Lu Ming snapped back to reality.
When he realized that his login location was at the Sky Abyss world’s newbie vilge number 1947, Moonfall Town, he instantly sensed something was off.
Opening the status panel, he indeed found the issue...

[Description: A new recruit in Sky Abyss, remember the ws of this world: survival of the fittest...]
"Why am I back to level 1?!" Lu Ming frowned slightly. Could it be that durih, only his mind was brought over, leaving his body behind?
Of course, it wasn't uable. After all, pared to the body, the at was the most important. Starting anew could actually make up for many perma enhas missed in the previous life due to ck of strength, thus raising the ceiling!
And with this ten-star at in hand. I life, it took five years to reach level 200, but Lu Ming was fident he could achieve it within a year this time, maybe even sooner!
Just then, the system's voice sounded.
[Ding~ Based on your at's talent characteristics, the system reends the Mage css for you!]
Lu Ming couldn't help but shake his head. Pying a Mage with such overpowered talents? That would be like feeding a Tibetan mastiff with garbage!
Thus, Lu Ming decisively made his choice among the eight major csses: Mage, Summoner, Priest, Trickster, Archer, Assassin, Knight, and Warrior— Trickster!
The Trickster's specialty is creating formations to enhance allies within the area or weaken enemies.
Indeed, it's a css with no output, no tankiness, extremely reliant on teammates, with a historical employment rate of only 0.71%, only known as a css that "not even a dog would py."
If he only had the [prehensive Amplification] talent that enhances skill effects tenfold, Lu Ming's T1 choice would undoubtedly be Mage.
But! The [Soul Ssh] talent instantly elevated the Trickster css from the gutter to TOP level! What kind of se would it be to apply a tenfold amplified enha skill to an army of Undead Warriors?
Unimaginable!
After choosing the Trickster css, Lu Ming opehe Sky Abyss trading house. Because he realized: even with the world's number oar qualification at, the early stages without equipment or skills would be extremely tough!
After some searg, his eyes finally locked onto an F-grade [Trickster Skill Scroll]. Priced at 1999, it was already the cheapest skill scroll irading house.
And Lu Ming's WeChat at had 2112.8 yua. This was the sary the inal owner earned from w at a café st month. It was inally inteo pay the rent that had been overdue for three months.
But now, there was no choice. Lu Ming bought the skill scroll and the 100 yuan on a level 1 Trickster on.
After pg the order with the delivery at, Lu Ming soon received two emails. Extrag the emails, he obtaihe skill scroll and equipment.
[War Tread] (Trickster · F-grade Skill Scroll)
[Description: After use, you learn the skill War Tread Lv1 (releases a circur war formation with a 50-yard radius, granting all allied targets within the formation a (Trickster 10% Attack Power + 3) attack power bonus, sting 15 seds)]
[Mana ption: 3 Mana Points to activate, 1 Mana Point per sed thereafter]
[Cooldown: 50 seds]
[Note: Effects of the same type of formation ot stack]
Lu Ming immediately crushed the scroll and learhe skill.
Uhe tenfold enha of the [prehensive Amplification] talent, the effective range of War Tread expanded from a 50-yard radius to a 500-yard radius! The attack bonus for allies within the range increased from Trickster 10% Attack Power + 3 to 100% Attack Power + 30!
The duratioended from 15 seds to 150 seds, perfectly c the 50-sed skill cooldown! Which means, as long as he had enough Mana, Lu Ming could keep War Tread active permaly!
, Lu Ming looked at the on he bought for 100 yuan.
[Rusty Iron Sword] (Whiteboard)
[Physical Attack: +3]
[Css Requirement: Trickster, Warrior]
[Level Requirement: 1]
[Durability: 7/10]
[Description: Although it looks shabby, it still add some damage for you...]
If not for the worn durability, acc to Sky Abyss's prices, 100 yuan wouldn't be enough to buy a on, even a level 1 whiteboard on!
Equipping the iron sword immediately increased his attack from 3 to 6.
Looking at the remaining 13.8 yuan in his WeChat bance, Lu Ming couldn't help but be thankful: "At least it's enough for a bowl of roast duoodles!"
As the saying goes, you 't catch wolves without sacrifig the child.
Though the Sky Abyss world is fraught with danger, it's also filled with opportunities. With this ten-star qualification at, money would no longer be a distant dream but something Lu Ming could easily obtain!
In his previous life, Lu Ming had been poor for half his life and was truly afraid of poverty. He no longer wao sleep in a 300-yuan-a-month rental room the size of a bathroom! He no longer wao live on two pin steamed buns for breakfast, bread for lunch, and instant noodles for dinner without even adding a sausage!
He wao make money!
He wao live well!
Of course, having lived another life, Lu Ming knew eveer: in the Sky Abyss world, strength is more important than money!
In his previous life, Lu Ming was schemed against by Ye Ling'er because he had her money nor strength, and at that moment, he had no power to resist, only helplessly howling.
In this life.
"Power, money, status, I want them all!"
Lu Ming khat with his current level and strength, he couldn't possibly pete with Ye Ling'er, who was already over level 180. Not to mention the person behind Ye Ling'er, who threatened her to betray Lu Ming and tried to seize the Scroll of Deification from him.
Acc to Ye Lihis person must be extremely powerful, with a high status and position i Xia. So to seek revenge, Lu Ming must first bee stronger! And it was also a ce to bide his time and iigate who was maniputing everything and causing his death!
Thus, after a round in Moonfall Town, Lu Ming accepted a quest from Dick, the bar's security guard.
[Who Stole the Ring?] (Normal Quest)
[Difficulty Index: 10]
[Description: Damn spider stole the ring Dick had saved up for half a year to buy, intending to propose to his girlfriend. Dick is depressed because of this; please go to the Shadow Forest, hunt Jungle Spiders (0/10), arieve the ring for Dick (0/1)]
[Quest Time: 9 hours 59 minutes]
[Quest Reward: Experience Points +50, Copper s +5, very small ce of Whiteboard Equipment +1]
***
Following the map's guidance, he headed to the 1-5 level wild area, Shadow Forest, located north of Moonfall Town.
Passing through the town's nate, he saw a rge crowd of pyers, young and old, gathered there. Among them were newly registered level 1 newers aerans already ieens. Various shouts and calls echoed tinuously.
"Ten-year veteran, City Ninth Battle Team [Heavenly Pace] recruiting newers! Oar qualifiembers enjoy a starting sary of five thousand plus ission, five insurances and one fund, four days off a month, easily earning over ten thousand a month!"
"Anyone need power leveling? Full set of Bck Iron Equipment, level 10 Sed Transition Warrior online power leveling! Newer dist only 50 yuan per huarao reach level 4 in a day! Referrals and girls get a 10% dist!"
"Any newers want to team up for the level 2 Scorpio? Need one more frontliner, starting soon!"
"8-10 level dungeon [Scarlet Zoeam looking for members! Level 8 Archer seeking team, has Bck Iron on!"
...
Because this is a world of real death, so those veteraarget newers without fixed teams, exploiting their fear of venturing out alone, and try to lure them in.
As soon as Lu Ming arrived at the gate, several veteran pyers surrounded him, eagerly promoting themselves. It almost made Lu Ming feel like he was back at a bus station, fag a group of seasoned drivers.
Of course, while newers are easy to fool, Lu Ming, a veteran who had spent five years in the Sky Abyss world, was not so easily swayed!
Emerging from the bustling Moonfall Town, Lu Miured into the wilderness, alone.
