Chapter 1: The World at War
With a bright light in front of him, the figure of a beautiful woman with beautiful short hair was suspended in front of Levi, and at the same time, a soft female voice also sounded: "Hello players, welcome to the world of war, Majas, I am your virtual assistant Mara, next please create your game character, please decide your game name in the world of war." ”
Looking at the charming woman in front of every strand of hair that is exquisite, Levi's eyes can't help but change, it seems that this game is really not a teaser deception, in addition to the virtual assistant in front of her face is too perfect, some do not look like a real person, her expression, her posture, including the texture of her clothes are almost no different from the real society, this is a real virtual reality game!
Levi barely suppressed his shock, which made him want to get into the game as soon as possible.
"Well, if it's a name, let's use Levi's, and change my real name a little bit."
For the nickname, Levi had already prepared in advance, although the game company had vaguely said that there were indeed a small number of Chinese elements in the game, but from the various display videos full of European medieval style, everyone knew that this was a very serious Western fantasy game.
And based on the intelligent AI of the NPC claimed by this game, the name can't be too random as before.
If you see an NPC like a nobleman, people call it Viscount William, Count Hank, etc., and you call it a fool who is floating in the wind or Uncle Wang next door, just thinking about it, you will feel a chill.
And Levi added a Si to the end of his name, which is also a common Chinese and Western name. Whether it's in the Western fantasy game or the Oriental fantasy game, there is no big problem, he still has a certain fantasy about the ancient oriental country that the official hides and refuses to say, and it will not be too outrageous to use this name when the time comes.
"Please select your ethnicity." With the words of the virtual assistant, a huge virtual screen appeared in front of Levi, and hundreds of illusory figures appeared on it, which made Levi a little dazzled for a while. (From now on, the main character will be called Levi)
Levi hurriedly waved his hand: "Stop, give me a rough introduction to the camp first, if you choose one by one, it will be too troublesome." ”
Although Levi knew from the demo video that there were many races in this game, he didn't expect that there were so many races that players could choose from, and it would be a waste of time if he looked at them one by one.
"Okay."
The virtual assistant immediately disappeared from the goodness, and the picture on the big screen disappeared instantly, replaced by a virtual large map, flashing with various colors, and the map looked not much different from the map of the real world earth, except that there was a huge annular continent in the position of the Atlantic Ocean, and it seemed to be the legendary Great Western Continent?
"At present, there are two opposing camps in the world of war that have been opened, including the order camp and the chaos camp."
"Order and chaos? Isn't it good and evil? And there are two that have been opened, that is, there are actually more camps? ”
Levi has some doubts, it's really because the official information about this game is too conservative, and almost nothing useful has been announced, but helplessly, their quality is too high, the trial video exceeds most of the existing similar games, and almost every frame can be screenshotted as a screensaver, so even if the official cover is no longer happy, Levi still rushed over without hesitation, and even for the current advance version of the limited account, Levi spent 30,000 oceans on the black market.
"Yes, the Order Camp and the Chaos Camp are the divisions of the war world, and there are indeed more factions, but at the moment players can't choose." For some reason, at this moment, Levi felt that there seemed to be some strange emotion in the words of the virtual assistant who called himself Marat.
But Levi didn't get too hung up, he couldn't wait to learn more about the game.
"Then explain to me a little bit about the concept of these two camps."
"Okay," the virtual assistant Marat nodded slightly, "the concept of the Order faction is that they are all builders at heart, not destroyers, and they will work hard to build their own homes. Although they will fight among themselves due to various interests, when faced with a difficult situation, such as the attack of the chaotic camp, they will temporarily abandon the opposition and contradiction between each other and unite the members of the other order camp to fight together against the greater threat. ”
"The concept of the chaos camp is that they are essentially saboteurs of chaos, and they wage war for different purposes, whether it is for revenge, it may be for intrigue, or simply to satisfy their desire to kill, but they all have one thing in common, and that is that they will bring slaughter and destruction."
"While it is possible for them to face a common enemy out of interest, they will rarely have a firm and unified covenant, they will usually fight on their own, and for some benefit, they can go to war with impunity against their allies at the last moment."
Levi feels a little interesting, because other games are all about the confrontation between good and evil, light and darkness, while the world of war Marjans takes a more alternative approach, but this division is also very good, because there is no pure and absolute justice or goodness in this world, at least for human beings.
"Tell me about the chaos camp first." In general, Levi's tends to learn about the secondary options first, and choose his favorite last.
"Okay, please note that the following races are for display purposes only, and some races may not be available at this stage." With the voice of the virtual assistant, dozens of guys who are not good people at first glance, no, and most of them are not even human appeared on the screen.
"There are seventy-three races in the chaotic camp,
It can be roughly divided into the barbaric system dominated by green skins, the undead system dominated by undead spirits, and the dark system dominated by dungeon forces.
Among them, the barbarian system includes ogres, greenskins, beastmen, Skaven ratmen, etc.;
The undead include vampires, skeletons, zombies, ghosts, and more;
Dark genres include dark elves, cavemen, gray dwarves, and more. ”
Levi glanced up and down, and found that except for the dark elves, most of the races were completely inconsistent with his aesthetics, like that green skin, a large square face, green fangs, and a vegetable green, still a heavenly man, just this is still the best in the chaos camp, and the other races can be imagined.
Even the dark elf with the highest appearance does not meet Levi's aesthetics, although if you look at the face alone, the appearance is still quite high, and the overall proportion of the body is also quite good, but his heavy dark circles, as if he has not seen the light for decades, pale skin, and a pair of long, pointed donkey ears...
So Levi waved his hand neatly, "Let's take a look at the order camp." ”
"Okay."
The light curtain changed rapidly, and dozens of figures appeared on the screen, and this time Levi found that they looked much more pleasing to the eye, and there were even several races that made Levi a little surprised.
"There are eighty-two races in the Order camp,
Among them, it is roughly divided into the royal system dominated by humans, including the empire with steel and gunpowder as weapons, Bretonnia is famous for its excellent knights, and Kislev, a land of ice and snow located in the north, etc.;
The natural system is dominated by high elves, wood elves, dwarves and halflings;
and the Servants of the Ancient Saints, mainly the Demon Toad, the Lizard Man, and the Amazon, and so on. ”
"Devil toad? Lizardmen? How do they count as the Order faction? ”
Looking at the monster toad that only has a human shape, but actually has a toad head and a huge, inflatable belly, and then looks at the guy with a lizard head, lizard claws, and even a long and thick tail, Levi was a little confused for a while, these guys are all orcs, right?
"They are indeed the camp of order, because they are the gods who created this world, that is, the ancient saints themselves, and they are here to defend this world. Since the player's range of action in the early stage is roughly located in the old world where there are many humans, and in the middle stage, they will slowly come into contact with the High Elves and the Servants of the Old Sage, so races such as the High Elves and Lizardmen are not among the initial optional races. ”
After listening to the words of the virtual elves, Levi was very regretful, it turned out that those who only belonged to the order race, but were not optional races, it turned out that he was still more inclined to choose those who looked noble and elegant, gorgeously dressed, and had pointed ears with a proud expression, that is, the high elves.
Although the wood elves are also elves, they are too different in appearance, dressed in leaf clothes, with green on their heads, and look like primitive people.
But now there is no way, under the urging of the other party, he still made a choice: "I choose humans." "Either way, humans are one of the masters of the world, much stronger than those halflings and the like.
"Okay." Most of the figures on the virtual screen suddenly dissipated, and there were less than ten left.
"Please choose further, the empire of steel, magic and gunpowder, the chivalrous Bretonnia, the bitter cold of the north, the dog of war Tyrell, the southern kingdom of Arabi, the border prince of the land of chaos, the city-state alliance of Estalia, or other countries?"
"Can you explain that a little bit more for me?" Although from the other party's name and appearance, as well as the previously officially announced trial video, Levi has a general understanding and has a preliminary choice, but he still wants to hear what the other party has to say.
However, the virtual assistant smiled and refused Levi's request: "Sorry, hello players, you have run out of time to explain, please create your character as soon as possible." ”
Levi pouted: "Okay, I choose the Empire." ”
Although each country has its own unique class, Levi has his eye on the Empire, because in the official video, they not only have magic, but in this game similar to the European Middle Ages, they even have tanks and cannons!
With Levi's words, all the other figures disappeared suddenly, leaving only a young man with black eyes and long black hair, a high nose bridge, and delicate skin, although he still looks a little childish, but his eyes are very bright and bright, which is Levi's appearance in the real world, and it seems that he has also done some whitening treatment, and he looks more handsome than usual.
Leaviston felt that his money was not spent in vain, and if he took a screenshot and posted it to the campus network now, he would definitely be able to gain a lot of fans.
