In the endless space, there are dozens of large bookcases that stand tall, with various books and scrolls placed on them. On the other side of the bookcases, there are shelves filled with various rare materials and expensive weapons.
Qiao Nan sat cross-legged on the ground, staring boredly at the familiar rebirth point.
The seventh time!
This is the seventh time he has returned here.
There was a map floating in front of him. There was a small square in the lower right corner of the map with the words "Exit Game" written on it. Qiao Nan tried pressing it once, but as expected, there was still no response.
He has tried countless times, but unfortunately he has never succeeded.
There is no doubt that he is trapped in this game.
This game is called "Sanctuary". It is the world's first holographic game and is famous all over the world for its immersive experience. However, it is precisely because of the special nature of this game that it requires multiple tests.
In addition to official testing, players also need to be found for public internal testing. Only after passing the internal testing will the game be officially launched.
Qiao Nan was a member of the first batch of closed beta tests, and it was precisely for this reason that he came to experience it.
Who would have thought that there was a bug in the game and that I was trapped in the game and couldn't get out.
He doesn't know what the time ratio is between the outside world and the game world, but he has actually stayed in the game world for thousands of years and experienced almost all kinds of life.
If it weren't for the game system and the suddenly clear memory after each game, Qiao Nan might actually feel like he was an NPC in the game.
This time the Celestial Clan dungeon was extraordinarily long, so long that his memory of the real world was blurred. After finishing all the tasks and leaving, the almost forgotten memories came back to him again.
He is the youngest son of the Qiao family and an illegitimate son.
The Qiao family is a large family in the Aquamarine Galaxy. It has a history of nearly a thousand years and is one of the most powerful families in the empire.
It was fine in the past, but later due to various reasons, the Qiao family gradually declined. For several generations, it was passed down from generation to generation, and the elders pampered the heirs directly and abandoned them.
Fortunately, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The heir relied on various medicines to build up his physical fitness and barely earned some military merit from the battlefield. Although his brain was not very good, it was not completely lost.
However, this is not the solution after all. The elders of the Qiao family are extremely anxious, but if there is no talent, there is no talent. In Qiao Nan's generation, the matriarch of the Qiao family gave birth to Qiao Nan's brother, and the family's reputation increased slightly.
Qiao Nan's cheap father and his mistress were married, and there was no love between them at all. After they got married and gave birth to Qiao Nan's brother, they each went on to do their own things. As long as no one was killed, no one cared.
The birth of Qiao Nan caused conflicts in the Qiao family.
His mother was Qiao Nan's first love. It is said that because of the marriage, Qiao Nan wanted to grab both hands and be hard with both hands, so he kept it secret from Qiao Nan's mother. Only when Qiao Nan was three years old did Qiao Nan's mother know about her
Her husband turned out to be someone else's husband, and she became a mistress. When she went to ask the cheap dad about it, he accidentally pushed her downstairs and died on the spot.
Qiao Nan watched helplessly as his mother was pushed down. Not only could she not be saved, but her father also had to take her to the Yunben family.
It goes without saying that the mistress of the Qiao family does not like to tease other people's tempers, but she is not much better for an illegitimate child.
Both people and his nominal brother treat him very poorly.
The cheap dad had confessed to Qiao Nan very early on that his eldest son was the heir to the Qiao family. As for Qiao Nan... the best outcome would probably be to find a powerful ally for the Qiao family through marriage. Don't make any assumptions about anything else.
When Qiao Nan was young, he couldn't do anything. He was a soft-spoken person. Even if he didn't want to marry into another family, he wasn't allowed to do so. The only thing he could do was to work hard to improve his strength while he was still young and leave the Qiao family when he became an adult.
However, Qiao Nan was admitted to the military academy, graduated with first place honors, and even went to fight on the battlefield. However, in the eyes of the Qiao family, Qiao Nan was still just a bargaining chip.
All the efforts he made were nothing more than making himself more valuable.
Qiao Nan wants to return to reality for this reason.
He has endured it for so long and finally has the ability to take revenge, but he is trapped in this game. How can he be willing to do this?
As for the game "Sanctuary", it is a holographic online game independently invested and developed by the Qiao family. Compared with the reputation of the Qiao family, the life and death of his illegitimate son is not important at all.
Occasionally, Qiao Nan would think, wouldn't it be nice if he didn't leave the game and just stayed in the game? At least he wouldn't have to worry about so many worries.
But when he thought of his mother and those who still cared about him, he strengthened his belief in going back.
He must make the Qiao family pay the due price.
Thinking of this, Qiao Nan stood up and stood in front of a map suspended in the air.
This is a map nearly as tall as a person, with seven areas divided into seven colors. Only the demon area is a light gray.
Gray means that the full achievement has not been completed.
It's not yet time for the new world to open. Qiao Nan stood in front of the demon map, waiting boredly.
According to past experience, every time the world restarts, the interval is about one month, and he can take the opportunity to practice and learn.
However, this time the interval was only one week. The demon map in front of him began to flash, and Qiao Nan stepped in without hesitation.
----------------------------------------
At a mission point in the mountains behind Banjar City, many young people fiercely attacked wild boars with weapons. After these wild boars were killed, a new one would appear soon after.
The place is lively but orderly. People are constantly leaving after completing their tasks, and new people are constantly being added.
Qiao Nan wore a navy blue shorts and carried a black, simple-looking long sword on his waist.
He made up his mind to go to the Abyss Demon Realm, so he didn't hesitate too much in the early stage of leveling.
In ordinary online games, it only takes a few mouse clicks to kill this kind of wild boar, but in "Sanctuary"... it is a real gun with real bullets.
After all, "Sanctuary" is a holographic game. The skills in the game only require a few clicks of the mouse. In "Sanctuary", players must learn by themselves. Learning skills does not just require a few clicks, but requires rote memorization.
.
It is precisely because of this sense of reality that people flock to "Sanctuary".
Qiao Nan stood alone at the edge of the refresh point, using his long sword to sharpen the wild boar's blood bit by bit. If anyone observed carefully, they could see that each of Qiao Nan's swords hit the vital part of the wild boar.
All will cause critical hits.
Not only that, Qiao Nan's movements were so nimble that he didn't look like a novice at all. He quickly dodged all the wild boar's attacks and moved with ease.
Two wild boars were already down at his feet, and he killed the third wild boar with one sword. Then he wiped his hands in disgust and took out his knife to remove the wild boar's hind legs.
Maybe he had stayed in the Holy Light City of the Celestial Clan for a long time, but Qiao Nan's every move was full of holy beauty. He was clearly unloading wild boar legs, but other players saw the illusion that he was cutting steak in a high-end restaurant.
"Pretending to be cool." Someone muttered in a low voice.
Qiao Nan glanced at the person who spoke, then handed over the task while carrying three bloody wild boar legs.
It went very smoothly, no different from the previous tasks.
Qiao Nan reached level ten without any obstacles. After level ten, you can take a carriage to the nearest main city, go to the race you want to go to through the teleportation array, and transfer jobs and change races there.
The initial default race of "Sanctuary" is human race. If you are afraid of trouble and don't want to change jobs for the time being, you can wait until later.
Qiao Nan didn't want to wait too long. His purpose of coming back this time was to clear the Demon Realm dungeon. The sooner he could change jobs, the better.
He walked to the coachman in this small town and paid five copper coins to ask the coachman to take him to the nearest main human city - Bangal City.
However, the carriage must be filled with five people before it can set off. Qiao Nan waited for ten minutes and finally gathered five people. Coincidentally, among them was the guy who scolded him for showing off. The other party obviously recognized Qiao Nan, not only did he not
Feeling embarrassed, he boasted in front of Qiao Nan.
"I would say, it is best to fight the human-faced spider in the early stage. The spider silk dropped by the human-faced spider can be used to synthesize a green long sword with poison. Although it is only green, it is very suitable to be used as an excessive weapon. It is very suitable.
Swordsman!" The freckle-faced boy raised his voice.
Qiao Nan's eyes looked strange.
The silk of the human-faced spider can indeed be used to synthesize a green sword, but the silk is not a casting material, and the success rate is low. The cast sword will also break after a few uses due to corrosive toxins.
As for why he knew it, it was purely because he had stepped on a thunder and found it was difficult to use after forging it. It was a waste of materials and was simply useless.
Moreover, the Human-Faced Spider is considered to be very powerful among monsters of the same level, so these level 10 novices don’t even have to expect it.
There is no krypton gold system in the closed beta. If you want materials, players must earn money hard in the game and buy them from NPCs.
"Wow! You know a lot!" Another rookie player looked at the freckled man with admiration.
"Of course, because my brother is a beta player." The freckled man raised his chin proudly, "I know a lot of things!"
Qiao Nan leaned to the side and closed his eyes to rest.
Forget it, the kid is not sensible anyway... let him show off.
"Hey! That guy? Do you know?" Qiao Nan was too lazy to care, but the freckled man refused to let him go, "What do you mean by closing your eyes? Who are you looking down on?"
"Sorry, the buzzing sound of mosquitoes is too annoying. I don't really want to pay attention to it." Qiao Nan said lightly, "Also, spider silk is not a casting material. If you want green weapons, it is better to use Goblin Town.
The hammer dropped by the goblin is used to forge weapons, oh, I forgot, you probably don’t know.”
Qiao Nan opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside.
"What——" The freckled man blushed.
"Besides, you can't defeat the human-faced spider." Qiao Nan said slowly.
The freckled man almost jumped at the excitement of Qiao Nan's words.
His brother explained that someone had forged it before! And it was quite powerful!
"There's no way I can't beat them! Even if there are ten of them, I can beat them!" the freckled man said with a stern face, his neck thickened.
Anyway, there won’t be a human-faced spider now, so what’s wrong with bragging?
"Really? Then I'll leave this human-faced spider to you?" Qiao Nan pointed at the human-faced spider outside the car window.
It was a huge, terrifying spider nearly thirty meters tall. From the waist up, it was in the shape of a human woman. It was completely naked, with long black curly hair like seaweed hanging down on its chest. Only its upper body looked like a
A beautiful woman full of allure.
But now this woman's lower body has the ugly appearance of a spider, and there is no tenderness in her eyes, but a frightening hunger.
This human-faced spider wants to eat them!
"How, how is that possible!" The freckled face was so frightened that the others couldn't even speak. The driver even turned around and left when he saw the human-faced spider.
If you don’t leave now, you won’t have a chance!
"Now is the hunting season, and it is also the breeding season of Warcraft. The Warcraft at this time is the most ferocious." Qiao Nan explained, "It is not incomprehensible to come out to look for food because of hunger."
"What sarcastic words are you talking about! That's, that's..." The freckled face couldn't even finish the sentence. He wished he could jump out of the car and run away now, far away from here.
Only then did they have the sense of crisis to face the danger head-on.
Qiao Nan just opened the curtains and took a look, then put it down without interest and continued to close his eyes and meditate.
It didn't catch up, it just looked here from a distance, as if confirming something.
Just when everyone thought that the danger was over, the slow-moving human-faced spider suddenly accelerated its speed, accompanied by a sudden tremor, and rushed directly outside the carriage!
Qiao Nan opened his eyes suddenly and without much hesitation, he pulled the coachman who was sitting outside into the carriage. He then pulled out the sword from his waist and poured his own magic power into it. The magic power washed away the sword because it had been dusty for a long time.
Inside the emptiness, the seven rubies on the sword light up one after another, and a mysterious wave passes through the space and reaches the distant abyss, waking up a body that has been sleeping.
The sword energy soaring into the sky pierced the dark clouds, and the sharp blade almost missed the human-faced spider. When the human-faced spider saw Qiao Nan's figure, it suddenly stopped in front of him.
The huge human-faced spider's body paused on the spot, as if it was resisting something, but it couldn't bear the temptation. It hesitated on the spot. It bent down, lowered its head and looked at Qiao Nan. No one spoke, and no one spoke.
People take action.
The remaining players huddled in the carriage in fear, not even daring to open the curtain.
The freckled man who was in high spirits just now didn't even dare to risk his life, for fear that he would be the next to die.
The few people who had admired him so much just now began to despise him. Finally, the girl mustered up the courage to open the small curtain and looked outside cautiously.
The two people outside looked at each other like stone statues.
Qiao Nan's hood was blown open by the wind, and his long golden hair poured down like sunshine. His side face was gracefully curved, his rose-colored lips were tightly pressed together, and his eyes that were brighter than the sky were firm and profound at this time.
The thin figure felt particularly safe at this time.
The girl covered her mouth, too nervous to speak, for fear of breaking the strange balance if she spoke.
"...King." Suddenly a voice came.
Qiao Nan was stunned for a moment, and saw the human-faced spider's legs bending, and its huge body crashed to the ground with a roar. The human-faced spider maintained a kneeling posture, and shed tears in its dark, pupil-less eyes.
Overflowing with tears.
It tried to lower its body so that it could lie on the ground and stretched out its hands with sharp nails, trying to touch Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan instinctively took a step back and avoided the spider's hand.
"king……"
This time Qiao Nan heard clearly.
The human-faced spider didn't reach out anymore, and kept its kneeling posture, lowering its head deeply.
Its sound was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears very clearly. Everyone, including Qiao Nan, was stunned on the spot, unable to believe what they heard.
