Chapter 2: Semi-NPC Players
Looking at the attribute panel that was not quite the same as that of ordinary players, Ye Xingyu was a little puzzled.
He had seriously studied the official instruction manual for the game before, which is also a must for professional gamers and expert players, and as a person who makes a living from games, this homework is naturally indispensable.
However, he remembered clearly that the player's manual never mentioned such a thing as a half-NPC player, after all, according to common sense, it was impossible for a person like himself to be like this.
He touched his forehead, indicating a headache. Then he patted his head: "If you want to know what's going on, just ask." ”
Ye Xingyu's gaze moved to a button with words in the upper right corner of the property panel, which read: Question Inquiry.
"Ding, Starry Night, do you have any questions you need help with?" A crisp female voice came into my ears.
"Help me find out what a semi-NPC player is." Ye Xingyu asked.
"Ding, this kind of inquiry belongs to a special category of inquiry, and you need to pay a gold coin, and the player has insufficient coins, do you want to continue the inquiry?"
……
Ye Xingyu was speechless for a while, this query question still needs a gold coin, can this game be a little more pitted.
"Can I continue to inquire if I don't have enough gold?" Ye Xingyu asked.
"Players can apply to the system for an emergency loan, the time limit is one game month, each loan does not exceed 10 gold coins, and the loan can be borrowed again three days after the loan is paid off, and the loan interest is calculated at 0.3% of the daily interest, do you want to borrow?"
0.3% interest, Ye Xingyu almost jumped up and scolded the system for this miser, this is not much different from usury, 1 gold coin is 100 silver coins at the exchange rate, and 1 silver coin is 100 copper coins at the exchange rate, that is, 30 copper coins of interest will be paid every day.
You must know that according to the explosion rate of this game, it is good for players to be able to produce 100 copper coins a day in the early stage, and borrowing a gold coin, one-third of a day's efforts will be in vain, which is really dark enough.
"I'm going to apply to the system for a loan of 10 gold coins." Ye Xingyu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled and said.
"Ding, I can't meet your needs, and the emergency loan is limited to inquiries and equipment appraisals."
Ye Xingyu secretly scolded the treacherous system, so that the player's idea of borrowing gold coins from the system, buying good equipment and then farming monsters was broken, and his original careful thinking was useless.
"Borrow 1 gold to ask questions." Ye Xingyu had to compromise.
"Ding, the loan is successful. Players receive 1 gold (for inquiries only), which they need to pay off within a game month, otherwise they will be punished by Divine Punishment and their level will be reduced by 3 levels. ”
"Ding, the question was successfully inquired.
[Semi-NPC Player]:
Cause: The system cannot explain it
Usage introduction: Players can create two identities, one player identity and one NPC identity, and players can switch identities between player identities and NPC identities, and can only switch up to two times a day, and the duration of each identity is not limited.
Identity restrictions: 1. Players cannot set a respawn point, and after death, they will randomly return to the nearest novice village2. Players cannot adjust the sensitivity of the five senses, the tactile sensation is 100% by default, the pain perception is 80% by default, and the default is 50% when dying
Special Effects: When the player is in the NPC state, all stats are increased by 10%, and the NPC will treat you as of the same kind.
Note: The conversion time of the two identities takes 60 seconds, and the conversion process can be interrupted, once the conversion process is interrupted, the player's identity transformation fails at the same time, and it is in a weakened state, and all attributes are reduced by 30% for one week.
Warning: Due to the peculiarity of the player's identity, once the player dies, the level data will be directly cleared by the system. ”
"The level is directly cleared? That is, after each death, the level drops directly to level zero? ”
The first thing Ye Xingyu saw at first glance was not the attribute bonus in front, but the last line of big characters with blood-red warning marks.
Ye Xingyu exhaled deeply, the level was directly cleared, this death punishment is really serious, others die one level at a time, and their own death is reduced to level zero.
It's not much in the early game, but the more you go to the back, the more serious it gets, and the more you get to the back, the more competitive the game becomes, and the greater the probability of death.
Just imagine, when you die once when you are level 80 or level 90, this is almost equivalent to a direct deletion.
sighed again, and now there was no room for his choice, so he had to put this aside and look at the other contents.
"10% bonus to all attributes!" Ye Xingyu was a little excited, this effect was already very powerful.
Keep in mind that players can change classes at level 10, and different classes have different attribute bonuses.
The Warrior's strength is 15% statistical, the Assassin's attack speed is 15% after stealth, the Rogue's movement speed is 15%, and the Archer has a 15% stat bonus to attack range.
It is precisely because of these attribute bonuses that the different professions are clearly differentiated, each with its own advantages and division of labor, and the direct 10% bonus of all attributes in the state of your own NPC shows the strength of your identity.
As for the switch state will be interrupted and its sequelae, this is not a problem, as long as you are cautious, you can switch your identity in a safe environment.
He casually pulled up the NPC identity panel, and sure enough, there was an option to create a character at the bottom of the panel, but it was now grayed out. Ye Xingyu tried to click.
"Ding, the game hasn't been launched yet, and you can't create characters for the time being."
It seems that we can only wait until the server is opened.
Calculate the time, when he entered here, there were still three days before the game was launched, and in reality, the time ratio between the game and the game was 1:3, and now the game level has passed almost three days, which means that he has to wait for six days to start the service.
For six days, he had to find a way to improve his strength as much as possible, and he entered the game before the other players, which was an opportunity.
He has also basically understood his current situation in the past few days, and he has been reborn into a small NPC village called Nomad Village.
This village was founded on a grassland, and the people of the village were originally nomadic for generations, but later found that the grassland grass here was excellent, so they established a village, so it was called a nomadic village.
The villagers here are simple and kind, and their presence does not seem to have affected them, so they should do what they should do.
Ye Xingyu also tried to take tasks from villagers at the beginning.
However, the answer he received was either "Young man, your spirit of helping others is admirable, but I don't need help" or "Little doll, your strength is too weak to help me".
For three days, he had traveled almost the entire village, but he had not received a single mission.
He also understood that it seemed that it would be impossible for him to take the task without opening the service.
However, in the past three days, he has not found nothing, I don't know if the system sees him as pitiful, he actually received a job of delivering a letter at the village sentry post.
A copper coin back and forth, and about four or five trips a day, although the oil and water are pitiful, but it is better than nothing, and he takes this opportunity to get along with the villagers is not bad.
With copper coins, Ye Xingyu naturally thought about how to expand his advantage, so after several attempts, he finally found that he could spend copper coins to learn life skills, calculate the time, as long as he went to NPC Grandma Wang's house tomorrow to learn for another hour, he could learn [Elementary Sewing Technique].
Now Ye Xingyu still has 5 copper coins left on his body, but thinking that he just owed the system a gold coin, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Ye Xingyu stood up and looked at the grassland that could not be seen in the moonlight.
The grassland under the moonlight also has a unique flavor, but faintly, in a gust of fresh wind, with the undulation of the weeds, you can see a pair of green seeping eyes as if looking at themselves, and there seem to be bursts of wolf howls coming from them.
Ye Xingyu smiled, and there was no fear in his eyes.
These are the wolves of the savannah, the most common wild monsters in the prairie, according to the NPC villagers, these steppe wolves are probably at least level 10, and even these NPCs dare not go out at night.
And Ye Xingyu dared to come here, not because he was bold, but compared to the villagers, as a player, he could clearly see that a huge shield protected the entire village, which should be the protection mechanism of the novice village.
When he knew that he was reborn in the game, his first thought was to take on the task of fighting monsters and upgrading to improve his strength.
However, this heavy shield prevented him from stepping out of the village, which was a real headache for him.
Sighing again, Ye Xingyu looked at the sky where light began to appear, and slowly turned around and walked towards the village, a new day was about to begin.
In a corner of the night, a pair of dark blue eyes different from the steppe wolf watched Ye Xingyu's back disappear in front of the faintly visible small village, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
