Journey of a Thousand Miles

LandofDarkMagic, Black Magic Continent, Tyre Town.

Crowds of people.

This is the first day of the LDM public beta, and the town of Tyre is the birthplace of the player. LDM is currently the first successfully developed holographic online game on the market. The company has invested an uncountable amount of money, and the production team has been developing it for ten years. Many players have changed from a student party to an office worker in anticipation. today.The internal beta started a year ago, and it was not surprising that the internal beta accounts at that time were fired to tens of thousands. If you didn't grab it for thousands of miles, you can only wait until today's public beta.

Even in the public beta, the cost of LDM is more than a little higher than that of ordinary online games. The game connection equipment alone is almost worth the price of a mid-range computer. With the game point card, this is obviously not an ordinary player's "casual game" Play" is the best choice.Moreover, the official website of LDM only puts the story background, game connection instructions and other things, and there is no more detailed game information. Even in the year of the internal test, all players seemed to lose their voices collectively. Publish any strategy online.But the sum of all these difficulties is not enough to stop the enthusiasm of the players for the first holographic online game. On the contrary, it also stimulates the challenge mentality of many people. After all, the country has such a large population, and there are plenty of local tyrants.

Qianli spent some time familiarizing himself with the information on his operation panel, and then entered "Wugui" in the search player. Sure enough, this player already exists, and Qianli sent a friend request.

The other party replied in seconds, and the two voices made an appointment to meet, and Qianli set off immediately.

The original 2-minute journey was delayed for a long time. It was really because there were too many people on the road. It is not too much to describe it as shoulder-to-shoulder. Fortunately, this is walking. If you drive like in real life, it will take less than an hour.

"Yo, no blame." He waved at people a few dozen steps away.

Wu Jiu also saw him, "Here?"

Walking towards Wugui was a slender young man with casual black short hair, fair skin, and an adventurer's costume mainly in black, which set off the whole person extremely neatly.

"Hey..." Qianli stroked his chin and looked at him, "It's very different from what I imagined."

Wu Jiu's figure is not much different from Qianli's, but he has short shiny silver hair, golden pupils, a gentle expression, and a smile before speaking. Compared with Qianli, Wu Jiu is dressed in blue and white Alternating light-colored clothing.

Qian Li looks like a normal person, but Wu Jiu is completely a game character.

"Are you sure this is what I really look like?" Wu Jiu asked back.

LDM's character creation system can be simple or complex. It is simple because there is no choice of race or occupation. Basically, you only need to choose gender, age, clothing, body shape and appearance.The complexity lies in the fact that the body shape and appearance can be freely set within the range of normal people stipulated by the system, and it is very detailed. If you have patience, you can even squeeze out an Einstein.As for those who find it troublesome, or those who are really confident in their appearance, they can directly choose to realize their own body shape and appearance, and the system will directly generate a character exactly like the person based on the information read by the game device.

LDM has no age limit for players, but real-name registration is required, that is, only one character can be registered for each ID card or account book.

Both Qianli and Wujiu logged into the game very quickly, and they were almost the first players to arrive—otherwise, they might not be able to register a common and common name like "Qianli", so Qianli deduced from the time spent that Wujiu should not be a character Too much thought was put into creating the place.

"I don't know," Qianli spread his hands, "Is that so?"

"What about you?" Wugui asked again.

"Me?" Qianli smiled slyly, "Guess?"

The two are netizens who have known each other for many years, and they have played many games together, big and small, and rarely involved in real things, and they have never met each other.For example, Qianli knew that Wujiu was two or three years older than himself, and he was also a calm person in his impression. Now that his appearance was not as mature as he imagined, Qianli just asked casually.

"Don't guess," Wu Jiu's voice was as flat as ever, "Do business."

The business, of course, is to understand the game, and the two walked together in a tacit understanding.After the characters were generated in the Central Temple, the system did not give any novice guidance, and there were not many things in the operation interface. They were the most common character levels, character attributes, friend lists, login and logout, etc. The character level is naturally level 1. Character attributes include strength, physique, magic power, agility, precision, and luck, all of which are 6. In addition, the most noteworthy element is the element, which is divided into main elements and sub-elements, and the back is empty.

Wu Jiu must have seen such an obvious message, and both of them knew very well that this was probably one of the first problems to be solved.

There is no prompt in the system, so you can only find NPCs. There must be many important NPCs in the place of birth, but the characters here do not have any special signs to indicate their identities. Looking around curiously and the few sets of novice costumes provided by the system.

At this time, the two mainly pay attention to some suspected iconic buildings or NPCs who seem to be very mentor-like. In fact, every player with online game experience thinks this way, but the town of Tyre is crowded at this time. , except that people are people, and even the corners of the NPC's clothes are not seen.

In the short 10 minutes after entering the game, Qianli first confirmed some things.

First of all, this game is generally very realistic. The entire environment and the appearance of all the characters are completely like the real world. The exotic Western European architecture makes people feel like they are in the set of a movie.If it weren't for the fact that the operation panel can be called up, it would really feel like traveling to another world.

Furthermore, some details are set in a very fine manner. The senses of the body, such as sight, hearing, smell, and touch, are all the same as reality. The texture of the objects is very real, and the clothes seem to be removable.There is no sense of disobedience in the action, and I can really feel that this is my body, as if it will really bleed if I cut it with a knife... Is it possible?Qianli touched his chin and thought, this has yet to be verified.

"Tavern." Wu Jiu said suddenly.

Qianli looked up, and there was a signboard of a bar hanging on the wall about ten steps ahead, and the two of them walked in without saying a word.

The tavern was also very lively. After a quick glance, they found that most of them were NPCs, and the two walked straight to the bar.

"Good afternoon, both of you, what would you like to drink?" The waiter at the bar greeted politely.

"Uh...whatever." Qianli tapped the table with his fingers, looked around, and thought that some dialog box would pop up as soon as he spoke.

"Well, how about dark beer?" The waiter gave a recommendation.

"Ah, let's have it." Qianli shook his hand, and the waiter turned around and took out two cups, filled them with purple-black liquid, and pushed them in front of them, "Your dark beer, each cup costs 10 copper coins."

10... 10 copper coins?Both of them were silent, they were newcomers, they were empty, where did they get the 10 copper coins!

"This...it requires money..." Qianli said something stupid.

"Sorry," Wu Jiu also said, knowing that the other party was an NPC, he was still as polite as ever, "We don't have copper coins now, how can I make money here?"

The waiter didn't show annoyance, but smiled, "Are you new adventurers?"

The heads of the two of them shuddered, this is it! NPC's prologue!Ganqing just opened it in the wrong way!

"Yes." Wugui nodded.

"Have you not received the magic stone yet?" The waiter looked at the hands of the two.

"Magic stone?" Qianli and Wujiu asked in unison.

"A must-have item for adventurers." The waiter took back the beer.

"Where can I get the magic stone?" Wu Jiu asked directly to the point.

"Magic Headquarters," the waiter pointed in a direction, "is at the eastern end of Tyre Town."

After they left the tavern, they picked a small path and rushed towards the east. I don't know how many people got the information, but in order to avoid the situation of queuing for two hours... now every second counts.

The two ran at almost the same speed, and the rhythm was very coordinated along the way. After running for about two kilometers, Qianli spoke first, "I can't... stop."

In fact, Wu Jiu also gradually slowed down, and they met each other's eyes, "It seems that running will be exhausting."

Not to mention tired, but he obviously felt that his footsteps were slowing down uncontrollably. Qianli immediately opened the operation panel to confirm, but there was still no relevant energy bar displayed as before.

"Isn't it? This limit has to be calculated by yourself?" Qianli was surprised.

"..." Wu Jiu was also speechless.

"The production team is definitely being lazy." Qianli complained, "Forget it, let's go over there."

It stands to reason that if there is consumption, there will be recovery. After walking another kilometer, Qianli suggested, "Let's go for a jog this time?"

"En." Wu Jiu also had this intention, and switched modes before Qianli finished speaking.

Everything is unknown here, and the two have to use all the opportunities they can to get more information.Isn't the meaning of land reclamation just to be one step ahead of others.

Along the way, the population became less and less crowded, and the buildings became more and more scattered. Seeing that they were not far from the easternmost point of Tyre Town, they trotted until they saw the signboard of the Magic Headquarters.
