Chapter 40: Realistic Interactions

"Huh?! It's too fake, you've only been playing for two days, it's impossible! ”

From the small shack in one corner of the camp came Testis's exclamation of disbelief.

As the time to go offline is approaching, Rare has to stay at this camp.

In order to ensure his physical safety when he went offline, he planned to temporarily live in the cabin of News.

However, Testis was reluctant to refuse, and he also wanted to get acquainted with the other party, so he stayed in the other party's cabin.

Feeling the strong desire to win in the other party, Riel said quietly and comfortingly.

"The game is full of uncertainties, I can become a rank should be regarded as opportunistic, combat effectiveness is actually not as strong as a rank like you who have come up step by step, but you have been staying in this kind of place for more than a month, haven't you thought about going out to explore the world?"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Testis was still a little relieved, but as soon as she heard the second half of the sentence, her little face immediately collapsed.

"Wow! No matter how you explore, I don't have any legal status in the Plant Federation, there are doglegs and human traffickers of the Federation everywhere outside, and the metallurgical industry is developed, and I can't go anywhere with fine skin and tender meat! ”

"Alas, I thought that the beginning of the mage class was the most dick, and I deliberately filled in a bunch of information about the mage's tendency, who knew that I wanted to be the god of the Ten Mile Cave......"

Riel thought about it carefully, and the other party's choice didn't seem to be wrong.

Without legal status, it is indeed difficult to move forward in a world where the Federation of Order controls most of the territory.

With the average player's game level, it is more appropriate to start the game with a steady start.

Just as the two were about to continue exchanging some other information about the game, a very discordant snoring suddenly came from inside the hut......

"Damn! What the hell is this guy, how can I sleep later......

Before Testis could finish speaking, a sleepiness hit her cheeks, and she couldn't help but yawn.

"Ah, yes, Riel, @*)#*@#*¥#@¥#*¥......"

Testis suddenly said a bunch of jumbled strings of symbols to Riel.

"Come to me underwater, and we will continue to talk in the real world......"

As soon as the words fell, she couldn't resist the sleepiness, and fell asleep with her head planted.

After the other party fell asleep, Riel searched the house for a while, picked up a copy of "Introduction to the Basics of Magical Transformation" and read it.

In the game, there are a lot of books about professional knowledge and unique skills.

Some books can make people understand something about the profession, improve some skill levels and even learn some special skills.

Before going to bed, Riel read the entire thick book at a glance.

At twelve o'clock, Arrail closed his eyes as accurately as the program had started, and fell asleep peacefully.

Tick, tick......

"Hmm...... Time, 4 o'clock sharp......"

In the real world, Riel wakes up from his bed on time and starts his day.

It's just that instead of reading the basically meaningless news, he started to learn something about the dark web online.

Although he had no previous experience with the dark web as a law-abiding citizen of the Free Commonwealth, he immediately understood the meaning of Testis's jumble of symbols.

The bottom of the water is the place that goes deep below the surface of the water, and it is undoubtedly the dark web.

It is only on the Internet that two people who have never known each other in reality can meet again across the distance of space.

Riel is a very good learner, and with the effort of reading junk information in the past, he has freed up the use of the pile of symbols.

After a few roundabout entrance verifications, Riel arrives in a chat room called [High Play Club].

Glancing at the time, at 6:18, the other party may not get up.

Riel casually left a word.

[Is Gigica's apprentice here?] 】

On the fluorescent screen, there was no response in the chat room for a long time.

However, Riel is idle, and he would rather stay in the chat room and wait a little longer than contribute to the click-through rate of those traffic messages.

It wasn't until 6:29 that a message popped up in the chat room.

[Meditation is over, good morning, Mr. Mad Whisperer!] 】

[Good morning Gigika's apprentice, tell me about the content of your character creation interface, maybe you can deduce something useful]

……

"Gigica's Apprentice" and "Mad Whisperer" are the two of them agreeing to address each other, and although it's a private chat room on the dark web, it's always a good idea to be cautious.

Although Riel is very modest, as a high-level player, Testis still smells the same kind of breath in Riel, and she plans to join forces with Riel to open up the wasteland.

After some conversation, Rare discovers that there are several different difficulty modes in the game.

Testis is in Hardmode, where the penalty for dying once is four days of not being able to log in to the game, and the character's creature level drops by one level when resurrected.

And after dying twice in a row, Testis discovers that the game's experience points can be deducted to a negative number......

When a Level 1 [Challenge Mode] player dies, 1000 XP points will be deducted.

As for Sledgehammer, his brain was not as good as that of Testis, and he couldn't remember many details himself, and Rare naturally didn't ask at the time.

After that, Testis no longer dared to go out blindly, and began to stay honestly in the underground ruins excavation site similar to the novice village, relying on daily tasks to mix experience.

The daily quest is boring, which is to dig up a certain amount of ruin remnants every day, and randomly gain 50-100 experience points according to the number.

However, unlike Sledgehammer, Testis has a much more flexible brain, she often relies on [pickpocketing] [begging] to make up the number of things dug up by others, and after casually mixing up a hundred experience points every day, she relies on her own game experience to explore around the wanderer's camp.

Eventually, she discovered Gigica, a hidden old wizard who had become an apprentice with her extraordinary talent for magic.

After that, the game experience was relatively on the right track of apprenticeship.,Overall, the start was quite smooth.。

However, this closed-door development started her for more than a month, and it wasn't until Riel and the others arrived that she met the first wave of other players.

As Riel expected, he was not warned by the occult forces during his communication with Testis.

Communicating internally with players on this private dark web doesn't seem to be against the other party's rules.

This is an extremely important piece of information, as it shows that it is possible for players to form gangs with each other in the real world.

In previous games, Riel was completely disdainful of being in groups with other players, which was possible, but not necessary.

But this surreal game gave Rare a sensation that it had never experienced before.

If you want to achieve certain goals in the game, it is necessary for multiple people to cooperate and help each other.

After all, there is a limit to a person's ability.

[I'm going to get ready for work, we'll contact you at 6 p.m.]

[OKOK, I'm going to work too, see you back (smiley)]

After that, it was another day of work, and the time passed quickly in the in-depth communication with the customer.

At the end of the day, Arrail passed by the newly opened peripheral store again, and there were still as many people as ever.

The bustling crowd drained the entire shop, and he could only vaguely see a tuft of white hair swaying back and forth in the shop.

"Business is so good......

After returning home and having a quick and easy dinner, Riel reins into communication with Testis again.

He didn't hesitate to share his experience with the other party about relic dungeons, and briefly mentioned his thoughts on the game.

Naturally, Testis also shared everything he had seen and heard, and the two quickly supplemented each other's intelligence information.

In the early stage of the game, in the face of this new world, the two have already unambiguously planned to start acting together.

After talking about the content in the game, they began to turn the conversation to certain parts of reality......
