"ha!"
"Well, that's probably it, but it needs to be actually used before it can be considered used... Let's go forward and see if we can find any targets..."
The two of them are now at the exit in the front of the village. A dirt road extends forward in this direction. There are some fields on the side of the road. Further away, a few sparse trees slowly appear, and then some woods.
In the distance there seemed to be a field full of flowers and grass. A river passed through the gaps in the fields beside the road, and then flowed into the depths of the field. The sound of the river flowing came from afar, bringing some vitality to the silent wilderness.
The sun was setting and the night was getting darker. Iron Ambition wanted to discuss with Duan Qing about finding a place to rest. Duan Qing expressed his interest in the skill system discussed earlier and wanted to experience the skills in this game, so Iron Ambition
Drag him here.
Duan Qing originally wanted to go alone, but after half a day of communication, Brother Tie had already taken a liking to Duan Qing, a "newcomer", so when such a sensitive word as battle was mentioned, of course Iron Ambition had to point it out.
"After all, I am your first friend here. How can I rest assured when I leave you alone and let you go out to 'test the knife'? This world is still very dangerous..."
Ambition of Iron was like this, and it was hard for Duan Qing to refuse, so at this moment Iron Ambition stood on the road at the entrance of the village, watching Duan Qing experience the fighting method of this game, although there was no target in front of Duan Qing.
The degree of freedom in "Free World" is much higher than Duan Qing imagined. For example, when Duan Qing first came to the village, he thought that there was no "safe zone" setting in the village, or in fact there was none - in "Free World"
You can do anything anywhere, of course including communicating and discussing, killing people, staring at the sky, studying moves and thinking about life, even between men and women... Of course, there must be resistance to absolute freedom.
Regardless of the various social problems caused by certain behaviors, if someone does something excessive, regardless of whether the player group is willing or not, the indigenous people of the free world will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it, so the superficial safety still exists.
When it comes to combat, players can pull out their weapons at any time and anywhere, wield them as they please, and then... pay the price - as long as you can afford it.
However, through Duan Qing's observation during this period, this "Novice Village" is still very harmonious. There has never been any cheating, abduction, fights or the like... Well, those two people went there when they first entered the village.
Those solved outside the village should not be counted.
The village is not big, but there are still many villagers, and they all look simple. In addition, those active players who want to experiment with skills and other things in the village simply have "I am looking for trouble" written on their faces.
words.
After seeing the mighty appearance of the guards patrolling the village, Duan Qing decisively devoted himself to the just side of maintaining peace in the village. In order not to disturb the people who lived and worked in peace and contentment, he had no choice but to dance with guns and sticks outside the village. However, as a new person who could not
No matter how new a newcomer is, there is one problem he needs to solve first: he doesn't have any weapons.
The weapon in his hand at this time is the short blade that Iron Ambition has just eliminated. This weapon should be called a short sword. It is as short as its name describes, and is only a little longer than an ordinary dagger.
There are still many rust marks attached to it.
[Rough dagger (normal)]
[Weapon power: Weaker]
[A dagger was lost not far from Phil’s tree house. Judging from the rust of the iron sword body, this dagger has been abandoned for a long time, but it can still be used.]
[Phil’s tree house has not been inhabited by intelligent life similar to humans for a long time. Perhaps this dagger can tell us part of the story of the tree house before it was abandoned. 】
"Anyway, I already have a better weapon. I will give you this short sword. This thing was found outside a tree house in the Emerald Forest..."
"It sounds a little strange..." Duan Qing took a breath, and then continued to put on some posture: "No matter how you think about it, you should find good things in the tree house."
"Do you think I don't want to? The tree house must have been searched, but... nothing useful was found. It is very dilapidated inside." Iron Ambition sighed: "What's more, I am definitely not the first.
If you arrive, any good goods must have been searched out by people who have been here before."
"So, explorers always have the advantage...Drink!" Duan Qing slashed to the side: "This is the reason why so many people rush to enter the game as soon as it starts...
..Tsk, if you think about it this way, wouldn’t we be at a huge disadvantage..."
"There is no need to worry about this. I heard that novice villages appear in batches. Every time a batch of new people will appear in a certain village, when the number reaches a certain level, no more new people will appear. They will continue
Appeared in the next novice village I don't know where." Iron Ambition said: "This is why you can see the accounts of major guilds everywhere. They want to absorb fresh blood, so they can only do this.
.For example, what is called being free from the world... There is nothing we can do about it..."
"Oh, that person..."
As the setting sun sets, the surrounding light becomes darker and darker, and the breeze also brings a bit of coolness. Iron Ambition pointed to a field in front and said: "It will get dark soon, we have to go back quickly.
Let’s try it out with that one.”
He frowned, and then said: "I guarantee you don't want to know what the dark night of this world looks like now."
Following the direction of his finger, a frog squatted there with bulging cheeks. Except for its huge size, it looked no different from frogs in real life. As if it felt the gaze of the two people, the frog turned around.
Come over, the innocent big eyes like light bulbs stared straight here, and then the chin bulged twice like bubbles.
"Quack."
Duan Qing observed the frog-like creature, nodded, and then walked over. When he got closer, he realized that the frog's mouth was a bit big.
"People here call him Wuha, but we players are used to calling him... Big Mouth Frog."
"Very vivid." Duan Qing agreed, then stepped forward and raised the knife.
The dagger struck the frog, no, Uha's head. It didn't cause a bloody mouth as expected, but was torn off by the slimy skin.
Finally realizing that the person who came over was not kind, the frog made a clumsy counterattack: he hit him head on.
"Quack!"
Duan Qing staggered when he was hit by the frog, and then steadied himself. He glanced at the life bar reflexively, where it read life: 91%.
What is this? Frog collision? And it can really knock out the health? Duan Qing's face turned ugly, as if some world views had been subverted. He jumped up angrily and started a fierce "hand-to-hand" fight with the frog.
Accompanied by the croaking of frogs and the shouts of humans, the fight lasted for dozens of seconds. In the end, of course humans won, and the so-called fighting was naturally without any skills. Duan Qing gasped and looked at the suffocation
Iron Ambition's face was so distorted by the suppressed laughter that he seriously questioned:
"Is this a monster that a novice fights? Could it be that you found out that I am more handsome than you, and then deliberately brought me here, although I admit that I am indeed handsome..."
"No, no, no, I was surprised by your skeleton, young hero. You must have hidden it deep inside. Maybe you used a palm trick that fell from the sky in order to surprise me. How could a mere frog stump you...
.”
Duan Qing looked straight at the other person, and then suddenly pointed forward with his left hand: "How dare you look at my joke, even my uncle and aunt can't bear it, I want to challenge you!"
Iron Ambition opened his mouth wide: "...What do you want to do?"
Duan Qing relaxed his expression: "Come on, come on, just make a few gestures, let me feel the battle of this game... How can I do it if I don't play with you?"
"Are you sure?" Iron Heart put away his smile: "Although I am only level six, but..."
He touched his chin and thought for a moment, then took off a wooden shield from his back: "Okay, this way...I won't use a weapon, I will just use the shield to block, and you can attack."
He slowly walked to the middle of the dirt road and stood there, then grinned: "I will let you feel the charm of this game."
Duan Qing also smiled.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two people standing opposite each other, quite a bit like a showdown between masters, but the next moment, this meaning was broken.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Duan Qing held the sword with both hands, then howled like a slaughtering pig, rushed forward, and used a sword full of brute force, slashing Iron Ambition in the face.
Go down.
With a crisp "clang" sound, Duan Qing staggered a few steps, and then fell to the ground. Opposite him, Iron Ambition retracted his left arm holding the shield, and then re-arranged his blocking posture: "The original effect
It's not so obvious, but your strength is definitely much worse than mine, so...this is the consequence of blocking."
Well, the difference in strength attributes and anti-shock force... are very scientific.
Duan Qing dusted himself off and stood up, and then heard the voice of encouragement coming from the other side: "Don't be discouraged, young player, try attacking a few more times."
"Hey, you are not needed." Duan Qing stepped forward and slashed, but this time, he did not dare to use such strength.
It was still the crisp sound of the wooden shield being blocked. This time Duan Qing was not so out of control. His dagger was only pushed by the force of the shock and flew up together with his arm.
Duan Qing gritted his teeth and continued to use both hands to slash at the shield, before it was knocked away again.
The second blow, the third blow, the fourth blow... After a few bangs, the shield was finally shaken open at his insistence. But Duan Qing also stopped - he kept wanting to
He continued to swing the sword, but he couldn't use it anymore.
Iron Ambition, who was hiding behind the wooden shield, grinned: "Blocking costs physical strength. Except for some special moves, the physical strength spent is generally related to the strength value, but..."
He bumped forward, pushed Duan Qing's body back, and then repositioned himself: "Your physical strength must be consumed faster than mine, so you can't do anything now... If
If I had used a weapon, you would have been dead."
Is this how stamina is used... Very interesting.
Duan Qing wiped the sweat from his head and replied: "I can still move now!"
"Of course, you only need to take a few breaths and your stamina will be restored, so...hey, do you want to continue?"
"Stop talking nonsense and take the move!" Duan Qing yelled, then stepped forward again.
Iron Heart looked at the setting sun, and then curled his lips. If night fell, they would not have the leisure to continue their leisurely research here.
Let you try it one last time.
The man in front of him strode forward like the first time. He shook his head in his heart. He still made a serious expression and stood his right arm firmly in front of his chest, ready to give this new player who challenged him again and again a blow.
A lesson. However, when the man rushed to him, his eyes suddenly shrank.
After two long strides, the man suddenly flew up, stepped forward, and stabbed Iron Ambition's face with the dagger in his hand.
Is this... a striding thrust... Iron Ambition's face condensed, and he raised his shield to block the sword.
Duan Qing smiled secretly and suppressed the light in his eyes. Then he suddenly stopped his forward movement and hugged himself.
His body landed in front of Iron Ambition's feet, and then slid backwards.
Inertia works in this world.
Confirming this conclusion in his heart, Duan Qing made the posture of a player falling to the ground after a tackle, and slid past Iron Ambition's feet. Dust suddenly rose up from the loess-covered road, and in the hazy moment, a figure emerged from the ground.
Jump up.
"Innocent!" Iron Heart roared angrily, turned around and struck out with a shield.
When the dust was flying, there was a sound of fists clashing in the air, and then a muffled grunt. Duan Qing stood up and made a leap, then made a beautiful roundhouse kick in the air, kicking the shield away diagonally.
, and then using the remaining momentum of his spin, he stabbed the opponent's open chest with a sword.
This time, it was Iron Ambition's turn to take a few steps back, and then knelt on the ground. He looked at his health, then covered his chest, and said with difficulty: "The one just now... was one of Wu Hao's six methods.
..."
"It's just a random use, don't take it to heart." Duan Qing stepped forward and pulled him up from the ground: "Who is Wu Hao? Why don't I recognize him?"
"The famous six shield-breaking techniques were summarized by Wu Hao, so...hey, are you really..."
"Why don't I know...forget it." Duan Qing whispered to himself, then raised his head: "Well, then I can also create my own Qingshan Eight Methods or something, and then go out and fool two people.
Raise a big banner and come out..."
"Do you think being a master is so easy..."
"It's very easy to be famous. If you want to be famous these days, there aren't many ways..."
The two laughed and cursed for a while, and then Iron Heart asked: "Okay, okay, let's get to the point. How do you feel? Have you understood the skills?"
"There is no system prompt, it seems..."
"...Don't be discouraged. You will definitely understand those basic skills in the future." Iron Heart still maintained a happy expression: "It is probably because your attributes are insufficient. After all, it seems that attributes are the most likely to affect
This thing..."
Duan Qing thought for a moment, and then asked: "What are your initial attributes?"
"Let me think about it...it looks like 6, 4, 5, 5. I don't remember very clearly..."
"What? Your power is 6?"
"Yes, after all, I am engaged in... Well, anyway, I am very strong." As if he didn't want to know more about himself, Iron Heart asked back: "What is your current strength value?"
"...4."
"If it's low, then go up a few levels first and try again."
"Don't treat upgrading as drinking water, I don't believe you anymore..."
"Hey, it's really like drinking water, but the latter part...forget it, you'll know later."
It seemed that the discussion in this area had no results, or there was no basis for making a conclusion, so Duan Qing's first knife test in "Free World" ended successfully.
"It's getting dark soon, so we'd better go back quickly." Iron Ambition said.
Duan Qing did not answer, but just stood there and said: "You go back and find a place first. I want to study it further."
"But the night is dangerous..."
"I know, I just want to try some... things again. I'll catch up with you in a while."
The sky in the west was dark red, and the surrounding area was gradually sinking into shadows. Under the dim light, Duan Qing's expression became blurred. Iron Ambition looked at the other party, but there was nothing more, but when he turned his head to come.
He walked down the road and said, "I'll wait for you at the hotel. If you don't know me, just ask someone."
"Don't worry, the short blade will be returned to you."
"I've given it to you." Iron Ambition waved his hand, and his voice gradually faded away: "I seem to be an angry person..."
After Brother Tie's figure became difficult to distinguish, Duan Qing slowly turned around and walked in one direction. There were many frogs there. One of them showed his gaze as before and patted himself on the back.
With a flexible chin, he looked over with a straight look.
"So..." Duan Qing murmured, "I don't like to owe others favors..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure suddenly rushed forward.
Amidst the whistling sound, Duan Qing came to the front of the Wuha, and then stopped suddenly. The shock of extreme movement and silence appeared on Duan Qing's body at the same time. He raised his hands together and stepped out with one foot, the short blade flashing in the dark.
It became difficult to identify in the environment, but in that wave, a cold light was still drawn.
The powerful slash fell suddenly, and the path drawn by the cold light extended from one side of the frog's head to the other side of the body. After a moment, a blood flower suddenly bloomed from that line.
The sticky skin that had previously had extraordinary protection against cuts did not work this time.
The frog flew up after being struck by this chop, croaking, and waving its limbs in the air, as if it wanted to struggle, but its efforts only caused its big mouth to change from upward to downward.
He turned half of his body.
However, before it landed, a figure had already appeared behind it.
It seems that the toes are standing still, and then a few leaps and additions. Viewed from the rear, in the near-dark weather, the black shadow and darkness seem to merge into one, like a black stream of light, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
.
Liu Guang paused behind the frog, held the sword in one hand, and executed a horizontal slash.
Although the blade of the sword was covered with rust marks, the reflection from the tip was still heart-stopping. The light passed through an arc, almost coincident with the frog's head at the end, and then separated.
It could be vaguely seen that when the dagger crossed the frog's body, the arm of the figure holding the sword seemed to shake. However, unlike the expected result, the frog's body still landed "normally", but this time there was no cry.
Already.
Instant attacks...are ineffective. But this is to be expected, what a scientific world...that's all.
After finishing the work, Duan Qing turned around and was about to leave, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the frog lying on the ground twitching a few more times. Duan Qing handed the dagger to his other hand, held the sword in his backhand, and then made a fierce move: "
Let you stare at me."
The frog flew up again, and this time it should have really died, because Duan Qing felt a force flowing into his body. He also felt this way when he defeated the last frog. This is probably
It should be set up similarly to experience points.
"My body coordination is very poor...Oh, I really don't recognize myself anymore."
The figure shook his head, played with the sword a few times, then sheathed the sword and walked slowly towards the direction of the village. There were some whispers to himself in the middle: "It doesn't matter, so what if it can't be used.
....."
"So what can I do..."
At first, after a while, the voice slowly turned into singing. The cold wind blew by, blowing away the unknown tune someone was humming. There was a desolation in the back, and it gradually disappeared into the falling night.
