Chapter 1 The correct way to open the game

Newbie Village. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The village is so quiet in late autumn that you can only hear the stream rushing through the village. Maple trees are planted along the stream, and their leaves are already red, and from a distance, they look like bright flames and clear red wine. As the breeze passed, the red leaves were blown off, and they floated down one by one, sticking softly to the surface of the water, and being carried downstream by the flowing water.

The maple trees downstream are interspersed with poplars. A few unnamed birds among the branches chirped a few times, so startled that the autumn insects that were still breathing at the bottom of the leaves did not dare to make a sound, and trembled. On the village road, there are also a few NPCs with their names on their heads, walking lazily and occasionally talking a few words.

Suddenly, a burst of white light flashed one after another, and everywhere there were dusty birds flying, and a few wild cats climbed up the high branches of the trees, looking down in horror at the crowd that suddenly appeared below.

Only the NPCs were unmoved, and although the village instantly became a little crowded, they still went about their business.

Jia Yu entered the game, his eyes were white, and when his eyesight recovered, he had already stepped on the land of "Phantom World".

There were people all around, and there was a lot of exclamation.

"Wow! Sure enough, it's so realistic! Look at the tree! That house! Look at you! Oh can't see, look at me! ”……

"Oh, don't pinch me, it hurts!"

"Turn down the pain a little bit." ……

"Wow! Brother! I can stand up! I can jump! I can go! You can still run! Look! ”……

"Woo woo woo...... I finally saw the light...... Woo woo woo ...... "......

…………

Jia Yu stomped his feet lightly, and there was a strong and hard touch under his feet, and with a slight jump, the gravity was the same as in reality.

The sense of standing is the basic condition for seeing whether the skeuomorphism of a game is in place. Some games are made to stand lightly, but they will feel clumsy when they move, and the sense of substitution will be very low.

Jia Yu rubbed his fingers, it felt very delicate, the friction of the fingerprints was made, and it seemed that the sense of touch was also in place.

Touch is the most difficult thing to virtualize in all the senses, and the sense of touch can be done well, which shows that the degree of realism in this game is very high.

Doing these basic tests before entering the game is completely Jia Yu's personal habit. Because he used to be a virtual game producer, he would personally test every game he supervised, and he would also guide the restoration of some very detailed things. But unfortunately, in the past ten years, the three game companies he has worked for in a row have not survived until the game is listed, and they went bankrupt or were acquired for various reasons. Three such blows in a row, as heavy as watching his child die three times in a row, made him a little disheartened.

So Jia Yu gave up continuing to be a game producer and planned to change careers to become a professional gamer, so that he did not completely leave his beloved game industry.

"Phantom World" is Jia Yu's most optimistic virtual game, for no other reason, because it has a large backstage and a world-class production team. So he chose to come to "Phantom World" to develop.

Jia Yu continued to raise his hand and smell the clothes, there was a faint smell of laundry detergent, and sure enough, the sense of smell was also very realistic, so that the details were carefully designed. After looking around, the visual and auditory senses needless to say, they are somewhat enhanced compared to the real characters.

In the distance, Jia Yu saw a tea stall. "Go and try it," Jia Yu thought in his heart and walked towards the tea stall.

After such a while, there are a lot fewer players in the village, except for some who are still looking for people, almost all of them go to the wild to fight monsters and upgrade.

The owner of the tea stall was an old man, with a gray beard that reached to his chest, and a smile on his face. He was dressed in a light gray coarse cloth dress, with a white apron, a white rag on his right shoulder, and a small coarse cloth hat on his head. Tea is being boiled on the stove at this time.

There are only three or five tables in the tea shed, which are neatly cleaned up.

Jia Yu walked in and shouted, "Boss, come to a bowl of tea." ”

With that, he sat down at the nearest table.

The old man of the tea stall responded with a "Okay", took down the rag and wiped the table in front of Jia Yu, put a big bowl of black pottery, and the bowl was clean with some matte, and then the old man picked up the long-spouted teapot on the tea stove, separated by more than a meter, and lit three points in the black pottery bowl with the long teapot spout, which was just full.

"Three copper coins, not on credit." The old man of the tea stall stretched out his hand with a smile.

Want money? Uh, forget about this stubble, I used to be a game producer to test the game, which thought about the problem of money, and the background values were written casually. I don't know what the starting capital of "Phantom World" is, and it would be embarrassing if there was no money for a bowl of tea.

I opened the backpack panel and took a look, but fortunately, there were 500 copper coins.

After paying, Jia Yu opened the game map and began to take a closer look.

At this time, outside the tea shed, some players who went to fight monsters walked one after another, and when they saw Jia Yu drinking tea in the tea shed, some light laughter floated over from time to time.

"Hey, there's a fool still drinking tea there!"

"What about that!"

"Look in the tea shed over there, do you see it?"

"Huh! Really, what did he think, didn't he know about the triple experience of the game opening for three hours? Why don't you remind him! ”

"Forget it, I don't know. Let's go fight the monsters. ”

"Okay, let's go." ……

Half an hour later, some of the people who had just gone out to fight monsters came back to replenish their supplies and passed by the tea shed again.

"Look, that guy still drinks tea."

"yes, it doesn't seem like there's a brain problem, or it's not here to play a game at all...... It's so difficult to upgrade, I don't have skills at first, I can only punch and kick. ”

"yes, yes, I haven't reached level 2 in half an hour, and my arms are sore, if it weren't for the realism of this game, I wouldn't want to play."

……

Jia Yu finally finished his research, drank the last sip of the third bowl of tea, felt the faint coarse tea taste again, slid along the tongue into his throat, the tea fell into his stomach, and the lingering fragrance flooded from his throat to his nasal cavity, and he couldn't help but sigh very emotionally: Even if the game he made was released on the market, he was afraid that he would be squeezed to death by "Phantom World".

Alright, let's get to work.

Before entering the game, Jia Yu did some homework on "Phantom World", although "Phantom World" is under the banner of letting players explore by themselves, but Jia Yu still saw some clues. Just after carefully studying some of the information obtained from entering the game, Jia Yu felt more sure in his heart.

In the early stage of this game, it is definitely not necessary to kill monsters normally to earn experience, with such a high degree of realism, not everyone has that kind of combat ability. Ordinary people don't know fighting skills, and the only way to improve their combat power is to rely on equipment, and the equipment either kills monsters, buys it, or does it yourself. Among them,It's impossible to make your own equipment at the beginning of the game.,It's a bit illogical to kill monsters.,The combat effectiveness of players is not so high.,It takes a long time to wait for the monster to upgrade to the point where you can kill monsters that can explode equipment.。 The remaining option is to buy, but the initial funds given by the system are not enough to buy.

It seems that the correct way to open the game is to do the money farming task first.

…………

The money brushing task in the novice village is a low-level errand task, a carrying task, and the remuneration is not high, just one or two copper coins, not enough for a bowl of tea. The better thing is to go to the wild to catch rabbits, catch birds and other hunting tasks, you can earn a dozen copper coins to dozens, ranging from a dozen.

The highest is the Blacksmith quest, where the Blacksmith collects Iron Arrows for 100 copper coins. But this explosion that only has to kill level 5 field archers should be set up for players around level 10 to do the task of swiping money. But Jia Yu had an immature idea in his heart and planned to give it a try.

Turn the street and cross the only small wooden bridge in the village (it is said to be a small wooden bridge, but it is actually a passage made by a few tree trunks) to the blacksmith shop across the creek.

The blacksmith shop is facing the street, and there is not even a flag sign, only a two-meter square grass shed, under which is a very large bellows, on one side is a coal fire with a stone plate, an anvil, and on the other side is a large water tank, and there are some copper and iron ore piled up in the corner. On the exterior door face, there are rows of weapon blanks, most of which are swords, and a small part are daggers and shield parts.

In the blacksmith shop, there was a strong man who was a blacksmith with a hammer and a hammer, and two apprentices, one pulling bellows and the other collecting miscellaneous items inside and out.

Jia Yu looked at the logo on the top of the blacksmith's head, three iron-gray Songti characters "Stone Blacksmith".

"Hello, stone blacksmith."

The stone blacksmith stopped the tinkling work in his hand, and he didn't wipe his sweat, he looked at Jia Yu like this, and spoke roughly, "What's the matter with you!" ”

"Do you have anything to collect, I can collect it for you."

The stone blacksmith glared at Jia Yu and looked Jia Yu up and down, "You can't collect it!" If you don't buy anything, let's go! I still have to work! ”

Jia Yu thought to himself, it seems that there is a level limit. But he didn't give up, wondering, how do NPCs judge whether players are capable or not? If the trumpet of level 1 takes an artifact-level equipment, won't it be able to kill the novice monster of level 5? No, the judgment mechanism of NPCs in this novice village should not be so complicated, and it should only be a way of judging based on level. So what if the player is not level but is really capable of doing a certain task, can the game be set to kill everyone with a stick based on a simple level?

"I do have the ability to complete this task, so leave it to me," Jia Yu said tentatively.

"You?" The stone blacksmith looked at Jia Yu suspiciously, as if he was stuck.

At this time, there was a sudden prompt in the background of the game company.

"Team leader, there is a special situation."

"What?"

"There's a level 1 player who has to take on the blacksmith quest in the Novice Village."

"Oh? It's really a big forest, and there are all kinds of wonders. Give it to him, and remind him that this is a level 10 daily quest, with the lowest quest level being level 5. ”

"Yes!"

"Change the task limit, this kind of general task that players have to take, give them a little hint of the level. We can't blame ourselves for dying. ”

……

"You?" The stone blacksmith's stutter resumed, "This quest is best waited until you're level 5 before coming to me." ”

Jia Yu knew in his heart that he had triggered the backstage emergency processing just now, and he wanted to know what the backstage decision was, so he said, "I'm going to do this task now." ”

"Well, I need the iron arrows of the field archers, 100 copper coins each, you can sell them to me when you have them." After the stone blacksmith finished speaking, he lowered his head to strike the iron, and the sparks splashed everywhere.

Jia Yu received the task prompt, smiled, turned around to leave, and suddenly saw a two-wheeled wooden cart behind the blacksmith shop, which seemed to be used to pull coal, and there was a layer of coal dust on it.

"Stone blacksmith, can you lend me the cart?" Jia Yu asked.

There was nothing out of the ordinary this time. The blacksmith looked up and said, "Rent only, not borrow, 100 copper coins a day." ”

Hey, I can rent it, and it seems that the details of this game are really good.

Jia Yu paid 100 copper coins, and pulled the cart out in the past, which was not too heavy, and the two large wooden wheels wrapped in iron sheets were spinning on the ground, and the friction was greater than that of air tires, but the game character design was also more powerful than the real characters.

When a passing task stream player saw the scene of Jia Yu pushing the cart, he thought there was some carrying task, so he went to the blacksmith shop and asked, "Do you need to move coal?" "The result is naturally a nose of dust.

From the blacksmith's shop, there is a path along the creek that leads all the way to the wilderness. But Jia Yu did not follow this road, but took a long detour and came to the ready-to-wear store in the village first.

This shop is obviously more upscale, not a grass shed, but a serious wooden house facing the street, hanging flags and signs, three big characters, ready, clothing, shop. There are no customers yet, only a fat aunt who looks at the store.

When the fat aunt saw Jia Yu enter the door, she smiled as if she had seen a relative, and hurriedly greeted her.

"Guy smash! Whatever clothes you want to buy, you can pick and choose! We also have customized services! ”

"Hello, I don't buy clothes, do you have strips of cloth, you can make leftovers for clothes."

As soon as the fat aunt heard that she was not here to buy clothes, the heat on her face dropped by three points, but she didn't pick up anyone, although the rags were not valuable, they were still open and doing business.

"Yes, 200 copper coins, pull away the pile in the backyard." It's useless anyway, and the offer is arbitrary.

Jia Yu took a look at it in the past, there were quite a few, a bunch of rags were piled under the tree, it seemed that they hadn't been thrown yet, red, green, long, short, regular, irregular, dirty and muddy below, and there was a layer of new throwing on top.

"It's too expensive, I only have 100 copper coins."

“100?” The fat aunt paused for a moment and said, "Okay, pull it away." ”

So Jia Yu paid the money briskly, ran a few times inside and out, took out the pile of rags, and loaded them in the car.

This car is walking down the street, and the game forums are all hot.

As soon as the post of "Novice Village Weirdo Rab Head" was posted, it opened for the "Fantasy World" section.

The first anecdote of the launch of "Phantom World" has triggered many unobtrusive associations. The following comments are varied:

"Surprise to slip the street to hide the task, there must be hidden secrets, the landlord quickly follow up the investigation"

"The Alliance of Cart-Pulling Enthusiasts marched into "Phantom World", reproducing the craze for pulling foreign cars 500 years ago"

"People are experiencing life! You can't find a car in the real world."

……

"Everyone upstairs! That's a cart, not a cart, okay! ”

"Hahaha push and pull no difference"

"Hahaha push and pull don't like one"

"Hahaha push and pull don't like one"

"Is there still a push-pull difference between the north and the south, tell me what you call this behavior, we call it a cart"

"Cart +1"

The landlord replied: "We are also a cart, but my title is a cloth head, okay, I want to change it to a cloth head, can you understand what the cloth head means?"

"This building is crooked"

……

Jia Yu, who was contentedly pushing a cart on the street, didn't know what was going on in the forum, and he didn't expect that the first time he was noticed was because of such a boring thing.
