Volume 1, Chapter 1: The Global Transmigration

Page (1/3)
【Congratulations to you all, you have transmigrated!】
【Welcome to this world. Here, you have only one mission: strive to develop your territory, strengthen yourself, and face unknown challenges.】
【Good luck.】

A grand voice rumbled through Lin Xuan’s mind. Lin Xuan looked bewildered.
"Where am I? What did that voice mean by 'facing unknown challenges'?"
He had just gone to sleep; how did he end up here?
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Lin Xuan realized he was no longer in his dormitory.
It was a crude straw hut containing only a bamboo bed, covered with some thatch and a thick, old cotton quilt.
What was going on?
After a moment, Lin Xuan prepared to get out of bed to take a look.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, a virtual interface suddenly appeared in his consciousness.

【Creature of another world, welcome to the Peerless Three Kingdoms. This is a world filled with crises, based on the Three Kingdoms era from your memories.】
【Here, you will act as a lord. Developing your territory and strengthening yourself is your only means of survival.】
【Friendly reminder: This is not a prank, and you are not dreaming. If you die here, you are truly dead!】
【Next page.】

After reading carefully, Lin Xuan finally understood his situation.
He had transmigrated.
Deep down, he didn't feel much resistance to such an event. How should he put it... who hadn't fantasized about transmigrating at some point?
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Since he had already arrived in another world, he might as well see what this place was all about.
Lin Xuan quickly adjusted his mindset and clicked on the "Next page" option.
A long list of information appeared before his eyes.

【Village】: Unnamed
【Village Chief】: Lin Xuan
【Village Population】: 1
【Village Hall】: Level 0 (Note: The level of the Village Hall determines the total population capacity of the village.)
【Villager Housing】: 25 (Basic building, provided free by the system.)

"So I'm a commander with no troops!"
Lin Xuan shook his head inwardly, but didn't dwell on it and continued reading.
【Village Assets】:
Newbie Gift Pack: 1
Copper Coins: 100
Wood: 10
Iron Ore: 10
Grain: 10

Refugee Camp Blueprint: 1
Primary Barracks Blueprint: 1

Additionally, there were miscellaneous items:
Trading Channel (Locked)
Territory Rankings (Locked)
Wealth Leaderboard (Locked)
...

After finishing, Lin Xuan checked the specific details of the Refugee Camp and Primary Barracks blueprints, only to find that they required many materials to construct.
With his current assets of 100 copper coins, 10 units of wood, and 10 units of iron ore, he couldn't build anything at all.
The above information concerned the village.
Beyond that, there was a regional chat channel that had already been activated.
Driven by curiosity, Lin Xuan opened the chat channel.
Instantly, a flood of messages flashed before his eyes.

"Where is this!? Who is pulling a prank!"
"This crappy bed is so hard! Can't we get a Simmons mattress?"
"Holy cow! I'm actually the chief of a village. Are you guys the same?"
"Wow! This game is so realistic, it's exactly like reality!"
"The guy above is an idiot; this isn't a game, we've transmigrated!"
"Not a game? Who believes that! How did you pass nine years of compulsory education? How... don't tell me you actually think you've transmigrated?"
...

Looking at the chaotic messages in the chat channel, Lin Xuan was certain that he was not the only one who had transmigrated.
Then, Lin Xuan noticed a string of numbers at the very top of the chat channel: 99,999.
If he wasn't mistaken, this was likely the number of transmigrators in their region.
Lin Xuan didn't waste too much time in the chat channel. He remembered the virtual interface's initial introduction very clearly.
This was a world filled with crises!
An entity capable of causing so many people to transmigrate together would never do so without a purpose, so he had to take this seriously.
Closing the chat channel, Lin Xuan got up and walked out of the Village Hall.
A cool breeze hit him, and what met his eyes were lush, rolling mountain ranges.
Lin Xuan walked around, observing his territory. There were twenty-some straw huts as crude as the Village Hall, and the area around the territory was overgrown with various wild plants.
Looking at the dense jungle and the towering, ancient trees, Lin Xuan smelled the scent of the wild, and also a hint of... danger!!
This was definitely not a safe place.
"There's still a Newbie Gift Pack I haven't used. Let's see what's inside."
In an instant, a box shimmering with seven-colored light appeared out of thin air.

【Newbie Gift Pack】:
Item 1: Talent Draw Ticket

Item 2: Bronze Recruitment Order
Item 3: Random Building Blueprint

These were the items inside the Newbie Gift Pack.
Lin Xuan opened the pack and looked at the draw ticket, the recruitment order, and the random building blueprint in his hands.
Rubbing his palms together, he said, "I hope my luck is decent."
He proceeded to use them immediately.
The first was the Talent Draw Ticket.
Upon use, a beam of light shot out from the ticket and instantly merged into Lin Xuan’s body.
Then, a prompt sounded in his mind.
【Congratulations, you have acquired the Talent: Luck.】
【Luck】: Your luck is always just a little bit better than others.

Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment.
Luck! What was this? Was it a case of "saying it makes it so"?
"Luck... can this thing... even be called a talent? Is it actually useful?"
Lin Xuan's talent left him feeling uncertain. Heaven knows how much "a little bit better" actually amounted to.
"Let's see what talents others have drawn."
At this point, Lin Xuan figured he wasn't the only one who had drawn a talent.
So, Lin Xuan opened the regional chat channel.
Sure enough, the content of the chat had already changed.

"Tell me, what talents did you all draw? I drew 'Midas Touch,' which can turn one copper coin into a silver coin."
"Damn! There's a talent like that? Are you sure you're not cheating? I drew 'Woodcarving Mastery,' what the hell is the use of that!"
"Definitely cheating! Why did I only draw 'Eternal Youth'!"
"To the guy above, I suspect you're humble-bragging!"
"I drew 'Shadowless Kick,' I run much faster than before."
"Mine is 'Sword Arts Talent,' I don't know how effective it is yet."
...

After reading for a while, Lin Xuan gained a rough understanding.
Some had drawn good ones, some were outright cheating! And some people had drawn talents that were completely useless.
His "Luck" talent, he supposed... shouldn't be at the bottom.
Calming himself down, Lin Xuan looked at the next item.
Bronze Recruitment Order.
