The login time of new players is stuck at the end of today's game time for old players, so whether it is Happy Stick or Niu Niu, they cannot take their good friends and elder sisters to "level up" for a long time.
They can only tell the newbies as much as possible about the various settings and gameplay of this hard-core game before it goes offline, and tell them not to die.
The death penalty in this game is indeed a bit heavy.
However, when they saw the newbies holding tattered weapons, wearing tattered retinue armors and gearing up, looking forward to it, the veteran players felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.
Perhaps the "tragedy" of the bionic snail will happen again.
"Don't worry, Brother Bang."
Before going offline, Meow Meow comforted the worried Happy Stick:
"You won't understand this game until you die once. If they still use the mentality of playing an ordinary game, something will definitely happen here. Even if you explain everything, in such a hard-core and real environment, there will always be trouble.
Various accidents occur.
It speaks volumes that Lumina, who was so smart, could die from slipping.
Unstoppable!
Relax, it's only three days, can you still catch up with the end of the Cadman City event, and it will take time for you guys to level up. I got the blood bottle from Mr. Murphy, let's clear the secret vault copy together tomorrow?
"
"Okay, I'll make an appointment to go online tomorrow."
Happy Stick sighed.
He brought too many people this time and found that he couldn't handle it. He felt a bit wrong in his heart, but he soon came back to his senses, looked at Brother Meow Meow in surprise, and asked:
"Where did you get the blood bottle? Is it the kind that opens the seal of the vault? Why didn't I? You meow meow, you have received a hidden mission and can eat alone, right?"
"No, it's not a mission."
Meow Meow proudly touched the dirty psychic bag on his waist and whispered:
"Mr. Murphy got three blood bottles in total, and gave one to me, one to Niu Niu, and another one maybe reserved for the five guys on the 'night shift'.
I suspect it may be a benefit given to players after the favorability level is increased?"
"Damn! Do you really want to lick the NPC?"
Happy Stick had an expression on his face like "I am a dignified person and I don't want to be a dog licker", but after seeing Brother Mingmiao getting tangible benefits, his heart began to change.
But this guy is quite cunning.
He knew that Brother Miao Miao and the group of student gangs had been surrounding Mr. Murphy, and their favorability must have skyrocketed. If he got close to him, wouldn't he be like a beggar on his knees?
no!
Not to be underestimated!
You have to change the NPC to lick it. Uh, no, can the thing of increasing favorability be called licking?
This is part of the game mechanism. If you don't like it, don't play it.
With this idea in mind, the Happy Stick was offline in the safe area of the shack exclusively for male players. As the scene in the game world dimmed, the scene almost seamlessly switched to the VR real-life mode of the game helmet.
Brother Bang did not take off his helmet immediately, but habitually walked around the forum.
As a former professional, he was used to collecting bits and pieces of information from various channels, and he might be able to find some surprises. A few minutes later, when he was about to take off his helmet and go for a run, he suddenly found that there were too many in the forum.
A post, and almost as soon as it was posted, it was immediately pinned to the top and even featured.,
"Zhuo! Don't you avoid people when trading in PY now?"
Happy Stick complained, then clicked on the post, and then discovered that there was a reason why this post was highlighted.
The name is also strange, it's called "Under the Moon", with "First Issue" on the back in a decent way. It seems like it's going to be a series.
As for who wrote it, you can tell just by looking at the name.
"Hey, brothers and sisters who are still fighting in Cadman City, everyone, this is your dear Brother Ayang. Since new players may encounter various problems when entering the game, I decided to collect the information I have collected so far.
The game information we received has been summarized to give you some answers.
First, the game background!
The background of "Real World" is set in a magic-like super-medieval world. Why is it called "super-medieval"?
Because this world not only has psychic powers, but also very cool fantasy engineering, or factors called steam engineering.
My gay friends and I found steam-powered mechanical refrigerators, automatic sweepers, kitchen assistants and even a three-wheeled walker similar to a motorcycle in the ruins of Cadman City. We spent some time 'exploring'
Check their insides (actually, they are dismantled, I hope their owners don’t suddenly jump out and cause trouble for us).
In short, we can be sure that those strange-looking things are not just specious textures, their internal structures follow certain mechanical principles.
Pictured below.
Pictures, pictures, pictures.
After seeing these horribly sophisticated gadgets, everyone should have a clearer understanding of the game world they are currently in.
Technology exists here, although it is different from what we think.
Therefore, if you choose the 'Gunner' profession, don't be discouraged. Maybe in the future you can actually use a super-advanced steam sniper to kill the BOSS with one shot from 800 miles away, laugh."
"Depend on!"
Seeing Ah Yu click his name in the post, Happy Stick immediately raised his middle finger in front of his eyes.
But after looking at those unclear pictures that A Yu sent, he quite agreed with this speculation about "steam engineering".
Since the game provides job changes for gunners, there will definitely be corresponding game content that will be unlocked in the future. The current difficulties are only temporary, and the future and tomorrow will be bright.
Hey, better days are yet to come.
Brother Bang encouraged himself and then continued reading:
“Then, let’s talk about our current mainline NPC Mr. Murphy and his ‘harem group’.
Lord Murphy's background is from the fringe of the Blood Vulture Clan in Cadman City. According to the details we learned from the new NPC Mrs. Tracey, he was picked up by Mrs. Tracey in the city in the autumn and winter of Era 1109 of the game.
to and transformed into a vampire.
He was only 18 years old at that time, but he had already seen a lot of suffering in the world, so he was determined to change this damn world.
In other words, our wise, mighty, handsome Lord Murphy is actually a 'vampire baby' who appears to be 19 years old, but is actually only 1 and a half years old.
But he couldn't stand the various barbaric atrocities in this world, and firmly believed that there was a way to eliminate all cruel and dark atrocities. For this reason, he conducted in-depth research on the summoning of other worlds and achieved unprecedented success!
He summoned us!
Fearless warriors from another world, and invites us to participate in his big plan that even he himself cannot explain clearly (probably because the development team has not compiled it yet).
According to Mr. Murphy's previous words and attitude, he probably wanted to grow slowly with our help. However, the sudden disaster in Cadman City has shattered his plan.
This directly led to his current actions becoming more proactive and purposeful.
Well, this is not what I said, it was the exact words of Miss Miriam, the director of the survivor camp.
I'm just summarizing them.
Obviously, Lord Murphy represents the player's faction in the game. He will definitely take this opportunity to permanently break away from the Blood Vulture Clan, or rebuild a new Blood Vulture Clan!
Because according to some information obtained from the eldest lady Femis, the Blood Vulture clan in the current game background has all been wiped out in this attack.
Therefore, Ah Yu made an irresponsible guess. After the special event of 'The Last Night of Cadman City', players may usher in a period of peaceful development, and our real novice village will probably be based on the current city.
Ruins and survivor camps set up for the skeleton.
What is a true hardcore game?
Even the fucking novice village has to be built by the players themselves! This is called top-level torture, right?
The current main NPCs will become the core figures in the player's faction, so it is absolutely necessary to have a good relationship with them.
Here is the core explanation of this post
About favorability!
What can be confirmed at present is that there is a hidden favorability system in the game. This can be seen from the different attitudes of Mr. Murphy towards us old players and new players who are new to the game.
It is currently speculated that the three players with the highest favorability from Mr. Murphy should be Brother Miao Miao, Niu Niu and Sister Lumi.
Here I want to criticize this loser Ge Bao by name!
Although he was also one of the two players in the first round of testing, he wasted a good opportunity. As a result, his impression in Mr. Murphy's mind was not as vivid as the above three, but this is not a big problem!
Because after several days of lurking observation by Ah Yu, I have discovered the secret of favorability.
Our current NPCs all have ‘hobbies’!
For example, the white-haired NPC Maxim prefers fighting and favors warriors. Fighting alongside him or actively competing with him can effectively improve your favorability. There is also a dialogue option called ‘Challenge Mode’.
I'm too timid to try.
But I suspect it should be a more realistic deathmatch mode.
Therefore, it is best to increase Maxim's favorability by fighting with him.
Miss Miriam prefers rationality and favors fair trade and the collection of intellectual items.
Our team found a hardcover copy of "A Brief History of the Vampires of Transia" in the city. It was taken away by Miss Miriam for 2 gold coins. Although we must have been ripped off,
Miss Miriam is happy to be out of the way.
So you can be sure that looking for rare books is definitely one of the ways to increase Miss Miriam's favorability.
In addition, she is currently the supervisor of the survivor camp. If she is willing to help out and complete non-combat tasks in the camp, she should also be able to increase her favorability.
However, Miss Miriam’s position among the current NPCs is actually quite embarrassing.
It can be seen from her attitude that she hates vampires. In the current plot development, she has always been a marginalized person, so whether her favorability level should be improved or not is a matter of opinion.
What comes next is the highlight!
The eldest lady of the "Three Rich Lolita" Femis and the "Beautiful Witch" Mrs. Tracey.
The former's identity has been confirmed to be the daughter of the current leader of the Blood Vulture Clan and the Blood Princess of the Blood Vulture Clan.
The latter is even more incredible. It is certain that she is a relative of Lord Murphy. The most important thing is that she is currently the only character who has a clear close relationship with the main NPC.
It is certain that in the subsequent plot, Mrs. Tracey's role may even be higher than that of the eldest lady, if Lord Murphy really chooses to break away from the Blood Vulture family and form a new force.
I think veteran players are already familiar with the eldest lady's three-no personality. To put it simply, she is a arrogant rich lolita with a cold and prickly personality. She is always aloof and will be severely scolded if she doesn't say a word well.
Kind of guy.
However, the way to increase her favorability is surprisingly simple.
My companion Meow Shark found the relics of several vampires in the ruins, and gave them to the eldest lady and got her thanks. So at present, the most effective way to increase favorability is to 'dig graves', eh. Mine
It means searching for all items related to the blood vultures and vampires in the ruins.
In addition, the eldest lady is a very professional psionicist and is good at teaching others, so if you can discuss some psionic issues with her in a humble way, or find some psionic classics to present to her, it should also increase your favorability.
Judging from the current situation, the reputation of the eldest lady is basically a must-have for players who are interested in taking the caster route.
Because she is the only one who will explicitly teach players psychic skills."
"This guy looks unreliable, but he turns out to be surprisingly powerful!"
When I saw the happy stick here, I immediately liked this post.
At the current stage when the game has just been open for 10 days, such a set of posts related to reputation and favorability have been summarized. It can be seen that this guy Ayun has indeed noticed many details in the game that have not been revealed and provided his own analysis.
This alone makes Brother Bang fall in love with this boy A'Yuan. Who wouldn't love a handsome young man who is reliable and willing to work hard?
He grinned, adjusted the game helmet to "visual" mode, made the suspended VR interface in front of him translucent, walked to the balcony as if wearing a motorcycle helmet, lit a cigarette for himself, and continued to check on Ah Yu
The last part of the post.
This part is simple:
"Finally, let's talk about the increase in favorability of the 'Beautiful Witch' Mrs. Tracey. In addition, Mrs. Tracey is the most sultry character I have ever seen in the game. No one should object to this.
Opinion?
Compared to the eldest lady of Proud Thorn and the fringe Miriam, although Mrs. Tris has just appeared on the scene, her attitude towards players can already be described as doting, second only to Lord Murphy's enthusiasm.
There is a prerequisite for improving Mrs. Trish's personal reputation, that is, you must first complete a round of twelve-ring object-finding tasks she gives you to gain her initial trust.
These twelve ring tasks are completely random.
The 7 people in our team received 7 completely different tasks, but the difficulty was not high. Everything can be found in the ruins of the city.
Now comes the key point!
Mrs. Tris was once seriously injured, and she needed strong alcohol to numb the pain. Therefore, the main way to increase Mrs. Tris's favorability was to give her alcohol!
Yes, you heard it right!
The highest-end favorability improvement is so plain and boring.
This is not Ah Yu’s personal conjecture, it has been verified!
Ge Bao, the royal sister-in-law, spent five hours in the ruins of Cadman City and found nearly forty bottles of various fine wines, and gave them to Mrs. Tris before going offline. Guess what?
Mrs. Cuisi not only praised Pigeon Bao’s wisdom and enthusiasm, but even gave him a physical reward!
An alchemist's notebook written when she was young (at least 350 years ago).
Ge Bao is currently the first alchemist apprentice in the game.
That’s right!
This game has a ‘skill book’ setting!
After reading the manual carefully, you can turn into a sub-professional alchemist. The most important thing is that it is not a one-time consumable and can be read repeatedly to improve skill proficiency.
The only pity is that the book cannot be lent to others to read without Mrs. Tracey's permission, and it can basically be regarded as binding.
Of course, if Gebao is willing to take the risk of clearing his favorability and try to PY with other players in private, then just pretend that I didn't say anything.
This game is very free.
But it does have a set of rules that we can't see that constrain us. They are not hard and fast rules that mean we can cross those lines at any time, provided that we can bear the cost of breaking the rules.
Ha, the above is all the contents of the first issue of "Under the Moon". I hope it can be helpful to new players. Goodbye, everyone, we will see you in the next issue!
As for whether there will be a second issue, it depends on everyone’s follow-up, bye~”
