Chapter 8: The Last Knight
Eight
The next day, I woke up early.
After entering the game, I noticed that there were significantly more human beings. And it seems that each of them has been transformed into knights, each with a spear and a shield in his hand.
Opening the friends bar, I found that only Nocturnin was online, and this guy was already level 17. It was obvious that I hadn't slept all night.
"Are you there?" I tentatively sent a message.
"Yes, yes! What's up? He replied.
"The streets are full of human knights...... What's going on? Isn't the knight profession degraded very low on the forum? "Ever since a man published an article: "Why I Deleted the Number - Knight, a Wrong Choice". There is no one to practice this mediocre profession at all, and those who practice it have also taken advantage of the low level and deleted their numbers one after another.
"You're mistaken, it's not a knight, it's a watchman."
"Watchmen?"
"See for yourself." As he spoke, the Nightcrawler threw a link.
I opened the link and went to the in-game forum.
The forum has already been noisy. It turned out that on the first day of the open beta, players complained a lot about the racial imbalance of the Terrans and the weakness of the knights. Officials also came to the rescue. But since this part is the "starry sky" (the world's largest artificial intelligence computer, the core of the network. Self-developed. Therefore, after consultation between the official and the "starry sky", it was decided that the racial characteristics of the Terrans would not be modified, but the official website revealed the task process of a hidden profession. This class is the Warden, which can only be chosen by Terran players. In this way, the advantage of the Terran was greatly improved, so in one night, a large number of Terran players poured into the game.
I see.
I took a closer look at the players around me, and sure enough. They didn't really have spears in their hands – they were spears.
The Watchman is a king of close and middle distances. It is known as the fastest leveling profession, and it also has a certain status in large-scale PK and boss battles in the later stage. So, there is no doubt that it is a career full of temptations.
Then I found another unobtrusive vignette. In the official negotiations with "Dream", it was requested that the knight profession be removed. Because the Watchman was originally launched as a hidden profession, it became a public profession. In a sense, the knights were weakened again! The knight could have made a cameo with the warrior in the boss battle 2T (the second tank class, the first tank is undoubtedly the shield guard!) )。 But the appearance of the Watcher is the best choice for 2T, and the knight is even more unwanted!
Fortunately, "Starry Sky" did not fully agree to the official request.
Starry Sky believes that games must reflect human rights and respect players. So, as long as there is a knight in the game. The knight profession is here to stay! And according to system statistics, after the launch of Warden, the 1.2 billion players in the game were left overnight, and only the last knight was left!
People thought that the last knight had gone to sleep and woke up the next day. Will definitely delete the number and choose the watchman again! (Those who have changed knights will be compensated after deleting their numbers, and the new number can get 10 levels of experience for free, so they won't lose anything.) )
Someone even wrote in a mournful tone, "Sorry for the former profession of knights" such a post! Talk about your dreams of being a knight!
Depend on! It's a pity that you don't choose a knight!
But it's strange that there is still one person who insists. Who is that man?
…
……
………
Isn't that me!!
No way! I became the last knight in this game!!
Got the amazing news. I didn't move for a long time, and I stood there dumbfounded.
Deletion? Or not deleted? That's a problem.
Which is more correct, is to follow the trend of global players and give up for utilitarianism; Or endure public opinion and persist for the sake of a dream, even if it is just a dream!
Yes, maybe you will fall to this cruel reality for the sake of your dreams.
Perhaps, your dream itself is a wrong choice.
The knight is indeed weak, I can feel it completely.
Delete the number, and it's all over. At the same time, it also deleted my last dream.
If you don't delete it, you will suffer a thousand kinds of pain.
……
……
God's cry came from the sky: Okay, okay, have you read too many books?
Hahahaha, yes, yes, how can there be such a sensational inner description according to my character.
Very simple! Don't delete it!
The last knight, how hot-blooded!
Moreover, the knight's equipment must be so cheap that it drops the scum O(∩_∩)O~
Of course, it was more because I was unwilling to give up that dream in my heart.
The sun slowly rose over the mountain, and the earth was fiery red. Surrounded by one player after another in a hurry. I don't know what they're after in the game, I don't know what I'm looking for in the game. Perhaps, as the elf on the little lonely mountain said, we are all lonely people!
So, let me be a loner!
With this in mind, I rushed back to the village.
Now, let me go and see my mentor Ah Hao first! He must have known the news as well.
Yamaharau Tavern, empty today. The career mentors have their own new homes, and presumably the pretty pastoral mentor complaints have come into play.
However, in a dark corner, there was still a man drinking on the table.
He held a rusty steel helmet in his hand, and a pitch-black spear still stood in the corner.
"Mentor! Wake up, Mentor! I stepped forward and pushed him hard.
He raised his head slightly, and his eyes opened a slit. Dejectedly, he said, "Ah, it turns out that you are here to say goodbye to me?" ”
"Just kidding! With such an excellent mentor as you, how could I give up this sacred profession! I'm here to visit your old man! "I didn't blush at all when I patted the horses, in fact I wanted him to give me more benefits when I was the only student.
Hearing me say this, Ah Hao reacted very much. He jumped up with a thud, grabbed my shoulder excitedly and asked, "Is it true?" You won't delete the number, right!! ”
"Of course not." Seeing Ah Hao so excited, I also solemnly became solemn, I raised my hand and swore: "I swear, I will not give up the sacred profession of knight. ”
Ah Hao listened to my oath and actually left tears in his eyes.
"I said mentor, don't be so excited!" I don't understand.
Ah Hao suddenly reached for the ceiling with his hands, as if to hug the beams. Then he burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha~~~ I don't have to be a night watchman anymore!! I'm still a mentor!! ”
Pour! It turned out that he was afraid that I would delete my account and lose my job!
Hehe, artificial intelligence is really human.
"Ah, come, since you're the only knight." The mentor who had recovered from the great joy and sorrow was very happy, "Then I will teach you a few more skills, so that you can mix up a little bit." ”
Getting to the point, that's exactly what I wanted!
He lowered his voice and secretly told me: "I won these skills from other mentors, don't tell anyone about them!" As he spoke, he pulled out three books from his bosom.
When I received the book, I thought OK, mission accomplished! So he got up and thanked and said goodbye.
Sure enough, I was favored, and it seems that the last knight is still a baby.
Walking out of the hotel, I was in the pantry again. I took out the three skill books that my mentor had secretly given me.
Charge: Charges an enemy and stuns them for 1 second (Primary). Distance: 20 meters. CD: 10 seconds.
Precision Arrow: Use the bow and arrow to perform a precise strike on the enemy, and no MISS will appear. MP cost: 5 points. CD: 10 seconds.
Stamina (Passive): Increases your stamina.
It's a good charge, it's a classic skill for a warrior. Think of the Nightcrawler's voice, "! "And then rush over the bloody shot, haha, now I can too!
The precision arrow skill is a bit of a wastewood, the CD is long, and it's not very useful. Bows and arrows are also needed. Forget it, I'll go buy a bow and arrows to take with me, maybe I'll use them sometime. Well, yes, this skill can open up monsters.
The passive skill of Endurance is also hunter. Lads need stamina for long runs, and I need it too! I want to play to my physical strengths.
Ever since I watched the Nightcrawler fight monsters and dodge attacks by doing somersaults and rolling on the spot to dodge attacks, I've been convinced that physical fitness is useful.
Think about it if you're fast enough. Isn't that equivalent to dodging high?
The dodge given by the system is the dodge after the weapon skill is used on the body, and I dodged it before I used it, which is the reason.
After getting these three skills, I became more and more convinced of the knight's choice.
When I opened the package, I found that there was still a bottle of wine lying quietly in the package.
I remembered that it was given to me by the hotel owner when I changed jobs. He said at the time: "This is a good gin, and the guy at the bridge begged me for a long time and I didn't give it to him." ”
The guy at the bridgehead? Isn't it the one who is not old and decrepit?
Forget it, I don't drink myself. Why don't you give me a favor, that guy is a heavy drinker, maybe I can get some good.
Hehe, I'm so bent on being taken care of by NPCs that even I'm embarrassed.
I thought this as I ran in the direction of the bridge. Sure enough, he is still at the bridgehead, tirelessly pointing out the maze to the new players.
"Uncle~~~~ I'm here! ~~~”
The job introducer looked at me blankly.
I don't blame him, he watches tens of thousands of people every day. Probably forgot about me: "Uncle, have you forgotten who I am?" ”
He smiled strangely: "How could I forget you, my body is ruined but my head is very clear." And how could I forget the only one who called me uncle. ”
I laughed and remembered. If you can remember the first time, you can remember the second time.
I mysteriously dragged my uncle to the river, with my back to the crowd. There was a whining from the new crowd. I smiled apologetically at them: "Take 1 minute, wait a minute." Then he turned around and pulled the bottle out of his baggage.
The eyes of the introducer who had been transferred to another suddenly lit up. But the mouth said, "Why are you here now?" I knew yesterday that the wine was coming to you. ”
I'm depressed, it's good to be able to bring it to you. You think I'm too slow. So he said, "Uncle, I didn't say I wanted to give it to you." ”
The introducer snatched my wine while I wasn't looking. "Don't want to give? I didn't want to run so far, making fun of your uncle! You're clearly trying to irritate me with alcohol so that you can get some benefits. ”
……
The uncle, who doesn't look amazing, actually has the same mind-reading skills as my mentor!
Still unconvinced, I said, "Benefits? What good can you give me as a lewd uncle who is not old and decrepit? ”
Uncle didn't answer me, he slammed the lid of the wine, and took a sip before looking up to the sky and laughing.
"Good wine, hahahaha. If I hear that I like it, I will send this good wine. You're a smart man, too. I will not treat you badly. Let me show you how to go about tasting a really good bar. ”
BIU
Physicality prompts, you learned to taste wine.
Open the skill bar and look at the explanation of the skill Wine Tasting: after using this skill, you can change the flavor of the spirit to your favorite drink.
Yes, I see. Can...... But what's the use of that?
With doubts, I said goodbye to my uncle and continued to wander around the village.
Quest ah quest, my lovely quest. Years of experience in online games have turned players into task machines, but there are very few missions in this village.
First of all, you have to ask the NPCs one by one, but these NPCs are all intelligent, some of them will take the opportunity to hold you for a long time, some NPCs only give out tasks to beautiful women, and some openly take bribes. Some of the tasks given are inexplicable, for example, I actually received a task to learn the sounds of three animals. I learned how to bark at the, the cat and the dog. This NPC little girl named Huahua finally laughed, she clapped her hands and laughed: "Chickens, kittens, dogs, don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed." ”
I had a gloomy face: "Give ~~~ I~~~ Award ~~~ Encouragement~~~~!" ”
BIU
15 experience gained.
2 Copper Coins.
I pour, so little?
Huahua looked innocent and said with wide eyes: "No way, I, a child, only have the right to give these experiences." ”
Forget it, I'm done!
"But ......"
But??? I've got the spirit, I asked; "But what?"
Huahua said: "I think you are very pleasing to the eye, so let me tell you." Actually, I also have the right to assign repeatable tasks. ”
Repeatable tasks? My mind was racing. Even if you have 15 points of experience, learn to call three animals. The speed at which this experience is gained is still considerable. Thinking of this, I immediately put on a smile: "Little sister, sister is good~~~ Big brother, I love you the most." ”
Huahua stared at me, her big eyes flickering: "Big brother, I want to eat candy~~~~"
Sugar!
I rushed to the grocery store as fast as I could, shouting before I could get in, "Boss! Bring me two pounds of sugar! ”
The boss happily replied: "No problem, 1 gold coin and 1 catty." ”
I clung to the door frame and fell, and after a long time of getting up, "What, boss." You heard me wrong, I mean two. ”
When I got the candy, I rushed back and stuffed it to her.
Huahua smiled happily, "Big brother, you really love Huahua, so let's do it, will you turn your heels?" ”
Without saying a word, I turned my head on the spot.
BIU
15 experience gained.
2 Copper Coins.
Huahua clapped her hands and shouted: "It's good-looking, Huahua wants to look at it." ”
Yes, that's good. That being the case.
I took out all the strength of my body, babbling~~~~~~~
Flip over! Flip and flip! Flip and flip! I did a front flip, a backflip, a side flip, and I flipped hard!
BIU! BIUBIU! BIUBIUBIUBIUBIUBIUBIU!!!
All the players or NPCs who pass by here stop to watch, and they are all amazed.
I burst into tears as I watched it, it was not easy to survive these years. For the sake of experience, I was willing to give up my dignity in front of a milky little girl.
"Dude! What are you doing? A chubby orc asked, puzzled.
"Exercise!" I replied casually.
The chubby orc nodded, "Well, this is a good way to lose weight." ”
I don't know how long it has been, even though the game is much stronger than reality. But it also made me dizzy and swollen, and my eyes were full of stars. After looking at the level, it was finally upgraded to level 13. I went, and I flipped 2 levels.
I was sweating profusely and said in a tired voice, "Whew... Call...... Little sister. That's all for now! Let's continue to practice tomorrow......"
Huahua nodded: "Okay, okay, I'm going to listen to it tomorrow, well, I'm going to listen to you learn to bark tomorrow!" ”
I was straight out scared away.
Leave your damn task to someone else, I've got to go to lunch!"
