Chapter 3 ：The Difficult Battle

Can you call this a village in the middle of nowhere? Several dilapidated houses stand alone, there are a few NPC characters standing on the roadside, and the trees outside the village are yellow and wild animals are spotted, which is a desolate scene. I didn't bother to look at my surroundings, but just thought about the form the angel had handed me.

If it is really a dream, then the fabricator of this dream is too strong, I am confident that I can not make up, let alone create such a real game scene.

I looked up at the current time in the upper right corner of the sky: 16:51 on July 4, 2054.

I tried to find a rational explanation for the situation, but I couldn't. I really couldn't. No matter how the mind works, it will eventually be interrupted by the sentence on the form: "25 years old, vegetative due to nerve damage." Isn't that the most accurate explanation of my present situation?

But how is that possible? Isn't it true that game companies have always guaranteed the physical and mental health and safety of their players? In order to persuade the majority of parents to agree with their children to play online virtual games, there were even game company bosses who made their newborn children wear virtual helmets. Hundreds of millions of people play online games every year, so why should this happen to me? No way! No way!

Silas? It's Silas. He's the one who did this, right? He gave me a hallucination in my head with the helmet. Silas, you have the power to fight me, I don't use the Holy Spirit suit, let's have a fair fight, this is not the way!

Hallucinations? No, stop fooling yourself. Could the hallucinations last this long? I spent so much time in the dark...

Two hours later, I gradually regained some sanity and accepted the possibility that in the last game, I had been "sealed" in my mind by an intelligent computer using the only weapon it could control in the real world: the game helmet.

Now, 30 years later, for some reason the seal has broken, freeing me. According to the situation where I quit the game and still enter the darkness, now my consciousness cannot control my body at all, and now I am still a medical vegetable.

Now that I've been diagnosed as a vegetative state, barring a miracle, there's no way I can recover. So, from now on, I can only live in the game forever...

When I believed all this, in addition to the fear of the present situation, I grieved for the death of my parents, and mourned for my own life.

From childhood to adulthood, IQ is far better than my peers, how high expectations my parents placed on ah, I have been their pride. Even though the family conditions were not good, my parents still let me go to the best university. However, I fell in love with online games in college, did not continue to take the postgraduate entrance exam, worked everywhere, and finally chose the most ideal career in my mind: "online game professional players". My parents were devastated by this, and I was indifferent. All I wanted was to earn money and prove to them that I had made the right choice.

However, I not only failed to repay my parents for their upbringing, but let them suffer so much pain, it was I who dragged them down...

Everything was gone: family, possessions, health, friends, hopes and ideals. Now I am a ghost, I have nothing but games.

Hands clenched into fists, although it is in the game, the eyes still seem to be darkness. Sadness, loneliness, guilt, despair of all kinds of emotions blocked in the chest, my brain has been unable to afford any thinking, the whole like a strong black gas corrosion general, can no longer let these negative emotions spread! I frantically pounced on the wild dogs and cats not far away...

I don't know how many times it was resurrected, but each time after the birth point, I did not think at all and rushed to the little monsters around me again. In this way, I die again and again, and I feel pain that I have not experienced for 30 years.

Although my five senses are the lowest one, but obviously this game helmet is very advanced, so my pain sense is basically 20% of reality. Maybe other players will adjust the pain to 5% or less, but I will never adjust, I almost perverted enjoy this pain, because it makes me feel that I still exist in the world.

In my constant suicide attacks, two small wild dogs were actually ground to death by me, although the four points of experience were immediately deducted for death. At the same time, the system reminds me that because the number of deaths exceeds 50 times, the maximum HP10% of the player is deducted, and the physique is 5%. This twice in a row, my original low HP dropped by two points. And I, on the contrary, look up to the sky and laugh, loudly cry out.

Sadness finally vent half, loneliness also reduced some, I found a little bit of the former professional player calm. I am a unique genius in heaven and earth, how can I ruin everything like those drunks in the movies? People should cherish what they have, instead of deploring what they have lost.

Now I have lost everything, but I still have the game world, my favorite game world ah! Unable to return to reality, I have to prove my worth in the game!

I forced the chaotic emotions into my heart. Although my heart was still in pain, my sanity had gradually recovered and I was slowly looking at the help menu of the game.

After an hour or so, I had a good grasp of the game's general setting and understood how it was different from the games I'd played before.

My village, called The Lost Village, is located in the northwest corner of the continent and is one of 50 villages assigned to the poorest players. But these classes of people are almost impossible to play games, after all, gaming equipment is relatively expensive. Even if someone gives away the equipment, the electricity and Internet usage cost of the game is not something that poor players are willing to pay. So far, I have been the only player in this village.

But who the hell let me into this game?

Look at their own body a garbage attribute, and look at the package in the only attack 1 point of the wooden sword and 1 point of the cloth, to expect them to upgrade, I am afraid it is a little difficult, just with the results of the cat and dog battle has proved this. Let's ask the NPC if they got me anything.

It's game practice to talk to the village chief first.

The white-bearded village chief told me that because the village was too poor, there were no soldiers to guard it, no NPC members such as blacksmiths and carpenters, only one vendor who served as a grocer and a medicine dealer, and two families with a total of five people.

I asked the village chief if there were any new tasks, and the village chief said that I needed to be level 3 before I could take the first task.

Then find the vendor, where only the cheapest low-grade blood medicine to sell, each add 20 points of blood, to 10 copper coins, but I only have 5 copper coins, poor people really bitter ah.

Ask other NPCS again, they are very cold, basically no language, maybe because I was judged by the system as a very ordinary charm value of 5, affecting the NPC's favorability.

However, according to my testing, the NPCS in this game are very intelligent, they can understand very complex sentences, and will not only answer me with their stored information, but also make judgments based on my questions and give me some additional suggestions. In any case, in these artificial intelligence, I found some sense of being back in society, and the sense of loneliness was less intense.

Looking at the realistic scene around me, every stone and every blade of grass I could use, unlike those previous games where the background could only be seen but not moved, I decided to take advantage of this to design a good combat method.

He took a branch from a dead tree, fashioned it into a stick, picked up an angular stone, and sharpened the wood into a spear shaped weapon. The system did not disappoint me, and after calculation, it issued a prompt: "Since the player Chris's creativity is 10, he successfully made a wooden spear." With no 'carpentry' skill and no 'long weapon crafting method', the spear has no bonus and does 1 damage."

Although the wooden spear and my wooden sword attack the same, but it can stop the monsters on the outside, not easily hurt itself, much more advantageous than the wooden sword.

Looking at the wild cats and dogs not far away, I felt a little scared when I thought of being clutched by them on my body just now. They're fast, they're small targets, and they're really hard to deal with with my agility.

I'm a little annoyed at the thought of being bullied like this by the lowest of these little monsters, even if I was born with every attribute set to 3, it would be easy to deal with them.

Think about this I'm afraid it is karma, when I was in other virtual games, a birth of the attributes are the highest level, around those poor physical novice players did not less to me to scold unfair, at that time I did not care about them ah. Now it's my turn to experience what it's like to be out of balance.

But now is not the time to lament the past, I looked around and finally found an ideal object in a little distance: a goat.

The goat's agility was higher than mine, but the aim was larger, and I quickly worked out a method of battle. First, I stabbed the goat with a wooden spear, and the goat immediately bent down and charged at me. I immediately pushed the spear against it, and when it relaxed and retreated, I attacked it again. This method is good, but my attack is too weak, even if I stabbed the goat's head, throat, abdomen and other vital points, it can only hit it 1 point of blood, it took more than a minute to kill a goat. Not bad, belongs to the leapfrog kill monster, got 10 experience, but to go up one level requires 100 experience.

Keep looking for goats, which are often surrounded by monsters that will actively attack the player. So I picked up some rocks from the ground and threw them at the goat.

God, although I was a 100% shooter in other games, but now due to natural low agility, the hit rate is very poor, accidentally injured two wildcats, they rushed up to hang once. But practice makes perfect, slowly calibrating their errors, the number of times hit the goat is still more and more. Half an hour later, after deducting the experience of death, I finally reached level 2.

The system notes, "Since Chris is a 'special growth' player, the number of points awarded for each level is variable, depending on the player's level performance. Chris gains Strength 1, Agility 1, Spirit 1, and HP+2."

I checked the help file and learned that the average player in this game has the opportunity to increase 1-3 points per level of strength, physique, agility, and spirit, and occasionally a certain attribute can reach 4 or 5 points.

Lucky players can have 12 points per level or even higher, the worst is 4 points, and I this "special growth type" name is good, but only get 3 attributes, it is slower than ordinary people.

Think calmly, the system says "according to the player's performance", maybe it is not enough effort to pay, after all, the difficulty of killing goats is relatively low.

I don't forget to make money while fighting monsters. I cut up the goat carcass as usual to get the meat. The vendor bought it at the price of one copper coin each, and I managed to earn a dozen copper coins to buy two bottles of blood medicine.

With the blood drug base, you can properly challenge higher difficulty. I held a wooden spear and a wooden sword in both hands, first attracting the wild dogs with stones, and then sweeping or stabbing with the wooden spear. When the wild dog flashed past the wooden spear, I used the spear body to block and fight back with the wooden sword.

By the time I got to the sixth dingo, I had to take two blood pills. The wild dog had nothing to sell, so he had to kill some goats and sell the mutton to buy blood.

Hard, too hard! Finally, with my skillful movement, the wild dog again difficult to hurt the vital point, I lost less and less blood. When I reach 3 levels, the system gives me bonus points: Strength 1, Fitness 1, Agility 2, Spirit 2, for a total of 6 points.

Well, I've finally made it through the worst of it, and now I'm good enough to handle wild cats and dogs. But I'd like to try and make it a little harder.

Think of the village chief said that level 3 has a task, hurry to find him. Unexpectedly, the task was "kill 10 wild wolves".

This is not my level can accomplish, my 13 points of health, the Wolf can kill me in two strokes, and my current attack power can break the Wolf's defense is still a question.

Not discouraged, for the reward of level 3 tasks, but also for the rich experience of killing monsters, I decided to find a way again.

Soon, I thought of the hunter's skill "trap" in previous games. Although I don't have this skill right now, the game is so immersive that it should allow players to use the terrain to kill monsters.

Looking for tools around, just to see the villagers A family in farming, hurriedly go up to chat up, and finally rent a hoe with 2 copper coins (attack power 0).

It took two hours to dig a pit more than 1 meter deep, with sharp thorns cut from wood at the bottom, and spread straw MATS collected from broken houses on the deep pit, covered with soil. The system prompts: "You made the trap successfully, because there is no trap skill bonus, the trap itself damage is 1, trapping ability is 1."

I can't believe this system is so intelligent, such a primitive pit can be recognized as a trap. So I started luring wolves with rocks.

The first Wolf fell into the trap, but immediately jumped out and killed me in two. I don't even bother to be depressed, but now belongs to the novice protection period, death loss experience is not much. When I come back, I make the pit half a meter deeper, and the system tells me that this trap's ability to trap animals is now 2. If it doesn't work, I'll have to give up on this plan, and if I dig any further, I'll go crazy.

Another Wolf came over, fortunately, this time the wild Wolf could not jump out. I moved the stone to throw it into the pit, smashing it alive (the stone itself has a small damage force, the hidden attribute of this large stone without a synthesizer is damage 0.5), and then the stone laboring out, tired ah.

Relying on my previous experience and skills in the hunter profession, an hour later, another 9 wild wolves were led into the trap and killed by me, and the corpses were cut to get 10 Wolf skins.

Back to the village to hand over the task, the village chief gave me a copper sword, attack plus 3. I am even more pleased that I finally have a sharp tool, and it is much easier to make tools in the future.

The equipment in the game is graded as: wood - stone - bronze - iron - silver - gold - platinum - Treasure - Jade - Star - Moon - Sun - Holy - God - Earth - heaven level. But now I've got a little brass to fight for.

Holding a copper sword, sell nine Wolf skins to buy medicine, and nail another one to a board, the system prompts: "You make a successful skin shield, because there is no 'cobbler' skill, the shield has no bonus attributes, and the defense force is 1." It seems that my high IQ-determined creativity 10 works really well.

With a new weapon and shield, confidence doubled, no longer disdain to use the garbage trap, with a few blood drugs, began to fight the Wolf head on. Until you run out of blood medicine, finally kill three wolves, rise to level 4, get strength 3, physique 1, agility 2, spirit 1, a total of 7 points. Fought hard for a long time, but also unexpectedly gained 1 explosive power. Now My attributes are: Life 17MP1 Strength 6 Physique 3 Agility 6 Psychic Power 5 Five senses Sensitivity 1 Physiological cost 1 Explosive Power 2.

At this time, the system announcement: Congratulations to the player "demon King" the first to reach level 20, award reputation 500!

Player "Demon King" wins the game's first piece of silverware with a bonus prestige of 300!

The highest level is 20, and the equipment is only out of silver, it seems that this game is not long to open, I smiled. As a professional player, I have always been very concerned about my position in the game, if this game has been open for a few years, then I really have no interest in playing, of course, there is no choice now.

However, there are hunger and fatigue in the game set, can play for so long, I did not have a hint of feeling sleepy and hungry, is this the advantages of vegetative people? I couldn't help laughing at myself.

Suddenly, hope filled my heart. Since their real body determines their attributes in the game, then their attributes rise in the game,
