Chapter 240: Wishes Are Beliefs
In the fifteenth year of the new calendar, March 2, it was sunny.
Li Zhiwen looked up at the blue sky in a daze, and a few white clouds came and went away.
Li Zhiwen remembers very well that the date when they entered this virtual world copy after adaptive training was March 1, that is, today was the second day of entering the copy.
According to the team leader, the timeline of the virtual world copy is three times faster than the timeline of the real world, that is, he has been in this world for about twenty-five hours, and in the real world it is eight hours, and strangely, he does not feel hungry or tired.
Of course, in this world, Li Zhiwen has eaten four meals and slept for eight hours, but Li Zhiwen knows very well that what he eats in this world cannot appear in the stomach of his real body, and he doesn't dare to say whether sleep can rest his real brain, anyway, he is in good spirits now.
As for why he is in a daze here, in fact, Li Zhiwen has often been in a daze like this in the past 20 hours, because he can't be sure that he is now in a virtual digital world, which is so real that it will always make people forget that all this is virtual.
Li Zhiwen was surprised how this was done, of course, if you distinguish carefully, it is still easy to find the problem, such as the grass under your feet looks almost the same, for example, the tree you just cut down is exactly the same as the previous one, and there are butterflies and bees flying around, just like that, you will find it if you look at it more.
In addition, the logging is not really logging, at least the reaction force from the axe in the hand is quite fake, and there is the blood bar on the tree, and after the felling, it directly becomes a mini pile of wood.
After resting for a while, Li Zhiwen's fatigue gradually returned to the green area, Li Zhiwen re-selected a tree, ready to continue working, before that, Li Zhiwen turned his head and looked around, there were still many companions wielding axes like him, and seven or eight could be seen at a glance, one of them seemed to be in the same group, and the others did not know each other.
This is due to the fact that each experimenter scanned the real face, so although they all have fake names in the game, their faces cannot be deceived.
It is said that in the future, these data will be emptied, and when the game is officially operational, although the game characters can only be bound to an ID card, they can indeed be pinched, which is undoubtedly a good thing for a guy like Li Zhiwen who looks more sorry for the audience.
Before starting, Li Zhiwen opened the attribute panel and looked at it, he focused on his arm strength, waist strength and physical growth, this data can only be seen now, these data will be hidden when it is officially operated, and now these data belong to welfare, and all the personnel participating in the engineering test will know, how to make the character grow as soon as possible.
Li Zhiwen feels that these settings are very close to reality, or the reality of being datad, it is said that such complex and delicate settings put a lot of pressure on the server, but Li Zhiwen feels that it is worth it, which plays a huge role in strengthening the sense of substitution in the game.
At least, Li Zhiwen likes this setting very much, and he likes the feeling of watching himself grow up little by little.
Logging can improve arm strength, waist strength and physique, and can also slightly improve the strength of the lower limbs, but there is almost no improvement in the spiritual aspect, and more delicate work is needed to improve the spiritual aspect, such as wood carving and the like, and now Li Zhiwen has not mastered this skill.
In this game, the characters also have levels, but the character level is not to fight monsters or do tasks to accumulate experience points, but an evaluation data obtained after extremely complex calculations of the basic qualities and skills of the game characters, as for how to calculate Li Zhiwen does not know.
However, what engineering data are used as references, Li Zhiwen can find the correlation at a glance, simply put, the simple improvement of a certain quality has a limited impact on the level, and the improvement of the level is a reaction to the comprehensive strength, in short, you simply increase the arm strength and waist strength by two levels, the character level will not move, if the arm strength, waist strength, and lower limb strength are raised by one level, then the character level can be increased by one level.
In this way, there is no hope of spending money to improve the quality level of the character itself, which must be achieved through the hard work and training of the player.
As for upgrading the level by acquiring skills, Li Zhiwen is not very clear, but I am afraid that this aspect cannot be achieved with money, because the team leader emphatically said that skills can only be obtained from the gods, and what the gods want is neither money nor things, but the power of faith.
Li Zhiwen, like everyone else, was very curious about the skills and wanted to get them, but the team leader did not give a specific strategy.
However, there are smart people who have found some clues, and in fact, Li Zhiwen has also found this clue.
In the resume of the Lord of Dreams that he recited, it is clearly mentioned what this god was doing in the fifteenth year of the new calendar, this year, this god happened to be the time of reincarnation and awakening, and at this moment, this god who was reincarnated as a beautiful girl was serving as a priest in the temple of the new village.
If you want to gain the favor of the Lord of Dreams and acquire skills, you only need to find answers from this priest.
In fact, the priest is constantly sending out various quests, but unfortunately, these quests to collect wood, stones, and ingredients are all paid for in-game currency, and have nothing to do with faith or skill.
An hour later, Li Zhiwen's package was full, and he hurried back to the village, which was not far from the felling woods, but it was only ten minutes away, and the task was handed in in the form of a copy, which meant that no matter how many people arrived at the same time, there was no blockage or delay in the conversation with the priestess.
"Priest, I'm here to submit the harvesting task."
"Okay, thank you for your dedication to the temple, a total of thirty-two units of wood I did receive, this is the reward you deserve."
Li Zhiwen habitually took the thirty-two copper plates, he was already a little numb to this process, and was about to close the conversation and turn his head to leave, Li Zhiwen's heart suddenly moved, he looked up at the statue of the Lord of Dreams behind the priestess, and said:
"Priest, can I pray to the Lord of Dreams?"
The priest nodded and smiled slightly:
"Of course."
"However, I don't know how to pray, and I don't know what to offer to the Lord of Dreams."
The priest smiled softer:
"Do you have any wishes?"
"Huh? Aspiration? ”
"Yes, what do you wish for? The Lord of Dreams is the inspiration and witness of dreams, as long as you have a wish and are willing to share it with the Lord of Dreams, then you will receive her blessings, of course, I mean good wishes. ”
Li Zhiwen was a little confused, this seemed to be a little different from the explanation of the Lord of Dreams that he had recited.
"Priest, I have heard that the Lord of Dreams feeds on human dreams, but you are talking about dreams? Is there a difference? ”
The priest laughed:
"That's your misunderstanding, the Lord of Dreams is indeed born from human dreams, but the Lord of Dreams does not govern human dreams, God is born of human beings, and in turn, protects human beings."
Li Zhiwen thought for a while:
"Priest, can you elaborate more?"
"To put it simply, the Lord of Dreams does not allow you to have a good dream, and even if you could, there is no point in doing so, and the gods do not only ask for humans, so the Lord of Dreams repays humans by blessings."
"But... Can I be blessed simply by telling the Lord of Dreams about my dreams? ”
The priest smiled:
"Why don't you try it yourself?"
Li Zhiwen sighed, Li Zhiwen has experienced this kind of dialogue several times, although the details are slightly different, but the core content is the same, and in the end, the priestess did not clearly explain how to contribute the power of faith to obtain the blessing of the Lord of Dreams.
As for praying and sharing dreams, Li Zhiwen has tried many times, but the problem is that he has not received any blessing effect, in fact, it is not that Li Zhiwen is too stupid, but that everyone has not received the blessing of the Lord of Dreams.
However, Li Zhiwen still plans to try again.
He walked up the steps into the small temple, where there was no incense, only a statue of the Lord of Dreams looking down on him, and the light and shadow shining through the window.
Li Zhiwen looked up at the statue of the Lord of Dreams, and found that the priestess standing at the door was very imaginary, Li Zhiwen couldn't help but scold, didn't the priestess find out about this?
Restrained some divergent thoughts, Li Zhiwen turned his head to look outside, the priestess was still standing at the door, looking at Li Zhiwen silently, as for the other testers, they couldn't see it at all now, this was an independent small copy.
Li Zhiwen turned around and slowly knelt on the mat under the statue, fortunately no one was watching, otherwise Li Zhiwen would be embarrassed to kneel down towards a virtual statue.
"Sincerity is spirituality."
The priestess suddenly said, Li Zhiwen was shocked, he had tried many times before, but the priestess didn't say this, could it be...
Li Zhiwen recalled, could it be the change caused by the accumulation of prayers? Or do you do the tasks by yourself to accumulate the hidden contribution value up to the standard...
For a while, Li Zhiwen's brain started quickly, and his face was a little red with excitement.
The priestess was very patient, just standing at the door with a smile and looking at Li Zhiwen, but the smile seemed very mechanical.
Li Zhiwen felt that he should be more serious this time, although he was also serious a few times before, but this time he was more serious, anyway, no one here could see it.
"Lord of Dreams, I don't know if you can hear the wishes, I really want to be strong, I don't want to be in the crowd anymore, I don't want to live the same life as everyone else, I want to control my own destiny... But I didn't know what to do, and I tried hard, but I found that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break the shackles that bound me, and there seemed to be something in the dark that I couldn't fight again, and it was pulled back into the mud again and again..."
At the beginning, Li Zhiwen still didn't get into the play, but as he spoke, Li Zhiwen really got serious, everyone actually has a dream, or once had a dream, and those who don't have dreams are poor people who are rubbed by the cruel reality to give up, Li Zhiwen at least hasn't given up treatment.
Anyway, no one saw it here, and no one knew what Li Zhiwen had done or said, Li Zhiwen forgot that it was just a game, and completely vented his suppressed emotions in his heart.
