As Vice-Captain Carter led the team back to the village on the vast Nehemian plains, the group finally arrived at their destination.

And the eye-catching scenery also made Roddy, whose head was dizzy because of the wine, shiver instantly.

"Nolan Village".

Luo Di looked at the wooden sign at the entrance of the village, sat on the back of the horse in a daze, and forgot to dismount for a while.

"Lodi?"

The vice-captain, Carter, led the horse to the stable, and turned back to ask, but the latter swallowed his saliva with difficulty, turned over and dismounted with some stiff movements, and limped after him.

Like all the villages on the border of the Karen Kingdom, the village of Nolan is small in size, with only three or four dirty streets in the middle and vertical, and as the domain of a typical feudal dynasty, the village of Nolan has a manor, which is the property of the lord of Kirk - around the manor, surrounded by sprawling farmhouses and fields, with a population of no more than two hundred, a blacksmith shop, and a simple little square. The largest building is the windmill by the creek, when the farmer has returned to the village and the huge fan blades no longer rotate in the setting sun. The atmosphere here is peaceful and calm, and the occasional barking of dogs and chickens in the village can be heard, and the farmers are talking about various topics after doing their farm work, everything looks like what a normal village should be.

There are no walls or any protective facilities around the village of Nolan, and there are no permanent troops, but because of its special position on the border, the Supreme Lord, Duke Roussiflon, has made an exception to set up two permanent reconnaissance teams here. And Kirk, the original lord of the manor here, basically only comes here once a year, so the biggest leader of this village is the steward sent by the lord to guard the manor - just because the scout team belongs to the duke's direct army, and the butler basically can't control the team that Roddy is in at this time.

It was getting late, and Scout Vice-Captain Carter disbanded the group, carrying a sack of orc heads himself to the room of the commander of both teams, Second Lieutenant Sodin. But because of the drunkenness, Luo Di was dizzy and followed a few "comrades-in-arms" to the shed where the soldiers at the entrance of the village had a collective meal.

His steps drifted a little, and he couldn't tell if it was because of the wound or because of the sip of spirits. Roddy rubbed his eyes several times, but he still felt like he was in a dream—as he became aware of an important issue that had been overlooked before...

Everything I felt in my body seemed a little too real.

The villagers in the field of vision are dressed simply, the dirt road that runs through the village is occasionally filled with herdsmen driving their flocks of sheep, children playing in the mud on the ground running by, blacksmith shops tinkling, and smoke rising from the chimneys of farmhouses in the setting sun... All of this made him feel as if there weren't so many realistic details in the game.

Walking all the way into the humble "canteen", Luo Di sat on the wooden bench, listening to the "comrades-in-arms" next to him who were supposed to be NPCs talking about today's battle, he looked at everything in front of him with complicated eyes, and his heart was filled with irrepressible panic...

This... What the hell is going on?

There were a lot of questions in his heart—what he wanted to know most about right now was... What is it like to enter a place that seems to exist in reality?

What about game servers? What about the menu? What about the exit option?

For a modern person who was still thinking about whether he was going to eat McDonald's tonight, it is unrealistic to suddenly come to such a world and not have chaos in his mind.

"Quitting the game..."

He whispered and began to try the voice command of "Ripp", as a holographic immersive online game, Roddy preferred to believe that this was a bug rollback of the game at this time, but with the failure of the command to quit the game, his mood sank little by little.

“… This one doesn't work. ”

"It's not okay to force offline...?"

"Is there any mistake..."

The scouts who were eating next to them looked at Roddy muttering something they didn't understand, and their eyes looked a little strange, but Roddy obviously didn't have time to talk to them, and he was still there with his head down like a mage chanting a spell...

Unable to take effect with all the instructions, Roddy pursed his lips and thought for a long time, before finally deciding to make the last attempt - he no longer spoke in Chinese, but in Bringa:

People Properties Panel.

"it!"

The scout who was drinking soup with a bowl of soup on the side squirted a table with a "poof" because of his exclamation—Roddy hurriedly apologized to the other party, and then sat back down, looking ahead with excitement and surprise.

He looked at the clear list of attributes, and suddenly decided in his heart that this was a rollback bug in "Ripping Soil", and he was full of joy and ready to call out the "quit the game" option, but the anticipation on his face froze on his face in the next moment.

Or not?!

The coolness in his heart gradually spread, and Luo Di immediately began to make various attempts, listing almost all the menus that could be called, including the task bar, equipment bar, character attribute bar, etc., but he couldn't find the "main menu" to quit the game!

The thought that I had never been sure about resurfaced again—could it be... I am not in the game world, but really in the real world?

Taking a few deep breaths, Roddy suddenly remembered a way to check if he was in the game - all the food in Ripsoil was edible, but it never brought a taste sensation. Just as drinking alcohol doesn't lead to drunkenness, food is never tasteless, because holographic simulation techniques simply don't meet this requirement, and game companies have never done extra research in this area...

He lowered his head, looked at the black, unleavened bread in front of him, swallowed, and broke a piece with a little solemnity.

Looking at the crumbs of bread that had fallen on the table, Roddy's heart had actually sunk to the bottom, because the game didn't have such realistic physics - but he still apprehensively stuffed the bread into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Sour, bitter, dry. The brown bread tasted 10,000 times worse than the toast that Roddy bought at the supermarket, but the bad taste of the bread paled in comparison to the facts it proved...

At this point, he finally began to realize that he might never be able to go back to his old life.

This is the realm of the real world, and I have actually crossed into the realm of the real world like "Rippling"?!

Nervously forcing himself to chew on the bread, Roddy was stunned for a few moments, then began to try to adjust to the facts at hand.

When there are few emotions in the technique house, Roddy will not be at a loss like a woman for a few days to calm down, he thought about it, and he decided to look at his attributes again.

And then... He sighed heavily.

The panel full of titles and various values was now empty like a swept street, and there was a basic class name of [Legionnaire] hanging alone, and the "Level 1" in the back looked like the middle finger that the goddess of fate raised to herself, making his lips tremble twice for no reason.

Below is a row of attributes:

Force: 13 (+3)

Dexterity: 8 (+1)

Spirit: 6 (+1)

Constitution: 9 (+3)

Intelligence: 5 (+1)

The attributes in parentheses are the growth value brought by the basic profession of [Legionnaire], known as the first choice of the profession of the Department of Human Physics, [Legionnaire] is also Roddy's original choice, so he is no stranger to this profession, the attributes in the game cannot be assigned by himself, and each upgrade is automatically increased or decreased according to the characteristics of the profession, so he doesn't care about these, as long as the level is raised, everything is easy to say.

With these thoughts in his head, he couldn't help but feel a little funny - in the realm of the real world, can he still upgrade?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the experience bar - his expression suddenly became very exciting. The 159 experience gained from taking out the orcs is clearly shown there.

Laughing helplessly, Roddy temporarily accepted this ridiculous world. Then he began to think about his battle today - after thinking about it, he actually didn't have a lot of experience. After all, Nolan Village at this time is probably no different from Nolan Village during the "Novice Village" period in the later generations, when the player dared to trouble the orcs at level 1? It's just a matter of killing wolves in the wild, running errands between villages to deliver a letter, and catching a few rabbits. Yesterday's encounter with the orc scout team is all level 2-4 guys, and such enemies are a headache for beginner players, because they are in packs, and occasionally there are wolves to help, and they are usually more than lucky.

Roddy looked at it, it takes 300 experience to reach the second level, and at this time it is still 141, which is already halfway through. He exhaled the character's equipment slots again—a total of fourteen slots—head, neck, shoulders, chest, arms, bracers, belts, legs, feet, special ornaments, rings, and weapons for the left and right hands.

Of course, it's mostly empty.

Counting the two ring bars, a total of 14 positions are enough to see the importance of "equipment" for gamers, in the later stages of the game, there are often situations where the attributes attached to a piece of equipment are more than ten times the attributes of the character itself, and the "high play" in the game is all a powerful player with a piece of superb equipment.

Luo Di thinks that his skills are not inferior to anyone, if he hadn't changed careers to PVP later than others, he would have been among the top of the first echelon, but looking at the equipment bar at this moment, he still sighed melancholy - a tattered white equipment with no attributes at all, and a short sword with attack power that could not be lower made him no different from NPC passers-by. There is only one ornament on the neck to indicate "equipped".

Roddy didn't look closely, just assumed that it was some kind of ordinary chain, because there were no additional attributes for equipment in the attribute bar.

Thinking of the orc horn bow that was confiscated yesterday, Luo Di was in a better mood at this time, exhaled out the attribute bar and looked at his blood volume - 72/90, he actually felt weirdly tight in his heart, but he shook his head, he also knew that there was no "blood bottle" or herbs in this kind of place to speed up blood recovery.

Closing these options, Roddy's gaze turned back to him and he couldn't help but think about his current situation.

This is Nolan Village... Nolan Village...

His brows furrowed more and more, and his heart was tangled in recalling his memory of the experience in the game - wasn't Nolan Village completely destroyed by the orcs a long time ago? Before Roddy crossed here, it had long been a supply depot in the orc-occupied area, how could there be humans?!

Not only Nolan Village, but in Roddy's "Ripper" game career, the orcs who infiltrated and raided from the northwest almost encroached on the entire western territory of the Cullen Kingdom... This is inevitably related to the incompetence and spineless royal family of the Rusiflon family, and the city of Hollier, as the stronghold of the Rusiflon family, has long become a bridgehead for the orcs to invade the Karen Kingdom...

Unknown circumstances made Roddy more and more irritable, and he tried to calm his rapid breathing, got up and walked to the pool next to the shed to wash his face, but was completely stunned when he reached out to touch the water.

An unfamiliar face was reflected in Qing Shui's reflection, and Roddy swore that he would never forget what he looked like, but at this moment... He did know what was wrong.

It seems that he has become another person, and he has come to this strange game world, and he is in a strange point in time!

Not far away, several scouts who had previously been dismissive of Roddy were obviously in awe of him after experiencing today's events, looking at him in a daze, they didn't dare to say the words of ridicule when they saw him, but then these scouts gradually noticed the strangeness of the atmosphere-

Because Roddy stared at the pool for five minutes.

"Lo... Lodi? ”

"Huh?"

Awakened, Roddy raised his head suddenly, his confused gaze gradually regained focus, he looked at the scout who asked loudly, and said thoughtlessly: "What day is today?" ”

This sentence was very strange, which made the scout who was about to answer the question stunned for a moment, and originally wanted to say whether the other party was stupid, but thinking of Luo Di's performance today, he still replied cautiously: "April 10." ”

"What year?"

This question made the other soldiers in this humble shed turn their heads, the death of several scouts today made the atmosphere here very dull, but Roddy's question obviously made some people find it funny, and the leader of the scouts, Ruger, scolded and replied: "Did you fall from your horse today?" I don't know what year I don't know? ”

The disdainful tone proved that he didn't take Roddy seriously at all, but the few surviving scouts of the second team had a much better attitude, swallowing their spit and answering honestly: "This year is the year 588 of the Elon calendar. ”

After saying this, everyone saw that Luo Di's body trembled suddenly.
