Chapter 1 - Beginner's Guide (Part 1)

Mu Anqi has always been unlucky, but not in the extreme sense of bad luck; rather, he experiences all sorts of minor misfortunes.

For example, when she's in a hurry, the signal on her phone is poor, and the longer the queue, the slower her internet speed becomes when scanning payment codes. Also, if she forgets to bring toilet paper, there's always only a small sheet left in the toilet stall. And when she really wants to eat something, and there's a long queue for that popular food, it's always sold out by the time it's her turn. There are many other small things like this; for instance, before mobile payments were widespread, the change in her purse would always fall out. Her phone would also mysteriously disappear if she didn't always have it in her hand. And as for things like earphones, one Bluetooth earphone would always fall out, and wired earphones would always get tangled.

Mu Anqi couldn't bear to continue recalling. You see, when she was eight years old, she met a fortune teller who said she would have a great destiny at the age of twenty! However, from then on, she began a life of constant minor misfortunes—a great destiny? What, she'll be trending on social media at the age of 20 for a bizarre death? Then people will dig up all the unlucky 12 years of her life, which is truly a great destiny.

Mu Anqi had always been dismissive of such things, and even felt somewhat uneasy as she approached her twenties, but—she won 300 million in the lottery when she turned twenty.

Three hundred million! Even though it's before tax, that's still three hundred million!

She's become incredibly wealthy! Incredibly wealthy! She's trending on social media! But nobody knows it's her. Mu Anqi, mindful of keeping her wealth hidden, only cautiously told her parents about it.

Just when Mu Anqi thought this was the great fortune the fortune teller had mentioned, she was hit by a car on her way to collect her lottery ticket—and was thrown into the air.

A sharp pain swept through her body, and she felt her strength and blood rapidly draining away. Lying in a pool of blood, Mu Anqi sensed passersby gathering around, chattering incoherently. Police cars? Ambulances? She didn't last that long before losing consciousness.

Fortunately... my parents still have over 200 million yuan for retirement, and...

—That damn fortune teller!

Mu Anqi is dead.

Mu Anqi survived.

Wait a minute. What's going on?

Mu Anqi was completely bewildered. She looked around; it was a completely unfamiliar environment. An… an empty room? And not the kind of empty room in reality, but more like a virtual space in a game. The room was a translucent pale blue, and beyond the translucency was an endless expanse of black. Mu Anqi tried to move around, tried to touch the pale blue "walls," but found that she could never reach the end, as if they moved with her.

Could it be that she died in a car accident and her consciousness transmigrated into... a game? But she's never played any games before, and if she transmigrated into a book, none of the novels she's been reading recently are science fiction!

Just as Mu Anqi was completely baffled, the system's voice, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, finally arrived.

[Welcome to Nirvana Space! Congratulations on becoming a Nirvana candidate player.]

[ Basic information about Nirvana Space has been sent to your mental terminal; please review it.]

[A two-hour preparation period is now in progress. Players are encouraged to quickly familiarize themselves with the basics of Nirvana Space and activate their unique abilities. Two hours later, you will travel to the Broken Mirror Continent for your first game session.]

Mu Anqi's eyes widened. Could this be... a quick transmigration guide? What kind of game is this? An otome game?! I don't even know if this contains adult content, or if it will pass censorship...

Mu Anqi's face gradually flushed slightly as she thought of something. A thought struck her, and she noticed the strange voice—no, it must be the system, right? Systems are common in quick transmigration novels; maybe it's someone from the quick transmigration bureau? She was still preoccupied with these random thoughts until she saw the first line of basic common sense.

[If a candidate player dies in the game, it is considered a true death, and there is no chance of resurrection.]

Mu Anqi!

[Those who complete the game for the first time become official players and can enjoy a series of privileges such as ability advancement, physical enhancement, injury repair, and resurrection.]

[A survival game where Ghosts coexist. The goal is to be the last one standing to complete the game. Defeating and capturing Ghosts will improve your rating and grant you extra basic rewards. A normal survival rating is C, awarding 200 points. A B rating awards 300 points. An A rating awards 500 points. An S rating awards 1000 points.]

[One free revive is given upon becoming a registered player.]

[One treatment costs 100 points, and reviving costs 500 points. (Note: Players are encouraged to play the game seriously and enjoy it.)]

Mu Anqi stared at the "Note" and was speechless. She thought this was a quick transmigration story about falling in love, but it turned out to be a life-or-death survival game! Falling in love? Coexisting with Ghosts? What kind of Ghost is she going to fall in love with?! And playing the game seriously and enjoying the game? Are you kidding me? How can you not take it seriously if you're trying to survive? Enjoying the game is unnecessary, after all, she's not a masochist.

Failure in the candidate selection means death. Success grants an extra life, allowing you to fail once more in the second game. But in the third game… you don't have enough points to revive, so you still die, right? Do you get points for failure? It's not mentioned, so I guess not. In other words, if you fail the second time, and can't get an A grade in the third game, you still die.

She had no idea what kind of escape game this was. Was the dungeon world realistic or anime-style? How were the Ghost levels distributed? Could players acquire abilities? She wondered if there were any items to use. The description only mentioned Ghost coexistence, and that was practically none. As for the benefits of becoming a full player… Mu Anqi sighed. She'd better just get through this first game.

"Hey, is the system there? How do I gain abilities?"

[Has the ability been awakened?]

"Yes." Mu Anqi thought, this system is quite rigid, I wonder if it even has consciousness. Nirvana Space, Nirvana? Could it be reborn? Why not call it the God's Space?

However, in the next instant, Mu Anqi felt a series of electric shocks pierce her brain. Her body convulsed and she collapsed to the ground. Although she hadn't seen anything, the pain was excruciating, as if it were burning her very soul. What was worse, she couldn't faint from this level of pain. Even as she rolled her eyes back and convulsed in agony, there was no way to escape it.

The pain seemed to Mu Anqi to last a long time, but in reality it only lasted three minutes.

[Activate ability...]

For some reason, the system's voice seemed to hesitate for a moment.

[ Old Lady Has Money.]

"???" Mu Anqi felt like she was hallucinating. She was incredulous. "System, you're a woman?! What does your money have to do with me?!" Why, why didn't you announce her awakened ability after she had endured so much suffering, but instead suddenly flaunted it like this? So what if she's rich? She used to be a woman with 300 million before taxes!

The voice stopped speaking, and Mu Anqi felt a surge of information enter her consciousness. She glanced at it and fell into deep thought.

Player Mu Anqi

He died at the age of 20

Female

Superpowered Old Lady Has Money

Points 0

Mu Anqi remained silent and activated his special ability.

Money talks, allowing you to hire creatures from the escape world for a limited time. The cost depends on the creature's ability, willingness, and the duration of the hire.

Passive - Unexpected Fortune: +100 points at the end of the dungeon

Passive - Heaven's Chosen Daughter: Upon entering the game, randomly acquires a certain amount of guansi.

Note that players spend points to use abilities, while spending guan si to use abilities on creatures in the game world.

There are still abilities available, but they're locked. Clearly, they can only be unlocked after becoming a full-fledged player.

Okay, this is a trap.

She's very capable, and if used properly, she could be invincible. After all, there's nothing in the world that money can't solve, but the problem is—she has no money.

No officials, no points, nothing. The only use of this ability when she's broke is through the passive, luck-based initial draw of officials and doubled rewards upon completion of a level.

[Ability awakening complete. A beginner's backpack is given as a gift. Players can use it to store items.]

As the system notification ended, a tattered, patched-up military green backpack appeared out of thin air before Mu Anqi's eyes. She picked it up and examined it repeatedly, but the game-like grid didn't appear in her mind. Then she looked at her fingers... Was she about to undergo a blood test to determine kinship?

Mu Anqi raised her hand to her mouth, hesitating whether to bite or not, when she noticed a line of description suddenly appear on the backpack she was pressing.

[It's just a regular backpack~ But it's a newbie backpack that's bound to the player, so it won't get damaged or lost~]

"..." Fortunately, she didn't do anything stupid.

Two hours of preparation time isn't a long time, but it's not short either. For those who can't accept reality and break down in tears, two hours is clearly not enough. But for someone like Mu Anqi... who has been unlucky since childhood, whose fortunes took a 180-degree turn after becoming rich, and whose greatest blessing is becoming a Nirvana Space player after death, her only regrets now are just a few points.

1. I didn't say goodbye to my parents.

2. Did not receive the huge prize money.

3. I have never experienced the life of a rich person.

4. Never been in a relationship.

Mu Anqi sighed softly, spending the rest of her time regretting these things. Of course, her biggest resentment was that she had become incredibly wealthy in the last period of her life, only to die before she could even collect the money. And the superpower she awakened after death was the ironic " Old Lady Has Money "?! It should have been "I've got plenty of daydreams" and "I've got plenty of money to burn!"

well!

Time passed second by second, until two hours had elapsed, and then the system voice sounded again.

[Drawing game items...]

[Ding! Game project Taiyin Circus. Players, please prepare!]

[Entering... Please wait...]

In a daze, the light before Mu Anqi's eyes distorted, and then everything went black as he entered the game.

Taiyin... Circus?!

This is insane! Is this a death start?! Who starts with Horror Circus on their first game?! This is her first time playing! Look at her passive skills, "Unexpected Fortune," " Heaven's Chosen Daughter "! Is this how you treat Heaven's Chosen Daughter?!

Mu Anqi was slightly desperate. As soon as he regained consciousness in the game world, he immediately clasped his hands together and began to pray, "Dad, please! Let me get more money to buy my life!"

[Beep! Passive skill - Heaven's Chosen Daughter - activated!]

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining 666 guansi.]

The author has something to say: This is a completely different setting from the infinite flow novel by the author in red.

It's also quite different from the typical infinite flow setting of the main god space.

It shouldn't be too scary; even those who are easily frightened can watch it with a laugh.

No potential hazards have been identified yet; we will investigate further if any are found later.

Finally, here's a preview of my upcoming novel, "The Necromancer's Escape".

In short, I cast curses, play with skeletons, summon the undead, drive away vengeful spirits, and associate with ghosts and succubi, but I know I'm a good person!
