A baker's dozen

The white light flashed like that, and I subconsciously closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes again, the afterglow was still there, but the environment around me had been turned upside down. In that flash, I felt my body moving rapidly. It was an indescribable feeling, as if I had become data, quickly simmering back and forth between another large pile of data. There are all kinds of sounds ringing in my ears, and the wind around me is up and down. It seemed like a long time, and it seemed like there was no delay at all, for a moment: it was all over. The change came so quickly that I rubbed my eyes so hard. Only then did I get used to it. I guess that's what teleportation feels like.

There are no hills, villages or woods all around. In front of me was a tall gate, and it was too high! I can completely imagine how huge Lanfeng City is through this city gate.

The city gate is hung upside down. As the huge gate slowly hung upside down, it reached the edge of the moat, forming a bridge to the main city. The moat is wide and deep, and you can walk on the edge of the bridge and look down. I saw that the river below was turbulent, and any person or thing that accidentally fell into it would be ruthlessly swept away, turning into a whirlpool and disappearing into the distance.

What a solid Lanfeng City! It deserves to be one of the 500 main cities.

The guards at the gate are all orcs, all over 2 meters tall. They were dressed in bright armor and held greatswords in their hands. Energetic and always observing the situation around me. The guards on the city walls are rows of elven hunters. Armed with longbows, they patrolled the walls day and night.

Under the watchful eye of the tall guards, a few of us walked into the city.

As soon as I passed the cold city gate, it suddenly opened up.

Hundreds of thousands of players, along with tens of thousands of NPCs, have gathered here to make it a hub of economy, communication, and politics.

Naturally, we separated. Ah Hao was going to find a tavern, and the sisters went shopping hand in hand. The Magic Flute says he's going to find a sub-class mentor, and the Greataxe follows him. After playing the game for a few days, I entered the main city for the first time. Everyone was excited.

I also wandered around the street aimlessly, and soon I found a huge old building. In front of two huge gateposts, people came and went. And it looks like the players are coming in and out.

I grabbed a random player and asked in a friendly voice, "Friend, what is this place?" ”

I was holding me by a human watchman, who looked at me contemptuously and patted the spot I touched. "Boy, this is not where you came from. Hurry up and level up! ”

Why? I'm curious. But I didn't go any further. The way he looked at me made me uncomfortable.

Forget it, go in and see for yourself.

I walked into this classical and magnificent building and came to a large hall.

The hall can accommodate thousands of players, and the large hall is filled with many tables and chairs. There are NPCs at the long table, quickly registering something. Behind it are the expectant eyes of a large number of players.

A beautiful Woman NPC shouted, "The application is approved!" Guild No. 3809 was approved. She said as she handed a freshly painted piece of parchment to one of the players.

The player was elated, and judging by his shining golden gear, he was at least level 30. Completed 2 turns.

He turned to his companions behind him and said, "Successful application!" Our Black Dragon Knights are born! ”

Dozens of players cheered together, and the crowd even carried him out of the hall.

It turned out to be a place to apply for a guild.

Knights of the Black Dragon? Are their guilds all knights? But something isn't right, I'm not the last knight in the game.

Curious, I sat down in front of an idle NPC, and the female elf NPC looked at various materials and asked without raising her head, "Is it to apply for a guild or a chamber of commerce?" ”

"Neither." I answer honestly.

The elf looked up at me in surprise.

"If I could, I'd like to see all the guild materials." I make this request.

"Uh, this. You can find all the information in Guild Applicants, but ...... As our headquarters, we can naturally provide it as well. "It's weird, you're the first person to come directly to the headquarters to inquire about the information." ”

Receiving a thick book of materials from her hand, I smiled apologetically: "Actually, I entered the city for the first time and came here by accident. You told me to find the mysterious applicant, and I couldn't find it. ”

The elf didn't look up at me this time, she quickly flipped through the information and said, "Oh, good luck then." ”

I also looked at the materials in my hand. In just a few days, thousands of guilds and chambers of commerce have been born.

Because I was born in a newbie concentration camp that had just been set up by computers, not only was the pace of upgrading much slower, but I also got too little information.

As long as the level is level 30 and the 2nd turn quest is completed, you will have a certain reputation. (Fame is a hidden stat that can be viewed in specific NPCs in the main city.) You can buy a guild application form here for 10 gold coins to fill out, and if there are no big problems, you will get permission to establish a guild. If you apply for the Chamber of Commerce, you will have to pay an additional tax of 30 gold coins.

I looked at the guild profiles one by one. The name of the first guild is the Illuminati, and judging from the name, this guild should be established by brave players who yearn for the light.

The second person who applied for the guild was a little clever, and his guild name was also Mysterious. If you join this guild, put the guild on a bright spot - mysterious members, mysterious leaders, mysterious elites, etc. Combined with the fact that the game itself is called Mystery World, I have a hunch that this guild will be very popular.

Then all sorts of strange names came into view.

The arrogant ones are like the Heroes Gang, the Madman Club, the Green Dragon Hall, the Wizard Institute and so on.

There are also many common ones in games, such as: Recreate Glory, Dynasty Hegemony, Red Man Pavilion, Dragon Walk the World, Solips and so on. The people who created these guilds must be enthusiastic young people with a good mentality.

There are also funny: the Mysterious World Women's Federation, the Thieves Exchange Club, the National Maid Lolita Costume Promotion Committee, the Guild sells game currency for a long time, and so on.

There are also many family guilds: such as the legendary family, the eternal family, and the mysterious family.

The other group is the guild of words and symbols, and when I see their names, I immediately think of them - the moon ^_^.

Among the many guilds, there are many fake knights: the Black Dragon Knights, the Flame Dragon Knights, the Lionheart Knights, the Knights of the Round Table, and so on. Most people have a chivalric complex, but no chivalry.

Fortunately, the names of the pornographic and vulgar guilds were rejected, otherwise they would have at least half of the market share.

After looking at it for a while, there was nothing particularly prominent about the guild. Moreover, the standard for most guilds to recruit members is level 20 or above, and I don't want to join any guilds yet. So he put down the information, thanked the NPC, and turned around to leave. As soon as I turned around, a human watcher stopped me.

"Brother Ren, are you free?" He asked sincerely, the spear behind him gleaming.

"Well, what's the matter?" I say.

He invited me to sit down in a chair next to me, then sat down and said, "I'd like to ask you to join my guild, what do you think?" ”

It's weird, I'm wearing tattered equipment and I'm low in level. Someone actually invited me.

"I've been watching you for a long time, and although you dress like a watchman, I'm sure you're the last knight in the game." He looked at me with his eyes lit up. "Join my guild and let's level up together! Let's play gear! ”

I don't understand, "What benefits will you get if I join your guild?" ”

He said excitedly, "As long as you join my guild, then my guild will be famous." You can recruit more people. ”

As I thought, I was just a façade in his eyes. If I join his guild, then he will put a huge sign behind me - the last knight in the game is in the XX guild.

I politely declined him, and without heeding any of his dissuasion, I turned and left.

The sound of grinding teeth came from behind him.

Out of the guild hall, I continued to roam. Passing by the huge square, the square is full of people, and many people who come to the main city for the first time take pictures and take commemorative photos. At the end of the square is a majestic building with towering stone columns, Gothic stained glass, and a roof that looks like a magic cap like a magic flute.

I walked along the river in the city, lined with unknown plants, and here there were more couples of lovers strolling one after another.

Through the bustling commercial area, I came to a residential area of NPCs.

Most of the NPCs here don't have any responsibilities, they exist more like decorations in this game, although there may be hidden quests or mentors who teach you life skills. Medieval dress-up and lifestyle styles make it easier for people to draw into their characters and integrate them into the game.

As I walked around, I received a message that the Magic Flute had found the agency for the subclass and sent me the coordinates to check it out. So I roamed towards the coordinates.

It is also an old tall building, and the vicissitudes of life have been covered with moss. The stairs of the entrance are lit up by people who have been walking for many years. I walked up the stairs and into the house, which still had a spacious hall.

It's just that there are no beautiful women in the hall, female elves. There are only rows and rows of goblin staff. They screamed for order, only to make the crowd in the hall even more bloated.

I had a slightly shorter line. In front of me was an orc who looked a little sluggish. In a few moments we reached a skinny goblin.

"Sir! What can I do for you? The goblin said.

"Well, I was shopping and saw a lot of people here, so I walked in. I saw a lot of people lining up again, so I joined in the fun,......" the orc said.

"Oh, I see. Fortunately, this is not the first time this has happened. The goblin said in surprise: "This is the life employment agency." You can choose the side profession you want to pursue. I'll find you a qualified tutor. ”

The orc thought for a long time, and said slowly, "I really don't know what to learn. Why don't you recommend one to me? ”

The goblin stared at him with sharp eyes: "Tell me, do you want to make money simply?" Or do you want to make life more interesting, or do you want to rely on certain skills to get ahead? ”

The orc said: "It's best to make money, I can't even repair the equipment now." "The armor on his body was broken in a few places.

The goblin screamed, "Hell, what are you hesitating about! Mine, dear friend, in the mines of Worm Mountain on the west side of Lanfeng City, you can earn a lot of gold coins - there are gold mines everywhere. ”

The orc cried out happily, "Really? That's great! What should I do next? ”

The goblin quickly pulled out a piece of parchment and handed it to him, "Sign a friend here, and then report to the Horred miners and pick up your tools." Of course, you will need to pay an introduction fee of 1 gold coin. But it doesn't matter, you can delay for a few days and wait for the money you earn to come back and pay it back. ”

The orc thanked him and signed his name, and the goblin took the parchment he signed in exchange for a letter of introduction. The orc happily jumped all the way out of the hall.

"What about you? I hope you're not as confused as the Mr. Orc just now. The goblin looked at me and said.

"Of course not." I said lightly, "Actually, I'm more confused than him." ”

The goblin said regretfully, "That's too bad. Well, what kind of job do you hope to get? Oh shit, I'm thinking of myself as an NPC recruiting in the labor market again, I mean, what kind of sub-profession are you looking for? ”

"Is there a combat department?" I asked, remembering my pathetic attack.

"Hello, we have all the friends here." The goblin said as he lowered his head and quickly flipped through the information. "Look, Master Rick of the Fireworks Factory is looking for his men, I think you should try it there."

I was surprised and asked, "Fireworks factory?" I think you're mistaken, I don't like toys. ”

The goblin had already placed the parchment in front of me, "Toy!?" Trust me, Master Rick is definitely one of the most dangerous goblins in the city. Toy? Hehe, how can you describe his invention like that. The introduction fee is 10 gold coins for my friend, you can owe however, you have to sign first. ”

10 gold coins? If I'm not mistaken, there was only 1 miner just now.

I just wanted to ask what was going on, but immediately a sentence from the online game guide came to my mind. "Players may lie to you and trick you, but NPCs definitely don't. Of course, NPCs here refer to NPCs in important positions in regular places. If you feel like he's cheating on you, there's only one case – you're out of luck, kid. ”

Well, I'll be lucky. I don't care if he makes fireworks or what he does, and I don't care about the 10 gold coins - I don't have any of them anyway. I grabbed the parchment and quickly signed my name and handed it to the goblins.

The goblin took out a bronze medal and handed it to me, "This is for you, good luck!" ”

I picked up the bronze medal and turned and walked out of the sub-employment agency. I had a new goal – the bronze medal reads:

Fireworks Factory, 38 Teapot Street.
