King from scratch

What will the different world look like after 20 years (game time)?

When he first learned that 20 years had passed, He Xingwen thought about this question.

For humans on earth, 20 years is nearly one-fifth of a long life, which is enough to rejuvenate a country and stand on top of the world again.

But for the different world, 20 years is only 20 years.

There are not many long-lived species in this world, but there are also not many short-lived species.

Most of them are intelligent creatures that can live for hundreds of thousands of years, so even though His Majesty the King established a new continental order 20 years ago, injecting vigor and vitality into the continent and bringing a new order and scientific path, but If we want to talk about the changes in the past 20 years, the biggest one is the kingdom dominated by human beings, and the organization of the Temple of Knowledge born out of thin air.

As for those aborigines with long lifespans, it is difficult to change anything in just 20 years.

After all, it can take more than ten years for mages to research a spell.

He Xingwen pressed the mouse to rotate the game character, trying to distinguish more specific changes in the world from the screen. He tried his best, but the objective conditions were there, and the perfunctory textures made it hard to tell whether the thing was a pillar or some other building ...

"Let's go and pick up the mission."

Wu Xing led He Xingwen towards the building behind him.

He Xingwen manipulated the game characters to keep up with Wu Xing's footsteps, and suddenly realized that there are so many players here. It turned out that they went directly to Ai Zhijin's station in the Diman Empire.

Wu Xing walked into the gate, and a cutscene flashed on He Xingwen's computer screen again...

"This kind of small scene can't be merged into the big scene? Do you need to load the cutscene?" He Xingwen was puzzled from the bottom of his heart: "Although I know you are perfunctory me, you can't be so perfunctory."

He Tong came out and said something fair: "At present, the main console of the game is providing gaming experience for billions of players. able to do this.”

If you want to continue to optimize He Xingwen's game experience, you can only weaken the game experience of other players...

He Xingwen gritted his teeth for a long time, and made up his mind: "We will go to the great scientist in two days!" As for now, he can only be wronged to endure this shitty game experience.

Although there are many cutscenes, the main console of the game has not been so frenzied as to waste unnecessary time on them. After the cutscenes flashed by, a new scene appeared in front of He Xingwen.

He Xingwen can understand why a cutscene was added for this scene change.

Because the number of players here is densely packed, it is much more lively than outside.

In fact, because the player's demand for tasks is too high, the main purpose of this building is: to accommodate enough players.

As a result, a vast indoor area came into being, with counters of different responsibilities showing a semi-arc shape along the edge of the room, and above the semi-arc, there is a huge display screen, which randomly refreshes various tasks.

Players called for friends, struggled in the crowd, white lights of teleportation and death flashed from time to time, many players left after accepting/handing in quests, but there were also many players pouring in from outside, so that the quest hall The degree of player crowding has not diminished in the slightest.

In a holographic game, this kind of crowding is very realistic, but on a computer screen, this kind of crowding can only be counted as part of the gaming experience.

He Xingwen swept his gaze and found a series of npcs with exclamation marks on their heads.

He Xingwen walked towards the npc.

Wu Xing was still trying to squeeze his way out of the crowd, but He Xingwen had already jumped into the crowd.

The movement of jumping into the crowd was too slippery, and for a moment Wu Xing had some kind of self-doubt—could it be that I squeezed in the wrong way, so I couldn't get into the crowd?

When he tried to imitate, but caused complaints from other players, he realized that it wasn't that he squeezed in the wrong way, but that the opponent seemed to have special skills.

He Xingwen, who was bored pressing the "w" key to control the game character, yawned, stopped in front of the npc, clicked on the npc, and started a dialogue.

A task dialog popped up on the screen: "Dear warriors, the mainland is waiting for you to save..."

He Xingwen directly ignored those backgrounds, and focused his gaze on the selection bar.

"1. Single player task. 2. Team task"

When He Xingwen stopped his gaze on the option of forming a team mission, he realized that Wu Xing seemed to be missing...

He squinted his eyes and tried to distinguish Wu Xing among the densely packed nicknames of players, but soon, he slapped his head and clicked on the chat box in the lower left corner of the screen.

This chat box is no different from the online games He Xingwen is familiar with. It is divided into multiple channels, including World Channel, Nearby, and Secret Chat.

He Xingwen clicked on Secret Chat, entered Wu Xing's player nickname, and sent a message: "Where are you? Directly accept the team formation task?"

Wu Xing was thinking about life among the vast number of players, and was caught off guard when he saw the system prompt [Player "Xinghancanlan" has opened a private chat with you. ], and then He Xingwen's voice rang out from his mind.

"You're so partial to subjects," Wu Xing couldn't help complaining, "It's hard to learn your profession and practice your skills, so why don't you start a private chat first?"

"Of course it's a team task. When the time comes, my brother will take you to fly and tell you to see what a great god is."

He Xingwen clicked "Team Formation Task", and a new task dialog box was refreshed.

"Many strange things have happened on the continent..."

He Xingwen glanced over these words and looked directly at the selection bar.

"1. [Strange Voice] Mission Details 2. [Unknown Fear] Mission Details 3. [Noble Death Cloud] Mission Details"

He Xingwen clicked one by one, the mouse moved quickly, skipped the task introduction, and accepted all of them. He didn't change to a new NPC until the npc reminded that he could not accept new tasks until the task was handed in.

He Xingwen walked around the counter, skipped all the quest introductions, and after accepting all the quests he could accept, he reunited with Wu Xing in the corner.

"Which quests did you take? I should take the quests. The level and skills of the players who take the quests are different, and the difficulty of the quests they receive is also different. At your level, you can only take the easiest ones..."

He Xingwen shared the task with Wu Xing.

Wu Xing's chattering voice suddenly disappeared.

He Xingwen didn't care. He had just regained the feel of the game by taking quests crazily—although the screen of the game was crudely made, the other parts were not. At least it had everything a game should have.

"Let's go to the task?" He Xingwen looked at his task list. A qualified domestic online game knows how to consider the player's IQ, and clearly marks the distance between the task target and the player, so that the player can easily complete the task. experience.

He Xingwen stared at the mission site and geared up, but didn't care if he didn't get a response from Wu Xing, and said to himself: "Let's go."

"Wait, where did you take so many missions?" Wu Xing was not so shocked that he had nothing to say. After seeing He Xingwen took so many missions, Wu Xing immediately sent a secret chat to the acquaintances, and gained a lot. Heaps of free labor.

[Hua Xing: Twenty or so bounty hunter missions, come or not? 】

[Ye Dog: Coordinates. 】

[Wang Xuan: Come right now, wait for me! 】

【Green Leaf: Was it your turn to be on duty in Xinshou Village yesterday?You didn't come again? 】

[Dudu: If a family doesn't speak two languages, where is the brother! 】

[Lun Lun Lun: The task of twenty bounty hunters?Have a big life again?Save me a spot. 】

[Li: I'm in the New World, so I can't keep up. I will remember the brother's love! 】

[Ou Huanghuang: I just finished the mission of the bounty hunter, where are you?I'm coming to find you. 】

"From Ai Zhijin." He Xingwen walked out of Ai Zhijin's camp, and after another cutscene, he continued: "Didn't you say to accept Ai Zhijin's mission?"

"The point is that there are so many quests!" Wu Xing said casually while replying to the message: "Ai Zhijin's bounty hunter quests can only be accepted by each player at most three, why do you accept so many?"

Fuck?I just got into the game, and I'm about to be exposed?

He Xingwen was shocked for a moment, and then quickly realized that the reason why he played the computer version of the holographic game was because he could not enter the other world through the holographic game cabin.

In other words, this computer version of the game character has nothing to do with He Xingwen. Even if Ai Zhijin wanted to open a back door for him for His Majesty's sake, it was impossible for him to know the relationship between this round guy and His Majesty.

He Xingwen calmly clicked on the character panel and found the problem.

The main console of the game provides a full-level template. He Xingwen removed a lot of things to disguise himself as an ordinary player, but some things gradually developed in the two years since He Xingwen disappeared. The last time He Xingwen modified the player template, he had no experience at all. The law is set to two years later.

So he missed a data and did not change it.

And this data is called: player achievements.

Player achievement is not a new thing, it was created by He Xingwen in combination with He Tong's proposal before, and it comes with an illustrated book of all races and a new civilization illustrated book.

But two years ago, the achievement was just a new system that just appeared, and two years later, countless liver emperors turned it into a fully mature system.

Now all the common achievements have been unlocked by the players, and one-fifth of the special achievements are also lit up. The rest of the special achievements that have not been triggered are basically summarized as the trigger mode, not to mention the intelligent creature race map and the progress of new civilization exploration. The all-races illustrated book in this area of ​​the mainland has been unlocked long ago, and now the Great God is working hard towards the entire world's all-races illustrated book.

And the overall list of new civilization exploration progress has also been advanced to 34%. Considering the number and ferocity of the new civilizations in the outermost periphery of the mainland, it is only two years to reach this point, which is definitely determined by the number of deaths of players. of.

All in all, He Xingwen's full-level account can also be called a full-accomplished account...

He Xingwen glanced at the achievement page, his heart trembled, he turned off the voice call button, and urgently asked for help from the game's main console: "This full achievement is too exaggerated, anyone who reads it will suspect that there is a py transaction between me and the planner, no All the achievements of the players have been deleted for me."

Jin Guang moved unhappily.

When He Xingwen clicked on the achievement page again, his heartbeat finally returned to normal.

Wu Xing waited for a while before waiting for He Xingwen's explanation.

"I brushed the favorability of Ai Zhijin before and got a special achievement called Business Friend." He Xingwen clicked on this achievement, glanced at it and introduced: "I, like you, can only get three from one Ai Zhijin." A bounty hunter's mission, the difference is that I can take three missions for each Ajin..."

Wu Xing narrowed his eyes suspiciously: "Ai Zhijin doesn't even give players discounts when his favorability is overwhelmed. How can this kind of unscrupulous businessman get special achievements? How many favors have you gained?"

He Xingwen was about to answer, when Ou Huang, who was nearby, found them first, listened to them by the way, and lost his voice: "Ai Zhijin has special achievements?"

With a sound of "shua", the nearby players who were eavesdropping finally turned their heads uncontrollably, and showed their fiery gazes at He Xingwen and the others.

Although He Xingwen didn't feel it, Wu Xing and Ou Huanghuang, who were the focus of everyone's attention, responded instinctively, fully demonstrating the hand speed that a master who has been chased by players all year round should have.

The cutscene flashed again on the computer screen.

He Xingwen calmly poured himself a bottle of Fat House Happy Water.

After the short cutscene ended, the scene on the screen changed to another strange place.

He Xingwen absorbed the lesson from last time, and without embarrassing his eyes, he directly glanced at the nickname on the mini-map: Xinshou Village.

Novice Village?

He Xingwen turned the angle of view, but he couldn't compare the surrounding scenes with the Xinshou Village in his impression.

The city planning of Xinshou Village is an upgrade content that comes with the Kingdom, but after He Xingwen disappeared, some new changes have taken place in the city planning of Xinshou Village.

The vehicle drove above the sky and drove directly into the high-rise building from the upper floor. The green landscape and unknown technological products on the ground replaced the original road, leaving only the sidewalk that allows intelligent creatures to walk.

And those unknown technological products, in the crudely made maps, it is really difficult to identify their functions. The only thing that can be confirmed is that they will appear at intervals, neatly arranged to the farthest point.

On top of these large pillars, the light of traffic order is shining, which also acts as a "traffic light" above the sky.

This is the player's base camp. He Xingwen remembers that after handing over Novice Village to the player, he even withdrew the NPCs, but at this moment He Xingwen saw many druids on the screen. The environment is exceptionally harmonious.

What is wrong with this world?After only two years, players can coexist peacefully with druids?

However, the appearance of Druids made He Xingwen understand why large-scale green plants covered the roads on land.

It is impossible for players to take the initiative to implement the concept of protecting the environment so thoroughly—unless they have to.

He Xingwen was concerned about the great changes in Xinshou Village, but Wu Xing and Ou Huanghuang were unaware of this. For them, all this has long been taken for granted, and there is nothing worthy of special introduction.

"Okay, let's go quickly." Wu Xing led He Xingwen and the others into the nearest pillar.

This is not only a "traffic light" function, but also a building?

As soon as He Xingwen entered, he realized that this was not a building, but an "elevator".

The square box recloses as they enter, there is no floor button inside the box, Wu Xing directly inputs ether, and complex ether lines emerge on the surface of the unknown material, which changes with Wu Xing's ether input.

[The central square has been located for you, I wish you a pleasant journey. 】

As the sound sounded, the "elevator" started to operate by itself, and as the "elevator" operated, a screen emerged from the wall and began to play the "projection video".

A bridge spanning the universe emerged in the vast universe. At the end of the bridge, the camera suddenly zoomed in, and the shattered void and hideous races of various colors came into view. The camera passed them without hesitation, and went further away , bringing into the field of vision the intelligent creatures that are fighting, fighting, or even lazily resting below. These are not the main objects it displays. wreckage of the world.

"All the warriors of the continent, the New World, is there.

Opportunity, gold, and great power are all there.

Come, explore the new continent with us and spread the order of the continent to the whole world.

Your Majesty the Immortal King, Aizhijin-New World Branch is waiting for you to join, contact this communication number and join us! "

When He Xingwen heard it at the end, he realized: "Advertisement?"

The "elevator" that was going up was slightly shaken, and suddenly flew out of the large pillar horizontally, seamlessly connected to the road to the sky, and continued towards the destination.

At the moment of detaching from the big pillar, a small transparent window appeared on both sides of the elevator, which is convenient for passengers to see the scenery.

As a computer player, He Xingwen can see more than the holographic player trapped in the "elevator".

The screen lights up.

Countless roads carrying various means of transportation run parallel in the sky. The traffic command port at the end of the road directs the dense traffic to different roads. The roads converge at the command port and separate from the other end.

How to describe this scene?

Even such a shoddy picture can't hide its sci-fi feel.

Western fantasy game?

No, this is a world that has conquered sky and sea, and set its sights on farther lands.

"Aizhijin is so rich, and Luye has revitalized the economy of Xinshou Village by selling advertisements, awesome."

Speaking of this, Wu Xing still had a hard time restraining his admiration for Luye's magical writing a few years ago: "But wasn't the advertisement for mages recruited a few days ago? Why did it change to an advertisement for Aizhijin recruiting adventurers so quickly? "

Ou Huanghuang did know something inside: "The Continental Congress held a few days ago raised the level of the expansion of the new world, so priority is placed on the recruitment advertisement of Ai Zhijin."

Wu Xing was a little surprised: "Has the research on world projection made progress?"

"That's not true, it's still the same, but the Hall of Knowledge announced that the scientific system of the Great Scientist has entered the supplementary stage..." Ou Huang Huang winked at Wu Xing: "You know, it needs more information about new civilizations To supplement the... scientific system.”

He Xingwen was on the sidelines with a shocked expression the whole time.

My mental journey went from "What? The mage actually needs to place an enrollment advertisement in Xinshou Village?" to "Continental Congress? Raise the level of matters for expanding the new world?" to "More new civilizations to supplement the scientific system?" My head was full of question marks. Couldn't find an opportunity to ask a question.

This amount of information is too explosive - for a player who was still alive two years ago.

He Xingwen coughed, pressed the voice call button, and interrupted the conversation: "I haven't been online for so long, and the mage is still recruiting students?"

"Ah? By the way, this is?" Ou Huanghuang's attention was attracted by him, and he turned to look at the strange player: "I haven't seen it before, isn't it a beta player?"

"A colleague of mine... was busy with other things before, and hasn't played the game for several months," Wu Xing wrote lightly: "I took him to catch up with the progress of the game."

Ou Huanghuang showed a comprehensible expression, and answered He Xingwen's question: "Isn't it? After the 'Palace of Knowledge' covered the entire continent, the research of mages has entered a blowout period, and the number of players who need to be attacked has skyrocketed... Don't you know this game? At the beginning, none of the mages knew how much they disliked players, but now it’s really delicious.”

Wu Xing said from the side: "The main reason is that the player's thinking mode is closer to the scientific system, and the expansion of the enrollment of mages is not to make up for their own shortcomings?"

"That's right, those archmages have lived for so long, it's really hard to change their thinking mode all at once."

He Xingwen still has other questions to ask, but this short trip has already arrived at the destination, the box shakes, slides into a certain building from the air road, then descends rapidly, and finally stops steadily.

[Has arrived at the central square. 】

As the "elevator" reopened, a cutscene flashed on the computer screen again, and a new scene appeared in front of He Xingwen.

A large, uneven pillar with a fuzzy map—according to He Xingwen's experience, this should be a monument in the city center.

No wonder it is called the central square. He Xingwen sighed with emotion, and carefully looked at the buildings on the screen. It was difficult to distinguish those buildings in the city center: Aizhijin's commercial building, dwarf's factory, warehouse, etc.

Wu Xing and the others took He Xingwen into the political center of Xinshou Village - the Administrative Bureau. This is currently the only area where ordinary players do not have permission to flood in on a large scale. It has basically become an exclusive place for great players to gather.

Several players were already sitting in the meeting room, including Ye Quan, Wang Xuan, Dudu, and Wang Lun. When they saw Wu Xing and the others, they stood up to say hello.

"Changing places on the way? Was caught by other players?"

"Brother, come, quickly share the task."

"Where are the missions of more than [-] bounty hunters? Have you found the game bug?"

"Hey, I haven't seen this player before, your friend?"

Wu Xing answered the group of people's questions with ease: "Don't say it, I was almost left behind, you didn't see that scene; Xinghan, please share the task with them; what kind of bug, special achievement, you know; by the way, Here I would like to introduce my friend..."

Wu Xing pulled He Xingwen to his side, and introduced them: "A colleague of mine was busy with work before, and I haven't been online for a few months. My main purpose of going online this time is to take him to catch up with the big team as soon as possible..."

"Lead someone to gain experience?" As a famous lone ranger, Ye Quan immediately became unhappy: "You didn't say it earlier..."

"I haven't finished yet," Wu Xing said, "He made the special achievement of Ai Zhijin by himself before, otherwise why do you think I can have more than 20 bounty hunter quests?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's ears perked up.

"Ai Zhijin has special achievements?"

"Yo, brother, add a friend, let's talk carefully."

"Let me tell you earlier, I'm a professional at leading people to level up, and I have several special places to spawn monsters."

"Xinghan is brilliant, fortunately? Then I will call you Xinghan together with Brother Xing?"

Xinghan... He Xingwen shuddered at the nickname Lei, and immediately corrected him: "We are all friends, just call me He Xingwen."

Ye Quan bumped into Wu Xing, and sent a private chat: "Your friend is not young, so you're going to be known by your real name?"

Wu Xing didn't reply. In fact, on the contrary, He Xingwen was younger than most of the people present.

"Ai Zhijin's special achievement..." He Xingwen glanced at the introduction on the achievement page, and said, "It's actually not difficult to get it, as long as you don't receive any rewards for a hundred consecutive Ai Zhijin missions."

Ye Quan: "Damn, I already knew that the virtue of Ai Zhijin is beyond plucking, how could it be possible to give special achievements casually?"

"One hundred missions? With my current level and skills, the difficulty of missions I can receive is beyond the limit. I don't want to pay for such difficult missions? I'm crazy..."

"Isn't it most convenient to get this special achievement when the level and skills are not up?"

"But why would a player not get paid for a hundred consecutive missions?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's eyes turned to He Xingwen.

It seems that the character of Old Antique, who is not good at games, cannot be changed for a while.

He Xingwen: Unexpectedly, this made me prostitute for nothing.
