(13) We were players

If these monsters have not been cleaned up for a long time, they will form a terrible legion to attack the nearest safe area, including the player's station, NPC village, and even a giant NPC fortress, so both NPC and the player will consciously destroy the monsters that spawn near their station, and control their scale to prevent monsters from attacking the city.

For some timid players, they would rather abandon their current home to find a new home than fight monsters, but it is also very dangerous to find a safe area to establish a station, so players will choose to build their own turtle shells near the village of NPCs with defensive capabilities.

The inhabitants of NPC villages use the same models as the player models, and realistic human models will be very attractive to players who have not seen their kind for a long time, even if they know that these figures are actually digital NPCs.

"However, only those who are lonely and can't do it will find the NPC village very healing."

Ice Hunter spent the night explaining to Dangma the advanced knowledge of MineCraftOL and what he had learned.

"Loneliness and fear have made them completely ignore the 'Terror Island' effect, and I think that even if they are allowed to return to the real world safely, they will not be able to return to normal life with severe physical and mental distortion."

"This one is even scarier than bullet marks, I've seen a crasher who completely thinks of himself as an NPC."

Speaking of this, Bing Hunt looked very scared.

"If I hadn't met them, I'd have become like them sooner or later. In fact, I ran around so desperately because I was afraid that one day I would become crazy because I hadn't been in contact with living people for too long. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What kind of person is the president you're talking about? Sounds great? ”

When Ma was very curious about the big man he was about to meet, and listening to the tone, Ice Hunt seemed to have a lot of respect for the president.

"Actually, the elder is not great at all, and he is even the most ordinary and ordinary member of the entire guild."

For Dangma's curiosity, Bing Hunt didn't want to answer directly, he waved his hand and bought a pass.

"A very indescribable existence, very ordinary but very dazzling, you will know it when you meet."

Although Bing Hunt said so, Dangma couldn't help but make up for the shape of this elder in his brain.

Since he is an adult, he must be not young, and he is probably an old man, right?

And to make Ice Hunt so happy and convincing, this person's force value must be very high, so he should have a strong body of muscles.

Ice Hunt used a second sword when he killed a lich alone, so there must be more swords on the head of this martial arts organization, right? And with so many swords on your back...... The clothes must have been cloaks.

So, when there appeared in the hemp head, an old man wearing trousers and cowhide boots, a rough cloak on the upper body, shirtless and revealing proud muscles, and a large number of giant swords behind him.

Ice Hunt also said that of course the chairman is quite ordinary, then this president must be a worldly master, and the inconspicuous disabled person seems to be very suitable for this image, and it is estimated that he should be blind, because there will be no missing arms and broken legs in 'MineCraftOL'.

Outsiders will definitely say some very profound things, and they usually stay in a very inconspicuous place.

In this way, the 'Ice Hunt's Elder Final Brain Supplement Form' of Uejo Dangma was released.

It was an old blind man who was squatting bare-chested by the wall with several big swords on his back all day, although he was an old man, he had the muscles to knock over a bear with one punch, and he was usually very bold to say some lines that sounded powerful only when pedestrians passed by.

For example, 'Hear with your ears!' Kill with your heart! ''The sword cuts the body, the heart cuts the soul!'' Something like that...... What's going on with this weird sense of immediacy?

"Brother Ma, what are you thinking? Your expression just now looks very strange. ”

"Haha, nothing...... Ice Hunt: You just talked about NPC villages, right? What about those villages? ”

Ice Hunter then continued to hold the class, he planned to tell some confidential information about the internal test to Dangma, and then absorb this person into the guild.

"Actually, there are two kinds of villages in 'MineCraftOL', one is a human civilization village, and the other is a different civilization village (i.e., village mods and more village mods)."

"The villages of human civilization are the most common, these villages will sell different materials and props to players according to different cultural backgrounds, of course, many of them are basic materials such as wood and stone, but villages with a high degree of development will sell some very rare props and materials, but some of them are very impractical, such as this one."

As he spoke, Bing Hunt took out a packet of brownish-yellow powder that emitted a strange smell and showed it to Dangma.

"This is the curry taste, is this the curry powder?" MineCraftOL' actually has curry powder? ”

Although the smell is a little strange, when Ma can still tell that this is the taste of curry, after all, it is a family-style teenager......

"This is the special crop 'turmeric' that will be sold in the villages of Indian civilization after the development of special buildings 'plantations', which is the main ingredient of the curry you are talking about.

As he spoke, Bing Hunt threw the bag of powder into Dangma's hand.

"Huh? This material is precious, isn't it? Why give it to me? ”

"I didn't know what it was for, so I bought one because it was too expensive, so I didn't want to throw it away, but I didn't have time to cook, so I kept it in my library...... When Brother Ma, eat curry tonight**? ”

In the end, the red-haired merchant showed his purpose, but Kamijo Dangma couldn't refuse the other party's request, because this person didn't sleep all night in order to explain his knowledge, and now he also provided precious materials .......

In fact, when Ma himself is also very tempted, in reality, the curry that he can eat whenever he wants has now become a material of the same grade as matsutake mushrooms.

Thinking of this, when Ma looked at Xiao Maoyu, who was sleeping on his hand, this child's sense of taste has always been one of the things that surprised him the most, and now he thinks about it...... She can't tell what's delicious and what's bad, right? Because in the world of the game, there is no feeling of nausea and discomfort at all, and the nausea that the player feels is actually psychological.

Speaking of which, when this 'MineCraftOL' first started, many players were roaring 'Hallucinations!' It's all an illusion! This kind of thing doesn't scare me! On the one hand, he gnawed on carrion with a hideous face, and now many people are used to it. 【Vision】

"Actually, there are many more materials like this, and you can buy corn from Mayan villages, and potatoes from Norman villages...... Luckily, salt isn't an item in MineCraftOL, otherwise we'd be dead. ”

"That's right, if you can only eat food without salt, it's basically not better than gnawing carrion."

"Alright. Let's move on...... Doing business with human villages requires special currency, a very classic classification of gold, silver, and copper coins, but the base system is hexagim, which means that sixty-four copper coins are equal to one silver coin, and sixty-four silver coins are equal to one gold coin, but there is no such thing as inflation here, you can use these currencies as if they were supermarket vouchers. ”

"And if you are very rich and have a high reputation in that village, you can spend money to hire NPC villagers to build you a house, and each culture's house building has its own characteristics, and the residence of our guild is a Norman longhouse."

"Each human village is developing differently, but one thing in common is that the natural development rate is quite slow, and the worst players can also complete the NPC in terms of the efficiency of collecting materials, but some materials can only be planted and obtained by certain NPCs, and some specific items can only be crafted by NPCs."

As he spoke, Ice Hunt spread his hands helplessly.

"If you want to speed up the development of these villages, you need to take the initiative to sell them construction materials and some special materials, but the only thing they can give you is a voucher that cannot be eaten or used, such as currency."

"It's also one of my tasks to look around for villages and consume these 'vouchers' to get useful materials. Of course, there are also players who will save up to buy a house in the NPC village to make their lives safer, and then I can exchange useful materials from these players at a reasonable price...... This is a bonus. ”

The implication of Ice Hunt is that it's rare for players to do this now, but he's seen it before.

"Of course, to buy some special items, you must have the corresponding village reputation."

"There are two ways to increase your reputation in an NPC Human Village, either by having a high enough trade with the village, and by doing village quests...... I don't know much about this, there is a commissioner in the guild who is in charge, if you want to know more about it, you can ask that person, and I will help you introduce it when the time comes. ”

"Hunters and guards are automatically generated in human villages, hunters are equipped with a full set of leather armor and bows and arrows, and the guards are iron armor or chain mail, and their weapons are spears or swords, and their combat effectiveness is very considerable, which is completely different from the semi-paralyzed movements of zombies."

"And the larger the population and the larger the size of the human village, the more guards there are, and some villages with special properties will even have village chiefs wearing enchanted equipment, and the combat power of this product is equivalent to that of ordinary bosses, so it's best not to fight the crooked idea of the village."

Ice Hunter has seen poor and crazy players gather to plunder NPC villages, and in the end they are almost wiped out by the guards, so he feels that he must be reminded of Dangma.

And then ...... It's an alien village. ”

Ice Hunter had a strange expression on his face when he spoke of the 'other' village, as if he was holding back a smile.

"The inhabitants of the alien village have a very strange appearance because they have a weird nose, so some players who have played 'MineCraft' before have called them ...... Forget it, it's even worse than a black, you still don't know. ”

"Heterogeneous villages are generally very remote, ordinary players don't go at all, chickens don't lay eggs, birds don't, those NPCs are the blackest and blackest merchants I've ever seen, and their common currency is emeralds."

"O Emerald! Is that a mineral that is rarer than diamonds, very, very high-end and rare?! ”

Ice Hunt started roaring again.

"One emerald can only be exchanged for sixteen portions of wheat, or a pickaxe, scissors, bucket, fire sickle, etc., and this group of goods is simply black! I'm not even so dark! You must know that the number of emeralds I have seen so far is less than five! No wonder you want to live in such a remote area...... Is it because you are afraid that the miserable units that will be pitted will completely go over and destroy them, right? ”

"Actually, I think wheat is still very precious......

As a poor man, Uejo Dangma weakly bubbled, but he gave the excited Ice Hunt a sideways look, so he shut up.

"But this alien civilization village also has its special features, the villagers in their village can enchant your items, and sometimes there are very good equipment for sale, but the price is still relatively poor."

"There will be a monster called the 'Iron Golem' in those alien villages, which plays the same role as the guards, and the combat power is equivalent to a quasi-BOSS, the only highlight is that it is durable enough, and nothing else."

As the night passed, he felt that he was in a very comfortable mood, because he had not had a good communication with people like this in the world for more than half a month.

Although Dong Dong is not unable to speak, but the kind of illogical dialogue like a young child really makes normal people unable to treat it as an equal existence that can be communicated.

Dangma, who is followed by a cute jade, is actually very lonely, and the most cheating thing is that the person he distributes lonely is a gentleman......

"Hey, Ice Hunting...... What kind of guy do you think that DM is? Why would he do such a thing? ”

I'm afraid that all the trapped people have thought about this question, and Dangma is very curious about the idea of Ice Hunting.

"This one...... I'm afraid he's crazy, right? If he wasn't a madman, then he must have some purpose, but I think that the man's statement that he wanted to be a god was just nonsense. ”

"Why do you think that?"

"It's easy, right? As the founder of this world, he is probably the person here who knows the truth of this world best...... It's just a game, no matter how real it is, it's just a game, and even if the player forgets and ignores it, as a game producer, he will never forget it. ”

"So...... There's nothing wrong with that. ”

"So we have to pray that this guy is a man who keeps his word. If he had done it while he was awake, the shady curtain that might have been hidden behind it would have scared me out of my sleep. ”

After answering Dangma's words, Ice Hunter suddenly asks a question that has nothing to do with 'MineCraft'.

"When Brother Ma...... Is there anything you've done very, very regrettable? ”

"Nope."

When Ma replied quite simply, this crispness made Bing Hunt look at his face in surprise.

There was no hesitation and thinking on Dangma's face, and there was no dishonesty in the slightest, although it was difficult for Bing Hunt to accept......

Shangjo Danma really didn't do anything to make him regret a lot, probably because even if he did a thing perfectly, he would end up smashing it because of his own bad luck, and over time, Danma learned in a very weird way that 'regret is meaningless'.

"Haha...... What a rarity for a guy like you! ”

The unexpected answer made Ice Hunt laugh.

"One of the most frustrating things I've ever had is that I worked so hard to play this game with a proxy server and circumvention software, and in the end I encountered such an incident, which is also the one thing I regret the most."

Ice Hunter sighed.

"If I had been given another chance, I would never have touched online games."

"That's what I think most of the people who are trapped here think...... Wait! Did you climb over the wall? ”

When Ma was a little stunned, the guy in front of him turned out to be a foreigner, hey?

It's just that when Ma thought about it for a long time, he didn't think of any place in the world where he still needed to use circumvention software to play a game.

Wait a minute! There seems to be a place like this!

"You ......"

"I'm here from the 'big (and) medium (harmonious) China LAN."

Really......
