Chapter 25 Zhao Si Appears
The game forum is quite lively, and many people have uploaded game screenshots to the forum.
In addition to the orphanage, the towns, villages, refugee gathering places, etc. around the city have all become novice villages.
As long as you choose to land in a city on your own, the start will be relatively normal, and you can then explore the map freely.
But some players who choose to be born randomly are unlucky. Some are actually born directly in a black-hearted factory and are whipped by the black-hearted factory owner as soon as they open their eyes.
"Get to work, you damn slaves!" the factory owner shouted viciously.
"Oh my God, working in real life is tiring enough, why do I have to continue working after entering the game!" The unlucky player let out a helpless wail.
At this moment, five of the six orphans in the dormitory have already started to act.
Coral City is large, with a population of over one million. It is relatively stable under the rule of the Mechanical Clan, and the post-war economy shows signs of recovery.
"I'm in the southwest district of Coral City, where are you?" Yu Wen Shuxue asked.
"Let me see...I'm in this area ."
"me too!"
“…”
The landing locations of these five guys were surprisingly close to each other.
Li Defu asked: "Brother Su, where are you?"
"I don't know. I haven't left the orphanage ."
"What's going on?" Li Defu was puzzled. "Brother Su, don't you know how to leave the novice area? Just control the character to walk out. You can talk to some NPCs along the way and ask them if they have any missions."
The rest of the people in the dormitory were all gaming veterans. They had robbed banks in Los Santos and killed chickens in Skyrim, and were very familiar with this kind of open world.
They were all worried that Su Xia, a newbie in the game, was too cautious and would miss many opportunities in the early stages.
Su Xia explained: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid, it's just that our dean won't let me leave."
His current situation is very special. Like many other players born in the Black Heart Orphanage, he did not leave the orphanage. Instead, he was arranged in the hall of the orphanage and had to listen to a speech.
Some players wanted to leave the hall, but were caught by the orphanage guards.
The strength of Su Xia's body was too weak to tell the level of the guards at all.
At the front of the hall, the kind old dean said with a smile: "My children, you are about to face the cruel outside world. Before you leave, I think you need to know some truths. For this reason, I have invited a popular person around the city lord. He is a brave warrior who endures humiliation and is also a hero who has turned from darkness to light. He is Mr. Zhao Si. Let us welcome him together!"
After saying that, he started clapping with a smile.
The guards in the hall also applauded, creating a warm welcome atmosphere.
At the same time, many players present received a task.
[Obtained Mission: The First Step of Genius]
[Mission Level: F-]
[Mission Description: Zhao Si was once a member of the human resistance camp, but not long ago, he betrayed his organization, gained countless wealth and glory, and successfully entered the management of Coral City. He will give you the first speech of his life]
[Task Reward: Titanium Particles x100]
Zhao Si?
Su Xia's heart moved slightly. She actually met this traitor here.
It's true that we meet everywhere in life.
At the same time, he noticed that level descriptions appeared on the tasks of the player accounts.
In the hall, the lights are bright and the floor tiles are so clean that they can reflect people's reflections.
A pair of expensive black leather shoes stepped onto the floor, and the hard soles made a dull sound when they collided with the floor tiles. Looking up, it was an extremely well-fitting suit. The owner of the suit had a shiny slicked-back hair, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and smiled. He came in front of everyone with the demeanor of a successful person.
"Good evening, classmates!"
He opened his arms as if to welcome someone.
The old dean and many guards immediately began to applaud hard.
But most of the players had no reaction. They just looked around and didn't take this guy seriously at all.
This is a game world. No matter how powerful an NPC you are, players won't even look at you.
Only a few people including Su Xia applauded.
“Pah—Pah—”
Hearing this voice, Zhao Si's eyes lit up and he looked carefully at Su Xia and the others.
Well, a very sensible young man.
"My dear students, the world outside is very cruel. You may be deceived in various ways. Today I will briefly talk about this. I plan to explain it from three levels. At the first level, I will divide it into nine stages..."
Zhao Si cleared his throat and started the speech with an emotional voice.
At this moment, many players present recalled the fear of being dominated by the high school principal.
The world outside is so beautiful and novel that countless players have posted their experiences and feelings on the forum, but everyone here can only suffer here.
Time passed by minute by minute. After more than ten minutes, some players couldn't help but complain: "What the hell, how long will this NPC talk?"
Some people even covered their ears and wailed, "Oh my God, if I keep listening to this I might die!"
"If I die now, I will die. If I carry out my plan, I will die..."
"Why not just rush up and chop him up!"
Complaining, cursing, yelling...
This group of players is lawless, and all kinds of noises mixed together, noisy and chaotic, like a vegetable market after get off work.
"cough……"
An embarrassed expression appeared on the old dean's face. He turned his head slightly and pretended that he heard nothing.
The guards went out and took away the two players who attacked Zhao Si. It was unknown where they would take them.
The expression on Zhao Si's face was not very natural. Although he was trying hard to maintain a smile, everyone could tell that he was in a very bad mood.
Fortunately, Su Xia, who was sitting in the middle seat, still had a smile on her face and nodded and applauded from time to time.
This gave Zhao Si some comfort.
"This young man is quite good. I'll ask his name later." Zhao Si thought to himself.
After more than ten minutes, the long and painful speech finally came to an end.
At the end of his speech, Zhao Si opened his hands again and said, "Dear students, if you understand, please give me a round of applause!"
"The sound of slapping Nima!"
Someone cursed immediately.
Many players present received 100 Titanium Particles, and the upgrade progress bar jumped forward by one tenth.
After the dean opened the door, everyone rushed out in a swarm as if they were suffocating, and few looked back to linger.
Su Xia was very calm and stood up slowly.
Zhao Si immediately walked down from the podium and called Su Xia affectionately: "Young man, what's your name?"
Su Xia replied: "My name is Su Xia."
"Su Xia? What a great name!"
Zhao Si immediately praised him.
The old dean also came over and said, "Haha, Mr. Zhao has a good eye! In terms of character, Su Xia is the best among this group of orphans."
"This is natural, I can see that." Zhao Si still smiled.
He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Su Xia.
"Young man, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come directly to my office building in the city center."
