"Connector Connected ......"

"Connection integrity review ......"

"Review complete."

"Welcome to our product, the physical scan has started, please wait for ......"

"The scan has been completed, and the ID number of the citizen of country Z is confirmed: ZHONG510****77, name: Zhou Han; Access equipment: XC91669 new standard single-person game cabin, no abnormal external hardware was detected; Physical condition: healthy, no history of disease; The neural connector is ready, please select the access type. The access type is not sleep mode, and the ...... is being adjusted. After the adjustment, the program starts, and the game is loaded in ten seconds......"

After listening to the countdown, Zhou Han quickly entered the world of the game. He was in the middle of a European-style palace, with a huge white ball of light floating in the air in front of him, and a rectangular fitting mirror below.

Zhou Han examined his image through the mirror, and at this moment he became a 3D CG character with ultra-high pixels. The outfit on his body changed to white with long sleeves and long pants, nothing special. The height and appearance are almost the same as what I look like in reality, and if you don't look closely, it's hard to see that this is just a three-dimensional CG character.

Zhou Han tried to control his character's activities: "No wonder "Xingchen" dares to play the ** explosive advertisement of 'let you experience the feeling of crossing', which throws off the rhythm of the latest somatosensory game Nine Streets!" ”

With the support of Centron International's light brain wave imaging technology, which goes beyond the somatosensory experience, players in neural connection games can get a real-life experience of the five senses, but the game screen is still limited to CG images, and cannot allow players to load into an environment similar to that of a live-action shooting effect. But even so, it has already made players who are in contact with "Stars" for the first time have a feeling of time travel.

"Welcome to the world of Stellar, please choose whether or not to watch the Stellar World background promotional animation?"

The system prompt sounded in his ears again, and a projection of an optional icon appeared next to Zhou Han.

"Forget it, your promotional animation has been broadcast eight million times on major websites and TV stations, and I can almost memorize it!" Zhou Han complained while tapping the "no" option on the screen with his finger. As he said, as early as six months ago, when "Star" entered the closed beta stage, major websites and TV stations launched promotions about "Star", and CG animation about the background of the world of "Star" can be seen everywhere.

To put it simply, it is that a spatial crack suddenly appeared on the Star Continent, which was originally "harmonious and peaceful", and the long-disappeared demon race reappeared on the continent through the spatial crack, whether it was the "Radiant" Alliance of the surface world or the "Dark" Alliance of the underground world were affected by the demon invasion, and hundreds of towns were destroyed overnight, and the "Radiant" Alliance and the "Dark" Alliance joined forces again to resist the invasion of demons.

And the "role" played by the player is the "brave" sent by the alliance of the two sides to find the source of the spatial rift.

"Players must be at least 16 years old to access this game, and the Company does not recommend users with heart or mental illness, or a history of related medical conditions."

With the prompt, three icons appeared on the projection on the right side of Zhou Han, one is "Confirm", the other is "Cancel", and there is a very eye-catching link option next to it"Relevant Disclaimer".

"Mental illness...... Zhou Han said to himself, "I shouldn't count it." ”

With a click of "Confirm", two images were projected from the light sphere in front of you.

"Please choose a side - 'Radiant Alliance'/'Dark Alliance'."

The two alliances are not like the factions in other games that fight to the death, after all, one lives on the surface and the other lives underground, and there is not much contact. And according to the video reported during the closed beta, the "Dark" Alliance is not like the wild races living in the underworld in other games, they have magnificent underground palaces and cities that are not inferior to the "Radiant" Alliance in the surface world, and they are more obsessed with technology and dark magic than the "Radiant" Alliance.

Players who have paid attention to the closed beta are more inclined to "Dark", firstly, because the underground world has a dense number of monster farming points, and many monster races belong to groups, which can save a lot of time for players who like to farm "AOE" in groups. The second and most important reason is that there are dozens of races to choose from in the Star World, each with a different race talent, while the "dark" race talent is more inclined to "PVP", that is, the battle between players.

For example, the dark "Night Spirit", the racial talent is "Shadow Escape", which can escape into any shadow for 30 seconds. Or the "Will of the Dead" of the "Undead", which can be immune to a mind control skill. Radiant racial talents have a huge improvement over Darkness, and they are more inclined to "PVE", which is the influence and promotion of NPCs. For example, the "Humans", the most numerous race in the surface world, have the racial talent "Diplomacy and Mastery", increase their friendship/reputation to NPCs by 10%, and increase their skill proficiency rate by 10%. Or "Elf", the racial talent "Children of the Forest", under the influence of forest terrain, can get a 5% evasion bonus.

Zhou Han didn't think about it so much, he chose "brilliance".

As for race, he randomly clicked on a "random" choice.

In the end, I chose "human".

He didn't care about that.

"Please choose a profession."

At the same time as the sound of the system sounded, twelve different classes appeared in the projection in front of the ball of light.

"Is there a profession where you don't have to fight monsters yourself?" Zhou Han is too lazy to read the job introduction, the intelligent brain system of "Xingchen" International is the most advanced artificial intelligence in the world, not to mention asking these basic questions to it, even if you gag with it, many talkative people may not be able to talk about Xingchen's intelligent brain system.

"Summoning is a profession. Profession with summoning ability, Elemental Mage, currently 12 career selection rate of 37.13%, Summoner, current 12 career selection rate of 15.16%, Demon Hunter, current 12 career selection rate of 14.52%, Demon Warlock, current 12 career selection rate of 6.13%, Breeder, current 12 career selection rate of 0.419%" When other players ask career-related questions, the brain system directly displays the current selection rate of 12 professions in the projection in front of Zhou Han, It can be regarded as a reference to help players choose a class.

Occupations with a high selection rate naturally have certain advantages in front of everyone, otherwise it is impossible for most people to choose, but in the same way, occupations with a high selection rate face the biggest problem is the competition for skill books and equipment.

"Why is the selection rate of breeders so low?" Zhou Han is a little strange, it stands to reason that such a popular game as "Stars" cannot be a disgusting garbage profession, but this selection rate is too low? However, if he had regularly followed the professional reports of "The Star", I am afraid that there would be no such doubts......

"Forget it, if the number of people is small, at least the equipment is cheap, and we like to go off the beaten path."

"Selected."

With the sound of the system prompt and a ray of light, the long-sleeved clothes and pants on Zhou Han's body turned into a white mage robe.

"Please give the character a name."

Zhou Han lowered his head and muttered: "You have to take a name for pulling the wind." ”

"I have to take a name for the wind and confirm that there are no duplicates, do you want to confirm it?"

"Is this all right?" Zhou Han was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhi Brain to take his words to himself as a name, alas, forget it, I didn't bother to think about it, Zhou Han simply clicked on "confirm".

In this way, the breeder with the name of "I have to take a name for the wind" was born.

"Please select a place of birth......

The projection has changed to two options: "Oran" and "Eze".

Zhou Han casually ordered Orlan again.

As a ray of light descended from above the palace, Zhou Han's surroundings changed again, and as the environment became clear, Zhou Han found himself already standing in the middle of a village.

The whole village, empty.

"I'll it! Is this the star? Is this a newbie village? Zhou Han glanced left and right, except for a few NPCs walking in front of the system store, the entire novice village was empty, and there were no other players except Zhou Han.

"This is the 'scenic spot' that is known as the 'scenic spot' that crowded the major novice villages on the day of the opening of the server? Explode your sister, this empty space is enough to roll ten times on the ground, right? ”

It's only been 8 hours since the public beta of "Xingchen" opened at 12 noon, and according to the live report on the game website, 3 of the 4 novice villages in the Star Continent have indeed been crowded, and even have to open the novice village 01, the novice village 02...... Even the situation of the novice village 998, but only except for the Oran novice village.

First of all, outside the Orlan Novice Village is the Oran Prairie, where there are only level 3 steppe shadow wolves except for some sparse level 1 slimes. For newcomers, it is already very painful to find a level 1 slime on the endless savannah, and if you are accidentally attacked by a shadow wolf who likes to live in groups and can sneak up on the way to level up, you will lose 50% of your experience once you die, which can only be replenished by killing 10 slimes. Secondly, to get from the Oran Novice Village to the city closest to the Oran Prairie, at the beginning of the game without mounts, even the elemental mages who can "flash" will have to take at least 4 or 5 days to play. Under normal circumstances, it takes 4,5 days to practice at least level 10, but if you want to kill level 3 monsters to level 10, I'm afraid it's unlikely that 10 days will be possible.

During the internal test, many players also raised the unreasonableness of Orlan Newbie Village to Xingchen International, but they didn't expect Xingchen International to send the players away with only one sentence of "This is a normal setting, dear". Therefore, under the admonition of 90% of the beta players, the newcomers have chosen other novice villages, even if there are more than 3,5 players to grab a monster, the experience allocated is better than walking for 10 minutes and not finding a slime, not to mention that other novice villages are full of people and can also open other numbered servers for diversion, so most players are unwilling to touch the "nail" of Orlan Novice Village.

However, there are also a small number of players who choose Orlan Novice Village, but at the beginning of the game, everyone was busy leveling up, either taking the task out of the village, or they have already started to look for slimes all over the grassland, so it is not surprising that there is not a single player in the village.

"Forget it, so be it." Zhou Han didn't bother to think about it, he looked at the back of his left hand, which was printed with more than a dozen patterns the size of a fingernail, "role", "backpack", "skill book", etc., he pressed the character and backpack, and there were two more screen projections on his left and right sides, one side was the character information bar, and the other side was the backpack.

Looking at his basic state, Zhou Han suddenly felt a little dizzy, although he was at most a casual player among casual players, but he was not a novice, and he also had a certain understanding of the game. Let's not talk about the newbie equipment, but at least give a weapon, right?

Looking at the empty state of the weapon bar, Zhou Han was also helpless.

"Is this the rhythm of the Seven Wounds Fist?" Zhou Han smiled bitterly, and looked at the "only item" in the backpack display, a card. When his hand touches the card projected in the inventory, the card disappears from his backpack and appears in his hand.

[Contract Beast Capture Card (Silver): Sign a contract with the target monster and become your summon. Conditions: The target monster's HP is less than 10%, the level is no more than 10, and it is not a unique creature. Note: This is the welfare of the rookie breeder, don't 998, don't 98, take it away for free, pro, take it well, whether it is catching cats and dogs, it is much better than the general fishing net! Oh, by the way, this item does not enjoy a 7-day refund! 】

Zhou Han read the rather spoofed remarks with a dark face, and sighed that it is really worthy of being the parent company of a cat on the largest online shopping platform, and the wording of this advertisement is completely carved out of a mold!

"Forget it, let's level up first!"

After wandering around the village and taking on two tasks to find medicinal herbs, Zhou Han left the village.

On the endless prairie, the sun sprinkled on his body made Zhou Han feel a warm feeling, which is the latest type of neural connection of the brain system, simulating the corresponding environmental feeling in the player's consciousness, so the player can feel the warmth when exposed to the sun in the game, or jump into the pool to feel the coolness, these feelings are all simulated, relatively real, but only relatively real, and there is still a certain difference from reality.

After walking for more than ten minutes, there was a sparse sound in the grass not far away.

A basketball-sized "water droplet" suddenly jumped out in front of Zhou Han's eyes, blue and faint, and swaying like water, and the three blisters in the "water droplet" formed two big "eyes" and "smile" "mouths".

"This is a slime?"

Zhou Han squatted down and looked at the monster in front of him curiously.

This is the first time to get close to the "monster" in the game, and the experience of virtual games is indeed incomparable to somatosensory games. Zhou Han was still sighing, and suddenly-

Poof—

In the blister of the slime's "mouth", a ball of blue liquid suddenly spewed out, which confused Zhou Han's face.

"Holy!"
