Chapter 2 2. Novice Village(1/2)
** April 2016
"Realm"! The world's first virtual game greets the world! The game login is sold simultaneously around the world. The game login is divided into: helmet type, nutritional cabin type, and portable type. Helmet type and nutritional cabin type are easy to understand, while portable type refers to a game login that is easy to carry, such as bracelets, necklaces, etc.
The server launch time of "Realm" is set at: May 1, 2016.
"Realm" is made by Dr. Li Ming and Dr. Li handed over the management rights to the Blue Whale Group and let the Blue Whale Group operate on their behalf. This cross-age Ming Ben has attracted the attention of the world, and under the strong publicity of the Blue Whale Group, it swept the whole world like a storm, making it known to everyone.
However, since it was the first virtual game, people were not very clear about its charm (don't treat everyone as otaku!), when Blue Whale Group sold game helmets, they specially sent 10,000 free "trial game helmets" in the world for people to experience it and understand its charm with their own eyes.
‘Try the game helmet’ allows people to experience the game before opening the server. Each helmet corresponds to a set game character. Anyone wearing the game helmet will log in to the corresponding game character. However, the game characters set in it after opening the server will be deleted and become an ordinary game helmet.
China, underground secret laboratory.
More than a dozen "Realm" game helmets of three models are being placed on the test bench, and countless instruments are analyzing; countless researchers in white coats are shuttled between the instruments.
An old man in a white coat stood in front of the glass, looking down at the countless busy researchers below.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong~" There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." The old man looked down without looking back.
"How is it? Is there any progress?" A middle-aged man dressed in a suit and was very friendly and walked up to the old man.
"Chairman." The old man looked at the middle-aged man and shook his head. "We can barely understand the technology used in the game helmet. But this is nothing. The game helmet is just a hypnotizing human brain to enter a state of deep sleep, and then emit special radio waves to guide people into the virtual world. What is really important is the host of the virtual world."
"We need to create the host we need for such a real virtual world by ourselves. At least 10 years later, even if we want to imitate it now, we can't do it. I really don't know how Dr. Li created such a real virtual world. This is no different from the real world! It's a waste to use the world to create games, and it's useless." The old man shook his head and was a little dejected, admired, and angry.
"In short, we want to create such a virtual game ourselves, and there is no hope at all." The old man added with a smile: "There is no hope in other countries. The virtual game within 1oo is unique to Blue Whale Group."
The middle-aged man was silent, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
After chatting with the old man for a few minutes, the middle-aged man said goodbye to the old man: "I have something to do, so say goodbye."
"Let's go slowly." The old man replied politely.
The middle-aged man turned around and walked out of the room. Outside the room was a male secretary in a suit and four tall and burly bodyguards.
"Ask the military department to choose 1ooo and enter the virtual game of "Realm"." the middle-aged man ordered the male secretary.
"Yes." The male secretary responded respectfully.
...
Top floor of Zilang Group Headquarters Building.
An old man with white head leaned on an office chair and flipped through the plan in his hand.
"Yes, let Lang'er do the virtual world of "Realm"!" The old man put down his plan and said to the middle-aged man standing at his desk.
The middle-aged man smiled, "Father, this child Lang'er has grown up."
The old man also showed a kind and gratifying smile on his face.
...
Professional player studio.
A young man stroked the familiar keyboard and felt sad: "Old friend, I'm going to say goodbye!"
"Brother, "Realm" is a broader world and more suitable for us." A young man who looked very similar to the young man comforted him.
"The Realm is different from all the games known now. I wonder if we can do it?" The young man from the eldest brother was a little worried.
"Brother, second brother, don't worry about these things. Let's have a set first. I will definitely not lose this time!" Another young man who looked very similar shouted.
"Hahaha! You will lose again." The young brother, the young brother, smiled at each other.
...
Similar things continue to arise in the world. People who want to play games are looking forward to it; people who want to make money are looking forward to it; people who have special purposes are looking forward to it. In any case, countless people are looking forward to the opening of "Realm".
After ten days of crazy sales, the game login was finally launched at 2:00 pm on May 1, 2016.
In the small, simple room, there is only a larger single bed and a wooden cabinet.
A slightly bald and dark boy sat on the bed. The boy looked a little thin, ordinary, with a pair of eyes that were unconscious and a little numb, but it also contained the basic agility of a living person, so that he would not look like a dead person. It was just as if he had been sleeping enough and had no energy. This was the main reason why he looked a little bald and dark.
The boy is named Mo Xuan. He is 14 years old and is in the second year of junior high school at Nankai Middle School. He is a relatively normal otaku. By the way, this should be the male lead...probably!
Mo Xuan put on the "Realm" game helmet and lay on the bed.
An electronic sound started
"Did! Do you want to enter the game "Realm"?"
"Yes." Mo Xuan responded.
"Did! I'm recording my identity, please wait..."
"Drip! The identity has been recorded. I started scanning the body to generate virtual characters. Please wait..."
"Drip! The virtual character has been generated and login begins."
After three consecutive sounds, Mo Xuan felt a sense of sleepiness and his consciousness gradually became drowsy...
When consciousness recovered again, he was already in a vast and empty space.
"This is the login space." Mo Xuan looked at this space. He had read the game introduction and knew that he would enter "Realm" for the first time because he wanted to name and modify the appearance of the virtual characters. He would enter this login space. Next time he logged in, he would directly enter the game world.
"Did! Please name the virtual character. Please note that the name cannot be changed once it is confirmed!"
Mo Xuan has read the game introduction and knows the importance of a name, because the virtual characters in the "Real Realm" game are bound. Everyone corresponds to a virtual character in the "Realm" virtual world. Everyone is equivalent to the "Game Account Password". Only you can log in to your own virtual character, and no one else can. Moreover, the virtual characters cannot be deleted as soon as they are established, so this name is equivalent to the name of your own in the virtual world and cannot be changed.
"Black." Mo Xuan said it without hesitation. This name was what Mo Xuan thought of before entering the game.
"Did! This name has not been registered, will it be used?"
"Yes." Mo Xuan did not hesitate.
"Drip! The name has been confirmed. Now the virtual character image is the same as the player's reality. Will it be modified?"
"yes."
As soon as Mo Xuan finished speaking, white light spots condensed in front of Mo Xuan to form a light screen larger than Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan looked at himself, who reflected like a mirror in the light screen, wearing black pajamas and a black T-shirt with white patterns. The ordinary boy who looked a bit bald and dark was exactly the same as himself in reality, and even his clothes were the same.
"Drip! The model has been copied, please operate and modify it on the light screen..."
Mo Xuan saw that the "self" in the light screen had been reduced by more than twice and turned into a three-dimensional perspective image. His side view, top view, and front view appeared in the mirror. At the same time, many numbers, text, buttons, and options appeared on the mirror.
"Trouble! Can't it be simple?" Mo Xuan looked at the many numbers, texts, buttons, and options on the light screen and felt a little troublesome, but he still insisted on reading carefully because this matter is very important.
Mo Xuan looked at it for a few seconds and saw the savior, the option of "randomly generates virtual characters' appearance".
"beep!"
Mo Xuan clicked on this option without hesitation.
The image of himself flashed in the light screen and turned into a strong young man. After looking at it, Mo Xuan clicked again. This time he became a sinister boy with a scar on his face. Mo Xuan clicked again. This time he became a fat young man. Mo Xuan clicked again... After repeated seven times, this time he randomly showed an ordinary young man. Mo Xuan thought it was okay, so he looked at the weight and height data.
"No, that's it." Mo Xuan felt that it was good and didn't want to bother anymore, so he clicked the confirm button.
"Drip! The virtual character image setting has been completed, and you will start to enter the game."
"I wish you a happy time in "Realm"!"
Accompanied by the system's blessing, a white light enveloped Mo Xuan and disappeared with Mo Xuan.
The novice village in "Realm" is very simple. There is only a stone-paved square. There is a small wooden house next to the square. In front of the hut is a kind old man with white beards. This kind old man is the only npc in the novice village: the village chief.
On the square of the Newbie Village.
From time to time, white light flashed by, and people wearing novice clothes appeared in the square with the white light.
A white light flashed, and Mo Xuan (Hei), who looked like an ordinary young figure, came to the square of the Novice Village.
"There are so many people! This is just a novice village." Mo Xuan looked at the players who kept appearing in the square and sighed. This is still the one who entered the game as soon as "Realm" was opened, and there were more people who could not catch up with the first time.
"I wonder if Tianyu is here? Haha! Even if I come, I may not recognize it." Mo Xuan thought so in his heart, but he subconsciously looked around and looked for Tianyu.
Tianyu's full name is Yang Tianyu, Mo Xuan's childhood sweetheart, neighbor and classmate. Because their father is a good friend, the two have known each other since childhood.
Mo Xuan's father and Yang Tianyu's father met when they joined the army. Moreover, Mo Xuan heard his father say that they were neighbors because he and Yang Tianyu's father were interested in selling them together when they went to buy a house with him, but I imagine how good their relationship was.
Mo Xuan and Tianyu have a good relationship, so they made an appointment to level up together.
"Realm" is divided into novice villages by region, rather than random. Generally, one city and one novice village, but some cities with a large population will be divided into several novice villages. The cities where Mo Xuan and Tianyu are not big cities have only one novice village, and they must be in a novice village, so they made an appointment to level up together.
Mo Xuan suddenly noticed that more and more people gathered in the cabin. He remembered the only novice mission in the novice village. He thought that he should take the task first, otherwise it would be more troublesome to wait for more people.
Mo Xuan walked towards the wooden house. He felt a little uncomfortable as soon as he took a step. Mo Xuan continued to move forward indifferently.
Because Mo Xuan understood that when he randomly modified his appearance, his height and weight were different from his real body. Although it was not big, it still caused discomfort. The official "Realm" said that this discomfort would disappear as long as he had more activities. Whether he would modify his appearance or not would have an impact on playing the game. Therefore, although there would be no temporary discomfort without modifying his appearance, most people still chose to modify it in order to look good.
The Novice Village is a similar copy created by the official to adapt to the virtual body and virtual world. The official website of "Realm" has stated that the Novice Village has been upgraded quickly, but it has not dropped; there is only one Novice mission; there is only one Novice mission in the task; there is only a slime in the monster and there is no pressure to fight; there is only one village chief in the npc; the level can only be upgraded to level ten; there is no hidden task; there is no hidden scene.
There were more than a dozen people in front of the village chief of the Novice Village. Although it was not neat, everyone still voluntarily lined up. Mo Xuan came to the end of the line and immediately lined up behind him.
The team moved forward, and it was Mo Xuan's turn soon.
"Dear child, are you willing to do me a favor?" said the kind village chief cordially.
"I do." Mo Xuan replied.
