Mu Lan and Beng Zeng were practicing the techniques they had learned in the yard, exchanging a few moves with each other.
Mu Lan had never forgotten what Beng Zeng had done for him. It was thanks to Beng Zeng that he had been able to survive. But in this life, Mu Lan was determined to prevent anything bad from happening to Beng Zeng, so he had convinced him to train and grow stronger alongside him.
By the time evening came, Mu Lan and Beng Zeng were worn out from working in the yard. They went inside, took a shower, and went straight to bed.
At 5 a.m., the alarm went off, and they got up, washed their faces, ate breakfast, and headed to the park for a 10-kilometer run. As they started running, they noticed they weren't getting tired as quickly as they had the day before. Thanks to the techniques they had been practicing, they already felt stronger after just one day. Their energy had increased compared to yesterday, and exercising was finally starting to make them feel good.
While running, they didn't forget to talk about the game. "Mu, there's only one day left until the game launches. We'll finally be able to play."
Mu Lan felt incredibly happy that he could talk to Beng Zeng about all this. If he had known that cracking that guy's head would send him back in time, he would've done it a long time ago. All these miracles had given him a second chance.
After finishing their run, they went back home, showered, and then headed off to school. They were walking with newfound confidence, a far cry from how they had been before. They were like an unbeatable duo now.
This time, they didn't fall asleep in class. The tiredness from the previous day had been replaced with energy, and they felt incredibly energized. They attentively listened to their lessons, and Mu Lan, with the knowledge from the future at his disposal, had an advantage. He could grasp the teacher's explanations much more quickly.
When they got back home after class, they resumed their training right where they had left off. They had dedicated all their free time to working on themselves. With only one day left before the game launched, Mu Lan and Beng Zeng kept pushing forward. Training had become a daily routine for them.
Mu Lan and Beng Zeng also began discussing money matters. After all, they could only rely on their families for so long. Mu Lan, with his knowledge of the future, knew he wouldn't have any trouble with money.
After all, he had traveled from the future to the past. He had many methods at his disposal. First, he could sell items in the game or trade game currency. Since these were difficult to earn in the game, he could make a lot of money using these two methods. He had other ways to earn money, but these two were the most fun, and he was quite knowledgeable about them.
After discussing money-making methods with Beng Zeng, evening arrived, and they took a shower and went to bed. When morning came, they continued their daily routine.
When they got back from school, they were extremely happy because only five hours remained until the game launched.
Since there were just five hours left, Mu Lan and Beng Zeng continued working on their bodies. They kept sparring with each other in the yard, but Mu Lan always came out on top. Beng Zeng considered Mu Lan a great opponent.
After four and a half hours of training, they didn't forget to head inside and take a shower.
There were only 10 minutes left until the game launched.
They lay on their beds and put on their helmets. The helmets allowed them to both talk and message each other. They had plenty of features.
Beng Zeng started speaking to Mu Lan through the helmet. "Mu, I hope we start in the same area."
Mu Lan quickly replied, "Even if we don't, you know what we need to do. We have to complete the instructors' training to get extra stats. This is a feature only available in the early levels. No matter how hard the training is, we must do it."
After Beng Zeng replied, "Got it, Mu," he watched the countdown until the game started.
Time left until the game launches: 8 seconds.
Time left until the game launches: 3 seconds.
Time left until the game launches: 1 second.
As soon as the launch button appeared, Mu Lan and Beng Zeng clicked on it and entered the game.
[You have entered the region of Farevell City.]
Mu Lan had now entered the game in Farevell City. Thousands of players surrounded him. The map was so large that it had scattered millions of people across different starting cities.
Without wasting any time, Mu Lan opened the friend request menu, searched for "Head Hunter," and sent a friend request.
Beng Zeng accepted the friend request and quickly sent a whisper.
"Mu, what region did you spawn in? I spawned in Green Rat City."
Mu Lan immediately responded, "I spawned in Farevell City. Did you put your stats into defense? First, allocate your stats to defense and then complete the training. I'll do the same here. Once you finish all the training, you'll earn a one-time teleport to any city. After you earn it, teleport to Farevell City, and I'll prepare a welcoming ceremony for you."
Receiving the message, Beng Zeng whispered back, "Got it, Mu." Mu Lan opened his character window since he also needed to allocate his stats. Every new character was given 10 stat points.

Seeing his stat window, Mu Lan instantly allocated all his points to agility without a second thought. His agility had now reached 11 points, which would be very helpful in the future. He would be quicker at dodging than most people and would also increase his critical hit rate. After all, Beng Zeng would be handling the primary defense.
