The so-called virtual reality, to put it bluntly, is the same as time traveling, which is to put an ordinary person into the world of online games. The difference is that anyone who enters this game can get an experience that is better than real life.,It's not as big as the real limitations.,Wear it to ancient times and have to know what to do in Chinese.,Don't use it here.,It's OK to fight monsters and upgrades.。

Fighting monsters and upgrading is the most basic routine in online games, and the same is true for thousands of machines, through fighting monsters, players can gain experience for upgrading, they can get currency and materials for trading, defeat advanced monsters, and they can also get props and equipment that improve various attributes of characters.

Although fighting monsters is one of the most important game elements, it is not the only one, players can also get the same harvest as fighting monsters through mining, gathering, manufacturing, etc., but the excitement of fighting monsters is impossible to experience, on the contrary, the fun of working in these fields is also not enjoyed by players who are keen on fighting monsters.

The elder is the head of the novice village, and in the system settings, he is responsible for providing explanations of game functions for novice players. Last night he told me about the history of Qianji, and this morning, he began to popularize the common sense of the game of Qianji for me.

The elder was wearing a Mao suit and said to me in a very dignified manner: "Development is the first thing you need to do after entering the thousand machines. As for the game's backstory and missions, they don't make any sense in today's post-apocalyptic environment, and everyone just wants to survive. Therefore, in the novice village, you must develop as much as possible with our help, continue to accumulate experience and material wealth, and then try to save the world!"

I nodded: "Listen to what you mean, doesn't it take a lot of time? I understand the principle of sharpening a knife and not cutting wood, but to tell you the truth, I am very anxious to find someone, I am afraid that if the person acts late, what will happen to that person, you also know the situation outside, so messy." ”

The elder asked me, "Who is you?

There is nothing to deny this, I nodded: "Very critical, if this person has an accident, my mentality will definitely explode." ”

The elder frowned: "If you look for someone... It's really not that easy, now that the authority to communicate outside is controlled by large groups, ordinary people can't use it at all, and if they don't have the right to communicate, how can they find a person among these 3 billion people. ”

"Hold it, how many people do you say?"

"More than 3 billion, what's wrong?"

"More than 3 billion players are online at the same time?

"It's rare and strange to see the ancestors ~ The number of simultaneous online players reached 50 billion at the peak of Qianji, which already accounts for ninety percent of the world's total population. ”

After all, it's a future world, and the explosion of population can be understood, but the gap between them is also too big. I said, "The peak was 50 billion, and now it's 3 billion, where are the more than 40 billion people in the middle?"

The elder pointed to the sky: "They all died in the apocalypse, and it is said that their souls wander in this world of thousands of machines in the form of unconscious energy. ”

I was speechless for a while, more than 40 billion victims, no wonder it is said that this world is about to be destroyed, it is really a virtual apocalypse.

The elder said: "I'm shocked, so your mission is very important, what you need to save is not only this world of thousands of machines, but also the real world outside the world of thousands of machines. ”

I said what about the Thousand Machine Development Company? Those technical engineers outside, do they have a way to help this place through the apocalypse, such as writing a code or something, it shouldn't be difficult~

"It's not hard to say, but it's hard to do. The ambition of the thousands of players has long exceeded the load of the program, otherwise the system would not have collapsed. However, there is one thing that we AI NPCs can't figure out, that is, we can't know what the Thousand Machines Development Company is planning, they know the situation here, but there is no other response except for actively closing the new account registration function, which is really strange......"

"Can you communicate with the game developers?"

"No, we can just feel the changes in the system, in layman's terms, we are roundworms in the stomach of this thousand-machine world. ”

Forehead... It's really popular.

The elder continued the previous topic: "I can give you a reassurance about finding people, Qianji has entered the transition period before destruction, and those who can't adapt to it and those who are too weak have already been eliminated. Those who can survive in this period, even if they survive, are good people, and if the person you are looking for can survive until now, then he will not die easily. On the contrary, if you blindly intervene before you have absolute strength, it will bring danger to the other party, so I still stick to the previous plan, you have to develop before you go out. ”

What the elder said makes sense, I know that this matter can't be emotional, and I ran out recklessly at my current level, and I can't deal with any bandits. The love for Heeharu can drive me crazy, but it doesn't bring much fighting power.

I said to the elder, "Okay, what do I do?"

The elder was very happy to see that I really understood the truth and the powerful relationship, and a yellow smiling face animation emoji appeared above his head. This is also one of the game elements retained by the thousand-machine system, and the elder said that players outside can also randomly appear various animated expressions according to their emotions.

"Ancestor, your task is to save the world, we must not be impatient in the face of such a difficult task, only by calming down can we develop steadily. ”

I solemnly promised: "I will do my best." ”

The elder smiled and said, "Okay, then we will officially start your development journey." Come, let me introduce you to a person who is the mentor of our novice village who introduces the operation interface for novice players - the watchmaker. You need to learn about several interface functions that are very important to you in Qianji. ”

We stopped at a small workshop, and the elder pointed to a middle-aged man with monocles and dressed as a gentleman and said, "That's him." ”

There was a yellow exclamation mark on the top of the watchmaker's head, and I walked up to him and stretched out my hand to say hello: "Hello, watchmaker~"

The watchmaker's face lit up with my greeting, and then the blue exclamation mark clanged, and then it turned into a blue question mark.

The watchmaker did not pay attention to me immediately, but cried to the elder: "This is the feeling, I miss it so much!"

The village chief smiled bitterly: "Enjoy it, remember to have less dogma, and let our ancestors develop as soon as possible." ”

The clockmaker nodded in agreement, and the elder took my farewell and told me to go to the village square for lunch at noon.

As I watched the old man leave, the watchmaker said respectfully to me, "Ancestor, you haven't eaten breakfast, have you?

"Hey~ Master don't be so polite, I'm a student in front of you. ”

"You can't do it, you have a lot of responsibility, but it's not comparable to my little NPC. ”

"Can you not call me ancestor, it sounds awkward to the thief, not kind at all. ”

"Oh, good, good... Then can you not call me watchmaster, if this gets out, you have to let the big tongue call it a bitch or a dick. ”

"Hahahaha, you are so humorous~"

"Hahahaha, what do people say seriously......"

"Then you continue to call me ancestor, I really like the title of watchman~"

“......”

The watchmaker entered the house, and a young woman in costume was busy at the table.

The watch master introduced: "This is the cheap inside~"

The young woman in costume bowed to me generously, and I sincerely admired: "Mrs. Sister-in-law has a really good temperament, this dress is not cheap, your family must be very rich." ”

The watch master said politely: "What kind of money, it's just that after the collapse of the system, we are not so restrained, and we just use our authority to have fun, hey~ We will never forget the origin and duty of the poor peasants." Hehe, come, today is seafood, steamed abalone with deep sea purple cucumber mixed with garlic, early in the morning, let's focus on nutrition, don't be surprised~"

Although I haven't said it, I left the Sword Sect world and came here, and I was still a little worried about the quality of life. I'm used to being pampered, and in this virtual apocalypse, I'm afraid to live a life of drinking blood. As you can see from last night's feast, at least I don't have to worry about this until I leave the novice village, and the routine breakfast at the watchmaker's house in front of my eyes was an eye-opener for me.

There are two dishes on the table, abalone and sea cucumber, and each dish occupies half of the table. This is also too extravagant, Qianji's end-of-the-day situation won't be eaten by them, right?

The abalone is juicy, and the sea cucumber is delicious, no wonder the elders look down on the immortals, this is much more delicious than the meal that Liu Laoliu treated, and it is more delicious than the dish that Qingchun burned with Shennong ruler in the world of Sword Sect.

Seeing my gaffe, the watchmaker smiled and said, "The biggest charm of virtual reality is to enhance the experience, and food is one of the most direct experiences. Every dish here is calculated by a large database of thousands of machines, scientifically proportioned, virtually obtained excellent ingredients, and presented in the most perfect way, which is simply a work of art. ”

I deeply believe that science and technology are indeed the primary productive forces.

The watchmaker is a very reliable person, knows what his job is, and while I am feasting, he seizes all the time to popularize the common sense of the operation interface for me.

"Normally, every newly registered novice player will go through the basic training of the system instructor before entering the game. You have a special channel and obviously haven't experienced this kind of training. But it doesn't matter, even if they are novice players in normal channels, many are also anxious, unwilling to accept the training of the system tutor, and are in a hurry to enter the game. In order to help them understand the operation interface, I have it. ”

I listened as I ate, nodding my head from time to time, and the young woman in the costume kept bringing freshly cooked abalone and sea cucumber from the back kitchen, filling the empty parts of the table that I had eaten.

"You concentrate and try to say the words 'state of the person'. ”

I basically understood what he meant, meditated for a moment, and then meditated on the mission status in my mind.

With a pleasant sound, a translucent digital list appeared in front of me.

I ducked back in fright, and the list followed the angle of my gaze, remaining directly in front of my line of sight.

The watchmaker applauded: "Wow~ It can be mastered so quickly, ordinary people can't easily concentrate, but they have to practice many times." ”

I sighed, "I used to be an ancestor... When I was a sect master, I often had to meditate and cultivate, so this kind of thing was nothing to me. ”

The clockmaker nodded: "Very good, this is a very useful talent, it will greatly improve the speed of replenishment in battle for quick outfits." Okay, silently cancel the retraction of the character's status, and then try to summon the 'package'. ”

I said I hadn't looked at it yet, so I'd have to study it for a while.

The watchmaker smiled: "This is not in a hurry, the first thing we need to do is to familiarize ourselves with the operation interface, and you can slowly study the things that are familiar with the content." ”

I said: "How can it be so casual, the state of the character should be very important, for example, you look at this, such a red road, and flashing, isn't it a danger signal?"

The watchmaker looked at it, and his face changed rapidly: "It's really important, this is satiety information, and you can hold it up." ”

Me: "......"
