Chapter 22: The Hoarse Alley
At four o'clock in the afternoon, at the gate of Lingyou City.
Compared to the densely populated Polk Town, the number of players in Lingyou City is significantly smaller, even less than one-twentieth of Polk Town.
Originally, according to Ye Yichen's common sense and experience, he first returned to Pok Town from the Red Forest, intending to find a teleportation scroll or teleportation point that most online games have.
But when he walked to the center of the city, he was speechless to find that there was really a teleportation point in this Pok town, but it was surrounded by wooden boards, and several NPCs dressed as engineers were banging around it, and there was a sign of the boss next to it, which read: Under repair.
"Fix your face."
This is a sentence that suddenly popped up after Ye Yichen turned his head.
At that time, he looked at his friend list, there are a total of five friends he has added at present, one shabby single book is not there, Sanshui Ruxin's state is busy, and the burial head is displayed as online, as for the two who added his friends later, the Dharma God who didn't see Nanfeng and was in a daze was also offline.
He had no other choice, so he directly opened the dialogue window with the burial head and asked him how to get to Lingyou City.
The burial head was stunned by his question, and then asked him: "What are you asking for?" ”
After getting Ye Yichen's answer, his voice was distorted: "You want to change jobs?" ”
"In two hours, you went up from level eight to level 1~Ben~Read~ the eleventh level of the novel YBDU...... God, are you GM? After ending the frenzy and disbelief that lasted for thirty seconds, he said to Ye Yichen: "At the east gate of Boke Town, there is an NPC guard there, you can buy a map to Pok Town, or you wait at the east gate, occasionally there will be caravans going to Lingyou City, just follow along." ”
Quickly thanked him, Ye Yichen directly ignored the funeral chief's half-said sentence, "What do you think of our guild?" He hung up the call decisively, went to the east gate, bought a map, and concentrated on running.
In half an hour, Ye Yichen ran out of his stamina value three times, and even he had the condition of "sweating", and when his stamina value dropped to freezing, he also found that he had symptoms such as shortness of breath, weakness, and accelerated heart rate.
This situation shocked him in particular.
In the past holographic online games, let alone running, if you are idle, you can go rock climbing, bungee jumping, running marathons, no matter what you do, this will never happen, but now, he will even have the illusion that he is in reality, because all kinds of physical sensations are too real.
And in the process of these three breaks, in addition to studying the functions in those systems, Ye Yichen went to browse the forums of the barren era.
He also found a post by anonymous poster that went viral and called: "n funny ways to get into the game." ”
At the top of the list is a picture of a figure being thrown out of the post office gate.
Ahem, who is this person, Ye Yichen said that he didn't know.
Lingyou City and Pok Town are two completely different scales, if Pok Town is a larger town, then Lingyou City is a real behemoth, the terrifying city wall is fifty or sixty meters high, and the city wall made of white stone is carved with a large number of intricate patterns, extending from the root of the wall to the top.
The architectural style in Lingyou City is a bit peculiar, with an obvious Western medieval style, but it also has the window lattice cornices of ancient Eastern buildings, which has a sense of beauty of time and space.
After discovering Lingyou City, Ye Yichen gained 130 level experience points and 80 sub-class experience points, which made his sub-class "Postman" directly upgrade to level 3.
Unlike other online games, the "career mentor" in the barren era does not seem to be served by a fixed NPC, that is, as long as it is a real NPC professional, it can help players complete the task of changing jobs, as for the process and outcome, it ultimately depends on the player's own processing and choice.
"Are you there?" After asking players and NPCs many times and declaring failure, Ye Yichen reluctantly found the name of Sanshui Nina from the friend list and started a chat.
It took about five minutes for him to receive a "? As a reply.
"Where are the NPCs of the assassination department generally located?" , Ye Yichen asked.
"Guess."
Ye Yichen looked at this message and fell silent.
For some reason, he suddenly wanted to quit the game, took out his knife and ran to the next room, sending his temporary landlord to heaven.
"I'll forget to cook your meal tonight." , Ye Yichen silently entered this sentence into the chat box and sent it out, then stood up and walked slowly along the street.
This time, in less than three seconds, his chat box vibrate, and at first glance, it was a voice call invitation.
Su Miao's voice came from the dialog box: "When did you see it?" ”
"Guess." , Ye Yichen said: "Sanshui is Miao, of course, it may also be a coincidence, so I will try it casually, anyway, it doesn't cost money to try." ”
After being silent for a few seconds, Su Miao seemed to have decided to give up and continue to talk about this topic with Ye Yichen, so as not to be angry, and said instead: "Are you going to change jobs now?" Is it assassination? ”
After getting Ye Yichen's affirmative answer, Su Miao continued: "Most of the NPCs in the assassination department like to hide, and the location is not easy to find, I spent a silver coin to buy the coordinates from someone else. ”
Ye Yichen understood at once, and asked directly, "What do you need?" ”
"Do you have any extra equipment or materials, our studio will accept them."
Ye Yichen didn't even have the heart to bargain, opened the mail panel, spent 10 copper handling fees, packed ten red copper rings and ten fire element blades and sent them over, and after a while, he saw Su Miao send a coordinate.
"Backstreets, hoarse alleys."
The backstreet is still easy to ask, and it took Ye Yichen ten minutes to find the location, but he couldn't find it in the hoarse alley.
The location of the backstreet is located at the edge of Lingyou City, similar to the existence of the black market and the black street, few players haunt, and after coming in for ten minutes, he only saw two hurried thief players passing by, and the rest were all NPCs with mysterious whereabouts.
After continuously questioning NPCs to no avail, Ye Yichen temporarily stopped and began to observe his surroundings.
After his observation, there should be three kinds of things in this street at most, the homeless, the wine bottle, and the alley.
If he just looked at both sides of the street, Ye Yichen could already see countless alley entrances, almost one entrance between three or four houses.
After turning around twice, Ye Yichen's eyes suddenly lit up, just more than twenty meters away, there was a tall house, although it was not as good as the buildings in the center of the city, but in this backstreet block, it was definitely standing out.
Looking at the brick and stone buildings with a medieval style, Ye Yichen suddenly laughed, a long time ago, someone commented that the assassins acted in disregard of the terrain, and they only walked in a straight line.
In the modern city, the assassins had to compromise with the reinforced concrete forest, however, in this retro game, Ye Yichen naturally planned to climb the building and climb the wall when he met the wall.
"Balancer skill, on."
The limbs of his body became more coordinated, and Ye Yichen felt as if his nerves were extending to every cell of him, and at the same time, his stamina value slowly fell down according to the percentage.
A quick run, when he jumped high, his hands were already on a protruding piece of masonry, and then his hands exerted force again, and his body rushed up like a monkey to the boss again, and happened to grasp the window of a window that was already five or six meters above the ground.
Under the gaze of several NPCs, it took Ye Yichen less than ten seconds to climb the three-story building in a daze, and then he began to condescendingly observe the terrain around him.
When he stood on a high place, he was surprised to find that all the small roads and roads in this backstreet block had finally formed the outline of a human head, the two shops selling herbs were eyes, and the rows of houses outlined its nose, this path was the trachea, and the other next to it was the esophagus!
The structural diagram of this human body extends to the chest below, and Ye Yichen preliminarily judged that his location should be in the middle and lower part of his throat, close to the largest street as the "cervical vertebrae".
"Hoarse alley ......", Ye Yichen pondered carefully: "Hoarse, is it the throat?" ”
Thinking about it, he immediately pulled out his postman's map, meticulously engraved the terrain, and marked the throat area.
Three minutes later, he finally arrived at the destination of his trip.
Pushing open a wooden door hidden in the shadows, the noise and smell of alcohol inside immediately came out.
"Hey, hey! And lo and behold! I said, this little guy has a lot of potential, and now it took less than twenty minutes to find us, come on, give money! Seeing Ye Yichen come in, in the middle of the bar, a one-eyed man immediately laughed, and the circle of NPCs around him scolded stupidly, and then took out more or less coins and threw them into his arms.
"Come here, newcomer!"
After collecting the money, the one-eyed man immediately greeted Ye Yichen and asked him to come over.
Ye Yichen noticed that this group of NPCs seemed to have a level, but in his own opinion, they were all a string of question marks, and the one in front of him was no exception, his name was One-Eyed Shadow - Cui Lang, and he was actually an NPC with a title.
"We've been paying attention to you for a long time, and you're doing a good job, which is a quality that a Shadowwalker should have!"
He patted Ye Yichen's shoulder and praised it, not caring at all that the other party would be angry because of the prying eyes of himself and others.
After a few words, he leaned to the side and reached out to tap the table next to him, and the counter immediately cracked in it and slid open to both sides, and a metal disc slowly rose in the middle.
"Put your hands on it, it's time to test your potential!"
As Cui Lang's voice fell, a system prompt also appeared in Ye Yichen's brain: "Occupation Characteristics Confirmation: Follow specific steps to choose your main profession and determine your career characteristics." Good luck. ”
Seeing this information, Ye Yichen no longer had any hesitation, took a step forward, stretched out his hand and pressed it directly in the middle of the disc, and in the next second, in the center of the disc, a pattern shining with purple light gradually emerged.
