Chapter 10: The Secret Realm
It's summer, and there's no shortage of barbecue stalls in the northern seaside cities. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Draft beer, seafood, a plate of edamame, and dozens of skewers of flower meat, small kidneys and other skewers. The two of them ate with relish.
"You're a poor man, if you haven't seen a dinner for more than a year, please."
"You know the." Li Moyou dipped some beer in his hand, and said in Kong Yiji's tone, "Do you know how many ways to write the bean character for edamame?" ”
Zhang Chao was too lazy to take care of it, so he took out his mobile phone and swiped the game stickers and forums.
The top ten who have passed the novice trial have been listed through the official website, and Zhang Chao and Li Moyou, who were hung up early, are naturally not on the list.
"Team Lee." Zhang Chao stroked a handful of meat skewers and said, "Let's rebuild the team!" ”
Li Moyou drank a glass of draft beer and let out a turbid breath.
"You came all the way to have a meal with me on a sonic train, didn't you just say that?"
Picking up the draft beer cup in his hand, Zhang Chao drank it and said viciously: "I want to think about it, but I still can't swallow that bad breath." ”
"Let's call back!" Staring at Li Moyou's eyes, Zhang Chao was full of expectations.
Raising his head silently, Li Moyou only said one word lightly: "Okay." ”
As soon as he slapped the table, Zhang Chao said excitedly: "Okay, I'll contact Xiao Jiang tomorrow!" Then bring the luggage, and we'll rebuild the maple leaf right away. ”
"Damn, what's the hurry?" Li Moyou squirted out a mouthful of wine, touched the wine foam on his mouth and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This Zhang Chao is good, and he is also very angry with himself, but he is too easily frizzy and can't wait for anything.
Pressing down the enthusiastic Zhang Chao, Li Moyou said: "Forming a team is not as simple as you imagined, not to mention the funds, venues, and personnel, the oracle has just started serving, and the connotation of it has not been clarified before the team is hurriedly formed, it is too easy to end up without a problem." ”
"Also, this thing is like writing a novel on the Internet, if you don't figure it out, you will pass tens of thousands of words, and it will be easy to be a eunuch in a few days." Zhang Chao nodded, he is a relatively simple person, with three hobbies: football, online games and novels.
The two chatted about their recent lives, talked about the past, and looked to the future, but they were also happy.
"it!" Suddenly, Zhang Chao stood up from the chair with a handful of meat skewers in his hand, which frightened Li Moyou so much that he almost squirted out the wine again.
"Why are you surprised?" patted his chest, pressed down the wine that almost squirted, and said dissatisfiedly.
"I'm still eating a fart meal, I'm going back to play a dungeon!" Zhang Chao hurriedly handed the mobile phone to Li Moyou.
There is a hot video post on the forum, called "Mom called you home to fight the secret realm!" 》
It turned out that as the meows began to work, some basic functions of the city were officially put into operation, and one of them was to open the secret realm.
The negative level, known as the "Basement", is made up of countless floating islands that float in the void under the protection of a magical shell.
There are several types of floating islands, the most famous of which is naturally the player's main city of Anklama City, and the other most eye-catching is the secret island.
The setting of the secret realm is equivalent to the dungeon in other online games, and there are three types: public secret realm, independent secret realm and random dream realm. The difficulty of each secret realm is also different.
And clearing each secret realm, in addition to the output of killing monsters in the secret realm, you will also get a very considerable treasure chest reward. The whole post shows the secret realm of a team of five people who first get through the slime lair.
"I took the train back." Zhang Chao got up first, impatient. Nowadays, thanks to the technology of sonic bullet trains, there is no sense of distance between cities.
Li Moyou also quickly settled the account, asked for a plastic bag to pack the remaining meat skewers, took a taxi to send Zhang Chao to the train station, and then returned home.
In the bedroom, Li Moyou had just fallen down on the bed when his mobile phone rang.
"Meteor, meteor, that's how you like to be fleeting~"
When I opened my phone, I saw that it was a call from the owner of the supermarket in the community where I worked part-time. This person's surname is Sun.,It's also a game expert.,There's no seriousness in your 30s.,Usually the two of them play mobile games in a supermarket together.。
"Hey, what's the matter with Brother Sun?"
"Ah Xiao Li, are you free? Brother, excuse me? ”
"What's the matter, you say first?"
"What, I spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy an oracle's internal test number, I heard that the secret realm is open, I want to go in and have a look, can you come and help me see the store?" Brother Sun said with some embarrassment: "Don't be busy refusing first, can you triple your salary?" ”
Li Moyou frowned. At this moment, he thought a lot.
Now in this society, because the welfare has been greatly improved, the medical insurance, housing and subsistence insurance system are basically perfect. Suffice it to say, if you don't have any big ambitions, you can feed the whole family without starving.
As long as you don't threaten social harmony, even if you stay at home and sleep all day and are a qualified citizen, the government will give you a minimum allowance.
After experiencing that incident, Li Moyou really wanted to be in a mess for the rest of his life.
So I deleted most of my contacts' phone numbers, and I only talked to my family a few times sporadically.
Fortunately, after more than a year of life training, he slowly realized the difficulties at home and walked out of decadence.
"I'm sorry Brother Sun," Li Moyou sighed and said honestly: "I also plan to go to the secret realm today, and I plan to be a full-time gamer, so I may not go to your side to help in the future." ”
Now that gaming has become a pillar of the industry chain, being a full-time gamer can be said to be a very common profession.
"Uh, okay. Brother knows that you used to be a competitive player, and I won't tell you the truth, my brother was still your fan back then haha. Brother Sun smashed it and said: "No matter whether the result is good or bad, it is always a good thing to regain your dreams, Brother Sun supports you, and you can still play here if you are free." ”
I didn't expect Brother Sun to know that he had played in competition before. Li Moyou was a little moved.
Hanging up the phone, Li Moyou repeated, dream.
At the beginning, because of the same e-sports dream, he, Zhang Chao, and a group of young men got together.
It's a warm little family, training, playing games, live broadcasting, although the money is not much, but everyone feels like they are fighting for a goal, which is really enthusiastic.
However, also because of dreams. The more and more money he made, the mutual suspicion between his teammates, the competition within the industry, the intrigue in the circle, and the thing that was enough to break him down, the team finally disbanded.
sighed.
In the humble room, the propaganda poster of "Oracle" hung on the wall, and the font on it was so shining at the moment.
"Want to be the star of the crowd?"
"I'm waiting for you here!"
Li Moyou opened the game warehouse and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you become a star or not. ”
"The key is that I have to make money."
Before entering the game, you need to do a pre-task before opening the secret realm: the amazing Meow Both.
Description: Every time you open the secret realm, you will spend a lot of city energy, do some chores for the miserly Meow Both, maybe he will be willing to help you.
"Oh my God, it's called chores, too?" The Fish-Man, the Bloodfiend, and a skeleton were all looking incredulous.
At this time, they are at the city's airport terminal, and their handy task is to unload an entire ship.
Li Moyou patted the Blood Demon on the shoulder and said with relief, "It's good that you have four arms." ”
After sweating profusely, the three of them rushed to the church non-stop, received a pass to open the secret realm from Meow Both, and then walked through the city gate casually.
This so-called city gate is actually a large teleportation array, which can teleport people into secret realms or other novice cities.
"Hello, respected guardian, I'm the teleporter Verme, what do you need?" A tall beautiful cat bowed and greeted.
"We want to pass on the secret realm!" The quick-tempered Zhang Chao was the first to speak.
"What kind of secret realm do you want to preach?"
"Uh, what kind of secret realms do they have?"
There are three types of secret realms.
Public secret realm, no restrictions on entering the squad, no clearance chest, but will randomly refresh the scene treasure chest in the map, monsters will not be refreshed after death, is the main place to obtain energy, minerals, wood and other resources. Average difficulty: 1 star.
Independent secret realm, limited to 1 squad to enter, there are customs clearance treasure chests, and the secret realm is more complicated. Difficulty: 1~5 stars.
Random dream, limit 1 team to enter, random teleportation, it may be an ancient ruin, it may be an ancient godhead dream, it may be an abyssal lair, and you can get dream coordinates after clearing the customs. Difficulty: 5 stars (not recommended for beginners).
"The tough guy is going to challenge the limit, it must be a random dream!" Zhang Chao, who held the dignity of a professional player, held a fish flipper and shouted, vowing to challenge the highest difficulty.
"You're killing yourself!" Li Moyou glanced at each other and wanted to despise the other party, but unfortunately the skeleton had no eyeballs. "We choose the Secret Realm of Independence."
"At present, there are four independent secret realms that can be opened, namely Slime's Lair (1 star), Rainbow Bridge (2 stars), The Old Man and the Sea (2 stars), and Little Red Riding Hood (3 stars)." Vile the Cat elaborated elegantly.
"Rainbow Bridge?" Li Moyou turned his head to look at the other two and asked.
I watched the forum to clear the slime lair before, but it was not challenging to fight a few monsters, and there were not many good things in the reward chests.
Rainbow Bridge, the maximum number of squads: 1~5 people.
Recommended level: 0~10, 2-star secret realm.
Description: This was once a kindergarten, and we all grew up here, meow.
"Well, I'm not very good at playing, what should I do if I drag you back." After completing the colorless Meow Bos mission, the Blood Demon repaid the song for finishing seventh and getting an iron mace, which became more and more hideous on his shoulders.
"It's okay, we're two very strong, cover you." Zhang Chao pointed to Li Moyou next to him.
