Omitted, Grandfather in Heaven, your grandson has found what he has been longing for in this strange world. I will burn a detailed report for you on the first day of the tenth month. This joy can only be shared with you.

About half an hour later, the light cocoon finally shattered. Chu Feiyue gently descended while curiously observing the surrounding space from a strange perspective.
Hmm, I am floating. Chu Feiyue landed softly on the ground without even a speck of dust rising.
"Because you've become an elemental being," Freya floated to his side, but the wind from her wings still blew him away. She quickly grabbed Chu Feiyue, "Elements are pure energy and do not have the concept of mass."
"No mass?" Chu Feiyue stood lightly on the ground, feeling as if he were standing on a mattress.
"Yes, the body of an elemental sprite is made of elements. Even the food you eat will be directly decomposed by the elements inside your body. Although you may still feel hungry or full, eating is no longer necessary. In fact, there is nothing inside an elemental sprite except for elements, which are energy rather than matter, so elemental sprites have no mass."
"Then why do I feel gravity? Shouldn't I be flying around everywhere?" Chu Feiyue wildly mimicked the flight path of a fly, but the large movement made him float again, scaring him into grabbing Freya's arm.
"That's not your own weight," Freya pointed to Chu Feiyue's clothes and the ring on his hand, "It's theirs. So, you need to adapt to the movement of elemental sprites quickly."
"But how do I adapt? Can you give me some ideas?" Chu Feiyue frowned, staring at the ring on his left ring finger, which had a silver body and five gray and one black glass stones embedded in it, unable to remember when he had worn it.
Shouldn't there be a light-colored birthmark there?
"You'll have to figure it out yourself," Freya shrugged lightly, "All the elemental sprites I've seen can fly. Maybe if you silently say 'fly,' you can fly. Uh, I'm just joking."
She looked foolishly as a pair of colorful wings appeared behind Chu Feiyue. After gently flapping the light wings on his back, he easily flew a considerable distance.
Chu Feiyue easily mastered his balance, though it was still a bit unfamiliar, he could finally move.
"It looks like you have a natural talent for flying. In that case, there shouldn't be any problem going over there. If you want to go to another world, just place your palm on it and silently think about it." Freya dragged Chu Feiyue by his trouser leg to the large glass sphere, "If possible, please try to increase your fame there. That way, I can get many useful things. Can you do that?"
Fame, that's reputation, right? I remember the poster mentioned it.
"No problem, I'll do my best." Chu Feiyue placed his hand on the crystal ball and silently thought, "Go to the game world."
"Sure, Fight!" Freya shook her arm to cheer for Chu Feiyue.
A beam of white light shone, and Chu Feiyue disappeared in the white light column.
After Chu Feiyue left, Freya's originally smiling lips suddenly twisted and drooped. She had been trying so hard not to laugh that now her stomach hurt from laughing.
"Haha, it seems my master is really insensitive."
"I really want to see his expression right now."

"Welcome, traveler [Dream], to the 8888th beginner village. Enjoy your stay."
After a terrible spatial teleportation, Chu Feiyue, holding his head as if it had been spun in a washing machine a thousand times, appeared on the edge of a fountain.
After a while of dizziness, Chu Feiyue's eyes finally focused on the things in front of him.
This should be the place where new players arrive in each beginner village, as evidenced by the continuous appearance of white light columns, from which a player would jump out each time a column disappeared.
These new players, regardless of gender, all wore the white robes given by the system, but these white robes would disappear the moment they put on equipment.
The reactions of new players entering the game varied. Some put on their equipment and ran out of the village, some broke into NPC houses and were kicked out, some followed the NPCs in and out, and some blocked others' paths while admiring the scenery and were scolded... and so on.
The scenery here is really nice, with mountains, water, blue skies, white clouds, green trees, red flowers, and colorful houses...
But why are all these things so big? Chu Feiyue, with a black line on his forehead, looked at the fountain next to him, which could easily hold ten thousand of him, and then at the players not far from him, who were nearly a hundred times taller than him, finally confirming that it wasn't the scenery that had grown but that he had shrunk.
It seems I'm now less than 3 centimeters tall.
"What the heck, why did I shrink?"
Chu Feiyue scratched his head, a bit dazed. Suddenly, his movements paused, and he followed the sensation at his fingertips, pulling a long strand of hair to his chest. More shockingly, he couldn't even see the end of the hair he was holding...
I pull, I pull, I pull, I pull...
After four hand switches, Chu Feiyue finally confirmed that his hair was half as long as his height.
And the hair color wasn't brown-black but a dazzling bright purple! What's going on here!
Just as Chu Feiyue was at a loss with his hair, a huge face suddenly appeared next to him, staring at him with eyes as big as his.
It seems a meticulous player noticed the small purple thing standing on the fountain and squatted down to study it. However, this action scared Chu Feiyue, who was now so small that even a chicken leg would be bigger than him. If he were eaten, who would he complain to?
Subconsciously summoning his wings, Chu Feiyue "puffโ" flew a considerable distance, trailing a purple light, and only slowly landed on the roof of a house after confirming that the person couldn't catch him.
Sitting on a green tile, Chu Feiyue sighed sadly. This body size is really...
Below, the voices were loud, and the place was bustling with people. But Chu Feiyue's current form meant there was a dimensional gap between him and the players below. He couldn't make himself bigger, so everything was in vain.
Now, Chu Feiyue's thoughts were all focused on his body size, and he had no interest in the magic he had been curious about before.
A graceful, ethereal female voice suddenly sounded, and Chu Feiyue quickly stood up, looking around in confusion but seeing no one. Listening carefully, he only heard the faint sound of the wind.
"I must have heard wrong." Chu Feiyue thought.
This time, Chu Feiyue heard it clearly, and even with his thick nerves, he felt a bit uneasy: Could it be... a ghost?
"Who are you? Where are you?" Chu Feiyue looked around suspiciously, clenching his fists, ready to defend himself.
"I... am in your... necklace, your... blood..."
The voice grew fainter and finally disappeared.
In the necklace? Blood? Could it be...
Chu Feiyue suddenly thought of a possibility. He grabbed his chest and pulled out something.
The crystal column necklace given to him by Liu Xing, with the purple carved jade pendant he had worn since childhood! He didn't expect this thing to follow him into the game world!
Chu Feiyue was now quite clean, wearing only the system-given white robe (for mages) and no shoes. The clothes he wore in reality had all been stripped away during the spatial transition, left behind. So, how did the necklace get here?
Chu Feiyue pointed the tip of the pendant at his finger and pressed hard. His fingertip hurt, and a silver-white drop of blood seeped out. Chu Feiyue, grimacing, smeared the strangely silver blood on the crystal column.
Upon contact with Chu Feiyue's blood, the crystal column necklace emitted a faint silver glow, and the crystal column trembled, making a "sizzling" sound.
Gradually, the silver glow grew stronger, and the necklace's trembling became more intense. Chu Feiyue held it tightly with both hands to prevent it from slipping. After a full minute, the necklace stopped trembling, and the silver glow dimmed.
The crystal column necklace now had a delicate pendant covered in a faint silver glow, and the patterns inside the crystal column were clearer. But it seemed... nothing else had changed. Chu Feiyue held it up to his eyes and examined it carefully.
Suddenly, the curved line inside the crystal column suddenly spread out, forming a vertical eye. Ethereal silver flames surrounded the eye, looking very mysterious.
The sudden change in the necklace startled Chu Feiyue, but his thick nerves kept him from throwing it away.
"Master, you succeeded, finally... succeeded." The ethereal voice sounded again, clearer this time, with a trembling note of excitement.
"Are you talking to me? Who are you?" Chu Feiyue stared at the crystal column necklace in his hand and asked.
"I am... um... I've forgotten everything except my name. I'm probably the spirit of this necklace. Master can call me Freya." The girl's voice was as clear as a nightingale, extremely pleasant, and even a bit shy.
So, it's a spirit... Holy crap, a spirit!?
