Chapter 2: Newborn Otherworldly Devil
Before Chen Xiyi could react, he saw the shimmering red dot coming towards him.
As a player, Chen Xiyi’s location on the player map was indicated by a gold dot, something he had studied before. And that red dot was definitely an unknown creature.
“Oh crap, a red name. Hold on, let’s talk things out.”
Chen Xiyi naturally saw what that red dot was—it was a terrifying black mist with blood-red light floating within.
Of course, that wasn’t the main point. The focus was on the fact that within the black mist was something familiar to Chen Xiyi—a creature with a blood-red name tag.
[Newborn Otherworldly Devil: HP 100%, Status: Endless Slaughter]
An awkward thing was that as soon as he saw what the Otherworldly Devil was, it killed him with a single move.
The gap between the two was so large that Chen Xiyi felt a bit insecure, not understanding what had happened until he died and various materials scattered on the ground, all suspended in mid-air.
[You were killed by the Newborn Otherworldly Devil, dropped items: 1 unit of wood, 1 cow, 2 chicken eggs, 3 wheat]
Looking at the frozen world in front of him, the monochrome tones, and the decreasing countdown, Chen Xiyi understood that he was in the process of respawning.
“Although it’s very unscientific, it seems quite normal for players to respawn after death.” Chen Xiyi had lingering fears, not knowing he had this function. Who would deliberately get themselves killed anyway?
“And after I die, the world seems to freeze, and I have to wait for my revival to continue?”
“So, this is a single-player sandbox game, right? Then why did you give me an inbox for messaging, let’s just play.”
“But, I was actually killed instantly by a Newborn Otherworldly Devil.”
[Homeowner: Chen Xiyi]
[Occupation: Player]
[HP: 100%]
[Energy: 100%]
[Satiety: 100/100]
No attack, no defense, not even other attributes—fortunately, Chen Xiyi had a 3D figurine in this sandbox game called “Home” equipped with a full set of wooden gear that he had crafted, just that he didn’t have it with him. After all, it had been peaceful for the past ten years, with no respawning of mobs. He naturally attributed the monster spawn to the fact that the incomplete game hadn’t implemented that part.
He never expected that a Newborn Otherworldly Devil would appear today.
Therefore, Chen Xiyi speculated that perhaps the game itself wouldn’t spawn monsters, and this Newborn Otherworldly Devil had come from outside.
Otherwise, why call it “newborn”?
[Resurrect?]
Chen Xiyi naturally chose to resurrect upon seeing the sudden message.
After confirming, Chen Xiyi’s figure appeared on the bed in his two-story wooden house, and time in the entire world began to flow again.
The Newborn Otherworldly Devil once again made its way towards Chen Xiyi.
Watching the red dot approaching on the map, Chen Xiyi quickly got up and grabbed a life-sized wooden figurine from the corner of his room.
This wasn’t just any wooden figurine but a set of armor made of wooden helm, wooden armor, wooden shield, as well as wooden spear, wooden bow, and other weapons combined to make a figurine.
However, the speed of the Newborn Otherworldly Devil was too fast; in the blink of an eye, it had charged up to the second floor, entered Chen Xiyi’s bedroom through the window.
Chen Xiyi didn’t have time to equip all the armor and weapons. The Otherworldly Devil had already pounced.
Therefore, he could only equip the wooden spear and thrust it towards the opponent.
【You caused 3% damage to the Newborn Otherworldly Devil with your wooden spear】
【You were killed by the Newborn Otherworldly Devil, dropped: Wooden Helmet, Unit of Weeds, 3 Sheep】
“Ah, this.”
Chen Xiyi didn’t feel anything about his death, it didn’t hurt at all. He closed his eyes, and the world turned black and white with a countdown to resurrection.
“This wave of bad luck, the only thing left is the spear still in my possession. Armor and weapons are gone.”
“It seems like there’s still a fight to be had.”
Although he died again, the Otherworldly Devil also lost 3% of its health.
【Wooden Spear】
【Durability: 10/10】
【Damage: 3】
“Causing 3 damage points, which resulted in a 3% drop in the opponent’s health. Is it because the opponent lacks corresponding defense or due to its new birth?”
Doubtful about these matters, Chen Xiyi felt that the player panel was just for entertainment. This was much more relaxed than merely being for reference. The former was just for fun, while the latter could also be consulted.
Quickly putting these thoughts aside, based on this damage, he only needed to attack the Otherworldly Devil 33 more times to defeat it.
As a player, unable to die, and since this was a monster, over so many years, it had finally brought rare changes to this world called “home,” which was actually more like a box.
In the calm mind of Chen Xiyi, a sand game player, ripples emerged.
【You have been resurrected】
【You caused 3% damage to the Newborn Otherworldly Devil with your wooden spear】
【You were killed by the Newborn Otherworldly Devil, dropped:】
【Log:】
With each death of Chen Xiyi, 3% of the Otherworldly Devil’s life would fade. And every time he resurrected, Chen Xiyi reflected on himself.
“If I had equipped all the armor and weapons on me before, without considering the trouble of carrying them, would I, with a full set of armor and weapons, be able to solo this Newborn Otherworldly Devil?”
“Probably not. The Otherworldly Devil’s speed is too fast. Without the temporary time difference during resurrection, I wouldn’t be able to hit it. And with its attack power, I would find it hard to defend against.”
“The most likely scenario is to slowly wear it down through resurrection.”
Chen Xiyi was not a city’s King of Soldiers or a hereditary martial artist. He was just an ordinary sandbox farming player, basically powerless.
Moreover, the Otherworldly Devil couldn’t be dealt with by a normal person. As an ordinary person, Chen Xiyi was naturally not an opponent.
Watching the Otherworldly Devil’s health steadily decreasing, excitement appeared on Chen Xiyi’s face. This was the first small monster he had killed.
When Chen Xiyi’s wooden spear penetrated the cloud on the Otherworldly Devil’s body, clearing the final 1% health bar, the Otherworldly Devil disintegrated, dropping items that were automatically sucked into Chen Xiyi’s body.
“As long as you dare to show your health bar, I have no fear.”
【You have killed the Otherworldly Devil, gained a new module: Spiritual Essence of History, obtained new function: Reincarnation, acquired costume: Qingxu Sect Chief Disciple】
