Haven't seen the ceiling.

Roland opened his eyes and saw that above his head, there was a huge stone statue of a woman, with a black rock surface, there seemed to be a faint flow of green light, but when he looked closely, he couldn't see anything.

He sat up and found himself lying on a cyan stone platform, somewhat like a medieval ritual table, with a cold and rough surface.

There was a strange smell in the air, and he looked around, and found that under the statue of the goddess not far behind him, there was a strange bunch of burning grass, which looked a bit like wormwood, but the edges of the leaves were a little more jagged.

Wait a minute...... Flavor?

Does it really smell? And the touch? Roland touched the altar again, felt the roughness and coldness of its surface, and sniffed it harder, and now he not only smelled the strange fragrance of burning forage, but also smelled the stone building in the air, the slight astringent smell of stone.

Is it really a virtual online game, and not hypnotized? And so real...... Roland looked at his hands, white and slender, very much in line with the image of the spellcaster.

He pinched his arm again, and it hurt...... Not obviously, though. This is not surprising, after all, before entering the game, the official announcement has already said that the pain in the game is only one-tenth of what it is in reality.

Roland stood up on the stone platform and looked around, it was a stone building, a statue of a goddess, a sacrificial platform, and several neat rows of stone chairs in front of it, judging from the arrangement and furnishings, this should be a small church.

Jumping off the altar, Roland looked at his body, wearing a gray-brown linen coat, which was very rough and uncomfortable. He wore a pair of ugly linen shoes on his feet, and the soles were extremely thin, and when he stepped on the ground, he could feel the cold and piercing stones.

It's true...... Roland sighed and stroked the altar, the real stone touch, his fingertips could touch the particles on the surface of the stone, and there was no difference from reality. He didn't expect that the game was really a real virtual game as Penguin advertised, and not the kind of VR inferior product that deceived the senses.

When did my country have this kind of exaggerated black technology...... And it was the first Penguin company to be applied to the game. Roland sighed in his heart, the virtual cabin of 50,000 yuan was not bought in vain, it was indeed worth it.

He was about to continue to observe his surroundings and adjust to his new body when the old wooden door of the church opened.

In the sound of the rotten wood creaking, an old man with a hunched waist walked in, his eyebrows were white, very long, slanted to the edge of his thin cheeks, his eyelids were so high that they almost covered the pupils, and he was also wearing a white robe, the middle of which was embroidered with the logo of a big blue tree.

Before entering the game, Roland went to the official website to make up for the basic knowledge of this game world, if I am not mistaken, this dress is the standard clothing of the God of Life Cult, and it is generally only worn by the priest of the Temple of Life.

When the old man saw Roland, he was first taken aback, and then showed a relieved look.

A short change of expression, whether it is the muscle movements on the cheeks or the eyes of oneself, is no different from a real person, not like an NPC in the game at all.

In previous VR games, no matter how realistic the characters were, the change of expression has always been a flaw in the behavior of NPCs, even if muscle texture capture is used, no matter how rich the expressions of NPCs are, when switching expressions, it will give people a feeling of uncanny valley.

But now, Roland feels like he's met a real person...... It won't be any other player.

Soon he dismissed the idea. He was one of the first to enter the game, and the player couldn't have become a priest so quickly, and most importantly...... The player can only enter the game as a young human, and in front of him is an old man in his twilight years.

But the other party is too much like a real person, even if the other party didn't speak, just stood there quietly looking at himself, Roland felt that the other party was a real person.

The eyes, the posture, the tightness of the skin with the muscles pulling when blinking, the age spots, the yellowing of the skin that already does not seem to have much moisture, and even the temples of the elderly, faintly jumping because of the flow of blood.

Roland is not a professional in game production, but he has played a lot of games, from Pac-Man back then, to the current boutique VR games, even if the current games have been able to make the appearance of NPCs come to life, but they still lack the most critical interior.

Soul!

Just standing there and watching, this old man gives people the feeling of a living person, a living person with a soul, not a cold data NPC dressed in anthropomorphic skin.

Is this a bootstrap NPC? The official website of the game doesn't say that there are guide NPCs...... Roland, who was skeptical, took the initiative to talk to the other party: "Hello old man, what is this place?" ”

The old man on the other side was stunned for a moment when he heard Roland speak, and then he waved his hand and slowly spat out a language that Roland had not heard.

Even if he couldn't understand it, Roland could hear the meaning of the other party's words from the other party's demeanor, and it must be like this: I don't understand what you're saying!

I'll go! Roland felt a toothache, and then scolded the production company of the game in his heart, they are too perfectionist, and really set up different languages for the NPCs in this world? If the introduction of the game's official website is correct, there are dozens of human nations and dozens of different races in this game world, and if each country and each race has its own language, then how much work is it?

If that's the case, what Frost Game Company, what Bi Pregnant Game Company, in front of the big penguins, are all trembling little budding newcomers.

Cursed in his heart, Roland thought of a way, he remembered that when he created the game character, he learned a second-level magic for himself in advance: he knew the language.

Because he has played a lot of sandbox games before, in the game, it is clear that everyone uses the same language and script, but because of the game setting, players from different countries or different camps in the game communicate if they do not understand the language skills of the other country, or do not know the language skills, then the text they see will become garbled characters, and the sound they hear will also become 'beep beep'.

The rich game experience played a role, which made Roland lucky, he called out the system in his heart, and it was a little jerky at first, after all, virtual games and VR games are a little different, but soon he found the magic book option with ease, opened the magic skills inside, found the language he understood, and locked it with his mind.

Then a strange number chart appeared in front of me, with many blue nodes on it.

A blue node resembling an origin point begins to glow, and then bursts of red light towards another node. It's fast, in the blink of an eye.

Is this a spellcasting roadmap?

Roland was thinking about this possibility when he saw the red thread between the two nodes suddenly shake, and then the frequency of the vibration became faster and faster. As the vibrations grew faster and faster, Roland felt his head hurt more and more.

What happened?

Roland has been playing games for 20 years, but it is the first time to play a virtual online game, and he has no experience at all, and he doesn't know how to deal with this kind of thing.

After a few seconds, the red thread finally broke off in a violent vibration, and Roland's head was already painful as if it had been pierced into the scalp by a needle, which was a little unbearable.

At the moment when the red line was broken, Roland's consciousness was ejected from the game's body, and then he was surprised to see that after a crisp crack, his game character's head exploded.

The headless corpse fell to the ground with a heavy blow, and the screen of 'mosaics' splashed everywhere.

Roland's consciousness was as transparent as a soul, and he stood next to the corpse, his face numb from being so surprised that he didn't know how to react.

The old man's hair, face, and clothes were stained with 'mosaics', and his old mouth with few teeth open, and his face was obscure.
