07. Shadow
The name Shadow Dance sounds pretty dark, but it has the same shadow character as myself. Lin Ziyue confirmed the friend's request and immediately received a private chat from the other party.
Shadow Dance: Are you busy?
Lin Ziyue replied: "It's nothing, what's the matter?"
Shadow Dance: Speed out of town
At the same time as this secret chat, there was also an invitation to form a team, Lin Ziyue accepted this invitation, and asked him while walking out of the city, "Is something wrong?"
Shadow Dance: No
Lin Ziyue saw this reply, tripped under her feet, and almost fell on the ground.
"Then why are you going out of the city at a speed, I thought your administrator was looking for me!"
Shadow Dance: Don't talk about management, I'm a player now, and as a player, you have to be a player
Lin Ziyue has finally completely believed the words of the Sky City Knight, and this programmer or something like that does seem to be a bit weird.
"Where are I looking for you out of town?"
Shadow Dance: I'll share the coordinates with you
Then a small window popped up, with a string of numbers on it, and a small arrow indicating the direction, Lin Ziyue couldn't help but sigh at the meticulous and subtle procedures of the illusory world, and then followed the arrow to guide to the outside of the city, after walking out of the city gate, it took about a few minutes to get to the location of the shadow dance, and she turned around in place but didn't see anyone, she was about to send a message to the shadow dance to ask where he was, but someone patted her on the shoulder, turned back to the left, but didn't see anyone, it is better to say that the players who are far away from the road have not seen few.
Then from the transparent air, a masked black-clad assassin gradually emerged.
"Wow!!" Lin Ziyue was so frightened that she instantly summoned the skeleton staff and held it in her hand, and then realized that this guy was Shadow Dance.
The shadow pulled down the black cloth covering his face, leaked a very delicate face, and smiled at her shyly: "It actually scared you?
Lin Ziyue scratched her head and waved her staff fiercely at this guy: "I think you owe a beating!"
In the next second, the figure flickered, and Lin Ziyue felt something sharp and cold against her neck, and she was silent in an instant.
"Look, you can't have beaten me. After speaking, the shadow withdrew the dagger in his hand, Lin Ziyue looked back at him, the smile on the shadow's face was still so shy and gentle, with his somewhat delicate appearance, there was quite a strong bewilderment, Lin Ziyue was a little in a trance, thinking that the person who put the dagger against his neck just now was not him.
This man is dangerous, dangerous!
"You've been watching me yesterday, so after the meeting, the eldest sister talked to me privately, and asked me to take you to level up while playing the game, so it's always convenient to watch you, anyway, you're a weak spirit medium with no power, and it seems that you can't do anything." The shadow took a few steps back, and the smile was like a mask, unchanging on its face.
Lin Ziyue sighed secretly in her heart, sure enough, that group of administrators would not let themselves go around casually, they still didn't trust themselves, after all, the Phantom World was their hard work, and they had to be responsible for the Phantom World. Then she looked down at her staff, which only had a small physical damage, but had no spirit skills that could directly attack, and she couldn't help but get more and more headaches, and she could only follow behind this dangerous element first.
"Let's go, I'm really not familiar with the game, so I'm going to fight monsters somewhere and you can lead the way. ”
"Let's go, then. The shadow nodded, and the expression of the skin smiling was not smiling, which made Lin Ziyue feel depressed, "But I am not responsible for your death, in the illusion world, anything is possible, you know?"
The corners of Lin Ziyue's eyes twitched: "Even if you die, I have resurrection skills to resurrect you, and you can leave it to me with peace of mind." The shadow's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Lin Ziyue as if he had discovered a new world.
"What?" Lin Ziyue muttered dissatisfied.
"You're quite interesting, dare to encourage yourself to export the assistance of dying, you're probably the only one in the world, is it the first time you've played an online game?" The shadow didn't look so fake this time, but Lin Ziyue felt more and more that he was underbeaten, so he didn't answer, and the two walked forward quietly.
The two walked through a hill, this seems to be a leveling area for players to fight monsters, here is often a group of people around a cow, swarming up and hacking to death, and then running to the next one, all of them are running back and forth in groups of three or five, Lin Ziyue pointed to the cow, and before she could ask, the shadow spoke first: "So low-level monsters fight too slowly, and there are so many people here, it's very annoying, if you don't mind causing any trouble, you can go and try it with them." ”
Lin Ziyue still wanted to say something, and then saw that the two teams of players over there seemed to be an argument, and began to scold each other without saying a few words, and then crackled into a ball, and from time to time there were spells or bows and arrows flying out of the crowd, affecting the players next to them, and as a result, more and more people were involved. She immediately shut up and followed closely behind the shadow, and the two of them hurried forward.
The two of them walked into the woods, and kept moving forward for a while, Lin Ziyue saw a ghostly light floating through the forest from time to time, and couldn't help but take a few steps to the shadow.
"You can't do it, right? Seeing that you can save Snowy in the dungeon, you should be quite brave. ”
The shadow's words immediately made Lin Ziyue stop, and she reflexively retreated to the side, so vigilant that she aimed her skull staff at the shadow, her face full of surprise.
The shadow laughed again, although he looked quite innocent, but the light in his eyes was extremely indifferent: "The reaction is good, and the IQ is also good, but it's a pity that it's too simple, right?
Lin Ziyue didn't reply, she looked at her vigilantly, leaned back slightly, and her back was tightly pressed against a big tree.
This time, he changed to a shadow with a face full of surprise, and then he changed into that mask-like smirk again: "Anyway, that script is a set of game data, yes, but if I hadn't done anything with the abnormal data, you probably wouldn't have been able to pass, my original intention was to make the game's viruses and bugs more entertaining, but ......" He glanced at Lin Ziyue helplessly, " I really didn't expect a novice to be able to clear the customs by accident.,After all, the ability of psychics,It's quite unpopular.,Random players go into a level 0.,Under the protection of the novice, she didn't trigger any battle.,As a result, she also has psychic ability.,All the way through the negotiation with the NPCs of the dead to get through...... Alas. ”
Lin Ziyue suddenly asked a series of questions: "So you know about the existence of abnormal data, why don't you tell others? Now that you know why you didn't solve it but did it? Could it be that you made the script? So crazy ......?"
"It's not. The shadow stiffly interrupted Lin Ziyue's words, and this time his smile disappeared, replaced by an unusually serious and thoughtful expression, "That abnormal data was locked, and I did my best to change it, but my permission couldn't delete it directly, so I tried to give the player a little more possibility to clear the level, and it turned out that I succeeded." After speaking, he smiled at Lin Ziyue again, but this time his smile was full of confidence and pride, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have to play games with a drag bottle at this time." ”
Lin Ziyue raised her eyebrows, not knowing what to say, the two of them confronted each other stiffly.
After dozens of seconds, a voice sounded in Lin Ziyue's ears: "Wow, is this a tryst in the woods? Who will confess first?"
"I'm going!someone?!Who's over there!!Come out!" Lin Ziyue bounced off the trunk of the tree, vigilantly holding the staff to point at the tree, and then holding the staff to point to the shadow, back and forth between the tree and the person several times.
"What's your nerve?" the shadow frowned at her sudden move, "it's just us." ”
"I heard the sound just now, and it came from the tree. Lin Ziyue stood motionless against the staff, and she felt that this unknown voice was more suspicious than the known weird administrator.
"What's the matter?,Is there a sudden turnaround?Is it the woman's confession?,It's really a soul state that can't hear the player's conversation...... Eh, why is the woman pointing around with her staff?"
When Lin Ziyue heard this voice say this, she suddenly realized something, and then went directly behind the tree, and sure enough, she saw a soul floating in the air looking here, and then looked at her, and then she saw the player's corpse under the soul, the one dressed in leather armor and holding a machete, presumably a dead player...... At this time, the shadow also followed her around, and after seeing the player's corpse, he also froze for a moment, then looked at Lin Ziyue and asked, "Can you see and hear the player's dead soul?"
Lin Ziyue nodded, then raised the skull staff, cast a spell in the illusory world for the first time, and performed her first chant: "Sorrow from the abyss, please open the door of the underworld for me, let me follow the footsteps of the undead, and return life to the decaying world again." I saw a gray light float out from the skull, shrouded in the corpse of the female player, the soul of the female player who had been floating around was instantly sucked back into the body, she opened her eyes and looked at her body in surprise, and then touched it up and down, as if she felt that she might be missing arms and legs, and then looked at Lin Ziyue with a look of admiration.
The shadow watched quietly as Lin Ziyue waved her staff to cast spells, and when the woman came back to life and shouted, her face showed a puzzled look, and then she seemed to remember something, and her expression suddenly found it difficult to maintain her calmness.
Lin Ziyue noticed that his face was not quite right, thinking that he disliked this female warrior, and was about to open her mouth to tell the female warrior to calm down, but found that the system prompted that her team had been disbanded, and then she received a secret chat from the shadow.
Shadow Dance: It's a little bit wrong.,Normal psychic in order to prevent cheating between players.,It's going to be set to be limited to NPCs.,I'll go offline first to check something.,You go to the task to upgrade first.,If you want to fight monsters, it's really not okay to team up with this guy.,Look at her seems to be a warrior who can fight professionally.,I identified the lower level There are more than twenty levels.,It should be enough to take you.。
Lin Ziyue turned her head to look at him, and before she could say anything The shadow figure became transparent, and then disappeared, it seemed that she had used stealth skills to flash people, probably going back to the city and going offline, Lin Ziyue had no choice but to think. The phantom world can only be offline in the main city, and only the specified safe area can be offline in the wild, if it is forcibly offline, it may cause problems with the player character, which has been emphasized many times in the game novice profile, but there are still many players on the forum who forcibly go offline in the wild, and then collect various bugs and character problems for fun......
"You're so powerful! I've never heard of it in the illusory world!" The female warrior shook Lin Ziyue's shoulder, looking excited, but Lin Ziyue felt that she was shaking and was about to vomit, so she hurriedly stopped her and asked her why she was here.
"Me, I did a task to climb a tree to dig a bird's nest, but I was attacked by a group of crows, and I fell down after stepping on the air, and I was pecked off a lot of blood, and I died under the tree after falling, if it weren't for you, I would have to wait ten minutes before I could be resurrected on the spot! You are simply my savior!" The female warrior shook Lin Ziyue's shoulders excitedly, completely ignoring Lin Ziyue's pale face.
There are two options after death in the fantasy world, one is to wait for thirty minutes and then resurrect in place, at this time the soul will float in the sky, but nothing can be done, and the other is to teleport back to the last saved safe point to resurrect, but this is often far from the destination, so although fifteen minutes is a little longer, a small number of players can only wait patiently.
"Let's go, I'll take you on a mission......! Hmm, level 10, so low!Just came out of the novice village, you said yes? You call Lin Zhongyue Shadow, just call you Moon Shadow, Lin Zhong sounds weird!" The female warrior was very heroic and patted Lin Ziyue's shoulder, "Sister will take you! Twenty-third level! Soon! Let's go! Ah, by the way, I called a cage of meat buns, you can call me meat buns!"
"Good...... Okay, I'll still call you a bun, two words are ...... in passing" Lin Ziyue smiled bitterly, she suddenly missed the black-bellied shadow, and then she opened the friends list and scanned it, the shadow has been displayed offline, and the level will also be displayed in the friends list, the shadow is actually level 39, which makes her sigh for a while, she is worthy of being a game administrator, and she must have spent a lot of time playing games.
Pulled by Baozi, the two of them went to a small village where a nearby NPC lived, and the eggs picked up by Baozi had to be handed over to the children in the village, Lin Ziyue also planned to find some tasks, while doing it to upgrade, while chatting with Baozi, after all, she was still a superb novice after her tenth level was promoted, although she knew all aspects of the phantom world from the forum and the official website, but after all, she hadn't played normally, and at this time, there was a companion who was mixed to more than twenty levels on the side, and she also felt a little more down-to-earth. What made Lin Ziyue happy was that although Baozi asked about the shadow after being resurrected, after seeing Lin Ziyue's embarrassed look, she immediately put on a bad smile of "I understand you" and never mentioned this topic, although Lin Ziyue knew that Baozi had misunderstood something, but she was also relieved that she didn't have to explain the matter of the strange administrator.
The two formed a team, sending things back and forth in the village to run errands, or helping with this and that task, and after about a few hours, Lin Ziyue was promoted to level thirteen, and Baozi also reached level twenty-four.
At this time, it was just noon in the game, so Lin Ziyue even received a task of preparing a meal with Baozi, so Baozi cut two pheasants running around in the village and handed them to Lin Ziyue to barbecue, Lin Ziyue couldn't help but be glad that he could cook, otherwise this task would have to fail. The two of them sat by the stove, and the chicken was stewed in the pot, so the two had nothing to do and chatted.
"You can cook, that's amazing...... Since I set the kitchen on fire, my mom hasn't let me in. The bun smelled the aroma wafting from the pot and snorted. (ˉˉ)
Lin Ziyue waved her hand embarrassedly: "No, it's a skill learned in the game, I just make instant noodles and cook quick-frozen dumplings or something in reality!" But this game is very realistic, and the smell is no different from the stewed chicken in the restaurant." ”
Baozi laughed out loud and slapped the table: "That's not it! You don't know, the application of bioelectric technology in the phantom world is known as the pinnacle of the world! The things they simulate in the human brain can almost reach the level of complete restoration!"
"But if the pain sensation is also simulated, isn't it dangerous for the player to die when he dies?"
Baozi winked at her: "You're leaking, right? Completely newbie! If it really hurts, who else will play? The pain in the game has been reduced by 70%, and the pain when dying is only simulated on the character, and the pain you can feel is almost negligible!"
Lin Ziyue remembered that when she was kicked away by the demon Sinuo, her body was in sharp pain as if she had been knocked away, smacked her lips, and talked about other topics: "By the way, we have been on a mission for so long, why haven't we got a single piece of equipment?
When Baozi heard her words, he laughed again: "Hahaha! The drop rate of the Phantom World equipment in the field is very small.,Basically, only the copy is available.,Let's go to the dungeon to play later.,If you're lucky enough to complete it.,Maybe you can get random equipment rewards.,Money,,It's because the Phantom World Gold Price is generally more expensive.,After all, the official channel for exchanging the display currency for the Phantom World Gold Coin hasn't been opened.,The gold coin circulation is small.,And your level is so low.,Of course, the task is much simpler.,Naturally, the money reward is much less!
Lin Ziyue was pulling around with the bun like this, but she sorted out a lot of information about the illusory world little by little, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, sure enough, it was better to have an enthusiastic old driver to lead the way. After the two of them finished their tasks, Baozi patted her chest and wanted to take her to see the copy of the phantom world.
"After playing a few dungeons, you'll be amazed and fall in love with the Phantom World!"
Looking at Baozi's excited appearance, Lin Ziyue smiled bitterly, this guy is really full of vitality.
