Chapter 3: The Game Begins

  Soon, the graduation exam began, and the situation was similar to the previous life. With Li Yi's "standard", he knew clearly in his heart that there was no hope, and at most, he could only mix up a graduation certificate.

  July 15th, "The King of Gods" officially started public testing. Li Yi from the previous life didn't enter the game in a timely manner due to Chu Nan's incident. He only entered the game after a full year since its opening test.

  "There are still ten days left, let's see if I can make the first pot of gold. If not, I'll honestly find a job and go to work steadily."

  A fleeting thought flashed through his mind, thinking of the regrets of his past life, Li Yi was once again in a state of heartache. Although he was still playing games, his mindset had changed greatly from before.

  "Auntie, is Yige at home?"

  A loud noise came from outside the door. As soon as Li Yi heard this sound, he was shocked all over and rushed out quickly.

  "It's Chen Yang, come in quickly, your brother Yi is at home."

  As soon as Chen Yang with a big head and ears walked in, Li Yi rushed over, grabbed his hand, and wouldn't let go.

  He had a lot of apologetic words he wanted to say to the fat man in front of him, but when it came to his lips, he couldn't say a single sentence.

  "Xiao Yizi, what's wrong with you? You're acting so weird. I remember owing you money, but I already paid it back."

  "It's nothing, it's okay." Li Yi's nose turned sour as he patted Chen Yang's shoulder with force.

  This unassuming fat guy in front of him is Li Yi's childhood friend, who has a knife scar on his belly, which he got for taking the hit for Li Yi. It was during their first year of middle school when they accidentally provoked a group of thugs. At that time, Li Yi grabbed a knife and stabbed randomly without noticing what was behind him, and one knife came over, but the fat guy bravely blocked it.

  It's no exaggeration to say that the two had a friendship that could withstand life and death, but when Li Yi was at his most frenzied in gaming, Fatso had asked him for help. At the time, if Li Yi had just lent a hand, he would have definitely been able to resolve Fatso's problem, but he... This incident also caused the two to completely sever their relationship.

  Li Yi kept patting Baozi's shoulder, unable to express his apologies in a thousand ways, the feeling stuck in his throat.

  "Xiao Yizi, are you okay?" Chen Yang was a bit frightened.

  "It's all right now." Li Yichang took a deep breath and returned to normal.

  Seeing that Li Yi was fine, Chen Yang finally put his mind at ease and rubbed his chubby hands, saying: "Right, I came to find you today to ask if you want to play the public test of the King of Gods? I heard that playing that game can make money."

  Play.

  Li Yi's response was quite straightforward.

  "Great, I'm ready to make a big profit now. I've chosen my profession - the White Spirit Ranger that can add blood and has both physical and magical abilities."

  "Don't play rogue anymore, rogue profession is versatile, but to make rogue powerful, not only equipment needs to be good, but also need to wait until level 100, that's too long for you. I think you should play summoner instead, high blood volume can withstand natural summons, very suitable for you."

  Li Yi has another sentence that hasn't been said, which is that playing Assassin's Creed is extremely demanding on operation. With Chen Yang's gaming level, even if he was given three years' time, he wouldn't be able to play it well.

  In fact, in the previous life, Chen Yang played the role of White Elf Ranger, but it wasn't just that he didn't make any money, even leveling up was very difficult. He entered "Gods' King" a whole year earlier than Li Yi, yet Li Yi surpassed his level in just one and a half months. As for equipment... swindling players never lacked equipment.

  Chen Yang exclaimed: "Really? How did you know so clearly?"

  In order to choose a good career, Chen Yang browsed official websites and looked up materials every day. Now that Li Yi had said so, he immediately wavered a bit.

  "Trust me? Trust me and I'll choose Natural Summoning, the racial ability... Choosing Dwarf isn't bad, Dwarves have a talent called 'Greased Lightning' which can help us escape when we can't win..."

  Chen Yang shouted: "Innate talent? How did you even know about racial innate talents?"

  The official website only announced the eight major races and eight major occupations, but there is no introduction to racial talents and professional skills. As for the so-called internal testing for ten years, although this rumor has been widely spread among players, it's true or false, nobody knows, because there has never been any game content leaked out before.

  For players, except for occasionally seeing some game clips released on the official website, everything about "Gods of Kings" is still a mystery.

  "Is it true or false? Wait until the game is open for testing and you'll find out. When creating a character, the system will tell you what talents each race has."

  Chen Yang rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression: "Alright, if it's really like you said, then I'll play Dwarf Summoning."

  "I still want to get a helmet somehow, but the money is all saved up and the helmets are out of stock. This 'King of Gods' company is weird too, apart from an official website, no one even knows where their office is located."

  "This is simple, give me the money and come back tomorrow to get your helmet."

  "Really?" Chen Yang got excited.

  "I have a classmate whose family is a direct sales agent for the headset of the game 'Gods of Kings'."

  "That's great!" Chen Yang was delighted.

  "By the way, what profession do you play?"

  "You'll know when the time comes." Li Yi said with a mysterious smile.

  ……

  The next day, before Fatso came to pick it up, Li Yi had already sent the gaming headset over.

  The graduation exam has already ended, and all that's left is to get the useless graduation certificate. Apart from this, Li Yi doesn't need to go to school anymore.

  Ten days passed in a flash, and Li Yi had already made all the preparations. Before the game started, he put on his virtual headset and waited quietly.

  Ding!

  A crisp ringing sound, and the light in front of me gradually brightened.

  "130,600 years ago, the ancient gods created this world, when the earth was quiet..."

  Skip it!

  When entering the game, Li Yi had already heard it hundreds of times. Now that the game has just started, every second counts, and for him, listening to this overly familiar introduction was a complete waste of time.

  "The game characters are divided into eight ethnic groups, namely humans, dwarves, white elves, werewolves, undead, dark elves, giants and beastmen. Due to the difference in ethnicity, their talents are also different..."

  Skip it!

  Skip it!

  Li Yi kept giving orders and finally arrived at the character selection screen.

  Towering shield warriors, holy knights surrounded by sacred light, mages who grasped the laws of elements, one after another handsome figure flashed before his eyes.

  If you're not very familiar with this game, most people will linger on this screen for a long time.

  "Race: Human, Appearance Adjustment: None, Occupation: Archer, Name: Dark Wing!"

  "Got it!"

  In his previous life, he chose the dark elf thief. This time, he gave up on being a thief and chose to be a human archer, with only the name remaining unchanged.

  A flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and Li Yi, dressed in a linen garment and holding a small knife, stood on an empty lot in the 103rd Newbie Village.

  The new village of the King of Gods game has tens of thousands, and which new village to be born in depends on two things: one is gender, and the other is race.

  Level: 1

  Name: Dark Wing

  Race: Human

  Occupation: Archer

  Blood Volume: 20

  Magic: 10

  Strength: 15

  Defense: 5

  Agility: 17

  Movement speed 5

  "Damn those wild boars, they're back to steal corn from the village again. Alas, who can help me get rid of them?"

  The village head of No. 103 stood with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself as he anxiously looked out at the cornfield outside the village.

  The similarity is over 90%.

  Li Yi ran forward and accepted the first novice task "Kill 10 small wild boars", immediately turned around and ran towards the village exit.

  Players emerged one after another in the novice village, and before long, a sea of heads surged forward, chaotic and noisy.

  A completely simulated game, never with a human touch. The King of Gods is indeed very thorough in this regard. In order to avoid the awkward situation of men and women being crowded together, male players and female players are separated into different newbie villages when entering the game. Single-numbered newbie villages are all male, while double-numbered newbie villages are all female...

  It's not that it's too crowded, but there are too many people, and it's inevitable that they will block your view. Adding to that, everyone is a beginner, so how can the scene not be chaotic?

  While many players were interfering with each other and scolding, Li Yi had already run out of the village and stabbed seven or eight small wild boars to death with a small knife in his hand.

  In the early days of King of Gods, the system treated all professions equally. When you first entered the game, all professions wore a novice linen robe with 1-1 defense and held a small knife with an attack power of 0-1.

  The little boar is easy to kill, with only 50 health points and extremely weak attack power. With a few dozen stabs of a small knife, one can take care of it.

  Ten small wild boars were killed, and a yellow light flashed on Li Yi's body, advancing him one level.

  ……

  Raising one level higher adds a bit of potential value, Li Yi didn't even think about it and just added it to his strength.

  For archers, two attributes are the most important: strength and agility. Strength can increase damage, while agility affects evasion rate and movement speed.

  At first, no need to dodge and move speed, use the fastest speed to knock down monsters, that's the king way.

  Killed ten small wild boars, took out seven pieces of "small wild boar meat". Although the village head's task had been completed, Li Yi did not return directly, but continued to kill small wild boars until he gathered enough for ten pieces of "small wild boar meat", only then was he satisfied and stopped, running into a small forest in front of the village.

  The small forest in front of the village does not refresh any monsters. Many new players run here to take a look and then leave.

  Li Yi put ten pieces of "wild boar meat" around the forest and hid in a hidden place, waiting patiently.

  Not long after, a big yellow dog appeared, walking and sniffing all the way. The big dog quickly found the first piece of meat, sniffed it a few times, swallowed it in one bite, followed by the second piece, the third piece... until all ten pieces of meat were eaten up. Only then did the big dog let out a satisfied cry and fell asleep under the tree.

  Li Yi walked up and touched the big dog with his hand. A prompt appeared in front of him: "Do you want to catch Erhei's Big Yellow?"

  "Yes!"
