Flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, almost in the blink of an eye, Qi Zhihao found that his surroundings were surrounded by endless monsters and troops from various myths and realities, and he was in the center of the battlefield.

In the next moment, two armies passed through his body, ignoring him as if he didn't exist in this world, and the fiercest battle began. Steel and steel collided, bursting fireballs spread all over the air, and corpses that were charred black or penetrated by sharp weapons fell in the sky from time to time, and then a strong light flashed, Qi Zhihao instinctively closed his eyes, and when he opened it again, everything before froze froze, like a worm in amber, which suddenly appeared in front of him as the background of something like an altar, and the words "Initial Landing Setting" appeared on the altar.

Qi Zhihao walked up to the altar, and the surrounding scene immediately transformed, and he himself became one with this altar, and the perspective changed to looking down at the center of the altar from the top of the altar.

"Please enter the name of the character you are building."

Qi Zhihao casually typed in the name of the character he had already thought of.

"Please enter a common code name." The system accepted Qi Zhihao's name and started the next prompt.

Qi Zhihao, who is familiar with "Balranta World", knows that this is a consistent feature of the games under the Thinking Field, that is, the character names are used for NPCs in the game world, and the code names are used for communication between players, so he is also prepared.

After that, the character settings are very detailed, from height, age, weight, hobbies, all kinds of settings, and after completion, a baby-like character appears in the center of the altar, crawling around awkwardly, while looking around curiously.

This is the role set by Qi Zhihao, and he is not surprised at all when he has already participated in the internal test. After clicking confirm, you will enter the random question session.

The number of questions ranges from 10 to 20 in total, and they are used to add to the background of the player character, as well as determine the various game attributes that the player character starts with. For example, there is a question about seeing a companion sliding down a hill, do you go to save someone? If you choose to save someone, there is a certain chance that you will be injured, and then the character will have an extra scar on his body or have different limb development. The initial attributes of Endurance and Agility will be adjusted according to specific injuries, and may even have some additional basic skills.

Qi Zhihao knew in the internal test that these questions were randomly generated, and even if the same question and answer led to different results, everything was unknown, and there was no certain answer at all. And in the end, there will be no qualitative difference in the character attributes obtained, they are all at a balance point, so there is no need to be too entangled at all, just answer casually according to your own ideas.

As the questions were answered, the babies in the altar kept growing. Wait until the last question is answered. The baby has turned into a young man in a cloth suit, which is what Qi Zhihao's character in the game looks like.

After making all the selections, Qi Zhihao chose to enter the game. After dark, he was already standing on a stone path similar to that in an ancient city, with grass growing in the crevices of the stone path, old houses on the side, and NPC natives around him, all doing their own things. When the words are spoken, everything seems real and natural. It's like real life in some remote towns.

Because it was not the first time he had seen this scene, Qi Zhihao was not too surprised, but directly called up his attribute interface, and after watching his attributes for a while, he switched to the inventory, and immediately found a scroll icon in the first position of it.

Click on this icon and select the Take Out column in the selection box that appears. Then Qi Zhihao saw that he had an extra scroll of animal skin with the length of his forearm.

The scroll was pulled open, and a seven-pointed star pattern suddenly appeared. Qi Zhihao placed the open scroll on the ground, chose to activate, and a bright light immediately emerged, turning into a pillar of light that pierced the sky. The surrounding NPC natives are unaware of this, and continue their previous behavior.

A figure slowly emerged from the pillar of light, and the moment she walked out, the pillar of light disappeared, revealing her true face, which was none other than Qi Zhihao's Heroic Companion Baflia, and the scroll turned to ashes, never to be found again.

A week before the open beta, the Storm platform opened the NPC cross-regional chaos system to accept players' application for opening, and Qi Zhihao applied before the open beta, allowing Baflia to come to this new game world with him.

The heroic female warrior walked out, wearing the same cloth clothes as other player characters, no different from the player at all, and seeing the same situation Qi Zhihao, who saw his heroic spirit, was also a little stunned.

Looking around left and right, and then looking at Qi Zhihao in front of him, Baffolia patted him on the shoulder and smiled with satisfaction: "It looks like this is a good world, let's work together." ”

"Well, of course." Qi Zhihao smiled, smiling brightly.

……

Qi Zhihao was familiar with the process at the beginning of the game, so his speed was the fastest in this Internet café, and he quickly entered the official game process according to experience, which is a few exceptions. And those players who are not familiar with it will be better to be familiar with the basic operation in the front, and the setting that seems to be a little complicated in the back is a headache for them, if it weren't for the opening picture shocked before, they were now fed by a variety of one-click simple operation games, and they gave up directly.

By the time they enter the initial city, it's usually ten minutes after the start of the open beta, but fortunately, the game doesn't bother them behind, making it easy for them to gather in the square of the city where they are located.

All of the game's initial cities look very shabby, looking like small towns in the countryside, and the squares are better, but they can only be said to be spacious and flat, and there are no more.

Because the first time you log in to the game, the initial city is directly assigned according to the location of the IP, so most of these gathered players are in the same city, and even in the same Internet café, plus many of them also apply for the transfer of Heroic Spirits, and some of the Heroic Spirits that are no different from the players are mixed in, which is very surprising to the players, so they quickly set up friendship with each other, and it was extremely lively for a while.

It didn't take long for the NPC city lord to appear on the high platform on the side of the square and announce the initial mission.

And with the announcement of the NPC city lord, players in each city remembered the system prompt in their ears, and then a new book icon appeared in the attribute panel, and after clicking on it, a book that could be flipped through will appear in the player's hand, and all the tasks that can be completed are in it.

In the beginning there are three main routes, or what can also be called the choice for the player.

The first is to become a subordinate manor lord of the city, that is, to sign a contract with the city lord, and become a subordinate relationship with the city lord, and then the city lord will hand over the manor around a city to the player to manage. The advantage of this choice is that the manor has a certain foundation from the beginning, it is relatively easy to develop, and it will be protected by the army of the city lord without having to face the invaders from the outside; As for the disadvantage, 50% of all the income of the manor must be handed over to the city lord, and in addition, the three tasks assigned by the city lord must be completed voluntarily and without remuneration in each game year.

The second is to become the contract developer of the city, that is, to sign a development contract with the city lord, obtain a new castle heart from the city lord in the form of a loan, and then go to the city outside the city to build a new manor, 30% of the manor's income is handed over to the city owner to repay the loan and interest, and after paying off, the fee will be reduced to 10% as the rent for the use of the land. Under this route, players can have limited access to the protection and intelligence support of the city lord's army, and at the same time, the degree of freedom is high, except for the emergency war call-up order, the player can choose to accept or decline the mission issued by the city lord. In order to sign a development contract, the player must have a certain amount of credit and pay an initial development fee, which must be obtained by completing various missions in the city.

The third route is the Pioneer, which has nothing to do with the original city, so the player will not be restrained by the NPC and has 100% freedom. Of course, the corresponding thing is that the player also needs to rely on himself for everything, without the help of the initial city, he cannot build a manor castle in the territory of the initial city, and he also needs to deal with the invasion of the outside world independently, and the initial desire to buy the castle heart is also a lot of money, which is not something that the newcomer at the beginning can make up in a short time.

These three routes are not fixed and cannot be changed, and players can choose a more suitable route according to their own situation at any time as the game progresses.

In addition, the tasks of the city will appear in the player's task book, and the time required to complete each task, the required attributes, the amount of money obtained and the amount of physical energy consumed are different, and a certain credit value will be obtained according to the difficulty of the task, and this credit value will directly determine the player's status and treatment in the city.

After reading the details of the mission, many players immediately began to discuss, obviously, these tasks are completely different from the task of killing monsters and looting treasures, they do not need to fight and kill, they are all things that build the city, and they are also divided into agriculture, commerce, culture, technology, city defense and other categories, which can not only allow players to carry out initial accumulation, but also allow them to familiarize themselves with the construction and management of the manor castle in the game by the way.

Some of the more detailed players can say that in addition to taxes, trials, and the army, the NPC city lord has released all other internal affairs to the player as a task.

It didn't take long for players to get a glimpse of how the game was going and how it was going to work. Some of the players who are completely oriented to building castles and cultivating elements directly choose to become subordinate to the manor owner, go to a special location to sign a contract and go to their own manor to start playing.

Other players start to take on various tasks according to their own situation, and in these missions, players also begin to experience the fun of the missions. Because most of the missions are not solo and require everyone to work together to complete them, many players and Heroic Spirits have participated, and through cooperation, everyone began to get acquainted with each other and talk to each other, and gradually made various friends - both players and Heroic Spirits, and began to form small groups.
