Chapter 1: The First Coming
There was a desperate darkness in his perception, and Weiko was running around in the darkness at a loss.
"Where is this? Why am I here? ”
Like a drowning man, Weike desperately wants to grab a thing that can escape from this darkness.
Suddenly, Weike's feet were empty, and his whole body fell towards the faintly visible dark red abyss.
"Ahh
Sweating profusely, Wei Ke woke up suddenly, gasping for air in his mouth.
"It turned out to be a nightmare......"
Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Wei Ke thought with palpitations: "But this dream is too real!" Maybe it's because I've been working all night for the past few days and I'm feeling a little weak......"
"Pro gamer? Sounds good! But who knows how hard this job can be? Wei Ke smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm not too young at this age, although I have saved a sum of money, but my body can't bear it, it's time to quit this business." ”
Wei Ke secretly made up his mind as he raised his hand, ready to turn on the superbrain specially configured for the game and start a new day's work. But his hand had just been raised, but it froze again.
The strange scene in front of Wei Ke's eyes hit him like a thunderbolt from the sky, making him stunned.
The familiar room, the big desk, and the silver-white superbrain are all gone! What Weike saw was a dilapidated house, and he was sitting on a simple wooden bed made of boards and stones.
"Where is this? Am I still dreaming? ”
Wei Ke subconsciously pinched his thigh, but the sharp pain reminded him that this was not a dream......
After scanning his surroundings a few times in a daze, Wei Ke finally came back to his senses.
One rolled over, and a flustered Weike fell directly from the bed to the cold ground.
Ignoring the pain coming from his body, Wei Ke walked quickly to the door, pushed it open, and walked out.
It was early in the morning, and the sky was bright.
By the light, Weike looked around quickly. It was a dark alley, flanked by low, old houses, and the muddy and waterlogged road was empty and there was no human figure.
Unconsciously sweeping over a puddle on the ground, Weiko noticed that his appearance had also changed dramatically. Although it was still the same ordinary face, his body had shrunk a lot, and his pupils had turned into a mysterious and elegant dark purple.
The pale-faced Wei Ke retreated back to the house in despair, not even closing the door.
By this time, no matter how sluggish Wei Ke was, he realized that something incredible must have happened to him.
"Crossing!"
These two words suddenly flashed in Wei Ke's mind, and only this statement could explain a thing.
"Little Vic, why did you wake up so early today? Are you cured? ”
Just when Wei Ke's heart was in turmoil, a cheerful and deep voice came in from the door.
"Huh? I ......"
Wei Ke was stunned for a moment, and just as he was quickly pondering the words in his heart, a tall figure appeared at the door of the room.
"Okay, okay, don't squeak! It's just a sickness, what's so embarrassing? ”
The person who came had short brown hair and a big square face, and was obviously of the Nordic race. Dressed in a linen short robe, he said to Wei Ke familiarly: "Well, although his face is a little white, his complexion is still good!" Little one, since you have recovered from your illness, let's go to the port area with Uncle Leo and see if there are any suitable short-term jobs! As a man, you can't do it without money, you'll be hungry......"
Under the chatter of this so-called Uncle Leo, Wei Ke followed him out of the door again in a daze.
In an unfamiliar environment, Wei Ke cautiously did not say a word, and his appearance was not surprised that Uncle Leo regarded him as a sign of a serious illness.
Along the way, Uncle Leo chattered non-stop, giving Weike a preliminary understanding of his environment.
This is a port city called Carter, which contains six areas: the city lord's mansion, the noble district, the old city, the port area, the trade area, and the temple area. Weico's residence is in the old town adjacent to the port area, which is a slum with a very poor environment. As for the port area where Wei Ke and Leo went, it was a place where gangsters were rampant and disorderly.
"Carter City?"
Wei Ke had a thoughtful expression on his face, a name he seemed to have heard somewhere.
But the question is, he has just crossed into this strange world, how can he feel familiar with a name he has just learned? Could it be the memory of the original owner of this body?
Shaking his head slightly, Wei Ke did not continue to explore this question, because he had already followed Uncle Leo to the port area.
"Little Vic, from here on, you must follow me!"
Uncle Leo changed his relaxed expression and said sternly: "This ghost place is not as good as the old city, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't provoke anyone!" Otherwise, the consequences are not something you and I can afford......"
Wei Ke nodded, his pale face full of the words "I listen to you".
Seeing Wei Ke's honest and obedient appearance, Leo breathed a sigh of relief, and then led him straight to a dock where large ships were docked.
"You two! Hey, just say you, stop me! ”
As Wei Ke and the others approached the dock, a thin man with a sharp crotch reached out and stopped them.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”
The thin man drank arrogantly at Leo, and Weiko didn't pay attention to him at all.
"This big brother, we are residents of the old city, and we came here to see if there are suitable short-term jobs, and I ask this boss to be accommodating......"
Uncle Leo nodded and explained, while taking out a dozen copper coins and gently placing them in the thin man's hand.
"Oh, that's right!"
The thin man looked the two of them up and down, put the copper coin into his waist, and said domineeringly: "Count you lucky!" Lord Hill's merchant ship had just docked and needed to be manned to carry the goods......"
After a slight pause, the thin man warned, "Work hard!" Don't get me in trouble! ”
"This big brother, you can rest assured! We're all honest people, and we know the rules......"
Before Leo could finish speaking, the thin man waved his hand impatiently, "Go over, go over!" I don't have time to listen to your nagging here......"
"Okay, let's go! Thank you for the boss......"
As he spoke, Leo pulled Weicco's arm and quickly walked past the thin man.
Soon, Weike and the others were on the dock. At this time, there were already many people who were also carrying goods next to the large merchant ships, all dressed in coarse linen clothes.
"Little Vic, do you see! If it's a little bit in the evening, the two of us won't be able to catch up with this job. Uncle Leo rubbed his hands excitedly, "You know, there is 1 copper coin for moving a box of goods, and we only need to move dozens of boxes, and we will make a lot of money......
"Your illness is just right, take your time and don't go on a business trip!"
Uncle Leo repeatedly advised: "Don't fall over the container, don't bump into others, don't talk too much......"
Although Uncle Leo has some chatter, his caring heart is genuine, which makes Weike, who is not familiar with life, feel a little warm.
"Got it, Uncle Leo! I listen to you and thank you for taking care of me......"
Leo grinned and said boldly: "Thank you! I watched you grow up, who else can I take care of if I don't take care of you? Let's go, we need to hurry up and get to work! ”
Following the crowd, Wei Ke and Leo followed the ladder to board the merchant ship and entered the cabin full of goods.
Without saying a word, the two of them picked up the cargo box and walked towards the dock.
To Weike's surprise, his weak-looking body had a lot of strength! Carrying a heavy cargo box on his shoulders is not as difficult as he imagined.
Time flies.
After seventeen or eighteen repeated shipments, Uncle Leo's forehead was already sweating slightly, but Wei Ke was still very relaxed. After noticing this situation, he consciously adjusted his expression, pretending to be out of breath like everyone else.
"How? Little Vic, can you still hold on to this body? Uncle Leo had a worried expression, "I didn't expect the weight of the goods to be so large this time......
"I'm fine!" Wei Ke gasped and replied, "I just have to move a few less containers." ”
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Leo pondered for a moment and said categorically: "That's it, move two more times!" Let's earn 40 copper coins and go home, I always feel like something is wrong here......"
Of course, Weiko would not object to Leo's decision, because he had vaguely guessed what the goods he was carrying were based on his experience in the game.
"I didn't expect that the experience of playing games in my previous life would still be useful in this life......"
Weike muttered, still lamenting what had happened to him.
At this moment, a bright light suddenly flashed in Wei Ke's mind, and it seemed that some familiar things had overlapped with him.
"Carter City...... Port...... Lord Hill...... Merchant vessel...... Game?? ”
Memories of his past life flashed through Wei Ke's mind, and several unrelated names were linked together by him.
"This ...... Could it be ...... Am I in the world of the game? ”
Wei Ke finally connected the information in his memory, and he could confirm that the world he was in was set in the most popular game of the previous life, The Scepter of Truth.
Wei Ke, who was carrying the cargo box, couldn't help but stop, and a bright light flashed in his eyes: "It turns out that this is the ...... of the Walsted Continent"
