Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 7: First Entry
Finally, it was August 1st. Afeng and I hugged each other tightly, wished each other good luck, found a comfortable position, exchanged glances, and put on the game helmets together - in ten minutes, we would be able to enter the world of "Tianxia".
In the anxious waiting, the countdown began. As the big number 0 disappeared, I logged in to my account and password, passed the fingerprint and retina detection, and successfully logged into the game. Everything went according to plan, and I chose the yellow race without hesitation, but I encountered trouble when registering my name.
"Dragons travel the world", after some serious thinking, I have come up with several cooler names that sound loud and powerful.
"Sorry, the name you registered has already been used. Please change it!"
MM's voice is nice, but the message it conveys makes me unhappy. Although great minds think alike, it proves that I have a unique vision, but it is hard for people to accept that I am a loser in the competition. I have to change to another one. Which one should I change to?
"Dominating the world"
"Sorry, the name you registered has already been used. Please change it!"
"Dragon in the Sky"
"sorry……"
"Descendants of the Dragon"
…
I changed more than a dozen names, but all of them were answered with an "I'm sorry". I was so anxious that I broke out in a cold sweat. Damn, this virtual world is so real. I was so anxious that I broke out in a cold sweat. The more anxious I was, the more confused I became. My mind was empty. It seemed like I remembered a lot, but I couldn't think of a suitable name for a while.
"A-Dai", blurted out in a desperate situation, this is the most familiar name. It can only be used to save the emergency at the critical moment. It's really a pity that there are not enough words when the time comes!
Fortunately, no one has used such a common and uncharacteristic name, so I finally passed this level smoothly. I wiped off the cold sweat, and with the sound of pleasant music, I stood in the colorful clouds and entered the game, and was born in a small village. "Tianxia" adopts random birth and resurrection. Now if I die, I will be resurrected randomly in the entire Eastern Continent. When I arrive in the city, I will register my household registration information after successfully changing my job, and I can be resurrected in the area of this city. Normal online and offline are fixed. Where you log out, you can log in from.
The sky is blue, the sun is high. To facilitate the game, there is no distinction between day and night in Tianxia. It is always a clear sky, but the intensity of light varies with time. Players kept appearing around me. I looked at my attributes first. I was shocked. They were simply top-notch attributes, top-notch garbage attributes: one star for life, one star for physique, half a star for strength, five stars for wisdom, and two and a half stars for agility. Such innate attributes may be a dream come true for some players. According to Afeng's explanation, such attributes should be a perfect candidate for a magician, but I don't want to be a magician. I want to be a knight who travels all over the world and gallops on the battlefield! Originally, even if my innate attributes were a little worse, I would insist on becoming a knight, but now facing such extreme attributes, if I insist on doing so, I can only be a garbage knight and will have no future at all.
Magicians have low health, low defense, slow movement speed, and require high combat skills. For a rookie like me, the mortality rate of magicians is much higher than that of knights, warriors and other professions. You should know that the punishment for death in Tianxia is quite severe. Although general death will not drop equipment or reduce seniority, you need to face the wall in the "Resurrection Corridor" in a soul state and wait for six hours before you can be resurrected. If you go offline during this period, the time will be deducted. There is no chance for you to take shortcuts. Of course, in order to prevent you from being too bored there, Tianxia International provides film and television music for players to choose to enjoy, but it needs to be paid. Poor people like me cannot enjoy that kind of service. I can only endure those six hours in loneliness and pain.
Looking at the light red health, stamina, strength, and medium red agility, I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly. It seems that I am really not suitable for playing games as I have been assigned such a "perverted" attribute. However, since I have promised Afeng, I have to hold on no matter what. Even if I can't help in any way, I will firmly stay with my old friend and support him spiritually.
Only then did I have time to take a closer look at my appearance. It was OK, basically the same level as my appearance in real life. This was the appearance level system adopted by Tianxia, which divided the appearances of players from different countries and ethnic groups into several levels. The computer generated virtual appearances of the corresponding levels according to the levels. Everyone was different, ensuring uniqueness, but basically similar to your real appearance. This not only embodied the meaning of virtual reality, but also respected the privacy of players, so they didn't have to worry about being recognized and causing real-life PK events.
Watching the figures rushing by, I finally remembered my task - rush to the nearest city as soon as possible to change my job, and then find monsters to fight to gain experience points. Because I lacked the necessary understanding of my own and the monsters' combat power, and had no relevant operating experience, I could not understand Afeng's explanation very well. For example, how to fight what kind of monsters, how to fight in close combat, how to attack from a distance, I was confused. In the end, Afeng had no choice but to give up and let me slowly explore in the game. In his original words, "using life to exchange for experience, fighting in blood and fire can make a rookie grow faster."
I checked what I was wearing. I was wearing an ordinary light blue robe and a pair of simple walking shoes. They just covered my body to avoid being naked. If I wanted to wear something nice, I would need to spend money to buy or order it from a fashion store in the city, and it didn't provide any protection. But the storage belt tied around my waist was a good thing. It basically functioned like a big pocket for storing things. It couldn't be dropped or replaced. As the professional level increased, the storage space would automatically expand. According to Afeng, the most worth looking forward to were the properties attached to the storage belt itself. These properties were randomly generated, all based on luck, and there was no pattern. Although it couldn't be sold, a storage belt with good properties could help you survive better in the game.
I took a deep breath, and followed what I saw in the movies. I bit my finger with my teeth, squeezed out a drop of blood, and dripped it on the storage belt. Although it didn't really hurt, the feeling of self-harm was quite uncomfortable. "Tianxia" was really troublesome. A belt actually required dripping blood to recognize the owner before it could be used.
I took a quick glance at it. There was a long line of blue words. It seemed to have two or three attributes. Could it be that I was lucky again? I suppressed my excitement and read it carefully. If the attributes were better, maybe I could play the game more easily and help Afeng a little.
"The upper limit of mental power increases by 5%, the speed of mental power recovery increases by 5%, and the success rate of skills increases by 5%." Oh my God, please save me. Looking at the slightly darker light orange mental bar, I am in tears. Low life, low power, poor physical condition, it seems that all of this determines that I can only become a magician with a high mortality rate. It's so painful. Is my dream of knight shattered like this?
I have come to accept what has happened. I just want to help my friends as much as possible, and I didn't have high hopes for my own ability. I was originally fantasizing that I could bring some surprises, but now, I am surprised enough, but I have no chance of happiness!
He opened the map he brought with him, which clearly showed the main cities and towns in the Eastern Continent. The Eastern Continent was divided into twelve main urban areas, namely, Tokyo, Xijing, Nanjing, Beijing, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Chunfeng, Xiayu, Qiuyue, and Dongxue, with a large number of towns and villages under its jurisdiction. In addition, there were many dangerous areas full of monsters, which were all shown as shadows on the map and required players to explore by themselves.
I was in Huangzhuang, and the nearest city was Qiuyue City. I should go there first to see how to advance. The players who logged in left in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, I was the only one left nearby. I identified the direction and resolutely walked towards the wilderness outside the village. According to the map, crossing from here should be the fastest way.
There were hares and pheasants everywhere in the wilderness, but strangely, I didn't see any players killing them to gain experience, I guess they looked down on these small animals. I didn't bother with them, and hurried to Qiuyue City. I didn't expect to meet a stray wolf halfway. I didn't provoke it, but it took the initiative to attack me. Although I fought hard with it, I was still defeated in the end. It was a pity. If the health and attack power could be higher, I would definitely be able to kill it. Wow, my "virginity" was lost so quickly, and given to a wolf, it's really not worth it.
White light flashed, and my soul gradually separated from my body and flew to the "Resurrection Corridor". Alas, six hours of loneliness, here I come. I don't know what Afeng is doing. With his level, he must be having fun now.
