It Begins In Low-Rise Chapter 1

When Jason Pei stood at the intersection in a daze, all he saw was the bumpy streets and the low-rise houses. It was several minutes later when he realized the malicious gazes.

This place feels a little strange, yet a little familiar, but he is really familiar with the clothes he is wearing and the pair of white, slender hands.

Holographic games.

At the time of Jason Pei, this was something that everyone had been looking forward to for a long time, but in fact it was not so easy to appear. Who knew that suddenly an unknown company quietly released a preview of the internal test, and then the public test, until it swept the world.

No one would have thought that at that time, someone could make a holographic game so realistic, with a map so incredibly large and NPCs so intelligent that they all looked like real people.

Even though this game had too many problems at the beginning, it did not prevent it from becoming extremely popular.

After all, it is the only one, and other game companies cannot imitate it at all.

It is called the Bixby Rubik's Cube, a name that has been criticized for many years.

Jason Pei looked at the tall tower at the end of the street. In the game, screenshots of this tower appeared frequently in the early days.

He was wearing a standard Western-style dress suit, a white shirt, a black vest, black trousers, and a suit jacket. This was the outfit from the sixth anniversary of the game, and Jason Pei's main account got an extra set. The clothes were not expensive at the time, so he simply put them on his secondary account.

...That's right. Jason Pei opened his panel again and took a look. This was undoubtedly his small account in the Bix Cube, a level 1 warehouse account.

However, one thing he was sure of was that the scene in front of him was not the same as it usually was when he logged into the game, and even the tall tower on this street was subtly different from when he logged into the game yesterday.

This holographic game is said to be over 95% realistic, and many players boast that it is 100% realistic, but Jason Pei knows that, at least in terms of pain, it is impossible to be 100% realistic because players cannot accept it.

And now, Jason Pei had just been hit by a stone thrown by a child, and the back of his hand was still slightly affected.

"No way?" he muttered. Things like traveling through games only happen in novels, right?

What's more, he looked at this world with no visible boundaries and the people nearby staring at him, and felt that they didn't feel like NPCs at all.

Compared to the game world, this place is more like a real different world.

After hesitating for a moment, he walked around the area and found that he did not find the familiar NPC providing guidance in the familiar place. Of course, he did not see any player on the entire street.

Pausing, Jason Pei decisively opened the forum page through his personal panel, wanting to post a question to ask if there was anything different about today's game, and whether he had entered a special copy without his knowledge.

Although he remembered that there was an inexplicable power outage when he logged into his sub-account, and his vision went dark for a few minutes before he inexplicably stood on that street, this game has a high degree of freedom, and you never know where you might have fallen into any dungeon.

However, the forum was not one he was familiar with.

The entire forum was empty, with only a single announcement hanging on it.

"BixCube", the world's only true holographic game, with a realism of over 95%, the free world is waiting for you to explore!

Role-playing RPG takes you to experience a complete different world.

This game will be launched in closed beta on July 9, 2019.

These three short sentences were written in an extremely perfunctory manner, without any sincerity on the surface.

There is no picture on the background of the page, which means there is nothing at all. Apart from that, there is only a message box below to register and apply for internal test qualification.

At this point in time, there are only a few comments, either "Hello, scammer, I've been here", "What if it's true", or "New scam? Is there a virus?"...

Anyway, almost no one really believes it.

Jason Pei was unable to move for a long time, staring blankly at the address of the "forum".

This picture... Although he is not a beta tester, there are always very enthusiastic players who keep the screenshots of the initial game announcement and release them later for everyone to appreciate together.

Among those screenshots in my memory, the first one is such a crude and outrageous picture.

"Is this still before the server opens?" He looked around and saw a little kid with a dirty face on the street secretly looking at him. When he met his gaze, he quickly turned around and ran away.

That kind of agility and reality made Jason Pei feel that this was definitely not a game world.

Moreover, if a game has not been launched, is there any need for NPCs to act so seriously? After all, players later recognized that the NPCs of this game are all played by humans or artificial intelligence, so there is no need to do such a thing before the server is launched.

While feeling extremely terrified, Jason Pei recalled how scary the place where he was standing was.

The initial server of Bix's Cube was the Aryan Continent. Before it became commonplace to cross-server many years later, the reputation of this place was not very good.

Many years later, this place has become a paradise for free PKers, where chaos and order coexist, the continent is in turmoil and regimes are changing, and darkness and sin are the main themes here.

However, when the server was first launched, the continent of Alexandria was not that exaggerated. Despite this, it was still full of scammers, villains and criminals.

The original Ali continent was a crazy place where prosperity and sin coexisted. Even when the 27th server was opened and newcomers basically did not choose Ali continent as their birthplace, there were still countless players who first entered the game and missed the original Ali.

However, now that Jason Pei was standing on this street alone, he did not feel so good.

He was just a level 1 trumpet, so even if he had a backpack and a warehouse full of artifacts, he couldn't use them. What was even more bizarre was that although he chose a mage for this warehouse trumpet, his face was also extremely perfect, and many years later, it was recognized as the best-looking male god face, but when the random attributes were selected, the initial qualifications randomly selected were "strength 5, agility 0, intelligence 0, will 0, constitution 0". This kind of extreme strength qualification is what countless physical professions dream of, but it was a pity that this was a mage.

But since it's just a warehouse account, Jason Pei thinks it's interesting to keep this qualification. An account has two chances to refresh the qualification, which is equivalent to choosing one from three. Jason Pei's small account initially refreshed to the full-strength qualification, and because he didn't plan to train it, he directly chose it.

It is true that the full-power mage is a waste, but as a warehouse number, what does it matter whether he is a waste or not.

So much so that Jason Pei felt very desperate when looking at his attribute panel.

Even to tear open a magic scroll with the lowest requirement, at least 20 points of intelligence are needed. As a mage, even if the initial performance is not satisfactory, most of the time you can maintain 20 points of intelligence after upgrading to level 5 or above. However, Jason Pei's full-power mage... each level up will automatically increase 5 points of strength, which is linked to the initial qualifications, and other attributes can only be increased by a fixed point after upgrading, and there is also only one point that can be added freely. That's right, he has to find a way to at least reach level 10 before he can have some self-protection ability.

But in the current situation, there is no NPC to guide him, nor does he see the NPCs who are rumored to issue new player tasks in the game. There are so many malicious eyes around him that he is not even sure whether the so-called system protection will be triggered before the game is launched. Where should he go to upgrade!

The next day, Jason Pei patted the non-existent dust on his suit. He could confirm one thing, the system protection was not triggered. He could be resurrected after death, but the pain was 100%. He didn't want to try it a second time in his life. In addition, if he couldn't find a place to settle down, he might be sold a second time. Whether he should continue to escape death at that time was a problem.

At this moment, a huge carriage came into his sight. There was an intricate golden emblem on the body of the carriage. If you looked closely, you could see it was a rose.

"Golden Rose...Manor."

Jason Pei remembered this place. He looked not far away and found two young men in formal attire waiting nervously.

However, it is obvious that the family conditions of these two people are not very good. The two suits do not fit well and are not even new. They look a bit old.

He calmly ran over and stood beside them.

The two men looked towards Jason Pei with unfriendly eyes.

The next moment, the carriage really stopped at this place. The door of the carriage opened, and a middle-aged man in a shirt, trousers and a short vest got off the carriage. He wore a pair of glasses with a chain on his nose, and a corner of a neatly folded white handkerchief was exposed in the pocket of his shirt. He held a pocket watch in his hand. He glanced at the time casually, then looked up and saw three people standing in front of him in an orderly manner.

He seemed a little surprised, "Didn't they say there were only two applicants?" Why are there three people here?

After taking a closer look at the three people, he didn't really care, "Let's all get in the car."

The interior of the carriage was very spacious. Jason Pei looked around and found that there were six people in the carriage, including him and the gentle middle-aged man. Most of them were like the two young men he had just seen, wearing half-worn formal clothes and looking nervous. Moreover, Jason Pei discovered that the people in the Asian continent were not very good-looking, and they were not quite the same as modern European and American people. Perhaps because of malnutrition, most of them had yellow complexions and many dark spots on their faces. But most of the people in front of him had regular eyebrows and eyes. Even if there were some with bad complexions, they were at least not bad looking.

Of course, even if they were all given beauty cameras and Meitu XiuXiu, Jason Pei could still beat them eighteen times.

Therefore, the middle-aged man's attention was mostly on Jason Pei, and everyone else was completely overshadowed by him.

"Let me make this clear in advance. Golden Rose Manor doesn't care about your origins and backgrounds, and we are not afraid of causing any trouble. But there is one thing. If you make the young master unhappy and are kicked out of the manor, your troubles will not be solved by the manor, and you are not allowed to make noise and bother the young master again."

"Your duty is to take care of the young master, and put the young master's needs first."

"In our Golden Rose Manor, the Master's words are the rules."

...

As the carriage moved forward, Jason Pei realized that he had infiltrated the team recruiting a butler for the Golden Rose Manor. As he listened, he realized that the so-called "butler" was not really recruiting a butler at all, but was looking for a personal male servant for the eldest master of the Golden Rose Manor.

He knew about the Golden Rose Manor and the famous young master of the Golden Rose Manor. A player once received a task about him, saying that he was the most naughty child in the world and that he had to replace a new batch of male servants every one or two months.

There are even some horrific stories of abuse connected to the estate.

Half an hour later, Jason Pei saw Igor Lanno, whose blond and blue-eyed beauty seemed like a gift from God. He knew that Igor Lanno was only fourteen years old. His handsome and innocent face and eyes that were beautiful like gems seemed to be able to make people forgive any bad things he had done. Even a modern man as knowledgeable as Jason Pei was dazed for a moment, his worries disappeared, and even his heart softened a little.

Anyway, he is still a half-grown child, and he is not a child anymore, so no matter how unreasonable he is, there is a limit. Even if he has a bad temper, it is still forgivable looking at this face.

The world is always more tolerant towards beauties.

However... Jason Pei discovered that he was wrong in the shortest time in history.
