Homecoming through online games

=====================

Ye Mu was sitting by the stream, with an information board open in front of him, as if he was talking to himself.He was talking to Wind Chaser on one side in this way.

The bonfire was extinguished, and a layer of thin branches and long green grass was spread on it. The temperature of the embers spread through the branches and leaves, carrying the heat and the fragrance of the grass.Ye Cang lay on his back and slept soundly, his head resting comfortably on the thick hair of the food reserve.He didn't hold grudges against the food reserves, he lay there obediently and let Ye Cang lean on him, half-closed his eyes as if he was asleep, and moved his mouth occasionally, biting a piece of grass around his mouth, chewing and eating it, quite contentedly.

The conversation on Ye Mu's side was not so warm.

"Zhufeng, why was there a moment of silence on the boat before Molong's sudden attack yesterday?"

[Currently] Chasing the Wind: Because the master's voice is terrible.

"... What you heard was my voice? What's the content? What kind of scary method?"

[Current] Chasing the Wind: It's the master's voice, that's right.Suddenly it sounded in my head, and said murderously, who is Kan Shui?

"In the brain? Isn't it in the ears?"

[Currently] Chasing the Wind: It is right in my mind.Speaking of which, master, why can you understand what I said.I didn't really laugh at that idiot Ye Cang a few days ago, master, don't tell him.

"...Don't say that in the future, forget it this time, I won't tell him. Do you know why that black dragon attacked, and who is it referring to Kanshui?"

[Currently] Chasing the Wind: I have never heard of the name Kanshui.Who knows what kind of madness that guy went, he suddenly appeared to stop the boat from leaving, yelling to fight with Kanshui, as if he wanted to eat people.Probably because I stayed in the river for a long time, my brains turned into mud.

After thinking for a while, recalling the situation at that time, and then contacting the [area] alarm he saw in the cave, Ye Mu realized the mistake he might have made.

At that time, he only thought that humans could not understand the conversation between the spirit creatures, but he didn't expect that humans could also hear what he said in the information column.And it was in such a terrifying way that it sounded in the head, so it was no wonder that there was a commotion on board.

As for the murderous look, maybe it's because of his (fierce) fixed attribute?

After thinking about it and having an idea, Ye Mu said to Zhufeng:

"Let me tell you a word, the kind that rings in my head."

He concentrated his attention, thinking about what he wanted to say, and added a precondition—only let Chasing Wind hear it.

[Currently] Chasing the Wind: Huh?

[Private Chat] You said to Chasing Wind: Can you hear me?

[Currently] Chasing the Wind: Got it.Master, what do you want to say?

[Private Chat] You said to Chasing Wind: It's okay.

[Current] Chasing the Wind: ...

Looking back, Ye Cang was sound asleep, and there was nothing unusual about the food reserves, as if he had heard something.From this, Ye Mu judged that this should be the correct way to chat privately.

Really, this kind of thing should have been thought of at the beginning, but was limited by the inherent thinking, and it took such a big detour to figure it out.It is still necessary to adapt to such a "non-scientific" way of thinking as soon as possible.

Squeezing the space between his eyebrows, he looked up at the sunlight shining through the branches, and he took out a bottle of milk and drank it.

The brain that was a little drowsy due to fatigue and sleepiness cleared up instantly.It seems that the effect of restoring internal strength, in addition to eliminating hunger, can also supplement sleep.

He fell silent, quickly sorting out the information he had collected so far in his mind.

Since he woke up, apart from the original weapons and this body, he first met a child in the game at the campsite, and then unlocked the automatic attack skill when the monster attacked at night, and unlocked the recovery potion after he was injured in the middle of the battle. The package function, unlock the mount function when you plan to leave the camp for a long journey, unlock the sect system on the way to the former site of Qisha Hall, unlock the chat system when Jiangzhong is attacked and cannot understand Molong's language, and finally, in the cave with He Liang When in action, unlock the buddy system.

Putting all these things together, a certain pattern can be clearly seen.

He tentatively classifies these incredible abilities even in this world as a "game system", and this system is obviously improving step by step with the increase in his reputation, the different things he encounters, and his own needs at the time. in self-improvement.

At first he thought that the prestige needed to unlock it would increase sequentially, but now it seems that is not the case.The chat system and friend system unlocked after the mount only deducted [-] points of prestige each.

Try to think about it from the perspective of the game. What are the similarities between the automatic attack skills unlocked by deducting [-] points of reputation, chat and friend systems?And compared with the package and mount functions that deduct more prestige, what is the difference?

The former is a related system for interacting with others in the game, while the latter is only for him?

No, combined with the function of the mount being re-locked when the mercenary's reputation is negative, this classification should not be so simple, at least the change of the mercenary's reputation has no effect on the former, while the unlocking status of the latter is attached to the mercenary Prestige status exists.

The uses of mercenary prestige are currently known to be unlocking system functions and transforming reality props.As for the package and mount functions, compared with the other three functions, where is the extra prestige consumed?

That's it!

He suddenly understood.

If the moment he appeared in this world is regarded as a new character in the game, everything has a reasonable explanation.

Automatic attack skills, chat system, and friend system are all default functions after creating a new character. Although the package function is also available from the beginning, the things inside are not what the initial character should have. The same is true for the mount function. Although the character defaults to You can have a mount, but you need to obtain it through a series of tasks later, or buy it in the system mall. In any case, you should not have a mount from the beginning!

The large amount of prestige deducted for unlocking the package and mount function may not be for unlocking the function, but for redeeming the props in the package and his two mounts!

After thinking about and understanding the relevant principles of the operation of this reputation system, Ye Mu did not feel the slightest joy.He let out a breath slowly, gave up and continued to think deeply about the truth behind it that made his heart chill.

The assumption just now, coupled with all the signs related to his game account in this world, made him almost feel for a moment that he was no longer a living person, but an NPC that followed the laws of the system.

That feeling sucks.

Put your hand into the brook, the gurgling stream flows through your fingers, with a sharp and biting cold.He took a handful of clear stream water and splashed it on his face. The splashed water drops all the way from his chin, across his Adam's apple, and into his clothes from his neck. The cold feeling calmed his mind.

He is not a philosopher, and he can stop here for his thinking about the rationality of his own existence.

What should be considered now is how to use the laws that have been explored to effectively play the role of this "system".

Although the reputation statistics panel has not appeared for a long time for some reason, thanks to the information bar that can be called out at any time, he still has a rough estimate of the number of reputations he currently holds.

The current mercenary reputation should still be around [-] points.

Worth a try.

He tried his best to clear his mind, and stopped thinking about the game map of Wolf Smoke in his memory. He told himself over and over again that this was a completely unfamiliar place. He was lost and knew nothing about it. pattern.

New text appeared on the information bar in front of him.

marvelous!When the conditions are met, you unlock the map system.

Unlock the map system and deduct 50 mercenary reputation points.

An extremely wide map was unfolded in front of him, and then it seemed to be folded. After a dazzling change, it became a flat map with a height of a person suspended in the air in front of him.

The map is a standard game style, but it is much more detailed and real than the game map. Some cave buildings and other places are marked with special marks. When the eyes fall on it, the upper left corner will immediately display the current distance from here. Mileage and altitude difference.In the upper right corner, there is a direction mark similar to a compass, and in the middle of the map, a blue halo representing the location of one's side is flickering slightly.

Successful.

He looked at the location of Dajiang in his memory, and frowned slightly.

There was a big gap between Jiang He's location and the shape he remembered.

Originally, when it flowed through the western part of the Central Plains, it should have passed through a plain.But at this time, it can be clearly seen from the map that its flow in the west is much northerly, passing through two mountains.

To put it simply, in his memory, the river on the map is like a horizontal line drawn with a brush dipped in thick ink, but now, the second half of the horizontal line is still the same, while the front half has raised its head. It became a long stroke on the map.

This simple swipe turned the mountain that could have been bypassed into an insurmountable moat.

After quickly calculating the altitude of the mountains on both sides of the river and the distance to this place, and estimating the time required for this route, Ye Mu had no choice but to give up his plan to travel west along the river.

The land is impassable, the water is impassable, so... what about the sky?

Ye Mu thought of the flocks of dead owls in the sky.

Relatively speaking, the air is the weakest link in the monster's defense.

I don't know if the demon can understand the private chat sent by myself through the information bar.Instead, you can try to catch a monster.

If it works, it may be possible to obtain information and find out the monsters in the enemy army who are responsible for domesticating strange beasts, so as to temporarily gain control over the death-reporting owls.

Speaking of animal taming, in the game, Yinyulou can be regarded as an expert in this aspect, after all, it is a hidden skill of Yinyulou's bow system.

He inadvertently thought of the only Yinyulou disciple he knew in this world, that young man named Feimon.

Now that the demons have already attacked Shengyang City, the unprotected army outside Changyi City is probably in danger of being attacked from the front and rear.

The words of the farewell were still in my ears, and I still owed the other party a favor.But I didn't expect that maybe if we say goodbye that day, it will be a different journey for life and death.

His eyes sank, he stopped thinking about it, and instead thought about the next action plan.

...I hope you are still alive, the feeling of being in debt is really bad.

The mongoose is still alive, though not very well.

He coughed and spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with sand. He leaned against the wall behind him amidst the billowing smoke and dust, and tried his best to raise his arms, which seemed to weigh a thousand catties. The dead owl, let go of the string, shoots out the arrow.

Staring viciously at the ugly bird with bloodshot eyes, he wailed and fell, and he muttered:

"I'm not dead yet, so howl."

Beside him, there are beacon fires, gunpowder smoke, corpses, soldiers covered in blood, and the sound of fighting that seems to never stop.

At his feet, on the high city wall that has been stained red with blood, two large characters that are almost unrecognizable are engraved——

Long benefit.
