to a young man.

4

“Two days. Sister Wang, give me two more days. My salary will come in two days, and I will pay you then.”

The young man named Zhou Chen stood in the narrow room and smiled at his landlady.

“Alright! I'm not a bad person. I'll believe you this once, but if you don't pay in two days, I'll have to chase you out!”

The landlady seemed to enjoy being called Sister Wang. After warning him, she moved her fat body and left the corridor.

Zhou Chen heaved a sigh of relief.

“This poor guy… can't even afford to pay the rent…”

The reason why he said this was because the current him was not the original owner of this body. The original owner had already committed suicide due to depression not long ago. The soul that occupied this body now was a person who had the same name from Earth, the young man from China who had died in a car accident.

29

Because he had gained the original owner's memories, Zhou Chen knew a lot of information about his current identity and this world.

He was currently in Planet Blue's Dragon Country, a country that was similar to the Earth's Dynasty in many aspects. He was an 18-year-old orphan who came from the Dragon Country's Yang City Orphanage. The balance of Dragon Country's currency on him was only 56.

[You have been selected by the Infinite Survival System as a Survivor. The beginner's trial is about to begin.]

Suddenly, an emotionless mechanical voice sounded in Zhou Chen's mind.

“What the hell?! Does this body suffer from hallucinations?”

6

Zhou Chen straightaway thought that he was hallucinating.

[Generating random individual talent… Random… You have obtained the Unique talent: Passive Plunderer.]

[Passive Plunderer: The passive skill of the target you kill will be plundered by you. You can choose to absorb, activate, deactivate, or abandon the passive skill.]

22

When this so-called hallucination sounded in Zhou Chen's mind again, he realized that things were not that simple.

[Starting the Trial…]

Before he could figure out the situation, he felt his mind go adrift. The surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and he went from the single room to the wilderness.

4

This wilderness looked very monotonous. The vast land only had weeds and protruding mounds, while the sky was filled with thick clouds that were so dark that it seemed like it was about to rain.

Zhou Chen stood alone in this strange place. He forced himself to focus and listen to the instructions of the so-called infinite survival system.

[Beginner's Trial]

[Difficulty: Low Bronze]

5

[Mission: Survive for three minutes under the siege of the wights.]

8

[Prompt: Failure will result in death. Please take this seriously.]

1

“Survive three minutes under the siege of the wights… Wights? Where are they? Don't tell me they're in those mounds…”

2

Zhou Chen, who had quickly accepted the current situation, immediately swept his gaze across the mounds on the ground and ran away.

9

Reality proved that his thoughts were correct. Decaying and dried black humanoid bodies crawled out of the mounds.

1

Once these unclean things came out, they raised their disgusting, dry heads and looked in his direction, then twisted their ferocious limbs and rapidly crawled toward him.

Because Zhou Chen had taken the initiative to distance himself from the mounds, the wights were not able to immediately catch up to him.

In order to survive, Zhou Chen used all his strength to run.

“Three minutes… Just hold on for three minutes…”

Zhou Chen cheered himself on as he fled.

However, this so-called beginner mission was not that simple. After running for a while, he realized that the wights were not just limited to those that appeared from the mounds in the wilderness. They appeared from other directions as well. These disgusting things were crawling on the ground and surrounding him.

“Not good… I can't evade…”

Although he had distanced himself from the group of wights, he saw the wights surrounding him from all directions and their speed was not slow. It was impossible for him to evade all of them. He would definitely have to go through a few of them.

“There's no other way… I will have to risk it!”

Zhou Chen stopped running. He suppressed the fear of these disgusting monsters in his heart and charged in the direction with the fewest monsters. Then, he quickly approached a lone wight and kicked its head.

10

Crack!

Amidst the sound of bones breaking, Zhou Chen realized that the head of the wight he had kicked flew out like a rubber ball and rolled onto the ground. The corpse that was connected to the head also instantly stopped moving.

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have plundered the Wight's passive skill “Corpse Poison I”. Do you want to absorb it?]

“Absorb!”

6

Zhou Chen immediately shouted in his mind.

Although he had killed a wight, more wights were crawling out of the ground. There were too many wights, and he could not guarantee that he could last until the end. Therefore, in the current situation, he had to use any means to increase his combat strength.

Soon, Zhou Chen felt a cold energy in his body, and his skin seemed to become darker.

However, he did not have the time to care about these things. He was still squeezing out his energy to run for his life. At the same time, he attacked the wights blocking the way when he had nowhere to run.

Whoosh

A crawling wight in front of Zhou Chen suddenly lowered its body and jumped up, pouncing on him.

It was difficult for Zhou Chen to dodge since he was running at high speed. He could only punch the head of the flying wight.

His punch carried the momentum of running. It was not weak and directly knocked the wight to the ground.

However, he was also affected by the wight's momentum. Although he was lucky not to be attacked, his body staggered and fell to the ground.

“I can't lay down!”

Zhou Chen scrambled to his feet as soon as he fell to the ground, because he knew very well that the current situation did not allow him to lay on the ground. That would definitely cause him to die very quickly.

Just as he stood up, Zhou Chen saw that the wight that he had hit on the ground earlier was not dead, but its dry head seemed to have corroded slightly. Its speed had also decreased, and it was unable to catch up to him.

“Corpse poison seems to be of some use to the wights… This corpse poison's power is definitely not low. I can't let myself be attacked by the wights…”

9

Zhou Chen immediately understood.. He used all his strength to continue fleeing, determined to survive this last bit of time.
