A ceiling that I haven't seen before.

Roland opened his eyes and saw a huge female stone statue diagonally above his head. The black rocky surface seemed to have a faint green light flowing, but when he looked closely, he could see nothing.

He sat up and found himself lying on a blue stone platform just now, a bit like a ritual platform used for medieval sacrifices, with a cold and rough surface.

There was a strange fragrance in the air. He looked around and found that under the goddess statue not far behind him, there was a bunch of strange forage burning under the statue of the goddess, which looked a bit like mugwort, but there were a little more jagged at the edge of the leaves.

Wait...taste?

It really smells? And it feels touched? Roland touched the sacrificial platform again, feeling the roughness and coldness of the surface, and then sniffed it hard. Then he not only smelled the strange fragrance of the burning of the forage, but also smelled the stone building of the air, and the slightly astringent smell of the pungent stone.

It's really a virtual online game, not hypnotized? And so real... Roland looked at his hands, white and slender, very in line with the image of the caster.

He pinched his arm again, and it felt a pain... but it was not obvious. This was not surprising. After all, before entering the game, the official announcement had already said that the pain in the game was only one-tenth of that in reality.

Roland stood up on the stone platform and looked around. This was a stone building, statue of the goddess, sacrificial platform, and several rows of neat stone chairs in front. Judging from the layout and decoration, this place should be a small chapel.

Jumping off the sacrificial platform, Roland looked at his body and was wearing a gray-brown linen dress, which was very rough and uncomfortable. He wore an ugly linen shoes on his feet, and the soles were extremely thin. When he stepped on the ground, he could feel the stones were cold and biting.

It's very real... Roland sighed and stroked the sacrificial platform. The real stone feel and the fingertips could touch the particles on the surface of the stone, which was no different from reality. He did not expect that the game was real and real virtual games, not the kind of VR inferior products that deceived the senses.

When did this kind of exaggerated black technology exist in our country... and it was the first Penguin Company to apply it to the game. Roland sighed in his heart that the 50,000-yuan virtual cabin was not bought in vain, and it was indeed worth it.

When he was about to continue to observe his surroundings and adapt to his new body, the old wooden door of the church opened.

Amid the sound of the rotten wood, an old man with a hunched waist came in. His eyebrows were white, very long, and tilted to the edge of his thin cheeks. His eyes were almost covering his pupil beads. He was also wearing a white robe, and the middle of the robe was embroidered with a blue tree logo.

Before entering the game, Roland went to the official website to make up for the basic knowledge of this game world. If you remember correctly, this outfit is a standard costume of the God of Life, and is generally worn by only the priests of the Temple of Life.

The old man was first surprised when he saw Roland, and then showed a look of relief.

A short expression changed, whether it was the muscle movements on the cheeks or the eyes of his own, they were no different from real people, and they didn't look like the game's npc at all.

In previous VR games, no matter how realistic the characters were, the expression changes were always a flaw in NPC behavior. Even if muscle texture capture was used, no matter how rich the expressions of NPC were, they would give people a feeling of a uncanny valley when switching expressions.

But now, Roland felt that he had met a real person... it was not another player.

He soon denied this idea. He was one of the first to enter the game. Players could not become a priest so soon. And most importantly... Players can only enter the game as a young human, and what they see is an old man in their twilight years.

But the other party looked too much like a real person. Even if the other party didn't say anything and just stood there quietly looking at him, Roland felt that the other party was a real person.

Eyes, standing posture, skin tightness that the muscles pull when blinking, old people spots, yellow skin that has no moisture, and you can even see the old people's temples jumping faintly due to the flow of blood.

Roland is not a professional in game production, but he has played many games, from Pac-Man back then to the current high-quality VR games. Even if the current games can make the appearance of NPC lifelike, it still lacks the most critical inner self.

soul!

Just standing there and watching gives people a feeling of living people, living people with souls, rather than wearing anthropomorphic skins, cold and cold data npc.

Is this a guide npc? The official game website did not say that there was a guide npc... Roland, who was puzzled, took the initiative to talk to the other party: "Hello, old man, what is this place?"

The old man opposite was stunned for a while when he heard Roland talking, and then he waved his hand and slowly spit out a passage of language that Roland had never heard before.

Even if he couldn't understand, Roland could hear the meaning of the other person's words from his expression. It must be like this: I don't understand what you are saying!

I go! Roland felt a toothache, and then he scolded the game production company in his heart. They are too pursuing perfection, and they really set different languages ​​for the NPC in this world? If there is no error in the introduction of the game official website, there are dozens of human countries and dozens of different races in this game world. If each country and each race have their own language, then how much work is this?

If this is true, what are the frost game companies, what are the Biyu game companies, and the shiver little newbies in front of the big penguin.

Even though he was scolding in his heart, Roland thought of a way. He remembered that when he created the game characters, he learned a second-level magic for himself in advance: knowing language.

Because he has played many sandbox games before, in the game, everyone uses the same language and text, but because of the game settings, players from different countries or camps in the game do not understand the language skills of the other country or do not know the language skills when communicating, the text you see will become garbled, and the sound you hear will become 'beep'.

Rich gaming experience played a role, which made Roland screamed for luck. He exhaled the system in his heart, which was a little awkward at the beginning. After all, virtual games are somewhat different from VR games, but soon he quickly found the magic book option, opened the magic skills inside, found the language and locked it down with his mind.

Then a strange number line chart appeared in front of me, with many blue nodes on it.

A blue node similar to the starting point began to shine, and then a red light burst out, shooting towards another node. The speed was very fast, just in a blink of an eye.

Is this a casting roadmap?

When Roland was thinking about this possibility, he saw the red silk thread between the two nodes suddenly tremble, and the frequency of vibration became faster and faster. As the vibration became faster and faster, Roland felt that his head was getting more and more painful.

What happened?

Roland has been playing games for twenty years, but this is the first time he has played virtual online games. He has no experience at all. He doesn’t know how to deal with such a thing.

After a few seconds, the red line finally broke out in a violent vibration. Roland's head was already hurting as if a needle had been stabbed into his scalp, which was a little unbearable.

Just as the red line broke, Roland's consciousness was popped out of the game's body, and then he was surprised to see that after a crisp sound, his game character's head exploded.

The headless corpse fell heavily to the ground, and the screen of "Masek" splashed everywhere.

Roland's consciousness was as transparent as the soul, standing next to the corpse, his face became numb because he was too surprised and he didn't know how to react.
Chapter completed!
