The rugged mountain road has a thick layer of floating soil, and occasionally a gust of wind will sweep away some of the accumulated soil, but it will also bring more sand and dust.

"Brother Liu, haven't we arrived yet, how big should the map of this game be?" Su Yan sat on the carriage and looked around, his brows furrowed more and more, and his heart was even more suspicious, although the speed of the carriage was not fast, it had been running for three or four hours in a row, and now it was still driving in the wilderness, and it seemed that it was still quite far away from the destination.

"It's almost here, and I don't know which perverted design of the game map, last time I drove a carriage from one city to another for more than ten hours in a row." Xiao Liu, the driver who was already covered with dust, also complained, obviously the "carriage driver" is much harder than the real car driver.

"Running for more than ten hours in a row......" The corners of Su Yan's mouth couldn't help twitching, this mysterious game is really perverted enough, just this game map is amazingly big.

Several other people in the carriage were also carefully looking at the game world along the way, and their faces were even more uncertain.

"How did the company first know that there was such a game?" The glasses man Li Jian asked with some hesitation.

"Then I don't know, I already had this perverted game when I joined the company two years ago, my job is to transport ore in the game, and I don't know much about this game other than driving this carriage." Xiao Liu smiled bitterly.

Half an hour later, the carriage finally came to a halt in a deserted valley, and in front of it was a small town that was mostly hidden in the mountains.

But it's more of a small castle than a town, with walls several meters high made entirely of massive strips of stone, and heavy gates made of steel.

"Hey, welcome to New Oriental Mining Company." As soon as he got out of the carriage, someone greeted him with a smile.

"Fat supervisor......" Su Yan recognized at a glance that the person who greeted him at the city gate was the fat supervisor who interviewed them.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, since even the HR director had entered the game, it meant that the game was indeed not too dangerous.

Although the town is small, it is full of organs, including latrines.

The fat man led Su Yan and them into the city, and introduced them very enthusiastically all the way: "Now you should believe in the existence of the death game, in this game it is almost the same as in reality, and the characters in this game cannot be offline, even if you quit the game, the characters in it will still exist, and if you lose control, you will only stand there stupidly, and it is easy to be attacked, so you must return to this city when it is absolutely safe to go offline to rest." ”

"Characters are always online?!" Su Yan couldn't help but groan in his heart, what kind of strange game is this.

"Aren't we going to be in the game all day?" Li Jian also asked with a look of surprise.

"You can rest assured, after entering the game, your body in the game cabin is in a state of complete relaxation and rest, and the general sleep and rest is exactly the same, you can return to the city when you need to quit the game, the company can ensure your absolute safety, if the situation in the game is more urgent and needs to be online for a long time, you can also use intravenous injection to provide nutrition."

Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that the nutrition game cabin that he said before that could last for half a year was not a joke, and this strange game that the character couldn't go offline might really need to use that kind of nutrition game cabin for otaku when it really needed.

"There are more than 70 people working here in our company, but now they have all gone down to the mine to mine, I will take you to become miners first, and then take you to the mine to have a look."

"Miners want to change jobs?" Su Yan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

The fat man smiled: "Of course you need to, there are hundreds of professions in this game, all with their own unique skills and specialties, and the miner's exclusive skill prospecting can improve the efficiency of mining." ”

Unexpectedly, he said that he was a fat man, but he took the four of them into a Taoist temple in the city.

The Taoist temple is not big, there is only a main hall and a side room, the main hall full of cigarette smoke is enshrined in the very traditional statue of the three Qing gods, and the futon in front of the hall sits on an old Taoist who closes his eyes and settles.

When Su Yan and the others came in, the old Dao, who looked a bit fairy, opened his eyes slightly and didn't say much, just threw out a few pieces of paper with a slightly yellowish color.

The paper immediately flew towards the four of them as if they were spiritual.

Su Yan was surprised to take the yellow paper that flew in front of his eyes, but it was a mining agreement document, but before he could see the details, the ghostly translucent information suddenly appeared in front of him: Are you willing to change to a miner?

Su Yan hesitated for a moment but chose to accept it, although it was clear that the profession of miner would definitely have no future in the game, but this was his job after all.

When he quietly held his game necklace, the system prompt appeared in front of him again, and the character's attributes did not change, but there was more class information than the original:

Occupation: Miner

Level: 1

Experience: 1/1000

Skill: [Prospecting: Level 1, increases the chance of finding ore by 10%.] 】

"Behind the door are your tools, and you will hand over at least six hundred catties of grade 5 ore every month, and you will get more for your work." After everyone accepted the paper, the Taoist priest only said a faint word, then closed his eyes again and resumed his meditative appearance.

The tools are very simple, a pickaxe and a hemp bag per person, plus a pack of candles.

"Damn, this game is too picky, and I don't even have a starter pack...... "The man with glasses complained with some dissatisfaction.

"yes, do you want us to use this sack as a package?" Su Yan was also quite depressed, the designers of this game seemed to be so stingy that they didn't even provide personal parcel space.

"Shhhh The fat man hurriedly pulled a few people out of the Taoist temple.

"What's the matter, does our speech have an effect on that NPC? He shouldn't understand what we're talking about. Li Jian, the man with glasses, asked suspiciously.

The smile on the fat man's face was a little strange, and he said in a low voice: "What NPC...... That's Manager Wang of our company, there are no NPCs in this village, all players are like us. ”

"The manager is also playing games?" Su Yan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes, Manager Wang rarely appears in the company, he spends most of his time in the game." The fat director led a few people to the mine as he spoke, but there seemed to be some dissatisfaction between his words.

The whole town was originally built on the mountain, and the mine cave was at the back of the village, and even though the mottled stone wall next to the mine was covered with moss, a few large characters could still be faintly distinguished—Viper Mine Cave.

What is even more striking is that the stone walls are covered with small wooden plaques with names engraved on them.

"This ...... Is it clocking in and out of the game? Su Yan couldn't help crying and laughing.

The fat man smiled a little embarrassedly: "No, as long as you can hand in enough ore every month, the working hours in the game can be arbitrary, but for safety reasons, a wooden card engraved with your name will be left before entering the cave every time, and you will take it away when you go out of the cave, in case someone accidentally leaves it in the mine." ”

As soon as you enter the mine, the light immediately dims, and you can even hear the wind whispering like a ghost.

"That's too real." Feeling the gust of wind, Su Yan couldn't help but be excited.

"Hehe, it's good when you get acquainted with it, the ore produced here is mainly black iron ore, which is divided into five grades, and the purchase price of each grade of ore varies greatly, if you are lucky enough to dig a piece of first-class black ore, it will be developed."

"Is this mine safe, and will there be any monsters in it?" The Qinghua man, who had not spoken on the road, frowned and asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, there are only some low-level zombies in this mine, as long as you don't go into the depths of the mine, there will be no danger."

"Zombie ...... The monsters in this game can't be so realistic, right? Jiang Yue, who was already a little nervous, suddenly turned a little pale.

"Don't worry, our company will invite game masters to clean up the zombies in the mine every month, and occasionally the missing ones are hiding in the deepest part of the mine, and the chances of encountering zombies here are similar to the five million jackpot in reality." The fat man hurriedly patted his chest and reassured.
