Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Searching for Initial Supplies

"Thick-skinned, is this the prerequisite skill for Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt? I have an MMP in my heart, I don't know if I should say it or not!" Song Jian muttered, closing the skill bar, looking at the words "thick-skinned" and feeling a little nervous;

"Next, please open the inventory!" The system's voice sounded unhurriedly;

Mentally chanting, a sixteen-square-grid inventory appeared before his eyes, with a small blue package in the first square;

"Huh, weird, why is this square's border gold?" Song Jian didn't notice the blue package at first, but looked at the last square instead;

Of the sixteen squares in the inventory, the other fifteen squares had gray borders, while the last square had a golden border - very special;

"The initial inventory has sixteen squares, each capable of holding one type of item. Items of the same quality can be stacked, and items stored in the inventory do not take into account volume and weight!" The system voice explained, sounding like a recording;

"I'm asking, what is this gold square for?" Song Jian continued to ask;

"Explore the remaining game content on your own in the game!" The system replied;

Song Jian: "…, do you know how cocky you are, Mr. Designer?"

With no other choice, Song Jian could only focus on the blue package in the first square;

Soon, a line of red words appeared before Song Jian's eyes;

"This newbie package can only be used when the player reaches level 1!"

"What the heck, newbie packages should be usable when we enter the game, don't lie to me, I'm not that inexperienced in games!" Song Jian shouted, his face full of disbelief;

"Complete the newbie tutorial, and your level will reach 1. Then you can open the newbie package and receive a random gift!" The system voice explained;

"Fine, go on, go on!" Song Jian was helpless, this felt like a master being forced to go backto Novice Village;

"Next, you need to explore the entire room and acquire initial resources!" The system voice said;

"Searching, I like that!" Song Jian nodded, looking around the entire room;

It was a three-bedroom, two-living room house. Song Jian had just stepped out of one of the bedrooms and was now standing in its living room. After glancing around the living room which resembled an ordinary family's, he noticed simple decorations, a cloth sofa set, a TV cabinet, a 50-inch curved LCD TV hanging on the wall, and a chandelier above him;

A closer look at the furniture in the living room revealed its valuable craftsmanship, but it was in complete disrepair. The lake surface LCD TV even had a large hole in it, and the cloth sofa had been scratched by something and was full of claw marks, revealing the stuffing inside;

All the furniture surfaces were covered in a layer of dust, suggesting that the house hadn't been lived in for several years;

"Do you want me to search for junk in this junked-up room?" Song Jian looked around and couldn't help but complain;

The room was so old and run-down that it seemed as if it had been robbed, or rather, abandoned for decades after the robbery. He couldn't imagine what he could find in a place like this;

However, reality slapped Song Jian hard in the face. Just a casual pull of the drawer under the TV cabinet revealed a shimmering white object to his eyes;

Upon closer inspection, Song Jian's face changed, and he backed away two steps, looking frightened;

"How can there be a handgun in here?" Song Jian shouted;

All around them was silence, not a single sound. Song Jian mentally activated his personal attributes, and a semi-transparent window appeared before him. Seeing the window, Song Jian finally patted his chest, his after-fear evident, and muttered: "It's just a game, it's just a game!"

The game was too realistic, always causing Song Jian to forget that he was in a game. When he saw the cold weapon in the drawer, his first reaction wasn't joy, but fear;

Raised during peaceful times, experiencing firearms for the first time, children would always feel a heart-pounding horror when faced with this sort of easily life-taking plaything;

In his memory, besides the police, only those bad guys would have such toys.

Song Jian took a deep breath, tightly gripping the cold, metallic glowing handgun in the drawer and lifting it out;

"It's so heavy!" Song Jian frowned, his first impression of the handgun. Despite its small size, he couldn't lift it with one hand and had to use both to hold it firmly and aim it correctly;

The moment Song Jian touched the handgun, the initially floating personal attribute window suddenly disappeared, replaced by an item attribute window;

A 3D model of the handgun was exquisitely displayed in the center of the screen with empty slots on the front, top, and bottom, as well as rows of attribute descriptions on the side;

Equipment name: P18C Fully Automatic Handgun

Rarity: White

Attack power: Ranged damage 6-13,

Attachable devices: Scope attachment, pistol front attachment, pistol magazine attachment

Optimal range (able to inflict maximum attack power of 13 points): 18 meters

Effective range (able to inflict at least minimal damage to an enemy): 65 meters

Weight: 1.2 kg

Total gun length: 186 mm

Magazine capacity: 7 rounds (currently loaded with 5 rounds)

Equipment usage requirements: Strength must be at least 5 points, Stamina must be at least 4 points

Can it be taken out of the game: No

Combat points of the equipment: 5

Equipment description: Small and powerful, this equipment can switch between semi-automatic and automatic firing modes. Take note, this equipment has a high rate of fire—when set to automatic, it can empty an entire magazine of regular ammunition within a second;

"It actually requires a strength of 5 points or more, no wonder I can't lift it with one hand." Song Jian thought to himself; it seems that even if players don't meet the equipment requirements, they can still pick up items in this game. However, the actual effect of using it would only be known to god.

Beneath the item attribute description was a red system reminder;

System: This item requires a strength of 5 points or more for efficient use. If strength is not met, there is a high probability of usage difficulty. If stamina is not met, using this item may cause significant self-injury;

Song Jian's face turned ugly. His strength attribute was too lousy, making it impossible to smoothly use even a handgun. He couldn't lift it with one hand and needed both hands to use it;

Based on the system's suggestion, if the equipment requirements aren't met and the strength attribute doesn't reach 5 points, it's likely challenging to aim and hit distant objects, as the accuracy simply cannot be guaranteed.

He opened the magazine and found five bullets. Song Jian didn't know what they could do, but after reinserting the magazine, he placed the handgun in his inventory and continued searching for other supplies.
