The Corrupt Earl Chapter 7 Going Home(1/2)

The reason why virtual reality can become the forefront of modern times is that in the world of virtual reality, everything is possible. In virtual space, anyone can become the Hulk, Iron Man, or even Marilyn Monroe. One person can

Speed ​​down the streets in a car that's faster than an airplane, or jump off a cliff without a parachute.

Everything is possible.

But that doesn't mean one can be good at anything.

In fact, it's difficult.

Although in the virtual world, a person can do anything he wants, but it is difficult to do it well. Jump off a cliff? A person will not feel any pain, but most people can't do it.

This is the biggest hurdle you have to overcome when playing virtual reality games, especially RPGs.

A virtual reality game gives players the ability to kill a bear with just their fists, but even that's only a two or three out of 10 chance. The other seven or eight have failed.

There are two reasons.

First of all, they cannot use their power. If the speed limit of a car is 600 kilometers per hour, most people cannot exceed 200 kilometers per hour. Not only are they afraid, but they also lack driving talent and experience and cannot drive freely on corners without crashing.

.

The second is that they hate killing living things. To them, virtual creatures look no different from real ones.

The first problem is something that players have to solve on their own, but the second problem is up to content creators. Creators of virtual reality games find it necessary to design their games so that players can more easily focus on the game.

What if blood gushes out every time a man swings his sword, or if a man impales a creature with a spear and can feel its dying heartbeat, or if the creature's organs begin to pass through the holes in their abdomen

A wound spills out, or if one crushes a monster's head and its brain explodes everywhere, then the game's creators put on handcuffs.

So, the beginnings of virtual VR games were childish to say the least. Monsters were shaped like jelly or polygons to make the game look less violent. Some games even had candy spilling out of monsters like piñatas.

But Dissidia is different.

The main content of "Dissidia" involves fighting monsters, and the game's creators believe that polishing this aspect to the extreme is the path to success.

Therefore, they made the game's combat as realistic as possible. Realistic meaning is brutal. Blood spurts out, that's it. No organs spill out of wounds, no brains explode, but blood spurts out realistically. Players can turn this option off at any time, but

The existence of this option is a game changer.

Additionally, when monsters are injured, they don't just sit quietly, but roar in anger. They try to cover up their wounds and attack the person who hurt them.

That's why Dissidia is such a landmark game. Because it's the most brutal and thrilling of any other game.

On the contrary, it is a challenge for people who play VR games for the first time. There are many people who cannot adapt even if they spend a lot of money to play this game.

The designer's solution to this problem is simple.

They did a very comprehensive tutorial.

The tutorial designer is said to have said the following:

"If you don't want to play, then don't play. This is not me being sarcastic, but my sincere advice. If the game is stressful, there is no reason to play. There are other games to play besides Discord. So don't want to play

Just stop playing. Why spend money and force yourself to play a game?”

Rumor has it that the employee gave a written apology... Regardless, new players must go through a 30-minute tutorial in order to start playing Dissidia.

This tutorial contains many combat scenarios, from killing monsters to being completely destroyed by them.

Most players who have gone through this tutorial will come out with half their souls sucked dry.

The same applies now.

————————————————————————————————

Magic Castle

A beginner's village famous for its magical atmosphere.

Because this is where new players start, it's packed with newbies who have just completed the tutorial. These newbies currently sit dejectedly at the table in the Solitary Keep, staring at the Butterbeer they received after completing the tutorial.

"What is it?"

"Is this a game or torture...?"

"Should I sell my gaming device? I don't think I can play the game if it's like that tutorial..."

Although they managed to pass the test successfully, they were shocked. They had heard about the infamous player tutorial, but they didn't think it would be that bad. Of course, their views have changed because they have experienced it

.

Most players are considering whether to continue playing Dissidia.

Just then, a player with a completely different demeanor appeared.

"Woo!"

A man walked down the stairs leading to the first floor, arms stretched out as if he had just had a good workout. His expression was cheerful, as if he had just taken a sauna and was sweating.

My body can finally move again.

This man is Wang Yu, or rather, a veteran.

"It's been a while since I had a good fight. A man really needs to see blood once in a while."

For him, this tutorial helped him regain some sense of fighting. At the same time, he felt elated.

"I feel like I'm finally home. Is this what a migratory bird feels like after returning home?"

Wang Yu felt that he had finally put on clothes that fit him. As a result, he felt very happy when he hummed a song and stomped his feet to the beat.

The other players kept debating whether to continue the game, staring at Wang Yu as if this was the most ridiculous thing they had ever seen.

"who is he?"

"Is he crazy?"

"He's humming? He's obviously a novice in those clothes, so how can he hum?"

They didn't usually pay attention to other people, but they had just come out of a long and painful half-hour battle. To them, Wang Yu looked simply... crazy.

On the other hand, Wang Yu didn't mind them. He didn't take them seriously.

He doesn't care at all.

At this time, the NPC in Novice Village said to Wang Yu.

"Good job. No big deal, but here's the beer for you. Drink it."

[You have completed the tutorial brilliantly. You have received 1000ml of butterbeer as a reward.].

A woman's pleasant voice reached his ears, and the NPC gave Wang Yu a glass of beer. To be more precise, it was a can, and Wang Yu chose to swallow it in one gulp.

"Okay! I haven't had this for a long time,"

As the beer flowed down his throat, its melon aroma and special sweetness cleared Wang Yu's throat and freshened his mouth at the same time.

"Remember, the last time I drank this beer was... before I fought the big boss in Novice Village, so it's been many years, huh?"

Butterbeer is a delicacy that can only be tasted in the virtual world. It is made by the world's number one VR food content creator. Players' food content is as popular as its combat content because it has never been seen before

Flavors can be created in virtual worlds.

"kaa!"

After drinking 1,000 ml of beer, Wang Yu walked out of Novice Village without hesitation, and the bright sunshine greeted him.

"I'm back!"

Heroic Executioner Wang Yu is back in the game.

————————————————————————————————

first level

-Course: Beginner

-Number of titles: 1

-Attributes: Strength (3)/Endurance (3)/Intelligence (3)/Magic (3)

Wang Yu stared at the notebook-sized hologram above his bracelet.

Staring at his status window, he felt conflicted.

These four aren't the only stats. If you dig deeper, you'll find even more detailed stats. There are over ten different attribute resistances, physical and magical defense, extra movement speed, and more... goes without saying.

And gamers, especially level players, like to have a lot of numbers. If their numbers are high enough, just looking at them makes them happy.

Of course, Wang Yu is no exception.

But looking at these terrible numbers in front of him, he felt empty in his heart.

"I have a lot to do..."

His first task is to fill his status window with numbers.

However, he had something to do before that.

Okay, it's time to go to class.

Getting a career is not difficult.

Players is a difficult game with a complex combat system. If combat preparation was also difficult, no one would play the game.
To be continued...
