After confirming the fact of his dual panels, he did not hesitate for too long.
Then, he skillfully clicked on his main quest in the [Quest] tab.
At this moment, Bai Ge's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Since he had two panels, the next step was to verify their practicality.
What he cared about most was whether the [Dispossess] Talent in his real-world panel could take effect within the game!
And to verify this, doing quests and killing monsters was undoubtedly the most effective method.

"Famine Eaters? Could it be those wild dog monsters?"
Recalling the monsters from his memory, a hint of solemnity appeared in Bai Ge's eyes.
Because in his memory, Famine Eaters were not something a Level 1 novice could deal with.
These monsters were pack animals, and even the most common ones were Level 2, with some elite monsters reaching Level 3.
'The starting difficulty of the closed beta and open beta are indeed not on the same level.'
Bai Ge felt a bit emotional, but the extra rewards given at the start of the closed beta were enough to compensate for the initial difficulty.
So, he didn't hesitate for too long. After closing the quest tab, he headed towards the western suburbs of Nest Capital on the map.
Nest Capital was vast, far from the small novice village he entered when he first joined the deep gloom in his previous life.
There were many people along the way, mostly commoner NPCs.
Of course, occasionally, well-dressed, merchant-like NPCs would pass by, and he could even see mercenaries carrying weapons from time to time.
The people coming and going were all natives of the Deep Gloom World, their lively expressions and movements completely unlike cold data strings.
Bai Ge's eyes flickered. As a Reborn Person, he knew that after the Deep Darkness Descent, these in-game NPCs would become indistinguishable from living people in reality.
Half an hour later, Bai Ge arrived at the inner city of Nest Capital.
But all the way to the West Gate, he didn't spot a single player.
"It seems there were only 100 game pods sold externally for the closed beta. This is good; I can develop peacefully in the early stages without worrying about competing for monsters or resources."
Not long after, Bai Ge stopped.
He was about to enter the western suburbs, and to prepare for the upcoming battle, he still needed to do some groundwork.
First, he opened his inventory and took out the novice set gifted by the system, putting it on.

After equipping himself, Bai Ge then allocated 2 of the previously rewarded free attribute points to Agility.
Only then did he take a deep breath and walk towards the mass grave in the western suburbs.
Carefully entering the mass grave area, a putrid smell gradually intensified. Crows occasionally flew low overhead, emitting mournful cries.
Bai Ge gripped his dagger tightly, his eyes vigilantly scanning his surroundings.
Suddenly, a figure darted out from the nearby bushes.
It was a creature resembling a wolf-dog, but its disgusting mouth still held a severed arm, and its crimson eyes were filled with madness and bloodlust.
Clearly, it did not welcome Bai Ge, this outsider.
At the same time, a blue light flashed in Bai Ge's eyes.
The [Observer] title was activated!
[Observer LV1]: Detect creature information (limit not exceeding player's level by 10)
The next second, the monster's information appeared in Bai Ge's eyes.

[Famine Eater LV2]: Canine-like mutated creature
Health: 36 / 36
Attack: 3 ~ 5
Speed: 3-5

"It really is this thing!"
But Bai Ge showed no fear. He raised his dagger and charged forward.
Seeing this, the Famine Eater seemed to have its ferocity aroused. The next second, it pounced towards Bai Ge's dagger.
A cold glint flashed in Bai Ge's eyes. This creature in front of him wasn't very intelligent.
He easily dodged the pounce with a sidestep, then thrust his dagger, plunging it fiercely into the Famine Eater's abdomen.
The previous 2 points of Agility attribute bonus now showed its effect; Bai Ge's agility was just barely superior to the monster in front of him.
The Famine Eater cried out in pain, roaring, and turned to pounce fiercely again.
Bai Ge had combat experience from his previous life, coupled with his superior attributes.
So, he dealt with it with ease.
His footwork was agile as he dodged the Famine Eater's attacks, while also seizing opportunities to stab it a couple of times.
Soon, this Famine Eater unwillingly breathed its last.
[System Prompt: Experience + 5 (120% bonus for killing above level)]
[System Prompt: Plunder Talent takes effect, Strength + 0.02, Agility + 0.02]
Looking at the second system prompt, an uncontrollable excitement surged in Bai Ge's heart.
This confirmed his conjecture: [Dispossess] had taken effect!
A burning ambition gradually ignited in Bai Ge's eyes.
Although the attributed feedback currently seemed small, one should remember that this was only a low-level monster.
Later, as his level increased, the level of monsters he would face would also increase, so the attribute points fed back to him would become considerable.
However, before he could celebrate for long, two more Famine Eaters suddenly rushed out from different directions.
Apparently, his previous battle had alerted the monsters lurking nearby.
Bai Ge's heart tightened, but he didn't panic.
He quickly observed the positions and movements of the two Famine Eaters, then readied his dagger for battle.
The Famine Eater on the left pounced first. Bai Ge sidestepped, simultaneously thrusting his dagger at its back.
However, the Famine Eater on the right took the opportunity to bite Bai Ge's clothes, tearing at them fiercely.
Bai Ge forcefully broke free, his clothes torn, and a cut appeared on his arm.
[System Prompt: Attacked, Health - 3]
Enduring the pain, Bai Ge widened the distance, his eyes flickering as he looked at the two Famine Eaters opposite him.
Under the blessing of the [Observer] title, Bai Ge felt his brain also seemed to become sharper at this moment.
The Famine Eater on the left attacked more ferociously, its level reaching LV3.
But the one on the right was relatively slower, just like the one he killed, only LV2.
In an instant, Bai Ge made up his mind.
He decided to prioritize dealing with the lower-level Famine Eater on the right. Firstly, it was easier, and secondly, it would reduce the pressure of being attacked from two sides.
Without further ado, Bai Ge's eyes flashed. He feigned an attack on the Famine Eater on the left with his dagger.
The lower-level one on the right, seeing this, directly pounced from behind Bai Ge.
But just then, as if Bai Ge had eyes in the back of his head, he suddenly turned around and thrust his dagger with full force at the Famine Eater on the right.
"Die!"
The dagger accurately pierced its throat. The ambushing Famine Eater whimpered once and then collapsed powerlessly to the ground.
[System Prompt: Experience + 5 (120% bonus for killing above level)]
[System Prompt: Plunder Talent takes effect, Strength + 0.02, Agility + 0.02]
Seeing this, the Famine Eater on the left pounced even more furiously.
Although Bai Ge's Stamina had decreased, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
After a fierce struggle, Bai Ge finally found an opportunity and sliced off the Famine Eater's head with a single strike.
[System Prompt: Experience + 8 (120% bonus for killing above level)]
[System Prompt: Plunder Talent takes effect, Strength + 0.03, Agility + 0.03]
Slumped on the ground, Bai Ge gasped for breath, the wounds on his body throbbing with pain.
But the attributes fed back to him brought a look of satisfaction to Bai Ge's eyes.
Then, as if he thought of something, Bai Ge's eyes flashed, and he opened his attribute panel.

"Only experience can be shared?"
The attributes plundered by [Dispossess] could only be fed back to his real-world panel.
And the 5 free attribute points gifted by the system earlier could only be reflected in the game panel.
Bai Ge looked at his two panels, and the next second, a look of horror appeared in his eyes.
"No, what's going on with the Health on the real-world panel?!"
Before the quest, the game panel showed 100% health, while the real-world panel showed 99% due to a head contusion.
And he had been injured while hunting Famine Eaters just now, so his health was now displayed as 86%.
But why was his real-world panel also down by 14%?
"Could it be... injuries in the game synchronize with reality?"
Then wouldn't his death in the game mean he was truly dead?
But the Deep Darkness had not yet descended!
Could it be a side effect of the real-world panel?
Bai Ge's face gradually darkened.
He had originally wanted to farm experience without regard for the cost before the Deep Darkness descended.
But it seemed he had already been marked by the Deep Darkness; his in-game health was actually synchronized with reality.
"It seems the plan needs to change!"
