Chapter 3 Divergence
"If the initial class selection is successful, the player's appearance will be adjusted."
The old man said calmly, this is the feature of the game "Demon Realm", the system will fine-tune the player's appearance by 20%, to ensure that the players in the game are not recognized by acquaintances in reality, under normal circumstances, even if they are biological parents, they can't recognize their own children in the game.
Of course, there is a certain difference in the appearance of the two, but the degree of beauty and ugliness is basically the same as the real face - if it is a peerless beauty in reality, the character in the game must be a great beauty, and the reverse is the same.
"The fine-tuning is over, and the player's spawn point will be allocated."
The voice of the old face sounded, and the next moment, a light array floated under Ye Kong's feet-
"After the assignment, the player's initial spawn point is the Principality of the Stars, and the initial town is Aoki Castle, and the teleportation begins."
The scope of the Thousand Worlds Tree is more than one Principality of Stars, and the entire region is divided into 'One Emperor, Four States, and Eighteen Kingdoms' and 'Thousand Worlds Holy City Igtesi', and the Principality of Stars is only the sixteenth small principality among the eighteen kingdoms.
The entire area of the Thousand Worlds Tree is a little larger than the Asian continent on the earth.
Before the words fell, Ye Kong felt a flower in front of him, and when he came back to his senses, he was in a square, surrounded by a large number of players, everyone was wearing gray novice clothes, obviously just entering the game.
The edge of the square is surrounded by a translucent blue wall that players can't get past it.
At this time, the official system announcement also sounded -
"There are still five minutes left before the game officially starts, so please be patient."
This is in order to ensure that players have enough time to adapt to the body, after all, except for the beta testers who got the activation code (the internal test of the magic realm is deleted), the vast majority of normal players are playing stealth games for the first time.
The virtual body in the Demon Realm game is different from the body in the real world, and normal people who try the game for the first time will have a certain error in operation - for example, a pot Xiaosi with a height of 140 has become a Yao Feiren with a height of 220 overnight, and he will definitely not be able to jump up and beat other people's knees.
As a result, players in the neighborhood are adjusting to their bodies, and many players are amazed by the federal government's stealth technology.
Ye Kong is not among them, his game career for several years has made him easily adapt to his new body, and even, this adaptation has already penetrated into his bone marrow, and his every move is like a martial artist who has been practicing for many years, without any error!
"Sure enough, my newborn point is Aoki Castle."
Ye Kong ignored the nearby players, and his eyes swept around, surrounded by the Gothic buildings in his memory, with pointed scrolls and a large number of glass colored windows, as well as a large number of green vines climbing up the house, forming a fantasy town.
A large number of European-style streets, crisscrossed by each other, and there is a shopping street directly in front of the initial square, where a large number of NPCs are stationed in the shops, waiting for players to pick up quests or trade goods.
All the scenes are in line with the impression of Aoki City, back then, Ye Kong's birth point was also Aoki City, so he was particularly familiar with this place, especially the coordinates of important tasks and special NPCs.
At this time, the sun in the sky is hanging obliquely, and it is the afternoon time.
The time in stealth games is different from the real world, a day is 48 hours, i.e. one hour in the real world, which is equal to two hours in the game.
The Demon World has a difference between day and night, the day is twice as long as the night, that is, the day has 32 hours, the night has 16 hours, the night time is 8 pm to 4 am in reality, and the rest of the time is daytime.
"Demonland" runs all day, and you can log in to the game at any time, provided that the time for the virtual device is not full - for example, the virtual helmet used by Ye Kong is itself the worst D-class device, and there is a login limit of 7 real-life hours per day (14 hours of playtime).
Because the virtual device is connected to the brain nerves, the player's conscious stealth is equal to mental work, and if the time is too long, it will cause serious fatigue just like overtime in reality.
Of course, high-tech optimizations can improve the drawbacks, such as high-end S-Class devices, virtual game pods with a low load on players, and 12 hours a day (24 hours of playtime), of which 4 hours are spent sleeping, making effective use of the night's sleeping time!
However, the price of this kind of game pod is extremely high, and the current Ye Kong can't afford it, so he can only use the D-class device to sneak into the game first, and wait until he earns enough funds to change to a better virtual device.
"There are still three minutes left before the game officially starts, so please be patient."
The system announcement sounded again, and the nearby players were hurrying up to get used to their new bodies-
"Damn, I've gotten thinner! No matter how you use this arm, it's not flexible enough? ”
"Hell, I'm so fat! The balance of the body is not easy to control. ”
"Your real body is fat, right? The fat and thin in the game will not be too different from the real body, it seems that you have to exercise, hahahahaha! ”
Ye Kong ignored the others, and directly stretched out his hand, summoned the system menu, and looked at his personal attribute panel.

The above is Ye Kong's panel attributes, and the gray novice suit on his body does not have any attributes attached, only the effect of covering up his body. In addition, the "Spirit Spell" is a unique system of the Demon Realm game, replacing the traditional mana (blue bar), and some powerful skill releases require a certain amount of "Spirit Spell".
The recovery time of the "Enchantment" of the initial class is 180 seconds (the maximum amount of "Repentance" is reached, and if you are promoted to a different class, or if you become a certain hidden class, the recovery time of the "Enchantment" can be shortened. The maximum number of "Spells" will increase as the character level increases.
It's not any skill, you have to consume the number of "spirit spells",
On the contrary, there are generally only powerful/special skills that require the consumption of "Spells", while most normal skills only have cooldowns and do not consume "Spells" - except for the Swordsman class.
The swordsman is indeed more strange, the falling sword slash is not a powerful skill, but it also consumes a spirit spell, compared to the initial skills of other professions, the falling sword slash is the 'cost-effective' lowest skill.
The swordsman's early leveling is difficult, and the sword slash is also one of the factors.
In addition, each level of the initial class can earn three attribute points, which are assigned by the player to the four major attributes (strength, agility, constitution and spirit), and the four major attributes affect all the hidden attributes -
For example, the Strength stat affects the level of the block value, the accuracy of the hit when attacking, the ability to jump/swim/climb, and the bonus to the determination of physical anomalies.
The Agility stat affects physical critical hit multipliers, movement/attack speed, and breath awareness.
The above-mentioned attributes such as attack speed, block value, critical strike chance, and hit accuracy are all 'hidden attributes' - they are not displayed in the character panel, and if you want to judge their values, you can only guess by relying on the 'four attributes'.
To put it simply, the four attributes are important indicators to measure a player in addition to 'level'.
"The main attribute of a swordsman is agility, a little agility increases 1 point of attack power, but a swordsman also needs strength very much, and the best plan in his previous life is the comprehensive addition of '2 agility and 1 strength'."
Ye Kong glanced at the attribute panel and analyzed:
"If it's the early stage, it's best for the swordsman to click on the physique, because the swordsman's initial blood volume is low, and the defense is also the bottom of the initial class, and there is no self-protection skill yet, so it is very easy to be killed by monsters in seconds."
"According to the swordsman gameplay in the previous life, before the fifth level, it was the addition of "1 force, 1 sensitivity and 1 body", and after the fifth level, it was the addition of "1 force and 2 sensitivity", which is the safest addition, and it is also a consensus reached by the top swordsmen, including me."
The next moment, Ye Kong decisively clicked on the plus sign of agility, and added all the unassigned 3 attributes to agility, and piled up agility to 8 points at once.
"However, my plan requires more agility, and the safe path is not for me."
"The swordsman group in the early stage can't be in the team, and if I want the 'level' not to lag behind, I can only go off the rails!"
Ye Kong glanced at the panel, and the attack above had become 8 points,
Because the Swordsman is an agility class, its main attribute is agility, and a little agility can increase attack by 1.
Each class has its primary attribute, for example, the Spiritual Wizard increases its attack by 1 by 1 Spirit, and the Shield Guardian of the Constitution class increases its Attack by 1 by Constitution.
The strength profession is more special, 1 point of strength can increase the attack of 1.3 points, resulting in the attack power of the strength profession, which is generally higher than that of other professions, however, the skill formula of the spiritual profession is powerful, and the output alone, the strength profession is not as good as the spiritual profession.
In addition to increasing the attack power, 3 points of agility also increased Ye Kong's dexterity, allowing him to have faster movement speed/attack speed, which is a very important attribute in the early stage, after all, everyone's initial attributes are very low, and a little attribute will bring qualitative changes.
"There are still 30 seconds left before the game officially starts, please be patient."
"It's time to start!"
Ye Kong's gaze froze, and the nearby players also began to gear up, the time of the entire Demon Realm is synchronized, that is, all players in the 24 time zones around the world, a total of 16 realms, will start the game in the next moment!
One server, global synchronization!
More than a billion gamers will compete at the same time!
Ye Kong swept around the crowd in front of him, but saw a few familiar figures,
Qingtianfang, Iron Sword Battle Song, Alphabet Jun, Flying Clear Sky, Little Fat Hand...........
These players will all be powerful figures in Aoki City in the future, even if you look at the entire Principality of Stars, they can be regarded as well-known figures, and a casual stomp will cause a wave of player vibration.
In the previous life, Ye Kong chose the swordsman profession, and he had been unable to advance in the early stage, so he had to look at their majestic figures from afar, like ants in the shadow of elephants, living a humble life that was not worth mentioning.
This has been going on for a long time.........
"In this life, I will never stumble again."
Ye Kong's gaze became firm, and his entire body arched slightly, like a leopard ready to attack.
"It's time, the game begins!"
Boom!!
The blue walls disappeared, and a large number of players rushed out of the initial square like zombies, pointing straight to the shopping street ahead!
Shout!!!
Ye Kong was like an arrow off the string, dexterously passing through the crowd and standing out in one fell swoop!
Followed by
Woohoo!!
There are a group of other players who also rushed out of the crowd, and their actions and decisiveness are not inferior to Ye Kong!
Ye Kong glanced back and immediately recognized two acquaintances-
"Qingtianfang, Iron Sword Battle Song .........."
The next moment, the two acquaintances in Ye Kong's eyes did not rush into the commercial street in front of them, on the contrary, after they broke away from the crowd, they immediately turned around and rushed to the city gate in the east!
At the same time, a small group of players also separated from the huge crowd, and each of them followed Qingtianfang and the Iron Sword Battle Song, and rushed to the east gate location together!
When Ye Kong saw this scene, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes-
"It's begun, the clearance operation of the Hundred Ghost Guild and the Batu Guild!"
In the previous life, a large number of players rushed to the shopping street and received material quests from the NPCs in the store, all of which were similar in content, requiring the killing of monsters on the eastern plains.
However, when they arrived in the Eastern Plains, they found that the members of the two guilds occupied half of the Eastern Plains, and at the same time, there were NPCs on the Eastern Plains.
The quests they post are more rewarding than Aoki Castle's material quests!
The most ironic thing is that a large number of players have flocked to the mall - everyone has a physical/collision volume.
So, players can't pass through other people's bodies, which ends up causing severe congestion on the high street.
PS: Players can touch other people's bodies, but sexual and harassment is prohibited (consensual does not count), otherwise the mastermind will call up personal information and report it directly to the federal police.
The 'traffic jam' in the shopping street prevents players from receiving quests/leaving the city immediately, and slows down their efficiency.
The members of the two guilds just took advantage of this period of time to desperately farm monsters to level 1, and they also equipped the initial white outfit - their president is an internal tester and knows the mission situation of Aoki City!
When a large number of ordinary players finally came to the Eastern Plains, they were expelled by the two major guilds.
In that battle, ordinary players were slaughtered into RBQ by the two major guilds, and many guild members skipped the yellow name and directly entered the red name state!
Red name!
As a global game released by the federal government, the significance of "Demonland" is to create a 'second world' - that is, a virtual world that provides a large number of jobs and forms an industrial chain as a whole!
Just like the Internet industry at the beginning of the 21st century!
Therefore, "Demon Realm" is not like ordinary online games, not only does it not have the usual point roll mall (no hourly charge/no sale of props), but also encourages PK behavior very much, and the punishment for yellow name/red name is not high!
"The wild is the place of PK!"
This is a famous quote personally uttered by a federal official of the "Demon Realm" project!
To sum up, the two game guilds are not verbose, and they will be killed if they don't agree with each other!
If you die in the wild, not only will you drop one level, but you will also fall into a 'weak' state (a temporary reduction stat) for an hour, so the two guilds have taken advantage of this and managed to open up the gap between the two guilds and the average player!
"In the last life, I didn't know the truth, so I rushed into the commercial street with the flow of people, and finally went to the Eastern Plains!"
Ye Kong's eyes were cold, recalling his previous life, when he was killed in the Eastern Plains, when he was level 0, although he didn't have to drop his level, he was also in a 'weak' state.
Originally, I chose a swordsman, but it was not easy to form a team in the early stage, and I wasted another hour, missing the golden time for forming a team in the early stage, so you can imagine what happened to Ye Kong back then.
"In this life, I won't be left behind anymore."
Ye Kong took a deep look, and the backs of the two presidents were kicked under their feet, that is, they did not rush to the city gate in the east, nor did they rush into the commercial street, but rushed to the street in the west!
Woohoo!
At the same moment, a small group of players broke away from the crowd and rushed to the streets to the west!
Their target point seems to be the same as Ye Kong!
