Extra: Seven people in the closed beta (4)
ยท
A few days later.
They soon discovered that praying to the temple in the center of the square cost some sort of points, presumably related to online time, monster fighting experience, and production activities. At first, everyone made random wishes, but soon the points were gone, and the wishes no longer came true. In addition to the milk pot, Ru has accumulated a lot of points.
Since the discovery of the mines, the town has grown much faster, and now a lot of tools and machinery can be crafted. Yinyue has created a set of plate armor and shield swords with his own hands, looking majestic and quite handsome, skillfully switching between shield swords and bows, he has become the first person in combat power among the seven, and he is the one who charges forward every time the goblins attack.
And Kafka managed to make the first pistol yesterday. The manufacturing process of flintlock pistols was skipped directly and automatic pistols were made.
This game world fascinates the seven people, as if there are infinite possibilities, freedom and freedom. It's good everywhere, except for one unfortunate thing - there are no NPCs.
They need NPCs.
Civilians, workers, farmers, soldiers, and the like, they feel lonely with only seven players in this vast world. So it became the problem mentioned earlier, and the NPC that appeared to make a wish found that the points were not enough and did not work. This is thanks to the milk pot Ru.
After making a vow to the temple, Milk Potter soon gets a blueprint for a human printer. This was a huge undertaking for the towns, whose productivity levels were still low, and it was tantamount to making a slave society that had struggled to build pyramids suddenly build skyscrapers. Thankfully, it's limited to one machine, and it's just productivity, they're players, and their understanding of drawings and technology isn't primitive.
Kafka, in particular, is quite good at building houses, machinery, and guns in games, and is the only player among the seven players who has enough skills to build sci-fi machines. Everyone pinned their hopes on him, and at the latter's request, the focus of production and gathering was shifted to the mines. metals, they need a lot of raw materials like metals.
After a few more days, with everyone's concerted efforts, the human printer was finally completed.
The raw material is a large amount of food.
The first NPC humans were born. They appear out of thin air from the printer, and their appearance is no different from that of normal humans, but their intelligence seems to be somewhat lacking, but they are already quite intelligent for NPCs. They can do almost any job except for a little thought, and like the players, their skills require a lot of practice. These NPCs have a great deal of reverence for the player who created them, and are obedient to their orders as if they were gods.
The NPCs were divided equally among the seven.
Silvermoon took these NPCs to coordinate the defense of the town and formed the first town guard. With the rapid increase in combat effectiveness, Silver Moon began to have the idea of expanding its force outward.
One day, he spotted the location where goblins were constantly appearing, so he formed an expedition with his most experienced NPC guards and headed to the goblin settlement. This may be a copy, he said to himself before leaving.
Sirius Phantom Feather led a large dog facing the ferocity and walked over, stuffed the rope into Yinyue's hand, and said earnestly: "Brother, this is the war dog I trained, let it accompany you." We haven't been playing this game for long, and if there is a level, it shouldn't be high, so be careful. โ
Such a solemn send-off in the game may be an exaggeration, but it is not too much for the Sirius Phantom Feather. For of the seven, he was the only one who had ever died. After this game died, not only did the equipment explode, but the characters were also gone, and the characters had to be recreated and everything was started from scratch. Death is a big loss in this game, maybe it's really a survival type of game.
"Well, thank you." Yinyue hugged each other gratefully. In just a few days, he and the others had established a comradeship behind him.
He was completely prepared. A hand-crafted steel plate armor protected his entire body, his sword was extremely sharp and his hair was blown off, and his shield was extremely strong. The dozen or so NPCs behind him were also heavily armed and reloaded, spending a lot of iron ore. He's most passionate about fighting monsters, and not only is he experienced in fighting goblins, but he has a reason to go. These goblins are also constantly leveling up, and in addition to the gradual improvement of their weapons, even their combat skills are also improving. Yesterday also saw the appearance of a goblin priest wearing a ghost mask, using healing spells on his companions. He wanted to kill the goblins' lair, destroy the endless stream of enemies, and learn the healing spell.
Everyone will say goodbye.
Rourou stepped forward and gave Yinyue a necklace. The body of the chain is made of gold, and the pendant is a ruby, which looks very exquisite.
She smiled and said, "This is a necklace carefully made by others, which seems to have a special blessing effect." May it protect you, and may it be prosperous. โ
"Hmm." Yinyue immediately hung the necklace around her neck, and suddenly hugged Rourou's head, pulled it over, and gently kissed the latter's forehead.
It happened suddenly, and everyone was stunned.
In the eyes of others, it was a powerful male knight kissing the forehead of a poor man. Although it's just a forehead, they are not father and son, and they look very, very strange.
Pifet saw it in his eyes, but he couldn't express the resentment in his heart, but he just secretly clenched his fists. He has been busy mining with Kafka lately, and is part of the group of people who are resident in the mines, while Rourou and Silvermoon are the ones who guard the town. It is unknown what happened to them during this time, but from this action, it seems that their concern has become very close and extraordinary.
Before Pifet could attack, Kafka also stepped forward and gave a parting gift, an automatic pistol.
"Take self-defense, right?"
"Thanks, no need." Unexpectedly, Silver Moon rejected Kafka's kindness, pushed the pistol back, and ostentatiously drew his long sword, "I have it enough." โ
Originally, this matter ended here, if you don't accept it, you won't accept it, but Kafka began to fight, and he insisted that Yinyue accept the pistol.
Yinyue also unknowingly caught it, but refused to accept it. This was originally a very small matter, either you just took it or threw it away secretly on the way, or you didn't give it away and kept it for yourself, but it turned into an argument.
The first to roar was Kafka: "Why are you so stubborn? Of course, the pistol is more powerful, much stronger than you can hold a broken sword! โ
"What?" Yinyue became even more angry when she heard this, "Why do you say that the weapons I have worked so hard to smelt and forge are not as good as yours?" โ
"Haven't you heard of the phrase "scientific farming, cannon leveling the world?" Kafka sneered, fully expressing his disdain for the armor of the longsword.
Yinyue's cheeks twitched when she heard this, and her tone was low and gradually cold: "You may have forgotten that this is a game and not reality. If you say that in the real world, of course, pistols are more powerful, but isn't this a game of swords and sorcery? Knights, armor, but a man's romance, I only lack a war horse now. โ
"It's obviously a construction and development game, but when did it become a worldview of swords and sorcery?" Kafka pointed to the town and the human printer behind him, "Don't you see those buildings made of steel and concrete?" Don't you have a part of that mysterious machine that only exists in science fiction movies? What part of the worldview is like Sword and Sorcery? It's clearly a sci-fi style game! โ
Yinyue laughed when she heard this: "Ha! Is it? So how do you explain that the Goblin Priest who used the healing technique yesterday was a trick with electric ions? โ
โโฆโฆ If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, electric ions can't be treated, let alone tricks. โ
With that, the atmosphere between the two became a touch. The others could clearly see that Silver Moon was murderous, and his hand began to slowly touch the hilt of the sword, and Kafka slowly moved his index finger towards the trigger.
"Okay, okay, you two stop arguing!" The milk pot Ru stepped forward and pushed the two away, dissuading, "Are you all right, do you know what a small matter you were arguing about just now?" As for it, is it worth it? The worldview of the game, I don't think it's at all, everyone saw that it was a barren place at first, and all the blueprints and skills appeared temporarily after making a wish to the temple. โ
โโฆโฆโ
Originally, the atmosphere of the two of them eased up a little, but the milk pot suddenly added: "If you have to say it, this is obviously a worldview of dancing with nature." With that, he raised a flame in his hand and held a miniature whirlwind in the palm of his other, "Look, this is the elemental magic I just learned. โ
Finished.
The quarrel suddenly escalated to three people, and the more they argued, the more fierce they became, and no one could stop them.
Pifet wanted to interject too, but was already too messy to hold back. He thought to himself that it was all, the world view of this game was supposed to be "the two-person world of me and Rourou", you know a fart.
He was just about to leave and do his own thing, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of Rourou walking in another direction. Where is she going? Pifet couldn't help but be curious, and then secretly followed.
I saw Rourou turn around and walk in the direction of the milk pot, catch up, and gently pat the other party's shoulder.
"Still angry?"
The milk pot Ru was frowning when she turned her head, but when she saw that it was Rourou, she immediately stretched, and her face showed a sunny face: "I won't be angry when I see you." โ
The two laughed and chatted.
Soon, Rourou handed out a ring: "Coax you, right?" This is a ring that has been carefully crafted to improve the commonality with the elements of nature, and I hope you will enjoy it. โ
"Me?" Milk Tjug Ru was stunned for a moment, and took it in disbelief, "Elemental? Could it be that this is ......"
Rourou smiled, "Yes, it's made for you." โ
"Thank you......"
I don't know if the milk pot Ru is indifferent or excited, but his tone is flat but his hands tremble slightly and put the ring on his ring finger!
Pifet was annoyed when he saw it. Why do you wear a ring on your ring finger?
Unexpectedly, the matter is not over yet.
Rourou opened her arms and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be angry, hug you, okay?" โ
Again, Rourou uses a male number, a male number, and the other party is also a man. Two men, although one is a woman, but the other party does not know the truth.
Milk Tjug hesitated, but eventually nodded.
He was held by the tenderness.
For a long time.
He actually showed a relieved and happy expression, his arms gradually climbed up, and he also responded to the other party's embrace, and leaned his face on the gentle shoulder.
Is it tolerable or unbearable! Pifet was about to rush out when he heard a deliberate dry cough from the other direction. When Milk Tuckle Ru and Rourou heard someone coming, they immediately let go of each other and distanced themselves.
The person who came was Kaki, and he came straight to the two of them.
The milk pot is extremely embarrassed, and it is not a good thing that the situation of hugging himself and the man is seen by a third person. He scratched his ears and cheeks and said a few perfunctory words to Kaki, and then ran away in a panic.
Jiaqi watched the milk pot Ru move away, and suddenly turned back to Rourou and asked, "Are you a woman?" โ
"Huh?"
Rourou was caught off guard by the question. She didn't actually think that the fact that she was actually a woman playing a male number would be exposed, it didn't seem appropriate to lie, but it seemed more troublesome to tell the truth.
She was very hesitant and cramped, and did not reply for a long time. Under Jiaqi's several questions, it was not Rourou who answered him, but the Sirius Phantom Feather...... The latter also hid and peeked for a long time. "Of course he's a man."
"Oh?" Kaki raised her chin high, "You know again?" Why is it so conclusive? โ
Sirius Phantom Feather walked up to Rourou's side, put his arm around the latter's shoulder, and said with great certainty, "Because I died once." When I recreated the character, I asked the host NPC if I could create a female character, but they said no. Male players can only create male characters, and gender cannot be changed. โ
This sentence caused Kaki to fall silent. He has been observing Rourou from the perspective of a bystander for a long time, and he is very sissy in words and deeds. While most helmet online games can't build characters that don't match their gender and are too different in size because they involve body control, this game is special, very special, unlike any other game I've played, and it's unusually real like another real Otherworld. So, Kaki became suspicious. But since the Heavenly Wolf Phantom Feather assured like this, the doubts were naturally unverifiable.
When Pifet heard this, of course he understood what was going on. After forcing Rourou to change to a male number, he thought about this problem and had already instructed "Life" to prohibit other players from changing gender. It was really prescient.
But he never imagined that Rourou's charm was so great that playing a male account could attract the favor of other male players. Unexpected.
Kaki had nothing to say, but he didn't completely dispel his doubts in his heart. "I'll tell you a story, there was a band, three men and one woman, and then it was disbanded due to emotional disputes, and the story was over." After that, he pointed his finger at Rourou and said, "I'll keep an eye on you." โ
Kaki left.
Rourou suddenly threw herself into the arms of the wolf phantom feather, and almost wanted to cry: "People are so scared. โ
He hugged her tightly and kept stroking her head: "Don't be afraid, there is me." I'll protect you. The words reveal the infinite tenderness of the wolf phantom feather, this is not like a big brother comforting the little brother, but more like a couple, full of infinite love and pity.
The two hugged each other and refused to part for a long time.
Pifet watched everything from the sidelines...... I can't tell you what it's like.
