Chapter 1: Beginners
"Hmph, I haven't played for so long, maybe I'll die at level twenty or thirties......" Xia Chiyu pouted, and after drinking a saliva to moisten his throat, he put on a somatosensory helmet and said, "Then let's start." â
After pressing the start button, a slight paralyzing sensation caused by an electric current spreads from the top of the head, and the scene in front of you turns into countless green 1s and zeros, and begins to form a new scene. A small village of blue skies and white clouds, groves, green lawns, and simple thatched huts, neutral monsters such as slimes and wild boars can be seen looming nearby.
Of course, there are plenty of other new players. AO's planet continent is exactly the same as the continent version of the real earth, and the spawn point is determined according to the player's IP, so all the players in the novice village are Chinese players.
He looked around, and the novice village had not changed as before, except for some ruined and dilapidated huts, and the NPC was only the village chief, with a golden exclamation mark floating above his head, indicating that there was a mission.
In the upper right corner of the field of vision, there are always options for the game menu, and if you reach out and click on it, you can bring up the menu options in front of you, that is, packages, personal information, skill bars, and so on.
At this time, the astral teleportation point in the village suddenly flashed with a faint purple light, and then a pretty girl appeared from it. Although her hair turned dark blue, her appearance was still the same, so Xia Chiyu recognized this as Lin Qianxue at a glance.
Lin Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, because of the addition of friends, the names of the two were not displayed in white like other players, but in light blue, and both of them noticed each other at a glance.
"Ahh Eat fish. Lin Qianxue greeted him, this game is real, the dialogue will not be displayed in the form of subtitles, but directly conveyed in sound, and everyone around her has looked at her. However, this is Lin Qianxue's non-real-name trumpet, so it didn't attract the attention of others. Her tuba is also well-known in AO.
Looking at Lin Qianxue's white knee-length dress, suspender skirt and straw hat full of summer atmosphere, Xia Chiyu suddenly frowned: "What kind of equipment are you wearing, why are you so modern?" â
"Now we can seal the attributes of the equipment into the attribute beads, and then transfer the attributes to the shape clothes we like, which is called 'transmogrification'. Is it good-looking? Lin Qianxue turned around and said with a smile.
"So the properties are still the same? I really don't understand the point. Xia Chiyu frowned and sighed.
"Girls! Love pretty! Ugly to death in armor with spikes and horns everywhere! And my current greedy wolf blood blade, which is super ugly as it is! It's just equipment for boys! Lin Qianxue said, her little hand flipped, and a delicate and slender knight's long sword appeared in her hand, "Isn't this much better?" â
"Okay." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and compromised, "Is there anything else I should pay attention to?" â
"Your previous role has been deleted, but the character ID card has not changed, so you can import your old number of skills directly, and the skills will be automatically unlocked when the level is reached." Lin Qianxue explained.
"Really? It would be much more convenient if the ability could be passed on. Xia Chiyu held his chin and groaned.
"Convenient, right? I can't wait to see how you defeated Wang Hui back then. Lin Qianxue said admiringly, and then she stretched out her hand to draw a virtual picture in front of her, an electronic screen appeared in front of her, she transferred to the property column, and withdrew 20,000 star coins, and then a small gold coin bag appeared in her hand, making a "bang" sound.
"This money should be enough for you to reach level seventy." Lin Qianxue said with a smile, and then her expression became mysterious, she looked around, leaned over her little face and whispered: "I can't take you, you are my secret weapon, I am ready to directly let you appear at the right time when the time comes, and surprise those bastards!" Anyway, with your strength, leveling up is definitely not difficult, right? â
After speaking, she didn't explain who the "bastards" were, so she patted Xia Chiyu on the shoulder and smiled: "Then you can play by yourself first during this time." If you have something, give me a secret letter, and I will go to your place to see your ~mua when I have time! â
After losing a flying kiss, Lin Qianxue returned to the astral teleportation point and left, Xia Chiyu sighed with a slight smile: "This girl is really so lively......
After building the number, the two quit the game, Xia Chiyu sent Lin Qianxue away, and then returned to the ao.
The AO system is very free, but it is not without restrictions. One of them is the ability mechanism. Each player gains five Ability Points for each level, which can be allocated to Psionics, Constitution, Strength, Spirit, Agility, and Skill.
Spiritual power is the maximum amount of health and mana/fighting energy, and at the same time increases the character's health and mana/fighting energy recovery speed.
The physique is to increase the upper limit of the body lĂŹ value, because the spell does not consume the body, only the skills of the physics department will be consumed, so generally only the physics department adds the physique.
Strength and Spirit increase the damage of physical and magic skills respectively, while agility increases the character's reaction time and attack, spell guidance and movement speed, and movement speed has a bonus to both physical and legal movement skills.
As for the concept of "reaction time", after all, this kind of real-time system that pursues reality will make the combat aspect not so good-looking, so the reaction time system has been introduced in AO to assist in combat.
The so-called reaction time is a kind of accelerated vision formed by the difference in the computing rate between the human brain and the computer. To put it simply, the player's dynamic vision is enhanced, and the reaction time is all seen in slow motion, giving you enough time to observe the situation and react to enemy attacks.
Of course, your own mobility will not speed up during this time, so it does not mean that time will slow down. There is a fixed 10-second interval between reaction times, and the initial reaction time is one second, which is equivalent to a three-second slow motion.
Finally, tips. This directly determines the numerical formula of the skill's damage, as well as the skill cost, attack range, and so on. On top of that, the higher the skill, the higher the skill level that can be set, and the base damage and range of advanced skills are much higher than those of low-level skills.
However, the higher the number of ability points, the smaller the benefit. For example, 50 agility will increase reaction time by 1 second, while 100 agility will only increase reaction time by 0.5 seconds, so it is up to the player to decide how to distribute it.
The beginning of any game is relatively simple, and so is AO. The main purpose of the mission during the novice period is to guide players on how to cast skills to familiarize themselves with the combat system and quickly pass the novice period.
The low-level dungeons and monster AI are very low, and the attacks are obvious, and there is a long "attack prelude", which is to remind the player to turn on the reaction time. Then the monster's attack speed and AI will slowly increase, but due to the low attack power, the player's mistake will not deduct too much blood, and you can be familiar with the combat system with peace of mind.
Xia Chiyu came to the village chief, and the task was directly triggered.
"Another rookie player...... You're a mage, aren't you? The village chief opened his mouth and said, "Do you see the option in the upper right corner?" Click on the skill option, which has the spells that come with the system, remember the situation when you cast the spell, and then recall it in your mind, and the spell can be released. Go and practice three times with the monsters that wander outside the village, and you'll be rewarded with a wealth of experience. â
Xia Chiyu opened the skill bar and checked, he is a light mage, and there is only one primary magic at present, the light bullet, after clicking on it, the system demonstrates the skill scene in his mind, and an oval light bullet flies out, hitting the slime and exploding, turning into a point of light and spreading and disappearing. You'll then be asked if you want to repeat the playback.
"No thanks." Xia Chiyu clicked to cancel the repeat playback, and then aimed at the emerald green slime and slime wandering outside the village, slime raised his hand, recalling the release scene of the light bullet just now in his mind, an oval light bullet flew out of his hand and hit the slime, making a soft sound of bubble bursting, the slime trembled, and his body gradually melted.
If you are not proficient enough in the special effects of the skill and there is a mistake in recalling, then the skill release will be considered a failure, and the attack power of the skill will be reduced. Somatosensory technology is to convert the player's brainwave QR code and upload it to the server, so the battle in this game is not based on action, but on imagination, using one's own imagination to promote body action, the more specific the imagination, the greater the probability of success. That is, to embody the imagination.
In addition to custom skills, there are also some skills that come with the system in AO, which are easier for players to imagine because they can be repeated from all angles, while custom skills require more practice and more detailed imagination. If you want to become a master in AO, you need to practice constantly.
An electronic screen rose in front of Xia Chiyu, showing the monster's fall and the experience gained. Xia Chiyu stretched out his hand and swiped on the screen, clicking to confirm that the equipment was picked up. Then Xia Chiyu killed two more slimes with a light bullet and upgraded them to two levels, and the character attributes on the menu began to flash, indicating that there were points that could be assigned.
The initial attributes of each character are all five points of each attribute, so there is not much difference in the attributes of the characters in the early stage. Xia Chiyu transferred out that he allocated two points in skill, and then one point each in spiritual power, spirit, and agility. Now his attributes are Constitution 5, Spiritual Power 6, Spirit 6, Agility 6, and Skill 7. Immediately, he turned to the village chief behind him with a golden question mark on his head indicating that the task was completed, and he could be promoted to another level if he handed in this task.
