[Faced with the looks cast by the three people, you did not choose to respond to any of them’s expectations. 】
[You tell the three of them that you are new here and you don’t understand everything here and can’t make a decision. 】
["Bang!" The wine bottle in the strong man's hand exploded on the ground. Your answer seemed to anger the three of them! 】
"What? Boy, do you still look down on us ordinary vampires and want to work as lackeys for those so-called upper-class vampires?" The strong man looked at you and sneered. 】
Upper class vampire?
Sure enough, there are more vampire clans than the three in front of you, and it is even more impossible for Mu You to decide where to go casually.
However, after he made his choice, the direction of the game at this moment was a bit dangerous.
[Seeing that you haven't spoken for a while, the strong man jumped down from the wooden box, moved his neck and hand bones, and walked toward you fiercely: "I'm just a newly born kid, don't get too carried away with me!"]
["You have to know that a kid like you with no identity or background will die in this city every year."]
["You only have one minute. You must choose one of the three of us. Otherwise, I don't mind letting another little devil's body appear in this city."]
[The strong man stared at you coldly, and the two women behind him also shut up and stood there, showing no intention of speaking for you. 】
[One minute passes quickly, you choose...]
[Blood Rose], [Shapeshifter], [Deathrattler].
Mu You frowned, is it really necessary to choose one here, otherwise you will die?
From the logic of the game, this really doesn't make sense. The purpose of a god creating a server is to allow players to fully experience the abilities and characteristics of the god's followers. There is no reason to block the player's path from the beginning.
On the other hand, it was also because of the pocket watch that Mu You dared to make some bold attempts with peace of mind.
["One minute's up!" The strong man walked up to you with fists as big as sandbags: "Boy, it seems that you really want to die, so I can only help you!"]
[After saying that, the strong man's fist suddenly hit you. You just felt that this punch seemed to carry a huge force. Everything in front of it would be shattered under this fist...]
["Whoops!" Just when the fist was about to fall on you, a sound broke through the air from the side. One of the strong man's temples suddenly bloomed, and the whole person flew out with a splash of blood, rolling on the ground for ten times. rice, and finally stopped after knocking over a pile of wooden barrels. 】
[You turn around and look in the other direction. A burly man with a mask on his face and dressed in black appears on the edge of the rooftop at some point, throwing a few stones up and down in his hand. 】
["Boom!" The giant bear-like strong man quickly jumped out of the ruins and cursed at the man who had just appeared in the distance: "Damn it Beverly, do you need to be so heavy to act?"]
[While speaking, a stone fell to the ground. You noticed that the nearly headshot wound on the strong man's temple was returning to its original shape at a speed visible to the naked eye. 】
[The masked man ignored the strong man, but looked at you: "Courage test, passed. Your bravery has won you a chance to meet the regent."]
["It's rare to see a newcomer who can remain calm even when my fist covers his face. This kid is quite interesting. No wonder he was summoned by the regent..." The strong man came over cursing and wiped off the blood on his face. , when he walked to you, he grinned at you: "You saw it too, it's all a test, but don't bear grudges against me. Again, if you are interested, you can come to my shapeshifter clan at any time."]
["However, don't think that you can sit back and relax after catching up with the Regent. The novice protection period is only tonight."]
["Also, let me give you a piece of advice. In vampire society, the higher the upper class, the less freedom there is. If you don't want to become a puppet, don't join the upper class." The strong man said something meaningful at the end, and then joined the two men. Two women jumped off the rooftop one after another and disappeared into the night. 】
Testing...
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. This test was really hard-core. He insisted on acting it out until the last moment. If he didn't have a pocket watch to hide the secret, he would probably have fallen into the trap.
And if he gives in in advance, the masked man behind him will probably not appear, and he will have to join one of the three clans and start the game at a disadvantage.
Of course, now he is just getting an extra opportunity for himself, whether it is good or bad is hard to say.
["Follow me!" the masked man said briefly and concisely, then turned around and jumped up, landing on the roof of another building in the distance like a bat, then climbed over the wall and walked further away. Do you want to follow? 】
Mu You first clicked on the entry for 'Mask Man'.
[Beverley: A fourth-generation vampire, belonging to the 'Judge' clan, responsible for supervising the execution of the iron laws of escape, and judging and eliminating vampires who violate the regent's decree. 】
Mu You originally thought about trying to escape directly and start free mode, but when he saw this text, he decisively gave up the idea. The algebra difference was too big. Now he is almost like an ant in front of this person. Here is still You have to follow me obediently.
[You follow the masked man and parkour all the way over the city, finally stopping in front of a commercial building. 】
[You follow the masked man into the building door and enter the elevator. The human security guards along the way turn a blind eye to you. 】
[In a luxurious box on the top floor, you met the city’s vampire leader, Regent Mortaza Yukik. 】
[The so-called regent is a middle-aged man in a suit and tie. He is handsome in appearance and elegant in manner. He stands in front of the window sill and looks at the night scene with a glass of red wine in his hand. Just looking at his appearance, he looks like a successful business tycoon in the city. He is completely unable to Associated with vampires. 】
Seeing the regent, Mu You first checked the other party's information.
[Mortaza: The third generation vampire...]
Mu You was stunned, the regent was only three generations old?
["Hello, newborn! This city has not had new blood for too long. Your appearance is the best news I heard tonight." The regent welcomed you with a smile, and his behavior made you feel like spring breeze. , did not feel any discomfort. 】
"As a meeting gift, I have prepared an apartment for you and some emergency cash." After the Prince Regent finished speaking, the masked man behind him handed you a bunch of keys and an envelope containing a stack of cash. 】
Mu You tried it and found that the keys and cash here could not be withdrawn. This was the same as the Tower of Brave. The props obtained in the tower were virtual items that could only be used in the scene and did not actually exist.
[You know very well that pie in the sky does not fall. Instead of accepting the gift directly, you asked the regent, what is the price for accepting these things? 】
["It's easy to talk to smart people." The Prince Regent glanced at you with admiration: "Actually, I planned to directly drag you into the royal family, but unfortunately the people below did not agree, so you can only help me with a task first. Come and prove your ability and stop other people’s mouths.”]
"You still have to do the mission..."
Mu You sighed. In fact, he would rather not be restricted by any process and go out to explore the scene freely. Unfortunately, it is not that easy. Nowadays, others are soft-spoken and dependent on others, so they can only do what others want first. But the advantage is that safety is guaranteed. He won't die suddenly.
["Since our birth, our vampire clan has always followed the ancient treaty of escaping from the world. This is the basis for our long-term existence in this city. However, now, someone wants to destroy our clan's iron law."]
[The Prince Regent said, taking out a video tape from the drawer and putting it into the instrument. An image was immediately projected on a curtain next to the wall. 】
[You briefly watched it for a few seconds and discovered that the video was a movie about vampires. 】
["This is a new film that has been widely circulated on the urban black market recently. Most ordinary humans think that the vampires in the film are just special effects, but we vampires can tell at a glance that the thing in this film is the real thing!"]
["Obviously, some vampires with bad minds are using the safety of our race as a means of making money." The Regent looked at you: "Your first task is very simple, find the producer of this movie and report to me , of course, if you can deal with these ignorant rats by your own ability, I don’t mind either.”]
["If you can complete this task beautifully, I will not only give you the opportunity to join the royal family, but also give you a drop of 'unsourced hard work'."]
[Passive Heart Blood: Refers to the heart blood that has been preserved by special methods after the vampire who left the heart blood has died. Other high-generation vampires can reduce their generation normally after taking it, but they will not be blood-bound. 】
"Is there such a thing?"
Mu You's eyes lit up. Let me tell you earlier, he is not interested in the chance of joining the royal family at all. There is no essential difference between joining the royal family and the three clans before joining. They are all used as cannon fodder. This kind of thing without side effects is what he needs.
[After accepting the task assigned by the regent, you left the building and returned to the night-shrouded streets. Are you ready to go...]
After leaving the building, his character was finally free from the control of others. Of course, with the elusive ability of the vampires here, Mu You estimated that there should be many people spying on him now.
Mu You was not in a hurry to complete the task, but first followed the location indicated on the key to check out the house assigned to him by the regent.
[You arrived at Lishui Apartment Building 3 and found your room No. 204 on the second floor. 】
[Open the door, and what is in front of you is a house of only more than ten square meters. Except for a bed and a computer desk, the room is empty. 】
[Close the door and turn on the computer. After booting, the desktop function is simpler than your room. There is only a software called 'Vampire Encyclopedia' and a button for sending and receiving emails. 】
Mu You didn't expect the computer in the game to actually be able to access the Internet, so he first clicked on the 'Vampire Encyclopedia' and looked at it.
[The vampires in the City of Enoch are divided into nine clans from top to bottom:
A vampire royal family known for their ability to dominate, rule, and lead...
A clan of judges whose bounden duty is to supervise, judge, and enforce the law...
The Midas Hand clan is known for its business, eloquence, and trading abilities...
The Blood Rose clan specializes in deception, confusion, and performance...
The shapeshifter clan specializes in transformation, fighting, and rage...
The Deathspeaker clan specializes in perception, prophecy, and research on the undead...]
This so-called 'encyclopedia' provides a detailed introduction to the nine clans' profiles and clan abilities.
Among them, the first three clans belong to the aristocrats among vampires. It can also be seen from their identities that the royal family responsible for leadership, the judges responsible for law enforcement, and the golden touch responsible for the economy are equivalent to bringing together power, guns and economic lifeline at the same time. Together.
The three middle types, the three vampires he met before, are the ruled civilian clans.
In addition, there are three unpopular clans, namely the 'Wanderer Clan', the 'Deformed Clan' and the 'Reformer Clan'. Their situation can be roughly understood from their names.
To put it bluntly, wanderers are individual vampires who do not want to join an organization and just want to live their own lives alone or with a small family.
The deformed clan is even more miserable. Since many vampires are inbreeding, the probability of deformed offspring is greatly increased.
Those deformed fetuses that are born with different looks than ordinary people will be abandoned when they are young and become a deformed clan. Since they cannot be exposed to others, they can only hide in the dark sewers for a long time.
As for the 'changers', they refer to those vampires who are dissatisfied with the current vampire social structure and want to join forces to overthrow the royal family's rule and advocate that all vampires are born equal. These people are naturally a thorn in the flesh of the three noble clans, but due to their large number, It has already formed a large scale, and the three noble clans have no good way to eradicate them for the time being, so they can only admit their existence.
After reading this so-called encyclopedia, Mu You has a basic understanding of the current situation.
Then he opened the mailbox and took a look.
[You open your mailbox software and find that four unread emails are flickering in your inbox. 】
Mu You checked it in turn. Three of the emails were invitations, one from the Blood Rose, the Shapeshifter, and the Deathrattler. They informed them of their headquarters. If he wanted to join these three forces in the future, he could go there at any time. .
There was nothing surprising about these three emails. What surprised him was the last one.
The last email was signed anonymously and contained only one sentence.
["How was your experience? Captain Ghost."]
"?"
Mu You was shocked.
In this completely independent dungeon scene, someone actually called out his game ID?
["Who are you?" you replied. 】
["Obviously, the administrator of this server is also the designer of this city." The other party's reply quickly popped up. 】
The other party's answer was not beyond Mu You's expectations. The only person who could identify his identity here could only be the administrator behind it.
Thinking of this, Mu You subconsciously wanted to sink his consciousness into the line of cause and effect to find out which administrator was causing trouble.
Theoretically, all administrators will have a causal line connected to Chuangjie Mountain.
["I guess you want to find me, but don't bother. I am a 'ghost administrator' with a higher level of authority than your ordinary administrators. Only I can see you, but you can't see me." ." The reply popped up again. 】
Mu You frowned. From this man's tone, it seemed that he had become an administrator a long time ago.
["How is it? How is the experience of the scene I designed? Did it make you immersed in it?"]
The other person was still asking and seemed to care about his evaluation.
Mu You did not answer the other party's question, but asked about business.
["What are the conditions for clearance here?"]
Since entering this server, there has never been any prompt about specific clearance conditions. Mu You still doesn't know how to pass the level.
【"good question!"】
["There are three ways to clear the level!"]
["First, survive in this city for more than half a year."]
["Second, become the pinnacle of vampires in this city."]
["Third...find me!"]
Mu You was stunned.
He could understand the first two. The ancestor of the blood clan happened to stay here for half a year before leaving, and he should have used the first method to clear the level.
It's just that Mu You can't use this condition. He doesn't have so much time to waste here. He can only take the last two.
The second article is also easy to understand. Kill all the way, continuously reduce the number of generations, and improve your strength until you become the vampire king of this city. This road is the simplest and roughest, but also the most dangerous.
And this third item...
["Found you? Are you also in the game?"]
["Of course, my favorite thing is role-playing! For every player who comes to challenge, I will play a fixed role in the scene. As for who it is this time? It's up to you to guess! In short, you just need to Remember, anyone you meet in this city, whether they are men or women, old people or children, mortals or vampires, anyone, may be me pretending to be you?"]
["No matter when, no matter what the situation is, as long as you can find the character I play in the game, I will unconditionally count you through the game and give you the highest level of game reward!"]
["So, Captain Ghost, are you interested in playing a game of hide and seek?"]
