"Respected user, 343 yuan has been credited to your virtual account 5203, current balance 343.00 yuan."

Wonderful!

Entering *Azure Sea* was definitely the right choice. Already earned more than 300 on the first day!

Fang Yue looked at the notification, feeling delighted.

The so-called virtual account was one he'd registered on the nation's largest professional gamer platform, mainly used for in-game cash transactions.

Being poor, Fang Yue didn't keep money in his virtual account.

He planned to withdraw today's earnings and put them in his bank card, then treat Sister Yuan to a good meal to celebrate properly.

In any case, this successful start made Fang Yue even more determined to make it in *Azure Sea*.

"Ahead is our village's earth core, the place where the human soul fire is stored."

As Fang Yue was thinking this, Lord Han's voice rang out.

Looking ahead, he saw a huge plaza. In the plaza was a levitating, giant stone sphere, slowly rotating.

Around the plaza were many guards wearing simple armor and holding weapons.

These guards first stared at Fang Yue warily, but after Lord Han waved his hand, they respectfully saluted and dispersed their hostility.

"Our Guyue Village's human soul fire isn't very strong, and the earth core is also small-scale, so the village's territory isn't large and can only affect this small area."

That's what he said, but Fang Yue had followed Lord Han all the way here, and in Fang Yue's opinion, Guyue Village's scale was not small, and its internal facilities were complete, with blacksmith shops, tailor shops, inns, and other facilities.

"From now on, you will sit under the earth core for one *shichen* (two hours) every day. After seven days, the erosion of the [Nightfrost蝕] on your legs will recede."

As he spoke, Lord Han called over a guy on the plaza who looked like a captain, pointed at Fang Yue, and the latter stared at Fang Yue for a while, probably memorizing his appearance, before nodding and leaving.

"Can I come back later to dispel the cold?"

"No, the longer the [Nightfrost蝕] is delayed, the harder it is to cure, unless you want to saw off your legs?"

Fang Yue shook his head repeatedly.

"Good that you don't want to. You sit here and meditate for one *shichen* (two hours), and I'll come and pick you up after one *shichen* (two hours)."

"Okay, thank you, Lord Han."

Watching Lord Han leave, Fang Yue came under the earth core, sat cross-legged, and immediately felt a warm current flowing along the surface of the plaza and merging into his legs.

The previously icy and stiff feeling immediately subsided a lot.

Although the system hadn't prompted him about the [Nightfrost蝕], the previous feeling wasn't fake, and Lord Han had no reason to harm him.

Fang Yue suspected that the system would only prompt him about the [Nightfrost蝕] when the [Nightfrost蝕] had tormented his body to a certain extent.

One *shichen* (two hours) was two hours. It was a little boring to just sit there, but Fang Yue still stayed obediently.

The guard captain saw Lord Han leave, dismissed the guards next to him, and came over.

"Brother Ye, my name is Lin Ling, and I'm the third captain guarding the earth core. During this week, you can come to the earth core to heal, but after a week, without Lord Han's order, you can't come anymore."

"Brother Lin, I know the rules."

"Well, that's good. There's also one more thing. I wonder what is your relationship with Lord Han?"

"…Uh, a friend?"

The captain Lin heard this and smiled.

"Brother Ye is joking. What is Lord Han's status? How could he be friends with you? I've heard that Lord Han has been suffering from a serious illness and wants to find someone to inherit his martial arts, but he doesn't have a suitable candidate. Could it be that little brother is the person Lord Han is looking for?" kanShuZ喇

As he said this, Captain Lin stared straight at Fang Yue, faintly with a hint of threat.

Fang Yue's heart moved, revealing a trace of helplessness: "Brother Lin, don't joke, you see, I suffer from the [Nightfrost蝕], and my body is not well. Plus, at this age, and I don't know any martial arts, how could I catch Lord Han's eye? Lord Han is just kind-hearted and sees that I'm pitiful, so he's helping me."

Fang Yue had inquired about a lot of information from Lord Han.

For example, the best age to learn martial arts is around eleven or twelve years old, when plasticity is the strongest and the upper limit is also high.

At his age, theoretically, even if he learned martial arts, the upper limit wouldn't be very high.

So, saying this information at this time easily fooled him.

"That's also true."

The coldness in Captain Lin's eyes gradually faded, and after chatting for a few more words, he ignored Fang Yue.

This guy.

Fang Yue secretly glanced at Captain Lin, and there was a sentence in his heart that he didn't say.

That is…he is a player.

Players learning martial arts are unlikely to be the same as the native NPCs; there is probably some system assistance.

So age is not a problem at all.

Seeing that only about 15 minutes had passed, Fang Yue couldn't bear it anymore.

He set the character to stay in place in this posture, and Fang Yue chose to exit the game.

"System prompt: Player exits the game, the character will still exist in the game, please confirm that the surroundings are safe, or exit the game in a safe area."

"Friendly reminder 1: Exiting the game in places such as inns, sects, or residences can greatly improve security."

"Friendly reminder 2: Players can use methods such as learning formations, illusions, medicine, and talismans to set up safe areas, which can greatly improve the safety of the character after going offline."

"Friendly reminder 3: When the character in the game encounters danger, the game watch will remind the player to return to the game, please wear the game watch at all times. In addition, players can also set what kind of things the character encounters and what level of prompts to make."

"Does the player want to exit the game now?"

After confirming again to exit the game, Fang Yue opened his eyes in reality.

He looked at the time.

2:10 AM.

Has he been playing for two hours already? He calculated the time, and it would be good to enter the game at around 3:40.

He first set the alarm clock, then impatiently turned on the computer, opened *Dragon Play*, the largest professional player platform in the country, and withdrew the money from his virtual account.

After a while, his phone vibrated, and the arrival SMS arrived.

Fang Yue looked at the three hundred yuan more in his bank card with delight, grinning foolishly for a while, then went to the kitchen to make a bowl of instant noodles, extravagantly adding three sausages and two eggs.

After the instant noodles were ready, he slurped them up.

After eating his fill and tidying up, he opened the *Dragon Play* platform.

As mentioned earlier, the Dragon Play platform is the largest professional player platform in the country, gathering various professional players, and in addition to the trading function, it also provides a forum function.

What Fang Yue opened was the forum function.

When Fang Yue opened the forum, he was immediately stunned.

What came into view was the forum's most popular post, with a large red bold title and moderator highlighting, the content was—*Night Dawn, a Professional Player Leaping Over the Dragon Gate!*

I, I, I, I'm famous?!
