……
Noon.
Lu Ming sat at the desk, looking at the helmet in front of him with a somewhat confused gaze, the helmet was silver-gray, and the shadows reflected a little light, and the familiar feeling made Lu Ming tremble a little.
This is the Skyrim virtual helmet, which is used to connect the nerves of the user's brain, and it is the only device to enter the Skyrim Continent, and at this time, it has been five months since Lu Ming last used it, and that was when Lu Ming's brain had a nervous breakdown to the limit.
Since then, Lu Ming has been unable to enter the sky, and can only watch the Assassin Brotherhood fall apart, but he can't stop it, and the painful mood of his previous life is about to spread again, but Lu Ming suddenly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed all the chaotic emotions that suddenly surged up.
A moment later.
Lu Ming slowly put the helmet on, stretched out his hand and groped on it, until he found the familiar button in that position, and gently pressed it.
The next second.
The world in front of Lu Ming gradually fell into darkness and silence, and three seconds later, a glow-like glow gradually lit up, and a majestic historical picture scroll emerged from the darkness and spread out in front of Lu Ming's eyes.
In the painting, the vast ocean and a continent each account for half.
Among them, the sea is the endless sea, and the continent is the sky continent.
The Skyrim Continent is boundless, and in the area that has been explored, there are four major human empires: Lothar, Carlando, Taros, and Salmo.
The Ortetok Alliance, which is composed of different races such as elves, orcs, dwarves, and undead, is an alliance of kingdoms.
and the Nine Free City-States, which represent neutral forces, are not bound by alliances and empires, and have no absolute rulers, each of which occupies one-third of the territory of the Skyrim Continent.
Lu Ming's main scope of activity in his previous life was in the Northern Lothar Empire, but as the head of the Skyrim Overlord Guild and recognized as the number one assassin in the Skyrim, his footprints have already traveled to the four major human empires, the Ortetok Alliance, and the nine free city-states, and even extraterrestrial lands.
And Lu Ming is in the Eastern Carlando Empire.
Lu Ming stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the east side of the scroll.
Suddenly, Lu Ming's eyes turned stars, and the territory of the Kalandor Empire continued to enlarge in Lu Ming's eyes, and many provinces, cities, and territories exuded a bright and dazzling light.
Horizon.
Three seconds later, the sky shattered into a flood of starlight, scattering down, outlining a six-pointed star array on the ground, and gradually, seven people with weapons and different costumes appeared.
They represent the seven basic classes of Skyrim, Mage, Cleric, Priest, Warrior, Knight, Ranger, and Assassin.
"Retrieved that the player character has been deleted, please select a new class."
"Assassin."
Lu Ming's choice, there is no doubt about it.
In his previous life, Lu Ming, as the first batch of players in Skyrim and the leader of the assassin profession, crossed the river completely by feeling the stones, took many detours, and made many mistakes, but in the end he still reached the peak of the assassin profession, it is conceivable that he knows this profession deeply.
After being reborn, it is naturally impossible for him to abandon his strengths and choose his weaknesses.
"Ask the player to name the character."
Hearing the sound of the system prompt, Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and memories came to his mind, in his previous life, his character name was a blockbuster, taken from Han Feizi Yu Lao, although there is no flight, flying will soar to the sky, although there is no sound, the sound will be amazing.
Names are good names, but that's in the past.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ming had an idea.
"It's not good."
In his previous life, Lu Ming made friends carelessly, mistakenly believed in traitors, and was eventually victimized by him, and he had injustice in his heart.
In this world, he will do it for himself—
Mingbu Ping!
"The name is successful, the player character has been retrieved, and he has been active in the Carlando Empire, the gray and white collars, the Hanging Moon City, and the Snow Eagle Fortress, please ask if it was born here."
"Yes."
It stands to reason that after the deletion and retraining, Lu Ming can be born from other empires, and there is no need to choose the Snow Eagle Fortress, after all, this is the sphere of influence of the Eagle's Nest Studio, once they find out, Lu Ming will be sniped by them, hindering his growth, but Lu Ming did it, because in this life, he not only has to complain about himself, but also for Lu Ming.
It must be known that a large part of the reason for Lu Ming's death is because of the Eagle's Nest Studio's step-by-step pressing, but Lu Ming is not an unreasonable person who is law-free, although Lu Ming was forced to die by them, he will not let the people of the Eagle's Nest Studio pay for their lives with their lives.
However, why was the black and white counterparts destroyed, but the eagle's nest was still intact.
A cold color flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
In addition to facing difficulties and helping Lu Ming take revenge, there is another important reason why Lu Ming was unswervingly born in the Snow Eagle Fortress, that is, Lu Ming's three roommates, Xiong Fangyuan, Cai Dingkun, and Huang Jinfeng.
The three of them are also high-level black and white peers, although the studio has been disbanded, and the members are scattered, but the connection between these three people and Lu Ming is inseparable, after all, they eat and sleep together every day, and from Lu Ming's memory, he also learned that the relationship between the four is extraordinary.
No matter how badly Lu Ming fell, the three of them would not give up on Lu Ming.
For the deep friendship of the four people, Lu Ming is naturally envious, at the moment, he inherited Lu Ming's identity, and also got the friendship and trust of the three, as long as they live up to him, Lu Ming will not abandon them.
You must know that as Lu Ming's best friends, Huang Jinfeng, Xiong Fangyuan and Cai Dingkun have also been blocked by the Eagle's Nest Studio to varying degrees, and they are in a difficult situation.
This has also become Lu Ming's responsibility.
Infinite thoughts rose in his heart, but the reality was only for a moment, and after the naming was successful, Lu Ming's eyes were suddenly shrouded in darkness.
Snow Eagle Fortress.
Located in the east of Hanging Moon City, this fortress is one of the three largest fortresses in the gray and white-collar area.
All of a sudden.
A holy white light fell from the sky, like a meteorite crashing down the street, causing the surrounding players to turn their heads in disbelief, and the white light dissipated in an instant, revealing a figure dressed in the leather armor of an Assassin's apprentice, squinting at eyes that were slightly uncomfortable from the bright light.
"This, is this a newcomer who has just registered a role?"
"It's for sure, but newcomers don't go to the 'novice village' assigned by the system, why do they come to the Snow Eagle Fortress, this Snow Eagle Fortress, where is the place where novices can come."
"Maybe it's to delete the number and rehearse, I have friends here."
The surrounding players, when they saw this person's appearance, were stunned and then suddenly, and couldn't help but talk about it.
Obviously, the novice in everyone's mouth is Lu Ming, his eyes began to look at the surrounding scene after a short period of adaptation, as expected, everything seemed very strange, except for the lively crowd around him that made him a little excited, after a long absence.
For the novice who suddenly appeared, everyone was only slightly surprised and didn't pay much attention to it, but in the crowd, the eyes of a few people were colored, and they struggled to squeeze through the crowd, came to Lu Ming's side, and spoke to him who had just come back to his senses.
"Little brother, you just met us when you arrived at the Snow Eagle Fortress, and you were lucky, you must also know that novice players don't have skills, I happen to have a few assassin killing and stealth mastery skill books here, how about it, it's okay to sell it to you cheaper."
"Yes, little brother, if you were born in another small place, how could you have a skill book to buy as soon as you came."
Lu Ming looked at the few people in front of him with a bright smile on their faces, and couldn't help but smile softly, these people in front of him seemed to want to try their luck, in case they were really novices, they could make a fortune casually.
You must know that this time is different from the past, when Lu Ming first entered the sky, except for an apprentice suit with no attributes and no bonuses, but he was penniless, and within a month of the service, the currency unit in the inventory has always been copper coins.
But now, because the first few batches of players in Skyrim are generally over 100 levels, the system has an initial capital of five gold coins for novice players to help them grow as soon as possible.
Five gold coins, no more and no less, are enough to make people think carefully.
In addition, every novice who enters Skyrim has an apprentice suit and no skills, so the first priority of all novice strategies on the market is to use the initial capital to buy skills, and the few people in front of them can be regarded as grasping the needs of customers and promoting them.
Lu Ming casually glanced at the skill book in the hands of several people, it was indeed a good choice for ordinary novices, but Lu Ming was not without purpose, crashing headlong into the sky, in fact, after he learned of his financial pressure and the crisis of the blockade of the Eagle's Nest Studio, some plans and ideas came to mind, but before that, learning some skills was indeed the first priority.
Skills are the most important component of a player's strength, and without skills, players will not be able to move an inch, and immediately Lu Ming couldn't care about the sales of a few people, so he squeezed them away and poured into the crowd.
After a while, Lu Ming came to the trading market of the Snow Eagle Fortress, the market was located near the western entrance of the fortress, and the two sides of the road were full of players setting up stalls, among which there were some rare assassin skill books, but Lu Ming was not interested in those skill books, and he couldn't afford them.
Next, Lu Ming first walked around the market, and then walked straight to an area dedicated to selling assassin skill books, along the way he was also looking at the other items placed around, he didn't use the eyes of his previous life to look at these things that were once worthless in his eyes, because for him now, most of these things are very good and practical, but unfortunately most of them he can't afford to buy.
Lu Ming walked through dozens of stalls, and finally stopped in front of a young man stall about his age.
"How do you sell this skill book?"
Lu Ming bent down and picked up a somewhat blackened leather book from the stall, with two big red characters engraved on the cover, bleeding.
Seeing Lu Ming pick up the inconspicuous skill book, the young man sitting in the back glanced at him in surprise, because under normal circumstances, few assassin players would be interested in this low-level thing, but after he saw Lu Ming's outfit, he immediately understood, and immediately smiled, "Novice? ”
Lu Ming was noncommittal.
"There are six specializations in the assassin profession, killing, stealth, poison, death, reconnaissance, and keenness, generally speaking, in the early stage of the assassin profession, they all rely on the elusive spirit of stealth specialization, or the powerful attack of killing specialization, and you choose death specialization as soon as you come up, which is a bit inappropriate."
The young man who set up the stall seems to be a good old man.
"The continuous damage of bleeding, the effect is really good, but the success rate is only ten percent, and it generally needs to cooperate with the weakness of the reconnaissance specialization, detection, or the cutting and blade of the killing specialization, in order to improve the success rate, I advise you to change the skill book."
"No, just this one."
Lu Ming shook his head.
"It's just a first-order low-level garbage skill, if you insist on it, just take three gold coins."
The young man waved his hand absentmindedly.
"You're really treating me as a newcomer."
Lu Ming showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
No treacherous business, the young man in front of him seems to be a good man, but in fact, he just wants to sell some other high-value skill books on his stall, and squeeze Lu Ming's initial capital dry, and at the same time, he is also in the process of sales, testing Lu Ming, if Lu Ming is really a novice, he can make a lot of money by selling the bleeding at a high price, but it is obvious that Lu Ming is not a newcomer.
"Fifty silver coins, sell it, if you don't sell it, I'll take a look."
Lu Ming stood up.
The young man suddenly smiled, as the most low-level existence in the first-order skills, not to mention the three golds, fifty silver coins are considered high, Lu Ming's tone and attitude are obviously unwilling to entangle with him because of a few silver coins, and deliberately higher than the market price.
After being exposed to the conspiracy, the young man was not ashamed or annoyed, and handed the skill book to Lu Ming with a smile, and accepted fifty silver coins.
Lu Ming did not read the skill book carefully after getting it like other novices, but under the gaze of the young man, he directly turned the skill book from beginning to end, and finally closed it suddenly, rubbing it very much, and suddenly the leather skill book turned into a glow, and all of it poured into Lu Ming's body.
"System: You learn the skill 'Bleed'."
"System: You have comprehended the Death Mastery."
After learning to bleed, Lu Ming didn't check the skill description, and a piece of information automatically appeared in his mind.
Bleed, Death Specialization Active Skill, after use, has a 10% chance to make the target bleed, no consumption, and a cooldown of one minute.
Characteristics, short cooling, low consumption, weak effect.
In his previous life, Lu Ming was the number one assassin in the sky, and in the skill column, he naturally did not have such a garbage skill, but in the early days of his growth, bleeding brought him a lot of advantages.
This made Lu Ming feel a little emotional.
Although bleeding is only the lowest level skill of the first order, it is a good choice for Lu Ming now, with another skill in his plan, acting as a vital link in his initial layout.
Fifty silver coins, you can make a profit without losing money.
Thinking of another skill, Lu Ming pinched his chin in place and pondered for a moment, and then began to wander around the market again.
He began to go deeper into the market, and the deeper he went, the higher the value of the items traded.
His gaze quickly swept over the stall on the ground, looking for the skill book he needed, and when his gaze swept in front of an ordinary stall, and was about to move away, it suddenly froze, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he walked over and picked up a skill book.
"Boss, how do you sell this skill book?"
The owner of this stall was a warrior player, who was originally closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, but when he heard the words, he opened his eyes, and when he saw Lu Ming for the first time, he first frowned, and then showed a look of surprise, hesitated slightly, and asked, "You are bright on a moonlit night." ”
Moon Night Ming is the name of Lu Ming's game, and the player in front of him seems to know him.
"It's me."
The game character of the Skyrim Continent is exactly the same as the character in reality, since the other party recognized him, it was useless to deny it, so Lu Ming simply admitted it generously.
After being confirmed, the warrior player's eyes immediately lit up.
"Didn't you just be killed by the people of the Eagle's Nest to level zero, this is a deletion and retraining, I didn't expect you to dare to use the Snow Eagle Fortress as a living point."
"You are?"
Lu Ming asked.
"I'm from Northern Lights Studios."
The Warrior player burst out laughing.
"Although you are dead, the Eagle's Nest Studio's ban on you is still there, you are now level zero, I can't kill you, but telling your whereabouts to the Eagle's Nest Studio can also make a fortune in vain, it's really pie in the sky, hahaha."
The Warrior player made no secret of his mocking look.
Previously, Lu Ming was the boss of his black and white peers, and his status was extremely high, and the boss of the Northern Lights had to be polite to him, and it was even more difficult for warrior players to match him, but now that the black and white peer studio was disbanded, Lu Ming also deleted the number and retrained the level to zero.
fell into the well for the people who were once high, but it made the hearts of warrior players rise up with infinite pleasure.
Lu Ming's face suddenly sank.
The boss of the Northern Lights Studio, named Beicheng, is a pure businessman player who has a 'very good personal relationship' with Lu Ming before his death, but when Lu Ming competed with the Eagle's Nest Studio, he was deeply involved in the mud, and had to go bankrupt and sell his reality and game assets, but he tore off the mask of hypocrisy and revealed his true face.
The memory picture of that time is vivid.
"Beicheng, I'm in a hurry to sell a batch of equipment materials, you can help me estimate the price."
For a long time, Lu Ming has been trading fairly with Beicheng and cooperating for a long time, and when he wants to sell his property when he encounters danger, he is naturally the first thing that comes to mind.
"Moonlit night, I took a look, this batch of equipment and materials, I will give you a maximum of two million gold coins."
North Shing Road.
"Two million? How can this batch of equipment and materials be worth two million, Beicheng, will you miscalculate, usually this batch of equipment materials, even if you don't lose the auction house, is worth at least more than three million, Beicheng We are old friends, don't cheat me. ”
Lu Ming was anxious.
"My brother still settles accounts, now it's different from the past, I'm a businessman, you don't think that I'm really stupid enough to make money."
Beicheng made no secret of his greed, his previous friendship with Lu Ming was just a snake for him, but now after tearing his face, he naturally showed an ugly and indifferent face.
"You!"
Lu Ming was furious.
"If you don't want to sell it to me, then you go and sell it to others, I want to see if anyone will take your goods and sell them to other cities within the scope of Hanging Moon City, do you have that time now?"
Beicheng smiled contemptuously.
There are the three major forces of Beicheng, the Eagle's Nest, and the Dingfeng Guild behind the Eagle's Nest teaming up to blockade it, wanting to sell it to others for a high price, Lu Ming is wishful thinking.
"I won't sell it to you if I sell it to a dog!"
Lu Ming was so angry that he turned around and left.
But Beicheng showed a smile that the conspiracy had succeeded.
Soon after, Lu Ming found a new seller, Caiyuan Studio, the purchase price of the studio was lower than that of Beicheng, but Lu Ming could only sell it to him, and only he dared to accept Lu Ming's goods under the pressure of the three major forces.
But in the end, it didn't help.
When everything settled, Beicheng took the initiative to find Lu Ming and told him a secret.
In fact.
Caiyuan Studio is just an empty shell, and the boss is his Beicheng, his former friend not only cheated him for all his property, but also turned over and became his creditor, but Lu Ming has no available evidence to confirm Beicheng's despicable behavior, expose his hypocrisy to the majority of players, and make him ruined.
At this time, Lu Ming realized that he had been calculated by Beicheng early in the morning, and it was precisely because of this that Lu Ming started the assassination plan in a fit of anger, and finally couldn't sleep after failing.
It can be said that Beicheng and Eagle's Nest Studios used despicable means to acquire Lu Ming's property at a low price, which was one of the main reasons for the demise of the black and white peers.
Speaking of which, Lu Ming and Lu Ming's experiences are really similar, they were both betrayed by their friends, so the fall of the warrior player made his face gloomy, but soon Lu Ming's mood calmed down.
"Oh, who are you going to tell, that's your business, I'm going to buy your stuff now, whatever, do you sell it or not."
Lu Ming said.
"Sell? Why not sell, hahaha. ”
The warrior player didn't expect Lu Ming to be ridiculed by him like this, and he had to buy his things, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, laughed, but he was thinking in his heart, there must be something in his stall, which is very important to Lu Ming, otherwise Lu Ming will definitely not swallow his anger, since this is the case, he must let Lu Ming bleed profusely.
"This is the skill book."
Lu Ming raised the book in his hand.
"Flying blades?"
The warrior player looked at it and was slightly disappointed, the flying blade was just a basic skill for killing specialization, the value was not high, and there were also stalls nearby, he couldn't understand why Lu Ming had to buy it from him, for Lu Ming's behavior of being slapped on the left cheek, but he smiled and handed the right cheek over to fan him, but he felt a little bored, and couldn't help but say with some interest, "Sanjin, if you want it, if you don't want it, just get out." ”
The market price of the flying blade is one gold and fifty silver, and the warrior player offers three gold, which is very high, but Lu Ming said without hesitation, "Okay, I'll buy it." ”
"Huh?"
Lu Ming's simplicity made the warrior players have more eyes.
"No, I've changed the price, hardware, if you want it, don't pull it down."
Warrior players know that every novice player has an initial capital for hardware, and no matter how much Lu Ming wants, he doesn't have to.
"I only have four golds and fifty silvers."
Lu Ming still didn't bargain.
"Okay, then here you go."
The warrior player was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation.
He really couldn't understand why Lu Ming had to spend all the initial funds to buy a flying blade skill book from him, he couldn't do it at all, but the money sent to the door was not earned in vain, so the warrior player simply sold it to Lu Ming.
At this time, some nearby stall owners and players were also attracted by the transaction of the two, many of them had never seen Lu Ming, but the name had been heard, and they couldn't help but be curious about Lu Ming's behavior, and at the same time a little embarrassed.
It's really impermanent.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Ming, who had completed the transaction, slowly took out a piece of flint and steel from his backpack and lit the flying blade skill book.
The moment the black mist disappeared, the Flying Blade Skill Book immediately changed its appearance.
"This ......"
"Shadow camouflage?"
The crowd of onlookers all looked surprised when they saw this.
The Warrior player also sat up abruptly, his face a little ugly.
Shadow camouflage is a skill specialized in the shadow of the priest and knight profession, and its main ability is to use camouflage to achieve the effect of sealing.
"The blood is flowing."
A well-informed player recognized the skill book in Lu Ming's hand that had lost his disguise, and was immediately amazed.
"The blood of the death specialization is like an infusion, one of the most expensive first-order advanced skills, worth more than 100 gold, this warrior has lost a lot of money......"
The players looked sympathetically at the warrior player.
At this time, the warrior player could no longer sit still and stand up, with an even more uncomfortable expression on his face, and he was even more annoyed in his heart.
In the sky, although there are not many skill books sealed by the shadow camouflage, it is not extremely rare, and his identification skills are not low, but because his monster farming area often bursts with flying blades, so after recognizing it with his eyesight, he is too lazy to identify, so there is such a big mistake.
It's just that he can't figure it out, and everyone present can't understand it, Lu Ming is obviously just a zero-level player, and he doesn't have identification and detection skills, how can he see through the shadow camouflage at a glance.
But no matter what, things have already happened in public, if the blood is sold to someone else cheaply, it will be nothing, but it is Lu Ming, Lu Ming, who is incompatible with the boss of the Northern Lights.
After Beicheng found out, it was strange that he was not angry.
Immediately, the warrior player's face turned pale, as if he was mourning, and the players who witnessed the whole thing also laughed gloatingly.
"But don't be too happy, I've told the Eagle's Nest about you, I want to see if I'm miserable or you're worse."
Warrior players have a grudge in their hearts.
