At this moment, the attributes and level on the panel had been reset.
But the prominent words 'Dispossess' in the Talent section made an uncontrollable excitement surface in Bai Ge's eyes.
One must know that at present, deep gloom had only just begun its internal testing, and if he remembered correctly, it was still the 1.1.0 Origin version.
However, the 'Racial Talent' function was only unlocked after the 3.4.2 Despair World version was released.
"A version Talent from twelve years later..."
Bai Ge tremblingly opened the Talent's information description.
[Dispossess LV.1]: After killing any living creature, 1% of its total attributes will be permanently fed back to your own attributes.
"Sure enough!"
This was the racial Talent of the 'Carbon-based Sapient' race after the 3.4.2 Despair World was opened.
deep gloom was like a massive furnace, constantly devouring different worlds.
In the later stages, various powerful creatures would become increasingly common, and their overall strength would generally far exceed that of humans.
So, the deep gloom rules, perhaps to balance things out, or perhaps to compensate for the increasingly weak humans, later introduced this Talent.
"If this Talent can be used in the current version..."
A glint of ambition appeared in Bai Ge's eyes.
The monsters in the early stages of deep gloom were not as difficult to kill as those in the later stages. If this Talent could take effect, he was certain that in the early stages of deep gloom, his attributes would, over time, far surpass those of others.
Reborn into this life, he was unwilling to live as cautiously as he did in his previous life.
Even if he couldn't change the general trend of history, his own fate this time must be in his own hands!
With this thought, Bai Ge no longer hesitated.
He found a shared bicycle from within the school and rode towards outside the campus.
The wheels spun rapidly, mirroring Bai Ge's somewhat accelerated heartbeat at this moment.
Today was June 17th, and in two days, the school would be on summer vacation.
However, even if there wasn't a vacation, Bai Ge didn't plan to return to school.
As a Reborn Person, Bai Ge knew all too well how important the early stages of deep gloom were.
One step ahead, always ahead.
In any game, the pioneers clear the way, and others follow.
Bai Ge naturally understood this principle.
So, the most urgent task was to quickly get an internal test game pod.
After entering deep gloom, with his memories from his previous life, Bai Ge believed that no one could stop his rise in this life.
The wind whistled past his ears. At this moment, Bai Ge pedaled the bicycle while rapidly searching through his memories.
deep gloom truly entered people's sight after its public beta.
But at this time, deep gloom was merely an unknown VR game that had just entered the market.
Very few people knew about it.
This also meant that there weren't many merchants or shops selling this game pod on the market yet.
If he wanted to buy one, he could only go to a large game market.
Thinking of this, the location of a large entertainment plaza near the school quickly surfaced in Bai Ge's mind.
The next second, he rode towards the direction in his memory.
---
Xinghe Plaza.
After hastily parking his bike, Bai Ge headed straight for the game area.
After searching for a full half an hour, Bai Ge finally found the last remaining game pod in an inconspicuous shop.
At this time, deep gloom was still too niche, lacking market recognition, so the supply was quite scarce.
Therefore, upon finding it, Bai Ge didn't haggle over the price and immediately decided to buy it for over thirty thousand yuan.
Seeing Bai Ge's decisiveness, the shop owner promised to deliver it to his home later.
After paying and leaving his address, Bai Ge hurried home.
Kunpeng Residential Area.
Upon returning home, Bai Ge froze as soon as he entered the door.
Looking at the familiar furnishings in the room, his eyes became a little red in a trance.
Distant memories instantly flooded his mind. In his previous life, it was after selling this old house that he had enough money to buy a game pod.
But at that time, deep gloom had already begun to invade reality. As some monsters gradually appeared in reality, and various videos on the internet that subverted human cognition continued to ferment.
People quickly learned the source of these monsters through various channels - deep gloom.
Later, with the massive influx of humans, people gradually realized the future trend.
As a result, real-world currency rapidly depreciated, followed by a sharp drop in housing prices.
And the money Bai Ge got after selling his house was just enough to buy a game pod at that time.
Thinking of this, a struggle appeared in Bai Ge's eyes.
But soon, the struggle in his eyes gradually turned into determination.
In this life, he still decided to sell the house.
According to the development of his previous life, deep gloom would begin to gradually reflect reality in August. From now on, there was less than a month and a half left.
At that time, humans all over the world would flood into deep gloom.
Fixed assets, along with money, would rapidly depreciate until the currency within deep gloom completely replaced the purchasing power of money.
However, essential goods like food would become increasingly scarce.
So, it was better to sell it now while housing prices hadn't fallen yet.
Cashing out now had far more purchasing power than a month later.
Moreover, selling a house was not an overnight process, so the sooner the better.
No sooner said than done.
The room was slightly messy at the moment. Bai Ge first tidied it up simply, then took a few serious photos of the house and posted the information online.
However, the price he listed was 20% lower than the average price for this area, all to sell it quickly and cash out.
After doing all this, Bai Ge took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator, drank a few sips, and sat on the sofa, deep in thought.
"My father's compensation is still over 2.8 million yuan, plus this house, I will have about 5 million yuan in usable funds."
Bai Ge's eyes flickered.
After the old house was sold, he planned to rent a large courtyard or villa in the suburbs of North of the River.
"Dong dong dong..."
A sudden knock on the door interrupted Bai Ge's thoughts.
After coming back to his senses, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in Bai Ge's eyes.
Sure enough, after opening the door, two deliverymen were standing there, carrying a box the size of a double-door refrigerator.
After a brief exchange, Bai Ge opened the box and inspected it.
Only after confirming there was no damage did he sign the delivery receipt.
The two deliverymen carried the box into Bai Ge's bedroom and then left.
After locking the door, Bai Ge eagerly rushed into the bedroom.
Looking at the game pod in front of him, Bai Ge's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
But this emotion didn't last long. The next second, he lay straight into the game pod.
He skillfully attached the neural sensors to various parts of his body as instructed.
After taking a deep breath, he slowly put on the neural helmet.
A familiar sense of dizziness followed. When Bai Ge opened his eyes again, a different scene met his gaze.
"deep gloom is eternal; everything begins and ends with it..."
The familiar game background introduction sounded in his ears, but what met his eyes was a complete darkness.
The introductory voice continued to sound in his ears, but the profound darkness before him remained unchanged.
This was the promotional introduction at the beginning of deep gloom.
In his previous life, before deep gloom invaded reality, it was once criticized by players.
Many people believed that this abstract promotion was a developer's pretentious attempt to save money.
Some even joked that buying a game pod was just to experience the first-person perspective of a blind person.
However, this seemingly absurd and worthless promotion did not make Bai Ge show any impatience.
Instead, there was a peculiar anticipation in his eyes.
Because he knew that behind this uninspiring background introduction actually hid a huge 'surprise'.
In his previous life, no one could endure the sense of isolation and dullness brought by prolonged darkness.
Everyone would subconsciously choose to skip this background promotion; it was a biological instinct.
But it wasn't until an old guy fell asleep during the opening promotion that, upon waking up, he found a selection interface had appeared before him.
And this eccentric old guy later became a big shot, all thanks to the special reward from that selection interface that appeared after watching the opening promotion.
The entire background promotion lasted for more than 6 hours.
But Bai Ge quietly listened to the system introduction sound that kept coming from his ears.
With his experience from his previous life, he had long been accustomed to this dark environment.
After 6 hours, at the sound of an ending tone, Bai Ge's eyes gradually brightened.
[Hint: You have successfully completed the unique hidden easter egg 'Gaze', gaining a selection privilege.]
Subsequently, a black background selection interface appeared before Bai Ge's eyes.
[Specialty], [Skill], [Attribute]
Looking at the options before him, Bai Ge's eyes showed an excited expression of 'it really is so'.
Then he unhesitatingly chose Specialty.
The next moment, a system prompt sounded.
[Hint: Obtained 'Unique' Specialty 'Calamity Affinity']
As the system prompt ended, the selection interface before Bai Ge disappeared.
At this moment, Bai Ge's eyes held an uncontrollable excitement.
One must know that Specialties were extremely rare in the early stages, and even unlocking them required an exceptionally precious item called a "Soul Jade."
Bai Ge's previous Specialty was only painstakingly unlocked after four years of hard work, a common Specialty.
And the Specialty he had just acquired, named 'Calamity Affinity', was actually unique.
This characteristic, as the name suggests, meant it was one of a kind, with no duplicates.
However, Bai Ge quickly recovered his composure from the excitement and then began the character creation process.
"Respected 99th internal test player, hello. Please name your character."
deep gloom did not have a character customization function; the character's appearance was 100% restored to the player's real-life appearance, but players could choose to hide their appearance after entering the game.
A profound look appeared in Bai Ge's eyes. It seemed now that the game's invasion of reality was not without warning.
"White God of Nothingness."
The next second, he unhesitatingly chose the name from his previous life.
"Please wait."
"Detecting current version as 1.1.0 Origin. You are about to enter Nest City No. 01."
"Detecting that you are among the first hundred players to enter the Deep Gloom World, you will be granted an additional 5 free attribute points."
"Detecting that you are among the first hundred players to enter the Deep Gloom World, you will receive the title 'Observer'."
A hint of excitement appeared in Bai Ge's eyes.
Sure enough, there was a reason behind the general strength of internal test players; this starting reward was quite overpowering in the early stages.
Don't underestimate these 5 attribute points, especially at the start.
Because deep gloom only gave one free attribute point per level, 5 points meant directly being 5 levels ahead of others.
If the points were allocated well, it meant faster and more efficient leveling.
As for the other title, 'Observer', it could assist players in obtaining information and was also a very difficult special reward to acquire.
Soon, the familiar dizziness attack came again.
When Bai Ge opened his eyes again, a somewhat decaying scent wafted over him.
Looking at the messy and crowded streets before him, and the sour smell of oil mixed with sweat that occasionally wafted over, Bai Ge subconsciously frowned.
In his previous life, during the public beta, he was born in a Beginner Village (newbie village) with a style similar to a Chinese rural town.
But looking at the towering, peculiar buildings not far in front of him, a hint of emotion appeared in Bai Ge's eyes.
"Nest City No. 01? It's indeed vastly different from the public beta."
The scale of this birthplace alone was comparable to some main cities during the public beta in his previous life.
However, Bai Ge then thought of something, and at the same time, a glimmer of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
The next moment, he took a deep breath and somewhat nervously opened the game panel.
At the same time, he kept muttering in a low voice: "Please don't disappoint me!"
Soon, a dark blue transparent light screen appeared before his eyes.

But at this moment, Bai Ge's attention was instead focused on the side of the blue panel.
Because there was also a light black screen there.
"It really is two panels!!"

---
The two panels, one black and one blue, appearing before his eyes, made Bai Ge incredibly excited.
The dark blue panel was for the 1.1.0 Origin version, which was the current internal test version of the game.
The light black one was for the 3.4.2 Despair World version after Bai Ge's rebirth; it was a panel from twelve years later.
The blue corresponded to within the game.
And the black corresponded to reality.
