Walking in the forest, Old Eggplant suddenly felt like a night march during military training in college.
It felt like he just wanted to sing a song.
I wonder if singing is possible in this game?
Old Eggplant then asked.
"Report, Lord Knight, can we sing?"
Hearing what Old Eggplant said, Brown almost fell off his horse.
What is this singing for?
Aren't they afraid of attracting those monsters from the dark forest?
"No, you can't make too much noise here. When you leave the forest, you can sing whatever you want."
Brown hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Old Eggplant had no choice but to give up, otherwise it would be a beautiful thing to sing a target song and return from the march.
Fortunately, it's not far from the edge of the forest.
Light soon appeared in front of him. Old Eggplant saw that the trees had become sparse, and he came into the sunshine.
A world unfolded before his eyes.
He saw scattered fields, people working inside, houses and sentry towers in the distance, and a desolate land.
"This is the Kingdom of Darkness?"
Lao Eggplant felt the same as other players.
This was completely different from the magical civilization they knew. It looked more like a backward and poor mountain village.
The villagers had numb expressions on their faces and were taciturn. They had no emotion at all about the appearance of this group of players, and no signs of any disturbance could be seen.
"It seems that the NPC debugging here has not been completed. Only a small number of NPCs have independent consciousness. They are probably passers-by."
The old eggplant thought that in many games, only key NPCs have plot dialogues, and most of the others are just one or two sentences to prevaricate. There are very few games in which the dialogues of passerby NPCs change with the progress of the game. Even more
Most passers-by only have one model. When you click on them, you can tell that they were once an adventurer, until they were hit by an arrow in the knee.
As for Lu Tiao's games, as we all know, these NPCs are extremely sophisticated, as if they have a huge database. There will be no loop dialogues at all. No matter how the dialogue progresses, this kind of NPC logic design will definitely require a lot of time.
Therefore, Lao Eggplant can also understand the reason why passers-by are not designed with such rich response states.
"The taste of this grass is quite real."
"It smells so bad here. Is someone defecating anywhere?"
"The taste of mud is quite real."
"Brother, that's not mud, that's cow dung."
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Players are like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking left and right, curiously looking at the whole world.
"Can we get that kind of equipment if we upgrade later?"
"You are stupid, you have come to the Kingdom of Darkness, you must learn magic!"
"I understand, our main line is to fight against the demonic tide."
"But there's nothing here, so do we have to build it ourselves?"
Everyone talked a lot and finally arrived at the door of the Baron's Mansion.
It's said to be a baron's palace, but it's just a mud house.
The players are waiting with great interest for the Baron to come out.
Soon, a man in a red robe came out.
Then, behind him, the players saw the serious Lu Jian, Shia, Stone, and Drizzt.
"???"
Old Eggplant was stunned when he saw Lu Jian and almost didn't react.
Is this Lu Jian himself or his NPC?
He murmured inwardly as he listened to the baron's words.
"Everyone, I am the lord of Ritwilight Town, Jero. I am summoning you to build a fortress to resist monsters, as well as facilities that can study monsters and fight against monsters. Use your strength and I will give you generous rewards.
.”
Baron Jero said with a trembling voice. At first, he was a little worried about whether these blunt words could persuade these guys who seemed to have great ideas.
But it seems that his worries are unnecessary.
Because as soon as Baron Jero finished speaking, the players became restless.
"Damn, that's awesome. I really have to fight against the demonic tide. It's so exciting."
"Can we switch to magician? I always want to make fireballs."
"I guess those characters are mentors. For example, if you find Shia, you can change your profession to a mage, if you find Lao Cui, you can become a shooter, etc."
"Then what will happen if you look for Lu Tan?"
"Becoming a psychopath?"
"It turned out to be a garbage-picking and farming game. I didn't expect that I would have to move bricks in the game after moving bricks in reality."
"I'm an old MC player, and I'm best at building houses."
Different players have different expectations, but no one questions Baron Jero's words.
This confused him.
Because according to observation, these people, just like Lu Jian and others, should have received a good education, have their own independent consciousness, and seem to be very capable. Such a guy will obey an inconspicuous person and seems to have no fighting ability.
The Baron's words?
But the reality was completely different. They accepted what Baron Jero said as if they were breathing, and immediately had some plans.
"I'll do it."
Lu Tiao walked to Baron Jero at this time and said.
"Everyone, I can purchase equipment and tools here. You must provide useful materials before you can purchase basic equipment. Go find it in the black forest and turn it into our fields. Go ahead."
Lu Tan pointed to the black forest in the distance.
The players turned their heads simultaneously.
See the lush forest and the various creatures that may exist in it.
Their eyes suddenly showed greedy looks.
Although I am now poor and have only one piece of clothing, there must be many good things in the forest.
Thinking of this, the players became excited.
"This mode is a bit like famine, except that there is a stronghold at the beginning. We can first pick some branches or fruits."
"You can pick up stones to make weapons and hunt those monsters."
"I'm going to take a walk around the village first. Maybe there's a hidden quest line."
"Yes, didn't the Baron just say that he still wants to study monsters? If we capture the monsters alive, we can probably make more profits, right?"
"You start with a stone, but you have to pick up all the equipment?"
"Think about it, the guy who went deep into the forest just now and was killed means that there are monsters deep in the forest. If we move quickly, we can scan the outside of the forest first, wait until everyone has finished scanning, and then enter the more difficult depths.
, now it can be said to be first come, first served.”
The players quickly took action.
Lao Eggplant has a lot of experience in this kind of massively multiplayer online survival game. He knows that the resources in the early stage are limited, and one can take the lead in every situation.
Therefore, he decided to rely on his status as the leader of the team to get close to the knight and try to get some weapons.
Old Eggplant came to Brown and spoke in a consultative tone.
"Lord Knight, look, I have organized your team for you. Can you provide me with a weapon? I will go to the forest and catch monsters for you."
"???"
Brown was confused when he heard what Old Eggplant said.
Weapons are of secondary importance. How dare you go to catch monsters in the dark forest with your shabby clothes?
Isn’t this too brave?
Besides, I don’t want the monsters you captured!
However, after thinking about it, he thought it would be okay to provide weapons to this guy, since he wouldn't be able to use them for the time being anyway.
After making the decision, Brown called his men and gave Lao Eggplant a sword.
Old Eggplant got the sword and pulled it out, feeling that his fighting power was bursting at the seams.
When the other players around him saw this, they all showed envious expressions.
"Damn it, I just said that if you have a good relationship with the NPC, you can get treasures. Look at his sword!"
"Grass, don't touch it anymore, let's go to the forest now!"
"Brother, let's follow you!"
"We can just go find the monsters and kill them. I don't know if you will lose experience by killing monsters here."
"Go quickly, go quickly, if you go slower, we may only have a hoe left."
The players were stimulated and quickly ran towards the black forest that the townspeople had avoided in the past.
Old Eggplant raised his sword, and at this moment, the souls of Dragonborn, Demon Hunter, Old Hunter, Ashes, and the Faded One were possessed.
"Come with me and defend Higurashi Town!"
He shouted, and several players followed him and quickly disappeared into the black forest.
