Chapter 3: Village Chief
One particularly notable selling point VRMMORPGs had, was that they boasted beautiful and lifelike vistas. Shen Jingbin admired the unique scenery here which no longer existed in real life as she aimlessly wandered about.
Drifting along, she unknowingly reached the boundary of the novice village.
As she'd expected, the novice village that she was at was situated along the borders of the Celestial and Human races. Behind the novice village was a mountain that towered over the clouds. The mountain itself had a verdant and lush forest, and a single glance at it was enough for others to determine that it was out of the ordinary.
Shen Jingbin immediately made up her mind and set off for the mountain.
Likely, no one else would be senseless enough to climb a mountain instead of leveling up. The winding trail up the mountain only persisted for a short distance before it was replaced with weeds.
Since the trail stopped there, there was no need for her to continue going forward. In the instant she turned around and started to make her way back, a white streak suddenly flashed past the corner of her eye.
What was that?
Shen Jingbin hurriedly focused her attention in the direction the white streak went in.
There, she saw a white creature that looked like a rabbit, but wasn't quite one. It had run into the thick and solid trunk of an ancient tree before wordlessly collapsing onto the ground, its stocky hind legs continuing to unconsciously twitch.
Was this the real life version of “idly waiting for an opportunity”? 1
She was left dumbstruck at the sight of this, only reacting after several seconds had pa.s.sed. Walking over, she had a flabbergasted look on her face. Then, bending down, she picked up this object that had knocked itself out.
The system's voice rang out in her mind the second she touched it, "Congratulations, you have obtained a 'dwarf-eared rabbit'. Hint: the dwarf-eared rabbit is native to the Celestial domain, bring it to the Village Chief for inspection."
Shen Jingbin lowered her head and looked at the object in her hand. She realized it really was a ‘dwarf-eared’ rabbit. Its ears were so short it didn't look a single bit like a rabbit. Sure enough, it really was part of the Celestial domain, even its rabbits had such a unique appearance.
