Chapter 2 True Small World
The game the original owner was playing was called "Honghuang".
This is another suspicious point.
Unexpectedly, in this world where Taoism has disappeared, there are still many myths and legends about the ancient times. Although there are discrepancies in many places, it is enough to arouse Qin Mo's curiosity.
"Hong Huang" is set against this background.
Three months ago, when "Honghuang" was first launched in public beta, it attracted a large number of players with its "realistic graphics, super high AI", and unique Chinese ancient flavor.
At its peak, the number of people online exceeded one million.
But soon, the upgrade system that was slower than a snail, the 100% pain sensation, the death rule that reset to zero upon death, and other unfavorable designs made the newly-awakened prehistoric fever quickly subside.
It is reported that the number of players of "Honghuang" has fallen below 100,000.
He found the exclusive account card for "Honghuang" from the card box, inserted it into the card slot of the game cabin, opened the protective cover, and Qin Mo sat in. The cartridge automatically popped out of the cabin, fixing his limbs and torso.
Then, more than a dozen probes extended from the head.
This is hypnotic.
When virtual network technology first appeared, it caused controversy because it required users to be in a deep sleep state to use it, and the public was worried about its security.
It was not until the official endorsement that it gradually shifted from military to civilian use.
Qin Mo naturally couldn't be hypnotized, but he could enter a deep sleep state by entering a state of meditation. When he woke up again, he found himself in an unfamiliar continent.
"Honghuang" currently only opens the Jiuzhou map, and the only optional race is human.
In the Kyushu continent, the demon race is the mainstream, active in the mountains, forests and swamps. The human race, as a new force, is like a spark, scattered all over Kyushu, struggling to survive in the cracks of the demon race, trembling in fear.
Until the stranger came into the world...
The Heishui tribe where Qin Mo is located has less than a thousand indigenous people. It is located in Jingzhao County, Yongzhou, on the banks of the Weishui River, with the Qinling Mountains in the south and the Loess Plateau in the north.
There are even fewer players born in the Blackwater Tribe, only 45 in total.
According to previous statistics from the official website, there are approximately 2,500 human tribes in Kyushu Continent. If 100,000 players are evenly distributed, there are only this many people left in each tribe.
Qin Mo didn't look around, his face was gloomy.
Because he discovered something very terrifying, his perception told him clearly that the body in front of him was not fictional at all, but himself.
Looking at the players around, including the natives, they are all real bodies. It’s just that the players were hypnotized when they came in, and they didn’t think in this direction, and they were not aware of it at all.
Not only that, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is also real. Qin Mo can even vaguely sense the operation of the way of heaven.
What does this mean?
This shows that this is not a virtual world at all, but a real world. Spiritual energy can be simulated, but the way of heaven cannot even simulate the illusory world of Taixu.
This is horrible.
Qin Mo guessed that this might be a small world opened up by a powerful being. As to whether this powerful being came from the ancient universe, it was unknown.
As far as Qin Mo knows, there is more than one primitive universe.
But what is certain is that this powerful being must have a connection with Blue Star, otherwise he would not have gone to such great lengths to specially open up such a small world.
"This is getting interesting."
After the shock, Qin Mo quickly calmed down. He could travel from the Earthly Immortal World to Blue Star, and then to a small thousand world. It didn't seem unacceptable.
The most important thing is that this world is full of spiritual energy and is very suitable for cultivation.
Qin Mo was still worried about the lack of spiritual energy on Blue Star during the day, but unexpectedly, a turning point immediately appeared. Or perhaps, this journey to Blue Star was actually a great opportunity.
Can't let you down.
Qin Mo looked around and found that he appeared at the tribal square.
The entire square covers an area of less than one thousand square meters and is compacted with loess. In the middle stands a four or five meter high stone sculpture of a human Qigong practitioner with black water belts wrapped around his body.
This is the ancestor who established the Black Water Tribe - the Black Water clan.
Directly north of the square is a tribal ancestral temple built of stone. It is not only the place where the natives worship their ancestors, but also the place where players return from the six realms of reincarnation after their death.
Usually there are few people coming in and out.
On the east and west sides are martial arts halls, inns, medical clinics, blacksmith shops, tailor shops, grocery stores and other buildings. On the south side is a four-meter-wide dirt road that leads directly to the village entrance.
With the square as the center, there are more than 300 wooden houses scattered around, as well as some small workshops, and the outermost area is a circle of wooden walls made of logs.
The overall scale is about that of a medium-sized village.
Qin Mo's mind moved, and he called up his personal attribute panel, and a light screen popped up in front of him.
Realm: Body building stage (early stage of tendon training)
Soul: 8
Root bone: 7
Qi and blood: 13 (8+5)
Skills: "Body Strengthening Fist" (Level 2/Level 7), "Basic Sword Skills" (for beginners)
Remaining experience points: 100 points
[Note: Before practicing, an adult's soul, bone structure, and blood are considered qualified if they have 6 points, excellent if they have 8 points or more, and a talent if they have 10 points.]
Before a cultivator passes the tribulation, the realm of cultivation is divided into nine major realms.
The lower three realms: body building, Qi refining, foundation building
The middle three realms: Danjie stage, Yuanying stage, Huashen stage
The upper three realms: Refining Void Stage, Integration Stage, Mahayana Stage
The body-building period focuses on tempering the body and increasing Qi and blood, and can be further divided into seven small realms: training the flesh, training the tendons, training the skin, training the bones, training the internal organs, washing the marrow, and transfusing blood.
"Qin Mo" has been playing for three months and has just broken through to the second small realm.
Just barely enough.
Players whose root bone is only 6 points or even below 6 points have not made any progress after practicing for a month or two, and basically quit the game.
This is also a disguised form of elimination.
Qin Mo was about to close the attribute panel when a line of words suddenly appeared on the light screen.
"Anomalies in player data detected, correcting..."
The next moment, Qin Mo felt an invisible gaze scanning him from head to toe. He felt his entire body cold and unable to move. Even his soul seemed to be frozen.
"Correction completed, restart..."
The next moment, Qin Mo's personal attribute panel had changed drastically.
Realm: Body building stage (early stage of tendon training)
Soul: 100 (abnormal status, sealed...)
Root bone: 7
Qi and blood: 13
Skills: "Shenxiao Zhenfa" (12th level, cannot be practiced), "Jiuzhuan Jinshen Jue" (9th level, can be practiced), "Shattering Star Sword Technique" (1st/9th level)
[Note: The rest of the skills are too rubbish, automatically blocked...]
Remaining experience points: 100 points
Qin Mo is now even more certain that this is a real small world. The person who can calculate his background at once and leave him no room for resistance must be a powerful person.
After the soul was sealed, it could only reveal the level of Qi Refining Stage, so it was only 100 points; the realm , bones, qi and blood were determined by Qin Mo's physical body, so there was no change.
The biggest change is the technique.
The body-building boxing and basic swordsmanship that "Qin Mo" had practiced before, including the miscellaneous skills that Qin Mo had practiced in his previous life, were all thrown into the recycling bin as garbage, leaving only three main skills.
That is, the "Shenxiao True Method", the sect's signature technique, the "Nine-Turn Golden Body Technique", one of the most complete body-building techniques in the prehistoric times, and the "Star-Breaking Sword Technique", one of the three great sword techniques of the Shenxiao sect.
Even so, Qin Mo's starting point is already an unattainable destination for many players.
Since "Star Shattering Sword Technique" is a type of move, Qin Mo can use it right away. The reason why only one level is displayed is that his current strength can only exert the power of the first level of the sword technique at most, and it is still very difficult.
But even the first level is far stronger than the basic swordsmanship at the perfect level.
“This is very interesting .”
Qin Mo smiled and closed the attribute panel. With a thought, he opened his personal dimensional space, which was only one cubic meter in size. It contained all his equipment, a set of gray tights, a half-length cowhide armor, and an iron sword.
And a pair of boots that smelled sour...
"Honghuang" stipulates that players must store all their equipment in the dimensional space before logging off.
Otherwise all equipment will be dropped.
Players have always been puzzled by this annoying rule, but in Qin Mo's eyes, this is the most normal operation, otherwise it would be exposed.
Holding the sword, Qin Mo walked towards the village entrance and started his adventure.
