After eating a hearty but not wasted lunch, Wang Hao went out alone.
Now that you have decided to enter One Piece, a gaming helmet has become an indispensable tool.
The conditions in his family are average. He has to earn at least half of the expenses for studying abroad for three years by himself. But if he just buys a low-level gaming helmet, it is still affordable, but the virtual quality is worse.
After all, gamers here abroad are more sensible. Although there is a long queue in front of the helmet store, he is not worried about not getting the goods. He has heard that many cities in China have sold out of the goods. The popularity of this game can be seen.
generally.
By the time Wang Hao came back with the gaming helmet and installed everything properly, it was almost five o'clock.
After saying a simple goodbye to York, he returned to his room, put on his gaming helmet, and quietly waited for the start of One Piece.
Ten minutes later, the time in the helmet showed five o'clock, and a familiar yet unfamiliar naval march sounded, making his heart tremble.
The game starts.
What you see is the majestic sea, your ears are mixed with the sound of waves crashing on the stone shore and the chirping of seabirds, and you can faintly smell the smell of the tide in front of your nose. Everything is so real.
System: Do you decide to create a new account?
yes!
System: Identification in progress...
Since you are not within the boundaries of your own country, the following options are given, please choose one from them.
a; Become a national of the country where you are located and enjoy national treatment of that country.
b; Retain the nationality of the country and need to pay an additional 10% tax when conducting trade in other countries.
In the setting of King of Navigation, locals only need to pay a 10% trade tax in their own country's ports, and an additional 10% must be paid when trading in other countries.
Even though it’s only 10%, in the early days when players didn’t have much money, it didn’t add up to a single amount, and it was very likely that it would slow others down.
Therefore, many players like Wang Hao who are in other countries usually choose local nationality so that they can enjoy the treatment of nationals of that country.
How to do?
This has never been a problem for Wang Hao. In his last life, he chose b, and this time is no exception.
System: If you choose to retain your nationality, you will be required to pay an additional 10% tax when trading in major ports in the UK.
System: Please give your character a name.
"Haotian."
Wang Hao reported a name. In ancient Chinese legends, the status of this great bull is similar to that of God in the Western world.
System: The character was named successfully and the character Haotian was created.
After entering the game, the system will make slight adjustments to the player's appearance, with an increase or decrease of no more than 20%. It can be randomly assigned by the system or adjusted by the player themselves.
In this way, it will be difficult to see the existence of ugly women in the game.
Wang Hao didn't attach much importance to this. After specifying that it would be randomly assigned by the system, he moved on to the next item.

This is a basic attribute and is the same for everyone.
A zero-level newcomer who has just entered the game will have four attribute points. How to distribute them is a very important issue.
In his last life, he took a business route, and his points were mainly focused on charm and knowledge, and he suffered a lot during this period.
Although he earned a little hard-earned money through his diligence and superb understanding of the game, this time he did not want to go back to the same old path.
Added a little control, a little bravery, and two points of knowledge.
This method of adding points may not have strong attack power in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, you can learn some pretty good skills with great stamina.
In the game King of One Piece, the penalty for death is quite severe. Not only will the captain lose one level from all levels, he will also have to wait for a certain period of time at a nearby port dock and pay a large repair fee before he can continue to go to sea.
By the middle and late stages of the game, repair costs can easily amount to dozens or hundreds of gold coins. Most people cannot withstand such troubles several times.

Assign attributes and switch scenes.
Wang Hao was teleported to Tangwei, a small fishing village under the jurisdiction of the main city of Dublin, also known as Novice Village.
In the game, each country is composed of four main cities and several affiliated fishing villages and medium-sized port cities. The specialties and commodities in each city are different.
The difference in income from selling the same commodity to different ports is also very huge, and the possibility of losing money is not ruled out, but basically the principle is still maintained that the farther the distance between the two ports, the higher the income.
After taking a few breaths of the air filled with the thick scent of tide, I once again experienced this scene that was like a real scene. It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel a little bit excited and emotional.
Wang Hao seemed to be immobilized and was completely unaware of the players walking past him. It wasn't until a moment later that he came back to his senses and let out a long sigh.
The world has really changed, and he must live a more exciting life.
There were many players around who had similar reactions to him, and they were all shocked by the immersive game screen.
Buildings full of sixteenth-century classical atmosphere. Figures wearing gentlemen's blouses and ladies' long skirts walked past. The noisy vendors hawking their goods mixed with the sound of four-wheeled carriages. It made people feel like they were in a trance.
The illusion of going back to the past.
In the early stage of the game, every minute and every second is very precious, so you must hurry up and get a ship.
Although there are ready-made ships for sale in the city's dockyard, the prices are not acceptable to players at this stage.
It is better to be more realistic and do the novice tasks honestly.
The so-called novice mission is basically a rookie growth history, and its purpose is to help players become familiar with the game's operations as quickly as possible.
Wang Hao, who had experience in his previous life, was naturally more confident about this.
However, it would take an average player half a day just to become familiar with the map and operations.
In the game King of One Piece, the professions that players can choose from are not only captains, but also life professions such as plantation owners and workshop owners, which are also very promising.
Especially in the middle and late stages of the game, many of the port's special products are produced by players' workshops, which can be said to be a source of wealth.
But the most popular and loved one in the game is the captain, which is also in line with the purpose of this game.
It is difficult for players to get ships in the early stage. Many players either choose other professions, or they can only work hard in the port. After saving a few days and working together with a few people, it is almost enough to buy a small merchant ship.
When Wang Hao entered the game in the previous life, he had already turned on the currency exchange system and purchased a new ship directly from the shipyard. He didn't feel deeply about it. However, when he talked with some friends in China, they would inevitably complain about the difficulty of starting a business.
It is often mentioned verbally.
There are so many gamers in China that there are often dozens of people competing for a job.
"Hello brother, do you know where the drunk John is?"
The person who asked was a very polite little girl, wearing a special princess dress, with a delicate face like a Barbie doll, and her good tutoring gave her an unusual temperament, which makes it difficult for people to feel disgusted.
"Drunk John, let me think, he should be staying in a corner of Lilian's Tavern."
Due to the long interval, the images of many things were a bit blurry, and Wang Hao was not sure that what he remembered was correct.
"Thank you, brother."
Wang Hao found that he had received a friend notification from a friend named Chris. He smiled and accepted it. He still had a good impression of this polite little girl.
What made him a little curious was that the game developer had explicitly prohibited children under the age of sixteen from entering the sea, and he didn't know how this little girl got in.
However, he had no intention of exploring at this time. The most important thing now was to get a ship as soon as possible. Only in this way could he accumulate original capital.
Proof of going to sea is a series of tasks. When you complete the first ring of tasks, you can obtain a permit to go to sea.
The first 100 players in each country to complete the mission can get a newbie ship, which is one of the few benefits of high-level play.
Thinking about the situation in the country, Wang Hao shuddered. He wanted to snatch these one hundred places from an army of tens of millions. Unless he was of extraordinary character or had a background in a large guild, he would not even think about it.
There are many tasks you can take on in the port, including killing monsters, delivering messages, finding people, and working as a laborer. There are many types.
The recipient of the serial mission is none other than Sheriff Victor.
