Pan Long lived in a world of advanced technology and affluence in his last life. At that time, in addition to work and housework, his biggest pastime was playing games. Even, after he worked, he saved up his salary for several months and bought a set of horizontal VR game peripherals.

Lying in the VR equipment, you can experience all kinds of real and illusory scenery and experience all kinds of thrilling adventures without leaving home. All the player has to pay, in addition to time, is the money to buy equipment and games.

The amount of money is not small, but it is clearly worth it compared to the pleasure that can be obtained.

Among the young people of that world, VR games are a very popular entertainment item.

...... There's no way, everyone's reincarnation skills are very average, so just enjoy this.

"Heroes" is a fantasy S-RPG (war chess role-playing) game produced by Luna, from the PC era to the VR era, seven games have been released, each of which has sold very well, which can be called one of the golden signs of the game industry. Among them, the fourth "Sword and Tragedy" has a very special significance.

This part was an important watershed moment, marking a change in the style of the Heroes series. Starting from this one, the Heroes series has transformed from a semi-Q print style to a fully realistic painting style, and it is also the first work in the history of VR games that truly integrates the "realistic painting style" with the public aesthetics, opening up a golden strip for the creation of VR games in later generations.

The game has a level system where the player takes on the role of a young warrior who aspires to become a hero, and goes through various adventures along the way to achieve great things. He can be a hero who saves the world, or an overlord who rules the world, or he can take refuge in the demons and spread disaster and fear on the land...... In the subsequent DLC (Supplementary Story), players can also become an ancient dragon, reign in the Three Realms, and even become a god directly.

And no matter which ending it goes, the first level of the player's fledgling game is the village of Runa.

It's just that Pan Long is familiar with the flaming corpse-strewn village of Luna in the game, not the quiet and peaceful Runa Village in front of him. The gap between the two was so great that he didn't recognize it at first.

Until, he saw Lilina, who looked exactly like the statue of the goddess of the moon.

This girl is the heir to the stigmata of Luna, the goddess of the moon, and is one of the most important plot characters in the entire game. If you take the bright line and choose her as the heroine, you can get out of the perfect ending of the reunion; if you take the dark line, she is an indispensable sacrifice to complete the demon god advent ceremony; if you take the main line, the battles that started because of her are an important link to weaken the light and darkness; and if you take the ranger line and wander the world, you will be involved in these battles again and again......

Unless you know the plot well, don't mix anything, and concentrate on taking the salted fish route, don't try to avoid her.

Pan Long didn't have much interest in the follow-up plot, he felt that the fragments of the Classic of Mountains and Seas probably didn't have the ability to manifest the entire story of "Sword and Tragedy" - it was a grand war that spanned the entire continent and unfolded in more than a hundred scenes, and there would even be content going to the heavenly realm, the underworld, the demon realm and the elven realm. What he has to consider is what benefits he can get in this "novice pass"?

He struggled to recall his experience when he first played the game, as well as the strategies and plot analysis he saw on the Internet, and couldn't help but sigh.

As the player's fledgling first level, the enemies of Runa Village are weak, except for a small group of soldiers who remain to set fire to and supervise the burning of the entire village after the Imperial Holy Legion captures the "witches" and massacres the villagers. And in this burned village, there are naturally no shops or shrines to buy or bless.

Aside from two hidden treasures, there is nothing of value in this map.

Even those two hidden treasures are actually very ordinary.

The first is a pair of feather boots, which have a +5 movement speed, which is roughly equivalent to an additional speed of about ten kilometers per hour. The second is a slaughtering sword, which has average basic damage, but deals double damage to humans.

In addition to these two hidden treasures, there is also a "Fragment of the Moon" that will definitely be obtained in the plot, which is one of the three materials necessary to reforge the "Sword of Luna", the artifact of the moon in the future.

Pan Long felt that among these three treasures, only the "Moon Fragment" was of some value to himself. The other two, it's simply not worth wasting the aura and taking it back.

Taking the treasure back to the real world from the illusory world shaped by the fragments of the Mountains and Seas is to consume the aura of the treasure itself. The more you consume, the more you'll need to replenish the next time you open Unreal World. So if it's not some hard-to-get treasure, something in general, it's really not worth bringing it back to reality.

Why do the ancestors of the Pan family like to create an illusory world full of elixirs? It is because you can directly eat Haisai in it, and directly transform the resources into your own skills, even if you eat it, it doesn't matter, just digest it slowly after you come back.

Eating the resources of the stomach will not consume additional aura.

Daddy once said that there were also people among the ancestors who pondered "just eat it", and swallowed some rare treasures, ready to pull them out after returning to reality, or simply vomited them. It's a pity that it failed, even if it is swallowed into the stomach, those things that cannot be digested by the human body still have to consume spiritual energy before they can be transformed into entities.

I don't know if the ancestor spit it out or pulled it out......

Of course, Pan Long wouldn't be doing such a stupid thing, if he wanted to leave with something, he would definitely take it directly. Then when it comes to returning to reality, choose to solidify it with aura and follow the most normal process.

It's just that the Fragment of the Moon is really worth spending Aura to solidify and bring back to reality?

Or rather, can this thing really be brought back?

He pondered for a moment and shook his head secretly.

The Fragment of the Moon is a fragment of the "Goddess of the Moon Crystal", but what the "Goddess of the Moon Crystal" is, the story doesn't mention it at all. According to the analysis of the players at the beginning, there are no more than two possibilities, one is the crystallization of the divine power of Luna, the goddess of the moon, and the other is part of the fragment of the moon artifact.

Either way, this thing is pretty high-end, high-end to ...... It is very likely that the aura stored in the fragments of the mountains and seas is not enough to manifest it.

And, even if it is embodied and brought back, what is the use?

To create an artifact, let's say a divine sword that can slash enemies while draining their life force, while also ignoring any invisible defensive force fields such as Gang Qi?

Pan Long couldn't think of where he could find such a powerful swordsmith.

If you can't find a swordsmith, no matter how good the materials are, you can only put them in the warehouse and be dusty, so it's just a waste of aura.

"Forget it, it doesn't make much sense......"

He muttered to himself, dispelling the idea of taking the Lunar Fragment with him.

It seems that the only gain from my trip to Runa Village is probably to see Runa Village, which was not destroyed by the imperial army, and to visit a European festival full of Chinese characteristics up close.

...... It's a bit of a loss!

Although theoretically speaking, if you don't take anything away, the loss of aura from the fragments of the Shanhai Sutra will be very small, and it will be easier to refill it and then open a new illusory world again. But I finally came here, but I waved my sleeves and didn't take away a cloud......

"I always feel that I have lost 100 million. ”

Pan Long sighed and was about to turn around and leave.

This festival is nothing more than singing hymns and the like, and in his previous life, there was a church near his home, and he saw a lot of it.

Instead of wasting time watching the excitement, it is better to find a place to practice. See what the effect of practicing in this world is different from that in reality.

He walked towards the entrance of the village, walked out of the village of Runa, and rubbed shoulders with the statue of the goddess of the moon holding a sword at the entrance of the village.

But before he could enter the nearby woods, he saw two men in black robes, guarded by five or six fierce men, coming in a carriage towards the village of Runa.

Pan Long noticed that there was a crescent moon pattern on the chest of these people's black robes.

"Monotheistic priests, what are they coming for?"

He muttered to himself, let go to the side of the road, watched the group of people enter the village of Runa in a menacing manner, and followed curiously to watch the excitement.

The group then clashed with the villagers of Runa.

This group of people belonged to the Frese Empire, and the only officially recognized legal belief of the Frese Empire was the Monotheistic Cult. They regard the traditional polytheistic religions of various places as evil and evil ways, and have always cracked down on them from the legal side. For example, only Unitarian believers were allowed to become officials and soldiers, taxes were increased in areas of different faiths, and the publication of books on any religion of different faiths was prohibited, and it was forbidden to publicly create or display literary and artistic works based on other faiths.

That's all there is to it, the most terrifying thing is that the Frese Empire has also set up a "Holy Army", with the fanatics of the Unitarian Religion as the core, and has incorporated a large number of hooligans and bandits to attack people of other faiths everywhere. On more than one occasion, he even wielded a butcher's knife under the pretext of "catching wizards" and "hunting witches", and slaughtered entire villages.

In the game, no matter which route the player takes, they will have a fierce conflict with the One God Cult. Even if you want to be a salted fish without asking about the world, there will be fanatics of the Unitarian Religion who will come to you for trouble, and you can't avoid it.

Therefore, Pan Long has no good impression of this group of neurotic religious maniacs at all, and even wishes to see them unlucky.

And just as he expected, the villagers of Luna did not back down in the face of the fierce men who ordered them to immediately smash the statue of the goddess of the moon and convert to the One God Religion. The quarrel soon turned into a brawl, and the villagers were outnumbered, wielding farm tools such as pitchforks and hoes, and beating the Monotheistic fellows with their heads in their hands. In the end, he could only drop the cruel words of "you wait and see", fled into the carriage, and ran away in disgrace.

After repelling the troublemakers, the villagers of Runa Village continued the celebration with great interest, but Pan Long squinted his eyes and nodded slightly.

"I want to ...... I finally understand how the plot of the first level of the game came about......"

As he spoke, he went to the festival venue and found the village chief who had just taken the lead in arguing with the two One God missionaries.

"Mr. Village Chief, do you know that your Runa Village is about to be in trouble!"
