Chapter 2: Glory Launch

"Glory" is an epoch-making virtual online game jointly developed by the world's five major game companies, and it has been skipping tickets for three years now, but every year it has been rated as the most anticipated game by players.

HonorThis game claims to be able to give players an unprecedented sense of substitution, the game is perfectly close to 100%, and the degree of freedom of the game is very high, so it has attracted the attention of the majority of players.

Xu Chuan clearly remembers that when "Glory" was launched, it was really an empty alley and a sea of people.

And with the continuous improvement of the game's popularity, the number of players of Honor is also increasing, with an average of 100 million people online.

Such a large group of players has driven consumption in the world of glory, and the annual consumption of players around the world in the game even exceeds the total consumption in the real world.

The huge consumer base has given rise to a large number of service industries, the most notable of which is the professional gamer group.

At that time, Xu Chuan was a top member of the professional gamer group!

He didn't play games much, all because of his sworn friend Zhang Dali, the two have known each other since childhood, but Zhang Dali's personality is out of touch and he doesn't like to study.

Later, the game industry developed rapidly, so he went to Shanghai to chase his dream, but he was stunned to be mixed up with his personal appearance.

Now he is a professional player called Feng Ling Tianxia Professional Club, with a base salary of 10,000 yuan, and the commission is linked to the money earned in the game.

Back then, after Xu Wenbin died, Xu Chuan was sad and started playing games, originally to escape the pain in reality, but what was unexpected was that Xu Chuan's game talent was very strong.

It quickly adapted to the game of Glory and quickly made a name for himself in the game.

Later, under the attraction of Zhang Dali, he joined Fengling World and became a professional player, and made a fortune ever since.

…………

The game time of Glory is from seven o'clock in the evening to seven o'clock in the morning, a total of twelve hours, which does not affect the work of ordinary people.

This kind of game time limit, one is to prevent addiction, and the other is to protect the balance of the game.

Because with the rise of professional players, if there is no limit to the player's game time, the gap between professional players and ordinary players will be very large, and the harmony of the game will be balanced.

After the game time is limited, since everyone has played for about the same time, the level gap between players will not be too widened to avoid the game crashing.

In this game, there are two camps, namely the Federation of Justice and the Dark Empire.

The main races of the Federation of Justice are: Humans, Dwarves, Orcs, and Elves.

The Dark Empire is composed of two major groups: the undead and the demons, and players can choose different factions at will.

……

Putting on the helmet, Xu Chuan came to the login interface of Glory, and the majestic music gradually sounded, introducing the CG animation of the Justice Federation and the Dark Empire War in front of him.

The first-person perspective makes people feel as if they are there, and all attention is drawn to the picture, the sound of Jin Ge's iron horse and the roar of magic are endless, and people are constantly falling, and blood stains the earth.

At this time, the music stopped, the two big words of glory slowly emerged, and the game officially began.

Xu Chuan quickly selected the character's faction, race, and class, and entered his previous game ID.

The Federation of Justice, Humans, Assassins!

ID: Soul Breaker

Xu Chuan's choice is the same as in the previous life, only by choosing the camp and profession that he was familiar with in the past can he give full play to the advantages of his rebirth and get more resources in the game.

【Ding! Scanning the player's appearance ......]

[After the scan is completed, does the player choose to use the real appearance?] 】

The game is still more intimate, in the game, players can use real appearances, or they can use virtual appearances.

It allows players to avoid the damage of Yan Control in the game~

[Yes, choose to use the real appearance!] 】

Xu Chuan didn't choose his true appearance back then, not because he looked stumbling, but because he didn't want people to recognize him.

But now it's different, men should be confident!

After the character is created, Xu Chuan can see his attribute bar:

Character: Soul Breaker (Justice Federation, Human)

------

After creating the character, Xu Chuan's eyes suddenly went dark, and the next moment the picture lit up again, and Xu Chuan came to the familiar world of glory.

Justice Federation, Maple Leaf Township

Maple Leaf Town belongs to the novice town, which is also known as the novice village.

Maple Town is full of maple trees and flowers, and it is very beautiful.

After a while, as the players continued to pour in, more and more people poured in, and the small town was quickly filled with players.

The NPCs in the town are all blocked by the player's sea of people, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and it is difficult to get close to the cliché to take on the task.

Xu Chuan couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the surging crowd, the familiar game scene, and the novice short knife in his hand that was too weak to kill chickens.

"I'm back!"

The perspective used by Honor is a first-person perspective, and the control of the characters is all completed by the mind, making the player feel as if he has really traveled into the game world, which is very real and has a strong sense of substitution.

There are two types of game modes for Glory: Traditional Mode and Free Mode.

In traditional mode, the player's movements will be more mechanical, and when performing skills, it is very rigid, which is suitable for novice players.

In the free mode, the player's movements are all controlled by the player, which will be very agile during the battle, but it is also very difficult, which is suitable for professional players.

"Free mode!"

For glory, Xu Chuan was already too familiar with it anymore, so he naturally chose the free mode.

After entering the game, players began to pick up some novice tasks or team up to run to the wild to farm monsters and upgrade.

Xu Chuan, on the contrary, ran towards a place with fewer people.

Xu Chuan is not in a hurry to fight monsters and upgrade, but plans to take over some important hidden tasks first!

There are hundreds of them throughout Maple Town

On PC, there are twenty or thirty NPCs with obvious quest hints, and the rest is up to the player to dig up on their own.

For the hidden mission of Maple Leaf Town, Xu Chuan has a deep memory.

At that time, after the hidden mission of Maple Leaf Town was discovered by players, it also caused quite a stir on the game forum.

Xu Chuan soon came to a dilapidated and dark wooden shed.

In the wooden shed, there were beggars in tattered clothes.

When these beggars saw Xu Chuan coming in, they begged forward one after another.

Xu Chuan directly ignored the begging beggars, because he knew that these beggars did not have any effect, and giving them food or money was like a stone sinking into the sea, without a sound.

Back then, there was a player who tried to give something to a beggar, but he didn't get any benefit except thank you.

But in this wooden shed, there is a beggar who is different!

I saw him walk quickly to a beggar sitting in the corner, with disabled legs and empty eyes.

"Uncle, is there anything I can do to help you?" Xu Chuan looked at the NPC in front of him and spoke.

The setting of Glory is very realistic, with a lot of emphasis on the interaction between players and NPCs, and the system also gives NPCs a high level of intelligence.

In the game, if the player wants to receive the task, he needs to trigger the routine one by one.

Especially hidden quests, it takes luck, sometimes the same NPC, different people to ask, the result is also different.

Hearing Xu Chuan's words, the beggar turned his head, his eyes regained a little brilliance, and said, "Can you give me some food?" I haven't eaten in five days. ”

Xu Chuan nodded, and he took out the only novice bread in his bag (non-combat state, which can quickly recover 50 HP)

The beggar took the bread and ate it quickly, and when he had finished it, his face regained its luster, and he spoke slowly, "Thank you, warrior, for being a good man." I have one more request, I wonder if you would like to help me? ”

"What's the matter?"

At this time, the beggar suddenly became very sad, and began to say: "I am a resident of the town, and my family is quite wealthy, and I have a daughter, who is very beautiful. But not long ago, my beautiful daughter was forcibly occupied by Chris, the bully of the town, and my daughter was forced to die by the wicked man, and then we went to him to theorize, and he beat my wife to death, crippled me, and threw me here to die. ”

The beggar's eyes became fierce and he said, "If you can help me kill the bully Chris, I will give you all I have!" ”

Bully Chris is a well-known bully in Maple Leaf Town, a level 10 elite NPC, and there are a bunch of level 10-12 guards around him, if a person wants to kill directly, it is impossible to complete it without level 15 or above, even if it is a team, it takes a lot of people to do it.

But Xu Chuan nodded without hesitation and agreed.

【Ding! System Hint: You have accepted the hidden quest --- Rose's revenge. 】

[Mission content: Within 3 days, kill the bully Chris, and bring Chris's head to Rose to complete the mission.] Mission Time Remaining: 71 hrs, 59 minutes, 58 seconds]

“OK!”

After successfully receiving the hidden task, Xu Chuan looked very happy.

Although this task seems difficult, Xu Chuan knows that there is a very ingenious way to complete this task!

In Glory, many tasks will be very difficult to complete by force alone, but with a different way of thinking and methods, it may be very simple!

In the past, this ultra-high degree of freedom mission mode was only posted on the game forum by players more than two months after the server was launched, which suddenly detonated the entire Glory and made countless players begin to re-recognize Glory, a so-called epoch-making virtual online game.

Before that, most players still followed the previous game thinking, taking on tasks, fighting monsters and upgrading, PK, and rarely paid attention to the hidden plot of the game itself.

Just like Maple Town, where Xu Chuan is located, Maple Town was originally a quiet and peaceful town, but since the arrival of the bully Chris, all kinds of tragic things have begun to happen in the town, and many people have been persecuted to varying degrees, and Beggar Rose is just one of the typical victims.

Therefore, in addition to the various novice missions on the surface, Maple Town also hides a hidden mission to eradicate the bully Chris.

In Maple Leaf Town, in addition to Beggar's Rose's quest, there are actually three hidden quests related to the bully Chris.

These three hidden missions may seem to be independent and unrelated, but if they can all be followed, they will form a perfect plan to kill the bully Chris.

This is the key to Xu Chuan's confidence in solving the bully Chris within 3 days.

After Xu Chuan took over the task of the beggar Rose, he quickly ran in the other direction of the town.

On the way, Xu Chuan found that Maple Leaf Town was already overcrowded, and the small town was already crowded with players, and many people had begun to talk to the NPCs in the town and look for tasks.

In the setting of Honor, the simpler the task, the lower the difficulty of the cliché, and there will generally be obvious prompts.

For example, the armor shop in Maple Leaf Town will write urgently needed supplies at the door, and players can get quest hints as long as they go in and talk to the shopkeeper, but the rewards for this kind of ordinary quest are relatively average.

Like the hidden mission that Xu Chuan received, in the past, it took 1 month after the opening of the server to be discovered by the player by chance. If you don't have the experience of rebirth, you can talk to NPCs purely by luck, and the chances of receiving hidden quests are similar to winning the lottery, after all, there are so many NPCs in the town.

Replaying Glory, Xu Chuan naturally wants to use his prescient advantage to develop, and complete the unknown hidden tasks first, so that he can get some good things.

Because hidden quests tend to be unique, the rewarded items tend to be rarer as well.

For the reborn Xu Chuan, leveling and playing money are not big problems, there are a lot of good ways to make money by leveling up in his head, as long as he is willing to spend time, it is not difficult to level up and make money.

Upgrades can be done at any time, but after the hidden quest is in this village, there is no such shop.

So, it's king to hurry up and complete the hidden mission.

Hidden quests basically give players some rare skills or support items, which will be of great use even if they are very advanced.

Therefore, the more rare good things you have, the more you can set yourself apart. The upper limit in the game will also be higher!

And rare things are expensive, get more rare items, and when the time comes, you can earn more if you want to exchange money.

Thinking that he could have the opportunity to get a lot of rare items that he had not owned before, Xu Chuan was very excited in his heart.

Gaming is not only a way for him to make money, but also his career now!

When he stands at the top of the glorious world one day, the problem of money will not be worried.

------

According to the memory in his mind, Xu Chuan quickly came to a small house, he looked at it a few times, and knocked on the door after making sure it was right.

At first, no one responded, until Xu Chuan bridged for the third time, and the door finally opened.

The door was opened by a young man with a bearded face and sunken eyes, dressed in a gray robe.

That's right!

When Xu Chuan saw the NPC in front of him, he knew that this was the person he was looking for, the suitor of the beggar Rose's daughter, the pharmacist Kenny!

In the glorious world, each NPC is flesh and blood, with its own background, which needs to be carefully experienced by the player.

After the death of Rose's daughter, Kenny, the pharmacist, begins to give up on himself, going to the bar all day long, and every time after drinking, he shouts that he wants to kill the bully Chris.

When a player found out, he stepped forward to talk, only to find out that Kenny, the pharmacist, was an alcoholic who had a hidden mission.

Xu Chuan didn't talk to Kenny in a wordy way, and went straight to the point and said: "I know why you are so sad, I am a friend of the Ross family, and I am sad for what happened to them, so I want to get rid of Chris!" But I'm not strong enough and need your help. ”

【Ding! Kenny's +50 opinion! 】

Kenny's eyes lit up when he heard Xu Chuan's words, and his hangover expression disappeared instantly, and he stepped aside and beckoned Xu Chuan to go to the house.

When the two entered the house, Kenny, the apothecary, had an angry expression on his face and said, "Miss Rose is the most beautiful girl in town, but the bully Chris killed him, I want to kill him and avenge Miss Rose, but I can only refine medicine, and I can't avenge my beloved girl, warrior, as long as you are willing to help, I am willing to help you with all my might." ”

【Ding! You have successfully accepted the request of Kenny the Apothecary for the hidden quest]

[Quest content: Kill the bully Chris, fulfill Kenny's wish, and you will get Kenny's help during the mission.] 】

Xu Chuan saw the task prompt and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"In order to kill Chris, I need a special bottle of poison." Xu Chuan made his intentions clear.

Kenny nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "That's fine, but to refine the poison, I need a special ingredient called the Spider Flower, which will appear near the hills where wolves gather to the north." ”

After Xu Chuan nodded in agreement, he left the house.

Subsequently, Xu Chuan found two NPCs with hidden tasks in Maple Leaf Town, one is the former Maple Leaf Town Security Team Captain Kabona, and the other is the vegetable seller Bansa!

Among them, the former security captain not long ago, because he was not used to the evil deeds of the bully, he stopped it, and then he was beaten into a waste by the bully Chris, which was very miserable; The vegetable seller, on the other hand, was forced to deliver free to Chris, and was oppressed.

Therefore, the two are also full of hatred for the bully Chris, and they both want to kill Chris.

After some conversation, Xu Chuan successfully received the task and received the help of the two.

At the former vigilante, he was given a mission-specific crossbow.

And at the vegetable seller, he got the opportunity to infiltrate the bully Chris's house!

Now he has four hidden missions on him, and the core of the mission is to kill the bully Chris!

At that time, Xu Chuan can complete four hidden tasks at a time, and thinking of the tempting reward, Xu Chuan is so happy that he flies.

In Game Glory, NPCs are unique, just like the bully Chris, if someone receives one of the four missions and successfully kills Chris, then the NPC Chris, the NPC, will disappear, and the other three missions will be automatically listed as failures by the system.

After taking over the task, Xu Chuan was ready to start acting.
