Chapter 279: The First Appearance of the Battle Mage and the Priest
"This game is so weird."
After being killed by a group of monsters, Xu Gu's face was twisted into a knot.
This TM is the little monster that was beaten to death by them as soon as it was refreshed?
He and his roommate just pulled one more monster to prepare for a group kill, but its health dropped rapidly and they were the ones who got killed.
"This is unscientific . Shouldn't it be like in other games, with monsters being killed in seconds?" My roommate also expressed his incomprehension.
Could it be that this is not a novice village but the boss' lair?
Are there bosses that look like monsters outside?
"Do you want to continue?" Consultant Xu.
"Yes! Why not? I don't believe I can't get out of this novice village today!" said the roommate without hesitation.
Xu Gu smiled when he heard that.
He seemed to understand his roommate's feelings a little.
At first glance, this game seems to have an unbalanced difficulty and the monsters are too strong.
But for some reason, even though I was beaten so badly by the monsters, I felt a feeling I had never experienced before.
Especially when he saw other teams being chased and screaming by a bunch of monsters like them, he laughed unkindly .
Yes.
This is what adventure feels like!
No one starts out as a hero.
They are all like them, growing up step by step from a small soldier.
Isn't this the essence of role-playing games?
"Okay! Keep going. We must get out of the Novice Village today!"
Xu Gu suddenly became heroic and prepared to make a comeback.
But the next second, he was stunned again.
Because he discovered that after death in this game, the player will turn into a soul and everything around them will turn gray.
If you want to resurrect, you have to control the soul and run from the cemetery to their corpses.
But the problem is that their bodies are now between two gnoll monsters, and there are wandering spider monsters all around...
"What should I do?"
The roommate asked, looking at the eerie woods.
Just now, when I was escaping, I was in such a panic that I ran deep into the desert. Now the leveling team hasn't arrived yet.
"Or, resurrect and run away immediately?" Xu Gu gritted his teeth.
"good."
Then.
The two men tiptoed and controlled their souls to pass through the pile of monsters and came to the corpses. Two tombstones standing on their corpses came into view, with words engraved on them.
【All four elements are empty】
【Eternal Immortality】
ah?
Good job.
After death, just erect a monument on the spot, right?
The two of them almost laughed out loud. It turned out that the evil taste of the ancient times was everywhere.
"I really admire this old man Hong Huang. What's the point of making this tombstone?"
Xu Gu laughed and scolded, not caring about this setting.
He and his roommate's soul came to the corpse, and when the opportunity arose, they were resurrected immediately. The originally gray and white picture suddenly turned into color.
"run!"
A loud shout.
The two of them ran and headed straight for the Novice Village.
When he turned around, his face turned green.
Because the two werewolf monsters wandering around their corpses also let out a strange laugh and chased after them.
"Damn it! Why is the aggro range of this little monster so large!"
"Wow, those spiders are coming again!"
The two were in a panic, trying desperately to escape from the forest.
However, because they were surrounded on all sides and their health was not full after they were resurrected, they both fell to the ground under the beating of monsters in a short while, and their souls were teleported to a nearby cemetery.
After staring at the gray and white picture in front of him for a moment, he continued to run towards the corpse.
"Damn it, come again!"
"I must defeat these monsters today!"
After repeating this several times, their efforts paid off and they finally managed to escape back to the main road outside the forest.
Looking back, they saw a row of tombstones with the words "All Four Elements Are Empty" and "Eternal Immortality" connected in a straight line. They finally understood what these tombstones were used for...
Damn it.
It's specifically used to mock them, right?
Just when the two of them went back to hand in the task, the large army finally spread out and began to experience the horror of those monsters.
A moment.
The entire regional channel exploded.
"What's going on? Did these monsters take aphrodisiacs?"
"Haha, this is ridiculous. We are a team of five and we are being chased by four monsters."
"After death, you have to run your corpse. Resurrection in the cemetery will make you weak for 10 minutes. This is outrageous!"
"Am I going to be so cool? Do I have to be so real?"
"This game is a little interesting, unlike other games that are just a straight-forward process."
In many games on the market today, the entire upgrade process is basically to follow the main line all the way, destroying this piece and that piece in seconds, and then moving to the next place to continue destroying, as if you are in a hurry to kill yourself.
Because only by reaching the maximum level quickly can their krypton gold projects achieve the greatest effect and induce players to recharge.
This also leads to a very poor sense of immersion in the leveling process.
The original fun of role-playing games is lost.
But this "World of Warcraft" gave them a warning from the very beginning, and they were defeated in seconds.
This novel adventurous experience seemed to open a whole new door for them.
Instead of complaining that it was too difficult, he enjoyed exploring everywhere and researching ways to kill monsters with his teammates.
"Brothers, do you think... the map of this game is a bit too big?"
Suddenly, a message popped up in a busy regional channel.
Players who were leveling up and completing quests opened the map out of curiosity, and noticed that after walking and stopping for more than half an hour, the character cursor on the map only moved a tiny bit.
What shocked them even more was.
The [Elwynn Forest] where he is now is just one of dozens of area maps.
Except for the area they walked through, everything was covered by something, and if you clicked on it, you could see the names of the maps.
"Oh my god! What is this? A world map?"
"What a huge world map!"
"Based on this ratio, wouldn't it take several hours to walk from the south to the northernmost point?"
"This is just the Eastern Kingdom. There is also a continent called Kalimdor across the sea..."
"A friend of mine said that the Horde seems to be in Kalimdor, and the Alliance is in the Eastern Kingdoms."
There are two continents facing each other across the sea, and dozens of areas as big as [Elwynn Forest], which really shocked the players.
You have to know that they walked in this forest for more than half an hour and only explored less than one twentieth of it.
How big should the entire world map be?
Is this really a game that has just been released to the public?
"It's incredible. Honghuang is going to use a big move this time."
In the dormitory, Xu Gu and others were also studying the world map.
When they saw the completely different terrain and features on their respective maps, they were all shocked.
It was not until this moment that they knew why the game was called "World of Warcraft".
Because this is truly a world!
"With such a large map, there should be teleportation later, right?"
The roommate smacked his lips and exclaimed in admiration.
Xu Gu and others also thought so, and immediately accelerated the task.
Finally, after more than an hour, we arrived at a place called Shanjin Town.
At this time, a large number of players like them have gathered in the town, and their levels are generally around level 3-5.
As soon as I walked in, I encountered a team calling for forming a team. It was very lively and it was obvious that everyone felt the difficulty of killing monsters.
However, the busiest place is still the tavern next door, where countless players come in and out and hand over tasks.
Or you can sit on a chair by the campfire and exchange strategies, with the pub tunes in your ears, creating a great atmosphere.
Xu Gu was surprised by the social attributes of this game.
Because in other games, no one is willing to stop and talk to a passerby on the road to upgrading.
But now this hotel is like a natural social place, gathering players from all over the country to chat and talk.
“I see, it’s the immersion!”
Suddenly, Xu Gu came to his senses.
“What makes this game different from other games is the sense of immersion! It makes us feel like we are on an adventure!”
From the beginning.
From the first CG released by Honghuang, to the promotional movie, and then to the later reveal of the game content.
None of it is in vain!
Because it is these bits and pieces of content that have painted a picture of a grand magical world for them in advance and aroused their curiosity.
When they actually enter the game, they will unknowingly become part of it and become one of the many adventurers.
"Wow! Come and see, I exploded a helmet!"
At this time, another scream was heard.
The roommate who played the Minotaur character got a helmet when he killed a monster. After putting it on, the entire Minotaur head was covered by an iron barrel-shaped helmet.
The horns stick out from both sides, looking quite domineering.
"Helmet? Where did you get it from?"
"I've fought so many monsters along the way, and I haven't even gathered all my equipment yet."
"Huh? After changing the equipment, the character's outfit will also change?"
"The equipment in this game also has a dressing effect?"
Xu Gu and others gathered in front of the roommate's computer, amazed.
They didn't notice it before because I was wearing the coarse white clothes given for the mission.
But now after my roommate reminded me of this, I realized that every time a piece of equipment is changed, the same part of the character's body will also change, just like fashion.
You have to know that this is just ordinary equipment!
Doesn't this mean that in the future when you have more equipment you can freely match them?
"Okay, okay, I will definitely get a set of cool armor when the time comes!"
The roommate looked at the broken wooden staff in his hand and suddenly felt motivated.
Xu Gu on the side was also secretly shocked.
There are so many ways to play this game that he has never seen before.
This made him more curious about the game.
soon.
He walked around the entire Shimmering Gold Town and took on all the tasks he could.
After talking to the innkeeper, I got an item called [Hearthstone], which can teleport directly to the inn bound to me anytime and anywhere, which is very convenient.
only.
But they didn't find anything about map transmission.
Instead, they received a mission to deliver a letter, asking them to deliver the letter to a place called Stormwind City.
"Stormwind City, isn't it the main city?"
"How about doing this task first?"
After some discussion, Xu and Gu decided to put aside other tasks for the time being and rush to the upper left corner of Elwynn Forest to deliver the letter.
On the way, I happened to meet a human mage player who was being chased by monsters.
His health was running low and he was in danger.
They rushed forward and helped the other side get rid of the monster.
"Thanks, brother."
A dialog box pops up above the mage's head.
"You're welcome. Are you also going to Stormwind City to deliver a letter?"
Xu Gu typed a line of words in response.
As he expected, the other party also received a letter-delivery mission and was preparing to go to Stormwind City.
As a result, he went astray on the road and accidentally attracted two small monsters on the roadside. He finally killed one of them with a kite, but its health was already low.
If they hadn't appeared.
I guess it will take a lot of time to run around.
"Since it's the same mission, why don't we do it together?" Xu Gu suggested.
Mage: "Okay, join me. I think you guys are just short of an output."
"Missing an output? What does that mean?" the roommate spoke up at this time.
"You don't know?" The mage asked in confusion, "The Paladin has a protective talent that is very tanky and can resist monsters in the front, but the output is not very good. The priest has a healing talent that can add blood to people, but the output is not very good either. How did you get here..."
His meaning is clear.
How did you two make it here alive with this weird team configuration?
However, Xu and Gu did not pay attention to these, but were attracted by his words.
Guardian talent?
Healing talent?
Aren’t they all output professions?
"Try pressing the N key," said the wizard.
He is obviously a high-level player and is very familiar with the game content.
Xu Gu followed his prompt and opened the N key, and sure enough, a talent tree page popped up.
[Holy] Holy Paladins focus on healing and supporting teammates. They can use holy magic to heal teammates and provide assistance and protection effects.
[Punishment] Punishment Paladins are the output experts in the Paladin profession, good at using weapons and magic to cause damage. They can use powerful attack skills to defeat the enemy, and have some control and damage reduction skills.
[Protection] Protection Paladins are tank experts who are responsible for attracting the enemy's attention and protecting teammates from harm. They have high durability, damage reduction and control skills, and can withstand enemy attacks.
"Fuck! Can you really fight monsters and heal people?"
