Chapter 4: Luna

In fact, as a professional gamer, Sherlock prefers to stay in the game, where he has a bunch of acquaintances, customers, friends, enemies, and sometimes even girlfriends, but in reality, except for the noodle shop owner and landlord downstairs, he doesn't have any contact with other people, and he doesn't even say a word.

So even though he was living in poverty, Sherlock still ruthlessly accepted a second-hand robot butler, No. 11, and he wanted someone to talk to more than doing housework.

The rest of the time, Natsume spends all his time checking game strategy consulting and fitness, he makes money to better enjoy life, and a good body is obviously the foundation of enjoying life.

After exercising for half an hour, the fried cake on the eleventh was finally ready, and for the first time, shredded meat was added, and Sherlock ate it with relish

"Eleven, look at the game forum, is there any news?"

"Halfling thieves steal from the streets, but who knows that the object is ......; Shocked, the white rich and beautiful man threw millions for only two eggs; 99% of people don't know ,......"

"Stop, stop, this news list is full of headlines, find out if there is any news related to the entry trials and druids."

"Special missions, looking for teammates, no restrictions on class races, S-level professional talent is required, a gratuity of 50,000 gold, plus the right to distribute one item, location, Sequoia Town." After a three-second pause, Eleven's beautiful female voice came out again.

"It's a pity, Sequoia Town is too far away, otherwise when I get the S-rank talent, I can give it a try." Sherlock couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the location, which was in the top five in his order history.

"Next"

"Creek's entry trial revealed, druid."

"Next, forget it, let's play it." Natsume has also seen hundreds of commentary videos of this kind of entry trial, but it is also a good spice to watch the commentary of popular beauties when eating.

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiaoxi, today I bring you the druid's entry trial explanation video, thank you for the video material provided by Canglan's friendship......"

Half an hour later, Natsume turned off the video after eating the last bite of fried cakes, and to be honest, he barely listened to the commentary, just watching the barrage of Xiaoxi and the rest of the audience.

"Then it's time to witness the miracle, the eleventh, and I won't be what I am when I wake up tomorrow morning."

"Asha, I'll stop your disfiguring behavior."

"Eleven, do you really have no feelings, I always feel like you're mocking me." Sherlock sat on the couch and smiled helplessly, then put on his game helmet, completely unaware that the head of Eleven behind him seemed to swing slightly up and down.

"Welcome back to the Forgotten Realm"

Welcomed by the creator god, Sherlock returns to the game once again.

The first thing Sherlock did when he went online was to observe his surroundings, and despite being in the career hall, the act of checking his surroundings first had been deeply imprinted in his mind and formed a conditioned reflex.

"Sherlock."

Just as Sherlock was about to contact his friend to help him get a message from Luna, he suddenly heard a very strange voice call him, strangely like a mechanical voice from the last century, without a trace of flatness and undulation.

"Sherlock, bow your head."

Just like most people, Sherlock subconsciously lowered his head, and saw that the voice was actually a puppet-like creature, why not just say that it was a puppet, probably if you have lived in a magical world for a long time, it is difficult to think about a thing as ordinary.

The puppet-like creature was the size of an adult's palm, wooden, and crudely carved, with limbs and body as if forcibly put together, and the length and thickness were not the same symmetrical, giving people a strong sense of disobedience, in Sherlock's words, full of Luna style.

This is probably the point that Sherlock, who has a little mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, can't stand Luna the most.

"You guessed it right, I'm Luna's puppet,......" the puppet said slowly as he saw Sherlock squatting down.

"Sorry, I didn't guess." This abrupt opening remark, Sherlock, couldn't help but interject and complain.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I may have found the wrong person, but luckily, I almost sent the mission reward to the wrong person." The creature, who called himself the Luna puppet, calmly bent down and said sorry, turned to leave.

"How do I feel like an artificial intelligence can bully me." Sherlock saw the puppet's movements, and couldn't help but think depressedly that he was sneered at by No. 11 in reality, and he had to be played by an NPC puppet in the game.

Sherlock's anger rose from his heart, and evil grew from his guts, and he grabbed the strange puppet.

Gently said, "Lord Puppet, I was wrong. Sherlock silently calculated the balance of his discipline, well, it was enough.

The puppet seemed to want to roll her eyes to make a contemptuous expression, but Luna obviously didn't have this function given by hand, and her face twitched for a long time and then seemed to give up and said: "I'm Luna's puppet, she has divided a part of her consciousness into me, theoretically you can call me Luna, but I prefer you to call me Luna One." ”

"Luna One, doesn't that sound like a copy of someone else?" Shylock, as a hidden, certainly does not forget to show the worldview that all things are equal at this time.

Hearing Sherlock's question, Luna One couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart, glanced up and immediately lowered her head and muttered, "......, the replica is at least an independent entity." ”

"What do you say? And do you want to laugh with this expression? Sherlock apparently didn't hear what the other man said, and was amused by Luna One's strange facial expression.

Luna No. 1 admitted that she was thinking too much, and immediately put away the sadness in her heart, and took out a blue spar from the ring with an expressionless face and handed it over.

Sherlock quickly took the blue spar, but his eyes kept staring at the pocket ring on the puppet's finger, and he almost couldn't help but turn into a robber, he thought that this ring was just a simple ornament, but he didn't expect it to be a space to store items.

Space ring, now even if it only comes with two units of space, it can now be sold for tens of thousands of dollars, this space ring, at least 50,000, Sherlock, a fan of wealth, immediately estimated a price in his heart.

However, it can only be said that the current Sherlock is Too young, too simple, and when he finally saw the attributes of this ring, he realized how shallow his vision was.

"Forget it, there's always a chance." Sherlock set his eyes on the blue hedron in his hand.

Puppet Heart (Puppet Controller)

Quality: Excellent

Purpose: Puppet Luna One's storage and control core

Permissions: Level 1 (Ownership)

Notes: Luna One has her own consciousness and feelings, but is controlled by the Puppet Heart, and is only controlled by the player who has the controller and Luna herself (Luna has supreme control) based on permission.

Not tradable, not dropped, and not stolen

Originally, Sherlock was still thinking about how to bring Luna into the job trial, but he didn't expect that people would have prepared it a long time ago, but unfortunately he only had first-level authority, and he couldn't even see the attributes of Luna One.

Looking at Luna Eleven, who turned into a blue light and entered the heart of the puppet, Sherlock praised that the magic world also has black technology, and took out the S-class employment certificate and walked to the druid mentor.

"Mentor Vesid, I'm ready, help me start the induction trial." Although Sherlock is not fully prepared, he has no time to wait any longer, professional gamers do not need to compete for the first place, but must remain in the first echelon, which is an identity and a price.

The Druid Mentor took the job certificate and looked at Sherlock to reconfirm, "Are you really ready?" ”

"Yes, Mentor"

"Then congratulations in advance on our new partner." Vecid pointed the glowing fragment of World Will in his hand at Sherlock and shook it hard, and as soon as the white light flashed, Sherlock disappeared into the entrance hall.

System Prompt: Players are welcome to enter the Induction Trial, which is divided into three Druids.

System Prompt: In the first scene, natural transformation. As a druid, perceiving nature is the first element, and he transforms into nature by observing and simulating animal forms. Score according to the completion of the transformation, the number of transformations, and the type of transformation, and the time limit is three hours. In this trial, the restriction on natural transformation will be lifted.

System Prompt: The first level of the Induction Trial will start in five minutes, so please be prepared.

The first level of the S-level trial is no different from the scoring and assessment method of other difficulties, but the types of transformation creatures are a little more diverse, but fortunately, the difficulty of the trial is slowly increasing, if you directly let Sherlock transform into a red dragon or even a phoenix, it is estimated that he can play with 0 points.

To be honest, the reason why Sherlock chose the druid profession is because of the Forgotten Realm's signature skill of natural transformation of druids.

If the full freedom mode is a brave attempt, then it is an extremely bold innovation to complete the natural transformation of consciousness and coexistence in the virtual world.

Because the transformation setting of the Forgotten Realm is very interesting, compared to the simple operation of the previous game that can successfully transform as long as you use skills, in the Forgotten Realm, the success of the player's transformation skill in releasing a certain form depends entirely on the manifestation of the image in your mind and the sense of self-consciousness substitution.

To take the simplest example, for example, if you transform into a bird like Bobo, in the previous game it was more like operating a procedurally controlled puppet, but now you actually become a bird called Bobo.

The first test of the Druid's trial is the ability to bring in both manifestation and awareness.

System Prompt: When the preparation time ends, the first S-class Druid Trial - Natural Transformation begins.

System Prompt: Current Target - Jungle Cat (1-20)

In less than two seconds, Sherlock easily completed the transformation, as one of the initial transformation forms, the consciousness and form of the jungle cat have been deeply remembered in his body, and it is not difficult to substitute.

System Prompt: Transform into a Jungle Cat to complete, score 83, next target - Bobo (2-20)

Sherlock is not surprised by the system's score, although his transformation time and transformation form are impeccable, but the mastery of the control of the form of the jungle cat is definitely not perfect, after all, from a person to a walking feline on all fours, there is always an unbreakable barrier in the substitution of consciousness.

The next one is Bobo, although Bobo's level is slightly lower than that of the Jungle Cat, but the difficulty of transforming into flying creatures is far higher than that of felines, even the lowest-level flying creatures - Bobo.

"Wave—wave—"

This time, Sherlock took two minutes.

Although Sherlock did not learn the transformation of Bobo's form, for Sherlock, who had been preparing for a long time, it was not difficult to transform into Bobo's form, and he could barely do it in terms of consciousness substitution.

System Prompt: Transform into Bobo completed, score 72, next goal - Hit the willow (3-20)
