Chapter One Hundred and Eight: It's Really Extremely Long-Lasting
The nearly month-long rain around the city of Belia gradually stopped.
The raindrops that fall are gradually becoming more and more sparse and smaller.
The rain, accompanied by a few thunderbolts and a few bolts of lightning, raged in the vicinity of the city of Belia for nearly a month, and the traces of its arrival were piled up both inside and outside the city. It went silently, gradually getting smaller and ceasing to fall from the sky, quietly stopping the rain, and even a few thunderclaps similar to the one it had come from a short time ago, making people think that it was announcing that it was about to remain in this space - but it was the sound of their departure.
Towards midnight the next day, the rain finally stopped.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing a moon that was indistinguishable from the outside world, and a bright light fell from the sky for the first time in a long time.
I just can't say why, but the sky still looks a little dark.
There were no stars in the sky, and the crescent moon seemed to be enveloped in visible black air.
The city of Belia is located in the middle of a forest surrounded by towering trees.
On weekdays, these trees quietly surround the city of Belial, like the most loyal guards.
But at this moment, these still guards shook in large swaths, their torsos crunching and groaning as they shook, and all the water droplets that had accumulated on the surface of the leaves were sprinkled all the way up and exploded with an unknown force!
The water splashed down from the sky, and a large number of trees thousands of meters away from the city of Belia were suddenly uprooted!
They staggered and fell, making a loud cracking noise!
At the same time, all these sounds came out at the same time, and there were strange low roars!
Where the trees fell, huge black-and-red monsters were exposed, and they kept roaring from their mouths towards the sky and the fallen trees.
The roar of the monster echoed through the space.
They were walking slowly through the forest, and the trees were uprooted everywhere they passed, and it was clear at a glance that there were no trees left where they had walked, only bare patches of ground!
Most of the black-and-red monsters resemble humans, except that they are much stronger than humans, with long horns on the top of their heads, metal-like fangs sticking out of their mouths, and a pair of black and red wings on their backs.
But there are also monsters that are about the same height as humans, and their entire bodies seem to be curled up when they walk.
But the speed of this monster is very fast, and when it walks, it seems to be running, and the naked eye can only catch a vague black-red afterimage.
And walk behind countless monsters
But it was a giant monster more than ten meters high!
It's not far from other monsters, but it's more than several times their size!
The other monsters were all between four and five meters tall - this was definitely tall among the creatures of the Azure Continent.
But this monster was like an iron tower, and the other tall monsters in front of it were like dwarfs standing in front of giants, even a few points higher than the walls of Belial City in the distance!
Its whole body was covered with sharp barbs, and its black and red skin was faintly shining with a silver metallic luster!
And the goal of this large area of monsters traveling
It was the sleeping city of Beria a few kilometers ahead.
The city of Belia is lit up with oil lamps, and although the light emitted by these oil lamps can be said to be completely insignificant, standing in the dark forest, Belia City is like a lighthouse in the sea
"System prompt: There are still five minutes left before the end of the independent assessment in the second act, please hurry up. After the assessment time is over, all adventurers will be forced to stop the assessment, and enter the reward space according to the final score from high to low, and receive the corresponding rewards in the second act. ”
"System prompt: The final score of the second act will be calculated according to the correct rate of answering the question and the completion time of the answer, and the total number of adventurers who enter the independent space of the second act is fifty, and the bottom ten will not be eligible to enter the reward space to select the reward."
When the cold voice of the system echoed in the dark space, most adventurers couldn't help but think of the situation when they took the college entrance examination, and the adventurers who remembered this scene subconsciously shuddered
That's a past I really don't want to recall.
"There are only five minutes left, and I have only answered half of the question, what should I do!? How can this game be dedicated to this kind of!? ”
"What is this? Play games, just play games, who cares who the Holy Emperor of the Human Empire is!? ”
“”
The space echoed with the wails and screams of the adventurers, but neither of them could hear each other.
Only a handful of adventurers didn't react much when they heard the chise.
"Is it finally over? The second act, which is only 30 minutes long, feels as long as 30 years, and the author is really long-lasting. Lei Ruoya, who had handed in the papers early and walked out of the examination room, raised her eyebrows after hearing the sound of the system.
"Miss Ruoya, there are too many slots in your sentence." Xu Ke, who was standing opposite Lei Ruoya, seemed to be a little speechless.
"There's no way to do it, I'll be able to see the end of the second act in my lifetime, even if I'm as strong as I feel a little excited," Lei Ruoya didn't care about Xu Ke's complaints, but said with a fluttering eyebrow, "This feeling is like waiting for G to be fattened 3 or DOTA to have a new hero." ”
"Okay, let's get down to business," Lei Ruoya raised her hand at the right time to stop Xu Ke's complaining, and said to the other party, "There is still one last point left about the content of this game, and I will finish talking about it before the group of waste firewood that has not figured out the exam subjects has come out." ”
"I know that although I have explained a lot of things before, although I think I have made it very clear, but Mr. Xu Ke, you must still not understand the purpose of my behavior as a high-end player, after all, there are too many things in my behavior that ordinary players like you can't understand."
"I don't explain my behavior first, this is an operation that only people who pursue perfect evaluations will do, now I talk too much and the climax comes too fast, in terms of your skills Teacher Xu Ke, it must be uncontrollable, I'll talk about it first"
Lei Ruoya paused slightly when she said this, and slightly accentuated her tone: "For you ordinary players, this game is the right way to open. ”
Although Lei Ruoya's words still contained a lot of slots, in view of the fact that the tone of the other party's speech at this time sounded really serious, Xu Ke resisted the urge to complain, and said seriously: "Miss Ruoya, please speak, listen to me." ”
"First of all, let's sort out the process that our adventurers go through in this game," Lei Ruoya said to Xu Ke slowly, "We adventurers should all wake up from the darkness, similar to the current space, and then came to Belial City by mistake in the aimless wandering, of course, there are a few cities similar to Belial City nearby, but we came here." When we arrived in Belial, we met the guide, who told us the basic premise of the game, and then guided us to activate the so-called 'system', which led us to get a general understanding of this magical world. ”
Xu Ke nodded and expressed his basic agreement with the process expounded by Lei Ruoya.
"So far, everything is normal, we adventurers seem to be playing a simple RPG online game, we came to a magical continent, saw the world under the novice tutorial, and decided to start our own journey of fighting monsters and upgrading strong equipment under the guidance of the guide's sentence 'become stronger'."
"But in fact, from here, Marvel Games has begun to guide us step by step to the main story."
"Miss Ruoya, what do you mean by that?" Xu Ke was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked with a frown.
Lei Ruoya sighed inexplicably, looked at Xu Ke, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious: "Because in fact, we have been reminded from the beginning of the game when we entered this town. ”
"Teacher Xu Ke, do you think that the birthplace of Belial City as a novice adventurer seems to be too big."
"Miss Ruoya, what you said is indeed something," Xu Ke thought for a moment and replied, "Belial City has a special geographical location, it is located at the junction of several major races, dragons and snakes are mixed, and the aborigines of the major races often come and go here - and according to the division of the continental power realm, there are many strong people among them. ”
Xu Ke frowned deeply when he said this: "Although I haven't played many games, I also know something about the game, for most of them, the initial birthplace of a novice rookie will be a relatively remote town or village, and the interpersonal relationship is simple and weak, because this is more conducive to the step-by-step development of the world view and setting, and it will not pave too many things at once and make the player extremely uncomfortable." Then, through the progress of the game's plot and the triggering of necessary events, players gradually understand the entire world view. ”
"Teacher Xu Ke, you know a lot, it is true that the situation like you said is the norm in the game, but it is not normal for players to be born in a more complicated place like Belial City like Miracle Games," Lei Ruoya then explained, "Coming up, we were exposed to all races, and learned a lot of reasonable or unreasonable settings, and the whole huge world view simply unfolded in front of us abruptly, without foreshadowing and the necessary event triggering, it was like cramming." ”
"But in fact, there is also a deep meaning in this."
"What does that mean?"
"We are born in a complex environment, and in order to survive in this complex environment, we will naturally learn more about the world - we will naturally understand that there are many irrationalities about the world. Or in other words - in a normal game, would you come up and pay attention to what the game's world is? ”
Xu Ke hadn't thought much about it before, but after hearing this sentence and thinking for a while
But his eyes suddenly widened!
If it's true that the players were all born in a township with very simple relationship settings.
Maybe he really won't pay too much attention to the setting of the game, and he will really learn that this continent is a legalized continent very late, and the major races of this continent are at peace with each other.
Because at the beginning of the game, the question that most players considered should not be what the worldview of the game is.
It's about how exactly this game should be played.
It is precisely because of the complexity of the place of birth that players will naturally pay attention to the worldview of the game and the basic setting of the game.
"And, Teacher Xu Ke, have you noticed?"
"The guide has said that several of the starting towns are near this location."
