Chapter 62: The Lair of Ten Thousand Demons
Alain Bu first moved the laptop to the living room, then plugged it in and pressed the power button. The small circle rotated for a long time, and finally suddenly got stuck the moment I opened the desktop.
Wow! This thing freezes as soon as it is turned on? The low-profile version must be the low-profile version.
He wiped the cold sweat from his face and took another bottle of cold beer, this time......
Seeing that the small circle popped up on the computer desktop after a few weeks of loading, it was still the default of the system, the applications were stacked in a mess on the left side, and most of them were browser players, and he speculated that this old man must have watched a lot of movies at night.
What worries him the most is internet speed, the factor that affects the length of time he spends in a daze — after he changes his browsing mode, it becomes non-existent.
I am the only one in heaven and on earth!
Break the confusion in my heart!
Enter the keyword, Alain Bu's right hand in a slow motion, enter!
Uh, it's too much, how can there be no message from them, am I typing it incorrectly? No, it's definitely a problem with the computer.
Alain Bu changed his browser again, and soon, he saw several large crimson words on the screen: Lair of Ten Thousand Demons.
"Lair of Ten Thousand Demons" is an online game, and it's an exquisite tower defense survival game. In the game, all the demons are divided into two camps, one is the conservatives, who are willing to change themselves to adapt to the human race, and the other is the radicals, who believe in the survival of the fittest, and the weak race will be wiped out.
The two camps have been battling wits and courage in this virtual world, creating fierce sparks of incompatibility, and neither of them will take a step back. They also set up their own game chat groups to discuss how to play the game.
Gamers are not only demons, but also humans, they all appear in the game in the most realistic appearance of the real world, of course, after logging into the game, you can create your own character appearance and change the name.
On top of that, the gameplay of "Lair of Ten Thousand Demons" is also very special, as players must put on a virtual game headset and go to sleep, giving the impression of living in a dream.
As a result, the game has the most realistic mental feedback system, where all sensory perceptions can be reflected in the real world. However, if you die in the game, the character will be immediately forced out of the game and the account will be automatically cleared.
This brutal rule dissuaded many players, but there are still many loyal fans who have survived to this day.
This was already exciting enough for Alain Bu, who rarely played games, so he immediately ** the game's special helmet, and in less than half an hour, the helmet was sent over.
Consciousness slowly faded away, and he fell asleep on the couch.
A login main screen appeared in the dark vision, and he registered a new account, a professional warrior, whose name was Shen Yong Puluo.
Okay, the character is created, and his spawn is in a small backward village, and the surrounding villagers are all game NPCs, and their role is to issue various novice mini-quests.
As soon as they saw Alainbu, they were like seeing the gods descend to earth, and they all hugged them and knelt on the ground. Since it's an NPC, there's nothing to pay attention to, he quietly glanced at the upper left corner of the ** side of the corner, well, the avatar is there, the name is there, but how can there be no level? I'm a Terran warrior.
Alain Bu looked at the system's "Beginner's Guide", this game is actually the other way around, the gamers have no level, and the NPCs have levels. What's more, the strength value and defense value in the attribute panel are completely blank, even if you give a zero.
He wore a cloth shirt given by the system, and he didn't even have shoes, maybe it was because he was handsome that he looked so different, right?
By the way, he still has to do novice tasks.,Hey,What he hates the most is doing novice tasks.,It's boring and troublesome.,I really just want to see those demon friends.。
Fortunately, this game is designed to be very user-friendly, and he can choose to skip the task, so that he can leave this novice village earlier, wearing only a cloth coat and walking to the entrance of the village, embarrassing is embarrassing, but this new experience is quite cool, isn't it?
"Let's get out of ......the way," a black-haired teenager in blue came to him pushing a cart, "Brother, do you sell sweet potatoes?" ”
"Sell? No, I don't sell sweet potatoes. ”
"Brother, what we sell there means the same thing."
It just so happens that he's a little hungry, so he'll buy two. But when he touched his whole body, he realized that he had no money on him at all.
The boy looked at him incredulously, and Alain Bu had to make excuses that he had gone out fast and had forgotten to bring the money.
The boy stared at him like a fool, and Alain Bu thought that this excuse might not be tenable, so he said, "Haha, I just want to come out and see the scenery, so I'll go back." ”
He was eager to leave immediately, but the next second he was stopped by the young man: "Hey, you're a novice, right?" ”
It turned out that when I opened the broken hair, I saw a dark gold headband on the young man's forehead, and an obsidian gem in the center.
"What newbie? I'm out of the customs, please call me Brother Shenyong Prolo. "Alain Bu can't see the other party's level, so naturally he doesn't know how strong the other party is.
How did he know that the young man suddenly laughed out loud, and his red pupils seemed to be a twilight of the setting sun, blending into a pure and lovely smile.
Alain Bu wondered, did he say something funny?
"You're so funny, you're just a newcomer who hasn't even done a task, what kind of big guy are you pretending to be, haha."
"Really? Where are you from to take care of my business? ”
"I'm going out to sell sweet potatoes, and it's not right for me to run into an old beggar."
The more Alain Bu thought about it, the more angry he became, and the tone of his voice unconsciously became a little heavier: "Who taught you to speak like that?" Say I'm a beggar? ”
"Aren't you a beggar? How can you be penniless if you are not a beggar? The little boy's expression gradually became aggrieved, and no one could stop him.
Alan Bu was speechless, it turns out that if you don't do the novice task, you will be looked down upon by other players, as a good young man with good three views, you have to play a game according to the rules.
"You wait, I'll take the money to buy your sweet potatoes later."
He went into the village and asked the NPCs with question marks on their heads, their task was nothing more than running errands and delivering things, and it was only more than a hundred gold coins to complete ten tasks.
Ah, there are not enough gold coins, you can't even afford two sweet potatoes, no, you can't even afford a cart of sweet potatoes, so how can you do it?
Although in the game, food is not the most important, but money is the most important, without money you can't buy good equipment, you can't buy good equipment, you can't fight monsters, you can't fight monsters, how can you improve your own strength?
When he returned to the village, Alain Bu said to the young man, "It's over, I can't afford to buy your sweet potatoes even if I sell the map, so you might as well go into the village and sell your sweet potatoes."
"Eh, my sweet potatoes are so delicious, those players who have rice don't come to buy them, I can only sell them to NPCs."
The young man hummed a tune in his mouth and pushed the cart in, Alan Bu saw that the costume on his body was quite noble, he was still a demon child, his little face was white and pure, why would a senior player come out to sell sweet potatoes?
It's incredible, and even more incredible, if I play a game for a day without eating, will I be hungry? Alain Bu hurriedly glanced at the time in the upper right corner, a day here is equivalent to half a day in the real world, in other words, as long as he plays here for a day and then quits, it will be fine.
Well, I was overthinking, and he looked at the world map he had gotten from the villagers.
The game world is roughly divided into three sections, with each faction taking up a large chunk, and they both have the secondary city at the front of the war, and the main city at the rear, with a main battlefield and neutral area in between.
He's in a neutral zone, the only place protected from war, with birds and flowers, beautiful scenery, and a variety of terrain that makes it popular with casual players.
On the other hand, the reason why this place is not under the jurisdiction of anyone is because of the large number of exotic beasts that occupy this place. They can be gentle or irritable, and the most important thing is that you can't tell how strong they really are, so the average player doesn't dare to alarm them easily.
However, creatures like this created by the game have a lifespan, and like the player, they also have birth, old age, sickness and death, and once they establish a connection with the player, they will never abandon their master for a lifetime.
This is also the reason why the players who appear here are generally stronger, because it is not uncommon for mad beasts to destroy villages, and if you are not careful, you can start all over again.
Middle-earth is not only rich in jungles and rivers, but also the desert Gobi, and what is even more terrifying is that some places are connected to the abyss of hell, and once you fall into it, you will die in minutes.
For newcomers to the game, there are two options, one is to choose their own camp and learn from a teacher to achieve the goal of becoming stronger quickly, and the other is to travel around this indisputable place and try their luck. The second option is more suitable for game masters, but he thinks that his foundation is good and he doesn't need to choose a side so quickly.
But are you going to use these cloth shoes to go to the vice-city of the conservatives? How many years and months will it take?
Luckily, the location of the portal is clearly marked on the map, and there is one on the outskirts of the village. It was a pale blue pillar of light, imprisoned in a layer of transparent glass.
At this time, there was an old man standing in front of the portal, his silver hair was long and knotted, but judging by his outfit, this man should be the guide of the game.
"Welcome, newcomer, do you need the old man to explain how to use the portal?"
"No, I will."
The old man ignored his words, but said, "You haven't been anywhere else, and the portal won't be used for the time being." ”
Hey? yes, so what am I doing here? He's going to be confused.
