Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

A quiet and desolate wilderness ancient town.

In the center of the town, at the crossroads that have been deserted for many years, in front of the soil platform that was the birth point, three white skeletons with different ages and different characteristics looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Wait, I remember that there is an initial skill called 'Appraisal'..." Skull No. [-] with a sweet voice slapped his head, looked down at the character panel that only the player could see, raised his right hand bone claw, and looked towards Watching Qin Guan and Skull No. [-] snap their fingers.

"Yes!" Skull No. [-]'s chin clicked, as if excited, "I can see your ID!"

Question marks filled Qin Guan's head: "Huh? What are you talking about? What identification technique?"

"Ah, that's right, there's also the identification technique." The skeleton No. [-] with a rough voice seemed to remember it, and probably after doing something, he snapped his fingers at No. [-] and Qin Guan, "Eh? Vanilla pudding? You're obviously a man... Wait a minute, with your voice, don't you mean that you're a ladyboy at station B, right?"

Qin Guan couldn't care less about being recognized by others at this moment, he was so anxious that he jumped on the spot: "Wait, why do you all have initial skills? Why don't I? How does this work?"

Now it confuses No. [-] and No. [-]: "Isn't it just under the character panel?" "Yes, you can see it when you exhale the panel."

Qin Guan quickly exhaled the character panel he got after choosing the game character...

On the left side of the panel is Qin Guan's character information:

"ID: Vanilla Pudding"

"Race: Undead"

"Gender: Female"

"Level: 0"

"Potential: 37"

On the right side of the panel, there is an inactive task bar that cannot be opened, inactive achievement information, and a personal log.

Then it's gone.

"No! I only have my character information, task bar, achievement information, and personal log on my panel, and I don't have the initial skills you mentioned?" Qin Guan was so anxious that he was sweating, "Could it be because I chose a female account?" The reason? Can’t play the Shemale account?”

"Impossible, then players who like to play Shemale will not be able to play." Skull No. [-] said strangely, "You really don't have an initial skill panel? Just below the potential value, there is an entry for usable skills. Doesn’t the entry have the initial skill ‘Appraisal’?”

Qin Guan was dumbfounded.

After confirming his character panel again, Qin Guan vaguely had a bad premonition: "Wait...it's the same as far as the potential value, except that there is nothing below the potential... What is the potential value of the two of you?"

Skeleton No. 48 said: "[-]."

Skeleton No. 42 glanced at No. [-] in surprise: "Isn't this potential based on race? There are individual differences? I'm [-]."

Qin Guan's chin almost dropped to his chest: "Damn it... I, I'm 37—what's the point, the character's potential is low and I can't even use skills? I'm relying on me to cut the number and re-elect!"

On the earth, in the computer room with only one server, Yang Qiu watched the three of them and shook his head secretly: "It's useless to cut the number and re-select, brother... It's not about the role, it's about your mental strength not up to the standard."

In order to allow players to get an experience close to the "real game", Yang Qiu, after many attempts, chose to imitate the idea of ​​alchemy puppets to transform the "game characters" provided for players to choose.

Of course, there is still a big gap between game characters and real alchemy puppets—this kind of self-propelled combat aid that only alchemists can afford must spend at least a thousand gold coins in magic materials to create a durable body. More than fifty magic runes are inscribed to form a variety of combat systems, and the built-in magic spar is also used as the core drive.

Game characters don't need to be so durable, they are controlled by the player's soul, and the most expensive built-in core can also be saved; in other words, Yang Qiu only needs to work hard on the supporting runes.

It's easy to say, but researching this set of supporting runes made Yang Qiu scratch his head - he can try his best to push up the runes, anyway, as long as this kind of supporting runes is produced, it can be quantitatively copied, but the goose is the most The important thing is whether the player's spiritual power can carry and drive it!

The engine of a family car is installed on a tank, and it is necessary to lie down!

So...Yang Qiu could only carefully select the runes for consideration, first cut them into a weakened version, and then pick and choose to make up a rune array that was as less picky as possible...

In the end, the rune array engraved inside the game character, in addition to the two necessary runes of spiritual imprint and resurrection call, also has "spell detection", "primary meditation", "primary battle roar", "primary wind control" Art" these three basic runes.

The character panel (including character information, task bar, achievement information, and personal log) that the player can see is the realization of personal information loaded in the spiritual imprint rune. The player's soul can be displayed after activating the spiritual imprint. Anyway, it is very simple Realized information will not increase the consumption burden much.

The real consumption is big, "Spell Detection", "Elementary Meditation" and other runes, players with potential (spiritual power) less than 40, cannot activate...

Players who meet the 40-point potential condition can activate spell detection and use the initial rune of "Appraisal" also have a limit on the number of times they can be used, um, that is, the built-in CD...

Of course, the purpose of setting these thresholds is to prolong the online time of players, not to drive players away.

Moreover, potential (spiritual power) is not fixed, but can also be increased; the player's soul is equivalent to "running and fitness" for the soul during the "game" process, and it can be improved to varying degrees depending on the individual's growth. .

That is, as long as you have enough liver, you will definitely be able to use skills one day...

"Looking at this situation, the difference in potential value after realization will still dampen enthusiasm...Do you want to add a random description of 'character quality' to win respect for this type of players? Hmm... add a game character The non-replaceable explanation makes them misinterpret their weak chickens as bad luck."

Yang Qiu rubbed his chin thinking about patching. In the undead spawn point, Qin Guan searched for a long time but couldn't find the option to delete the number. He covered his face with his hands in dejection.

"Don't be discouraged, you're so stupid, maybe it's a bug, it doesn't matter if you choose the wrong character, you can't even use the skills, quit the game later and send an email to ask the producer." Skeleton No. [-] persuaded.

Skull No. [-] ID gave me medicine. My real name is Yao Hengyi. In reality, I am a construction engineer and a light game enthusiast. Although I am not a fan of Qin Guan, I have seen Qin Guan’s videos.

"Yeah, besides, the official didn't say whether to delete files in the closed beta. If you delete files, you can change the character when you open the beta." The female player of Skull [-] ​​also comforted, "Speaking of this, have you Notice that today is the first day of the game "Outsider World" to open the server, and there are still only three of us online, maybe the game will be closed after the closed beta is over..."

"Damn it!" Give me the medicine and Qin Guan jumped up at the same time.

On Earth, Yang Qiu in the computer room silently held his chest.

Number two, do you feel that you are a bit ruthless...

"It would be a pity if this game goes bankrupt!" In the spawn point of the undead, he gave me medicine and said something fair, "Although there are bugs, this game is really strong, and the details are in place. VR games can do this. It’s just blowing up! Cao Da, why don’t you help make a video to promote it, and call more people to come and play?”

"I started recording videos when I was selecting characters, and I am still recording now." Qin Guan said, "The personal log in the panel is used to store screenshots and video information. I guess the official also has the idea of ​​​​hoping players to help them serve as tap water."

No. [-] was overjoyed: "Hey, then can I be on camera?" Then he compared Qin Guan with a pair of scissors, and his lower jaw was pulled down, as if he was trying to make a smile...

Qin Guan & give me medicine: "..."

"Forget it, why don't we first see how this game is played... Uh, it's rare that the three of us are so lucky to log in and meet together on the first day, why don't we form a team?" Qin Guan said.

"It's necessary." The passer-by fan gave me the medicine and responded immediately.

"Okay, okay, if I want to play alone, I really don't dare to wander around this birth point. I'm not good at horror games." Number two also said.

The function of inviting a team must be available. After forming a team, players can see each other's ID and health bar.

It’s just that there is no numerical display on the blood bar—it’s not a real online game after all, and it’s impossible to calculate the combat ability based on the blood bar, so Yang Qiu pondered over it, and simply turned the battle damage into a bar display. Even if the level is killed, it will be forced to be recalled by the resurrection call... The main reason is that the player is afraid that the player will be smashed to the extent that even the thousand-year-old skeleton can be smashed into pieces, so it is an insurance in advance.

The three players in the team walked out of the birth point and looked at the deserted town curiously.

"This place... is really crappy!" Skull No. [-] sighed, "Compared with the ruins-themed exploration videos I've seen, it's a fairyland on earth. Where did the artist get the scene from?"

"The birthplace of the undead needs this kind of atmosphere." I think I appreciate this deserted town after taking medicine, "Compared to the Undercity, it's too clean and tidy, and it doesn't look like the Forsaken should squat at all." the place..."

While talking, the three walked around a crumbling cabin.

Whether it is Qin Guan who is recording the video with the first-person camera that comes with the character, or No. [-] with a face full of novelty, or I want to take medicine with a face full of surprises, the chins on the faces of the three skeletons all drop neatly. Lose.

On the side of the cabin, squatting zombies.

A half-rotten waxed zombie.

Only half of his head has flesh, most of his body is covered by dark blue skin, and a small part is exposed bones. He is wearing a tattered pullover and half-rotten trousers of unidentifiable material, with his hands clasped around his knees, Sitting in front of a crumbling log cabin.

The three players are just ordinary young people. They have only seen corpses in horror games or horror movies in their life. Now they are caught off guard by seeing such a rotten half-wax zombie, and they are all stunned for an instant...

The zombie with his hands on his knees slowly raised his head, looking at the three players with dull, dead eyes.

At this moment, Qin Guan seemed to see a big "Danger" written on the top of his head, and the word was still bright red...

"Hi, compatriots." The zombie said gloomily, uttering Chinese characters bluntly, "It seems that you just woke up from eternal sleep, would you like to do something for me, I can give you clothes as a thank you gift."

Three players: "...(°△°(°△°(°△°)"
