Since their invention, virtual games have gradually replaced most of the world's entertainment activities.
Traveling in the virtual world in their free time has long been the choice of most people.
Ai Lan is naturally no exception.
Today, a new war strategy game called "Invincible Heroes: New World" will be officially opened for operation.
Ai Lan is an extremely fanatical lord-building player. He has a fanatical interest in building territories, cultivating heroes, and conquering cities and territories far beyond ordinary people.
"Butler, have all the items on the account been sold?"
"Sir, all your assets in "Three Kingdoms" have been sold."
"The nutrient solution you ordered for one year can be delivered before the start of the new game."
It seems that everything is ready, and all he needs to do is play games with peace of mind.
"After the nutrient solution arrives, fill it up directly for me."
"Okay, sir."
After saying hello to the housekeeper, Ai Lan took off her clothes and lay down in the game room.
"Do you want to enter "Three Kingdoms"?"
"No, go to "Invincible Heroes: New World"."
The scene in front of her suddenly changed. A twelve-winged archangel flapped its wings and came to Ai Lan. "Dear players, the game will officially launch in two hours. Please wait patiently."
"Is it possible to create characters in advance."
"Pay 1,000 credits and you can create a character in advance."
Creating a character in advance is actually to enter the game a few minutes earlier than other players.
But just for these few minutes, Ai Lan needs to pay 1,000 credits.
With 1,000 credits, you can buy a real-life silicone doll that can move.
"It's really dark."
"Pay."
Complaints are complaints, Ai Lan has only one hobby in his life. Compared with silicone dolls, he wants to enter the game earlier than other players.
Even 1 minute is fine.
"Ding!"
"Credit deducted."
The scene in front of him changed again, and a virtual information bar appeared in front of Ai Lan.
"Ask players to create names."
"Ai Lan."
"Please select your camp, race and talent."
Invincible Heroes·New World has a total of nine camps, thousands of races, tens of thousands of professions, and hundreds of thousands of talents.
When players create characters, they can make the most reasonable combination according to their own needs.
The nine major camps are:
A system of sovereignty dominated by humans and humanoids.
The natural system is dominated by elves, dwarves and centaurs.
The barbaric system created by nomads such as orcs and barbarians.
The purgatory system created by demons, demons, and followers of evil gods.
An undead system created by undead creatures.
Dark system dominated by underground creatures
Elemental creatures create elemental systems
The spiritual weapon system created by mages, lanterns and naga.
There is also the last one, the marine type, which is dominated by fish and lizard people.
Ai Lan had a very clear goal before entering the game.
He wants to accumulate as much first-mover advantage as possible in the early game.
In this kind of war strategy game, if individual players cannot snowball in the early stage, they will only become cannon fodder in the middle and late stages.
"Filter out all combat options for me."
Information on the official website shows that this game roughly divides players into three categories.
Combat type, lord type and internal affairs type.
The combat type focuses on developing one's own combat abilities, with arms, life skills, etc. being auxiliary.
As you can tell from the name, the internal affairs type is specially prepared for life-style players who don't like to fight and kill.
There is no doubt that Ai Lan will take the lord route.
Combat occupations, skills and talents have no effect on him and can be screened out directly.
"Sifting completed."
"Help me filter out the internal affairs and auxiliary options."
After these two screenings, more than half of the options presented to Ai Lan were missing.
"Why do you still have so many magical talents?"
"I don't want any magic ones, I've screened them all."
The magic won't start to work until the middle to late stages, so stay in the corner for now.
With so many options out of the way, Ai Lan can finally start choosing what she wants.
Nature/Moon Elf/Beast Spirit.
Sovereignty/Terran/Crossbowman training.
Undead/Skeleton/Skeleton Splicer
…
Soon, he found several combinations that looked good, but these races and talents always felt a bit off.
It didn't make him very excited, and he felt that it was a must-have when he saw it.
"Huh!"
After scrolling through the options, he suddenly saw an interesting talent in a corner.
Wake up the trees: Awaken the sleeping trees and give them the power of tree guards. (Cooling time: 48 hours)
"This talent is a bit interesting."
What you need most at the start is, of course, combat power.
Get a tree man every 48 hours. This talent is specially prepared for the early stage.
However, the shortcomings are also obvious. Once you get past the early stage, this talent can easily become useless.
"This is it!"
If an ordinary person wants to stand out among thousands or even hundreds of millions of players, he must take the wrong approach.
You are either very rich, very good at playing, or extremely lucky.
You don’t have anything, and you still have to choose a mid- to late-game opening. You deserve to be stuck in the top spot for the rest of your life.
Once the talent is determined, the choice of camp and race becomes simple.
"Faction Confirmation-Natural System."
"Race - Wood Elf."
Natural wood elves have a natural charm bonus and are a very good choice for lord-type players.
"The character data has been created, please adjust your avatar."
After determining that his race was a wood elf, Ai Lan's avatar turned into a handsome elf.
After looking up and down for a few times, he couldn't help but frown.
"Too feminine, not like me at all."
"Adjust the face shape to be more masculine, make the lines harder, and add a little stubble to the chin."
"Right, that is it."
After some minor adjustments, a heroic young man with a resolute face appeared in front of him.
"Very good, confirm your choice."
"Character creation completed."
"The game is about to start, please wait patiently."
