It was getting late, and the surrounding scenery was gradually blurring, and the towering Qingyun Mountain stood like a pitch-black iron tower between heaven and earth, and the occasional howl of a wild beast could be heard from the trees in the distance, which sounded very scary.

After an afternoon of hard work, An Ran had already risen to level 13, and his servant Fan Yuntian had reached the point where he was about to break through level 16.

They had been marching north along the foot of Qingyun Mountain, and on the way they had encountered a lone gray wolf, which was an active aggressive monster with level eighteen. The so-called encounter is actually this hungry gray wolf crawling in the grass and staring at them for a long time, but Fan Yuntian's profession is an assassin, and the assassins have a professional passive skill called 'perception', which allows them to always be vigilant in an unfamiliar environment, and their judgment of unknown dangers is also different from other professions.

So the moment the gray wolf stared at them, Fan Yuntian also spotted it, and when the gray wolf pounced on them, their knives were also aimed at its abdomen. Then the two sides fought each other, and the fight was fierce, and after about three or four minutes the gray wolf was killed, and the victor was also exhausted. Fan Yuntian paid half of his blood, and An Ran still had a pitiful 72 drops left in his blood bar, basically speaking, as long as the wolf claw came again, he would have to die.

This made the master and servant dispel the idea of entering Qingyun Mountain, a single gray wolf can make them embarrassed, not to mention encountering a large group of wolves, besides, there may be tigers and black bears in the mountains that are more fierce than wolves, they don't dare to risk this with their lives, even if they can be resurrected? Losing experience and equipment is also a heart-wrenching thing. What's even more uncomfortable is that night is about to fall, and it seems really unwise to kill monsters and level up at night when you can't see anything clearly.

So An Ran had to take back his servant's original underground line, and the young man took off his helmet and drilled out the body fixation bracket, and took off the somewhat disgusting sensor suit on his body, and started life in the real world, such as solving the problem of eating, drinking, and Lazar.

After eating dinner and taking a hot shower, An Ran clicked on the official website of Huaxia on the computer, and found that there was no difference between the website and before, and then he went to a game forum and found that a holographic online game area appeared in the game forum layout.

At present, there are not many posts in this game section, and most of the posts are written about the feelings of players when they first enter the game, as well as some realistic game stickers and videos. There is no experience of upgrading; There is no employment referral; There are no skill descriptions; There is no quest strategy; It's not popular at all, and it can even be said to be a little cold, but An Ran knows that in the near future, it will be one of the hottest games.

He flipped through the post boringly, and suddenly a post caught his attention, and the details of the 'RMB to Huaxia Game Currency' post read:

'Four Treasures Studio has purchased a large number of Huaxia game coins and scarce equipment, and if you are interested, you can talk to the staff of Huaxia Games. The staff in the Chinese game game nickname: pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, the fat cat is me, the wind chime, the boy killer, the store integrity management Tong Su is not deceitful, interested parties can log in to a treasure or a game equipment trading platform to verify us before trading.

"It turns out that the one I met in Daoxiang Village is a professional player who makes money from games, and they also have a special studio to operate, An Ran! You were short-sighted before, but you underestimated him, maybe they saw much farther than me, a novice who relied on everything on his own. This Four Treasures Studio hissed," An Ran picked up the cup next to the computer and took a sip ......of tea and thought, "It can't be the famous gold group when I was fighting World of Warcraft many years ago, right?" ”

An Ran plans to ask about the situation in the game at that time, plus what the person said during the day, 'Frost Leaf Studio' knows that there are already two batches of so-called 'game professional players' who have entered Huaxia, since these studios that make a living from games have entered Huaxia and started to lay out and work hard, then this virtual world must be very exciting.

There is nothing to see next, An Ran is ready to rest early, although today did not exceed the game time stipulated by Huaxia, but An Ran does not want to enter the game again, what can he do? Discrediting the Forward?

Because the time system of Huaxia is not much different from the time in the real world, the day in reality is its day, and the night in reality is its night. In the Chinese world at night, except for the surrounding areas of major cities and the concentration points of various villages and towns, those remote fields and mountains are almost pitch black if there is no moonlight. Players in this time and in the wild can do almost nothing, and they have to be on guard against unknown dangers at all times.

Therefore, many players simply use the daytime to upgrade their monster-killing equipment, and at night in the city to deal with personal affairs, gang affairs, set up stalls, buy trading equipment, learn life skills, talk about life philosophy, make friends, pick up girls, and so on. Of course, this is also the well-intentioned mastermind of Huaxia, it is afraid that you will fall into endless leveling and playing equipment as soon as you go online, and forget that the game itself has a lot of fun, so she made an extremely real environment, so that players are difficult to kill monsters and level up in the dark night and without light. Since An Ran is a novice player and has not been to any big city, he can't take transportation between cities or anything, so he can only walk to a certain city step by step, so at night, An Ran, who is at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, can't play anymore, so he can only choose to go offline and continue during the day.

An Ran didn't sleep comfortably this night, and the muscles of the young man's body hurt badly because of a lot of exercise. But this is a good thing, I will definitely exercise like this often in the future, and my physical fitness will get better and better. Shouldn't online games be something that makes people sit in front of the computer for a long time without moving, or bury their heads in their mobile phones and can't stop walking, making people's health worse and worse? Playing online games can also exercise my body, I'm good!

Early the next morning, when An Ran went online, he was the only one, and Fan Yuntian did not greet him sleepily like the first time, this was because he took the initiative to recall his servants when he went offline, so the NPC kid escaped the fate of being locked up by the system.

Just when An Ran had a good idea and wanted to threaten Fan Yuntian again, he found that the message in the friend bar of his personal information page was beating, and the young man clicked on it.

"Brother Enron, we're going to brush the 'hooligan gathering place', are you interested in going together?" This is the first message left by the desert smoke.

"Wow! I said, brother, you're a monster! It's only been two days and it's already level thirteen? Remember to reply to me online. "The second message sent directly from these desert lonely smokes.

"Brother An Ran, take me to level up! Take me to leveling! This is the message left by the sunset on the long river.

"Handsome man, your level won't be bought with money, right?" This is the message left by the smoke falling, followed by a smiling face.

"It seems that we have discussed the bombardment of information on me together." After reading the information, An Ran smiled slightly, he naturally likes familiar guys, and always feels that this kind of person will not have too much caution to give people a sense of security.

"No problem, where are you?" An Ran found that they hadn't been online early in the morning, so he left a message for Desert Lonely Yanzhi.

'Rogue Gathering Place' is a small copy of a ten-level five-person group, the entrance is not far from the gate of Xiliang City, this is the first copy that many novice players will face after choosing a profession, and there will be some early transition equipment and low-end professional skill books for various professions. Almost all novice players in Huaxia are willing to crawl around in this kind of dungeon, which can be regarded as a dungeon teaching and training ground given by the master brain to novice players.

An Ran is now faced with two choices, one is to enter this unknown Qingyun Mountain according to the original plan to continue to kill monsters and upgrade; The second is to turn west from Qingyun Mountain, go to Xiliang City to choose a career for yourself first, and see if you can get some equipment suitable for you next time.

Judging from the encounter with the gray wolf yesterday night, even if he has Fan Yuntian, a perverted servant, it is probably unrealistic to enter Qingyun Mountain at this moment to kill monsters, upgrade, and play equipment, just a lone gray wolf at the foot of the mountain almost killed their master and servant, not to mention that there are any unknown and terrifying beasts in the mountain, so An Ran is still more inclined to the latter, so he promised the desert to go straight to them. It was time for me to choose a career.

A burst of white light flashed, An Ran summoned Fan Yuntian to his side, and the world began to liven up.

"I'm not going to go into the mountain for a while," An Ran said to his servants, "The beasts at the foot of the mountain alone make us a little overwhelmed."

However, at this time, Fan Yuntian was thinking about other issues.

"You...... You ......," he asked, shaking his little confused head, "you could have locked me up when you left?" ”

"Of course!" An Ran replied as she walked.

"I said how did time pass so quickly, and it was dawning all of a sudden, so why didn't you lock me up the day before yesterday? As a result, Lao Tzu was tortured by the god-killing system all night. Fan Yuntian muttered angrily.

This NPC kid inadvertently exposes his weaknesses and allows his master to find a way to threaten himself.

"It's not a good feeling to be locked up by the system, isn't it?" An Ran stared at Fan Yuntian with a smile, and he gently patted the boy's shoulder with his hand.

"You...... What are you doing? Fan Yuntian felt his master's smile turn on his face, and subconsciously shrank back.

"Humph! Let me tell you stinky boy, if you dare to mess with Lao Tzu in the future, be careful that I will forget to lock you up when I go offline, and Lao Tzu will not come back for ten days and half a month so that the system can educate you well. ”

This sentence grabbed Fan Yuntian's life, and the cold sweat in his vest was scared out, although the NCP kid didn't understand what a sentence like going offline, but he could feel that it was too uncomfortable to be locked up by the hell system.

"Don't! Brother Enron" Fan Yuntian jumped up, "Please!" Can't I listen to you for everything? ”

An Ran was very satisfied with his performance, thinking that you, an NPC, were still a little tender with Lao Tzu, and he was ready to use both grace and power.

"Don't be afraid!" An Ran stroked Fan Yuntian's head and comforted: "As long as you are obedient, listen to me in everything, I am your master, it is impossible to treat you badly, our master and servant are originally alone in this world, we must unite with each other or we will be bullied." You see, you're much better equipped than I am now, have I said anything? Now I need you to give me a suggestion, should we continue to go into the mountains to kill monsters and level up? Or should you go to the city first and choose a career before you make a plan? “

"Can you still go into the mountains with you as a burden?" Fan Yuntian almost blurted out, but suddenly he thought that this sentence might anger his master, so he changed his words: "Brother An Ran, let's go to the city first!" The monsters here are not what we can deal with at the moment. “

"One day I'm so strong that I'm not afraid of anything, can't I leave by myself? Can you still lead Lao Tzu by the nose? This is what Fan Yuntian thinks in his heart.

System: Your Servant Fan Yuntian's loyalty is reduced by 10%

An Ran was obviously stunned for a moment after receiving the system message, "Is it by using threats to make others worry about you?" "Youth find out what they are doing wrong.

It took a while to get to Xiliang City, and they walked out of the mountains and stepped on an official road to the city. The road is relatively wide, and there are flat countryside on both sides, and there is occasionally a house and a few horses on the road, but there are no wild monsters suitable for leveling, so they are only in a hurry and do not talk much.

Gradually, the houses became denser, and there were camps with cloth tents, NPC patrol soldiers with spears in hand, and NPC merchants and farmers standing next to the carriages. The master and servant came to the woodland where the leaves had fallen, and at this time there were more players, most of them were running around killing monsters to do tasks, except for a small number of players who would show curious eyes to Fan Yuntian who followed An Ran, wanting to see if this was a task NPC, most players didn't bother to care about them.

"Come into town, lock me up! Brother An Ran," Fan Yuntian, who was not very interested all the way, finally spoke, "Otherwise, people will always go around you when people like me follow you, and you will be very annoyed." ”

An Ran knew that he was unhappy because of his threat, this kid, if he was normal, he didn't know how many words he would have to fight with himself along the way, so An Ran planned to change his mistakes.

"Yuntian," An Ran shouted.

"What for?"

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have threatened you. “

"No, you are the master who deserves it to me." Fan Yuntian lowered his head and pulled the corner of his clothes and said.

"I figured it out, no matter how disobedient you are in the future, no matter how much you scold me, I won't deliberately go offline, no matter how you let the system bully you." An Ran looked down at his servant.

"Huh? You're saying you wouldn't have let the system shut me down on purpose? Fan Yuntian's eyes suddenly flashed with a pale blue light.

"Yes! Other than that, I won't let anyone bully you - although I'm weak myself - I can only bully you. He winked at him.

The one-line thinking NPC kid was moved, he jumped up and hugged his master, hung on him and cried, "I thought you wouldn't care about me anymore...... Woooooo “

System: Your minion Fan Yuntian's loyalty is increased by 20%

"Is this all right?" An Ran thought, "This Nima is simply too simple!" His hand tricked Lao Tzu into buying him equipment and pretending to be a quest NPC to play with other people's IQ and was eaten by a dog? It turns out that it's not just women and children who like to be coaxed, but even the NPC teenagers in this system are the same...... "An Ran was embarrassed, but he knew that he was telling the truth and didn't lie to Fan Yuntian.

Then the two men who hugged saw several players standing next to them, and they stared at them with very puzzled eyes.

"How did you do that? Bro," one player asked, "to make a male NPC like you?" “

An Ran led Fan Yuntian to flee the scene quickly, rushing towards the gate of the magnificent Xiliang City, and there were one after another 'Hey! Don't run! ''Ask you!'' Wait, wait, wait.

Xiliang City was the westernmost and largest frontier city of the Jin Kingdom, and it had tall, dark walls with sentry posts and soldiers patrolling back and forth. Even the gates of the city wall are usually heavily guarded, and the guards in armor and steel hats with spears in their hands stand straight on both sides of the aisle of the gate, staring directly at the players and system NPCs passing by.

There is only one city gate in Xiliang City, that is the Dingnan Gate that An Ran and they are going to pass through at the moment, it is not the capital city of Jinguo Jian'an, which even has four city gates, it is not so big and so prosperous. This is not the foot of the Son of Heaven, so the buildings in the city are mostly gray, black, white, and three colors, which are majestic but not gorgeous.

Under the sharp eyes of a group of soldiers, An Ran and Fan Yuntian entered the city gate and came to a white bridge, the road was paved with tough white stones, very wide enough for several carriages to drive side by side, on both sides of the bridge was a deep moat, the breeze blew through the water waves, it was hard to imagine how many bones would be buried in it in the event of a war.

There is also a city wall in the past of the bridge, although it is not as tall and thick as the outer city wall, but there are two command towers on it, and after the arch hole under the city wall, there is a wide glory square inside, this square will be the place where the Xiliang army will assemble and go out in wartime, and now it is occupied by players and ordinary NPC civilians.

At this time, the voice logo button in the friends bar jumped, and An Ran clicked on it.

"Haha! I've just entered the game and I've seen your message...... We are in Xiliang City, what about you? Enron Brothers. In his voice, Da Mo Guyan asked directly.

"I happened to be here too, and now at the base of the city wall of the square, tell me the specific location so that I can go and find you." An Ran said.

"No, don't move where you're there, I'll come to you."

The voice call has been hung up, and An Ran has no choice but to stand there and look around. Although there are players and NPCs coming and going in the square, because the square is very large and now belongs to Huaxia and has just opened the service, there are not many players who enter this game in the early stage, so the huge square looks a little empty, and some NPC merchants and players set up stalls on the square to sell things.

If you find the equipment, do you have to find a place to sit on the ground and put all kinds of equipment in front of you, like they did, and bargain with the buyers like selling vegetables in the vegetable market? It's too time-consuming. An Ran thought.

At this time, the desert lonely smoke came straight from the east of the square, and the man looked towards the city wall as he walked, and An Ran shouted and waved at him.

"You're early!" When he walked to the side, Da Mo Guyan patted An Ran's shoulder, "It's level thirteen, how did you get upgraded?" So fast? ”

An Ran looked him up and down, and found that Da Mo Guyan was wearing white chain mail, a broad-bladed machete hanging from his waist, black trousers, black leather boots, and he himself had a Chinese face with a slight beard, and the whole person looked capable and spirited, as if he was a mighty general.

"You're not slow to smoke dude, aren't you all level ten?" An Ran quipped, and then he read again, "Chinese New Year's Eve, Jin Wu, seven feet long, quite bearded. Isn't that you? “

"Haha! Brother teased," Da Mo Guyan smiled heartily and then said: "We picked up some cheap in Daoxiang Village, and then when the level was reached, we came here and became a warrior." What about you? Brother, why haven't you changed jobs at level 13? ”

"Isn't that just a career choice?" An Ran said.

"As long as you don't get dizzy, you can choose a fighter." Fan Yuntian beside him suddenly said that.

"Ahh I'm sorry," Desert Lonely Yanzhi noticed the NPC kid with light blue hair, blue eyes and pointed ears next to An Ran. "Who is this? I'm sorry! I always thought he was an NPC of the system, but I didn't expect it to be a foreign friend - your Chinese is very good! Children. “

"What the is this? Also foreigners are coming. An Ran was secretly ashamed.

"It's an NPC, but he's my NPC friend named Fan Yuntian." An Ran explained.

This made the desert lonely smoke a little surprised.

"Friends? Can NPCs be our friends? Da Mo Guyan sighed, "Brother Enron, you are really a special person. “

"Why can't you be your friend?" Fan Yuntian tilted his head and looked at the desert with blue eyes. "You look so good, Uncle Yan, I feel that you will be the first soldier of Jinguo in the future, unlike that guy, hey! Pray that he doesn't choose a warrior, or I'm afraid he'll insult the profession. ”

"Brother An Ran, I'll take you to a job change, I'm familiar with this, come with me." The desert lonely smoke was amused by Fan Yuntian and said again.

"You've gone too far! Fan Yuntian," An Ran shouted helplessly.

"I'll tell you that this guy is stupid to death," Fan Yuntian walked straight together next to the desert lonely smoke, if it weren't for his height, he would definitely put his hand on the man's shoulder like a friend for many years, and didn't care about An Ran behind him and began to talk about his rights and wrongs. "Yesterday he actually ...... in front of me"

"Hahahaha......" The desert lone smoke burst into laughter again.

What is self-cooked, this is self-cooked, An Ran was aggrieved in her heart, how could she be such a perverted servant.

Fortunately, the place where the player transferred is not too far from the square, after passing through the Benhoi Avenue under the stairs of the square, turn a corner to the left, and you will arrive at the largest inn in Xiliang City'Xiliangju' and go forward, there is a small river with a white arch bridge built on it, after crossing the bridge, on the left is the general's mansion with two stone lions at the door, and on the right is their destination Xiliangcheng 'Inaugural Hall'

The three of them stepped through the door, a courtyard paved with bluestone slabs. The courtyard is surrounded by white walls on both sides, and in front of it is a large three-story house with six closed doors of different colors, and six NPCs with different expressions stand solemnly in front of the door.

"The bald head in the middle is the master of the monk hall, and he will be looking for him when he joins the monks; On the far left, wearing a Taoist robe and a bun, is the Heavenly Master Hall; I'm a warrior, so I'm looking for the one on the right with armor and a knife. "The lonely smoke of the desert is introduced one by one.

"I actually want to be an assassin, kill one person in ten steps and don't stay for a thousand miles, how chic!" An Ran said with a smile.

In fact, the handsome young man studied Fan Yuntian as an idol after seeing Fan Yuntian's skills.

"Even! Oh, my God! His idol covered his head and howled.

"What are you doing there crying wolf?" An Ran was very dissatisfied with the attitude of his servants.

"Don't! Please, Brother Enron, don't be an assassin! Not for you, really not for you, if you want to be handsome...... Swordsmen are much more handsome than assassins. ”

"The bow back of the Xia Ming sword shines on the frost, and the autumn wind goes out of Xianyang." An Ran muttered, "It's not bad to wear a white-clothed sword Tianya - tell me your true intentions!" The young man turned to Fan Yuntian and asked.

"Actually, it's very simple, if you choose an assassin and I'm also an assassin, then the assassin equipment that comes out in the future will be given to you or given to me?" Fan Yuntian asked with his hand on his chest.

The desert lonely smoke expressed his appreciation and gave him a thumbs up.

"Cut! I knew it. “

After An Ran put on a look of seeing through his servant's careful thoughts, he began to walk towards the third gate on the right, where stood a handsome young man with flowing hair, a white robe, and a three-foot Qingfeng sword in his hand, that is, the master who turned swordsman for the player.

"Then Lao Tzu will be a swordsman in the future." He made up his mind.

"Hello Mr. Funeral Flower," An Ran knew that the name of this swordsman was Funeral Flower, and stepped up the steps to greet politely, "Please help me transfer to become a swordsman!" “

So this young swordsman called 'Burial Flower' glanced at An Ran and Fan Yuntian coldly, "Please leave immediately!" Adventurer, the swordsman of Xiliang City will never open the door to you. “

An Ran was stunned, he didn't know what he was doing wrong, why did this NPC who was responsible for changing jobs for the player refuse him.

System: You have caused the inaugural master's disgust and the esteem value has been reduced by 20

System: NPCs in Xiliang City with an Esteem value of 0 in Xiliang City will no longer serve you.

"What's wrong?" Da Desert Guyan saw An Ran's abnormality and asked.

"I don't know what's going on." An Ran spread his hands and smiled helplessly, "I asked him to help me transfer to become a swordsman, and then he refused to tell me to leave, did I offend him?" ”

"How can this happen?" Da Mo Guyan frowned and said, "When we changed jobs, these NPCs were very enthusiastic, and took the initiative to greet me for a job change, as long as the personal level reached level ten." “

The next two players who came in outside confirmed the truth of what the middle-aged man said, and the two players walked up to the NPC and were warmly received by them, and they looked at the three of them curiously and left satisfied.

"Can you ask other transfer masters?" The desert lonely smoke said directly.

The handsome young man tried to communicate with the other career mentors, but sure enough, all the NPCs ignored him.

"No! They didn't bird me at all, and the system just prompted me that my respect value in Xiliang City was 0. An Ran said with a wry smile.

"What a hell of a life!" Da Desert Lone Yan scolded, "I'll ask"

The middle-aged man stood in place and didn't understand, and after a long while, the desert was lonely and moved again.

"No," Desert Lonely Yanzhi, who returned to the game, said a little frustrated, "I just contacted Huaxia's customer service and reported the situation you encountered to them, and they said that this is a special event triggered by the player in the game, which is a normal situation and cannot be handled." Their suggestion is that you can try to change classes in another place, won't it delay a lot of our players' normal game time? “

"It's okay," An Ran smiled and said, "The world is so big, there is no place to stay here!" I can't change jobs here, I can do it in any other city - by the way, didn't you say you're going to go to a gangster colony? What about them? An Ran found that the names of Changhe, Sunset, Yuan, and Yanluo on the friend list were gray, and asked in an unonline state.

"This girl should still be washing, my cousin should be coming soon, today is the weekend, usually these guys can't sleep." Desert Lonely Smoke explained.

An Ran remembered that his sister and cousin looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, which was still an age of studying, and it was undoubtedly the most comfortable thing for them to sleep lazily on weekends.

"They shouldn't have much time to play games, right?" An Ran said, "Let's just go to the entrance of the dungeon and wait for them." ”

"Fortunately, now they are freshmen, and the study tasks are not too heavy, so they can have some time to go shopping on the weekend, and it is good to exercise their bodies."

What Lonely Smoke in the Desert said bluntly is the truth, and the Huaxia holographic game is indeed quite exercised.

The three of them began to walk out of the city, and when they arrived at the intersection of the street, Da Mo Guyan went straight to a restaurant to buy some buns and drinks, and went to a pharmacy to buy a lot of packs of healing medicine and hemostatic pills, which are used for a while when the next dungeon, everyone's game characters lose blood and physical strength, and can quickly make up for the state.

"Shame!" Da Desert Lonely Smoke walked straight and distributed the things sold to An Ran, "We can only use this to make a living, brother, I don't have much money." ”

"It's enough," An Ran said, "Since it's a copy for everyone to do together, the cost of this will have to be shared equally by everyone, and this is my share." The young man took out the coin from his bag and handed it directly to the desert lone smoke.

In an instant, the lonely face of the desert was very ugly.

"What do you mean by Brother Enron?" He waved his hand and said: "Although I am poor in this game, I will never accept this money, if your brother can look down on my brother and me, we will not say anything to kill monsters and upgrade together, you go to the end of the world, and it doesn't hurt for your brother to accompany you to the end of the world, if you think I'm an eyesore, we can also say goodbye to the mountains and rivers in the future." “

"Ahh That's not what I meant," An Ran was overwhelmed by his words, so he could only take the money back. "Then since you have said so, brother is welcome."

"Isn't that right?" Desert Guyan's face softened, "Originally, under this dungeon, I thought that everyone could upgrade their equipment and release a skill book if they were lucky, so that everyone would have a good and happy life, but now brother, you haven't changed jobs, and there is no demand for the professional equipment in the dungeon, so you have suffered a big loss——"

"-Yes! Now it's your mother-in-law's turn. An Ran pretended to be angry and interrupted the desert lonely smoke.

"All the beautiful clothes I can wear in the copy belong to me, and I don't want to be a wage earner with nothing." Fan Yuntian said coldly. ”

The two people next to them looked at each other and smiled.
