    Recently, I have been learning Unity for 2 months now and I still can't find a tutorial about how to create a multiplayer system. Can anyone recommend for me where to learn???

    Well, my advice to you is to make 1 player games and come back to the multiplayer when you have some experience with Unity. Multiplayer is hard, you don't want to learn how to make games, how to use Unity and how to juggle with multiplayer at the same time.
    2 months, even if you haven't slept and you did nothing else but Unity in the entire time is nothing.

    MLAPI is the official networking system supported by Unity. You'll look for information on that, or start with @hippocoder 's link. There are many other 3rd party networking systems as well, to get started on those you'd look for their documentation and tutorials.

    But I agree with the earlier comments that you should be working on single player games right now. You are almost certain to get frustrated and discouraged taking on a multiplayer game at this point. Multiplayer games are the hardest and most time consuming projects. Understand that this is just like you started making youtube videos 2 months ago, and you're asking where the tutorials are for making a big budget feature length blockbuster film.
