When I logged in to the game on Wednesday night this week, my personal information changed again::Mental Force Field: 3 (it was 2); Mental power: 29 (original 28); Stamina: 15; Field energy: 30 (was 20). With a mental force field value of 3, her perception can reach a range of 1 meter around her body. Now the clarity of her perception of objects has been enhanced, and the speed of recognition of her surroundings has also increased compared to before, and due to the expansion of her perception range, her ability to predict her surroundings has also increased, and she can act faster than before.
By Tuesday, she was able to maintain a 50-centimeter sensing range around her body and walk a 120-metre passage in 40 minutes. When the mental force field value rose to 3 on Wednesday, it took 30 minutes to walk the 120-meter-long passage with a 1-meter perception range around her body that day, and 25 minutes on Thursday, and when she completed the passage of the 120-meter-long advanced practice room in 20 minutes on Saturday, the system informed her that she could enter the game scene of the mental force field.
On Sunday, Kong Xiuying's consciousness entered Ping'an Town in the spiritual force field space with Yun Zhongyue. When Yun Zhongyue entered Ping'an Town, the display of personal information was different from before: Spiritual Force Field: 3; Mental Power: 29; Strength: 15; Stamina: 15; Field energy: 30; HP: 290. When Yun Zhongyue entered Ping'an Town, he also received a welcome message from Ping'an Town: "Welcome to the 32nd player to enter Ping'an Town." ”
Ping'an Town is an antique town, the area of the town is about one square kilometer, the town is surrounded by a wall, the east and west of the wall open four gates, north and south, each gate has 5 NPC guards.
There are some shops in the town, there are pharmacies that sell medicines, and there are equipment stores that sell equipment; There are restaurants and teahouses; There are clothing stores, there are grocery stores; There are blacksmith shops and carpenters' shops; There are stables for renting horses, and there are kennels for renting hunting dogs; There are barracks for renting out NPC mercenaries; There are mercenary unions that issue tasks; There is also a town government. In addition, there are many houses facing the street that are closed, so they should not be used yet.
Kong Xiuying noticed that the houses facing the street in the town are all two-story wooden buildings, and the classical atmosphere is very strong, Kong Xiuying has no research on architecture, but she believes that when Xu Ran comes here, she will be happy to study it, because although Kong Xiuying does not understand, she can also see that the architectural style here is still different from the ancient architectural style of China.
What makes Kong Xiuying feel rare is that there is a medical hall in Ping'an Town, because Yun Zhongyue didn't go in to check, Kong Xiuying doesn't know what it's for, is it here to treat players?
Kong Xiuying noticed that there is no martial arts hall here, and it should be that the players who come here don't need to practice martial arts anymore, so there is no corresponding service.
Entering Ping'an Town for the first time, Yun Zhongyue walked around the town to familiarize herself with the environment and understand the situation; There are about a dozen players who can be seen along the way, but there are more NPCs, and the players are busy with their own things, and some people ask Yun Zhongyue if he wants to join the team, Yun Zhongyue excused himself and said that he just came, and he will talk about it after he is familiar with the situation. Kong Xiuying could feel that due to the unfamiliarity of the situation, Yun Zhongyue didn't want to team up with others casually.
There is a bulletin board in front of the town hall, and there is an introduction to Ping'an Town on the bulletin board: (1) Players cannot attack others in Ping'an Town, any attack on others will be doubled on themselves, and the attacked person will not suffer any damage. (2) Compensation for the destruction of other people's property according to the price. (3) You will not be attacked from outside the town in Heian Town.
There are not many types of medicines in pharmacies, but there are several types of Band-Aids, 3 silver coins for large sizes, 1 silver coin for medium sizes, and 5 copper coins for small sizes. There is an antidote, there is a medicine to stop bleeding, and there is a medicine to return blood, all of which are one silver coin. There are many types of weapons in the equipment store, and there are some other items, a considerable number of which Kong Xiuying has never seen. There are not many clothing styles in the clothing shop, and the materials are from fabric to leather. The NPC mercenaries in the barracks are still the ones they have been in contact with before, but their blood volume is higher and their protective gear is better; The NPC mercenaries here all have 100 HP, each deposit is one gold coin, and the daily rental fee is 5 copper coins.
Yun Zhongyue walked around the town for a while and then came to the mercenary union, there are many tasks in the mercenary union, there are tasks to take alone, and there are tasks to take in teams; There are also dedicated starter quests.
Yun Zhongyue received a novice task with no time limit to complete: "With the help of the recorder, use the mental force field to draw a hologram of a certain area." "The C-level mission that Yun Zhongyue received is the lowest level of the rookie mission. The reward for completing the quest is 2 credits. The recorder is provided by the Mercenary Guild and resembles a headset.
Yun Zhongyue immediately walked out of the south gate of the town and put on the recorder.
What Kong Xiuying didn't expect was that in the town, the light was very sufficient, and there was no problem with visibility, but as soon as he got out of the walled gate, it was foggy and dimly lit outside, and the visibility was almost close to zero.
Yun Zhongyue had already taken out a mask and put it on at this time, she should have come prepared, and then started her journey without hesitation.
