Chapter 2: Where is My System?
The Far Eastern Province is located in a remote high-latitude region, with a cold climate, a vast and sparsely populated land, too far away from the administrative center of the empire, and has been a place of exile and heresy since ancient times. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There was no peace within a hundred miles of the capital, and every time a merchant traveler left the city, it was common to encounter goblins, orcs, ogres and other murderous aliens during the journey, and the main purpose of the local militia was to fight against the raids of the above-mentioned bandits.
Roland's current status is a probationary militiaman, and he will only become a full-fledged soldier when he passes the test and obtains the Transcendent Inheritance.
The so-called "transcendent inheritance" is the world's general term for people with special abilities, according to Roland's understanding, transcendent inheritance refers to those player professions in the game, such as priests, mages, warlocks, druids, paladins, etc., after taking office, you can upgrade your level and obtain powerful professional abilities, and you are no longer a civilian NPC.
After clearing his thoughts, Roland decided to go out for a walk and match the environment in his memory with reality.
Bang!
The door slammed open, and a blonde young man in a black cuirass resembling a portrait of a knight in medieval Europe burst in, carrying a long sword at his waist and an iron glove gripping the hilt with terrifying spikes.
Roland was slightly surprised, but fortunately this body was well-trained, and his fighting instinct prompted him to immediately tense his muscles, clench his fists in a defensive posture, and when his gaze touched the face of the uninvited guest, the tense muscles relaxed.
"Ivan, what are you doing with me?" Roland inherited the memories of his previous master, and recognized the blonde young man as Ivan Ivanovich Petrov, Rudolf Kolas's herald, a young "Sindra Black Guard".
Roland's slightly gloomy face made the young black guard feel invisible pressure, and he quickly straightened his waist, knocked his heel, snapped upright, put his right arm across his chest, saluted him with a standard imperial military salute, and maintained this solemn posture and said in a loud voice: "Dear Young Master Roland, please allow me to report a bad news to you!" The orcs from the mountains of Lucia are frantically attacking the city, at least nine notorious orc warbands are involved in this shameless attack, the current situation in the fortress of atonement is not optimistic, Your Excellency Commander, please hurry to the north gate to report, participate in the defensive battle, please remember to wear armor and bring your sword! As soon as the words fell, Ivan hurried out.
"Orc siege?" Roland secretly screamed bad luck, quickly got up and put on his armor, and went out to take a look, the streets were full of men and women running in panic, dressed in the style of medieval European countryside, the cries of women and children were chaotic, and a big white goose jumped out of the iron cage with its wings fluttering, and fled from the vegetable field while the soldiers were in chaos.
Roland froze, turned to look in the direction of the north gate, and a terrifying roar faintly came, clearly a battle cry of a large group of orcs.
What to do? Standing in the chaotic streets, Roland's nervous head broke out in a cold sweat.
His body's father, Rudolph Kolas, is a "former holy warrior" of the Holy Light Empire, although he is charged with heretics, but in the Far East, except for those priests of the Holy Light Sect in the temple, no one really cares about this crime, after all, who is innocent in this heretical penal colony? One day is a heretic, and so are the descendants, who remain forever in this wild land, and are not allowed to move out of the Far East unless they are pardoned by the Holy See and restored to the status of a free people.
After more than a decade in the Keep Atonement, Rudolph has become the leader of the local exiles, single-handedly forming the militia organization "Black Guard", and has repeatedly fought against the Orc invasion over the years.
Roland envied the second generation of officials before he crossed over, and now he has the opportunity to live a Ya addiction, which is naturally excellent, but it is a pity that his cheap father is too old-fashioned, and even his only son is willing to send him to the military camp.
Long before Roland took over, the original owner of this body had mastered the fighting skills far beyond his peers, and his physical fitness was even more outstanding, at the age of seventeen, he was more than 190 centimeters tall, with a strong body, slender legs, and a toned body comparable to that of a professional athlete...... In other words, at this critical moment when the whole city was mobilized to defend his homeland, if he Roland Kolas, the son of the commander of the militia in the penal colony, could not spare him if he could not shrink back and no one else would have crooked his mouth.
However, Roland is not the little soldier who grew up in the barracks after all, as a modern person living in the era of peace, the bloody battle in the era of cold weapons is too far away from him, obviously his body is already excited, ready to go into battle to kill the enemy, but his heart is still empty.
"This is a real battlefield, the sword will hurt when you slash your body, it will bleed, and you will die, it is not a game that can be read and repeated!"
Thinking about the game, Roland suddenly had an idea, and remembered that the reason why he traveled to the world of Vares was probably inseparable from a strange game.
As a liberal arts student at a third-rate university, Roland was busy writing his graduation thesis before crossing over. In fact, everyone knows that whether a good thesis is written or bad does not affect the employment prospects, and the tutor does not expect him to write any thought-provoking chapters, so he chooses a topic that interests him—using Samuel Huntington's four works "The Soldier and the State", "Political Order in a Changing Society", "The Authoritative Politics of Modern Society", and "The Clash of Civilizations" as theoretical tools to analyze the nine camps in fantasy fiction.
"Most of the themes of fantasy epics can be attributed to the clash of civilizations, and the form of the conflict includes both territorial and power disputes, as well as the collision of religions and beliefs, and the expansion of the conflict to the international scale will inevitably lead to two simultaneous competitions: one is an arms race, and the other is a contest of ideas to see whose consciousness is more extreme."
"In most cases, we don't need to think about the neutral camp, which has neither the ability nor the will to incite the herd, and who seems to be tolerant but is actually weak, and it is difficult to survive in the gap between the two polar powers, and in the end they can only completely fall to the left or the right."
"When we re-examine the world after the neutral camp is removed, we will find that it is naïve to believe in the so-called opposition between good and evil, but the distinction between order and chaos embodies the essence of politics."
"The opposition of consciousness forms is not about good and evil, good and evil are usually a matter of ass or hats."
"As Nietzsche said: there is no moral phenomenon, only a moral explanation of the phenomenon."
"Successful monarchs are mostly pragmatics with ideals: not without principles, principles are the establishment of the ideal order."
"If a government is eager to limit authority before it has time to establish it, it is doomed to be replaced by a stronger government."
A few outlines were made, and Roland was about to add arguments to deduce them, when the brother on the top bunk of the dormitory yelled at him.
"Xiao Luo, "The Legend of Varres" is open beta at eight o'clock tonight, and hurry up to launch the number building group."
"The Legend of Vares" is a new fantasy online game, Roland's upper bunk roommate prides himself on "high play", and has been looking forward to this popular masterpiece for a long time, and under his influence Roland also downloaded the client, always ready to fight on the front line of the open beta, and now that the time has come, how can I still have the heart to write a paper, and hurry up to start the fun.
Although it was his first time in the game, he wasn't really a newbie, as the game was based on Dungeons & Dragons 3 standard production, and he had already played a lot of similar games before, and he knew the rules by heart.
The buddy on the top bunk is quite appealing in the online game industry of this school, and in a blink of an eye, he has already pulled up the team, and he came down and asked Roland: "We now have mages, priests, forest rangers and warriors, and there is still a lack of thieves, Xiao Luo, how about you come to thieves?" ”
Roland had practiced thieves in other games before, and he played well seriously, so he wanted to agree to it, but when he thought of his unfinished paper, a sense of mission suddenly came to his heart, and he said with a straight face: "Brother is a dignified and orderly camp, how can he be a thief?" This time I'm going to play as a paladin! ”
The top bunk brother haha: "The holy warrior is not bad, he can resist the energy milk panacea, so it's decided, I'll find another thief ......"
According to the DND rules, after the player creates a new number and chooses a race and class, the next step is to allocate six attribute points: Constitution, Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Perception and Charisma.
In order to reduce the difficulty of getting started, online game operators uniformly issue 80 points to players for free allocation.
But...... If you're willing to spend an extra 10 bucks, you can buy a one-time perk: roll an extra 20-sided die on top of the 80 basic stat points, and the points earned will be added directly to the base stat points, in other words, you can buy at least 1 bonus stat for 10 bucks, and no more than 20 at most.
Roland thinks the game company is a really shrewd idea.
10 yuan is more than a lot to say a lot less, most players can afford it, and there is naturally no shortage of speculators who are willing to spend money to buy a hope.
This is not only a disguised charge, but also because the accident of the dice ensures relative fairness: a RMB fighter who spends a few thousand yuan may not be able to shake 20 points, and a poor soldier who only spends 10 yuan can hope to win at the starting line.
Roland belongs to the kind of poor people who are willing to spend a little money to buy a little hope.
His principle is to invest ten dollars to try his luck when creating a new account, just buy a lottery ticket, no matter how good or bad the result is, it will end here, and never continue to throw money into it.
"A small gamble is pleasant, but a big gamble hurts the body."
With a little mouse, the huge dice flipped on the computer screen, and Roland stared at the dice, feeling a little nervous. He didn't expect to be lucky, as long as the points exceeded the average of 10, he would be considered earned, but he never expected that Lady Luck would smile at him, and the dice would jump for a long time and finally freeze in the center of the screen - it was a charming 20!
Roland was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes and looked again, it was indeed 20, which was a one-twentieth probability, and he was overjoyed, and even chanted "Goddess Luck bless". Hurry up to adjust the attributes, take photos on WeChat on your mobile phone, and plan to send a coquettish look to the circle of friends to seduce your friends with envy and jealousy.
At this moment, a strange dialog box suddenly popped up on the computer screen.
Are you tired of boring real life?
Does just taking risks in the game satisfy you?
Do you want to try a more exciting life?
Click "OK" and Sindra, the goddess of fate, will give you a new lease of life.
"I'll go! The game designer is very good at playing.,Choosing a faith is like the main god space.,I don't know, I think it's going to enter the infinite stream mode.。 ”
According to the game's setting, clergy such as paladins and priests always have to choose a faith, and the goddess of fate sounds very powerful, and it shouldn't be wrong to hug her thighs.
While complaining about the bad taste of the game company, Roland casually clicked "OK".
However, what happened next was much more than he expected, the moment his fingers touched the mouse, his body trembled violently like an electric shock, and he lost consciousness in front of him, only to wake up and realize that he had traveled to the "world of Vares" in the game.
The past is unbearable, and Roland now pays more attention to the details of the time travel.
"I encountered a time-traveling event while creating a game account."
"That so-called 'Goddess of Fate' came out of the game's interface."
"I'm in the game world right now."
Based on the above three facts, coupled with the rich experience accumulated over many years of reading, Roland immediately came to a divine inference: "So, where is my game system?" ”
This thought seemed to open up the second pulse of Ren Du in his life, and a translucent light screen appeared out of thin air in front of his eyes, showing dense data - is it the system panel in the game!
