"There are five minutes left, why are you nervous?"
"Ah, if you don't hurry up, the server is about to start."
"Wait a minute, wait until I finish scolding this idiot!"
Du Shiyu gritted his teeth while typing, and spent half an hour arguing with a troll on the forum. Seeing that the server opening time was approaching step by step, and the other party was still competing with him online, he laughed and said: "I mean, it turns out that
You don’t have a helmet. Judging from the one you mentioned, I thought you were a first-beta player, but I didn’t expect (covers mouth and laughs)..."
"You're still talking about me, aren't you doing the same thing!?"
"Haha, my game ID is Xuewufeiyu. I am the first player to switch to Enchanter in the first test. If you don't believe me, search for it (bad smile)!"
This sentence successfully made the troll break his guard, and the other party yelled, "What's so great about the first test players? It's a broken game. I'm too lazy to play, and sooner or later it will be closed down..."
The other party became angry, so Du Shiyu closed the web page with satisfaction. When he turned around, he saw that his best friend had stopped moving.
"ah!"
She quickly lay down on the bed, picked up the helmet and put it on:
[The server is busy, waiting in line, please wait...]
"I, I, I..."
The three-character curse almost came out of her mouth, and she pinched herself in annoyance.
Forget it, wait 4 hours before entering the game.
Then he sat back down by the computer and saw that the guy he was fighting against was fighting with someone else again. He raised his eyebrows and joined the fight.
Zhang Miao noticed big changes as soon as she logged into the game.
The spawn point was changed to outside, on a stone base. A continuous white light pushed him outwards. A dense number of players landed behind him and poured out like a swarm of swarms.
The birth point is in the square. There are many NPCs standing around the square that were not there before. The people in the grocery stores and daily necessities shops have also been changed. There is no usher... Ah, no, the usher has also been changed. It is a machine.
A dull forest elf with no name stood not far in front of him.
Many second-test players who logged in for the first time were shocked. The square soon became chaotic. Old players from the first test all left the square with clear goals and went to train NPCs for job transfer.
"Isn't it too exaggerated?"
"Oh my god, have I traveled through time?"
"Is this really a game!?"
"Ah, it hurts so much, and I still feel pain!"
"..."
The players in the second test were noisier than ducks out of the cage. Zhang Miao looked at them, and they all looked like...fuck, they were all embarrassed!
I saw "handsome men and beauties" shouting and screaming with their IDs clearly visible, and some players with short heads, big beards, thick limbs, wearing linen clothes and leather pants were running around.
dwarf!
At this moment, he didn't know whether to envy them or despise them. They could at least make fun of them, and there was another race to choose from. Players like him, who were the first beta testers, didn't have such an opportunity.
Damn, that’s not fair!
"Brother, what bonus do dwarves have!?"
Zhang Miao grabbed a player with the ID of "Short, Big and Tight" who was running by and asked.
Short, tight and adaptable, he has calmed down a lot. His face is a little red, and his beard is trembling, "First test player?"
"uh-huh!"
"Boss, please take me."
"...I asked you if there are any bonuses for dwarves?"
"Let's see...oh, strength and physique are increased by 10%."
Depend on!
Zhang Miao became even more jealous and asked again: "Where are your initial attributes?"
Damn, he actually has perfect physique and strength, and his strength is actually 6, which is higher than himself.
Zhang Miao was even more jealous. She didn't know if this guy was lucky or if it was a common phenomenon.
At this time, the first test players who rushed to change jobs came back and had to start the mission process again.
The unnamed guide was surrounded by people, and some new players with strong adaptability also gathered around. Everyone seemed very restless, as if they were afraid of falling behind.
Zhang Miao also felt a sense of urgency and quickly ran over to go through the task process.
This time, there is no need to talk to each other one by one. The voice and text dialog box that leads to the NPC will automatically appear as soon as you get close to it.
"Congratulations on ending your long sleep. As you can see, we have added a new batch of new blood. All resources in Dawn Town are very tight. Can you provide some help?"
"I do!"
"Very well, please pay a visit to the Legion Commander Lord Rumsfeld for me. He is very short of manpower."
[Accept the induction mission: report to Lord Rumsfeld, the commander of the resistance army]
A transparent arrow appeared under his feet, pointing in the direction of the mission. Zhang Miao curiously followed the arrow's instructions and found the main thread NPC in a pile of debris behind the square.
"As you can see, son, our business has grown and developed, but I, the commander of the army, don't even have an office space. Can you help me build a town hall?"
[Introduction mission completed]
[Get experience 5]
[Acquire camp reputation 1]
[Accept the main mission: the construction of the town hall.]
Zhang Miao found that the main thread NPC became... much sluggish. There was no need to wait one by one to complete the task process. You could talk to him as soon as he got close, and the voice and text dialog boxes appeared at the same time.
Only then did he notice a flashing chat icon in the lower right corner of his field of vision. He clicked on it and the world chat channel was immediately opened.
"Young Nai Killer: Yaoshou, the changes are not as big as usual. The human balance is increased by 10%. What is balance!?"
"A little sapling: Ah, what should I do? I can't be embarrassed, I want to commit suicide and start over!"
"Spring flows like a river: the first test for veteran players to add friends!"
"Cute newbie: Brothers and sisters, how do you play this game?"
"Big cousin: Xiaoer, Ruoran, chic, Erniu sees +++"
Big cousin changed his name!?
Zhang Miao quickly opened the character panel and found that the game ID could be changed.
He finally got rid of the evil Dynasty ID and lost a piece of his heart. He was in a great mood.
After fiddling with it for a long time, I finally found the social button, hidden it in the extra system panel, and added the big cousin as I wished.
"What are you doing!?"
"Town Office Mission."
Chatting with friends is just like VX, with both text and sound, which is much more convenient and faster.
"Why are you so ink? Hurry up and do the mission. Let's meet at the mage transfer NPC."
"oh!"
Zhang Miao then walked into the town office construction site according to the system prompts.
At least more than a hundred people were moving bricks on the construction site, some were tamping the land, some were digging foundations, some were building walls... It seemed chaotic, but in fact, under obvious prompts, everyone was adding bricks and tiles to the town hall.
It feels like the gameplay has been enhanced and the realism has been weakened. Just like this town hall, you definitely can’t build a house this way, but with the prompts and help of the system, a circle of walls was built in a few minutes.
It indicates that the task is completed, and the time is exactly five minutes.
[The construction of the main mission town hall is completed]
[Get experience 5]
[Get camp voice 1]
[Get Rumsfeld’s favor 1]
Zhang Miao thinks this is not bad, but it does not mean that the higher the degree of freedom, the better the gameplay. Most players are not so hardcore and still need clear guidance.
The tasks suddenly increased.
The main line, branch lines, and additional NPCs all need to be visited.
The blacksmith shop, tailor shop, potion shop, and magic supplies (enchantment) shop all require players to build them brick by brick.
By the time these task processes were completed, two hours of game time had passed. Most of the new players in the second test had reached level 2. You should know that they had not defeated any monsters yet.
This is really a huge difference from the first test.
