When logging into Canaan for the first time, Chinese players and international players are almost the same. The only difference is that Chinese players have a higher 'tolerance threshold' than players in the international server due to the long-term information bombardment.
This higher threshold allows Chinese players to enter the state earlier than players in the international server, enter the task process earlier, and take the first step to explore this unknown world earlier.
The NPC owner of the pharmacy was surrounded by players who were accepting and handing in tasks. They were all newbies, chattering and pushing each other. Xie Xiaomeng was one of them, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze in.
.
"Ah, young rebel, you are very efficient. Let me see...the collection is good. Here, this is my reward. The supply of potions in the camp is extremely tight. If you can, please collect more demons.
Grass essence pollen, please.”
After accepting another 10 tasks of [Pollen that Transformed the Demonic Grass Essence], Xie Xiaomeng squeezed out with all her strength. As soon as she reached a relatively loose place, there was another flurry of excitement.
Two vicious NPC guards rushed into the crowd and picked out an elf player like a hawk grabbing a chicken. One of the guards shouted loudly that a certain player committed the crime of theft and was sentenced to recover the stolen goods. The reputation of the novice village was deducted and he was imprisoned for 10 years.
hours of punishment.
Others were not surprised, and some even asked what this guy had stolen, where he had stolen it, and whether he could take action.
The captured elf player didn't care at all. He was being escorted by the guards with a smile on his face, ogling the female players onlookers as he walked away.
In reality, stealing is stealing and breaking the law.
Stealing things in the game is not stealing, that's called skill. How can something obtained based on skill be considered stealing?
But in terms of value, the value of things stolen in the game may be higher than in reality. As for the intensity of punishment, it depends on the opinions of different people.
Some people think that the 10 hours of imprisonment and the deduction of reputation points are a small loss, but some people think that the cost of this 10 hours of black room is too high, which involves their respective gameplay and goals.
However, when resources were tight in the early stage, a considerable number of players still took desperate measures. No, this happened countless times within two hours of opening the server.
Xie Xiaomeng didn't watch the excitement. Although she was a newbie, she had a clear goal. She took over the task and went to the blacksmith shop to repair the equipment's novice bow with a few copper plates she broke out. She bought a pot of the cheapest arrows.
After spending all the money he had on him, he hurried out of the city gate and ran towards the spawn point of the skeleton soldiers.
Along the way, I saw all kinds of players, who were doing anything. There were some party members, some people running wild, and some live broadcast amateurs... Everyone was so excited that they were dancing around like they were having fun.
Turn in and out.
But there are more players like her who are in a hurry, ranging from one person to more than a dozen people, chatting and laughing loudly with friends, as excited as children celebrating the New Year.
The spawn point of the skeleton soldiers is at the foot of the mountain. There is an NPPC black-hearted merchant standing at a huge and illusory light door. This black-hearted merchant is not a functional NPC in the novice village, but an intelligent NPC from Punk City. He is cunning, treacherous, and black.
Conscientiously, use the lowest price to purchase the things that players have worked so hard to obtain, and use the highest price to sell the supplies that are urgently needed for the task of spawning monsters.
A set of the cheapest bandages can be sold for several times more than a black system store.
He is also very enthusiastic and treats every player as if they are old friends who have known each other for a long time. He can also get close to each other from the perspective of the players, pretending to be mysterious and talking about hidden tasks, secrets in the game, loopholes in the system, etc.
Using these words to lure many players into being deceived.
"Ah, beautiful elf lady, seeing that you are in such a hurry, you must be full of missions to spawn skeleton soldiers, right? Speaking of this refresh point, I participated in its construction at the beginning. How about it? Are you interested in hearing from the old man?
Tell me, tell me?"
When an average player hears this, 9 out of 10 of them will be fooled. Xie Xiaomeng just ignores it. She has long known from her mother what the virtues of a smart NPC are. Seeing that he comes from punk city, she becomes more vigilant. How could she be deceived?
?
Ignoring this NPC liar, I walked into the refresh point and saw many players gathered in the preparation area in front of me. Several old players were praised by the stars and divided into four or five groups. There were people shouting and leading others, and a pit position.
How much does it cost? There are experienced players who have played and passed on their experience, etc.
This server has just been launched. The quality of experienced players who can waste time and energy on these games can be seen. They are either for life and leisure, or they are preparing to practice life and career. Only they do not care about level and only care about the accumulation of game resources.
Especially copper coins.
Speaking of copper coins, I heard that the black market has opened, and the latest exchange rate is 1:10, but there are not many transactions, and there is still a price but no market.
Ignoring the shouting people, Xie Xiaomeng walked up to a group of obviously newbies, shook the bow and arrow in his hand, "Agility 5, Strength 4, use "Rusty Iron Sword" 10 times, the group can't be formed.
Group?"
"Join the team!"
It was easy to get into a team. Xie Xiaomeng looked at the three teammates who were already on the team list. The captain was a dwarf, and he was obviously planning to take the paladin or barbarian route. The other two were female players, and they were the same as her.
The elf, the one with the bow and arrow, and the other one is a male player, a human. Judging from his face and body, his head is a bit big, he must be preparing to become a mage.
After waiting for a while, a teammate joined the team, and the five-person team was alive, and then they left the waiting area and entered the refresh point.
Passing through a thin light curtain, an indescribable coldness hit my face. The space seemed to be enlarged, and the sky was very different from the outside. The light was dim, and the undulating ground was full of skeleton soldiers.
The hole left by drilling out.
Some scattered skeleton soldiers were wandering in front, some were unarmed, some were carrying badly rusted iron rulers, and some were wearing tattered armor. Some were stumbling around, while others seemed very strong.
Very strong.
They are all skeleton soldiers, and they are all level 1. For newcomers who are still at level 0, they are already very difficult opponents.
Xie Xiaomeng swallowed nervously. It was too real. For a little girl who was not yet sixteen years old, the psychological crisis was more difficult than the physical crisis.
The captain walked in front and entered the warning circle of a skeleton soldier. He saw this skeleton covered with dirt and rushed over waving an iron ruler. The speed was unexpectedly fast. The captain gave a strange roar to encourage himself.
Xie Xiaomeng stiffly raised his shield to block the iron ruler. Seeing this, Xie Xiaomeng immediately drew his bow and arrow, aiming at the horrifying skeleton, his arms trembling uncontrollably.
The others hurriedly got out of the way, but another female elf archer was so nervous that she shot without even taking aim. The arrow naturally missed the target by hundreds of thousands of miles.
"Damn it, don't be stunned!", the captain dodged the Iron Ruler's attack in embarrassment and shouted angrily.
The other two teammates holding swords just woke up from their dreams and stepped forward to help. Xie Xiaomeng finally took aim and shot an arrow, but it missed the scalp of a teammate and missed.
"ah!"
A teammate was slashed by the skeleton soldier's iron ruler, and a -7 damage value appeared. He screamed like a pig butchered it, covering the injured area. He didn't know what parts of his body he thought were chopped off.
.
Others were even more nervous.
Xie Xiaomeng missed two arrows and became a Muggle. The other female elf player was even more miserable than she was. She looked like she was about to burst into tears. Fortunately, the three male players were being chased by skeleton soldiers and had no time to talk to them.
Xie Xiaomeng couldn't even remember how he chopped down this monster in the end. He only remembered that he even got on top of it in the end.
If long-range is not enough, then close combat is required. It must be said that her ability to withstand pressure is relatively strong, and the last blow was struck with her bow.
With a "crash", the skeleton fell apart. Xie Xiaomeng sat down and gasped from exhaustion. All three male players were injured. The one who screamed before sat there and cried, and the other two were also worried.
, it’s like running a marathon.
"Haha, exciting!!", the captain calmed down and pretended to laugh boldly. The other male player wanted to imitate him, but opened his mouth, and suddenly saw another skeleton soldier wandering nearby, and got up.
Just run back.
"Come on, let's fix it first!"
"oh!"
"ah?"
Without the captain's greeting, the tearful female elf player and the female elf player ran away long ago. The five-person team returned to the preparation area in disgrace. Seeing this, an old player in the crowd pointed at them with a chuckle and said to the cute new player beside him: "See
No, it’s just like that without anyone to guide you. Do you also want to learn?"
Only then did Xie Xiaomeng understand why so many people were asking for help.
This hearsay and personal experience are really two different things. No matter how much you hear and see offline, it is not as shocking as the moment when the skeleton soldiers rush over.
"The last two pits will start soon. Is there any boss who wants to get on the train?"
The female elf player in the team decisively left the team and joined the ranks of people asking for guidance. Several male players couldn't bear to lose face. After hesitating for a while, they kicked Xie Xiaomeng away.
"Why did you kick me!?"
"You have the nerve to ask? How many times did you shoot just now? Once?"
Xie Xiaomeng knew she was in the wrong, "But I also helped!"
"Thank you. I took the last blow and gained 3 more experience points."
"you……"
"Let's form another group, no more shooters, they're all scammers!"
"Well, let's get used to it. It's actually not difficult to kill. That's how old players get here."
"Yes, yes."
Xie Xiaomeng left the team angrily and went to find other teams. As for asking for guidance, she was disdainful. This was just the beginning. She wanted to play well and win gold medals.
However, teams with experience don’t want shooters.
If the shot fails, what do you want them to do?
Xie Xiaomeng gritted his teeth and went back to sell the bow and arrow to the system black shop. He also sold some of the extra mission supplies collected last time in exchange for two coppers. With these two coppers, he bought one at the blacksmith shop for 10 coppers.
The novice dagger.
[Inferior novice dagger - quality: gray, physical attack: 1-4, durability: 8, load: 5, rating: none (Note: Use it to fight bravely, it is better than being unarmed.)]
Weapons worth up to 10 coppers are different. They feel heavy in the hand. When I returned to the skeleton soldier's preparation area, I flashed this dagger and immediately received several invitations to join the team.
Xie Xiaomeng joined a team full of dwarves.
"Old girl, you will be in front later."
"Why me? I don't have a shield."
"Your weapon is good and your attack is high..."
"But I am...an elf!"
"What's wrong with the elves? It's the same for everyone without changing jobs. That's it!"
Xie Xiaomeng was forced to walk in front as a vanguard and walked into the refresh area again. He saw that every wandering skeleton soldier was surrounded by groups of players. From a distance, he could hear all kinds of ghostly cries and howls.
The noises, this one screaming in pain, that one yelling and cursing, mixed with the female voice's dolphin-like screams... it was really lively.
"There are so many people, there were not so many just now!"
"Speed up, there will be more people later!"
Several people hurriedly walked deeper. When passing by a monster spawning team, Xie Xiaomeng saw a female player being chased by skeleton soldiers. She ran and screamed. Her unscrupulous teammates used her to attract
The monster hates me, so I don't catch up with it, I just go up behind and slash and touch it from time to time.
Unfortunately, the female player tripped and fell, and somehow the skeleton soldier fell on top of her. That scene, tsk tsk... the skeleton soldier missing a leg and an arm grabbed the female player's hair with one hand,'
Kaba Kaba's teeth almost bit her ear.
——This person will definitely have nightmares when he goes offline!
"This method is good, can we try it?" a dwarf teammate suggested.
"Don't even think about it!" Xie Xiaomeng retorted with a trembling voice.
"It doesn't have to be you. Whoever absorbs the hatred of the monster will be the one, how about that?" Another dwarf teammate said.
"Okay, that's fair!"
"Try it, maybe it will work?"
Xie Xiaomeng couldn't find a reason to object. She thought that she was standing at the front, with the best weapon and the highest damage. The hatred must be all on her. But then she thought, it would be good to fly a kite as a bait, as long as she is not chased by monsters.
Go on, not like the unlucky guy just now...
With mixed feelings of apprehension, uneasiness, fear and eagerness to give it a try, the team found a wandering skeleton soldier.
"Old girl, don't be afraid, come on!"
"You are all grown men hiding behind a little girl like me. How do you excuse me?"
"The game does not distinguish between men and women, the newbies are all animals!"
"Come on, old girl, stop talking nonsense."
In the past when we were playing games, people would listen to her voice, not to mention taking special care of her, at least, at least they wouldn't be so ungrateful, right?
This is the case with Canaan. From the moment she went online, no one cared about her gender, age, or appearance. They were all utilitarian and pragmatic. Now she, a little girl, is allowed to rush ahead.
There is a stubbornness in Xie Xiaomeng. The more others are like this, the more she has to prove herself.
Holding a low-quality dagger, facing the skeleton who had turned around, he took the first step towards high-level play.
"ah!"
Although he tried his best to cheer himself up, Xie Xiaomeng was still frightened when the skeleton rushed forward. The dagger hit his head head-on without any plan, causing pain on his body and he was defeated.
