Chapter 1: Ten Years of Vicissitudes

"Red dust is like a dream, a dream for ten years? Or did you really travel back in time ten years ago? Li Jiwei stood by the window with his head tilted, his face was complicated and inexplicable, staring blankly at the towering high-rise buildings in the misty rain and fog in the distance, the milky white suspended car lights converged into a long dragon that meandered and did not see the end of the end coiled in the misty gray world, like guarding, like coveting. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The cold rain drifted into the house along the gray windowsill, dispelling the summer heat, wearing a close-fitting single suit, the muscles were sharp and angular, showing a toned figure, which was the body of an eighteen-year-old.

"Boom ——!"

There was a dull thunder in the distance, this is the summer weather, it was fine at noon, and it changed at night.

And Li Ji was also awakened by the thunder, and people also recovered from that inexplicable contemplation.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and the person became open-minded, "What do you care about so much?" Anyway, I am indeed back ten years ago, this is already a fact, I can't just accept it, and I will earn ten years of time in vain, what else is there to think about? ”

"What's more, there are many unsolved mysteries in this world, and I am not a scientist, where do I have so much spare time to explore the reason why I have crossed back."

"And going back to ten years ago, when Anno was opened, didn't that give you a new beginning?"

Thinking of this, Li Ji burst out laughing.

Anno is a cross-era virtual game, made in the context of oriental culture. One of the biggest differences between it and all previous virtual games is that Anno uses a new technology to make the ratio of real time and game time 1:3, which is equivalent to 8 hours of human life in reality, while 24 hours in Anno can live.

There is a saying: a man's life is not determined by his length, but by the life he experiences.

But living 16 hours a day is more than others, even if it's in the game, but how can you live a more exciting life with that extra time?

It's actually an alternative life extension!

Even if in 2205, the average life expectancy of human beings in the Federation reaches 140 years, no one thinks that they are tired of living.

For this reason, Anno was already popular throughout the Federation before he even opened.

The night is coming.

As soon as ten o'clock arrived, Li Ji took a deep breath, his face was calm, and he quickly drilled into the game warehouse as usual.

Detect the body.

Bind DNA.

Create a persona.

"Please choose your favorite race?"

In "Annopoque", there are three races to choose from, which are human, demon, and witch.

"Terran"

"Name?"

"Hassle-free"

"Is the face adjusted?"

"10%."

The following are the rules of the era, please read them carefully.

1. The game time is 22:00-6:00, and the ratio of game to real time is 3:1.

2. If the character dies 3 times, one attribute point will be randomly deducted.

3. Anti-harassment settings, without the consent of the opposite sex, excessive contact will be punished by the system.

4. The realism of the game is close to 99%, please set the screen fineness, bloodiness, pain perception, etc. according to your own situation when entering.

5. Players will be randomly assigned when they enter.

……

Ten years of epochal career, an out-and-out old bird! Li Ji directly skipped the introduction of the rules of the era and entered the game as quickly as possible.

The entry screen is as gorgeous as ever!

Hundreds of millions of heavenly demons covered the sky and the sun, and the black demon tide was surging.

The strongest people in the continent towered the sky like a pillar of heaven, the powerful Martial Emperor Hou Yin Kai single-handedly optimus, the primordial Taoist Yiyunzi Heavenly Sword crossed the sky, the twelve great witches formed into a great array of heavenly gods, the evil qi surged, the white tiger demon king was cracked and revealed that the demon body was pressed against half of the sky, and the demon emperor devoured the sky and was shrouded in billowing smoke, revealing only a pair of stunning blood-red eyes.

The two sides each occupied half of the sky, and as the White Tiger Demon King roared, each of the strongest showed its own strength to compete with the demon tide!

The screen turns.

Li Ji is in a quaint town.

"Sugar mud man, the sugar mud man of He Laosan in Daxiang Town, one of the five copper plates!"

"The fragrant steamed buns that have just come out of the oven, five out of ten copper plates, and those that are still hot, if you want to buy them, you can get them!"

"Pancakes! Pancakes! The well-known Hu Laohan pancakes! ”

The noisy and lively streets, the lively hawkers, the bargaining and spitting customers.

Li Ji just glanced at it, and after identifying the direction, he quickly ran up the street, opening the character attribute panel as he ran.

Character: Carefree

Race: Terran

Level: 1

Experience 0/50

Qi and blood: 30

Physique: 3

Root bones: 3

Perception: 5

Fortune: 5

Stamina: 300

A nine-compartment storage bag with fifty copper plates in its pockets, and other than that, not even a starter weapon.

The Terran was only a civilian before the tenth level, and only the tenth level could choose their own beliefs, and the Terran could choose to believe in Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, martial arts, and demons.

The Buddha believes in the next life, accumulates virtue in this life, and retributes good fortune in the next life; The Tao is to seek eternal life and be at ease; Confucianism is self-cultivation to govern the country and level the world; Martial arts are more complex, there are many aspects, there are protecting the family and defending the country, there are killing demons and eliminating demons, and there are chivalrous deeds; The devil is the king of the strong, and he despises the rules of the world.

The human race is slightly higher in terms of understanding and blessings, while the demon is the highest in physique, and the witch is the highest in roots.

Li Ji, a novice town like this, had only been in for a while ten years ago.

However, looking at this familiar and friendly town, the ignorance, joy, and excitement when the beginning of the era began, the joy of completing a task, and the gritting of teeth for an NPC character to deduct a reward, everything is as if it happened yesterday - vividly.

"Yes, it's him!" Li Ji ran through a small alley and happened to see a young man with a sharp beak monkey cheek and a lewd face crawling out of the back window of a house.

What is the name of this NPC, Li Ji forgot. Because many towns have such similar NPC characters, but the tasks drawn by them are not much different.

Li Ji can remember him, or because the character in the previous life was involved in a lot of turmoil, many guilds and scattered players caused several battles in the early stage in order to occupy the task of this NPC!

Shortly after the start of the service, there was a big fight, and this kind of thing set off a lot of hot discussions on the forum!

Li Ji smiled happily, ran over excitedly, grabbed the shoulders of the thin and pale young man from behind, and shouted loudly: "What are you doing?" ”

"In broad daylight, I actually want to burglary!"

"I'll catch you this time, hurry up and follow me to see the thief, and then the official!"

The lewd young man was so frightened by Li Ji's shouting that he trembled and almost fell into the house, but fortunately Li Ji pulled him with all his strength.

The young man hurriedly jumped down from the window, covered Li Ji's mouth with his left hand in a panic, put his right index finger on his mouth, lowered his voice, and pleaded to Li Ji: "Ah! Brother, be quiet, be quiet! ”

As he spoke, he listened to the movement in the room.

Half a minute later, after the young man found that he hadn't alarmed the owner of the house, he felt like he had put down a big stone in his heart, raised his head and looked at Li Ji, who was standing on the side with his fists clenched, his face was majestic and upright, and his waist was straight.

The young man pondered for a moment, forced a smile and waved his hands, and said, "This brother, I, not a thief, this is my home!" My home! ”

"You know, people are always a bit quirky, and I don't like to walk through the door openly, so what about ......"

Li Ji sneered twice, and glanced at the two dilapidated sacks that were placed under the windowsill with his eyes, as if to say, you kid doesn't make a draft when he lies, this person dares to cheat with all the evidence!

The young man's face turned red, his heart was weak, he smiled awkwardly, and in an instant, as if he had thought of something, he put on a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water and didn't care.

At this point, players will have two options:

One is to threaten him, ask him to share the spoils with him, and then get a reward.

The second is to arrest him and go to the lost owner and get a reward from the lost owner.

It can be said that this is what has pitted countless players.

Choose to threaten him, this NPC young man doesn't eat this set at all, let you say that he won't bird you, and in the end he still has to send him to the owner, but the owner is his father, and his father is extraordinarily short-sighted, stingy, any player who catches his son to his reward will be scolded by him.

If you plan to take this NPC directly to the official, you will be arrested and squatted in prison for a few hours, because the young man's brother-in-law is the leader of the fast hunt in this town.

This pre-quest can be said to directly allow all players to appreciate the autonomy and intelligence of NPCs in the game "Annogus", as well as the high degree of freedom to complete the task.

This NPC young man has a large-scale blacksmith shop at home, and the young man himself is a big gambler, and when he loses all his money, he will steal things from his home and sell them, but this NPC is very shrewd, and what he steals is the weapons or farm tools that the apprentices at home have discarded, even if he takes them out and sells them, he won't care about them, anyway, there are a lot of them in the warehouse.

These junk weapons are sold in the market to gangsters, gangsters or brave people, and because of the quality of the weapons, these things are consumed very quickly, which also gives him a small source of money.

After figuring out the background of the NPC young man, all the players aim for the cheap weapon behind him.

After all, an ordinary long sword and long knife cost seven to eight taels of silver, and the player was born with only fifty copper plates, and he couldn't even afford a sword hilt, while the junk weapon in the hands of this NPC young man only needed ten copper plates to buy, and it could be sold to other players for fifty copper plates.

In the early days, everyone was bare-handed, even a garbage weapon like this is equivalent to an artifact-like existence, with a weapon, you can go out of the town to fight monsters and level up, quickly reach level ten, level ten can be transferred, learn mental methods, martial arts or spells, and then you will be far ahead of others.

It can be said that this junk weapon is a head start!

Li Ji recalled these contents, and naturally did not need to know the details of this young man after constant temptation like other players, and looked at the young man's eyes fixedly, and after a while, he said very pretendedly: "I believe you!" ”

The lewd young man was in an uproar, pointed at himself with a shocked face, and said, "You, do you believe me?" ”

"Yes." Li Ji's acting skills have been honed for ten years, and it can be said that there is no problem in winning the Oscar.

Nodding sincerely, he said word by word: "I! Appearance! Letter! You! ”

"You are not a thief, because your eyes are calm and natural, not at all like the panic and flickering wandering of the thief after he is caught, the initial panic is just that I am frightened."

The young man's face calmed down, and his eyes softened a little when he looked at Li Ji.

"Although I believe you, I will still ask the people in the neighborhood to see if what you say is consistent with what they say."

"By the way, what's your name?" Li Ji asked with a straight face, and at the same time turned to untie the two worn-out sacks under the windowsill, saw the garbage weapons inside, and then pretended to be shocked, while showing a look of longing.

The young man shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "If you want to ask, ask casually, my name is Zhao Wenwu, remember clearly!" With that, he turned around and picked up two sacks and left.

Li Ji watched the other party leave, he only has fifty copper plates on his body now, and Zhao Wenwu's rule is that he won't dump you without a tael of silver, so this time he just got familiar with the other party and left an impression in his heart.

Other people want to buy weapons directly from him, but they don't even think about it, private arms sales are a capital crime, and his family also has a brother-in-law who is the head hunter to sell long knives and long swords in a semi-official camp.

Li Ji also grabbed a small handle of the other party, acted in a play, generously expressed his belief in the other party, to gain the trust of the other party, and left an impression of integrity and honesty in his mind, so that he could secretly open his mouth to buy and sell in the next meeting.
