Chapter 5: Fireballs
The game has been tweaked and modified to a large extent, and the official progress is announced every day. On the first day, the cute little monsters in the practice area have been corrected, and the hateful boars, wild wolves and other beasts have been completely banned from cats, rabbits and dogs.
Day 2......
Day 3......
Players are waiting to watch, although the last public beta is only half a day, but everyone has experienced the unprecedented feeling brought by holographic games, and this time the anticipation has come more fiercely before. Gu Fei is no exception, the first thing he does when he gets home every day is to go to the webpage to pay attention to the progress of the game's modifications. Finally there is a place to release his kung fu, Gu Fei has often woken up with a smile in his dreams recently.
Because there are so many adjustments to be made, this wait is only a month. The plan proposed by Xiao Wu has been approved, but if you want to improve all of these, the workload will be greater, so the game company decided to gradually add these in future updates, and the game will start to operate again.
On this day, Gu Fei happened to have a class, so he went home immediately after class and entered the game with great expectations. He hadn't been in such an anxious mood for a long time.
When he went offline, he was still on the mountain in the wilderness outside the city, but at this time he was sent back to his place of birth: the Mage Academy. Do you want to start over? Gu Fei looked at his level, it hadn't changed, it was still level 6. The coins I had picked up that day were also in my money bag, and I still had the two rusty meat knives stuck in my waist.
Looking around, I saw that the mages had gathered in front of an NPC again, and there was a long queue. After Gu Fei confirmed that the guy was not selling glasses and brooms, he also lined up curiously.
"What are you doing?" Gu Fei asked.
"Learn the skills!" The person in front of the queue glanced back at Gu Fei.
Originally, in order to allow players to have the ability to protect themselves as soon as possible, this revision deliberately lowered the level requirements for learning skills. You get your first skill for free at birth, and then you can learn the next skill for your class every six levels. So now the newborn players in the mage academy have more work to do in addition to buying glasses and brooms.
The team flowed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Gu Fei had already arrived in front of him, talking to the NPC, and Gu Fei, the first skill of the mage, had already learned. Nothing new, the Fireball Technique, it seems, is always the first technique a mage can master. However, at this time, Gu Fei was already level six, and in addition to the nascent fireball technique, he could also learn a second skill: resisting the fire ring. If the fireball technique is the main offensive skill of the junior mage, then this resistance fire ring is the main skill of the early junior mages to protect themselves from the weak.
However, as a holographic game, the use of spells has some peculiarities.
I saw that in the center of the wide square of the Mage Academy, thousands of people gathered together and shouted in unison: "Fireball!" ”
A fireball immediately ignited in front of everyone, floating in the air, which was very spectacular. All the mages were overjoyed, but Gu Fei noticed that the person beside him was pale and seemed to be frightened.
"Shoot!" I don't know who took the lead in shouting, everyone immediately shouted, and the sound of "shooting, shooting" came and went. It's just that the Mage Academy is an absolute safe zone, and it is forbidden to use combat skills such as spells here. Although the command to "shoot" was given, the fireball did not move. However, the face of the guy next to him turned even paler, and Gu Fei couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"!" This person scolded first, and casually added Gu Fei's friend: "Look at my name." ”
System Hint: Fireballs add you as a friend.
Gu Fei immediately laughed, it turned out that this person's name was Fireball, no wonder, thousands of people shouting in unison would make him feel terrified.
At this time, people kept learning the first spell, so people kept shouting fireballs in the middle of the square. The fireball beside Gu Fei couldn't bear it anymore, and he greeted Gu Fei and prepared to leave.
"Hehe, I'll go too, it's noisy." Gu Fei followed him.
The two of them left the Mage Academy together and walked towards the leveling area outside Cloud City. On the way, Fireball complained to Gu Fei, it turned out that when he got this account from someone else, his name and profession had already been chosen. Gu Fei suddenly had a feeling of sympathy for the same fate, but the fireball didn't care about these at first, and only had some slight words about this name after experiencing the scene where thousands of people shouted together just now. Think about it in the future, in a battle with a mage, whether it is friend or foe, shouting "fireball", it will obviously be a distraction for your attention! At present, it can only be expected that the lowest-level spell "Fireball" will be forgotten in the later stage.
Gu Fei also inevitably had to exchange his feelings with the fireball, and somewhat confided in his tragic experience of being forced to use a mage. Fireball didn't understand Gu Fei's internal reasons, and only thought that he didn't like the mage profession very much, so he gushed about the glorious history of mages.
Anyway, Gu Fei has a good impression of fireballs. Because he is one of the few mages who does not wear black-rimmed glasses and carries a broom.
The two chatted while walking, and in a blink of an eye they were already outside the city.
The game's first modification has already paid off, at this time the city is full of wild wolves and wild boars, and learned from the past, these mobs are hateful, belonging to the type that wants to be flattened at first sight, which greatly encourages the player's enthusiasm for upgrading. The mountains outside the city were full of people, chasing wild wolves and wild boars, slashing and killing. It's a pity that the strength of these wild wolves and wild boars is completely disproportionate to their image, and under the crazy suppression of players, they can only offer a meager fight back. For a while, monsters were in short supply, and as soon as one was refreshed, more than a dozen players immediately surrounded it.
The fireball was boiling with blood, took two steps forward, and shouted: "Fireball! ”
A fireball rises in front of it.
"Shoot!" The fireball roared.
And so the fireball shot out.
There was a "pounce" sound, and the fireball was in front of a wild boar ravaged by the players. The sparks were flying, with the smell of barbecue, and the wild boar hit the street.
"Beautiful!" The fireball clenched into fists, applauding the accuracy of his first shot. But at this time, all the players who were still besieging the wild boar just now had already turned their heads to look at the fireball. That look was clearly looking at a creature that was even more hateful than a wild boar.
"Hello everyone!" The fireball waved at the crowd.
"Grab the monster! No quality! The fireball greeted the other party's scolding.
"Huh? Aren't you all fighting casually? The fireball was dazed, obviously it was cut by more than a dozen people, how could he rob the monster as soon as he made a move. Isn't it true that whoever kills is whom?
"Are you blind and can't see that we are a guild?" One yelled.
"Guilds?" The fireball glanced at Gu Fei blankly, and Gu Fei was also dazed. The game has just started, and no one has the ability to establish a guild!
A group of people nodded their heads in unison, and one of them shouted: "The monster who robbed us of the Anti-Heaven Guild, you don't want to be confused?" ”
There must not be a guild with a name more against the sky than this guild, but in the face of a group of fierce anti-heavens, the fireball did not show the slightest fear. This made Gu Fei a little surprised. I saw the fireball staring directly at everyone, and said calmly: "What's wrong with robbing monsters?" What can you do with me? I'm only level 1! ”
Gu Fei smiled. No wonder this guy is so righteous and awe-inspiring! Since he pays attention to the official website every day, Gu Fei also knows about this modification. It was in response to the violence that I had experienced last time. The player protected by PK will be an invalid target for the skill, and even if it hits, there is no corresponding pain or the like. This change also classifies the player's own attack methods into the PK category. This means that at this time, if the fight like last time happened again, Gu Fei would not be able to blind the other party's eyes, and even if he hit, it would not hurt. At this time, the fireball is relying on protection, turning a blind eye to the many powerful players in front of it.
But the player who dares to name himself as a player who defends the sky, after all, still has the spirit of defying the sky. Seeing that the fireball was relying on his first-level dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, he was not discouraged at all, and rushed up.
"What are you doing? I'm level 1! Level 1! Level 1!!! In the repeated shouting of the fireball, he was grabbed by all four limbs and lifted into the air, and one of them drank a snort: "Hang to the tree over there." Immediately vetoed: "Just throw it in the river over there!" ”
Whether falling into the river will be protected by PK, the official website does not say. The fireball was in a hurry, struggling desperately. But don't say he's a mage now, he's just a warrior, and there's no chance in this situation. The fireball was held high to the sky like an ancient tribe offering to the great gods. Condescendingly, he looked around, and when he saw Gu Fei, he immediately shouted: "Oh, who is that, save me!" ”
Gu Fei nodded, rushed up quickly, walked around to the people, and stopped everyone: "Everyone, if you have something to say, let the people go first." ”
"Who are you! Go aside! Everyone glanced at Gu Fei and didn't pay attention to him at all. The game has only been open for a day in total, and no matter how professional a player is, it is impossible to reach the level of being one enemy, not to mention that this guy is just a mage.
"He's my friend, put me down!" The fireball continued to scream.
"Friends? Then throw it into the river together! With a wave of one person's arm, several people rushed up towards Gu Fei.
Gu Fei was stunned, not only did the fireball belong to PK protection, but this group of people who were still grabbing the lowest-level mobs outside the city gate obviously couldn't pass level 10. There is no pain in fighting under the protection of PK, and if you really want to be close to this group of people, you will definitely be forcibly held, and you can't get out. Gu Fei hurriedly took the initiative to take a step forward, jumped up with his feet on the ground, turned sideways, reversed, and drew an arc with his left foot and his whole body from right to left.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! Three times in a row, the three guys who rushed to the front were swept down by Gu Fei's volley.
The three sat side by side on the floor, looking at each other at a loss. It doesn't hurt, but the sense of touch is still there. It feels like being gently swept in the face, but the power is too great to resist. This terrifying supernatural event caused by the system is more terrifying than pain, and the three guys are stupid and dare not move.
The others saw it more clearly than the three parties, and Gu Fei's clean volley made everyone scratch their heads.
"What kind of skill is this?" The crowd questioned each other.
"Do you know how to do this?" Someone asked the mage in the accomplice.
"No, how can there be such a trick?"
"I don't have either!" The players of all classes included in the group flipped through their skill panels, and none of them found skills like "Roundhouse Kick" and "Whirlwind Leg".
"What kind of profession is this guy?" The crowd began to disbelieve the mage robe in front of them. Holographic games, equipment is not limited by professions, and it is also very reasonable and reasonable to wear a mage robe to hide the truth.
"Hidden profession?" Someone started yy.
Everyone looked at Gu Fei directly, and the fireball that was held up in the sky didn't see this kick, they only felt that the surroundings had become so quiet, and the guys carrying themselves had become statues, holding him up in the air steadily.
"What are you doing! Put me down! The fireball roared.
This voice made the people who had lost their minds excited, and they relaxed their hands without thinking about it. The fireball was in free fall, flat on the ground. He hurried up and scolded, "Damn!" ”
Gu Fei ignored everyone, walked into the crowd in a few steps, pulled up the fireball and left.
A group of people looked at each other, but no one dared to stop them.
