Bugged From the Start: I Spawned as a Parasite

Chapter 3 – So good

Is anyone in this chaotic place thinking of taking advantage of Chen Yuan?

Of course, there are, but don't be fooled by the fact that Chen Yuan is wheelchair-bound; he's consumed quite a few Enhanced Gene Serums.

Even sitting in a wheelchair, it would take at least twenty or thirty ordinary people to handle him.

Moreover, he now has over a hundred people under his command, and they're not to be trifled with.

Inside the restaurant, everyone was enjoying their meal.

"Brother Yuan, tomorrow Star Domain officially starts selling game helmets. Do you want me to get one for you?" Ning Xiang asked Chen Yuan.

Two years ago, he was still living on welfare, who would have thought he'd have a day where he could spend 100,000 to buy a helmet for gaming.

Chen Yuan looked up, puzzled, at Ning Xiang.

"They start selling tomorrow? Hasn't the game been in open beta for almost a year? Why is it that in Tiannan City, the game helmets are only being sold tomorrow?"

Could it be that the game company discriminates against Tiannan City? This was the only possibility Chen Yuan could think of.

Chen Yuan's question left everyone at the table choking on their food, and the sound of coughing filled the air.

Zhang Le wiped the rice grains he had just spat out from his mouth and looked at Chen Yuan in disbelief.

"Brother Yuan, Star Domain's open beta starts the day after tomorrow!!" he said.

"What???"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Chen Yuan realized they all agreed with Zhang Le.

But if it hasn't been in open beta, what game was I playing today?

Thinking about it, something didn't add up. Chen Yuan asked, "I remember the game's advertisements started a year ago, right?"

"Yes, Star Domain began its pre-launch a year ago. Brother Yuan, don't you remember? You even took a 10,000 contract for their regional electronic ad design," Ning Xiang said.

Chen Yuan nodded, "I remember, the open beta was supposed to be on June 15, 3120. I remember that date clearly."

Ning Xiang and the others were dumbfounded, looking at each other.

Ning Xiang weakly said, "The problem is, Brother Yuan, their open beta date is June 15, 3121!"

Zhang Le's face twitched as he added, "No wonder when I saw their promotional page, I always thought that zero looked odd. Brother Yuan, did you take the money and just delete it?"

The others were holding back their laughter.

After Ning Xiang and Zhang Le's explanation, Chen Yuan remembered that the person in charge had contacted him later via chat to make changes.

He had just glanced at it and thought, "10,000 for this, and they want changes? No way!"

He ignored the person in charge.

So, it turns out he messed up the open beta date!

But then Chen Yuan frowned. Was the game he played today Star Domain?

"You guys continue eating, I'm heading back."

Chen Yuan hurriedly controlled his wheelchair and left.

"Hey, Brother Yuan, are you buying the helmet or not?" Ning Xiang shouted after him.

"Buy one," Chen Yuan's voice faded into the distance.

***

Chen Yuan rushed back home and found the game helmet he had tossed in the corner.

He put on the helmet and entered the game.

The familiar scene appeared, and the Wild Wolf's attributes hadn't changed since he left.

This proved it was an unambitious wild monster.

Chen Yuan resumed his flower-biting endeavor without hesitation.

After learning that the game would only start its open beta the day after tomorrow, he had other ideas.

Perhaps the existence of this Parasite wasn't a bug.

He wanted to see what this Parasite would ultimately become.

***

The long journey of monster hunting began again.

[Ding] "System: Your host has defeated the opponent. As a Parasite, your all attributes have become 0.025."

[Ding] "System: Your host has defeated the opponent. As a Parasite, your all attributes have become 0.031."

Chen Yuan didn't know how the wild monster's experience points were calculated.

Anyway, under his "leadership and command," his host Wild Wolf killed 42 Wild Wolves, finally leveling up from level 4 to level 5.

The Wild Wolf's health points increased to 40, attack power to 8, and defense to 3. Self-Healing and Bite each leveled up.

Moreover, there was a line after the Wild Wolf's level: "Reached limit level," which Chen Yuan didn't understand.

He then checked his own attributes, which had increased to a pitiful 0.068, but it was still not enough!

Although he only killed 42 monsters, it took Chen Yuan several hours.

After all, he couldn't teach the Wild Wolf step by step, so it was slow.

However, he had progressed from randomly biting chrysanthemums to biting different positions based on the direction he needed to go.

***

"Forget it, I'll play again tomorrow!"

Chen Yuan looked at the sky outside, stretched, and felt uncomfortable after sitting still all day.

Logically, playing such a weak character shouldn't be interesting, but knowing the open beta was the day after tomorrow, he became very interested.

He was eager to see the expressions on other players' faces when they saw his character.

***

Early the next morning, Chen Yuan got up early and spent an hour completing his work for the day.

No matter what, making money was the priority.

After finishing everything, Chen Yuan grabbed the worn-out helmet and entered the game again.

As expected, the Wild Wolf was an idiot, standing there dumbly all night after Chen Yuan logged off.

This foolishness really worried Chen Yuan.

With no other choice, Chen Yuan resumed his command duties.

Since he was much more familiar with the process today than yesterday, it only took a little over three hours for the Wild Wolf to kill over a hundred wild monsters.

[Ding] "System: Your host has defeated the opponent. As a Parasite, your all attributes have become 0.181."

[Ding] "System: Congratulations, your host's quality has improved. As a Parasite, your all attributes have become 0.281."

Chen Yuan was delighted, not expecting a direct reward of 0.1 for all attributes this time.

Poor Chen Yuan was thrilled with just this little bit of attribute increase.

Chen Yuan checked the Wild Wolf's attributes again.

[Name]: Elite Wild Wolf ★★★

[Aptitude]: D

[Level]: 1

[Health Points]: 50/50

[Physical Attack]: 10

[Physical Defense]: 4

[Skill One] "Bite Level 6 (30/320): Attack deals 210% of current attack power as damage, with an 11% chance to cause the target to bleed for 3 seconds, losing 6% health per second, cooldown 30 seconds."

[Talent One] "Self-Healing Level 4 (63/80): Recovers 4 health points every 10 seconds after exiting combat until fully healed."

[Description]: It used to be just an ordinary wild monster, but now it's an elite monster. Given time, it will surely become the leader of the surrounding Wild Wolves.

The attributes of this level 1 Elite Wild Wolf were almost double those of a level 1 ordinary Wild Wolf.

Health points increased from the initial 20 to 50, attack from 4 to 10, and defense from 1 to 4.

Chen Yuan guessed that "Reached limit level" probably referred to the Wild Wolf's level cap, and exceeding it would lead to a quality upgrade.

As for what the stars after the name meant, he hadn't figured it out yet, as there was no information on the official website.

He would have to wait for the open beta.
