Chapter 1 The exhausted work party chooses to become an NPC(1/2)
Dear players, you have completed the creation of characters, and the game disk of "Void" will be opened for you soon. Currently, you can choose three ways to enter to start writing your legend:
1. Legend of the brave man in another world. Choose to be the brave man selected by the gods of the three camps. At the beginning, you can choose some of the corresponding gods in the three camps by yourself. The gods will give the player the right to transfer jobs and the possibility of learning specific skills. The fixed basic profession is the brave man in another world. He is a character with a clear belief, a random birthplace, and a clear main line (destiny) task. However, his camp and belief cannot be changed easily.
2. The heroic legend of adventurers. At the beginning, you can choose the object of faith or become a non-believer, and you can choose the basic profession corresponding to the place of birth and the area of birth. Depending on the profession, there are more clear main job tasks. A series of adventures will be launched as the main job improves. With the purpose of improving yourself, challenging different secret realms, and obtaining higher rewards, you can change your camp and faith.
3. A role-playing legend of the NPC. Choose to become a basic functional NPC with a level 5 level in the first-level town or village below the second-level village. It has a certain infrastructure or equipment license innately. The faction and belief are set according to the basic NPC, and can be changed later. During the game period, you must perform the fixed periodic duties and responsibilities of the NPC, otherwise you may lose your profession and authority and bear certain adverse consequences. In addition, there is no main task, and you can explore freely. The income from the use of the infrastructure belongs to the player, and the favorability of all NPCs in the town or village in the initial birthplace area is increased by 500.
Wang He looked at the three options in front of him, lifted his chin and fell into deep thought.
Time goes back to more than four hours before entering the game.
"Life is like a game, and it is often impossible for you to choose." Wang He sat on the company's seat, muttering to himself as he looked out the darkness outside the window.
Suddenly, he lowered his head and slowly stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, looking at the brown ripples, he seemed a little restless.
The reason is no different. Today is the public beta day of the most popular virtual reality game "Void", and the public beta opening time is set at 7 pm.
As the game that Wang He has been thinking about for a long time, he was already mentally prepared and vowed to clear the obstacles that hinder him from entering the game as soon as possible.
He even worked from home all night last night and completed the work he had booked today in advance.
However, plans can never keep up with changes.
As it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, the company leader came over and arranged an emergency work task for him.
If he still wants this job, he must complete the work first.
Wang He is 26 years old this year. After working for several years, he has long been used to working overtime, and nine to nine has become the norm.
He sighed heavily. No matter how tired he is, who is not for life?
He is just an ordinary office worker, so where can he get the capital to compete with reality?
At around 11 o'clock in the evening, Wang He greeted his junior who was still fighting, and then gave him some tips on his skills to improve work efficiency and left the company.
At half past eleven, Wang He, who finally got home, quickly took a shower, changed his clothes slightly, and couldn't wait to enter the game connection warehouse dedicated to "Void".
In the middle of the 22nd century, technology was able to develop rapidly, virtual reality technology was widely used in major fields, and virtual reality games emerged one after another.
But this "Void" is different. Its producer is not a small domestic private enterprise, but a strategic game company established by the governments of major countries.
The manufacturers are overwhelmingly , and the money-burning advertising that swept the world , plus the unrealistic game promotion videos revealed, all of which demonstrate their strong production capabilities and unparalleled gaming .
In addition to spending about two months' salary to purchase a dedicated game connection warehouse, there is no additional cost, and the manufacturer even made it clear that in-game purchases do not exist.
As an old player who has played many virtual reality games, Wang He keenly realized that the purpose of this game is simply to attract popularity.
This puzzled him, where is the money-making point of the game?
If a good game wants to enter a virtuous cycle, it is necessary to have enough customers to consume to support its operations.
Putting the things that I can't figure out, Wang He shook his head, and it is urgent to enter the game as soon as possible.
After all, at this time, he had a gap of more than 4 hours between the first players who entered.
Diving in...deep diving...complete.
There was nothingness around, and the only thing that caught Wang He's eyes was a throne that was vaguely radiating light.
On the throne, a person wearing dark silver armor, who could not see his face and could not tell his gender suddenly asked him questions.
"Which plane are you from?"
This sound seemed to penetrate the soul, making Wang He excited in addition to being shocked.
He was curious and gave this game ten thousand praises to this unusual experience in his heart.
In the past, the games were all beautiful goddess receptions, and the selling points were all about selling meat and cuteness, and there were also some opening draws.
Now the entrance scene is simple, direct and mysterious. For him, who is pursuing balance and gameplay, it is the best time to feel.
"What is your name?"
Before he could answer the previous question, the voice came into his mind again.
As this question was raised, a fire suddenly lit up around him, and Wang He found himself and the throne surrounded in the midst of the surging sea of fire.
A gaze locked his whole body hard, and a feeling of heat and suffocation suddenly hit his heart.
Wang He calmed down and did not look at that line of sight, but recalled the introduction of the game on the official website.
The world of "Void" is divided into three major camps, orderly, neutral, chaotic, and has a belief and good and evil value system.
On the map, it is divided into two major world sections: the Western civilization world and the Eastern civilization world, each with different humanistic ecological systems and extremely complex mythological systems.
In addition, outside the two major civilized world sectors, there are still a large number of unexplored areas, commonly known as the wild world.
Because it is a global game, the player's language problems are translated into common languages that the other party can understand, so there is no problem with communication.
In terms of occupations: It has an extremely large occupation system, with at least thousands of occupations, which generally seems to be similar to traditional tactics and pastoralism. However, it differs according to different regions and mythological systems.
In summary, it combines many features of games and has its own unique features.
What's more special is that as long as you meet the conditions for profession triggering in this game, all professions can be obtained. However, there is only one basic profession that can be obtained innately.
And there is no so-called hidden career advantage. As long as you know its conditions and try to meet them, it can be said that everyone can obtain it.
Moreover, all professions are balanced, and their advantages must be disadvantages.
In Wang He's view, how to effectively and rationally use the characteristics of a profession is the core gameplay of the game.
As for more detailed information, he was naturally unaware of it, who was not an internal tester.
It is said that the internal testers of "Void" have been carefully screened and the official does not allow any internal testers to disclose information in the game publicly.
This adds a bit of mystery to the game, and Wang He can only analyze and judge based on some superficial information.
After thinking about it, Wang He replied to the name of the character he wanted to establish: "Abel."
He is used to playing martial arts in China and is doing well in Xianxia World Games. This time he decided to experience the game style of the Western world.
It seems that he has a Western name that is quite pleasing to the first impression, but in fact, Wang He has his own considerations.
Since it is a global game, choosing to join the Western civilized world will inevitably lead to more contact with foreigners. In order to carry out tasks more conveniently in the future, it is the kingly way to follow the customs.
"So, make a choice."
With Wang He's answer, the majestic voice sounded again.
At this moment, all the scenes around him were destroyed, and in the void, a character who was exactly the same as Wang He's real world appeared.
In front of him, a floating translucent panel appeared, and the text displayed inside was some necessary options, settings and instructions.
The first thing that must be chosen is the world where the birthplace belongs. Wang He chose the Western civilization world without hesitation.
Immediately, a column of text popped up on the page, which was about the determination of race.
You have selected the Western civilization world as your birthplace. Next, you can choose from the following basic races:
Humans, elves, half-elves, dwarfs, orcs, half-lings, vampires, ghosts.
Wang He, who was used to playing with the human race, chose the human race without much consideration.
His reason is very simple. The human race is most universal in any game and is easy to use.
Wang He read the introduction of other races without leaving any omissions and silently remembered it in his heart for future reference.
After browsing, Wang He nodded and thought to himself that this is indeed the case.
Judging from his browsing, there is no big difference between race and traditional Western magic games.
After his selection is over, changes begin to appear on the panel, showing two types of values.
One category is the free allocation of additional attribute points for characters, with the number of 20.
One type is the number of appearance adjustment points, the number is 10.
Regarding the appearance of the character, in addition to gender, height, body shape, appearance, etc., you can adjust it.
The appearance points can be regarded as quantitative adjustments of a certain range of a single item after Wang He's simple test.
For example, 10 appearance points represent the height within 30 cm and body shape within 30 kilograms, and the appearance of a handsome guy.
Adjustments to the details of hairstyle, hair color and pupil color will not consume appearance points.
Wang He doesn't care much about his appearance. After more than 20 years of life, he has nothing special except for the comforting words that people have said, "I've been watching for a long time."
To put it bluntly, he is an ordinary person.
But as a player, he will think about how to use points reasonably and adjust characters that are beneficial to him.
Wang He spent 2 points to adjust his face, which was originally slightly stiff and cold due to long-term overtime work, slightly gentler.
He commented on himself and looked like a good person and was quite trustworthy.
Even if an acquaintance sees it, he can only say that the evaluation "It's a bit like, but it always feels not right" can perfectly conceal your true appearance.
Although he has nothing to do with being handsome, he is already very satisfied.
The hairstyle is still short. As for the hair color and pupil color, Wang He chose to keep the original color.
The body, hair and skin are the ones that are born in the country of race, and we are even more proud.
From the previous game to the present, he has always been like this and cannot violate his principles for a mere game.
