1. Ghost Village
The doorbell rings.
When Lin Ziyue received the express delivery from the game warehouse, she had just put a pot of water on the electronic stove.
Then her pot was burned out again. She carried the leaky kettle, removed the smoke sensor to avoid the automatic alarm, she opened the vent of the range hood to the maximum, and in order to get away from the smell of burnt kitchen, she went to the living room, sat down on the game pod, and scolded where the hell this came from.
I argued with the courier at the door for nearly half an hour just now, no matter how she explained that she didn't make an appointment for any game cabin in the fantasy world, the courier maintained the spirit that delivery to her home would never be wrong, and she insisted that it was hers, and Lin Ziyue repeatedly determined the address, it was really her home, but she checked the bank account of her electronic ID, so poor funds, she couldn't afford to buy such an expensive game cabin, and there was no purchase history of this game cabin in the account records, but the mail of this game cabin was her nameγ In the midst of such an argument, she managed to burn the third kettle of the month.
So she was so helpless that she had to accept this brand new game cabin.
Hehe, there's a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu in YY novels.
Lin Ziyue gently patted the game cabin under her, and her heart was mixed - she hated being indebted, very annoying, which made her feel like she was being grabbed by someone, she really saw twenty pieces dropped on the ground, and she would feel that she owed a favor and didn't pick it up (yes, stupid and stubborn.
Touching her electronic ID, Lin Ziyue felt a hint of impatience in her heart. The needs of the phantom world are very simple, there are three kinds of game clients, game cabins, game seats and game helmets, the cheapest game helmet and smartphone have a price, the most expensive game cabin is nearly 200,000, and with the client, as long as the electronic ID is loaded, everyone can automatically load the independent account identified by the ID, and only a permanently bound virtual character can be established under the same account. In this era of ID in hand and global use, in addition to lost or no birth record, electronic ID is a must-have for everyone.
After hesitating for a long time, the vain self-esteem still did not resist the curiosity after all, Lin Ziyue gritted her teeth, stuffed the leaky pot into the trash can, and began to unpack it.
Under the package, there is a game pod with a dark blue base and a dark glass lid. Lin Ziyue has not played holographic online games, when the application of holographic technology first came out, she also followed the trend to play a martial arts online game when she just went to college, but she could only afford to buy a helmet, and then in the game for some personal reasons, she never used the helmet again, and sold it directly on the Internet, that was the first time she played an online game and the last time, and now five years have passed, in this era of rapid change, five years is enough for a technology makeover, and the luxury game cabin, she has only seen it on the Internet or TVγ
Lin Ziyue simply lay on top of the glass cover, thinking that this thing seemed to be good to sleep in bed in the legend, and then stuffed her electronic ID into the card slot on the glass cover. A burst of white lines suddenly spread along the card slot, along the staggered vertical and horizontal lines, instantly covered the entire glass cover, and then a "ding", it has become a white game hatch cover slowly rose, the interior of the game cabin appeared in front of Lin Ziyue's eyes, the red cushion has a bulge on the head, this game cabin is a little narrower, basically a bed.
Curious to lie down inside, Lin Ziyue found that there were several buttons on her right hand, which were written sleep mode, timer mode and normal mode, so she lay down inside and pressed the normal mode.
A standard friendly electronic female voice came from the game pod: "Welcome to the **UVWP game pod of the Phantom Company, the profile is loading, it may take a little longer to load it for the first time, please wait." Then the glass lid was slowly closed, and Lin Ziyue closed her eyes, waiting anxiously for the game to start.
In the darkness, the sense of time also became blurred, and I don't know if it was tens of seconds or minutes, the female voice came again: "Thank you for your patience, the game is loading your avatar, please do not move." This time, very quickly, when Lin Ziyue counted his heart beating about 30 times, the system heard a voice again: "Loading is complete, please determine the name, basic clothing and fine-tune the appearance." β
The light blue light lit up, Lin Ziyue seemed to see a mirror, the woman in the mirror closed her eyes, behind her was different shades of blue slowly fluttering, a little fluorescence around the body, in addition to the face and hair color, the black hair of the opposite woman was raised high with a hairpin, not like she had to be draped over her shoulders, she was wearing an ancient military uniform, embroidered with a fiery red peony on her chest, and carrying a spear on her back, like a heroine.
Lin Ziyue felt a little wet on her face, and reached out to touch the image, only to find that her hand passed through the virtual character. It was a virtual image that he had established and had used for three years, and at this time, it was presented in front of him like a real person, and Lin Ziyue even felt a little suffocated.
The system seemed to detect her emotions and agitation, and the electronic female voice asked, "Do you need to recreate the avatar?"
Lin Ziyue shouted without hesitation: "Rebuild!!"
"The image is being rebuilt, please wait. β
Seeing the woman in military uniform in front of her turn into a little fluorescent, Lin Ziyue's heart was full of sadness and emotion. Whatever happened in the past, it's all in the past, isn't it?
Lin Ziyue watched the face that was exactly the same as herself turn into a point of light. She suddenly heard a smile and said goodbye to her very softly: "Goodbye." "Is that the voice yourself?
Before she could think about it any more, the new image had been constructed, and it was still the same face, but the hair of the shawl was tied by a purple headband and a ponytail on her shoulders, and the figure was dressed in a very ordinary cloth robe, and held a long staff with the head of an eagle in her right hand.
Lin Ziyue's heart moved. The brown cloth robe on the character's body has changed into a black hoodie, the lower body has changed into loose cloth pants, and the feet are still wearing cloth shoes set by the system, but the staff in the right hand has become a skull shape, and a thin sword leaks from the end of the cane, and then she has designed a circle of opal bracelets and a five-pointed star necklace for the figure in her left hand.
Looking at her character carefully, Lin Ziyue looked at the character's plain face, unlike herself with glasses in reality, of course the virtual character will not be short-sighted, but this appearance is ...... Sighing, because it was too bland, it seemed that there was nothing worth changing the beauty at all, but it was impossible for her to change her ugliness, so she simply didn't move anything.
If you want ...... name, "Let's call it 'Moon Shadow in the Forest'." β
"The character is successfully established, the name is successful, and the virtual character is loaded. β
As soon as the female voice of the system fell, Lin Ziyue felt a whirlwind of the world, and then when her feet stepped on the soft grass and the smell of earth came from her body, she knew that she had entered the game. The system prompt sounded again: "Your appearance can be adjusted in the character interface, the basic appearance has been locked, and the appearance of equipment can also be adjusted in the character interface." β
Lin Ziyue thought about opening the character interface, and a virtual screen opened in front of her. On the left is a list of character statuses, appearances, and equipment slots, while on the right are inventory slots and skill slots. At this time, the avatar displayed on the character's appearance is the one she just set up, and in the equipment column, only the right-hand weapon, bracelet and necklace are there, and other than that, the headdress, earrings, top, cape, bottoms, shoes and left-handed weapon are all empty. It seems that the hoodie and the newbie costume automatically set by the system are not counted in the equipment, only the things she set herself. Lin Ziyue stretched out her hand and clicked on the small frame of the weapon, and suddenly a much smaller new window opened, and the detailed information of the weapon was displayed:
Name: Staff Sword (growable, bound)
Reinforcement: None
Attributes:Underweight physical damage,Underweight mana damage,?
Incidental skills?
Additional attributes?
Introduction: Are you a mage or a swordsman?
Lin Ziyue smiled bitterly, the irony of this game is quite strong. It's been a month since the Phantom World was launched.,Because of the extremely popular reason,,She has also heard of some of the settings of this game.,Such as attributes.,From very small,Small,Medium,Large,Large,Special,There are six levels,Among them, special has always been a magical level that has been spread by people.,Because no one has seen a special-level weapon so far.,And the level of weapons and equipment is also divided into six grades.,White,Green,Blue,Purple,Yellow,Orange,Among them, Huang Wu has already been started.,But Orange Wu is the same as special attributes.,It's a legendary existence.γ However, according to various discussion threads on the forum, almost all weapons outside the store have the word "growth" on them, while the weapons and equipment provided by NPCs in the store have absolutely no three words, and it seems that these weapons that are not sold by the system have their own special ways to improve.
Lin Ziyue turned off the weapon information, looked at the few pieces of bread for restoring physical strength sent in the backpack bar, and the empty skill bar, feeling a little dazed, and looked at the state of the character, displaying:
Moon shadow in the forest
Level 1 Newbie Protection
No anomalous status
No teaming
No guilds
No mercenary groups
Murderous aura: 0
Then Lin Ziyue chose to close the interface, and a prompt box popped up: "Do you want to hide the information?"
Lin Ziyue casually clicked yes and looked around.
Her birth point is under a lush locust tree, it seems to be outside the novice village, this is a little strange, she thinks like this, online games or something, isn't it generally in the village, there is an NPC with a guide, such as a kind village chief or a beautiful boy or girl, and then follow the novice guide to upgrade the task, 10 teleported into the main city? Lin Ziyue thought back to the novice guide written by others on the forum, and always felt that her situation was not right.
Looking up, the village is actually at the foot of the mountain not far ahead, and there is a small river flowing slowly from the side, looking at the peaceful atmosphere.
"Hey, I'm here for the Newbie Village. Lin Ziyue muttered to herself, holding her cane, and trotted all the way towards the village.
Then she stood at the entrance of the village, stunned at the sign that was supposed to bear the name of the village.
It reads: Huai Village. There was a horizontal line on the Huai character, which seemed to be carved by the tip of some kind of sharp knife, and there were blood stains around it.
Lin Ziyue stared blankly for a while, and there was no sound at all around her. She suddenly reacted, a little abnormal, no matter how quiet the village is, there can't be no birds or insects around, this place is so quiet, something must have happened here.
Is it haunted? The crossed-out word lingered in her mind.
She pulled out the sword in the staff, holding a half-human-tall thin sword in her right hand, and the scabbard at the end of the staff in her left hand, and then a crisp system prompt sounded: "The staff form has been split successfully, occupying the weapon grid in the left hand." The skull at the tip of the sword in the right hand suddenly dissolved, and the skull with a smiling smile appeared at the hole after the cane in the left hand was half a short cut, Lin Ziyue couldn't help but open the character interface in confusion, and found that the staff was displayed in the weapon column of the left hand:
Name: Staff Sword - Staff Form (Growable, Bind)
Reinforcement: None
Attributes: Very little physical damage, medium mana damage
Side Skill: Hell yes
Additional attribute: Spirit
The right-hand column shows the rapier:
Name: Staff Sword - Sword Form (Growable, Bind)
Reinforcement: None
Attributes: Medium physical damage, very little mana damage
Incidental Skill: See the Needle
Additional Attribute: Ice
Lin Ziyue was dumbfounded.
That's fine?!!
She hurriedly opened the skills interface and looked at the two extra skills.
Hell: Open the door of the spiritual vision, a hundred ghosts walk at night, as far as the eye can see, the second secondary school must-have.
Passive state
Weapons are permanently active
See the stitches: Everyone has flaws, and a sword breaks everything.
An active skill that can be cast when the target is stabbed, consumes 2 skill points and has a cooldown of 3 minutes. Suppresses the fire element, slowing the target for 5 seconds, with a 10% chance to freeze the target for 3 seconds and inflict 6 seconds of delay
Weapons are permanently active
Lin Ziyue closed the skill interface, and couldn't help but smack her tongue secretly, according to the setting of the phantom world, if everyone can set their own weapons, this game will probably be varied.
Then she looked up and saw a young girl lying on a wooden sign at the entrance of the village, looking at her with a smile.
"Wow!" Lin Ziyue couldn't help but shout, it was too sudden.
"Hee-hee. The girl just smiled at her.
"You, how long have you been here?"
"It's always there, big sister, didn't you see it?"
"Yes, yes......"
Lin Ziyue coughed embarrassedly, and then pointed to the wooden sign and asked the girl, "Do you know what happened in this village?"
The girl just kept laughing.
"Who are you?" the girl did not answer.
"Why is this sign crossed out?" the girl laughed.
"Is there anyone else here?" the girl still smiled.
"Do you know anyone here who needs my help?" the girl still looked at Lin Ziyue with a smile.
Lin Ziyue was a little impatient and said, "Are there dead people here?"
The girl finally reacted, the smile on her face disappeared, and she looked at Lin Ziyue coldly.
Lin Ziyue suddenly chuckled in her heart, worried about whether she had triggered some vicious plot.
"Of course there are dead people, there are too many dead people, and there are no living people left. β
After the girl said this sentence with a cold face, she pounced on Lin Ziyue, Lin Ziyue raised her sword, but the sword body passed through the girl's body, and the girl directly penetrated her and disappeared.
It turns out that this wooden sign is this meaning, and it is crossed out to represent no wood.
Huai Wumu, isn't that a ghost?
