As the voice of the system fell, Si Xiao's front lit up, and a magnificent picture appeared, accompanied by passionate music, an old and wise voice began to slowly introduce the game background of the second life.

However, Si Xiao did not appreciate this CG that every player will see when they enter the game, but calmly chose to skip it. There is no other reason, this video has been hanging in the second life section of the big game network for almost half a year, I believe that every player who is interested in the second life has seen it more than once, and he is naturally no exception. Although the video he saw on the light brain couldn't be compared to the immersive scene in the game warehouse, he still wanted to get into the game faster when he had time to watch it later.

[You have chosen to skip the game introduction, please confirm.] 】

"Sure."

[You are landing on the second life for the first time, please create a character first.] Please note that the characters in Second Life are tied to your Citizen ID, and only one character can be created per Citizen ID. The role cannot be logged in with another citizen ID, cannot be modified from the data level, and no one but you is eligible to delete your role. After deleting a role, you need to wait 30 days before you can create it again. 】

[First of all, please select your race, you can choose the race are: human, elf, undead. 】

After reading some simple introductions on the forum, Si Xiao knew that there were only five races in the second life, namely humans, elves, mermaids, undead and blood clans, but mermaids and blood clans were not available to players, so only these three could players really choose.

Although there are no factions in the second life, the characteristics of several races still determine that it is difficult for them to get along harmoniously. The five races are distributed in different locations on the entire continent, and on the surface they do not interfere with each other, but secretly there are constant small frictions, but no major wars have broken out. However, sooner or later, the addition of players will change this stalemate.

"Humans." Si Xiao did not hesitate.

Your race is human. Please select your class, you can choose from the following classes: Warrior, Mage, Priest, Knight, Assassin, Archer. 】

With the introduction of the system, the image of Si Xiao's six major professions appeared in front of him, and when his gaze swept over, he nodded at him.

Si Xiao didn't hesitate to answer the "assassin", but at the last moment, he stopped the car, touched his chin, and looked at the six "himself" in front of him.

He didn't look like a staunch Assassin as others thought, but he was actually very interested in trying out every profession, and he was trying it to some extent. It's just that Assassin was the first class he played in the game, and it was also the profession he became famous, so everyone else thought that he had only played Assassin. In fact, some people think that among the popular games that Thorn Xiao has not played, he uses other professions and game names, and there are several names he has used among the "short-lived top masters" counted by someone on the forum.

It is undeniable that assassination is his most played and slippery profession, and it is safest to use assassins to enter a second life, but this time he suddenly wanted to die......

Moreover, this is probably the last time he will stand in the login space and choose a career......

Well...... So, what should you choose?

After pondering for a long time, Si Xiao spoke: "Mage." "Since it's a 'second life', it's better to choose the one that is the most different from your original career. Si Xiao had played mage before, but he didn't like it very much, because this profession was delicate and easy to push, which did not fit his hobby of running around and doing all kinds of death, but in this game, which claimed that any profession has infinite possibilities, naturally there was no need to worry about this.

This is undoubtedly an adventure, using an unfamiliar profession to enter this new world that is different from the past, it is like a gamble, and everyone is happy if you win, and if you lose, you will never recover.

However, all his worries have to be detoured in the presence of 'interest', and he has the confidence to be as good as anyone else.

As soon as Si Xiao's voice fell, the remaining five images in front of him dissipated, wearing a silver-white mage robe, holding a silver-white staff inlaid with rubies in one hand, and holding a thick spell book in the other, stepped forward a few steps, and the expression on his face immediately became vivid. First swept the surroundings with the corner of his eye, as if he found that there was no danger, then raised his head slightly, looked directly at Si Xiao, and nodded reservedly.

This is the setting for the mage profession, noble, arrogant and discreet, erudite and willing to learn all things related to spells.

……

[The race you choose is human, the profession is mage, the appearance is set to scan the whole body, no adjustment, the sensory settings are all highest, and the battle mode is real battle.] Please double-check. 】

"Sure."

[Please enter your role name.] Once the character name is confirmed, it cannot be changed, so please consider it carefully. The format is required to be two to seven Chinese characters, and it is strictly forbidden to use names with insulting, discriminatory, pornographic and other types of words, and violators will be punished with the lightest ban and the heaviest notification to the legal department. 】

[Mr. Si Xiao, after verification, it was found that your former name 'Thorn Xiao' has a five-star rating in the big game network and has been protected, do you want to use it?] 】

This is one of the places where the "official" big game network is praised, players who are slightly famous in the game circle can apply for a rating of their game name, and the level certified by the big game network is one star to five stars, and the importance increases. All character names that have been certified as star ratings are not available without their ID to avoid being maliciously registered. And the names of those top masters, as well as the presidents and senior managers of some big guilds, are even permanently locked, even if they quit the game circle and apply in person, they can no longer be used by others.

There have not been more than fifty such names in a decade combined, and "Thorn Dawn" is one of them.

Si Xiao chose to say no, and wrote the words 'Master Xiao' on the handwritten screen that appeared in front of him. Since I don't play Assassin anymore, I can't use the name of Assassin, which is full of Assassin flavor. Si Xiao's name has been complained about by countless people, the assassin profession is called Thorn Xiao, the mage profession is called Mage Xiao, if he plays other professions, maybe there are names like Gong Xiao and Warrior Xiao.

Congratulations, this character name is not being used. Your character has been created and is about to enter the game. 】

[Dear Mage Xiao, you are about to descend on the small town of Fulak, which is mainly inhabited by humans......]

Si Xiao decisively chose to skip when the voice tried to continue the previous unfinished introduction, and went directly to the game.

【…… Happy playing. 】

……

As soon as it was dark and bright, the scene changed. The foothold is the town's teleportation hall, where every novice player is born. The space of the teleportation hall is quite large, with a frighteningly high roof, and white lights continue to flash as far as Si Xiao's eyes can see, and then players wearing gray novice outfits appear one after another, looking around with a new look on their faces.

The moment Si Xiao stepped on the ground, he reached out and pulled the hood of the new technique master's robe, and slid out of the crowd and into a corner with a few wrong stepsβ€”as a former top assassin, it was almost instinctive to reduce his sense of existence and stay away from the crowd when he was unclear, even if he was no longer an 'assassin emperor' now, or even an assassin no longer existed.

After doing this set of actions reflexively, Si Xiao reacted, if it was in the usual games, as a first-level novice or a mage, all aspects of his attributes were strictly limited by values, even if he reacted instinctively, he would never be able to do such a smooth action. In Second Life, players can do everything they want to do within the limits of their physical fitness, and everyone has infinite possibilities, which is more like a real world.

This is the world he has been looking forward to for a whole decade!

Hold back a little too fast your heart rate, and it's important to get down to business now. Si Xiao found the space bag given by the system from his waist, there was nothing in it except a money bag, opened the money bag and poured it down, rolling out a silver coin.

Si Xiao was speechless for a while, the exchange rate of the second life coin is 100:1, one silver coin is 100 copper coins, novices can learn three skills, and it adds up to 90 copper coins, and the rest is probably only enough to buy a lowest-level weapon - it is said that the second life official is very picky, and this is just after entering the game.

Shaking his head, Si Xiao casually grabbed a player who was better equipped and asked him where to learn the novice skills.

"Learn skills? It depends on the battle mode you choose, if you want to support the system, you can go to the store and buy the skill scroll directly, and if you are in the real battle mode, you have to go to the novice training camp to learn from the NPC mentor. If you don't know the way, follow the others, and out of the teleportation hall, the crowded side is the shop, and the less crowded side is the training camp. "The players who were pulled were enthusiastic.

"Thank you." Si Xiao thanked him and walked out of the teleportation hall. The player suddenly slapped his head: "Hey, I forgot to tell him that he should buy a weapon first!" ”

After walking with the flow of people for more than ten minutes, Si Xiao arrived at the novice training camp, and the movement speed of the novice mage was really slow enough.

The door of the training camp was open, and the inside didn't look too big, but it was crowded with three or four hundred people standing inside, and I didn't know how to learn the skills at that time. Hundreds of people were talking in an enclosed space, and the buzzing sound gave him a headache.

"Hey, you! If you want to get in, get in quickly, don't block the door! After a moment of carelessness at the door, the NPC guarding the door of the training camp shouted at Si Xiao. Si Xiao walked a few quick steps into the gate, and saw a few guards coming, and began to drive away the players who had not yet entered the door, and wanted to close the door of the training camp.

"What's going on? Why don't you let it in? "One of the players who was forced to retreat asked questions.

A passerby replied, "Haven't you seen the strategy of the closed beta players, have you?" This boot camp is like this, opening the door once a day in the morning and afternoon, and it lasts for 20 minutes at a time. You're late now, so you'll have to wait for the afternoon wave, so remember to come early. ”

It seems that I am so lucky, I don't know anything and catch up with the last moment. Si Xiao, who was at the tip of his ear, sighed.

In the training camp, players of different classes are grouped together, with the largest number of mages and warriors, with more than a hundred people in a single class, and the least archers, with only a few dozen or so.

Si Xiao walked to the mage's team, and as soon as he stood still, a shrunken player in the crowd came up: "Hey buddy, have you bought a staff?" ”

Si Xiao shook his head, the other party smiled and moved closer, and lowered his voice: "Dude, novice, don't you know that players don't have magic skills without weapons?" How about buying a handful. As he spoke, he took out a swarthy staff from his backpack, "30 copper coins, Tong Su is not bullied." ”

"No, not interested." Si Xiao shook his head. This staff is obviously an inferior item that sells 10 copper coins in the store, and the price of 30 copper coins is enough to be black.

Seeing Si Xiao's refusal, the reselling player guided him step by step: "Don't refuse so quickly, think about it, if you don't have a staff now, you won't be able to learn skills, and you will have to wait until about five o'clock in the afternoon." Mages are not like warriors and other professions, they can cut flat without skills, and you will waste six or seven hours in between! For such a long time, you have used to fight monsters to make money, and the money you make is more than these 20 copper coins. ”

He continued: "If you are worried that you will not be able to learn skills after spending too much money, we can go to the big game network to sign a contract, and I will give you 20 copper on credit, as long as you pay it back to me within today, there will be no interest, how about it?" You save time, I earn money, and everyone is happy! ”

He smiled widely, confident in the success of the business. Those who will rush to learn skills without buying weapons, are not the kind of rookies who don't even know how to read the strategy before playing the game, or they are overconfident in themselves, no matter what kind of thing they are, they are the easiest to be fooled by three or two good words.

There are many ways to make money in the second life, earning 20 copper coins in half a day is a trivial matter for some people, but it definitely does not include these rookies, when signing the contract, the overdue interest is written a little higher, and the profit is very considerable. The contract of the big game network has legal protection, and if he refuses to repay the money, he can be forced to deduct it from the account.

Si Xiao can see at a glance that he has been playing games for ten years, and all kinds of people have seen a lot, even if he is regarded as a wronged leader, he is not angry. He didn't want to bother with that tongue, so he simply moved two more steps to the side silently, waiting for the other party to give up.
