My Ability Is Role-playing

Zhu Ding was enveloped in darkness.

In his field of vision, only a string of text and a selection panel emitted a faint glow.

"All Heavens OL Player’s Notice."

[Agree to accept all terms and enter the game.]

[Disagree, exit the game.]

After communicating with Grass Hut Academy members, although Zhu Ding was mentally prepared and somewhat familiar with the tricks of Earth’s online games, he still felt extremely displeased after reading through this "Notice" from start to finish.

The entire text could roughly be summarized in one sentence—"Dear player, I’m your daddy."

Disagree?

Fine, then you might as well wash up and go to sleep instead of playing this game.

Zhu Ding pinched his nose and used his mind to press the first option.

[Please choose a game mode.]

[1. True body proportionate cloning insertion, immersive experience! (In this mode, the player’s cultivation potential in reality might improve—i.e., the experience required to increase skills, bloodline, divine techniques, and talent level may decrease)]

[2. On-site character creation, parallel dimension experience, play as a completely different self! (In this mode, the full game experience might be unavailable)]

It seemed different from the previous "Notice" which desperately wanted to make players sign an unequal contract, but in reality, there was no difference.

Which player would want to be inferior in a game?

Even if there were such special interests, choosing the immersive experience mode might enhance one’s cultivation potential in reality, which is a free advantage.

Who could resist the charm of something for free?

So...

What more is there to say?

Just brainlessly choose the first one!

As soon as Zhu Ding made his choice, he felt the world swirling around him as if an invisible force was dragging him, and a strong feeling of dizziness surged in his heart.

Swish!

When his senses returned, Zhu Ding found himself in a strange world.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully entering the world of "All Heavens OL"!]

[The auxiliary system detects your bond with the "Grass Hut Academy" guild and has specially assigned you roles.]

[Your current main world is "Glory Continent."]

Zhu Ding slightly squinted as he glanced around.

The sky was a clear blue without a cloud in sight, and fifty steps away, there was a pond.

A gentle breeze blew, leaving the water undisturbed.

"The so-called Glory Continent doesn’t belong to the Main Universe."

Although Zhu Ding had lost all his original divine techniques and was even trapped in a mortal body, his rank was not taken away, and he retained some passive instincts: "This is a small world in the Endless Plane."

"Bloodlines, battle steeds, fighting spirit."

"Family crest, honor, heritage."

"Epic tales, war paint, bards, prophecies..."

A list of keywords related to the essence of the Glory Continent surfaced in his mind as if inspired by a sudden insight and flashed with brilliance.

Zhu Ding shook his head, intending to follow Ma Ran’s will for now, taking it step by step, and temporarily cooperating with Zhao Guanlan’s plan to see what the [Profound Immortal] could achieve.

"Since it’s a game, there should be a basic data panel and a tutorial for beginners."

As soon as he finished speaking, a silver-white data panel with dark text appeared before his eyes.

[Beginner Guidance: The basic help command is "All Heavens Assistant," which can be activated either by silently chanting or loudly singing.]

[Enjoy conquering the heavens!]

That’s it?

Zhu Ding pursed his lips and was about to check his attributes when he heard a "splash!"

Not far away, something heavy seemed to have fallen into the lake.

The once-calm lake surface rippled with waves.

"Crap! I can’t swim, help!"

A player with a strange ID on his head was bobbing up and down in the water, struggling desperately, drinking a bellyful of water, yet instead of drowning, he popped out of the water like a frog, holding his breath.

It was only at this moment that Zhu Ding finally got a clear look at the other person’s ID — [Desert Eagle].

"..."

This name carried quite some depth, the divine eagle of the desert, proud and unyielding, solitary and resilient. The player using this name seemed to have an entirely opposite personality trait.

"Hahaha! Awesome!"

The player with the [Desert Eagle] ID scrambled to the shore, rolling and crawling: "Near death, breakthrough at the limit, this is totally main character treatment!"

"Even the ’All Heavens OL’ system acknowledged my new ability!"

He laughed wildly, kneeling on the ground, laughing while spitting out water.

After spitting out all the lake water from his stomach, [Desert Eagle] reached Zhu Ding: "The system prompt says there’s a new ability called [Swimming Level 0] in my skill panel."

"I suddenly feel that even if I go back to Earth, I won’t be a landlubber anymore!"

"Dude, your ID is kinda badass!"

"[Supreme of Destiny]..."

"Damn, this crappy game doesn’t sell rename cards, and it’s soul-bound. If I had known, I would have called myself [Supreme Sand Sculpture]! Just thinking about it feels so cool!"

"You seemed like you were going to save me just now, were you like me before, not knowing how to swim?"

"I’ll tell you this! Swimming is actually super easy, much easier than you think."

"Just pinch your nose and hold your breath, and you’re good to go! As long as you don’t panic, your body will float up by itself!"

After chattering away, [Desert Eagle] suddenly snapped back to reality and smacked his forehead: "Crap, almost forgot the main quest!"

"Time is short, mission is heavy, let’s talk while we walk!"

Zhu Ding didn’t comment, just silently walked towards the west.

While the other person was babbling crazily just now, he had already flipped through the newbie guide and learned about the two main plotlines of the current ’game world’ — leisure, and combat.

The freedom in ’All Heavens OL’ is extremely high; if you think your talent and experience are enough, players can choose to engage in both main plotlines simultaneously.

However, no matter which storyline you choose, the content of the first task remains the same.

Build your own base or join another faction.

The ten thousand players scattered across the Glory Continent were actively speaking in the internal chat channel, and Zhu Ding gathered a lot of information from it.

He now knew that the closest small player gathering place to his coordinates was about seventeen kilometers to the west.

Just a quick walk over.

"Bro... you’re too cool, clearly a master, don’t walk so fast, wait for me!"

[Desert Eagle] followed closely behind, still muttering incessantly.

"My buddies and I came in a party!"

"How about, the three of us team up?"

"More friends, more options, more people, more power, many hands make light work, three cobblers make a Zhuge Liang, right?"

"Whoa damn! How do I feel a bit tired... In reality, I’m Third Rank in ’Burning Martial’, running fifty kilometers is easy on a good day, but in the game, I’ve been nerfed!"

"What’s up with Zhao Guanlan! A game character not even stronger than me in real life?"

Zhu Ding almost couldn’t resist nodding.

Conquering all the worlds, having to take care of both Earth and Cangming Star players thoroughly...

Honestly, he also felt that Zhao Guanlan was not quite up to it.

It was only at this point that Zhu Ding finally recognized the identity of the other person — that [Desert Eagle] was clearly the unlucky guy who got beaten up to a chubbier state in the cafeteria earlier.

The reason he didn’t recognize him immediately was partly because his mind wasn’t on this matter, and partly because...

He was more impressed by [Desert Eagle]’s panda eye state; when the other person wasn’t bruised and swollen, he even felt a bit unfamiliar.

"Ah, playing a game, still having to compete with aliens... maybe that’s what they call competition any place, anytime?"

[Desert Eagle] acted like a schizophrenic, babbling incessantly behind Zhu Ding: "Thinking carefully, actually it doesn’t have to be said like that, Cangming Star people are our allies, we should get along well, right?"

"Thinking about it carefully, for Boss Zhao, we Earthlings are the outsiders. We’re lucky enough he’s willing to bring us along to play."

"Bro, tell me about the culture and customs on the Cangming Star! So when we go there for a trip, we won’t be in the dark, right?"

Just as Zhu Ding was at his wit’s end, wanting to pull out the other’s tongue, a young girl riding a pig came speeding from a distance, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Hahaha finally found my buddies!"

The girl leapt off the wild boar, threw a potato-like plant tuber to her mount, gave player [Desert Eagle] a glance, without lingering for even half a second, quickly focusing on Zhu Ding: "Earthling, Cangming Star person?"

The name above the pig-riding girl’s head glowed in bright sky-blue text — [Zhao Guanlan YYDS].
