Countless white lights flashed incessantly. When the game officially started, countless players rushed into the second world.
Xiao Hua's figure appeared in the new player village of 2012, the new player square, with a series of white lights. As soon as his vision became clear, after half a month, seeing these buildings with a faint medieval Roman flavor, Xiao Hua couldn't help but be amazed again at these exquisite architectural complexes. It would be more appropriate to call this place a new player town rather than a new player village.
Around many new players are also like Xiao Hua, but after a brief sigh, the players rushed towards the village chief of the new player village, which was more than thirty meters away.
These days, everyone knows that the village chief is their game's mentor. All tasks start with him, and if you want tasks or rewards, go to the village chief!
Xiao Hua chuckled and ran towards the opposite direction of the crowd, heading towards the back of the village. There were no hidden quests in the new player village, and the only quest with the highest reward was on the NPC at the back of the village, a demoralized apprentice librarian. Find him, and as long as you answer a few questions correctly, you'll get the reward.
The task can be taken by anyone, but only the first person to give a correct answer will receive the reward. Since all the players who participated in the closed beta know that there is such a task in the new player village, it's about who is faster.
During the internal testing of the game, there were 50,000 players from China participating. Xiao Hua knew that there must be more than just him who had participated in the internal testing, so as soon as he appeared in the game, he hurriedly ran over.
Sure enough, Xiao Hua just squeezed out of the crowd and saw a player who looked like a soldier running ahead of him about eight meters away. Seeing that the player was a warrior, Xiao Hua felt happy in his heart.
Those who choose warriors will generally choose the strength system. When creating a character, the system will let players choose the growth direction of their character's attributes. According to the character's attributes, they are divided into physical strength, strength, agility, wisdom, and spirit systems. After choosing the growth direction, you can then choose your profession.
Different attribute systems have different attribute bonus ratios. For example, for a player in the strength system, when adding points to strength, the physical attack power bonus is highest, with slightly higher growth in physique and average growth in movement speed; wisdom and spirit growth are poor. For players in the agility system, movement speed growth is highest, with slightly higher growth in physical attack power, average growth in physique, and poor growth in wisdom and spirit.
The system of the second world is very open. The choice of attribute systems does not affect the choice of professions. For example, if a person chooses the strength system, he can completely choose to be a wizard and buy a magic staff or a single-handed short sword with extremely high physical attack power in the game to become a melee wizard who smashes people with a magic staff!
Xiao Hua does not doubt whether anyone will do this. In fact, many people have made various attempts in the internal test, such as melee mages in the strength department and agility department, blood cow pastors in the physique department, magic archers in the wisdom department who mainly export skills, etc. He also pointed out that this seemingly crazy deficit attribute is matched with professions. Once skills and equipment are properly matched, it will exert amazing power. However, it can be predicted that in the early stage of the game, in the absence of equipment and skills, this combination is undoubtedly a big cup of equipment.
Xiao Hua naturally chose the agility system. Not for anything else, but because agility makes people's body reactions faster. Once agility reaches a certain level, many actions he can't do in reality can be completed in the game, fully meeting his needs. Just like now, everyone's attributes are all 1 at birth, but the agility system's him runs faster. The warrior in front of him is destined to have a tragic fate.
Soon, when he saw that he was only more than ten meters away from the NPC, Xiao Hua smiled and ran to the warrior's side.
"Brother, don't run so fast, wait for me." The warrior said depressedly. Of course he knew Xiao Hua's purpose.
"Haha, brother, I can't help it either. Once I start running, I can't slow down!" Xiao Hua said proudly.
"I'll go ahead, brother, good luck!" After running a few steps, Xiao Hua had already pulled two steps away from the soldier. This guy, Xiao Hua, even forgot to turn back and tease the short-legged soldier when he was far away.
The warrior, tears streaming down his face, watched Xiao Hua running away. He had realized this possibility before entering the game, but he was unexpectedly placed near the edge of a square close to the library, giving him a significant advantage over others. However, he didn't expect to encounter an agile guy.
At this time, the two were not far away from the mission NPC, the lost apprentice librarian. Xiao Hua ran to the NPC first with a distance of two meters ahead.
In the second world, NPCs are divided into active and passive ones. The current task NPC is a passive one. Xiao Hua took a step forward and triggered the task plot scene:
You see a young man standing in front of you with a frown on his face. You, being kind and helpful, rush forward to ask him what's wrong. It turns out that the young man is an apprentice librarian who was sent from afar to take over the position of the old librarian, but when he arrived here, he found out that the old librarian refused to let an inexperienced apprentice librarian take over his position, and only if he correctly answers the old librarian's questions will the old librarian acknowledge his ability.
System prompt: Do you want to help answer the questions of the trainee librarian?
Xiao Hu quickly accepted the task, and the young trainee administrator raised his head happily and said to him, "Young warrior, if you can help me answer these questions, I will definitely repay you!"
After the intern administrator finished speaking, Xiao Hua saw a question in front of him.
Question one:
Do you think the holy angel is more beautiful or the seductive fallen demon princess is more attractive?
A, of course, is the beautiful angel.
B. I like the seductive demon princess.
As soon as he saw this question, Xiao Hua's head became big.
It starts with the three brains that govern the second world. The second world is managed by three super brain systems. Among them, two images in the game are respectively the sacred angel Capella who likes white and the demon princess Aiweiou who likes black. At ordinary times, Capella and Aiweiou manage the game alternately and deal with various events in the game. The third unknown brain behind the scenes is generally not involved in the management, only when there is a contradiction between Capella and Aiweiou in the handling of the same incident will they come forward to take over the management and have the final decision. Therefore, when the government promotes the second world, they swear that the second world has the most advanced and perfect management system in the world. Even if people from all over the world are crowded in the same system, there will be no problems!
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
Xiao Hua took part in the internal test and knew a little about Capella and Aiweiou. As far as he knows, in order to make the second world have more possibilities and longer life and vitality, the developers of the second world endowed Capella and Aiweo with highly realistic personalities and the same feelings as human beings. In the second world, even if the current management system is different for the same task, or the same management system is in different emotions, the rewards will be different.
Of course, according to the official explanation, the basis of this personality and emotional change is based on not disrupting the normal operation of the game and player's behavior activities. However, this indeed makes the game more full of unknowns and variability.
The question that Xiao Hua has to answer in front of him is a question without a fixed answer. The key lies in whether it is Capela or Aivou who is managing the system now. As long as this can be determined, the problem will become very simple.
But the problem is that no one knows who is managing now except for the two intelligent brains of the management system.
Xiao Hua was hesitant to answer this simple question, because if he made a mistake, he would have to wait an hour before answering again. By then, someone else would definitely have completed the task. So for now, he had to wait and soon he would know whether it was Capella or Aivio who was managing.
The warrior also ran over and seeing Xiao Hua was still motionless, he also hurriedly triggered the task. As soon as he saw the task question, the warrior was stunned. He was a player in the internal test, so he knew about the incident involving Capella and Aweiou. For a moment, he dared not answer casually.
"Brother, why don't you answer? If you do, maybe you'll guess it right." The warrior encouraged, finally understanding why Xiao Hua hadn't finished answering for so long.
"I let you answer first." Xiao Hua glared at the warrior. There were more than one task questions, and it was only after answering them all that one could know if they were right or wrong. But if the first question was answered incorrectly, according to Xiao Hua's experience, either Capella or Aivio would make the next question even more difficult. Rushing to answer is suicide. Of course, if the first question was guessed correctly, then it would be another matter.
"Haha." The warrior scratched his head, embarrassedly laughed a few times, and waited on the side as well.
Both of them are waiting for something to happen, as soon as this happens, they will immediately know who is currently managing the game.
Time passed quickly for more than ten minutes. Suddenly, a colorful and beautiful rainbow appeared in the clear sky without clouds. A white beautiful figure gradually formed in the sky.
Xiao Hua was already watching the sky. As soon as he saw a white shadow, he quickly chose A, of course, it's the beautiful holy angel.
Just as I was about to continue answering the next question, I didn't expect that after answering it, the intern librarian immediately expressed his gratitude with a grateful expression on his face and said to me: "Young warrior, thank you so much. Without you, I really don't know what to do. This is my gift for you, please don't refuse."
System prompt: Learn to read skills, current level: beginner. (Skill level: beginner, novice, intermediate, advanced, expert, master, grandmaster)
System prompt: Reading skill level has been upgraded to beginner, wisdom +1.
Then, Xiaohua's body was surrounded by a glow of upgrading.
System prompt: Gain experience 100, character level up, current level 2.
Feeling the pleasure of upgrading, Xiao Hua looked at the warrior with a gloomy face and knew that today Capella was in a good mood. He directly skipped the questions behind.
Both were preparing, but in the end, it was the agility class that acted faster. Moreover, Xiao Hua's reaction in reality was much higher than most people, so the warrior could never catch up with him.
"Brother, I hate you. Can't you slow down? It takes so much reading to get one point of wisdom." The warrior was very depressed and said. Once there was a point of wisdom right in front of him, but he missed it by just a few thousandths of a second.
"Only a few days or weeks, read more books and play less games, it's good for your health!" Xiao Hua got the reward, and he was speaking without any pain in his back.
Intuition can be said to be one of the most useful attributes in the second world. For every point increase in intuition, the required proficiency for skill upgrades decreases by 1%. The initial intuition of all people is 0, according to Xiao Hua's knowledge, intuition can only be obtained through reading and improving skills.
However, improving reading skills is not that easy. It takes ten days to go from beginner to intermediate, and twenty days to go from intermediate to advanced, and so on. The more advanced you get, the longer it takes. When reading, your eyes must be on the page, and your feet cannot move, otherwise it's ineffective. This means that if you want to improve your wisdom by reading, you can't level up by killing monsters.
The only relaxation is that reading is not restricted to whether you are in a combat state. So if you're rich and have a dedicated team to level up, you can completely skip fighting monsters, sit on the sidelines, read books while harvesting experience points for leveling up.
In fact, many people in the early stages of the game will choose to read books to raise their wisdom to 1 and then stop, because the amount of skill proficiency required for each skill upgrade at the beginning is not high, and the ratio of input to output is not proportional. Only when skills reach a higher level does the usefulness of wisdom become apparent.
At this moment, the white shadow that was faintly visible in the sky became clear. A beautiful angel appeared in the sky, clad in a white veil and radiating with holy light from head to toe.
Capella waved a pair of huge white wings, and under the white semi-transparent silk dress, her slender waist, high breasts, and snow-white skin were faintly visible. On her holy face, two black shiny eyes flashed with a trace of cunning smile.
In the new player village, most people had already seen Capella on the promotional posters and videos. When they saw her in person, who looked exactly like a real person, they all stared at her for a moment.
"Hello everyone, I'm Capella, who is loved by everyone and makes flowers bloom! Congratulations to player War God for becoming the first level ten player in the Chinese region. War God will receive the title of 'Newcomer First'. Under this title, killing monsters will gain an additional 200% experience for twelve hours."
There was a commotion among the players in the village. How could someone level up to ten levels so quickly? The Hua Xia region truly is a place of hidden talent and hidden dragons. More importantly, the additional 200% experience for those 12 hours will make it so that when fighting monsters, you'll get three times the experience. In the early stages of a game with so many people, this will give you an unparalleled advantage!
Shortly after Capella finished speaking, all players in the village received a system prompt from 2012: The library in the village has been opened, and all players can go to the library to learn skills: reading!
The system's prompt made many players who were completely unfamiliar with the second world realize that reading might be an extremely important skill. In an instant, countless players rushed towards the tiny library in the village.
Wang and Xiao Hua, however, remained unmoved. Xiao Hua had already learned the skill, while Wang knew that it didn't matter whether he learned it early or late. Now there were so many people here, running away and getting stuck was just being a fool.
"Is she in puberty now?" The warrior asked Capella in the air.
"Puberty!" Xiao Hua nodded affirmatively. The current performance of Capela is just in puberty.
"Damn, I really want to tear off her clothes." As Kapela's figure gradually disappeared in the sky, the warrior spoke bluntly without any concealment.
"Down and dirty!" Xiao Hua gave the warrior a middle finger.
"This is called honesty." The warrior said discontentedly, then continued, "We're all testers. Add me as a friend. What's your name?"
"..., you say the name, I add."
"Damn, what's with all this hesitation? It's still the same thing, War Without Doubt." The warrior was very displeased.
The system popped up a friend request, and Wan Shuang opened it and couldn't help but laugh.
"Stop stealing other people's wives, grandma! You have no right to say I'm vulgar! You're awesome, brother, I admire you to the core!" Zhan Wushuang laughed heartily. He finally understood why Xiao Hua didn't mention his name. This name, which is as vulgar as a wolf, would probably scare away any MM who sees it. It's a shame that Xiao Hua dared to use it and wasn't afraid of not being able to find an MM in the game.
"Get out! Don't steal the thief and let you call him. Don't call him a wife, or I'll turn against him and delete my friends!" Xiao Hua threatened very unceremoniously. The players who took part in the internal test, as the reward of the internal test, have the right to reserve the name of the internal test character. However, for some reasons, Xiao Hua did not want to use the name of the internal test. As a result, even countless name systems were prompted to be occupied. Seeing that the game was about to start, the name was given in anger.
"Human... Old Thief Brother, ah, your name is really awkward. Just call you Brother. Let's go on a mission together. That guy Wangzhe Zhan Shen has already left the new village. Damn it."
"Good." Xiaohua nodded, and with so many people around, two people are better than one at grabbing monsters.
