Chapter 9: Drunken Moon

Sunday.

So far, Sun Yimin has received offers from a number of IT companies, including "Guangyu".

To his slight disappointment, the cover letter he sent to the Internet giant T Company was politely rejected. Sun Yimin sighed: Between him and his ideals, it seems that there is still a way to go, and he needs to continue to work hard.

In the end, he didn't worry too much, and finally chose Guangyu. Tomorrow Monday, I will officially go to work. The salary level of about 1.2w is satisfactory to him, after all, it is enough to support his daily livelihood as a single dick.

However, for Sun Yimin's ambitions, this income is still not enough.

He longed to be like Liu Ronghua and own his own house in the city. After all, sending people under the fence is only a stopgap measure. If you want to live in the city for a long time or even marry a wife and have children, a house of your own is essential.

Housing prices in big cities have risen rapidly in recent years, and with his financial ability, if he wants to support a house in this city, there will still be a lot of pressure.

And Sun Yimin is also eager to have a car, although he has a driver's license in his hometown, but since he does not plan to settle in his hometown, he plans to consider buying a car after he settles down in Shenzhen.

Therefore, in addition to saving money constantly, he hopes that he can go to the next level in his career and strive to climb to a high-level position, so as to obtain a higher salary.

Sun Yimin told Liu Ronghua the good news, and the latter expressed his congratulations and admiration: "Sure enough, you are as talented as you are, and you can find a job anywhere in Shenzhen with your technical level." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, I've paid you a salary and invited you to dinner!" Sun Yimin smiled.

"I don't need to have a treat, as long as you play games with me." Liu Ronghua repeated the old words again and tried to help him go into the water.

Sun Yimin hesitated for a moment and asked, "I've heard before that some online games are charged by the hour, and they cost hundreds of yuan every month. Last time you said the game was free, are you sure? ”

"Sure! Nowadays, the games on the market are basically free-to-play, and only a few have a timed fee. You can rest assured! ”

Sun Yimin was silent, seemingly a little wavering.

"Rent-free!" Liu Ronghua once again added tempting chips.

"Okay, then I'll try ......" Sun Yimin finally agreed to Liu Ronghua, which made Liu Ronghua overjoyed.

In fact, Sun Yimin didn't go for that little rent, nor did he covet video games and entertainment. He agreed to Liu Ronghua's request based on the choice he made in the direction of his career.

Although he has excellent technical skills, after all, he is about to face the development of online game software engineering. As such a developer, it is natural to have a basic understanding of the operation of online games.

Liu Ronghua's invitation gave him a good opportunity to learn about online games - the best way to understand online games is to immerse themselves in them. So he agreed to Liu Ronghua along the way.

That's right, since it's self-interested, why not? But in the end, he still faced a problem. He asked Liu Ronghua: "I heard that it takes a lot of time and energy to upgrade the characters in online games, how can I have so much spare time as an office worker?" ”

Liu Ronghua replied with a smile: "I have already considered this for you, you don't need to level up in person, I will directly give you a game account, and there is a game character in the account that is close to full level." I'll get you a few more pieces of gear and you'll be able to play. ”

Sure enough, it's a caring buddy, and the rent is free, and the number is given. Sun Yimin was very touched by this full warmth: in the life of leaving his hometown to make a living, it is really a great blessing in life to have such a good brother to take refuge in.

Liu Ronghua's desktop computer desk was placed next to the dining table, and in order to facilitate communication with Liu Ronghua, Sun Yimin put the laptop on the dining table.

He downloaded and installed the client program of this online game called "Drunken Wind and Moon" on his laptop, and started and logged in to the "Yanyu Ren Pingsheng" server in Telecom District 8.

According to Liu Ronghua's previous introduction, the so-called "zone" of the game refers to the server group in different regions, and Telecom Zone 8 is the server group in South China for this game.

That is to say, under this area, in addition to "Yanyu Ren Pingsheng", there are also many other servers in parallel. Most of the players on these servers are also from South China.

One server is one game. The different servers are independent of each other.

This is a popular role-playing online game. The current server status is "Full", which indicates that the server is overcrowded. According to Liu Ronghua, the number of online people reaches about hundreds of thousands during the prime time of the day.

Sun Yimin secretly thought: With so many people online, there must be many beautiful girls among them, right? This is really like a fish in water for the suave Liu Ronghua! A large proportion of Guangdong's personnel come from all over the country, which seems to meet Liu's diverse needs.

Sun Yimin tried running the game for a while, and sighed that on his old laptop, there was a significant gap between the smoothness of the game screen and the desktop computer at Liu Ronghua's home.

"Hehe, my computer is specially configured for games, and the hardware is quite powerful, how can it compare with yours." Liu Ronghua said proudly, "When you pay your salary, you can configure a new game computer." ”

Buying a separate computer for gaming? It sounds a bit extravagant. Sun Yimin has no such plans for the time being.

Sun Yimin got straight to the point: "Look at me...... I've never played a game before, so will it be a bit difficult to get started? There was a slight apprehension in the words.

Liu Ronghua said: "Alas, you think too much! Online games are originally designed to be played by the public, how high can the threshold be? Not to mention that you have played similar online games before, even if you are a novice or even illiterate, as long as you sit in front of the computer and play for a day, you can learn it without a teacher......"

At this point, Sun Yimin was relieved.

In the game account that Liu Ronghua handed over to Sun Yimin, there is a level 68 game character belonging to this server, and the character profession is "Overlord", which is a physical melee profession that uses long-handled weapons, and most of the skills belong to physical attacks.

Its character shape is quite handsome, it can be said that the eyebrows are handsome, and the jade tree is in the wind. Dressed in gold armor and silver, holding a carved dragon halberd, the chest armor and the tip of the spear shine in the sun, so not majestic.

According to Liu Ronghua, the overlord profession is only available for men, and it is widely popular with male players because of its good appearance and combat ability.

"Can there only be one character in an account?" Sun Yimin asked.

"You can create up to 3 roles on one account. This means that you can also create two characters in this account. Occupation is optional, and the name is self-chosen. ”

The concept of the so-called "profession" in the game, Sun Yimin naturally knows, which is similar to the "Diablo" he played back then.

According to the introductory tutorial, the game system of "Drunken Wind Moon" divides the game characters into 6 different classes according to their combat abilities and functional positioning.

For example, "Hundred Flowers" is a logistics profession whose main function is to heal combat partners. It has strong healing ability and good defense, but its attack ability is weak, and it generally hides behind in battle to heal its companions with health. Not suitable for going to the front to participate in battles.

Overlord is a melee physical attack class, and Phantom Bow is a ranged attack class. "Luohan" does not have a high attack ability, but its defense is like an impregnable wall, and it has a special ability to attract the hatred of monsters. It is suitable for playing as the "main opponent" in the process of teaming up to challenge the dungeon mission

Resist the boss monster at the front. (Boss refers to the boss-level guarding monster in the game, with strong attack ability and high challenge difficulty.) However, it can also often drop the best equipment and items. )

In addition, "Royal Ice" and "Emei" are respectively positioned with different spell attack classes.

New players can choose their class to their liking when creating a character, and they can't change it later.

Then, Liu Ronghua gave him some entry-level introductions to this game: the character level is 70. The initial level of the character is level 1. Players level up their characters by accumulating experience points. The main ways to obtain experience points are to kill monsters and complete various tasks issued by NPCs.

As the character level increases, each character will receive a certain number of attribute points, which can be allocated to the corresponding basic attribute according to their personal preferences.

The basic attributes include: constitution, speed, strength, internal force, body style, etc., and these attribute values determine the character's various combat abilities. Therefore, if you want to improve the strength of your character, upgrading to the full level is a must, and it is also the first step in mixing rivers and lakes.

Then Liu Ronghua asked him to open the character attribute panel of this overlord, and the attribute data is as follows:

Constitution: 87

Strength: 98

Internal forces: 60

Speed: 79

Body: 83

Comprehensive combat power 79478

……

According to Liu Ronghua, the functions of each attribute are roughly as follows: the "Constitution" attribute determines the upper limit of the character's HP, the "Strength" attribute affects the character's physical attack ability, and the "Internal Force" attribute affects the character's spell attack ability. The Speed attribute determines how quickly a character's ability cools down. The "Body" attribute determines the probability that the character will be able to effectively dodge enemy attacks. The two attributes of "constitution" and "body style" are, in essence, a kind of defensive ability. The three attributes of "strength", "internal force" and "speed" are related to attack ability.

For example, Liu Ronghua's Arhat profession is a defensive profession, and its functional positioning in the combat team is "carrying monsters", so its "physique" and "body style" attribute values are particularly high, almost close to the highest value of 100. The strength attribute is relatively weak.

As can be seen from the above chart, the overlord profession is actually a flexible profession with both offense and defense. Its defensive capabilities are slightly inferior to those of the Arhats, but they are not inferior either. Its attack ability is stronger than that of Arhat.

And there is still room for improvement in the attributes of this character, because it is not yet at the full level.

I used to play A back then

Sun Yimin, a PG game, quickly understood and accepted these basic knowledge.
