Chapter 001: The Prophet
"Boom—"
The thunder was deafening, the rain was mixed with the wind, and under the dark sky, it was like a ghost crying and howling.
This thunderstorm has been falling all day, and the adults in their own family are firmly holding their daughter and wife, as if they are afraid that someone will start to shake the letter.
In a basement, the lights are dim and the smoke is filled, which is more gloomy than the thick smog weather, and if outsiders enter, they will definitely choke their noses and tears.
The basement is small in size, but it is full of items, such as induction cookers, bicycles, and so on.
At this time, a young man in his twenties sat on the ground, looking haggard, holding a bottle of old white dry, like a lost person in the desert who is seriously short of water, and he saw a clear spring and poured it in a big gulp.
The ashtray on the table was already full of cigarette butts, like a blooming chrysanthemum. The greasy bag containing the beef noodles on the side still smells a little, and it has obviously been left here for a long time......
His name is Qu Ming, he is a game maniac, twenty-six years old, no education, no job, naturally no girl, no car and no house.
It has been more than three years since I came to the capital from the countryside, and I live entirely by making some money in the game.
Three years ago, the 98% realism of the mental operation online game "Tower Defense Era" came out, using unprecedented novel elements as a gimmick, bringing explosive popularity.
Qu Ming is naturally no exception, and he is also one of the game fanatics who go with the flow, and joined the game with the idea of buying a car and a house through games, and finding a beautiful daughter-in-law for his parents to hold their grandchildren.
The reason why Qu Ming is so decadent now, coupled with the environment in the basement, seems to be self-depraved/degraded, all this is precisely because he chose the race of 'prophets' in the game.
There are 8 races in the game: Guwu, Orc, Mecha, Undead, Knight, Elf, Elemental, and Prophet.
Each race has its own characteristics, and the biggest highlight of the game is to use rune scrolls, rune fragments, and rune essences to combine them into heroes and cooperate with players to fight through the player's imagination.
The heroes of each race have unique abilities, such as Gu Wu, if they try in every way, they may be able to combine Guo Jing who can descend the dragon and eighteen palms, and Linghu who can depose the nine swords of Dugu......
Similarly, if you are a mecha race, it's not impossible to get a 'Gundam'!
To be exact, there should be seven races in the game, and the 'Prophet' race is a combination of heroes without any characteristics, but it can combine all the heroes of the remaining seven races!
BUG?
That's right,'Prophet' is indeed a BUG-level race.,But the so-called extremes must be reversed.,Game companies naturally won't make this kind of low-level mistake of career imbalance.,The company has repeatedly clarified that 'Prophet' is a profession prepared for god-level high-level play.,There's no absolute confidence in yourself.,It's best not to touch it!
Players who have participated in the inside have said that they must not choose the Prophet, this is a super pit! But Qu Ming doesn't believe in evil, when he landed in the game, he directly chose the race of 'prophet', how bold the so-called body is, how prolific the land is, there is no reason not to fight!
Then he regretted that when other players reached level 20 and passed the second turn dungeon, Qu Ming hovered between level 9 and level 10; When the player reached level 30 and could combine level 4-6 heroes through the three-turn dungeon, Qu Ming still failed to break through level 10.
After the player reaches level 10, the experience will be stuck, whether it is doing tasks or farming, there will be no experience to gain, only to challenge the transfer of the dungeon, and you can continue to improve the level if you pass; If you fail, you lose one level.
Finally, when the level 10 equipment was like garbage and no one wanted it, he put together a set of excellent ones, passed the job transfer task, and finally passed the hurdle of a turn......
But after the first turn, there are more difficult second and third turns......
Based on the characteristics of the Prophet profession, whether you are performing a class transfer quest or a normal quest, you will be forced by the system to open the highest 'Nightmare' difficulty, which is the direct reason why the Prophet level cannot be upgraded at all!
In desperation, Qu Ming focused on the development of a sub-profession in the game, and it was the small amount of money earned through the sub-profession that allowed him to barely survive for three years without having to accept the help of his parents.
Although it is possible to delete the character and re-select the race, since each account is bound to the player's identity information, it is quite troublesome to deal with, and it will take at least three months to re-create the account.
Until today, three years later, Qu Ming is completely desperate, he has no income for two months, and because he has no money to invest in the improvement of his sub-professional ability, no one will bring him business at all.
Qu Ming has decided to give up this game with no bright future for him, get drunk, and go out tomorrow to find a job, his parents are getting old, but he has to retire, and there is no time for him to continue to be decadent.
He was reluctant to give up, but he had to bow to fate! Qu Ming sighed, poured most of the bottle of 52 degrees old white dry in one go, his eyes were dark, and his consciousness gradually lost......
A violent knock on the door woke up Qu Ming, who was asleep, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said in disgust: "What knocking, I said that the rent, water and electricity will be paid once in two months!" ”
There was a pause outside the door, and then there was another knock. Qu Ming lifted the summer cool quilt, sat up, felt dizzy, leaned against the wall, shook his head, and staggered to the door.
After opening the door, Qu Ming was stunned, not the landlord?
The courier squeezed out a very reluctant smile: "Express, please sign for it." ”
"Express? No kidding, right? How can I afford to buy things! With a little caution in his eyes, Qu Ming was already preparing to forcibly close the door.
The young courier hurriedly took out a pen: "Brother, it's not easy to do what we do, don't joke with me!" ”
Qu Ming didn't look like a courier murderer, so he simply signed the name and returned to the room with the box.
Unwrapping the package layer by layer, when I saw the contents of the box, my eyes suddenly widened, it was actually a game helmet! Or the color of the limited edition local tyrant gold!
Qu Ming picked up the invoice and wrote: Dear Mr. Qu Ming, congratulations, you ordered a game helmet in our company on August 6, and the order ranking was 15 million, and you are hereby rewarded with a helmet of local tyrant gold color, I hope you will continue to support the rest of the company's peripheral products!
The invoice slipped off his hand, Qu Ming was completely stunned, he was indeed lucky to get the local tyrant's golden helmet, but that was three years ago!
Look at the original place where the helmet was placed, but there was nothing, and then look at the order date, and then turn on the TV and press a few channels to confirm, it was really three years ago!
"Damn, isn't it, dreaming or being reborn?"
Rinsing his face with cold water, Qu Ming soon sorted out his memories and confirmed that he was indeed reborn back to three years ago! It's unbelievable, which makes Qu Ming seem a little at a loss.
Wait for a little calming down, and then look at the time, at noon on August 8th, there is less than half an hour left for the first day of the game.
Qu Ming's mood fluctuations were extremely intense, from ignorance to helplessness, to ecstasy, and even to tears in his eyes after being excited. The biggest regret was that I chose the wrong race, and I thought countless times that if I could do it again, I would definitely get out of the giant pit of 'prophet'! But he had another plan at this time: he still chose the Prophet and dragged this race to the top of the game!
Dragging the tired body, I took a cold shower in the bathroom of only a few square meters, and I was suddenly refreshed!
Then Qu Ming simply cleaned up the room, and took another bite of a compressed biscuit, but the remaining few minutes were extremely difficult, due to excitement and nervousness, even his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble.
When the time finally came, Qu Ming immediately put on his helmet and landed in the game.
After some identity verification, the next step is the account creation process.
System: Please give your character a name.
It's a female voice, and it sounds very pleasant.
"One-eyed serpent!"
System: Please adjust your appearance by 20% up and down.
Of course, it's the most handsome!
After confirming, the interface in front of Qu Ming's eyes changed, and the option of eight races appeared, and after a little hesitation, he still chose the prophet.
Qu Ming had died in the 'Prophet' race, and this time it was not out of the so-called 'where you fall, where you get up' nonsense, but through the memories before rebirth, he is sure that this race will be properly managed!
Then the scene changed again, and there was a loess paved street at your feet, lined with wooden and stone huts, and some houses had signs hanging in front of them, blacksmith shops, medicine shops, rune shops, and so on.
Qu Ming looked at his own outfit, thin armless shirts, and a pair of straw sandals. The arm muscles are very eye-catching, and in reality they are enough to kill a lady in seconds.
At this time, one player after another suddenly appeared around, and Qu Ming no longer wasted time, and immediately ran to do the task.
The novice guide task naturally had to be picked up from the village chief, Qu Ming ran straight over, and after taking the task, he got busy.
At first, the task was very simple, nothing more than to send letters, buy some items on behalf of others, etc., level 0 to level 1 required to upgrade very little experience, after delivering the letter to Tailor Qiao, Qu Ming was upgraded.
Looking at the three clothes that Tailor Qiao took out, they were cloth clothes, light armor, and heavy armor, cloth clothes and light armor have no equipment requirements, but wearing heavy armor requires 12 points of constitution attributes, Qu Ming added all the 2 points of free distribution attributes obtained from the upgrade to the constitution, and the constitution attribute has reached 13 points.
However, before putting on the equipment, Qu Ming still checked his physical attributes first.
