"Tricky Jianghu OL" is a large-scale 3D online game focusing on the national style, and it has started publicity activities in the past few months.

Over the past few months, players who have followed this game have been very impressed by the cool character skill actions, the division of sects based on ancient classics, and the various unique boss monsters, as well as the magnificent and weird game scenes.

On the first day of the closed beta, casual and union players who had already received the activation code poured into the game, and the number of online users on the test server exceeded 500,000 in just one hour.

As soon as it came up, the game CG showed the world view - the spirit of the Nine Heavens dissipated somehow, the world was in chaos, the war was everywhere, and in the troubled times, the people were not able to make a living, and demons were everywhere.

The game's novice map is Chang'an City. To start the game, players have to explore outside the city of Chang'an, which has been invaded by demonic energy.

But unlike the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the first thing players face after establishing a character and entering the game is a picture of a chaotic world in the sky full of clouds and gloomy. The setting of Chang'an City is that it has been surrounded by demons and famine in the city.

As with all online games, players enter the novice guide task as soon as they come up to familiarize themselves with the operation.

Most of the players who play this game are old fritters, and when playing other games, this kind of novice guide basically doesn't look at the content of the task and just follows the guide to pass.

But in Chang'an City of "Strange Rivers and Lakes", every novice guide task makes people feel an inexplicable depression.

The woman who helped her husband leave the city and still did not return put up a notice, delivered porridge to a child who was about to starve to death, and helped the owner of the winery to take out the last jar of wine from the cellar......

Soon, some of the players finally reached level ten.

Follow the guidance of the novice guide NPC in the game, go to the city gate to find the bad handsome to choose and accept the sect mission.

Unexpectedly, players can finally choose factions and factions from the rangers, learn new skills, and obtain sect-specific equipment.

When the game reached this point, a large number of players finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to complain;

"Nima, I've finally solved all the trivial problems in Chang'an City!

"TMD, Lao Tzu is here to roam the rivers and lakes, not to be the aunt of the neighborhood committee! And the atmosphere of this novice city makes people feel so desperate!"

"The game is deliberately planned, it's a faint soul! These NPCs are so sad! Can't you make it easy and fun!"

With a large number of complaints in the game's chat box, players finally arrived in front of the sect NPC "Bad Handsome".

"The world outside the city is strange and unpredictable, and the roads of the rivers and lakes are also full of dangers. Young man, before you choose to go out of the city to apprentice, go find a weapon to take advantage of. ”

"it!"

Seeing the bad marshal's request, everyone suddenly realized that they had been running in Chang'an City for almost an hour, and they were still holding the basic weapon [Broken Wooden Stick] in their hands!

"At the head of the city there is an old madman who is arrogant, and who says that he brings light to the whole city, and he has a good sword in his hand, and he may not need it. ”

With the guidance of the bad handsome, a large number of players scolded and went straight to the city.

Following the guidance, the players saw an NPC with a long sword on his back at the head of Chang'an City.

The NPC is an old man, looking like an old little old man, although he carries a long sword, but he can't see a trace of heroism, but looks like a craftsman.

Next to this NPC is a giant lantern that is twice as large as the corner tower.

And when the player talks to the old man and asks for a sword, the NPC gives such a line dialogue.

"You want my sword, yes, but you're going to help me find Fang Zheng for 10 Agni Oil. ”

"You...... Is it a lanternmaker?"

"Perhaps, even though my dream is to be a hero. ”

After having such a conversation with the NPC, the player can only curse and go to Fangzheng.

And in the conversation with Fang Zheng, it is said so;

"That madman is still making that big lantern?"

"I really don't understand that madman, when he was young, he said that he dreamed of becoming a hero one day, but in order to save the money for a sword, he made a lantern for a lifetime. ”

"A few years ago, when the demon clouds enveloped Chang'an, this madman who had passed the age of his sixtieth birthday suddenly said that he wanted to chase his youthful ambitions and be a hero with people's hopes. But instead of slaying the spirits, he carried a long sword on his back, but instead spent money and effort to make a lantern at the head of the city. What kind of hero is this? It's ridiculous!"

"That's it. The young man is young and promising, and he needs the sword of that madman to go out and roam the rivers and lakes, and the old decay will fulfill his crazy thoughts...... Young man, don't learn from that madman who doesn't do business and brags. After taking his sword, you must destroy the spirits on the edge of the city!"

In this way, the player got the key prop needed for the mission, the fire oil, and returned to the city.

After handing over the fire oil to Li Shixin, the player really got the task reward - the hero's long sword.

However, unlike other quests that are aborted after receiving a reward, after getting the sword, there is still dialogue;

Player: "I heard that your dream when you were young was to be a hero, why did you make this lantern, and you gave up your so-called dream?"

Li Shixin: "Hahaha, no, no, no! My dream is still to be a hero." ”

At this point in the conversation, the NPC makes the action of igniting the Flame Oil.

In the background music of the game, the huge lantern on the head of the city shines brightly.

And with the lighting of the superstar lantern, the entire gray and depressing Chang'an City was shrouded in light!

Seeing all the gloom in the scene dispelled by this light, the players in the game were shocked!

Hanging at the head of the city, under a lantern as dazzling as the warm sun, the player receives a quest reward.

At the same time, the NPC's dialogue pops up.

"When I was young, I did dream of one day being able to cut down the evil and the unjust. thought that the righteousness of the chivalry relied on the sword in his hand. But I didn't find out until I was old. A true chivalrous man is not a sword in his hand, but a thought in his heart! I am still on the road to chasing my dreams, but in a different way. Shaoxia, you can take this sword, I don't need it. ”

Ten units of fire oil only lasted for a short period of time. Chang'an City fell into the previous gloom again.

After getting the high-quality weapon called "Hero's Long Sword", the player completed all the main quests in Chang'an City, officially walked out of Chang'an City, and ran to the rivers and lakes.

When the player returns to Chang'an City later, most of the NPCs in the city will say the same thing.

Unlike the previous mourning, everyone seems to have hope.

"Have you seen that lantern at the head of the city? it is brighter than the sun when it is lit!"

"Although there is still no food and clothing, and there are still spirits outside the city, that lantern is lit up, it is really beautiful!"

And when the player talks to the bad handsome under the city gate, the dialogue becomes "With a pure heart, do not forget the original intention, do what you can, and bring light and hope to the world, it is a chivalry!

After joining the sect and unlocking the weapon upgrade skill, some attentive players also found that the [Hero's Long Sword] can actually be upgraded!

After upgrading to the Purple Hero quality, there will be an additional explanation in the weapon's information bar - there are always people who have their own dreams that will never be erased, and will illuminate the people in the dark in their own way. They don't have swords in their hands, but they are true chivalrous.

And those players who were infected by the moment of light at the head of Chang'an City logged in to the game forum, sent their game screenshots to the forum, and only found out when they blew up the NPCs of this task......

Lou Ye, a game planner, posted a post on the forum.

Inside, it is about the story behind the NPC Li Shixin, and the ins and outs behind this mission.

When they learned that this unforgettable character in the game came from a real-life old man who was sixty-six years old and fighting on the stage of "Trainee", the players were boiling!

It was at this time.

Lou Ye, who was saved by Li Shixin and had just returned to the company after a vacation, looked at the latest news on Li Shixin's Weibo, and gritted his teeth tightly. took a screenshot of Weibo and posted a post asking for help on the game forum;

"Brothers, Li Shixin, the prototype of Li Shixin's hero, now needs to vote for it. If you have time, can you stretch out your hands and go to the homepage of "Debut Trainee" to make a list for Xinye?"

"I'm rubbing! I just saw Xinye's deeds in Brother Ye's post, and I saw this! Fuck, this stupid beep show, such an interesting contestant didn't even praise it, and suppressed it? Go and go! Isn't it just a list? Brothers of the Shanhe Trade Union, go a wave!"

"Hehehehe, it's time to show the real skills! Lao Tzu has stayed up late for ten years to brush up on the skills he has practiced, is it still a matter to make a list? Brothers of the Xingchen Union, follow me!

in the hospital.

Li Shixin hung up the WeChat video with a group of old fans, and it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening.

Thanks to his wit, he specially called and told him.

Otherwise, a group of old fans who heard the news of his hospitalization from Weibo have already gathered in the small theater, and they will be killed in Rongzhou!

What a risk!

patted his chest, Li Shixin confessed his guilt, and turned on his old age machine that was hot because the video was too long.

When he opened his personal trainee homepage and saw his ranking, he was stunned......

More than an hour ago, it was still ranked 26th in popularity, and I don't know when, it has reached the eighteenth!

Looking at the comment area of the homepage, those netizens who seem to be major online game guilds, Li Shixin raised his eyebrows.

What's going on?

Old man, when did you have such a big appeal in the online game industry?

Could it be that the old man's talent can't be completely hidden?

Just when Li Shixin was puzzled, a private message popped up on Weibo.

"Mr. Li, I am the fool you saved on the rooftop that day, my name is Lou Ye, and I am a game planner. When I heard about the teacher's predicament, I was indignant. Please rest assured that the teacher will recuperate, don't worry about the list, I have launched a call in the player group to vote for the teacher to play the list, and push "Your Answer" on the music platform. Although it is not worth the teacher's life-saving grace, but please feel at ease. Come on!"

Oh huh?

Seeing this private message, Li Shixin raised his eyebrows.

Is that the kid on the rooftop?

As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter.

Is this the old man's blessing?
