[Online Games] The world is your enemy

"-1."

"MISS."

"-1."

Xue Pei patiently hit the little bow little by little.

After many deaths, he finally found this perfect position.

A dead tree next to the city wall—he was lying on the branch of the tree.

It is definitely impossible for normal players to come here. The system only sets the action of "jumping", but it must not have the setting of "climbing trees".

But it was different for Xue Pei...

Since the model itself has volume, he can always come up with his slow efforts.

Squatting on the dead corner of the branch, Xue Pei gulped and calmed his breathing.Climbing the tree was the most difficult part of his plan. After he got up, he just had to slowly grind away the blood of the demon scout...

"-1."

"-1."

Although the damage is negligible every time it appears, the advantage is that monsters can't hit him.The demon scouts circled around the tree where he was, but for Xue Pei, he was always in a safe state of "you hit me, come up and hit me if you have the ability".

But even so, it took him a long time to complete this task.

After all, the attack power of 1 point each time is still too pitiful, coupled with the monster's own life recovery speed... making his journey of fighting monsters extremely slow and difficult.

When he was about to complete the task, he suddenly heard a voice not far away.

"Hey, what is that?"

Standing on the ground not far away and looking at him from a distance are two players.

Although the novice area has always been the most deserted area in the game, old players will not come here for sightseeing in idleness—but there will always be new players with new accounts.Xue Pei had met these two novices before. Half an hour ago, they were newcomers to the game, but now they have all been upgraded to level 10 and equipped with equipment, and they will soon leave the novice area.

In contrast, Xue Peina's novice tasks that have not been completed so far seem even more tragic.

However, at this moment, the two players started pointing and discussing——

"How did that person get up there?"

"I haven't heard that you can climb a tree at all... Could it be some hidden mission?"

"Tch, you read too many YY novels, right? There are no hidden missions in reality." The first player snorted, "And the world is not the first day of operation today, and the old districts opened before have been abused. I have never heard of such a thing. Even if a new area is opened, at most one or two activity tasks will be added, how could such an inexplicable thing be made."

"Then what is that thing on the tree?" Another person asked suspiciously.

"It's an NPC, it's an Easter egg NPC sitting on a tree." The previous player said confidently, "Didn't you see that from the time we registered until now, that guy hasn't moved at all? How can there be such a player, that's for sure It’s a new little easter egg for people’s entertainment, it’s of no practical significance.”

"Is that so..."

The two left thoughtfully like this, leaving Xue Pei alone on the tree without a word.

Xue Pei felt like she wanted to burst into tears.

The NPC is a big-headed ghost!I stayed on the tree for half an hour and couldn't come down, just because the attack power was too low and I fought for half an hour... You are the NPC and your whole family is the NPC...

But the resentment was the resentment, Xue Pei still ran down and handed in the task conscientiously.

The quest rewards are just a small amount of experience and skill points... However, when he got the quest rewards and upgraded to level 2, he felt that there was nothing more touching than this.

Previously, my Taixu dungeon was just to get top-quality equipment...but now what is it for?To survive!The motivation is so far apart, the result is naturally different...

The upgrade gained 3 potential points, and Xue Pei added all of them to "strength" in one go.

The current attack power is "Attack: 2-3"...

Although it is still ridiculously low, at least it is no longer the eternal unlucky "-1"...

In addition to the novice task of killing monsters, the next few tasks are running errands and using items.Compared with the demon scout who caused Xue Pei to hang up countless times just now, these tasks are much easier and smoother.

After all, this is the first novice tutorial in the game, so there is no difficulty at all.

The only one who has been trapped by such small tasks for such a long time, and has survived so many times... seems to be only Xue Pei who "is an abnormal state and is rejected by the system" and "does not belong to the player".

After doing a few easy tasks in a row, I finally encountered a place where I needed to fight monsters.

Xue Pei is still the same... He dies once to test the monster's attack power and blood volume, and then starts to go around the corner to find "the dead corner where neither the player nor the monster can go".

His weapons are a small bow and a dagger - the former for output, the latter for suicide.

If someone else looked at the current scene, they would definitely be amazed at Xue Pei's ruthlessness.Killing oneself again and again is not something that ordinary people can do.

But Xue Pei who was in it could only smile wryly.

—He actually didn't like death at all.

As a clinical medical student, Xue Pei understands how fragile life is better than other ordinary people.The human spirit exists attached to the body. Although it is praised by people, the spirit is not strong or noble.Encountering unbearable pain and torture, people's will will quickly collapse in the first place.

But...the body doesn't even exist...what should I do?

Unable to achieve death in the true sense...you have to feel the pain and suffocation of death again and again, and then watch yourself resurrect again and again...like Sisyphus in the endless cycle in mythology.

What to do if you can't bear it, you can't just continue to bear it.

He is not stronger than others, but has good adaptability.

Looking at the dark sky in the novice area, Xue Pei stabilized the small bow in his hand and continued to walk up the hillside.

His current location is also "outside the normal map", but he hasn't found a suitable location where he can kill monsters.

It is not his talent to find this kind of BUG position. Before that, he was also a model player who followed the rules.

He can do it only because of the special situation now... If he doesn't finish this damn novice task, he will die here again and again. He doesn't want to die, so he can only find it.

But just when Xue Pei was about to use the BUG method to kill monsters again... suddenly, an unexpected figure appeared in his field of vision.

When she was sure what she saw clearly, Xue Pei almost threw the bow away with trembling hands.

It was a figure walking slowly in a valley not far away... Although there were huge monsters several meters high all around, this person walked like a stroll in a garden.

But that's not the point... Players can actually walk quite leisurely...

The point is... that person was wearing "that" robe!Wearing "that" cape!

This set of clothing is quite famous in the game, and any high-level player can quickly recognize it...

"...Yujizi?" Xue Pei stared blankly at the super famous and popular NPC.

Yu Jizi, one of the bosses of the Youdu camp.

The source of his popularity is very simple... because the dungeon he sits in is high-level and well-equipped, and of course it also causes a lot of player raids.If any player can successfully kill him and explode his equipment, an announcement with the player's name will appear on the entire game server.

The question is... why did such a final boss appear in the novice area!Xue Pei wanted to flip the table a little bit.

The moment he saw the figure in the cloak, he immediately hid behind a rock.

But after a while, he suddenly relaxed again... realizing that this incident was not as incredible as he thought.

First of all, the design of the novice area of ​​the game "The World" is quite distinctive... The initial area for novice is "Tiangu Bronze Gate". This is not a safe area, on the contrary, it is the front line of fighting monsters.The monster NPCs that novice players face are also weakened, and even the blood is often only half.

After experiencing the plot of this area, it is the normal Jiuli safe area...

But according to the plot... Yu Jizi, who was a human national teacher and turned to a demon, appeared here, it seems... er, quite normal?

This is basically the back garden of the final boss...

After thinking about this, Xue Pei became less nervous.

Normal phenomenon, normal phenomenon... He simply stopped thinking about the final boss not far away, and directly regarded that person as the background wall passing by to make soy sauce.

And on the other hand... What's so scary about the final boss?

Anyway, now low-level mobs hit him with instant kills, and bosses hit him with instant kills... Does it matter who killed him?

Taking a deep breath, Xue Pei refocused on the mobs he was going to deal with.

Now he doesn't appreciate Brother Ji's leisurely mood, and the top priority is to get out of the novice area as soon as possible.

He refocused his mind on killing monsters... But for some reason, he still felt a little uneasy.When he hit those low-damage ones with the small bow, he always had a strange sense of foreboding...

——It was as if...someone was watching him all the time?
