1. The world of the game
The air suddenly became fresh, and Xia Zuo, who had been blowing the air conditioner in the office for a long time, felt that the breath flowing through his nostrils seemed to smell of green forests and mountains.
“... That's in the mountains! ”
After a moment of drowsiness and darkness, Xia Zuo opened his eyes and exclaimed as he looked at the forest path leading to the bottom of the mountain.
It's noon, and the sun is only half-exposed at the edge of the clouds.
Xia Zuo sat with his back to the stone platform of the holy spring water in the center of the altar, and he remembered that this circular altar was surrounded by four pillars engraved with god patterns and strange characters, which was all too familiar.
There are also two red and blue moons in the corner of the sky that are not dazzling because the sun is not dazzling. The angle of the sun at noon should not reveal the moon.
Isn't this the world of Dragons & Swords & Sorcery!? What's more obvious is that when Xia turns his eyes left and moves his gaze to the edge of the eye socket, the health bar, mana bar, experience points next to Lv1, minimap, and other UI options will gradually appear... There are also skill hotbars and item hotbars, but there are no ones on them.
Xia Zuo stood up and rubbed the corners of his inner eyes, the realism made him very sure that this was not a dream, and tried to remember what happened earlier, how did he cross over!?
The first is a clue about this new world, a fantasy-style RPG found on Steam three months ago - Dragon & Sword & Sorcery. Listed on February 29, 2022.
Because a large map, different NPCs and random encounter plots are randomly generated at each start, the playability is extremely high, and it has received most praise in the comment area.
The plot is randomized according to the AI of the NPC, there is no main ending, and usually the game character survives for 72 hours, which can be regarded as a clearance.
At this time, the game will ask the player whether it is over, select End, and the system will give the player the corresponding rewards, which may be skills or props, which cannot be obtained during the game. Players can restart the game with rewards, and the map structure and NPCs will be different after the new opening.
Of course, players can also choose to continue the game, forfeit their current reward, and stay until the next 72 hours. However, after 72 hours of play, players will get tired of exploring the map and NPCs, and it is a good idea to start over with rare rewards.
It's such a game, Xia Zuo played it five times, and the rewards for the first four clearances were all drawn magic scrolls, and the fifth time was a skill - automatic dodge and counterattack.
The combat part of the game is similar to that of Dark Souls, Assassin's Creed, and Batman, with anti-counter or parry settings.
The game right mouse button long press for defense, if the enemy attacks a moment before the player presses the right mouse button, immediately achieve a dodge plus counterattack, the timing is very demanding, when surrounded by enemies or against strong enemies, the success of parrying will bring great fun to Xia Zuo.
Who knew that when the fifth week was completed, the system gave this. Just like the rhythm master becomes hands-free and the phone automatically helps you clear the level, what other challenges are there in that combat part? Not nervous at all, Xia Zuo decisively canceled the clearance and chose to continue playing.
At that time, the background drawing software was rendering the finished picture, the video editing software was also exporting the video, and Xunlei was also downloading the ultra-high-end notebook of the file, making a joke to Xia Zuo, who couldn't help but work and play games, - it was stuck.
The picture is frozen in the game.,It's stuck thoroughly.,Mouse、The keyboard can't move.,Ctrl+alt+delete is not easy to make.,Xia Zuo can hear the fan making a sound similar to a turbo engine.。
This is the first time this computer has been like this, and it was not much of a problem to open two more graphics card killers in the past.
A few seconds later,The game screen finally advanced a frame.,There seems to be some bugs.,The pop-up window to choose whether to clear the customs automatically clicked "Yes",The precious scrolls obtained from clearing the first five weeks in the backpack bar,It was automatically consumed at once.,Three secret teleportation scrolls and two epic summoning scrolls。 The use of one scroll can bring a full screen of magic effects, which burns the graphics card, and this time it is five at the same time.
Probably, the computer is blown up, right? Xia Zuo thought to himself, but he didn't have the last memory, and when he woke up, he had already appeared here, and the altar, the place where the save and blood was restored, was also the starting point for the start of the new game.
Xia Zuo turned his head and saw his reflection from the water tray containing the holy spring, which was the image of himself pinching his face, according to the game design, he should pinch his face again when he started again, but now there is no such step.
The current Xia Zuo is a young man wearing an initial linen coat, an inferior leather waist bag, and short dark blue hair, with three-dimensional facial features, in addition to hair color, height and appearance, which was pinched by Xia Zuo before and looked very similar to himself in real life. Thanks to this, now he controls this 177cm body very kindly.
I smelled this old linen coat, and it stinked as if there were twenty hands. But my arms, wrists, and other skin don't smell... Who wore this dress before?
"Heh~" He grinned in a complicated mood, reached out and stirred the water in the holy spring a few times, it was cold and cold.
Dragons & Swords & Sorcery, a game played with a keyboard and mouse sitting in front of a computer, has now become more realistic than VR. The 3D modeling and material maps you see on the screen now don't feel fake at all, and it's more realistic than playing a hundred HD patches.
The effect of water is the same, Xia Zuo held the spring with both hands, and the crystal slipped away from his fingers, and he immediately buried his head in sucking a sip, which was actually better than dozens of bottles of mineral water in the supermarket......
In the original game, doing this action can return to blue blood and save by drinking spring water, but Xia Zuo's vision did not pop up the save page, and nothing happened.
Because the health bar and the blue bar are full, there is no other change.
He hesitated, it seems that there is still something different, why don't you take the initiative to open the menu page and take a look, maybe you can choose to quit the game, and you can return to the original world?
When the eyeball is in the center range, the field of vision is no different from the original world, only when the eyeball turns to the edge of the orbit, the UI interface will be displayed, Xia Zuo thought to himself that it was really a thoughtful design.
There is a gear-shaped UI icon in the upper right corner of the field of vision, Xia Zuo habitually moved his right index finger, realizing that he didn't hold a mouse in his hand at all... How do you open it?
Xia Zuo began to stare at the icon, he is also a person who has played with VR equipment, there is no VR equipment controlled by the controller, generally as long as you stare at the icon for a short time, you can click.
Five minutes passed... Nothing happened.
The more I waited, Xia Zuo's desire to return to the original world became stronger and stronger, if I remember correctly, I had to hand over the designed poster to the client this afternoon, and the video advertisement that had to be completed in two days on the other side had to be revised quickly...
I'm just an ordinary young man who has just graduated from school, enjoying the life of an ordinary office worker in peacetime, alternating between work and weekends, brushing Weibo in my spare time, watching fans, chasing dramas, playing games, going to supermarkets and online shopping to get all daily necessities, adventures and fights, etc., obviously holding the device to play games can be satisfied, there is no reason to invest all your life here.
Xia Zuo, who was anxious, began to look up and down the UI icon and squeezed his eyebrows, but the icon seemed to be printed in his retina, and his hands couldn't touch it.
Suddenly, the menu page opened—a blink of the left eye.
"Oh!" Xia Zuo sighed with his palms together.
The summary found that these icons, as long as the eye looks at them, the left eye is open, and the right eye is returned.
Xia Zuo couldn't wait to find the option to quit the game in the menu page, and the first line down were: back to the game, screen settings, sound settings... There is no option to exit to the main menu, or to exit to Windows.
His eyebrows, raised excitedly, slowly descended for a moment, and then seemed to be frozen and motionless.
It seems that tossing in place is not a solution, Xia Zuo quickly adjusted his mentality and made a good decision - to find a way to go back, otherwise, he would live a life in this world no less than the original.
What's next? Xia Zuo looked at the small map in the lower right corner of his field of vision, winked at it, and immediately opened the map page, except for the small white arrow icon that represented himself, and the surrounding area was full of fog.
Xia Zuo is not surprised, because every time the game is restarted, every grass and tree, every mountain, every building, every piece of water, etc. on the map is randomly generated, and only where the player has walked can be clearly seen from the map, and the unexplored area will always be hidden under the fog unless special means are used.
No matter how the map changes, one thing is fixed, there will be a beginner village in front of the initial altar road, which will be used for teaching and initial leveling.
So the next step, let's go there, Xia Zuo decided.
Since you are going to be active in this world for the time being, it is necessary to find out your own situation.
Along the way, Xia Zuo took a closer look at the icons.
Open the backpack slot and equipment slot are empty, and there is nothing to see for the time being.
Switch horizontally to the character's stats bar with a decisive wink:
「
Lv1
Attack, 5, defense, 5 speed, 3 accuracy, 30%
Magic attributes: 103 ice, 64 water, 12 fire, 12 wind, 9 thunder, 19 earth, 23
Magic Resistance: 56 Ice, 40 Water, 10 Fire, 10 Wind, 10 Thunder, 10 Earth
Skill Held: None
Life Skills: Forging Lv1 Textile Lv 1 Alchemy Lv 1 Gathering Lv 1 Crafting Lv 1 Cooking Lv 1...
……
」
It's the random attribute that is familiar with the beginning.,The basic attribute is just a bonus.,In the end, you have to count weapons and equipment... Xia Zuo pursed his mouth, it looked a little biased, it should be better to be the first to learn ice magic, so I don't want it at the moment.
