Chapter 4 Game Background
Until the end, Wang Liang did not agree to choose the Immortal Package of the Hardware Group. It was useless even if the Fat Butcher boasted about it, because he had no idea what it meant to reach level 60 in ten years and become an immortal.
Wang Liang just wanted to control everything in his own hands, just like he had been doing for the past twenty years.
The butcher did not get angry at Wang Liang, who was stubborn, but politely followed Wang Liang to run errands and complete some chores like registration.
This made Wang Liang feel somewhat embarrassed, so he simply sold the "Xiantian Qiankun Gong" in his hands to the butcher at a package price.
Afterwards, Wang Liang left happily with more than 20 coins that looked like they were made of jade.
The coins Wang Liang held in his hands were all made of green jade, with a square-holed round coin shape, the words "Heaven and Earth" engraved on the front, and "Ten Years of Skill" engraved on the back.
This is the currency used in this world. Everyone condenses it with his own magic power. The coin condensed with one year's internal energy or magic power is black , called one yuan. The coin condensed with ten years of internal energy or magic power is blue, the coin condensed with a hundred years of magic power is purple, and the coin condensed with a thousand years of magic power is white.
In addition, the words engraved on the front represent the attributes of these coins. For example, the ones engraved with the words "Heaven and Earth" are the most basic coins without attributes. If it is a coin with the attribute of light, words such as "glory" and "brilliance" will be engraved on it.
Wang Liang generally doesn't care what the coins look like. What he finds interesting is that in addition to condensing these coins with his own internal force, magic power, etc., there are other ways to obtain them.
For example, if you defeat or kill an enemy, one third of the enemy's power or magic power will be converted into coins and fall to the ground.
Even the butchers cannot explain the principle behind this, but most of the coins used by people here come from this source.
This also made Wang Liang understand why everyone here has such impulsive and eccentric personalities.
With money in hand, Wang Liang didn't need anyone to explain things to him, so he just strolled around the square.
Gradually, Wang Liang discovered that the people in this square were quite interesting. They called themselves sand sculpture players. Wang Liang knew what these four words meant separately, but when they were put together, he didn't understand what it meant.
A few people who liked to teach others seemed to want to explain the cause and effect relationship here to Wang Liang, but Wang Liang just nodded in response to what they said without understanding a word.
Finally, a seemingly inconspicuous woman asked Wang Liang a question out of curiosity.
“Do you usually play games?”
Wang Liang hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Play."
"You play games, so you are a gamer." The woman pointed at Wang Liang and said, "They are also players, players who play big games. By the way, what games do you usually play? When playing this game, it's best to find like-minded companions."
"Does backgammon count for me?" Wang Liang said casually, thinking of the game he usually played with his wife.
This time, the woman was confused. "What is backgammon?"
"A game played with dice. The rules are as follows..."
Before Wang Liang could finish his words, the woman interrupted him and said, "So it's a Western fantasy style. No wonder you don't understand anything when you come here. But it's okay. It's actually very simple here. You don't even need to throw the dice. Let me tell you, our game is called 'Jieqi Fengshen'.
I can't explain the general situation to you clearly. Have you seen the library over there? You can look for some books in there and read the background of Fengshen. I'll make a book list for you. Start with "The Legend of Fengshen War", followed by "The Romance of Fengshen", "The Investiture of the Gods", "The Story of Daji and I" and other fan fictions.
After you finish reading it, you will almost understand it.
In addition, the levels here are different from those of the fantasy style. Our levels are higher. There is no need to make a choice before becoming an immortal at level 60.
Everything starts from level 60. At level 60, which is the level of immortals, we can choose a mountain gate to join from the twelve golden immortals of the orthodox teaching, the four great disciples of the evil teaching, the Zhao brothers and sisters, and the seven attendants to learn more powerful immortal arts.
When we reach level 90, which is the Golden Immortal level, we can join the two sects' mountain gates, Yuxu Palace or Biyou Palace, and become outer disciples under the saints.
If one can reach level 120, which is the level of Daluo Jinxian, one can become a saint's direct disciple and establish a sect outside.
This is very important. You should mark the key points because you will be tested on it later."
"I just heard someone say that it takes ten years to reach level 60. How long will it take to reach level 120?" Wang Liang asked a question.
“I don’t know about that either. All I know is that this game has been around for three hundred years, and the highest level is only 113. There is no level 120 player yet.
And there is one thing you may not know. I heard that there are other levels above 120.
But you don't have to worry, the first 60 levels are upgraded very quickly, and after reaching the level of immortal 60, your body will be strengthened, and you can easily live for more than a thousand years, and one day you can reach level 120."
Wang Liang didn't know what to say in response to the woman's comfort .
He really didn't want to play any games here or level up.
But now that he was here, Wang Liang didn't know where else to go, so he simply stopped thinking about how many years he would stay here and instead started asking about the game.
"You're talking about the game. Actually, you don't have to worry. You won't know the factions before level 60. After level 60, it's the confrontation between factions. You can consider your choice then. Now you should experience the fun of the game."
After saying that, the woman left quickly. Wang Liang also had a general idea of the situation and planned to learn more about what "The Legend of the Gods" was. He ran to a nearby library to read books.
Compared to the square, the library is another space, containing many books.
But most books cost money, and only some story books for ordinary people can be read freely.
After Wang Liang found the books the woman mentioned, he began to read them carefully. The first thing he noticed was that these books were quite thick and used some strange punctuation marks to break up the sentences, so that even people who didn't know how to break up the sentences would not misunderstand them.
From these books, Wang Liang saw a story. The background of this story seemed to be a matter between the Three Pure Ones. There was a conflict between Master Yuanshi Tianzun of the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain and Master Tongtian Jiaozhu of the Biyou Palace in Jin'ao Island, which caused a battle between the Chan sect and the Jie sect that lasted for billions of years, so long ago that Wang Liang had never heard of it.
Things seemed to have started from the Battle of Conferred Gods. The Patriarch Tongtian was unwilling to accept defeat, so he started another war using the long river of time and billions of planets as the chessboard.
Players enter at this time. They can travel freely between different times and worlds, grow there, and finally choose which camp to join.
Of course, due to the chaos in time, there will be some problems between the long river of time and billions of planets. At this time, the two factions can join forces to fight together.
Anyway, this is an infinite world, a world where one can practice Taoism freely.
