Chapter 3: April Fool's Day
After a drink with Guo Erli at noon, Wu Liang went home with a beautifully packaged game helmet, and happened to meet the landlord Aunt Zhao's son, Zhao Huangqi, downstairs in the rented apartment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhao Huangqi is a sunny young man, but like Wu Liang, he doesn't like to clean himself up, and he looks a little old...... Some are old-fashioned. He had a very strong relationship with Wu Liang and Guo Erli, and when the two settled in Shangjing, they knew each other for seven or eight years.
"Cool skin, you've started playing games too!"
"Erhei introduced it."
"Tsk, the mountain of Qingluan Hall is different! If it weren't for the shit luck I received an invitation to the global snowstorm, I guess it would have been about ten days before it could be launched. Oh, by the way, where are you going to be? Brother, I can take you! Zhao Huangqi raised his eyebrows again and again, smiling like a lewd uncle.
"Tristram of Canduras, I'm going to be a knight!" Wu Liang said.
Zhao Huangqi scratched his hair, scratched his hair again, and wondered: "Tristram is a small town, why do you choose where?" Oh, don't ask, it's Tristram, I'll look for you when the time comes! Let's kill monsters together and level up. ”
"Okay!" Wu Liang smiled happily, "My name is April Fool's Day, what about you?" ”
"Zhao Laoshi!"
“……”
……
The time of the game is from ten o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the morning the next day, which is only eight hours in reality, but the time in the game is twice the flow rate, that is, Wu Liang has to spend a full sixteen hours in the shelter world.
After having dinner in a hurry and putting three pillars of incense on the spiritual seat of his parents, Wu Liang lay straight on the bed, put on a delicate helmet glowing with fluorescency, and entered the game.
"Did you log in to the Dark Shelter?"
"Yes!"
Swish!
Wu Liang's eyes instantly lit up and darkened, and the picture turned to the entrance animation.
Skip!
This is Guo Er's advice to Wu Liang - as the so-called step first, step by step, every minute and second of the first service is particularly precious, skipping the entrance and saving time is the right way.
The picture immediately turned again, and five big characters that were written like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing flashed out of thin air in front of Wu Liang's eyes.
Dark Sanctuary!
Bite~!
A ball of light fell from the sky, and gradually converged, turning into a fluttering system elf, circling around Wu Liang's cheerful circle.
A melodious, gentle female voice sounded.
"Welcome to the world of Dark Sanctuary, dear players, please choose your ideal class!"
When choosing a class in the Dark Sanctuary, the system will randomly match the player with the appropriate race, and the player is not free to decide.
"Knight!" Wu Liang shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, a fully armed figure appeared in front of Wu Liang, this is a model constructed by the system for Wu Liang, wearing a majestic knight armor, holding a knight's standard sword and a half-human-high inscription tower shield, the whole set of equipment is brilliant, making Wu Liang's image look extraordinary.
"Do you want to adjust your appearance? The range of knots cannot be more than 20%! ”
"No!" Wu Liang gritted his teeth and decided to be his true self.
"The system has detected that your nickname is 'April Fool's', do you want to continue using it?"
The nickname is the player's name in the game, and it is also their code name, and if their common nickname is stolen by others, no one will be happy, so the game manufacturer attaches great importance to this, and can have the priority to use the game nickname that the player has used in the past.
"Yes!"
"April Fool's Day" is the name newly registered by Wu Liang in the virtual Internet café in the afternoon, and the taste is indescribable.
"Please choose the place of birth!"
After speaking, a large map of the Dark Shelter appeared in front of Wu Liang's eyes, and dozens of points of light flashed on the dark map, which was where he could choose.
"Tristram of Canduras!"
Wu Liang had doubts, there seemed to be a lot of choices for knights, but he still chose to pick the rest. Because he always believes that being a man must be responsible, especially a man.
"Have fun!"
A pillar of light suddenly shot out from the map, enveloping Wu Liang, and the pillar of light gradually shrank, and Wu Liang disappeared with it.
……
At this moment, at the headquarters of the Universal Snow Storm Company, a gray-haired old man was closing his eyes and concentrating.
"Teacher! The statistics are out! ”
Suddenly, a young man in a white uniform broke into the office in a rage.
"Tux, how many times have I said that you have to be calm when doing things!" The old man opened his eyes full of wisdom and shook his head in reproach.
"I know, I know!"
The young man known as Tux habitually lifted his glasses, put a mini projector on the table, and said excitedly: "Teacher, please look! ”
The projector vibrated slightly, and a dynamic picture composed of countless rays of light appeared in front of the two of them.
"Worldwide, the first batch of 500,000 gamers has all logged in, and the system is running smoothly without any abnormalities." Tux was proud because he was the game supervisor in charge of running the system.
"Hmm!" The old man nodded calmly, without showing any surprise, for this had already been expected by him, "Tuckers, pride makes people lag behind, let's get to the point first!" ”
Tuckers rubbed his eyes again and said, "The development of the new product has been very successful, and among these 500,000 people, we have found twenty-seven people who have a special reaction!" ”
"Twenty-seven? This percentage is far beyond expectations. For the first time, the old man showed a strange expression, "Well, then, let's focus on following up with these twenty-seven people, who may become the seed players of this trial." In addition, it is important to post missions as soon as possible to the players who are invited, who are the main force that will stir up the existing landscape. ”
"Don't worry."
……
Wu Liang's consciousness slowly returned, and as soon as he saw the European medieval roof, the warm sunlight shining through the arched windows illuminated the whole room.
Turning over, Wu Liang was surprised to find that his outfit had changed, a simple knight's light armor was draped on his body, and the iron pieces jingled when they were touched, which looked very textured.
Touching the armor on his body, it was very cold to start, and the weight was almost the same as reality, Wu Liang couldn't help but sigh at the conscience of the global snowstorm industry.
Bite~!
The system's prompt beep suddenly sounded.
System News: Dear players, you have set foot on the continent of the Sanctuary World to participate in this trial that belongs to the players, and I sincerely wish you to overcome obstacles in the coming disaster, so that your heroic deeds will be praised in the mouths of every Sanctuary human.
System message: Dear players, please note that in addition to the attribute bar, the function bar including the equipment bar, experience bar, skill bar and other items is not open, please explore the game by yourself to obtain it.

System Warning: Dear players, please remember that the Resurrection Altar is not activated, and the character cannot be resurrected if it dies in a short period of time from the start of the server, please cherish your life and stay away from death.
System Prompt: Dear players April Fool's Day, because your fearless heart resonates with the Holy Light, making you a glorious apprentice knight, and joining the Light and Guardian Knights led by the Grand Knight Rakdenan, I hope you can continue to work hard, sharpen your will, and become an elite knight as soon as possible, so that your glory will last forever.
Wu Liang was stunned to read the prompt message that appeared in a swiping rhythm, and he couldn't figure out if it was his wrong way of opening, how could it be different from what Guo Erli said, and he actually needed to explore it by himself!
According to Guo Erhei's instructions, he silently recited the "attribute bar" in his heart.
Hmmm-
ID: [April Fool's Day]
Occupation: Knight (Trainee)
Life: 80
Strength: 5
Energy: 5
Stamina: 5
Dexterity: 5
Wu Liang focused his attention on the question mark in the upper right corner of the attribute bar, and another introduction pop-up window appeared.
"This attribute bar is not complete, including level, attack, defense, etc. has been hidden."
"All players start with five points."
"For the knight profession, one point of physical strength is equal to sixteen points of health."
Wu Liang hadn't figured out the specific situation yet, but suddenly heard a quick knock on the door.
Crunch!
When I opened the door, I saw a white man in delicate armor, tall and strong, with a full beard, and a hideous scar on the corner of his right eye, which looked very fierce.
Wu Liang felt a different kind of momentum on his body, which was not much different from the momentum of some old monsters hidden in the mountains and forests.
"Apprentice Knight April Fool's Day, I am your captain, the official knight of the Four Virtues Casas, now for the routine knightly training, take your sword and come with me!" As soon as he finished speaking to Wu Liang, he turned his head and left, without waiting for him.
Bite~!
The prompt sounds.
"You have the taskbar turned on. Pls do you accept daily tasks, knight training. ”
Mission Name: Knight Training.
Description: You have just joined the Order of Light and Guardian Knights, you have no skills, only through hard training, can you become a qualified guardian, learn from Casas, he is a competent guide.
Objective: Complete the teaching of the official Knight Casas.
Difficulty: Grade F Superior.
Reward: Basic Sword Skills.
Failure Penalty: Unknown.
Although he was a little surprised to get the taskbar suddenly, Wu Liang still chose to accept it without saying a word, and reflexively picked up the saber on the table and went to chase Casas.
When Guo Erli instilled common sense in the game to Wu Liang, he said: "There is a good saying that there are three treasures in the task, send money, give scriptures, and brush gift packages." ”
To Wu Liang's surprise, there were as many as fifty members of Knight Casas's team, all of whom were apprentice-level knights, but he didn't see a single player other than him.
There is a special sense between players and players, which is good for distinguishing players from natives (NPCs) during gameplay.
"Although Canduras is a weak country, and the capital city of Tristram is only the size of a small town, its popularity can't be so low, right?" Wu Liang wondered, and he came a little late, so he could only stand at the end of the queue, the farthest from Casas.
Just as Wu Liang was thinking about how to open the function bar, Casas asked loudly with his sword in both hands, he didn't start training directly, but asked an inexplicable question first.
"First question, who can name our Knights?"
"Light and Protection." A bright-eyed midshipman replied first.
"Excellent! Stand by my side! Here's your reward! Casas, with a rugged face, said with satisfaction, and as he spoke, the scars at the corners of his eyes twitched, and although he smiled, he became more and more terrifying.
And the apprentice knight, who was originally standing at the back of the line, immediately walked to Casas's side with his head held high, and looked at the apprentice knight present proudly with excitement on his face.
"Didn't Guo Erli say that NPCs are all nerds? Intelligence is so powerful that it turns NPCs into human spirits. Wu Liang's mouth opened wide in surprise.
Undoubtedly, the closer the location is to Casas, the easier it is to get his attention, and the intelligent NPC has already understood this truth, and the facial expressions are so realistic that they are almost indistinguishable from real people.
Wu Liang's eyes lit up immediately, realizing that this was an opportunity to successfully complete the task, and the closer the location was to Casas, the more convenient it would be to observe his movements, thereby reducing the difficulty of the task.
"Don't ask too hard questions!" Wu Liang prayed in his heart.
"Second question, can anyone tell me where all knights originate, where they are?"
