Chapter 2: Trapped
In a clean delivery room, a woman with a beautiful face is holding a newborn baby in her arms.
It seems that she has just given birth, and her forehead is still wet with sweat beads, and her slightly pale face is full of a very happy smile.
Next to her bedside, a tall young man was holding a camera to capture this moment of happiness.
The young man pointed the camera at the baby wrapped in white cotton, the newborn baby is definitely not good-looking, but in the eyes of this man, it seems to be a peerless treasure.
"Let me hug me." The young man lowered the camera and carefully took the baby from the beautiful woman's hand.
"Look at how happy he laughs, other babies are crying when they are born, I didn't expect this little guy to be so special, looking at his expression, he is obviously laughing." The young man looked at the baby's sleeping face, and the more he looked at it, the more interesting it became.
"Maybe he couldn't help but want to come to this world for a long time." The beautiful woman laughed.
The young man shook his head pretending to be profound, "I don't think that's the case, he must be very satisfied with his parents, with such a handsome father and gentle mother, how could he want to cry." ”
The beautiful woman was amused by the young man's words, and she looked even brighter and more moving.
"What do you think we're going to give him?"
After a moment's thought, the young man said, "Since he is such a special little fellow, his name should be Yao Te." ”
As if waking up from a throbbing dream, Yao Te suddenly opened his eyes.
In front of him is not the delivery room where he was born in his memory, but a very dark space.
I can't see where I'm at all.
Reaching out and groping forward, a cold sensation came from his fingertips, like the touch of metal.
When I touched it carefully, it was a round iron rod, and there were many more next to it, lined up in a row.
The space between the two iron rods was so narrow that Yao Te's size couldn't pass through it at all.
Yao tried to grope his way in a different direction, but soon, another row of iron pillars stood in front of him.
The situation is the same on all sides, and his position seems to be a cage.
He seems to be in captivity.
Faced with such a situation, Yao Te did not feel flustered, and judging from the experience of online games he had played for many years, a novice like him who had just entered the game should not immediately encounter major dangers.
Chances are, this is where the solo dog pro game begins.
"Depending on the situation, I'll have to open this cage first."
Yao Te checked the neck of the cage that had sealed him with his hand again, this time, more carefully than the last time.
With Yao Te's intuition, he always felt that there was a mechanism in this cage that could be opened.
"Sure enough."
On one side of the cage, there is a gap between the iron rods and the surrounding ones, and there is also the outline of a square door frame, which should be the door of the cage.
On the cell door, there is a keyhole, and it seems that this is the key to opening the cage.
But the question at the moment is, where is the key to open the cell door?
It was dark all around, and Yao Te wanted to continue searching, but unfortunately the light in the space was seriously insufficient, and he couldn't see far at all.
"It's not going to be that simple." Yao Te seemed to have anticipated this situation, and his face looked calm.
Try to force it open, with Yao Te's strength, the iron door shows no sign of loosening at all.
Yao Te could only continue to look for clues to open the iron door.
"By the way, I remember when I entered the game, the system said that according to my old game evaluation, I got an E-level starter pack, and the key will not be in it." Yao Te suddenly thought.
Although this idea did not seem credible to him, it was now his only hope.
"The Starter Pack should be in the game backpack."
Click on the icon of the game backpack, and a backpack space with 50 storage slots will appear in front of you.
On the first compartment of the backpack space, an item with a gift bag pattern lifted Yao Te's spirits.
Item: E-Rank Starter Pack.
This is something he bought in exchange for twenty-two years of youth, looking at this thing, Yao Te's heart is a little mixed.
What is life?
"System prompt: Do you want to open the E-Rank Starter Pack?"
"Open."
A burst of light unleashed in the backpack space, and the pattern of the Starter Pack disappeared, replaced by two items.
Snakeskin Whip (Excellent)
Attack: 13-26
Dexterity +9
Item Level: Level 0
Wearing Class: Single Dog, Animal Tamer
Cowhide armor (excellent)
Defense: 15
Stamina +7
Item Level: Level 0
Unlimited
Although it is not clear what the new game will divide into equipment, judging from the excellent equipment level, it is definitely not the kind of garbage that the system gives away for free.
However, Yao Te was not happy at all at this time, because there was no key in the newbie package.
"It seems that getting the key is more difficult than you think." Yao Te was a little disappointed.
In the old games, Yao Te also played a lot of online games with strange settings, but it is extremely rare to have such a crazy setting for players from the beginning.
Maybe that's the difference between a must-play online game and an optional online game.
In the new game, no matter how unhappy the player is, he will not be able to quit.
"Let's think of something else." Yao Te took a deep breath and began to think of other options.
Although the strange setting of the game makes players very unhappy, the essence is that players do not know enough about the game itself.
After all, the strange setting of all games is not unsolvable.
"Maybe it has something to do with my profession?" Yao Te guessed again.
His single dog profession is a special class of E-level, according to the most basic common sense in online games, 80% of the place where a player is born is the initial place of the profession.
The purpose of this is to allow players to fully understand the characteristics of their class.
It's like the restriction on the use of the profession on the snakeskin whip, and it can be seen from this clue that the profession of single dog should be a profession that uses whip-like weapons.
Snakeskin whip in hand, Yao Te began to inspect his character panel.
Players are dumb
Health: 150
Rage: 128 (empty)
Attack: 33-56
Defense: 30
Crit Chance: 1%
Critical Strike Damage: 101%
Attack speed 1.2
Movement speed 302
Evasion Chance: 1%
Health regeneration regeneration restores 0.2 health per second
Excellent item drop chance: 0.01
......
One character attribute after another was skimmed by Yao Te, but there didn't seem to be any connection to the key in these character attributes.
However, Yao Te learned that the characteristics of this profession have a lot to do with anger.
He now has 0 rage, and he doesn't know what effect it will have if he reaches a full value of 128.
Yao Te continued to inspect the skill introduction.
Normal Attack: Any normal attack generates 1 rage, and when hit, it gives 2 rage.
Dog Eye: There is a chance to observe basic information about living things.
Beat: Inflicts a brutal attack on the target, inflicting a bleeding effect and losing 5 health per second for 15 seconds, during which time gaining rage.
Sweep: Deal 10 skill damage to all targets in front of you, gaining an extra point of rage for each enemy hit.
Stumble: Causes the target to fall with a weapon, reducing the target's movement speed by 30% for 5 seconds.
Celestial Descent: Enter the Celestial State, consuming 3 Rage per second.
The profession seems to be similar to the transformation class such as the druid in traditional online games, and the initial skills are not as powerful as expected, and the setting of accumulating anger is also very troublesome.
But now Yao Te doesn't care about any of this, his only concern is how he gets out of this hellish place.
He searched everything he could think of, but he still didn't have a clue about the key.
"I want to kill monsters, I want to do quests, I want to level up." Yao Te finally wailed miserably.
At this time, he was a little envious of the online games he had played, even if it was a crowded scene of monster robbery, even if it was a task entrusted by the old village chief, it was much better than the current situation.
No matter how many difficult copies, he has the confidence to pass, and no matter how many powerful enemies, he has the confidence to defeat.
But now I can't do anything.
"What kind of game is this, it's so boring, it's more boring than the old game." Yao Te sat down with some resignation.
"Sleep, sleep, maybe sleep and find that everything you wake up is a dream." Yao Te could only comfort himself like this.
An inexplicable death, an inexplicable new game, how I wish it was all a dream, and when I woke up, I would be able to call my father's name.
I don't know how long it took, Yao Te woke up again, and the cold floor ruthlessly told him a little truth.
What happened wasn't a dream, he was still in the new game, and he was still locked by the iron door.
What happened was not a dream.
Gotta bash your spirits.
Yao Te got up, thinking about other possibilities again.
"I've heard that after death there is a first seven, so it's hard for me to stay like this for seven days as a tribute to the old game, and then the new game can really begin." Yao Te thought of a possibility.
At the moment, he couldn't think of any reasonable possibility, so he could only speculate.
"Just wait seven days."
In the new game, he doesn't have to eat or drink, and apart from being a little bored, it's not hard to stay like this for seven days at all.
There is a simple timer on the character panel, and he can easily see the time in the game.
Seven days is not a long time, but for Yao Te, this time is extremely long.
It was so boring that he began to recall all the memories that had happened in the old game.
He suddenly realized that the twenty-two years spent in the old game didn't take as long as seven days to recall.
Seven days passed, but nothing changed in front of me.
"It seems that my guess is not correct." Yao Te smiled, but was a little relaxed.
"In this case, there is only one last option." Yao Tee suddenly straightened up, as if he was about to make some big decision.
"What old games, what new games, let me die." Yao Te tied the snakeskin whip like a rope to the iron rod of the cage and wrapped it around his neck.
Lean forward.
The length of the snakeskin whip was not enough for Yao Te to fall to the ground, and Yao Te's neck was pulled by the snakeskin whip, and a strong feeling of suffocation made him feel more real than ever.
He was dying.
Death, it was the last resort he thought of.
In traditional online games, there is a very small probability that the player's character will be stuck, and the usual solution is to reset to death.
And the system once suggested that there is no real meaning of death in the new game, Yao Te is not afraid of death, but is full of hope.
"My head hurts so much, why does my head hurt so much at this time." The expression on Yao Te's face was pained.
Unlike the discomfort of suffocation, the pain of tearing in his mind was even more unbearable for Yao Te.
"System prompt: You're engaging in an act of self-harm that is costing you a little health."
"System prompt: You're engaging in an act of self-harm that is costing you a little health."
......
Suddenly, a candle lit up from the darkness in the distance, and it seemed that someone was walking towards it.
"Even if you choose to die alone, you will never ask for help, it seems that this is your fate."
The man's voice sounded a little hoarse, but it was unforgettable.
