C3 Beginner Village
Beginner village.
This was a place that every online game would reach first. In the language of the game, it was the "Starting Ground"!
This was also the only human village on this Island of Courage. The name of this beginner village was very simple, it was called "Village of Courage."
In the story of "creation," this was after the collapse of the old world. A portion of humans who escaped the war crossed the ocean and came to this large island, established villages, and began to explore the wasteland.
They also met the monsters on the island, and from then on, humans and monsters began to fight for the sovereignty of the island.
At the same time, in order to restore the glory of the Legion of Light, this place became the training ground for the new generation of Bravehearts. From the time when he led the strongest legion of the Old World, "Skywing Knight Legion," "Hamil," began to train the new generation.
As for the new village that was currently located in the war-torn continent, "Victory Village." The two novice villages were almost the same, but the difference was that the NPCs' characters were different, but the missions and conversations they gave were the same. Everyone was born at a random location.
Players born in the "Victory Village" would have convenient transportation, and it was also easier to encounter high-level monsters or bosses to fight treasure ascendants. "Village of Courage" Although almost all of them were small monsters, and there were expensive teleportation costs to travel to the mainland or to choose a very dangerous underwater channel, it was more convenient to train and so on.
The first time he entered the Beginner Village, Hideya just stood there blankly, because this was the first time he felt something.
A gentle breeze blew across his face, the fresh scent of grass, the endless plain scenery.
He stretched out his hand to touch the wooden house, that feeling was deeply imprinted in his heart.
'Is this the feeling of a human! 'Ping Qiuyuan could not help but exclaim in admiration.
Perhaps these simple wooden buildings were considered third-rate buildings in the Stone Age to other players. However, to Ping Qiuyuan, who could transform from an NPC into a player, even if his experience was 99% real. It was a different level of experience for him.
However, no matter how touched he was, he still had to return to the real world when he saw the players walking around.
Ping Qiuyuan opened up his attributes and maintained the lowest five attributes. His soul was the lowest among all the players and monsters in the game.
Level: 1
HP: 15
MP: 15
Attack: 6 (Weapon)
Defense: 6 (Equipment)
Magic Attack: -1
Magic Defense: 0%
Skills: Great Slash (MP-15)
Combat Power Skill: None
He then opened his inventory and found nothing. There were a total of six equipment columns, and there was a short sword and a grey coarse cloth.
[Beginner Short Sword] (Blunt Mode)
Attack: 1
Damage: 2
Description: Can be used by all professions. Beginner weapons have extremely low attack power.
Remarks: Don't be an idiot and use this weapon to fight a leader. Even if you have blessings, it's useless.
[Coarse Cloth Cloth Armor]
Defense: 1
Description: All professions can use the most basic defensive equipment, the clothing of ordinary people.
Remarks: If you take off something that isn't bad, you won't become an abnormal monster if you wear it.
A 100% novice equipment is basically an equipment that can be thrown away as long as you hit any equipment. Actually, there isn't much difference whether you wear it or not!
After looking at his basic information and props, the Plain Autumn Plain began to wander around. After all, he did not know what the online game was going to do at the beginning. Moreover, he did not even know what the flat gold item in his hand was.
Fighting monsters to level up? What was that?
Although he was an NPC before, he was not an NPC in the Beginner Village, but an ordinary NPC in the Imperial City level village. He could be considered an advanced NPC.
NPCs also had their own points to give quests and trigger quests. The trading of items, forging appraisal, and so on were different. There were also some who were true passers-by NPCs. The conversations were always greetings and goodbyes. Some of them even had some guidance functions. Not paying attention to them would not affect the mission. To put it bluntly, they only knew how to walk around in the scenery, that's all. When the players were rushing, they would become an eyesore and become an extra NPC.
Ping Qiuyuan had been such a passerby NPC before. It had nothing to do with the players coming into contact with the quest. He did not have any skills to teach, nor did he have any experience in trading and forging. The only thing he knew was that he often saw a bunch of high-level players peddling on the side of the road. Some of them walked past him in groups of three to five, while others turned into white light and returned to the city.
In the next hour, he only saw the people in the village strolling around in the plains.
Although he didn't know why "Genesis" was set by the developers to be very difficult to level up, it had already been opened for a year. Most of the players were above level 5 or 60, and had long left the Novice Village and headed to the War-War Continent.
Currently, almost all of the players that appeared in the Novice Village were young players who just happened to be able to play and join. Of course, there were also veteran players who had cut off their accounts to retrain, as well as players who had been killed back to level 10.
There were very few players in the village, and there were less than 30 players who set up stalls by the roadside. The things that were sold were really cheap items for beginners, but the price was not cheap. They were definitely here to trick the newbies.
Players who set up stalls by the roadside sold expensive items and were very shrewd. Seeing Ping Qiuyuan, who was dressed in a beginner's outfit, walk over, ignored him and directly put up the sign: If you don't have money, don't disturb me.
What was money? I don't understand, and I don't know. No one could answer him, so he did not ask. The Hirai could only continue to stroll around.
Walking past the roadside stall, he arrived at the Equipment Store area.
Using the area to describe the Beginner Village's store area, he was really lying through his teeth. Only three shops could be considered as the area?
There were only three weapons stores, defensive equipment stores, and general stores, the rest were all civilian houses.
The players had gathered a lot of people, especially in front of the first grocery store. With the number of people in the Beginner Village, it could be said that there were a lot of people.
In fact, what they bought in the grocery store was just food, potions, magic scrolls, and other consumables. This was also the most important thing.
There was also a special notice posted in front of his shop. 'Currently in the village of courage,' Courage Rice Ball 'is selling at a special price! Only five gold coins!
Ping Qiuyuan was quite interested in the "Courage Rice Ball," because he already had the feeling of a human being, but he had never tasted it before. What did food feel like?
However, he still did not know where the gold coin that was called money could be obtained, so he could only shake his head and give up.
Although food could be tasted in the game and had a small amount of healing effects, most of it was used on the effect of speaking to the country or the world. Without food value, there was no way to speak.
This was also the design of the game. It was specially designed to prevent players from forgetting to eat after playing for too long. It would automatically trigger the players' desire to eat and make them feel hungry. It reminded the players that it was time to eat.
As for the "Courage Rice Ball," it could only be said that Ping Qiuyuan was lucky. He did not know what the ten gold coins in his pocket were for, so he did not buy it. There was no recovery effect, nor was there an increase in food value. It was simply a nominal item. Buying it would be a waste of five precious gold coins during the novice period.
Apart from the "Courage Rice Ball" in the novice village, the other villages also had their own special products. After buying the famous products of any two villages, they would trigger a special mission: [King of the Real Collection]
The name of the mission sounded very impressive, but those who completed the mission all greeted the game designers dozens of times.
The players who went all over the continent to collect famous items, whether it was the most remote town, the villages near the heavy fortress guarded by the Demon King's Army, or even the unknown villages that required a teleportation fee of 15,000 gold coins to reach, had died at least 20 times on average.
The quest to obtain items could only be hinted at, allowing the players to have everything in the world!
And after completing the quest, the hidden reward was...
A world map.
This also told all players that not all hidden quests could give them godly weapons, and sometimes they would just be played for fun.
There was no need to say much about the people who came up with the idea that all the villages and towns would give out useless and expensive products. It was still the only one who wanted to kill the players.
Because of the fact that the grocery store was crowded, the Pingqiu Plain walked to the weapon store and the equipment store first. Since they did not have money, there was not much difference no matter where they went.
"Hey! Ha!
The cheerful call from behind made Ping Qiuyuan, who was about to leave, turn around and go back.
The owner of the voice was a novice thief wearing novice clothes and a dagger in his hand.
Compared to the ordinary Pingqiu Yuan, the novice thief in front of him was quite handsome. He deliberately kept his long hair without a trace of a decadent aura. His movements and actions were filled with a proud and unyielding temperament, but his smile was quite amiable.
Everyone who had seen him had the same thought. He actually did not choose the royal family with the same noble temperament, but instead chose the thief who did not seem to fit in. It was really a pity.
The novice thief looked at his own Plain Field and took the initiative to say:
"Hello!
What can I do for you? Ping Qiuyuan replied politely.
'You should be a newbie who just started playing "Creating," right? Do you want to join my alliance?'
The novice thief pointed at the red sun badge on his left shoulder, showing "Burning Sun Alliance.
Although many players were already above level 50, even if they were not strong enough, they were still around level 40. However, in order to increase their military strength and newbies, there were still some level 40 and above players from the army recruiting in the villages. They were probably looking for newbies to become meat shields or cannon fodder that rushed out from the frontlines.
After all, they were newbies, and compared to the players who had trained for a year, they were newbies. It was more practical to be cannon fodder. In any case, under the strict level of training in this game, it would be more difficult for newbies to surpass the veterans than to fight top grade items.
"May I ask why you want me to join you?
"Because you are a newbie. If there are no allies or legions here to interact with each other, I think it will be very hard for a newbie who is completely unfamiliar with leveling up. So, should I join? 'It'll be good even if we chat while leveling up.'
I can do anything. Ping Qiu Yuan nodded.
'Ding!'
System Notification: Do you wish to join "Blazing Sun Alliance"?
Ping Qiuyuan pressed confirm without any consideration. A red Sun Badge immediately appeared on his shoulder as well as a row of continuous messages that included welcoming and joining.
After the trainee Thief confirmed that Ping Qiuyuan had joined, he said in satisfaction:
"Welcome! "Come with me to train and wait. There are already people waiting outside in the Goblin Grasslands.
Yes. The starting point of the peaceful autumn season followed.
Before following the handsome trainee thief out of the village, something that Ping Qiu Yuan was very curious about suddenly happened.
Because when following the trainee thief, any high-level player who passed by the trainee thief would point at them. There were even a few female players who said, "Isn't that Maple Leaf?" "Didn't he delete his account? Did he retrain?" "Maple Leaf is so handsome!" These words came and went, but they were all filled with surprise and praise.
This was very obvious. This trainee Thief was definitely not an ordinary player. However, Ping Qiu had originally said that the trainee Thief's name was' Night Song '. What did that have to do with Maple Leaf?
Although Pingqiu Yuan was very curious, he did not intend to ask about the Night Melody, because he should not ask about things that the other party did not or did not want to talk about because of his curiosity. It was meaningless to know or not.
The deleting of the 'Maple Leaf' account was something that happened a month before Pingqiu Yuan entered the "establishment.
At that time, there was a huge event that shook the entire game world. The Level 30 first transition Maple Leaf was known as the Assassin King, and the Magic Conducting Knight at Level 23 first transition was known as the Evil Woman. The two gambled on the condition that the loser would delete the account, and even now, it had been continuously reposted and watched by people to watch the exciting battle.
Of course, there was no need to say who would win or lose, but the evaluation of the two players rose. Moreover, compared to the female Magic Conducting Knight who had a hidden profession, the Assassin Maple Leaf who had just advanced to become an Assassin was worshipped by more people.
After leaving the village, he looked out and saw that the vast wilderness was filled with small green monsters with short swords in their hands and green helmets, Goblins.
However, what was very strange was that although the players in the novice village were not full, there were at least 50 players in the grocery store alone. However, there were only less than 20 players in the vast wilderness. Among them, only one Warrior was killing monsters and another Mage was throwing fireballs. The others were mostly picking up money or idling around.
In front of him, a man who was shaking his head and walking around appeared. At the same time, a monster's information appeared as well. After opening it, it appeared.
[Goblin] (Normal Monster)
Level: 3
Attack: 9
Defense: 5
HP: 50
Description: There are small and weak races scattered across every continent. Their short bodies and green skin are the most obvious signs. Their combat abilities are quite weak. Among their unique class, there are also some who are of the same class as them.
This is not a monster that has no experience or difficulty fighting. However, other than this group of players, there are no other newbies fighting. Is it because they are so weak that they don't even want to fight? This entire world's level 1 couldn't beat it. It was probably only the Pingqiu Plain, whose basic abilities were lower than it.
From afar, a small green monster with a wide sword in hand and a red helmet appeared. It seemed to be much stronger than Lin Fan.
[Goblin Leader] (Normal Monster)
Level: 8
Attack: 15
Defense: 12
HP: 150
Description: The leader of the Goblins. Compared to the average Goblins, the most obvious difference is that they have a red helmet on their heads. Because their armor and equipment are better than the average Goblins, their combat abilities are also slightly improved. As long as they see their own kind being attacked, they will automatically help them fight.
It can be considered an upgraded version of Goblins. In just a few seconds, the Mages in the team who were casting spells gave two Wind Blades. The leader of the Goblins also received a miserable cry and dropped a few gold coins.
The Warriors and Mages leading the team stopped attacking the moment they saw Night Melody. Then, they hurriedly led the newbies over.
"Boss! Boss, you're finally here! The warrior excitedly shouted at Ye Qu.
Compared to the Warrior's excitement over the Night Song, the Mage was indifferent. The newbies behind him did not say anything either.
"It's time to absorb experience. The mage spoke very bluntly.
"Yeah, what are you guys fighting? Ye Qu didn't mind asking.
"Boss, we're waiting for the new players to level up, and we're also fighting for the Goblin Set. Wait for the new players to go to the demon area, quickly form a team.
The Warrior immediately opened up the party system.
'Ding!'
System Notification: Do you wish to join the party of Hot Spring Eggs?
Ping Qiuyuan and Ye Qu's teams followed one after another. At the same time, the information of the other people in the team was also displayed. However, the information about the new players wasn't very important. They were all level 6 or 7 new players.
As the captain, the person who was very enthusiastic about Ye Qu was a level 42 Warrior called 'Hot Spring Egg'. The other person with an impatient expression was a level 49 Mage called 'Red Lotus Flame'.
'After killing him and training for so long, he only managed to reach level 1. I was wondering how powerful he was. '
Although Pingqiu Yuan could not sense it, his words seemed to be filled with the anger and annoyance that Fiery Red Lotus was feeling towards Ye Qu. However, Ye Qu did not pay any attention to it even though he felt it.
"Boss, we'll let you level up with this newbie first, and then see if you can get the Goblin Set! The Warrior very kindly nodded at Ping Qiu Yuan.
'I'll have to trouble you then.' Ping Qiu Yuan also nodded in response.
"No need to be so troublesome, just level up to level 5 first, I'll lead everyone to the Magical Merchant to buy equipment. The equipment there can be used up to Level 20, so there's no need to slowly equip the Goblin Set. ' Night Song instructed.
'Cuckcuckoo!' Then I'll have to ask Boss to lead the way!' For some reason, the hot spring egg seemed to be excited as long as there was a night song.
'Hmph.' The red lotus snorted in dissatisfaction.
The hot spring egg waved the longsword in its hand, preparing to start reawakening to the pile of dazed Goblins in front of it.
This was also the first time that Ping Qiu Yuan wanted to see how to increase experience points. However, what happened after that made Ping Qiuyuan end his first experience of teaming up in less than ten minutes.
The one that attacked even faster than the hot spring egg was a Fireball from Red Lotus. Her target wasn't the Goblins, but a team that had just entered Harano.
Without even a scream, three out of the five new players in the team were turned into white light by the fireball.
The only ones left were a male trainee swordsman wearing beginner level equipment and copper armor, as well as a female trainee mage wearing a silk robe.
When Ping Qiuyuan saw this situation, a very strange program immediately erupted from his consciousness.
It was not because Red Lotus' Fireball Technique could kill three people at once, but because it was his first time seeing a player kill a player.
The other teams were watching calmly, and a few of them seemed to be applauding for Fire Red Lotus' Fireball.
Ping Qiuyuan also looked at the night music that was asking him to join in. Other than the unhappy expression on Night Melody's face, she actually did not do anything.
'Why did you suddenly kill someone? ' The trainee swordsman of the opposing team shouted angrily.
"It's you guys who are blind. We have already announced that our Burning Sun Alliance is going to clear the area and wait here. You still dare to come in? You're asking for death! Fiery Red Lotus said in a tone that looked down on people.
How could it be like this? There are so many monsters here, and you're the only one who owns them. This is too much! The female trainee mage also said in dissatisfaction.
"If you're unhappy, come and attack me. My red name will drop equipment now!
Damn it! Don't think that you can be arrogant just because you're high up!
The other trainee swordsman immediately took out his long sword and planned to kill Red Lotus.
The hot spring egg also pointed its sword at the trainee swordsman.
Red Lotus, on the other hand, stretched out her ruby cane, indicating that she should not attack the hot spring egg.
"Let me do it, don't move!
Night Song remained silent, but her expression became more and more displeased.
Ping Qiuyuan, on the other hand, was thrown into chaos by the scene in front of him. Only the rookies who had been brought along to train were laughing in private.
"Come on, brainless ones! Red Lotus reached out her hand and provoked him.
Seeing the swordsman immediately rush towards Red Lotus, she didn't plan to give him the chance to cast a spell.
This idea wasn't wrong, but it was only limited to the players who weren't much stronger.
Because when the trainee swordsman arrived in front of Fire Red Lotus. The 3rd Tier Water Spell that had already been prepared, Ice Crystal, was immediately cast. The trainee swordsman's entire body was forcibly frozen.
Originally, the Ice Spell was a spell that depended on the probability of being cast, but the difference in level between the Fire Red Lotus and the trainee swordsman increased the probability to 100%.
He could neither resist nor counterattack. He could only wait for the next move of the Fire Red Lotus and chant a fatal attack.
"Lightning of Sanction!
A powerful lightning bolt descended.
A damage value of 257 appeared above the Swordsman's head. He instantly turned into a white light and returned to the city. The sword that he had just used also fell to the ground.
'Hmph! Trash! '
Red Lotus didn't even look at the longsword on the ground.
A few rookies at the side rushed over to snatch the sword. It would cost at least 20 gold coins to buy the sword in the store. If they could pick it up, they would pick it up.
The remaining female novice mage held the novice's magic staff with both hands, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
"There's still one left.
The fire lotus once again condensed flames in its hands.
'Stop attacking. Let him leave.' Ye Qu said.
Why? They were the ones who came here blind, why would they let them go! The Red Lotus seemed to be deliberately rebelling against the Night Melody's opinion.
'It's not like she can practice here anymore. What's the point of beating her up? Let her go! '
'I don't want it!' If you're unhappy, then quit the alliance! '
As soon as he finished speaking. The flame in his hand immediately transformed into a rocket and shot towards the female trainee standing on the spot.
The rocket flashed by. Just as Ye Qu was about to raise her hand to stop it, it was already too late.
However, the fire arrow didn't hit the trainee female mage.
In the nick of time, Ping Qiuyuan pushed the trainee female mage away with all his might, and the rocket also crossed the target.
'You. ' The trainee female mage looked at the trainee swordsman in front of her, who was at her level, and was holding her hands tightly.
'Something's not right. '
After Ping Qiuyuan got up, he raised the short sword in his hand and blocked in front of the trainee female mage. He said loudly to everyone.
'How can I do something that shouldn't be done. '
Actually, Ping Qiuyuan himself didn't know why he had such an inexplicable feeling, but his body had already reacted faster than he had thought.
Ping Qiuyuan's actions caused Red Lotus Fire to burn with rage. It was clearly her own alliance's people who dared to defy her and help outsiders. 100% of them were traitors.
"You son of a b * tch! Flames once again appeared in Red Lotus' angry hands.
"Boss, how did you receive such a person? The hot spring egg also prepared to raise its sword to kill Ping Qiuyuan.
Ye Qu didn't say anything and just watched the situation develop.
Helping the enemy in front of his own alliance was indeed a betrayal. It was a huge taboo for a team, so they would basically be directly killed.
'Hurry up and leave. ' Ping Qiuyuan pointed in the direction of the village to the trainee female mage, indicating for her to run.
'Thank you.' The trainee female mage nodded and immediately activated the scroll that suddenly appeared in her hand. She turned into a white light and teleported back to the village.
At the same time, a ray of white blade light appeared in front of Ping Qiu Yuan's eyes. The full 15 health points instantly disappeared.
The only thing in front of him was the intense white light and the pain of being electrocuted.
'This is pain? ' 'Is this death? '
'Aiya, aiya, this is really inauspicious. He didn't even train for a single level before dying.'
Mr. Ping scratched his head, as if he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
'But isn't it too easy to say that I'm going to die at this level? '
'But don't you think that someone like him really has a way to level up in a harsh game world?' Mia said.
'Human?' 'Hehe, even if you die a hundred times or a thousand times in the game, you won't really disappear. Even if you can't level up, it's not bad either. As long as his performance is interesting, it's enough.'
"Then what do you think of his performance of saving people like this?
'I'm so bored that I'm going to die.' However, the scene of him roaring on the ground was really awesome. I'll wait and watch the replay.
'That's enough of you.' Mia said helplessly.
