Lin Musen lost his job.

He just graduated from college for less than a year, and finally found a job, the salary is okay, and the work is not too tiring.

And because of this, this position is coveted by many. Finally on this day, the department manager caught a small mistake on his part, ruthlessly swept him out of the house, and arranged for his brother-in-law to come over to replace him.

So Lin Musen, who was still full of the enthusiasm and impulse of college students, didn't say anything, packed up his things and left the company. Of course, before leaving, he filled the computer of the company he used with all kinds of viruses and Trojans.

With the computer technology of the people in the company, it may take a lot of time to restore the original function of the computer.

With a slight sigh, Lin Musen returned to the house he rented. Finally unemployed...... What to do in the future?

He did have some money in his hand, but after all, he was sitting on a mountain of empty food. Going home to his parents was a good idea, but his self-esteem didn't allow him to make such a choice.

When I first graduated, I said that I was full of confidence, and I would definitely be able to support myself, but now I have run back in less than a year, and I still have the face to raise my head?

So Lin Musen was full of resentment, and when he was bored, he called his roommate to complain.

"Hahaha, wood, look at the opening point, who hasn't been fired once or twice? You've lasted long enough...... Anyway, you're not at the end of your rope yet, so you can look for a job! ”

Lin Musen's best friend Liu Kaile in college laughed heartily after listening to Lin Musen tell what happened to him.

"You also know what happened to me back then, I just went to work for three months, I was fired just after the probation period, and I almost went to sleep on the road! If it weren't for the help of a few of you, I might have to go home and beg the old man!" Look at me, there's nothing else you can't think of! ”

I have to say that Liu Kaile's appearance did make Lin Musen feel a lot brighter...... As the fable says, I used to cry because I couldn't afford shoes, until I saw people without feet on the road.

"I know you, a squirrel! If you have nothing to do, you know how to save money...... Even if you don't work now, you can be fine in a few months, right? It just so happens that there is a game open beta recently, do you want to take some time to play together? If you're lucky, you might even be able to make money in the game, and you won't have to be angry with those damn bosses and managers again! ”

Playing games? Lin Musen's curiosity was immediately aroused. What male college student didn't play games in school? Lin Musen is a good player in online games, and the main force among the four brothers in the dormitory. However, after work, he had to give up this hobby due to his increasingly busy work.

And now, he has a chance to pick up the hobby again.

"Fun, this game is worth playing? You must know that ordinary games can't get into our eyes. ”

Liu Kaile laughed out loud after listening to Lin Musen's words: "Don't doubt it! The 'Starfield' game is not worth looking forward to? The retired planet deduces the brain 'Weaver Girl' still needs to find suspicion? The background of Oriental Xianxia is absolutely wonderful! ”

Liu Kaile's words made Lin Musen gasp. The "Starry Sky" company is already a world-class large-scale game company, and the power of the "Weaver Girl" intelligent brain used to deduce the immigrant star environment is incomparable to the servers of other game companies. The energy of this "starry sky" company is too big, and even this kind of national strategic-level intelligent brain can be obtained? Although it is retired, it is a national-level thing after all, and there is no strong background, how can this kind of intelligent brain be used as a game server?

Lin Musen felt that his enthusiasm for the game, which had gradually faded, was burning again.

"Damn, I'm fed up with those bastard leaders! Regardless of whether you can make money or not, play for a while before you talk! The old rule, develop yourself first, and then converge when the time comes, right? ”

Lin Musen and Liu Kaile glanced at each other through the display screen, and laughed at the same time.

Since he decided to play the game, Lin Musen naturally wanted to understand the game. Landing on the game's homepage, Lin Musen found that the game's information was surprisingly small.

The Oriental Xianxia-style game "Edgeworth", the game background unfolds from a virtual Shenzhou continent. The Extraterritorial Heavenly Demons coveted the rich resources and heaven and earth aura of the Shenzhou Continent, trying to break through the Shenzhou Barrier and conquer the Shenzhou Continent. And the monks on the Shenzhou Continent gathered all their strength, regardless of immortals and demons, to work together to fight against the extraterritorial heavenly demons......

The premise is quite ordinary, but with the strength of the "Starry Sky" company, it will not make a mediocre game. Coupled with the powerful deduction ability of the brain, it should be a huge and exciting world to welcome players.

After carefully reading the scarce information taken out of the official website a few times, Lin Musen finally has a little understanding of this game. The next thing we are waiting for is the start of the open beta.

Two days later, when the open beta began, Lin Musen set everything up in his rental house and made sure that there would be no accidents, he turned on the computer, put on his helmet, and found a comfortable position to lie down.

There was a sudden darkness in front of him, and after a few seconds of slight dizziness, Lin Musen saw the opening animation of the game called "Edgeworth".

Needless to say, the opening animation is beautiful. Whether it is the mountains, rivers, trees, flowers and plants in the background, or the fairy goddesses and beasts flying in the sky, all of them are the culmination of virtual reality technology, and it looks like a real scene. And the battle between the two immortals wearing gorgeous clothes and flying swords in mid-air is even more sound and light effects, which makes people fascinated to watch.

After the opening animation, a beautiful woman in palace clothes flew in from a distance and landed in front of Lin Musen.

"Hello, honorable monk, welcome to the world of Edgeworth. Now, please build your character and choose a suitable name for it. If you need anything else, select Help. ”

Naturally, a help service is something like a mentoring for newcomers. Lin Musen, who had been trained by countless games in college and had done some homework beforehand, naturally didn't need it. So after establishing a male character with a good image and naming it "Pine and Cypress Sycamore", he quickly entered the game.

Regarding this name, Lin Musen is also a little particular. When Lin Musen was born, his parents, who were keen on metaphysics, found a master of metaphysics who was said to be quite famous to name their son. According to the master of metaphysics, this child is destined to lack wood, and naming him with wooden characters will bring him good luck. So his name, which was so wooden, was determined.

Lin Musen didn't know if such a name brought him good luck, but the nickname "Wood" never left him since he was a child...... So much so that he chose a name in online games, and he thought it was one of his characteristics.

After a short introduction to the game, Lin Musen's characters finally appeared in the novice village.

Naturally, the novice village is full of people, and although there are an unknown number of novice villages set up throughout Edgeworth, the huge number of players still makes every novice village overcrowded.

What is the first thing to do when you arrive at the Newbie Village? Naturally, it's leveling.

"Brush the golden-crowned rooster outside the village! Fourth-class one, efficiency team! ”

"Brush the green-haired earth dog team! Twice as much experience as Golden-crowned! Two more and it's full! ”

"Team up to explore the hillside ...... outside the village"

All sorts of team shouts rang out at the entrance of the village, and most of the players gathered there. Looking through the sparse fence wall, the open space outside the entrance of the village is also crowded with people......

, how to level up in this situation? Lin Musen looked at the surging crowd and was dumbfounded

The popularity of the game is beyond his imagination, and it seems that it is definitely not a good choice to go out and grab monsters now.

So go on a mission, shall we?

As a result, he found that the task was not so easy to do.

There are dozens of NPCs in the Starter Village, and now each NPC is entangled by several players. According to Starfield, most NPCs have tasks on them, and the key depends on whether you can find the keywords or key actions that trigger the mission. Anyway, taking on tasks is also a technical job now, and it is not something that can be received casually without brains.

Squeezing around NPCs is a technical job, and going out to kill monsters is a hard job...... But taking on the task is a job that depends half on skill and half on luck, compared with the two, Lin Musen still wisely grabbed a wooden sword given by the newcomer and walked towards the entrance of the village.

…………

An hour later, Lin Musen ran back panting and raged. It was too hard to snatch experience from those novice players, and it took him an hour to gain less than three hundred experience points...... And to move from level 1 to level 2, the amount of experience required is 500 points.

Normally, five hundred experience points are not difficult to obtain, and a golden-crowned rooster has twenty points of experience. But the current situation is that as soon as a monster is brushed out, it will be hit by several wooden swords at the same time and turn into white light and fly away, and it will only be a few points on everyone...... This is still assigned in teams.

I don't know what it was affected by, but now players are adhering to a belief - the first day of the game is the most critical first day! If you want to be a strong player, you can't lose at the starting line!

So the vast majority of players formed teams to go out to farm monsters when they were hopeless to take on the task.

Those low-level monsters at the door can't be brushed.,Let's group a few powerful people to brush the more powerful monsters together.,There won't be so many people?

So, now the NPCs in the village are idle.

It's not accurate to say it's free, after all, there are still some players who try to talk to NPCs in twos and threes to take on tasks. But it's clear that this innovation about the mission of "Edgeworth" has left most people scratching their heads, and few people have received the task. And even if there are people who receive tasks, they will cherish themselves under the legendary sense of competition, and they will definitely not take the initiative to say how to take the task, especially at this critical moment.

The bored Lin Musen looked around, but he saw something strange.

The Novice Village is a small village with all kinds of functional NPCs, such as weapons dealers and grocers. And among the huts everywhere, there are still a few children playing.

In this kind of game, most of these children belong to the background characters, and they are basically just taken to watch. But now, Lin Musen saw a child holding a kite and crying.

Such an obviously anomalous NPC won't be overlooked, right? Lin Musen thought as he leaned over.

"Little brother, why are you crying? Is it because this kite is broken? ”

Looking at the appearance of this little boy, Lin Musen estimated that the key words were probably "crying" or "kite" and the like. Sure enough, the little boy sobbed and spoke.

"My kite...... Woo...... Broken ......"

Lin Musen looked down and saw that the paper of the kite-pasted had broken a big hole, and the bracket made of bamboo had broken in a few places.

"Don't cry, I'll try to fix your ......"

Repairing the kite is not a technical job, Lin Musen found a few thin bamboos on the side, ran to the grocery store and bought white paper and paste with the copper plate that came with him when he was born, and repaired the kite in three strokes and five divided by two.

"Hee...... The kite is good! Thank you big brother! ”

The little boy burst into tears and laughed, took the repaired kite and ran away.

That's it? No rewards? No follow-up tasks?

Lin Musen looked at the little boy who ran away in amazement, crying in his heart for the copper plate he had spent.

You must know that each person is born with only a hundred copper plates, and the white paper and paste sold by the grocer cost him twenty. It took one-fifth of the fortune to help the little boy repair the kite, and there was no reward at all?

No wonder the gang didn't scramble around the little boy to help him repair the kite, it turned out that there was only effort and no return......

With a sigh, Lin Musen stood up. If you don't pay back, you don't pay back, this game is so real, even if it makes the little boy smile again, the twenty copper plates are worth it.

Then, casually turning around, he saw a little girl of seven or eight years old squatting on the side and sobbing......

What to do? Give it up?

Forget it, save people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west!

Lin Musen bent down again: "Little sister, why are you crying, is this Huarong Dao untied?" ”

That's right, this little girl is holding a pair of gorgeous faces in her hands......

Although Huarong Dao looks simple, it is not easy to play well. The little girl had obviously messed up a few generals, but poor Cao Cao was still stuck by Guan Yu.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, brother will help you get ......"

So it took more than ten minutes for Lin Musen to save Cao Cao from Guan Yu's big knife and escape smoothly to the exit below.

Since he was a child, Lin Musen has been particularly interested in this kind of puzzle game or manual work. Naturally, this kind of popular game has been studied by him countless times.

The little girl also burst into tears and laughed, grabbed Huarong Dao and ran away. Although Lin Musen didn't spend money this time, he still didn't get any benefits.

With a long sigh, Lin Musen was just about to take a step away, when his eyes turned, another crying child appeared in front of him.

I said, what is this going on?

Lin Musen looked at the child and gritted his teeth sharply.

Forget it, you can't kill the monster now anyway, so let's play some puzzle games in online games!

So, next, he met all kinds of children who were troubled by the toys at hand. What kind of broken bamboo dragonfly, Zhuge lock that can't be opened, nine links that are messed up, and a Rubik's cube that doesn't match......

Hey, how can there be a Rubik's Cube in a game with the background of ancient immortals in the East? Didn't Westerners invent this thing?

Obviously, the intelligent brain "Weaver Girl" will not give Lin Musen the answer to this question. And Lin Musen is also like a demon, when he sees a crying child, he leans over, and then with his rich experience and dexterous hands that have been exercised by hand, he repairs the broken toys and unravels all the educational toys that can't be opened......

Before I knew it, more than two hours had passed. The hundred copper plates on Lin Musen's body were all spent, and he didn't know how many children's toys had been repaired, and I didn't know how many things like tangram puzzles had been untied. In short, when he looked up, he could no longer see any children around him.

Waking up from an excited to trance emotion, Lin Musen couldn't help but shake his groggy head. It's strange that when I just looked at this village, there weren't so many children at all!

Suddenly, in front of Lin Musen, an old man appeared.

The old man's clothes looked very modest, but a closer look reveals something extraordinary. Not to mention the cleanliness and tidiness, the material is not an ordinary material, and it seems to reveal a faint luster.

"Boy, you're good! Helpful, without asking for anything in return, and a pair of clever hands, just in line with the old man's intentions! How about it, are you interested in worshipping the old man and joining the Momen? ”
