There is a thick layer of floating soil accumulated on the rugged mountain road. Occasionally, a gust of wind will blow away some of the accumulated soil, but it will also bring more sand and dust.
"Brother Liu, haven't we arrived yet? How big is the map of this game?" Su Yan sat on the carriage and looked around, his brows getting tighter and tighter, and he was even more confused and confused. Although the speed of the carriage was not fast, it was still
I have been running for three or four hours continuously, and now I am still driving in the wilderness, and it seems that I am still quite far away from my destination.
"It's almost there. I don't know who the pervert designed the game map. Last time I drove a carriage from one city to another for more than ten hours." The driver Xiao Liu, whose face was already covered with dust, also complained.
, obviously the "carriage driver" works much harder than the real car driver.
"Running for more than ten hours continuously..." The corner of Su Yan's mouth couldn't help but twitch. This mysterious game is really perverted, and the game map alone is astonishingly large.
Several other people on the carriage were also looking at the game world carefully along the way, and their expressions were even more uncertain.
"How did the company know about this game in the first place?" Zhang Jian, a man with glasses, asked hesitantly.
"That's not clear. This perverted game already existed when I joined the company two years ago. My job is to transport ore in the game. Apart from driving this carriage, I don't know much about the game."
Liu smiled bitterly.
Half an hour later, the carriage finally stopped in a remote valley. In front of it was a small town that was mostly hidden in the mountains and forests.
But it is more like a small castle than a town. The several-meter-high city wall is entirely made of huge stones, and the heavy gate is made of steel.
"Hey, New Oriental Mining Company's workplace." As soon as he got off the carriage, someone came up to him with a smile.
"Fat Manager..." Su Yan recognized the person who greeted them at the city gate at a glance. It was the Fat Manager who was interviewing them.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief. Since even the personnel manager had entered the game, it meant that the game was indeed not too dangerous.
Although the town is small, it has all the necessary facilities, including toilets.
The fat man led Su Yan and the others into the city, introducing them very enthusiastically: "Now you should believe in the existence of the death game. It is almost the same as in reality, and the characters in this game cannot be offline.
Even if you exit the game, the characters in it will still exist. If you lose control, you will just stand there and be easily attacked. Therefore, you must return to the city and be absolutely safe before you can log off and rest."
"The character is always online?!" Su Yan couldn't help but groan in his heart, what kind of weird game is this?
"Then we have to be in the game all day long?" Zhang Jian also asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Everyone can rest assured that after entering the game, your body in the game cabin will be in a completely relaxed state of rest, which is exactly the same as ordinary sleep and rest. When you need to exit the game, you can return to this city. The company can
To ensure your absolute safety, if the situation in the game is more urgent and requires you to be online for a long time, intravenous injection can also be used to provide nutrition."
Su Yan couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that the nutritious game cabin that could last for half a year was not a joke. This weird game with characters that cannot be offline might really need to use the nutritious game cabin just for otakus.
.
"There are currently more than seventy people working here in our company, but now they have all gone to the mines to mine. I will take you to change jobs into miners first, and then take you to the mines to have a look."
"Miners still want to change jobs?" Su Yan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The fat man smiled and said: "Of course it is necessary. There are hundreds of professions in this game, all with their own unique skills and specialties. The miner's exclusive skill of prospecting can improve the efficiency of mining."
Unexpectedly, the fat man, who was said to be a job changer, led four people into a Taoist temple in the city.
The Taoist temple is not big, with only one main hall and one wing room. The main hall, filled with smoke, enshrines the very traditional statue of the Sanqing God. Sitting on the futon in front of the hall is an old Taoist with his eyes closed and meditative.
When Su Yan and others came in, the old Taoist who looked somewhat immortal opened his eyes slightly and didn't say much. He just threw out a few pieces of yellowish paper.
The paper immediately flew toward the four of them as if it were spiritual.
Su Yan was surprised when he took the yellow paper that flew in front of him. It was a mining agreement document. However, before he could see the details clearly, the ghostly and translucent message suddenly appeared in front of his eyes: Are you willing to change your job as a miner?
Su Yan hesitated but chose to accept it. Although he knew that the profession of miner definitely had no future in the game, it was his job after all.
When he quietly held his game necklace, the system prompt appeared in front of him again. The character attributes had not changed much, but there was some more professional information than before:
Occupation:Miner
Grade 1
Experience:1/1000
Skill: [Ore Prospecting: Level 1, the chance of finding ore increases by 10%. 】
"The things behind the door are your tools. You should turn in at least six hundred kilograms of fifth-grade ore every month. The more you work, the more you will get." The Taoist priest just said lightly after everyone accepted the paper, and then closed it again.
The eyes returned to their meditative look.
The tools are very simple, each person has a pickaxe and a sack, plus a pack of candles.
"Damn, this game is too stingy, it doesn't even have a gift package for beginners..." The man with glasses complained with some dissatisfaction.
"Yeah, do you want us to use this sack as a package?" Su Yan was also quite depressed. The designers of this game seemed so stingy that they didn't even provide a personal package space.
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't talk nonsense here." The fat man quickly pulled a few people out of the Taoist temple.
"What's wrong? Does what we say have an impact on that NPC? He shouldn't be able to understand what we say." Li Jian, a man with glasses, asked doubtfully.
The smile on the fat man's face was a little weird, and he whispered: "What NPC... That is Manager Wang of our company. There are not many NPCs in this village, they are all players like us."
"The manager is also playing games?" Su Yan couldn't help but be startled.
"Yes, Manager Wang rarely appears in the company. He spends most of his time in the game." The fat manager said as he led a few people to the mine, but there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his words.
The entire town was built on the mountain, and the mine was right behind the village. Even though the mottled stone wall next to the mine was covered with moss, you could still vaguely make out the characters written on it - Viper Mine.
In addition, what is more eye-catching is that the stone walls are covered with small wooden signs with names engraved on them.
"Is this... is it the clocking in to work in the game?" Su Yan couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
The fat man smiled awkwardly and said: "No, as long as you can turn in enough ore every month, you can work as many hours as you like in the game. However, for safety reasons, a wooden sign with your name will be left behind every time you enter the cave.
Take it away again in case someone accidentally leaves it in the mine."
As soon as you enter the mine, the light immediately dims, and you can even hear the wind whispering like ghosts.
"This is too real." Feeling the gusts of wind, Su Yan couldn't help but feel excited.
"Hey, just wait until you get familiar with it. The ore produced here is mainly black iron ore, which is divided into five grades. The purchase price of each grade of ore varies greatly. If you are lucky enough to dig up a piece of first-grade black ore, then
Developed.”
"Is this mine safe? Are there any monsters inside?" The Tsinghua man who had been silent on the road frowned and asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, there are only some low-level zombies in this mine. As long as you don't go deep into the mine, there will be no danger."
"Zombies...the monsters in this game can't be so realistic, right?" Jiang Yue, who was already a little nervous, suddenly turned pale.
"Don't worry, our company will invite game masters to come over every month to clean up the zombies in the mine. Occasionally, the ones that are missed are hiding in the deepest part of the mine. If you want to encounter zombies here and five hundred people in reality,
The chances of winning a grand prize of 10,000 yuan are almost the same." Fatty assured him, patting his chest quickly.
