Chapter 21: Player Rococo discovers a corpse
Although the process of Rococo smashing the Great Boar alone was far less smooth and easy than she originally imagined due to the lack of [Balance Mastery] skills, in the end, Rococo's own digital life nature brought her powerful operation skills more than made up for this shortcoming.
After the first boar, until 8 p.m. on the third day, before the player went offline, Rococo was able to kill several more large boars without danger, and the level was about 4.
Half a day's time to upgrade from level 1 to level 4, to be precise, level 4 plus ninety percent, such an upgrade speed To be honest, even the reborn Mu Yun of the Glorious Empire was not able to do it in his life when he was reborn and came back, after all, although Mu Yun also chose to rely on the game information advantage of his previous life to skip the level of monsters when he was level 1, but he relied on terrain bugs to brush a level 6 monster around the novice village where he was located. The more level 5 monster farming and the more level 7 monster farming, there is still a gap in experience bonuses.
However, the difficulty of raising the level in "Redemption" is indeed not just talking, after reaching level 4, the current Rococo kills a large boar, and the experience points gained will only increase by about 20%. Of course, compared to the pitiful experience that an ordinary level 4 player may get after killing a level 4 wolf or boar of the same level, the experience gain from Rococo killing a large boar can still be said to be quite amazing, but compared with the speed at which killing a big boar at Rococo level 1 can be upgraded by one level, it is obvious that the upgrade speed is obviously much slower, or in other words, the experience points required to level up are obviously increasing exponentially with the increase of level.
And this is just the initial novice stage, just looking at the amount of experience required to level up after each level, it is not difficult to guess how difficult it will be to level up when the player completes the class change at level 10 and really starts the adventure in the game world.
According to Rococo's calculations, the bonus of brushing the big boar's experience gain from skipping the level becomes less and less as her level increases, but correspondingly, due to the attribute bonus brought by the increase in level and the weakening of the negative impact caused by the level suppression, the speed of her brushing the big boar will gradually increase, so calculated, at least until she reaches level 7, brushing the big boar will be the most efficient upgrade shortcut, and after that, if you still want to maintain such an upgrade speed, She probably had to pay attention to the strongest level 10 monsters wandering around the novice village, and even those small monster bosses.
Although Rococo was keen to raise her level to level 5 before the offline time of this night, she had to give up because there was not enough time for her to brush off another large boar and then rush back to Sheeran Town. Although in player mode, Rococo is subject to the forced offline at 8 p.m. in the game time like ordinary players, but she is different from those players after all, players go offline, just return to real life to start a new day of life on the real side, but Rococo switches back to the original NPC mode, and then spends the night time in the game world as an NPC.
Now that there is a player mode character, the Rococo player and NPC two modes switch is a real in-situ switch, although the player mode here Rococo already has a good equipment as a novice and can brush the level 8 big boar alone, but the NPC mode side, she is still just a village girl character with no combat skills at all, once she was forced by the system to become a helpless village girl NPC from player mode before she rushed back to Hilan Town, Rococo didn't think that in such a state, she could safely return to Sheeran Town by herself through the deserted night wilderness.
Although as an NPC character with a special plot hidden on her body and has not yet been triggered, Rococo will refresh again like other NPCs even if she dies, but the refresh location will have to return to the small village of the Glorious Empire where she was originally at the beginning of the game, which would be really troublesome.
In desperation, Rococo had no choice but to give up his plan to level 5 and return all the way to Helan from the stone cliff platform on the outskirts of Hilan Town before 8 p.m. before the game time.
Although it is also allowed to go offline in the wild in "Redemption", as long as there is no special reason, most players still prefer to go online in an absolutely safe place, so when Rococo returned to Hieran Town on the eve of 8 p.m., the town was completely more lively than what Rococo had seen in the town at noon.
Looking at the human players who were almost all teammates and friends gathered together in twos and threes on the streets, chatting and communicating all day long in the last period before going offline, Rococo walked alone on the streets of the town, and inexplicably felt a sense of loneliness that even she was slightly surprised by.
"Xiaoke?"
Although in player mode, Arya, as the system elf of the NPC system, could not appear as visible only to Rococo as before, but she was still able to roughly perceive the changes in Rococo's inner mood when she stayed in Rococo's body with the NPC system.
「…… Nothing."
Rococo shook his head, drove away the inexplicable emotion in his heart, and lowered his voice in order not to let others notice that she was talking to herself.
「…… I've always been there, little Ke."
"Thank you, Arya...... It's a pity that talking to you always makes me feel like I'm talking to myself, so to be honest, it feels quite subtle......
"Mu ......"
Although he couldn't see Arya's pocket figure and that little face full of natural quality, Rococo could clearly imagine what kind of puffing expression Arya would have if she appeared at this moment, and when she thought of this, the knot in Rococo's heart eased a lot, and the corners of her originally tight mouth were unconsciously relaxed.
"You little bastard! They came to comfort you!"
"Well, you can admit that you please me, thank you, Arya."
"yes, yes, huh, hehe...... Wrong! You're definitely taking me for a fool, aren't you? Now, you can talk and speak~!"
Maybe because he happened to be passing by a small group of players at close range and didn't want to be considered talking to himself, Rococo didn't answer Arya's imposing accusation this time, but the corners of the girl's mouth were already slightly upturned.
At least the last "thank you" was just what she said with sincerity...... But she wouldn't admit it in front of Arya.
Well, because it's a natural stay that shines when you give a little sunshine, you can't get used to it...... It's not because of his (ao)he (jiao) for any reason.

After a night's rest, at 8 a.m. the next day, it's time for a new day of player login.
After switching to player mode, Rococo, like many enthusiastic players who went online on time, simply replenished some supplies at the town's item shop before heading straight out of town and heading straight for the jungle.
However, unlike yesterday, Rococo was not in a hurry to go all the way to the stone cliff platform today. Looking at her experience bar, there was still about less than ten percent of the progress that could be promoted to level 5, Rococo thought about it for a while, and chose to refresh the wild boars and wolves of about level 5 in a place a little closer to Sheeran Town.
Although yesterday afternoon was the last to rely on her superhuman reflexes and operations to be safe, the danger of brushing the big boar alone without the level 5 passive skill [Balance Mastery] was indeed something that Rococo could not underestimate. At the moment, since you only have a little experience from level 5, it is better to upgrade to level 5 near the village and town, and then return to the town to learn the [Balance Mastery] from the professional mentor, and then go to the stone cliff to farm the big boar, which is obviously a safer way for the next leveling process in Rococo's opinion.
Level 5 wild boar and wild wolf,The danger is obviously not comparable to the level 8 big boar,In fact, the danger of the big wild boar,It's only because of the first-hand second ability of the low-level pig spur skill,When it comes to the offensive and defensive attributes of ordinary hand-to-hand combat,Wild monsters below level 10 are actually for players of the same level,As long as the player's sense of operation is better, it will not be too threatening。
Of course, since there are already a lot of players leveling up in this area, in order not to look so shocking, Rococo did not use the skill of shooting without damage from the card vision, after all, although the [projectile mode] skill is the initial skill of the bow and crossbow shooter, but the injuryless projectile skill was only developed by high-end players in the middle of the game in the previous game, and now this point in time is used by a rookie who has just entered the game, which is a little too impactful for these ordinary players.
However, even if Rococo didn't want to be high-profile, she soon attracted a lot of attention from the players around her. After all, in "Redemption", a game where the player's appearance is not much different from reality, a beautiful girl of Rococo's level is extremely easy to attract attention, not to mention that this beautiful girl who does not lose to any reality idol also has a convincing good technique.
In the initial stage when the crossbow shooter is not able to move and shoot, with the accurate calculation of the enemy's movement speed and his own movement speed, coupled with the subtle grasp of the application timing of the initial skill [Shoot Legs], a single person can kite and kill a level 5 monster without damage, or only pay a small amount of health to kill two monsters at once, such a skill can be described as a miraculous skill in the early crossbow archer class.
For many teams that level up here, even those high-end teams with a fixed studio or union background, what Rococo shows is undoubtedly full of appeal.
Unfortunately, just as several team leaders were eager to step forward and invite Rococo, suddenly a white light that they were all familiar with rose from Rococo's body.
Finally level 5!
Rococo, who knew very well that she seemed to have become the focus of attention in a small area, couldn't help but rejoice in her heart at this moment, to be honest, although she had no scruples about rejecting those inviters, but as a special being with the biggest secret and salvation mission in the entire game, it was indeed undesirable for her to be paid such attention when she first became a player.
So, before those invitees could seize the opportunity of the Rococo upgrade to stop, they saw this beautiful girl who was a master of the game turn her head neatly and left, and without saying a word, she went straight in the direction of Hilan Town.
Although I really want to invite Rococo, but after all, they are strangers to each other, and none of these invitees don't know each other enough to come up and stop them, so I can only watch this master beautiful girl leave with regret, and I regret that I didn't act earlier.
Rococo didn't care what they thought, returned to Hiran Town, and spent a little copper coin on the initial instructor of the system-designated crossbow shooter in Hilan Town-as a beginner's discount, the tuition fee for the initial skill is quite cheap compared to the vocational skill tuition after the transfer--After learning the [Balance Mastery], he added some supplies, and then set off again in the direction of the stone cliff platform in the suburbs.
According to the progress of the previous life game recorded by the NPC system, on the fourth day after the open beta, that is, today, the top player groups of the empire and the federation will begin to enter the main city of the forces one after another, and the main story on both sides will also be officially opened.
She's going to have to hurry!
With a sense of urgency, Rococo came to the Stone Cliff Platform with ease, although the current players' vanguard troops have probably reached level 9, but due to the existence of the low-level pig spur skills of the big wild boar, there are still no player teams in the Stone Cliff Platform generation.
However, just as Rococo was about to find the first target on the platform, suddenly an unexpected "thing" appeared in her field of vision.
…… A corpse...... Gamer?
