As a senior citizen in the technological world, Aiden has plenty of time and financial resources, so whenever a new game is released, he will be one of the first to try it. Virtual reality games are his second home in life.
He once lurked in the magical world and worked hard for three thousand years just to get a legendary staff.
He also became the leader of a primitive tribe and led the tribe forward from the Stone Age to the Cosmic Age.
It is no exaggeration to say that Aiden is an expert player.
Playing games is not only a pastime for him, but also a spiritual sustenance.
Aiden was deeply impressed by the unprecedented authenticity, playability, and freedom of the world of gods.
He had the illusion that this was not a virtual world in the game, but a real, perfect foreign country.
Therefore, even though it was the twelfth lunar month of winter and the cold wind was biting, he still stood like a javelin, while the others had long shivered and huddled together, and some even started tap dancing while rubbing their hands together.
"Everyone, please pay attention. Thanks to the care of the God of Wisdom, you are fortunate enough to be selected as reserve members of the Knights of Ice and Fire.
Here, you will undergo a six-month special training. After the training, those who perform well will become full members of the Knights, while those who fail will become non-staff members.
The special training is divided into three parts. The first two months are mainly training, the middle two months are mainly about learning combat skills, and the last two months are mainly practical classes.
Here, you will receive the best education, with professionals serving as instructors. It is up to you how much you can learn.
Your grades will determine your starting point, whether you will become a non-staff member and be driven by others, or you will become a member of the Knights and enjoy the same treatment as a professional. All of this will be based on your grades.
Don't underestimate the difference between the two. Look at your left and right. The person standing with you now may only be able to lead your horse in six months, or you may stand upright on your feet and say hello to him loudly, sir.
Now tell me, do you want to be the one leading the horse, or do you want to be called sir?"
Red Wolf Fickman, who was born in the Temple of the God of War, is the chief instructor of the Ice and Fire Knights. He was also Wang Xu's candidate for the leader of the Knights before the player grew up.
Fickman was born in the North. He was a military aristocrat who was brave and good at fighting.
Once, he was the commander of the Legion stationed in the Storm Plains of the God of War Temple. Later, he was recruited by Wang Xu to join the Temple of Wisdom, specifically to train a player legion for him.
"Sir, sir, sir!!"
Incited by Fickman, the players shouted in unison.
They are rebellious people, how could they allow themselves to become grooms?
For a moment, the way the players looked at each other changed and became more aggressive. No one could tell whether the person standing next to them at this time would be their old enemy in the future.
Aiden was the first to bear the brunt of this. His standing posture and rosy complexion formed a sharp contrast with the sallow and thin players around him.
It's no wonder that while other players are still worrying about a piece of bread, Aiden has already won the appreciation of an old lord with his talents.
If Wang Xu hadn't appeared, I'm afraid if he had been given a few more months, he might not have been able to take over the inheritance from the childless old lord.
As a result, when everyone saw it, we were all naked, skinny and sallow, but you actually lived a good life.
Although these players do not know that the people standing here are all players and there is no NPC, this does not hinder their jealousy.
"May I have your name?"
Fickman also noticed Aiden, with a look of admiration on his face.
"Sir, my name is Aiden!"
Aiden held his head high and his eyes flashed with joy.
He is a game master who has made great achievements in previous virtual games. He knows very well that NPCs with a high degree of freedom are actually no different from ordinary people in terms of IQ. They also have their own preferences. Every casual action or answer is...
It may affect the other person's impression of you.
"Very good, you will be a good soldier. Now I appoint you as the Knights of Ice and Fire, the captain of the fourth squadron of the third squadron of the fourth wing. I allow you to select six teammates and lead them to participate in the next
Special training.”
Fickman wanted to set an example to inspire players to be motivated.
He knows that the army is a small society. If people were truly equal, no one would work hard.
Only when the creative class forms an opposition will these little bastards scream and rush upward. As for whether Aiden will be as good as the rest, this is not a question he cares about.
"Yes, sir!" Although he was only the squad leader, Aiden was still very happy.
One person can only do what one person can do, but seven people can do several times more than the former. With more people, more value can be created.
He noticed the unkind glances from around him, but he didn't take it to heart. Not being envied by others is a mediocre person. He didn't come here just to make a living. A thousand miles begins with a single step. Today's small step is enough to put him ahead.
Ordinary players have been playing for several months, and strong players can be distinguished in little details.
Aiden's diary.
first day
"Today is my first day joining the Knights. I stood upright in the cold wind. Many people laughed at me for doing useless work, but I ignored them.
Two hours later, an instructor named Fickman, codenamed Blood Wolf, appeared.
What I did brought me rewards. Because of my straight posture and high morale, I was appointed as the squad leader on the spot. I was in charge of six people. I think this is a good start."
the next day
"Today we conducted a special ability test, and the results of this test were terrible. Most of us couldn't even run ten kilometers. They were too weak.
My grades were first-class. These days of nutritional supplements allowed me to run to the finish line and become one of the first 420 people to reach the finish line.
I was not happy because only one of the six team members I selected ran the entire race with me. Four of the remaining five gave up halfway, and one of them took twice as long as me to reach the finish line.
, and finally got only a B grade.
Instructor Xuelang said that students in Class A can eat extra meals, students in Class B can eat normally, and those who fail will have their meals halved.
From this order, it is not difficult for me to see that the competition will be even more intense tomorrow, because we who come from slums are really too afraid of hunger."
The third day
"The training is still going on, and besides me, seventeen people have been promoted to squad leaders.
Three days is not a long time, but eating five meals a day is enough to restore some vitality to these teenagers who live in slums and have been suffering from malnutrition for a long time.
I was not happy about this, but rather a little nervous.
Because I know that my advantage is being worn away. Among this group of people, my physical fitness is the best. This is due to the fact that I was able to eat enough in the previous half month, while they were always hungry.
I know very well that as time goes by, other people will slowly recover, and then my advantage will disappear."
The fourth day
"Today is still a ten-kilometer cross-country. At this time, no one is left behind. Everyone can reach the finish line, and I also fell from the first echelon to the second echelon.
I know why. My physical fitness is very average. When my advantage disappears, I can't compete with those with extraordinary talents.
Today in cross-country training, the first runner was a man named Bolt. He was twice as fast as me and 800 meters faster than the second place. He ran like a gust of wind.
The blood wolf instructor said that Bolt probably has a special physique and his running speed is completely beyond the level of normal people.
I asked Bolt if he had any secrets, and he told me: Some people are born to run."
fifth day
"A squad leader was sent down because he stepped on a piece of snow during training and slipped, spraining his left coach and unable to complete the training task.
The blood wolf instructor did not listen to his explanation, and directly removed him from the team leader status, and gave the captaincy to Bolt, who once again ran first.
My expressions and those of the other team captains were ugly. At this time, we realized that the identity of the team leader was not our talisman, but could also be a life-threatening ghost."
The sixth day
"Today, one of my team members quarreled with me because he was usurped by someone from another team while eating. I was not with him at the time, and no one else stood up for him.
I saw dissatisfaction in his eyes, he didn't think I was good enough to lead him, and that was a disturbing sign."
seventh day
"Instructor Blood Wolf accepted the fate of twelve team captains and canceled the qualifications of two people as captains. The team seemed restless.
People who have not become captains desperately want to become captains, and people who have captain status are thinking about how to keep their positions.
I noticed that these team members who followed my lead a few days ago now have their own plans.
