52. The first issue of "Under the Moon".
The login time of new players is stuck at the end of today's game time for old players, so whether it is Happy Stick or Niu Niu, there is no way to "level up" with their good friends and sisters for a long time.
They can only tell the newcomers about the various settings and gameplay of this hardcore game as much as possible before going offline, and tell them that they must not be sent to death.
The death penalty in this game is a bit heavy.
However, when they saw the newcomers holding tattered weapons, wearing tattered armor and gearing up, looking forward to it, the old players had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
Perhaps the "tragedy" before the bionic snail is going to be repeated.
"Don't worry about it, Bang Guy."
Before going offline, Woo Meow comforted the worried happy bar:
"You don't understand this game if you don't die once, they are still playing ordinary games with the mentality that something will definitely happen here, even if you explain everything, there will always be all kinds of accidents in such a hardcore and real environment.
You see, the fact that such a clever Lumina can die of slipping feet is very revealing.
Unstoppable!
Relax, it's only three days, can you still catch up with the end of the Cadman City event, and your guys also need time to level up, I got a blood vial from Master Murphy, let's brush up the vault copy together tomorrow? ”
"Okay, let's make an appointment to go online tomorrow."
Happy Bar sighed.
There were too many people he brought in this time, and he found that he couldn't manage it a little, and he felt a little wrong in his heart, but soon he came back to his senses, looked at Brother Meow in surprise, and asked:
"Where did you get the blood vial? Is it the kind that opens the seal of the vault? Why didn't I? Okay, you're a meow, and you've got a hidden mission to eat alone, right? ”
"No, it's not a task."
Woo Meow proudly touched the dirty psionic bag on his waist and whispered:
"Mistress Murphy got three blood vials in total, and gave me one, Niu Niu, and one that might have been left for the five guys on the 'night shift'.
I suspect it might be a player perk given after the friendship is brushed up? ”
"Damn! Do you really want to lick NPCs? ”
Happy Stick had an expression of "I'm a dignified person, I shouldn't lick a dog", but after seeing that Brother Meow got tangible benefits, his heart also began to turn.
But this guy is quite cunning.
He knew that Brother Woo Meow and the group of student parties had been circling Master Murphy, and their favorability must have flown up, and he would come over to it, wouldn't it be like kneeling to ask for food?
No way!
Can't be underestimated!
Gotta change NPC lick... Uh, no, can you call it licking by brushing your favorability?
It's part of the game mechanics, so don't play it if you're not happy.
With this in mind, Happy Stick went offline in the shack safe zone reserved for male players, and as the game world dimmed, the eyes almost seamlessly switched to the VR reality mode of the game headset.
Brother Bang didn't take off his helmet immediately, but habitually went around the forum.
As a former professional, he has become accustomed to collecting some scattered information from various sources, and he may be able to find some surprises, and a few minutes later, just as he was about to take off his helmet and go for a run outside, he suddenly found that there was an extra post in the forum, and almost as soon as it was posted, it was immediately pinned and even refined. ,
"Blanch! Are PY transactions now not avoided? ”
Happy Bar complained, and then clicked on the post, and then found that there was a reason why this post was refined and pinned.
The name is also strange.,It's called "Under the Moon.,There's a look like it's marked with "The First Issue" at the back.,It looks like it's going to make a series.。
As for who wrote it, just look at the name.
"Yo, brothers and sisters who are still fighting in Cadman City, everyone roars, this is your dear brother Aru, between the new players entering the game may encounter all kinds of problems, so I decided to summarize the game information I have collected so far to solve your doubts.
First of all, the background of the game!
"Real Otherworld" is set in a magic-like super medieval background world, why is it called "super medieval"?
Because this world not only has psionic powers, but also very cool fantasy engineering, or steam engineering.
My friends and I found steam-powered mechanical refrigerators, automatic sweepers, kitchen helpers and even motorcycle-like three-wheeled walking machines in the ruins of Cadman City, and we took a moment to 'explore' their inner workings (they were actually dismantled, and hopefully their owners didn't pop out of nowhere to trouble us).
In short, we can be sure that the weird-looking things aren't just plausible textures, they're mechanically mechanical.
Below, above.
Pictures, pictures, pictures.
After seeing these terrifyingly sophisticated things, you should have a clearer understanding of the game world you are currently in.
There is technology here, although it is not what we know.
Therefore, don't be discouraged if you choose the 'gunner' profession, maybe you can really use the ultra-advanced steam sniper eight hundred miles away to take the boss's head with one shot, laugh. ”
"Damn!"
Seeing Ah Ru name himself in the post, the happy bar suddenly raised his middle finger in front of his eyes.
But after looking at those unclear pictures sent by Ayu, he still agrees with this speculation of "steam engineering".
Since the game gives the transfer of the gunner's profession, there must be corresponding game content that will be unlocked in the future, and the current difficulties are only temporary, and the future and tomorrow are good.
Hey, the best days are yet to come.
Brother Bang encouraged himself so much, and then continued to read:
"Then, let's talk about our current mainline NPC, Master Murphy, and his 'harem group'.
Mistress Murphy is from the fringe of the Blood Vulture Clan in Cadman City, and according to the details we've heard from the new NPC, Lady Trissy, he was picked up in the city by Lady Tracey in the fall and winter of the gametime epoch 1109 and transformed into a vampire.
He was only 18 years old at the time, but he had already seen a lot of human suffering, so he was determined to change the damn world.
In other words, our wise, handsome and handsome Lord Murphy is actually a 19-year-old 'vampire baby' who is only 1 and a half years old.
However, he was very disgusted with the barbaric atrocities of this world, and believed that there was a way to eliminate all cruel and dark atrocities, so he delved into the Otherworldly Summoning Technique and achieved unprecedented success!
He summoned us!
Fearless warriors from another world, and invited us to participate in his big project that he probably couldn't even say (presumably the development team hadn't prepared it yet).
According to Master Murphy's previous rhetoric and attitude, he should have wanted to grow up slowly with our assistance, but the sudden disaster at Cadman City had shattered his plans.
As a direct result, his current actions have become more proactive and purposeful...
Well, that's not what I said, it's Miss Miriam, the director of the survivor camp.
I'm just summing them up.
Obviously, Master Murphy represents the player's faction in the game, and he will definitely take this opportunity to permanently break away from the Vulture Clan, or rebuild the new Vulture Clan!
Because according to the little information I got from the eldest lady Fimis, the blood vulture clan in the background of the game has all been wiped out in this attack.
So it's irresponsible to guess that after the 'Last Night at Cadman City' special event, players may have a period of peaceful development, and our real starter village will likely be built on the skeleton of the current city ruins and survivor camps.
What is a real hardcore game?
Even the mother's novice village has to be built by the players themselves! This is called top-class torture, okay!
The current main NPCs will be the core characters of the player's faction, so it is absolutely essential to build a good relationship with them.
This brings us to the core of this post
About favorability!
What can be confirmed at the moment is that there is a hidden friendship system in the game, which can be seen in the different attitudes of Master Murphy towards us old players and new players to the game.
At present, it is speculated that the three players with the highest favorability of Lord Murphy should be Brother Woo Meow, Niu Niu and Sister Lumi.
Here is a point of criticism of pigeon treasure this waste!
Although he was also one of the two players in the first round of testing, he wasted a good opportunity, resulting in his impression in the mind of Master Murphy not as vivid as the above three, but it was not a big problem!
Because after a few days of observation by Ah Ru, I have discovered the secret of favorability.
Our current NPCs all have 'hobbies'!
For example, the white-haired NPC Maxim is biased towards combat, favoring warriors, fighting alongside him or actively participating in battles can effectively improve friendship, and there is also a dialogue option called 'Challenge Mode'.
I was too timid to try.
But I suspect it should be a more realistic deathmatch mode.
So it's best to brush Maxim's favorability, just fight with him.
Miss Miriam is more rational in favor of fair trade and the collection of intellectual goods.
Our team found a copy of "A Brief History of the Vampires of Translancia" in the city, which was an old hardcover edition, and was taken away by Miss Miriam for 2 gold coins, although we must have been slaughtered, but it did not prevent Miss Miriam from being happy.
So it's safe to assume that finding precious books is definitely one of the ways to brush Miss Miriam's favorability.
In addition, she is currently the director of the survivor camp, and if she is willing to help out and complete the camp's non-combat missions, she should also be able to increase her friendship.
However, Miss Miriam's position among the current NPCs is actually quite awkward.
It can be seen from her attitude that she is very disgusted with vampires, and she has always been a marginal person in the current plot development, so whether her favorability should be brushed up or not, the benevolent and the wise will see the wise.
Now there's the main thing!
Miss Fimis and Lady Tris, the Witch.
The former's identity has been confirmed as the daughter of the current head of the Blood Vulture Clan, the Blood Princess of the Blood Vulture Clan.
The latter is even more impressive, as she is certainly a relative of Lord Murphy, and most importantly, she is currently the only character who is clearly related to the main NPC.
It is certain that in the follow-up plot, Lady Trissy's role may even be higher than that of the eldest lady, if Lord Murphy really chooses to break away from the blood vulture family and open up a new force.
The eldest lady's three-no personality has always been familiar to old players.,To put it simply, it's a tsundere rich Lori.,Cold and scratchy.,Always on top.,The kind of guy who will be scolded if you don't say a good word.。
However, the way her opinion increased was surprisingly simple.
My companion Meow Shark found the relics of several vampires in the ruins, and then took them to the eldest lady and got her thanks, so the most effective way to improve friendship at the moment is to 'dig graves', uh... I mean looking through the ruins for everything related to the Vulture Vampires.
In addition, the eldest lady is a very professional psychic and a good teacher, so if you can discuss some psionic issues with her in a humble way, or find some psionic texts to offer, you should also be able to increase your favorability.
Judging from the current situation, the reputation of the eldest lady is basically a must-have existence for players who are interested in taking the caster's route.
This is because she is the only one who will explicitly teach the player psionic skills. ”
"This guy doesn't look reliable, but it's unexpectedly powerful!"
Seeing the happy bar here, I immediately liked this post.
At the current stage when the game has only been open for 10 days, such a set of posts related to reputation and favorability have been summarized, which shows that this guy Aru has indeed noticed a lot of unrevealed details in the game and has given his own analysis.
This alone makes Brother Bang have a good impression of this kid, who doesn't love Sao Nian, who is very reliable and willing to work hard?
He grinned, adjusted the game headset to "visual" mode, made the VR interface floating in front of him translucent, walked to the balcony like a motorcycle helmet, lit himself a cigarette, and continued to check the last part of Aru's post.
This part is simple:
"Finally, let's talk about the increase in the opinion of Lady Triss the 'Witch', and besides, Lady Tracey is the most sultry character I've ever seen in the game, and no one should disagree with that, right?
Compared to the arrogant eldest lady and the marginal Miriam, although Lady Triss has just appeared, her attitude towards players can be described as spoiled, second only to Lord Murphy's enthusiasm.
In order to gain Lady Traces' personal reputation, you must first complete a round of Quests for the Twelve Rings that she has given you in order to gain her initial trust.
The Twelve Rings quest is completely random.
The seven of us on the team were given 7 completely different tasks, but none of them were very difficult, and we could find everything in the ruins of the city.
Here's the point!
Lady Tracey has been badly injured and needs spirits to numb the pain, so the main way to increase Lady Tracey's favorability is to give it wine!
Yes, you heard it right!
The highest-end favorability boost is so unpretentious and boring.
This is not Aru's personal conjecture, it has been verified!
Pigeon Treasure spent five hours finding almost forty bottles of various wines in the ruins of Cadman City, and gave them to Mrs. Triss before going offline, and guess what?
Mrs. Tracey not only praised Pigeon Bo for his wisdom and enthusiasm, but even gave him a physical reward!
An alchemist's codex written in her youth (at least 350 years ago)...
Pigeon is currently the first alchemist apprentice in the game.
That's right!
This game is set by a 'skill book'!
That Codex can be turned into a sub-class alchemist after reading it carefully, and most importantly, it is not a one-time consumable that can be read over and over again to improve skill proficiency.
The only pity is that the book can't be lent to anyone else without Mrs. Trissy's permission, and it can basically be considered a binding.
Of course, if Pigeon Bo is willing to risk the opinion of zero, try to PY privately with other players, then I didn't say.
It's a free game.
But it does have a set of rules that we don't see, and they are not hard and fast rules that mean we can cross those lines at any time, provided that we can afford to break the rules.
Ha, that's all the content of the first issue of "Under the Moon", I hope to help new players, goodbye, everyone, we'll see you next time!
As for whether there is a second issue, it depends on everyone's follow-up, by~"
