Chapter 22: The Second Day

July 28, 2019, 07:48.

The man was lying on the kang and rolling from side to side with the quilt in his pocket.

Yesterday he looked at his phone for an hour and went to bed at 11 p.m.

rubbed his eyes, and sat on the kang a little confused. The man crawled to the east side of the kang with a sigh of relief, and his mobile phone was left there to charge it overnight.

Unlock the phone and light up the screen and look at the time: 07:50.

"Ha~ It's time to get up." Stand on the kang and bend down, pick up the quilt with both hands and fold it simply.

The man's surname is Ding, and his name is Youming. He is 25 years old, single (virgin), unemployed. He lived with his father in the countryside of Northeast China, and his mother died of illness when he was 21 years old.

After folding the quilt, the man lay down again, leaning sideways and looking at the phone in his hand, his fingers sliding across the screen from time to time.

The man's trip was about 20 minutes, and by the time he got up, it was already 8:13.

Put on your slippers and remove the cloth that covers the monitor, which is meant to keep dust out.

Finger pressed the power button on the computer case, felt the button sink, and then turned and walked outside.

His house is a three-room tiled house, and the east side room is a bedroom. Although it is a bedroom, it also functions as a living room, because it is also a room where guests are entertained.

The middle room is a place to eat and cook, and the west room has been "deserted". When Ding Youming's mother was still alive, he slept in the West Room, which has never been slept in since his mother died.

There was a thick layer of black ash in the room.

Not only the western house, but also the other two rooms are in a similar situation. When a family is gone, a woman becomes such a light and shadow.

A layer of yellow oil hung from the wall of the wok, and the cooktop below the wok was a thick, greasy black. Anyone who has ever cooked should know what it is, it is formed by the smoke of stir-frying.

They don't have a range hood at home, and the "noble" appliance of air conditioning naturally doesn't exist. On this hot July day, only an electric fan can blow.

Go to the middle room and open the lid of the wok, which contains the water in the oil pan.

Covered the pot and walked a few steps, came to the tap water and turned on the faucet, put the water on his face with both hands, and simply rubbed it, which is to wash his face.

After looking at the dishes and chopsticks that had been soaked all night, he turned his head and walked out of the house. After walking out of the house, go west, there is a path on the west side, which leads to the back of the house.

Walked to the back of the room and stuck to the corner, took off his pants and took out a gun, releasing the human waste water for a night.

When I was done, I put on my pants and went back to the east room, and the computer was already on.

Pull the chair back, sit on it with your buttocks, and lift the chair forward with both hands.

Attention is on the screen, and the familiar operation is still the same: enter, output PIN, enter, enter the system.

After looking at the person on the desktop for a few seconds, press the Win key, open Steam with the mouse, find the "World with Unknown Name" in the library, click it to open the details, and start pressing the mouse against the blue.

The game loads slowly, and it doesn't run the game when you click to start, and it's a program called the "Game Runtime Component".

The game runtime component is followed by the anti-cheat platform, followed by the game engine, and finally the game body.

The whole process took about 5 minutes, and the man listened to the song with headphones on and waited patiently.

"620G games, slow down, slow down. When I played the DNF game, that time was not counted in minutes? ”

This is what Ding Youming said when he logged into the game for the second time, and he didn't seem to be impatient.

After 5 minutes, the game login screen appears.

Enter the name of the man in the game account, Ding Youming, and then enter the account password, the man's ID number. After clicking confirm, a dialog box will pop up, which says: You need to verify your identity with a camera, please confirm whether your current environment is convenient. Whether

Ding Youming chose yes, and then his face appeared on the screen, green dots and blue lines flashing on his face.

Three seconds later: Authentication succeeded, checking for updates......

Three seconds later: Downloading update, file size 268MB, 4.1% downloaded......

It is automatically installed after the download is completed, and the game is automatically entered after the installation is completed, and there is no such process as selecting a character in this game.

As soon as the game screen was loaded, a frightened voice sounded in the headphones: "You, you, who are you??

It was a boy who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, carrying a bamboo basket on his back and a small scythe in his hand.

"What's the situation? When I quit the game last night, there was no such person! ”

Ding Youming couldn't figure it out, even if he refreshed the NPC, it should be a monster, how could he refresh himself in this wilderness? Press the V key to turn on the voice: "Who are you?" ”

"Who are you?" The boy's tone changed markedly, from frightened to calm.

Ding Youming looked at the avatar in the upper left corner of the game screen, thought for a while, and said, "My name is Lyons, I am an adventurer, I just came down from the mountain, where is here?" Do you know how to get around Valesgow City? ”

He didn't want to waste his time on NPCs, it was the most important thing to go to Valesgow City, which was 500 gold.

"You're an adventurer?"

"Yes, where is this?"

"Under the ValhΓ£o Mountain." After speaking, the boy bent his legs and knelt on the ground: "Please help us!" ”

Looking at the boy kneeling down in the picture, Ding Youming thought to himself: "This is a side quest?" "What annoys him the most is the side quest, which in their Northeast dialect is 'grinding'! Either run from A to B, or go to XXX to kill XXX. Or get XXX and hand it over to XXX, it's annoying to think about it. Immediately said: "I refuse! After that, hold down the W key to control the character to move forward.

The boy looked at Lyons' back, thought for a moment and got up from the ground, and ran after Lyons.

Ding Youming controls the character to walk, no matter how fast he is, he is not as fast as the NPC's running, and he is caught up by the NPC in a few seconds. Looking at the NPC catching up behind him, he thought, "Damn, it's endless, isn't it?" ”

Move the mouse in your right hand to control your character's turn. When the boy NPC appears on the screen, hold down the CapsLock key, followed by the number 2 button on the W key.

A sword appears in the frame, held in the character's right hand, and it is the newly acquired equipment 'Lang Ao's Sword'.

Ding Youming is very unhappy with this NPC now. Playing games, of course you're going to kill you if you're not happy.

Hold down the W key with your left hand to control the character to walk towards the NPC, while your right hand controls the mouse to raise your arm.

When the boy saw Lyons draw his sword and come towards him, his body trembled slightly, and said, "Don't, don't kill me!" I, I know how to get to the city of Valesgow. ”

Whether it is an online game or a stand-alone game, as long as it is a role-playing game, it has a plot, especially a stand-alone game, and the plot is the most important.

The main mission of the game revolves around the plot, which is called the main quest, and the player understands the plot and unlocks the secrets behind the plot as the main quest progresses.

In addition to the main quest, there is also a quest that has little or no relevance to the plot, and this kind of quest is called a side quest.

There are three types of side quests, the first of which is an entertaining quest that has nothing to do with the main story.

The second is a quest that has nothing to do with the main story and has great rewards.

The third is a pre-quest that has a certain relationship with the main story.

Although the pre-quest is also a side quest, it is just as important as the main quest. Because if you don't do the pre-task, you can't activate the subsequent main quest, or the main quest can't be completed.

There are many games with this kind of setting, and it is extremely common in large-scale single-player games. But there is no such setting in the game "World with an Unknown Name". Because there is no so-called main story in this game, each player has his own and cannot replicate a unique plot.

In this game, the only thing that can influence the player is themselves, the choices they make at a certain point and moment!

If Ding Youming chooses to ignore the NPC, it will not affect him to go to Valesgow City, the process will be different, but the result will be the same.

But after listening to the NPC's words, Ding Youming decided to help the NPC. Because he thinks that this is a prerequisite that cannot be skipped, and if you want to go to Valesgow City, you must help NPCs, and if you don't help NPCs, you can't go to Valesgow City.
