"Sherlock, it's time to eat," a crisp female voice came from the living room.
"Okay, come right away" Sherlock turned around and shouted towards the living room.
"This is my choice, what about you?" He turned around and wrote the last line in his notebook. Sherlock put down his pen and whistled and walked out of the study.
"This is also my choice." The moment the study door closed, a line of words suddenly appeared on the notebook, and then slowly disappeared after a while.
…
…
"When did the profiteer Pompeii return to Novice Village?" Sherlock, who had just entered the Forgotten Kingdom, looked at Pompeii fleeting among the crowd, muttered to himself, and then continued walking out of the village.
Forgotten Realm is a game, it can also be said to be Sherlock's job. As everyone thinks, Sherlock is a professional player. Forgotten Realm is his 7th game, and it is also his most promising virtual game so far.
.Extremely high degree of realism and freedom. Compared with previous virtual games, they are simply bullshit.
Sherlock didn't think about why there was such an advanced virtual game. His first and only thought when he entered the game was that maybe he really had a chance to stay in the inner ring this time.
After the World War, because the environment was severely damaged, humans could only live concentratedly in a dozen huge cities. Each city was divided into an inner three ring and an outer three ring, a total of six rings due to the degree of environmental pollution. The inner and outer rings were not isolated.
, people from the outer ring can go to or even live in the first ring, as long as you can afford the high detention fee.
Sherlock was sent to the Third Ring Road by his teacher when he was 15 years old. Later, he became a professional gamer by chance. However, after nearly ten years of hard work, he still could barely afford to pay the detention fee. It was only a matter of time before he was sent back to the Ring Road.
, but the Forgotten Kingdom gave him hope again.
Name: Sherlock
Sex: Male
Level:10
Race: half-elf
Occupation: Apprentice Druid (become a full-time professional after passing the professional trial at level 10)
Sherlock was one of the first players to enter the game. On the first day after the game was launched half a month ago, he dumped all his Stone Age assets and entered the Forgotten Realm. Because he was optimistic about the game's prospects and was ready to level up, he even took out
I have a little savings and am ready to put it all together.
However, he has been stuck at level 10 for 5 days because of a mission.
10 Troubles of Crazy Luna(10-10)
Mission introduction: No one knows how Luna came to this remote village in the Silver Moon Alliance. Luna, who lives alone in a corner of the village, always raises some weird questions that make others angry but cannot refute them.
But luckily you're here.
Current mission: Luna is very curious about how the outside group of adventurers is recognized by the will of the world, so she hopes that the adventurers can take her to participate in an induction trial. Of course, only an S-level trial can fully satisfy Luna's curiosity.
.(0-1)
Mission time limit: 5 days (5-5)
Failure penalty: Since you agreed to Luna's request, you must complete it. If you fail the task, you will lose Luna's trust.
Crazy Luna's Trouble was a chain mission that Sherlock accidentally received. He originally thought it was a normal running mission, fighting monsters, collecting items, delivering letters, etc. However, it turned out that the description of the mission was not exaggerated at all, because
Every mission Sherlock receives is extremely bizarre.
Of course, for players, what is more interesting besides the weirdness is the extremely high task difficulty and rich task rewards.
However, despite being mentally prepared, Sherlock was still so excited that he almost cried when he received the task of the tenth ring.
In the Forgotten Kingdom, players will not be recognized by the will of the world until they officially change jobs at level 10. Only after reaching level 10 and completing the job transfer trial with the relevant professional mentor with a transfer certificate can they be recognized by the will of the world.
Continue to level up and learn skills.
The job transfer certificate is divided into four levels, C level, B level, A level, S level, which correspond to different levels of trials. The professional talents you can get after completing different levels of trials are also different. Generally, you will only get
Talents of the corresponding level or lower, but when the total score reaches S level, there is a chance to obtain talents of a higher level.
All wild monsters in the novice village have a chance to explode in the job transfer certificate, and except for S level, other levels of job transfer certificates can be exchanged. 100 C level can be exchanged for one B level, and 100 B level can be exchanged for one A level, so
The demand for job transfer certificates in the market has always been in short supply. After all, no one wants to lose at the starting line. This has even spawned a new industry in Novice Village, the certification group.
For this task, Sherlock did not do the job transfer task after reaching level 10. Instead, he spent five days grabbing the BOSS in the Novice Village. However, the explosion rate of the general commander-level BOSS was really impressive. He encountered ten of them in the past five days.
I've fought various commander-level bosses many times, but I haven't even seen the A-level certification a few times.
You can't fight it, and it's even more impossible to buy it. Let alone whether you have one or not, even if an S-level certificate is really issued, it is not something Sherlock can afford. After all, now an A-level job transfer certificate is all
Starting with 50,000 gold, S-level job transfer certificates have almost never flowed into the market.
But now, the unexpected appearance of the demonized dryad's lair has become Sherlock's last chance.
Wild monsters in the Forgotten Realm are divided into ordinary, elite, commander, lord, lair, and the commander level can be called BOSS.
Lair BOSS is extremely rare in Novice Village, so this lair attracted everyone's attention the moment it was discovered. Even after someone initiated an organization, many players from nearby towns came back overnight to prepare to grab the BOSS.
Although we still don’t know whether the final BOSS of the Demonic Tree Spirit Lair will be an S-level job transfer proof, and the possibility of grabbing the BOSS drop among nearly ten thousand people is really not high, but this is already the best Sherlock can do to complete the task.
It was also the last chance, not to mention that he was not unprepared at all.
"One last try, it depends on you whether we succeed or not." Sherlock glanced at a scroll in his backpack and continued to rush towards the demonized tree spirit's lair.
When Sherlock arrived at the Demonized Dryad's lair, the lair was already crowded with players, all gathered together in twos and threes and excitedly discussing the upcoming lair battle. Sherlock walked to the corner to check the equipment as usual.
Potions, weight-bearing, etc.
As a professional player, Sherlock does not form a team unless he is playing a dungeon or accepting a commission. Unfamiliar teammates are the most unstable factor when facing danger or benefit.
And cleaning the lair is definitely a big adventure where dangers and opportunities coexist. Only when the risks and opportunities are in your own hands can Sherlock feel at ease. He observed the surrounding environment and gradually walked to the edge of the crowd. When he saw that no one was paying attention, he kicked and grabbed
I climbed a tree and sat on the branches to recover my strength. This battle will definitely be a protracted one, and it is very important to maintain your best condition at all times.
Unlike an independent BOSS that can only succumb to the player's human tactics, the nest BOSS is recognized by other nearby wild monsters and can command all wild monsters in the territory. It will also continuously catalyze the emergence of elite monsters, commander-level BOSSs and even lord-level BOSSs.
The combat capabilities of the nest BOSS itself have also been greatly improved, making it very difficult to deal with.
From the current point of view, if you want to conquer a nest, you need at least 10 times the number of players in the nest. This huge gap is not due to the low combat power of the players. It is actually because the organization of individual players is really poor. There are a large number of small groups under command.
Monsters and a small number of elite bosses can definitely kill players of the same level several times their number.
There were still 10 minutes left before the agreed BOSS battle. Everyone gradually stopped chatting and made preparations for the battle. Everyone was inexplicably nervous, and there was also a trace of uncontrollable excitement. There were not many opportunities to attack the lair.
"This is the real purpose of playing games." Sherlock pursed his lips and said softly in a voice that only he could hear.
As everyone fell silent, the entire forest seemed to suddenly become extremely peaceful, so peaceful that even the noisy insects seemed to have disappeared.
Suddenly, a singing voice floated over slowly from nowhere, low and faintly cheerful, like a girl's whisper or a child's singing.
This sound is so good that I want you to keep listening to it until you die.
