Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes and found himself standing in a ruined temple-like place. The decoration in this can not see which era of the style, knock on the pillar and there is a very strong echo, it is estimated that the age of the building is at most ten years, not the kind of dilapidated dangerous building, but it can be seen that it has been no one has taken care of it for a long time. Lu Yu saw that the beams and pillars were covered with cobwebs, and the ground was also covered by a thick layer of dust. Looking deeper, there is a laughing Maitreya statue standing in the center of the wall, but even this Buddha statue is 'covered' with a thick gray net and dust, unrecognizable, the original colored body peels off layer by layer, and even the smiling face that symbolizes 'sex' looks so embarrassed.
Looking out through the crumbling wood-framed window, Lu Yu could only see a half-human-tall weed, and sand in the distance. This is obviously another wilderness, otherwise this temple would not be so dilapidated.
(But build a temple of laughing Maitreya on a deserted hill...... No matter how you look at it, it's weird. )
Lu Yu only noticed the strange outfit on his body at this time. At this time, he was wearing a set of antique clothes, the upper body was a plain white 'color' undershirt, and a light blue 'color' outer robe, the robe hung down to the length of the ground, dragging as if he was about to step on it and fall, only around the waist with a pure black 'color' belt was simply tied. And his lower body is a plain 'color' long 'pants', which feels very unpleasant when it is loose. Looking down again, what is stepping on his feet is no longer the familiar appearance of "Ben Lei", but a pair of white "colored" cotton shoes, and the soles of his feet are faintly floating and powerless when he walks, as if he is stepping on the cotton "flower".
Even his natural curls, which were always 'messy', were simply tied up by a head rope at this time - of course, it still looked 'messy'.
Lu Yu's first reaction was to try to jump, and then concentrated his 'spirit' and made a side kick towards the air in front of him. This kick was as fast as thunder, crisp and neat, and was completely unaffected by the bloated clothes on his body, showing that Lu Yu's skills had improved greatly after he was promoted to D rank in his martial arts evaluation.
But the point is not what the posture of this kick is, Lu Yu saw what he wanted to see in this kick he kicked out himself - a faint arc of electricity.
This shows that the "nature" of "launching a charged attack" that comes with "Ben Lei" is still playing a role. Obviously, it's still equipped, and the game he's in front of him shouldn't be the same "role-playing" type as last time.
"I see, did you adjust the appearance of the equipment in order to harmonize with the surrounding environment......
Lu Yu rolled up his sleeves, only to see a circle of white 'colored' cloth on his wrist, it seems that although the "cotton bracer" is a useless equipment, the game still faithfully adjusted its appearance and made it. Obviously, the background of this game is in a certain ancient dynasty, or a world like aerial martial arts, in short, if you walk here in modern clothes, it will inevitably feel quite weird. Although the NPCs in the system have some kind of adaptive mechanism that can blur the oddities on the player's body (that is, as Lu Yu encountered in the "Dead Silence" game before, the NPC does not feel strange to any weapon that the player takes out), but for the player himself, seeing other people in the classical martial arts world actually wearing body armor or sneakers or something like that can greatly affect the game experience.
(I'm afraid that what I don't want to prevent is not affecting the game experience, but I'm afraid of being recognized as a person or an NPC on the other side...... )
When Lu Yu thought of this, his heart suddenly sank. In the previous "hide and seek" game, the system took advantage of the blind spots in the thinking of both players and arranged for players to fight with different identities, and Lu Yu also killed the opposite player as a last resort. If this time the game is also designed to hide the true identity of the enemy......
With a twist of his mind, his wrist flipped, and a great sword flashing with aqua blue light suddenly appeared in his hand. The "Blue Star Shining Sword" is still the appearance of the Western-style one-handed sword, and it has not changed into the appearance of an ancient sword because it has entered the classical world. After all, the weapon is not as good as the armor on the body, once the form changes, the usage or something must also be changed, the ancient sword and the big sword are different from the form, the grip to the attack distance, if the system makes changes without authorization, it will definitely affect the player's own play. Not to mention that those firearms and weapons can't be transformed into anything in the ancient context, is it a bow or a crossbow issued to you? Repeating machine bows? Sniper crossbow or shoulder-mounted blasting crossbow?
After confirming that the weapon was still the same as it was, Lu Yu's heart relaxed a little. Even though the system could theoretically change the visual appearance of an object to appear different to different players, it could not change the inherent 'nature' of the object itself. For example, even if Lu Yu's current big sword looked like an ancient sword in the eyes of others, as long as it was cut once and felt that it was beyond the attack range of the ancient sword, the other party could immediately react that there was something strange in it. Its size makes it impossible to transform into an ancient sword at its original length - the player is not an NPC, and there is no adaptive mechanic.
Even if the person on the other side can't tell whether it's a player or an NPC for a while, as long as the fight starts and the weapon is lit, you can always tell the difference. It's best that way, at least they don't injure the player by mistake. From this point of view, although the goal of this game is not clear, it will most likely not be a game of confrontation between players.
(No...... It's not so certain right now...... )
Lu Yu was somewhat suspicious. He walked back and forth in the ruined temple, both to help him think, and to familiarize himself with the outfit on his body. Before I knew it, the temple was getting darker and darker, and it was already sunset.
"Oh no, it's been so long! …… Anyway, that guy Wei won't run far. ”
Lu Yu suddenly came back to his senses and found that he was patronizing and thinking about his mind just now, but the person stayed in the broken temple and there was nothing at all. He only entered the game today after meeting him in Wei Simeng's landing hall, and according to my experience, players who enter the game in this way will definitely enter the same game, and will generally be assigned to a fairly close starting point, so this is also a necessary method for guilds and individual teams to participate in the game. It can be inferred from this that although Wei Simeng is not by his side at this time, the initial place to enter the game should not be far from this ruined temple.
However, the gaming habits of these two men are very different. Just when Lu Yu was still observing the surroundings in the ruined temple, thinking about the meaning behind the game design, Wei Simeng, who woke up in a pavilion halfway up the mountain, had already rolled up his sleeves and walked leisurely down the mountain.
