At the first light of dawn, Chu He woke up.
He glanced at the time on his phone, his expression strange. "I've slept for less than four hours, so why am I so energetic? I don't feel any fatigue at all."
He knew that in the past, if he didn't get eight hours of sleep, he would feel completely dazed.
"Is it because of the increase in Spirit?" Chu He muttered to himself.
It had been a long time since he had woken up this early, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Start a livestream?
Forget it, I'll go get breakfast instead.
Chu He went out wearing a top, shorts, and slippers.
There weren't many people on the street yet, but the breakfast shops along the road had already started operating.
Chu He truly admired the people who made breakfast.
Waking up so early to work, day in and day out, their perseverance was truly exceptional.
Chu He walked to a Baozi shop.
There were only two or three customers in the shop at the moment.
He ordered a steamer of Baozi, plus a bowl of porridge and two tea eggs.
He couldn't help but recall what some expert had said.
It was rumored that only the wealthy could afford to eat tea eggs.
If he ate two tea eggs for breakfast, would that count as being extremely wealthy?
Thinking of this, Chu He couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Chu He, what are you smiling at?"
A sudden voice rang out in front of Chu He.
Chu He looked up and saw a girl in a white dress with her hair in a bun appear out of thin air across from his empty table.
"Shan Shan?" Chu He was somewhat surprised.
"Do you have a death wish?"
"Have you forgotten the Player Rules?" Chu He stared at Shan Shan, lowering his voice and speaking in a deep tone.
As he spoke, he also glanced at the other people in the shop.
Finding that no one else was looking over, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
One had to know that the Player Rules explicitly forbade using game powers in front of ordinary people.
Yet Shan Shan had just used an Invisibility Skill so blatantly; she was far too bold.
Chu He had been planning to recruit Shan Shan into his Blood Alliance.
If she died because of such a stupid mistake, that would be ridiculous.
"Brother Chu He, I didn't use any game powers," Shan Shan explained.
"If you didn't use game powers, then how did you turn invisible?" Chu He asked.
"Brother Chu He, when did I ever say I could turn invisible?" Shan Shan asked back, taking a bite of a Baozi.
"If it's not Invisibility, then what is it?" Chu He's expression was Stunned.
"It's because of my Talent."
"Talent?" Chu He looked at her in surprise.
"Brother Chu He, my Talent is called Little Transparent."
"The effect is that if I don't speak, my presence is lowered, and I won't be discovered by others," Shan Shan laughed.
"Uh... there's a Talent like that?" Chu He looked at Shan Shan, somewhat surprised.
Shan Shan's appearance couldn't be called outstanding, but she was the girl-next-door type. Shouldn't a girl like her be very popular with boys?
Yet her Talent was actually Little Transparent.
This Talent was simply incredible.
"Doesn't this Talent affect your life?" Chu He asked.
"Brother Chu He, have you forgotten that I only became a Player last night?" Shan Shan chuckled.
Chu He slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly. "Sorry, I forgot."
Shan Shan checked the time, stuffed two Baozi into her mouth, and said indistinctly, "Brother Chu He, it's getting late, I have to go to school."
"That's right, it's getting late, you should go to school for class," Chu He replied.
"Brother Chu He, I'm not a student, I teach high school at the First High School."
"See you next time, bye!" Shan Shan waved her hand and walked quickly out of the breakfast shop.
"She's actually a high school teacher?" Chu He was somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected such a young girl like Shan Shan to be a high school teacher.
He shook his head with a smile and continued eating.
After breakfast, Chu He took a walk on the street for a while before returning home to start his livestream.
..
For the next three consecutive days.
Chu He's daily routine remained the same.
Waking up early to eat breakfast, taking a walk, then starting his livestream, and resting at night.
However, during these next three days, he didn't run into Shan Shan again while eating breakfast.
Tonight, after Chu He ended his stream and had just come out of the bathroom after a shower, he heard his wristwatch emit a 'ding-ding' sound.
"It's finally here!"
Chu He said excitedly as he saw the 3D Game Mission bar emerge from his wristwatch.
For others, every Mist Game was a struggle on the Edge of life and death.
But for Chu He, he was eager to participate in the Mist Game.
The threat from Li Yi's family made him very uneasy.
Only by becoming as strong as possible would he have the Strength to resist when Li Yi's family came for Retaliation.

【Refusing to proceed with the game will cost 500 Mist Coins】
"Has the cost of Mist Coins required to refuse an E-rank game also increased?" Chu He muttered.
But for him, it didn't matter how many Mist Coins it cost to refuse the game.
He wasn't going to refuse anyway.
He immediately confirmed his participation in the game.
【Teleporting...】
【10...】
【9...】
Seeing the countdown before his eyes, Chu He was stunned for a moment.
Then he hurriedly rushed to the bedroom to put on his top and shorts. As for shoes, he didn't have time to change, so he just wore a pair of sandals.
The ten-second countdown passed quickly.
Chu He saw his body gradually disappearing.
When he came to his senses, he found himself in a desolate town.
The town under the night sky appeared exceptionally quiet.
The buildings in the town were covered in green vines, and there were many mycelium squirming on the ground, looking very disgusting.
The street behind him was shrouded by a Red Light Screen, and the town was surrounded by thick mist, but this time there was no black mist inside the town.
"Looking at your attire, it seems you don't know the rule that E-rank games have a ten-second teleportation time."
"Did you just finish your Promotion Match and rank up to E?"
Chu He heard footsteps approaching from behind and turned his head to look.
Three men and one woman were walking toward him.
The person speaking was walking in the center; he was wearing a black suit, had a crew cut, and a scar on his left cheek. He looked at Chu He and asked with a smile.
Chu He didn't answer, instead staring at the four of them.
Judging by the way the four of them were walking, Chu He felt that they must know each other.
This was going to be tricky.
In a five-person team game, he was all by himself; if they had ill intentions toward him, that would be troublesome.
Seeing Chu He's vigilant expression, the scar man laughed. "No need to be so nervous."
"Since you've reached E-rank, you should know about the existence of the Blood Alliance."
"The four of us are reserve members of a Blood Alliance called Crow."
"How about it? Are you interested in joining our Blood Alliance and becoming a reserve member?"
Blood Alliance reserve member?
Chu He guessed this was likely similar to a probationary member of a Blood Alliance.
However, he was planning to create his own Blood Alliance, so he had no interest in joining someone else's.
"Sorry, I don't plan on joining a Blood Alliance for the time being," Chu He smiled.
"No problem."
"But once you witness our strength, I think you'll change your mind."
"For this game, just follow us. You don't have to do anything; we'll carry you to clear the game," the scar man said, full of confidence.
