Chapter 467: Hardcore Mission
"Huh? Where do you seem to have heard this phrase? ”
Under the moon, Jasmine's heart moved.
Her memory is still good, and after a little thought, she will remember-
"It's a new opening animation!"
"That half-elf in the opening scene, is it Oros?"
A hint of interest rose in Jasmine's heart under the moon.
She doesn't like the plot much when she plays the game, and she always skips the fast-forward button.
That is, "Elf Country" can't jump the plot, she just went through a few missions to familiarize herself with the game when she first entered the pit, and then she never took on NPC tasks again.
However, people love to listen to stories.
Especially when curiosity is mobilized.
And the hint of the opening animation, coupled with Caesar's guess about the trial mission, finally made Jasmine under the moon a little curious about this story that she had just been distracted and missed.
Curiosity is the beginning of the fall.
This applies to anything.
In Caesar's expectant and apprehensive gaze, Jasmine under the moon flipped through deeper records.
The recordings are illustrated and accompanied by a variety of flashback videos and just the right amount of background music.
And the whole plot is through the descriptions and memories of several NPCs, and gradually unravels the secrets behind the Oros half-plane......
It is the story of a hero who sacrificed everything for the sake of his faith.
It is the story of a poor creature who is willing to fall into darkness in order to resurrect the Mother Goddess.
For the sake of faith and persistence in his heart, the demigod Oros burned everything......
The whole plot is based on the growth of the half-elf Oros, telling the secrets of the thousand-year-old god war, the creation of the half-plane of Oros, the purpose of the Cult of Creation, as well as the decay of the plane and the persistence and fall of the demigod Oros......
The hero eventually falls in a state of invective and rage, while the Mother Goddess returns in a jubilant mood.
The people who designed the stories are obviously very skilled.
Through different angles and with the help of the words of different people, the whole record progresses layer by layer, and unlocks the secrets of the Oros half-plane step by step.
At the same time, with just the right background music and sensationalism, the sense of gravity of history, the sense of mission of the elves, and the tragic sense of the demigod Oros are perfectly described.
While letting people know this plot, a picture of vicissitudes, tragic and wonderful historical pictures unconsciously emerged in front of them......
Jasmine under the moon was a little careless at first, but as she continued to flip through it, she gradually became serious.
She's never had a good time with the various game plots.
Because in her opinion, this kind of adventure online game that focuses on MMO-RPG is not the core of the plot.
Maybe the kind of word game that focuses on the flow of the plot, the plot text is more exciting, but that is meant to sell the plot, there is no comparison.
In the eyes of Jasmine under the moon, the plots in general online games are all made up.
Poor storytelling, unscrupulous logic, rough backgrounds, forced sensationalism, and sometimes embarrassing narration are really a waste of time.
Moreover, it was originally for the task reward, and not many people really settled down to go to the plot.
In Jasmine's opinion, it is better to level up quickly and fight with others than to doze off the mission.
At first, although there was a hint of curiosity, Jasmine under the moon was still ready to start spraying after watching the plot.
However, after really sinking down to understand the story behind the priestly trial, Jasmine under the moon was silent.
It's a heartfelt story, but it's also a story with sadness.
I don't know why, from the trial plot, Jasmine under the moon saw the sense of history and realism, epicness and tragedy that she would never see in other game plots.
That feeling...... It's as if the story is really happening.
Unconsciously, with the narration of the plot, Jasmine under the moon seems to have really sketched in her mind the image of a hero who is flesh and blood, carries everything, dedicates everything, and does not forget his original belief even if he is degenerate.
Especially when the laughter of the residents of Oros came, the contrast between the happiness and the heaviness and tragedy of the story made Jasmine under the moon feel a little depressed and sad inexplicably.
Jasmine under the moon used to not watch the plot.
However, the high sense of substitution in "Elven Country" has long been decided, even if you never pay attention to the plot here, you will more or less communicate with NPCs.
And with communication, over time, some kind of subtle influence will always happen.
Among them, the most important thing is the empathy and substitution of the elven civilization in "Elf Country".
And this kind of empathy and substitution will undoubtedly further strengthen the infection that players receive when reading the story of Oros, and make players more likely to be moved.
This is the case with jasmine under the moon.
And when she noticed this emotion of herself, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Myself...... Actually moved by a story?
Jasmine under the moon felt a little funny.
She continued scrolling through the plot to see if there was anything to happen after Oros disappeared, such as whether he was taken back to the kingdom of God by the goddess.
However, it turns out that the plot ends here......
"Gone?"
She was slightly stunned.
"Is it really dead? Such a hero? ”
She muttered, and let out a deep sigh that she didn't even realize herself......
"It's a great story, isn't it? What a pity for Oros! The profession of priesthood also has a greater sense of mission and responsibility than I imagined. ”
Beside him, Caesar's voice came again.
Hearing this lament with deep emotion, Jasmine under the moon turned off the plot and subconsciously turned her head.
And when she saw the other party's expression that was so moved that her eyes were slightly red, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter:
"Poof...... It's just a plot, why are you moved to cry? You're still not a man? It's just a game setting, you take it too seriously. ”
"Uh...... Can't men be moved? Ay...... I've never had much resistance to similar stories. ”
Caesar shook his head.
After speaking, he looked at Jasmine again, and when he noticed the other party's obviously slightly lost emotion compared to just now, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth slightly.
As an observant man, Caesar couldn't have been more familiar with similar expressions.
Isn't this the kind of expression that people who have read the story, are a little moved, and at the same time are still unsatisfied?
"Then again, aren't you impressed at all? Or rather...... Having played in Elven Realm until now, do you really think of it as just a game? ”
He looked at Jasmine under the moon and asked rhetorically.
Listening to Caesar's words, Jasmine under the moon fell silent.
After a moment, she sighed and said:
"I don't know."
"Still, it's a good story."
After speaking, Jasmine looked at Caesar, and when she saw the smile of the old father that was unique to the other party's "mission" success, she couldn't help but redden:
"When...... Of course! It's just a little bit good! ”
She explained with some stammering.
"I understand, I understand, if you like it!"
Caesar said with a smile.
Jasmine Under the Moon: ......
"Who liked ......"
She muttered quietly.
After saying that, she turned off the trial interface, and while changing the topic, she walked towards the Temple of Life:
"Alright, the trial is over, let's settle the mission."
When you accept a trial task, you receive it by prayer, and when you complete it, you need to pray again.
The Oros plane does not have a World Tree, so if you want to enter the job transfer screen to settle the quest, you must go to the Temple of Life.
The temple under reconstruction is very magnificent, and it is said that it is the main construction of the Moe Meng Committee, referencing St. Peter's Basilica on the Blue Star.
After all, it is a core temple on a half-plane plane, and it has to rule millions of NPCs, so it is good to be grandiose.
When the two of them arrived at the temple, there were already a lot of players gathered here who had completed the trial story.
Everyone came to line up to hand in the mission, and everyone was talking excitedly about the plot in the trial mission:
"It turns out that this half-plane still has such a story......"
"I didn't expect the boss we defeated to be considered a friendly army."
"Wake up, it's obvious that the goddess knocked it down."
"Both of you wake up, it's clear that Oros himself gave up the fight......"
"In any case, he is indeed a hero to the elves, and he is also a devout believer to the goddess."
"Perhaps...... The purpose of this trial is to let us know about his faith......"
"That's right, the core of Elven Realm is substitution, and I think if you want to be a really good priest, you may need to really integrate into NPCs."
"Now I'm getting more and more curious about the priesthood."
The two stood in line for five or six minutes before it was finally their turn.
Jasmine under the moon prayed to the statue of the holy goddess and returned to the job transfer interface again.
The field of vision changed again, and faintly, Jasmine under the moon seemed to see the figure of the goddess again.
I saw the goddess sitting on the throne of the god and smiling at her:
"Chosen One, you have completed the trial and are qualified to become a Preparatory Priest."
With that, he beckoned softly, and Jasmine under the moon felt a gentle force enter her body.
"Pious Chosen One, preach my word to the earth......
"May you always have a sincere heart and officially become my preacher."
The voice of the goddess was soft and gentle, and seemed to carry a calming power.
And after the goddess finished speaking, Jasmine's vision under the moon was once again on the side, returning to the reality in the game.
As soon as she returned to reality, a new system message appeared in her field of vision-
【Ding——】
[Congratulations, pious Chosen One, you have activated the priesthood class]
【Your current priesthood level is: Preparatory Priest】
[The Preparatory Priest is not a real priest yet, if you want to become a real priest, you still need to complete the priestly mission]
【Ding——】
You trigger Priest Mission: Missionary
[Objective: Train 3 followers of the goddess of life]
[Mission time: 3 days]
[Reward: Promoted to Trainee Priest, Activate the Divine Favor System]
[Task Punishment: Priest Class Activation Expires, Need to Re-Trial]
【Ding——】
【You gain skill: Eyes of Faith】
[Eye of Faith: Activate a skill to determine the opponent's belief in the goddess of life]
[You get a virtual item: The Holy Book of Life]
[The virtual "Holy Book of Life" can be flipped through at any time in the priesthood interface, and it will be a powerful tool for your mission......]
……
"Huh? Not a true priest yet? ”
Jasmine under the moon frowned slightly.
"It takes 3 believers to become a probationary priest, that is, to really open the professional system and have the priesthood rank. Jasmine, the plane is going to serve now, right? ”
Caesar said from the side.
Listening to his words, Jasmine under the moon nodded slightly.
The two quickly left the temple and came to the streets of Segs City again.
And Jasmine under the moon is walking and checking her personal panel at the same time.
At this moment, her personal panel has undergone a subtle change.
Below the mana, there is a new golden energy value, named Divine Favor.
"Divine favors?"
Under the moon, Jasmine's heart moved slightly.
She focused her attention, and a description of the value of the gods came to mind—
Divine Favor is a value unique to priests, and it is the energy consumed when releasing divine magic.
Deities are related to the priest level and will be restored over time.
When you succeed in developing believers, you will also increase your own divine favors. However, if you exceed the maximum amount of your deity, it will not be restored over time after it is consumed.
However, although the current Divine Favor value has appeared, it shows that it has not been activated.
"Haven't activated yet? This should be the Divine Favor System, right? ”
"To put it bluntly, it's the priest's energy bar, and it can still be accumulated by preaching, which means encouraging players to preach......"
Jasmine under the moon was thoughtful.
The key, then, is how to preach.
Thinking of this, Jasmine under the moon glanced at the "Holy Book of Life" on the priest interface.
"Use this to preach? Could it be a skill? Not...... It can't really be a holy book made up by players, right? ”
She tilted her head.
"Hey, Jasmine! Try the Eyes of Faith! This one really shows the belief level of the NPCs! ”
At this time, Caesar's slightly excited voice came, interrupting Jasmine's train of thought.
Hearing the other man's words, she shifted her attention to her newly acquired skills.
[Eyes of Faith: No consumption of priest skills, cooldown time of three minutes, after activation, you can check the faith level of all targets in the field of vision within 10 seconds]
[The types and levels of belief are reflected in color, and the differences are as follows:]
[Thakist: Red]
【Untrustworthy: Green】
[Shallow Believer: White]
【Devotional: Blue】
[Zealot: Purple]
【Saints/Divine Favors: Golden】
"It's kind of interesting."
Jasmine under the moon became interested.
She raised her head, looked at the inhabitants around her, and activated the Eyes of Faith.
The field of vision suddenly changed, and in her gaze, a halo appeared on the surface of everyone's body.
Of these, most of them are green, a small part is white, and a few are blue.
In addition, many NPCs with green aura are surrounded by enthusiastic players.
"Are They Preaching......
Under the moon, Jasmine's heart moved slightly.
The competitive spirit of a competitive player was unconsciously revealed, and Jasmine under the moon took a deep breath and said to Caesar:
"Let's go on a mission now! Today my sister will take you to fly. ”
Using the [Eyes of Faith], Jasmine under the Moon quickly targeted a resident NPC and walked over first.
It was a girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed like a civilian.
She was looking at the players in the city with curious eyes, her eyes full of longing and yearning.
Jasmine under the moon took Caesar and soon came to the girl.
The girl was startled by the sudden appearance of two players in front of her.
She hurriedly saluted, and said respectfully and a little nervously:
"You...... Hello...... Lord of the Protoss, you ...... Do you have anything to do with me? ”
Jasmine under the moon was also a little nervous.
It's okay when she doesn't match, but when she starts a conversation, she's more or less empty.
To say, it's also because "Elven Country" is too realistic.
Even if you know that this is a game, when you talk to NPCs who are like real characters, Su Lili, a senior social phobia, is still a little unaccustomed to it......
She never does NPC quests in "Elf Country", not only because she simply hates the plot, but also because she is not angry.
However, compared to reality, it is still much better.
At least she doesn't have the inexplicable unease, inferiority complex and shame that she is exposed to the public in reality, and she can still talk to others in the game.
Besides, isn't it already remarked? You can rely on the Holy Book of Life to preach.
All she needed to do was bring up the Holy Book of Life and read it...... bar.
Not......
Wait a minute.
She didn't seem to have studied how the mission was preached.
And there doesn't seem to be a detailed explanation in the priestly introduction......
The system simply told her that she needed to rely on the virtual "Holy Book of Life" to preach.
Jasmine swallowed, and a ridiculous thought popped into her mind.
Preaching by the Holy Book of Life?
This should not be so complicated and not so hardcore...... Right?
Definitely!
It's just a game, it's really complicated, who is going to play it?
And...... Caesar is still watching, and he must set an example!
Thinking of this, Jasmine under the moon took a deep breath and showed a smile that was self-righteous and kind, but actually a little stiff.
She calmed down and said to the girl:
"Hello, have you heard of the Goddess of Life?"
"The goddess of life?"
The girl was stunned, then nodded:
"Know, it's the great being who saved us."
It's good to know.
Jasmine under the moon nodded secretly.
Immediately afterward, she was going to click on the "Holy Book of Life", and she didn't know how to do it for the time being, but guessed that eighty percent of it was a "mission" that automatically read the note after clicking on it.
However, when she clicked on the "Holy Book of Life", she was slightly stunned.
Her field of vision......
It's really the holy book that the player wrote in the first place!
Electronic version!
"Take ...... Take this missionary? ”
Jasmine under the moon was stunned.
Wait a minute.
There must be a proselytizing button somewhere, right?
Jasmine's gaze under the moon kept searching for the interface, turning over and over......
However, she turned the interface upside down, and she found nothing but an electronic version of the Holy Book of Life.
At this moment, Jasmine under the moon was really a little panicked.
She subconsciously swallowed and looked at the holy book marked "essential for mission".
Jasmine Under the Moon: ......
This...... No way?
Do you really want to preach with doctrine?!
Is it so hardcore?!
Isn't that hilarious?
This is something that players are completely fooling around!
And...... Isn't this a game?!
She stayed straight on the spot.
And looking at the beautiful and powerful Protoss Lord in front of him who suddenly came to talk, his face suddenly turned white and red, his eyes were even more wide, and he was spinning around like a convulsive (looking for a button), but after he stopped talking......
The girl standing opposite Jasmine under the moon was completely stunned.
