Chapter 2: Entering the Game for the First Time
Liu Yu moved all the things from the dormitory over here, my home doesn't have much else, but there are plenty of rooms!
"By the way, Wu Xin, what do your parents do? Your house is so big, you should be very rich!"
I sighed helplessly: "How would I know? They had a car accident when I was 12 years old, and Xiaoyu's parents passed away together with them. When they left, they each left me and Xiaoyu a set of houses! My uncle let Xiaoyu move over to live with me, and Xiaoyu's house was rented out to others for our living expenses!"
"Oh, so you haven't asked your uncle?"
"I asked him and he said it's about software, something quite profound, I don't really understand!"
"It won't always be just the two of you living together, will it?"
I shook my head and laughed, "Of course not! In the past, there was an Aunt Zhang who took care of us. After I and Xiaoyu went to university and boarded, that Aunt Zhang returned home. I think it's necessary to invite her back, otherwise no one will cook for us!"
Xiao Yu said: "Speaking of my uncle, you must know, Hangzhou's wealthy Wu Hao!"
Liu Yu was shocked all over: "What did you say? Wu Hao? Is that the CEO of the Wu Group, Wu Hao? Are they related?"
"Of course! My uncle, Wu Xin's dad, and my mom are siblings. My dad and Wu Xin's mom are also siblings!"
Liu Yu said excitedly: "Then rely on our relationship, you must help me introduce him and arrange this talented young man with both ability and appearance to work in the Wu Group!"
Xiaoyu raised her head at a 45-degree angle and gazed up at the ceiling, saying: "The weather is pretty good today, big brother, what are we going to eat tonight?"
I thought: "If someone cooks, I'll go buy ingredients and eat at home. If no one cooks, let's just go out and eat Sha County snacks!"
Xiaoyu shook her head: "No more, I've been eating Sha County food every day and I'm about to turn into a Sha County person myself. Let's go eat Malatang instead!"
I nodded, and the two of us ignored Liu Yu and walked away. Liu Yu shouted from behind: "Hey, you two shouldn't do this! After all, we're classmates, can't you consider my future for a bit?"
After dinner, the three of them gathered in the living room. Liu Yu said in a low voice: "The game starts at 8 o'clock. At that time, most people will be off work and school, so there will definitely be many players online. What we need to do is enter the game as soon as possible. Generally speaking, the first few players who enter the game will receive rewards!"
"How did you know?!"
"It's always written like this in online games!"
I: “......”
Liu Yu continued: "There are thousands of novice villages in the game, and the probability that we three will be assigned to the same village is really too small. After level 10, we'll go to the city to change our professions, and then we can form a team to level up!"
I nodded with Xiaoyu!
"Anyway, basically it's like that, don't worry, with me, an old game bird leading you, you definitely won't be bullied in the game! Wu Xin, aren't you always envious of my ability to make money in the game? This is an opportunity, if we're lucky, we can make a fortune, don't forget, this is a global game, the number of players is counted in hundreds of millions!"
I and Xiaoyu exchanged a look, both nodding in deep agreement. At least from my perspective, someone who can be invited by game companies to test games and create strategies is already quite impressive, at the very least a top-notch player, and Liu Yu was exactly this type of person!
Back in my own room, I immediately put on the helmet. It's also quite exciting to say that this is my first time experiencing a fully virtual game like this. I've played a lot of games before, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what Genesis can bring me!
"Ding, welcome to the game. DNA identity confirmation successful, bound with ID card. 30 minutes until game start, please wait patiently!"
Yeah, just this prompt sound can make countless men unable to extricate themselves!
Next is the long wait, 30 minutes would be gone in a blink of an eye if used to watch, but it's endless when waiting. Normally I'd fall asleep while waiting, now there are probably countless people around the world waiting like me. In previous online games, the first few players who entered the game ahead of time were rewarded with things like NB skills and super divine artifacts, wonder if I'll have such luck!
The pointer stopped at 8 o'clock, and a system prompt came: "Ding, the game officially starts, please create your character!"
A man identical to me appeared in front of me, no need to doubt, this is the future me in the game, the only difference is that I am dressed neatly and tidily, but this guy was only wearing a pair of shorts, really damaging the atmosphere!
"Name it!"
"One Sword to Transcend the Dust!"
"Ding! Sorry, this name is already taken!"
I: “......”
NND, I didn't expect such a tacky name would be taken, what a pity!
Alright, let's get a bit special, thinking of my name and the profession I've thought of, immediately with a strong and vigorous attitude, with energy concentrated in my dantian!
"The Unintentional Swordsman!"
"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully named it. You can now proceed with facial and body adjustments!"
"Don't adjust!"
"Are you having facial adjustments?"
"Don't adjust!"
What a joke! I want to rush into the game at the first time, see if I can be one of the top few people to enter the game, maybe I can even get some rewards! How could I waste my time on this kind of thing!
"Choose your profession!"
A row of options appeared below, and without hesitation, I directly chose Swordsman!
"Congratulations, your account has been created. Do you want to enter the game now?"
I immediately clicked in, and after a brief transition, I found myself standing in a dilapidated village.
The system immediately sent a prompt:
"Ding! Welcome to the game, you are located in Newbie Village No. 10086. As you are the 8888th player to enter the game, you will be rewarded with 200 experience points!"
This number is too damn auspicious, I'll take a screenshot to commemorate it!
I felt a warmth all over my body, a golden light flashed, and 200 experience points directly leveled me up!
But still a bit disappointed, such an auspicious number should have given a divine artifact or directly given a super hidden profession, but only gave 200 experience points, this Silver Moon Group is too stingy!
Check the package, there is only a rough wooden stick and a piece of tattered cloth, which makes me speechless!
Low-Quality Wooden Stick (Novice Equipment)
Attack: 0-1
Required level: 0
Tattered Cloth Armor (Novice Equipment)
Defense: +1
Required level: 0
Two pieces of equipment that are extremely awesome, so awesome that I couldn't find anything worse than them. Okay, let's equip them first and talk later! Then I took a look at my own attributes!
Player: Heartless Swordsman
Rank: 1st rank
Occupation: Novice
Blood pressure: 110
Magic: 55
Attack: 1-2
Speed: 1.1
Physical Defense: 2
Spell Defense: 1
Reputation: 0
Lucky: 0
"Hmm, this attribute is quite invincible too, and with equipment that only has 1-2 attack power, can this attribute even kill monsters?"
The answer is obviously yes, if a level 0 novice can't even cut down monsters, how are they supposed to level up?
Looked at his own body again, cloth clothes, cloth shoes, and cloth pants, plus a wooden stick. Except for the cloth clothes and wooden stick which had some added attributes, all other parts were attribute-less. Probably the system gave them to new players as a makeshift covering, after all, running around naked on the streets wasn't very elegant!
So I took the wooden stick and wore my cloth clothes, rushing out of the transmission point, starting my leveling journey! 8 o'clock in the evening...... This time makes people feel a bit depressed. Even if it's an office worker, they should get off work, have a good dinner, clean up their bowls and chopsticks, and wait to go online and play games. At this moment, it is indeed the peak period for going online! Turning around, I saw that the white light behind me began to flash continuously. This novice village is No. 10086 novice village, which means that this game has at least 10086 novice villages, and I am the 8888th player to enter the game. Calculating it this way, maybe I'm even the first player born in this novice village!
The first thing is to accept tasks and complete them, which is absolutely faster than killing monsters to level up. This is the most basic common sense!
The village isn't very big, with only a few NPCs in total. At the entrance of the village, two NPC soldiers are looking around, seemingly seeking help. I knew at once that these must be the NPCs who give out newbie quests, so I immediately went up to talk to them!
"Lately many of our brothers' clothes have been torn and need a lot of rabbit skin to repair, young warrior, are you willing to help us collect some rabbit skin back?"
"Ding! Do you accept the quest [Collect Rabbit Skins]?"
SB won't accept it!
He immediately clicked accept, and another system prompt came through:
"Ding! You have accepted the task [Collect Rabbit Skins]! (Task difficulty: A1)"
Task content: Help the guardian NPC soldier collect rabbit skins, the rabbit skins are on those rabbits outside the village, kill the rabbits and collect 10 rabbit skins from them!
I was taken aback for a moment, collecting rabbit skin? Are you saying I have to kill the rabbits and then skin them? The Silver Moon Group isn't that perverted, is it?
After handing over the task, that NPC soldier continued to look around, it seems that this task is not a unique task, as long as you are a player, you can receive it, and I must hurry up too!
As soon as I rushed out of the village, the rabbit refreshed on the outskirts of the village. As long as I hesitated for a moment, there would be a large number of players rushing up to grab the monster with me. At that time, it's not just ten, even one is difficult to get!
Newbie Village Bunny (Newbie Monster)
Level: 0
Blood Gas: 50
Attack: 0-1
Defense: 1
Great, attributes worse than mine!
Locked onto a rabbit, he quickly rushed up and swung his wooden stick at the rabbit's head. The ordinary monsters around the newbie village wouldn't attack on their own initiative, so new players could level up safely here. Of course, this only applied to ordinary monsters - it was hard to say whether BOSSes would attack on their own initiative!
