"At least 30 credits are spent every day for free. Umbrella is becoming more and more inappropriate."
"Really wealthy."
"Although the transactions inside are also credits, you can do everything by yourself. It doesn't mean that you can't play without paying."
"I've been studying the lessons of those mage seedlings every day recently. Not to mention, it's really difficult. Hey, I would have been fine when I was in my senior year of high school. Now I really can't calm down."
"Me too, but with the motivation of using magic to push forward, I can still hold on."
"..." With the gradual release of Peng Lai's settlement quota, some real-life impacts of "Abyss World" itself have also appeared!
Nowadays, the silver tide is rising, and the purchasing power of credit points is getting stronger and stronger. 30 credits are given out for free every day, which is more than what many people earn after a hard day’s work!
In fact, many people who watched it were quite jealous and looked forward to the popularity of this game. And when most people don't have a quota, there will always be a few special lucky ones...
"As a lucky person who won the spot as a tester, grabbed the right to buy a robot, and got a spot in the closed beta test of "Abyss World", I feel that I have reached the peak of my life. Unfortunately, the robot was originally paid for by the manufacturer, so I must It must be at least three years old, otherwise I already want the robot to come back to serve the family." Shen Shi posted a screenshot of his three quotas, while lying on the bed, pretending to be indifferent and sighing as he had no pursuit. While taking video.
Then he spoke again
"Okay, without further ado, I have to go play the game. Recently, Principal Qin and Big Pineapple teamed up to create an Abyss Mineral Company. I have to take my first sip of soup during the closed beta." After finishing speaking, he started talking in various places. Amid the barrage of envy and hatred, he had already logged into the game.
Many people left speechless messages.
"One person can take advantage of everything."
"Take a breath of European air."
"Does he want to apply for a job at Abyss Mineral Company?"
"That's right. The boss of 'Abyss Mineral Company' advertises every day. Not only did he drag Mr. Qin into the water, but he also roped in Big Pineapple. Not to mention, I still think this is what he said after looking at his theories. mean."
"Something doesn't feel right. Why do I still have to work while playing games?"
"It's a lot of money, and the game is interesting. In the game, you can actually make money while having fun. In reality, it's forced by life, and the labor in the game will not harm the body, and it is a high-quality deep sleep."
"That makes sense, but I still prefer fighting monsters."
"No, the authenticity and difficulty of this game are really high. Anyone who tries to defeat monsters currently loses blood. The death penalty in this game is so heavy."
"I remember Big Pineapple said a long time ago that it is best to use firearms. Damn it! Sure enough, we are going against the 'Abyss Mineral Company'!"
"Yes, NPC weapons are too expensive and the quantity is limited. It is a complete sandbox mode. If you buy too much, the price will increase. Therefore, the Abyss Mineral Company must increase its production capacity to keep the price down. New players You can also make your first pot of gold through this.”
"Games make money, games spend money, I want to take them home..."
"..." Along with some teasing, Shen Shi also entered the game and followed the road to Novice Village back to the lobby of Silver Fortress. He saw Okita Yurei in the corner who was recruiting the first batch of team members.
At this time, he was still standing there shouting about some of the company's benefits and benefits.
"... Brothers who have entered the closed beta test, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Those who join now are all veterans, and they can start learning crafts at the earliest. I have successfully obtained a complete set of handmade equipment building blueprints, and The most basic machine tool drawings, as long as our craftsmanship is improved, we don’t have to worry about facing a large number of new players even if we open internal beta or even open beta later. If we have the craftsmanship and skills, we don’t have to worry about being eliminated..." Qin Xiang said this again. The local tycoon, and a big game anchor like Jiang Bo settled in. With enough publicity and exposure, Okita Yurei kept shouting in the hall of his birthplace.
At least for players who want to take this route of life and career, their first thought will be here. In fact, Shen Shi came here just like this.
Seeing the dozen or so people gathered behind Okita Yurei, Shen Shi also felt that his judgment was correct.
When he arrived nearby, someone immediately contacted Shen Shi alone. The benefits and obligations were clearly explained.
There are almost no mandatory restrictions, but in order to avoid making wedding dresses for others, you need to complete an electronic contract online for at least three years, and you have priority to renew the contract after expiration.
However, the main constraint of electronic signing is competition. As long as you don't switch jobs to other companies or studios with competing products, even if you don't want to do it midway and want to take risks, you only need to say hello in advance.
After all, it is a game. The three giants of the mineral company fully understand the players' thoughts and cannot impose too rigid restrictions.
In reality, there is nothing you can do about some agreements, but in the game, you are not even afraid of death. If you are too rigid and harsh, it may have the opposite effect.
Anyway, taking into account the inclusive habits of World Corporation and Umbrella Corporation, their three founders also considered that they did not pursue maximization of profits, but more of 'influence', so in terms of profit sharing, Okita Yu Ling is a little confident.
The reason why we still need to sign an electronic agreement is mainly to prevent capital from suddenly coming in to 'burn money' after the internal beta or public beta begins, and to forcefully poach people with subsidies that do not pay attention to profits.
"It's okay. The agreement is very simple and clear, and there are no fixed tasks to be quantified. It's pretty good..." After fully understanding the benefits, Shen Shi also felt a little surprised. It was more than he originally imagined. good!
There are no indicators. Anyway, it’s a game. The more you work, the more you get. Just like those life players who like to develop skills and create things, this can bring fun to many people.
Even if you don’t want to be a life player in the middle and want to go out for adventure, you can pick up your gun and rush out at any time without any restrictions!
"I signed, ID: Mr. Zaun."
"When you exit the game, you will still need your real-name certified mobile phone to complete the subsequent steps of electronic signing. But now we can get familiar with the environment and process. It is best to find your favorite one. If you like it for a long time, you will be able to do it for a long time." Then Shen Shi followed. After the old man became familiar with some of the processes, he discovered that although this was the 'Abyss Mineral Company', it actually covered a wide range of areas.
From raw material collection, refining, forging and manufacturing. Those who like to go out can mine. Their boss has marked out several rich mines nearby. Just find the container and dig back with good luck.
The smelting aspect seems to be waiting for Big Pineapple to invite his classmates to come over and engrave some smelting circles. You may even add some enchanting effects to the mold later!
If he likes it, Shen Shi actually feels that he likes magic more. But looking at his 10 points of mental power and the headache he felt after listening to several recorded lessons before, he still felt that he just needed to learn a little buff.
"I have 10 points of mental power. Is it okay to focus on one or two enchanting effects?" Shen Shi thought about it and chose his own direction.
There is no doubt that mining is the least technical and difficult. You may have some experience and corresponding skills, but it is too easy to get started.
The same is true for forging, manufacturing, etc. In their promotion, they said they had obtained blueprints for elementary machine tools, which shows that their ambitions are still very high.
Real robots have already shown the gap between manpower and machinery. Even super soldiers with powerful attributes in the game may be difficult to fill.
In this case, mastering an irreplaceable craft is the best choice... Chapter 707: Abyss, Enzuoling.
At this time, a group of people were cautiously arriving at a hilltop outside Novice Village. The leader looked around cautiously while speaking.
"The location of this mining area is currently the most suitable place for initial mining in my opinion. Look at the machine gun tower over there. It is also within the fire coverage, so even though it is outside the village, it can still be mined, but how much You have to pay attention." Okita Yuling personally led this group of people to find the way.
The location of this small hill actually doesn't look very good. There is a river of lava flowing next to it. The mountain also looks a bit steep. It is red as a whole and looks a bit sinister.
Okita didn't care about the environment at all. He squatted down and broke off a stone, weighed it in his hand and said
"The quality of the iron ore here is extremely high. As long as the magic furnace is completed, we can easily increase production. Pineapple is in charge of the magic here. Let's prepare the preliminary work first." At this time, Shen Shi also took the opportunity to ask.
"President, are the land and buildings occupied casually?"
"Of course not. I have inquired. Private construction is currently not allowed in the village. Buildings and facilities built by oneself outside the village are free, but there will be no 'protection'. In other words, if we build But it was snatched away by others, so there is nothing we can do about it, but we can pay to confirm this ownership. This fee is paid by Master Qin, which is equivalent to protection fees and land rent." Hearing this , Shen Shi couldn't help but nodded, this game is really amazing, the degree of freedom is so high!
In the past, the degree of freedom in "Star World" was high enough, but it was still not comparable to this. Moreover, the design of these lava rocks is also so realistic, and the light and shadow effects and flow are so realistic.
But maybe that's why I chose this lava world with a relatively monotonous color, in order to save computing power.
I wonder if there will be more colorful ones in the future.
"Then President, I want to learn a few enchantment engravings individually. Should I also pick them out? Don't I also need to learn mathematics?" Thinking of this, Shen Shi also had a headache.
"Haha, I know most of you don't have this patience, but it doesn't matter. I have consulted clearly. I am just learning a few specific spell models. In fact, it is completely possible to know what they are without knowing why. Just practice and practice makes perfect. , this is also the reason why in the career description, you can not become a mage but can also practice magic and martial arts." Okita Yurei is very optimistic about this guy. It doesn't matter if you don't like mathematics, and it doesn't matter if you are not used to studying. You can find your own position and then work hard to do it. That’s it!
In fact, the most fearful thing is to do one thing half way and think that another one is good. Keep switching back and forth. Being able to study a technology painstakingly is also very promising.
At present, I have summarized it with Big Pineapple. Due to the magic tide of the abyss, the magic model requires constant fine-tuning in details, so it is beyond the reach of machinery.
Judging from some current tests, the physics engine of this game is probably perfect. They don't have a clue about building a 'particle accelerator' or 'controllable nuclear fusion' or anything like that, but they are just building handmade machine tools, and later on steam engines, with the help of magic, they should be able to make rapid progress!
Therefore, Shen Shi's choice currently obviously has greater potential. Then Okita clapped his hands again and said to everyone
"Okay, now is not the time to mine. We have to get the prototype of the blast furnace out first. This is a hard job." For this blast furnace, he spent money to hire professionals to design it!
And because the materials have to be made from scratch, there are a lot of instructions on what kind of clay to choose, how much water to add, and how to dry it.
It’s impossible for ordinary people to do this all at once! Now we have the upper hand! All we have to do is wait until Big Pineapple hires someone, and we'll be all set!
...Paji~ After kneading a ball of clay that had been stirred to the right level into a ball and throwing it aside, Okita truly felt the charm of the game itself.
This is not much more fun than Minecraft! At this time, a group of them were just like a group of naughty children, having a great time playing in the mud.
"It's so inefficient to move water like this. It would be great if we could lead a canal over. How about we dig one?" The six newly replaced water-resistant people put down their buckets and said with some complaints, "I want to play in the mud. I don’t want to carry water.
"Good idea, but will it affect the humidity?"
"You're not going to be so perverted, are you?"
"I can't say for sure. It's a completely realistic style at the moment, so I'm afraid it might really affect it."
"Don't big pineapples have magic? Can't magic repair them?"
"Magic can also directly build a house, but he has to be able to do it. How about you learn some?"
"No, I hate math."
"Let's dig it. Mr. Pineapple said that he would suddenly learn the 'Solidization Technique' and prepare to specialize. We won't make any big mistakes in the outline and structure. Later repairs will depend on him..."
"Long live!"...when that group of mud-playing people suddenly threw all the burden of later repairs on Jiang Bo.
At this time, Jiang Bo was also studying the follow-up content quite awkwardly in class. Oh my god! I didn’t even work that hard in the college entrance examination, okay?
Are these things really for players to learn? The magic pattern structure of magic numbers, calculus, and solid geometry. When the spell model is introduced from the plane to the solid, the difficulty increases instantly!
But unfortunately, most of the two-dimensional models are basic structure models with little effect, designed to create effective spell models.
Even the simplest mage's hand is composed of a three-dimensional structure, including more than one hundred nodes and more than forty basic plane models.
"...So, for us mages, we not only need to know how to release spells, but also how they are formed. In this way, we can find a spell-casting method that suits us. Legendary mages are famous for their cost-effectiveness. As for the 'Fireball Technique' used, we have hundreds of model structures in our collection here alone, all of which have made some changes to the basic models that suit our own habits." The red-skinned old mage stood on the podium and raised his head casually. The hand sketched a complex three-dimensional pattern in the air.
After saying this, he paused temporarily to allow the fifty people at the scene to have time to digest his words, and then continued again.
"Okay, let's stop talking about the theory for now. I believe that through this, you have also understood what the definition of a mage is. Next, we will teach another skill that is extremely important to a mage, meditation." After hearing this, many people The students whose scalps were already numb and who were going back to make up classes to see if they could understand the video playback also saw their eyes light up at this time.
Meditation? Is it a skill? I don’t know what effect it has! However, with the previous education and punishment, they all also know that the skills of this game are not just something that the instructor teaches you, you have to really 'learn' it yourself!
Chapter 708 Details
"This is meditation? It's really amazing!" After Jiang Bo opened his eyes again, he found that an hour had passed unknowingly, and he felt full of energy like never before.
I even feel that my thoughts are much faster and my brain is much more flexible. This...is this something that can be used in reality?
Only then did he see some messages in the barrage.
"Are you finally awake?"
"Brother, do you rely on deep sleep to play immersive games just to sleep?"
"But the expression on his face is very peaceful. Is it so magical?"
"What is the effect of the skill? Have you learned it?"
"It won't really work, right?"
"I also followed the explanation and studied it, and it seemed quite decent."
"..." He appeared peacefully and meditated in front of the live broadcast for an hour. This obviously caused dissatisfaction among many fans, but those who did not leave and are still here are also curious.
And as Jiang Bo woke up, more and more people came back. Jiang Bo also responded solemnly.
"It's really amazing! I really doubt that this meditation method is useful in reality! No, today's teaching is over. I'll try it offline. It feels so wonderful." After doing what he said, Jiang Bo was excited Completed offline.
After waking up in bed again, Jiang Bo took off the heavy helmet and gave instructions:
"Ada, rearrange the camera and keep quiet." After speaking, Jiang Bo took a long breath, began to maintain a meditative breathing rhythm, and tried again.
But then he frowned slightly and said
"I feel it should be feasible, but I always feel that something is missing. Don't worry, everyone. I will explain the gap in detail when the time comes..." After that, he started to try meditation again.
It took him about half an hour to enter a state that could be entered relatively quickly in the game, and then his expression calmed down again and he entered meditation.
And this meditation is just one night. When he woke up again, he also felt a sense of fullness of spirit and active thoughts, not at all the heaviness he felt after waking up.
A great feeling of relaxation all over! I quickly opened the holographic screen and saw a lot of complaints.
"Haha, I actually watched a man sleeping all night."
"Is it really useful? Has anyone who tried it before come back?"
"Finally woke up!"
"What's going on, tell me quickly!"
"..." Seeing that so many fans were still caring about him, Jiang Bo also sent a big lucky bag, and then said
"What Umbrella said was true. They really integrated some of their knowledge into the game! At least this meditation technique is really useful! But the effect is much worse than in the game..." Jiang Bo Then he began to explain his feelings one by one.
For example, when he was meditating in the game, he could really feel the beating of "natural magic". The feedback of that magic flowing through himself and blending in with himself made him very addicted to it.
However, if used in reality, the effect will be much worse, and there will be no magic or magic at all.
"Perhaps as Umbrella said, magic in normal nature is too rare. The game is a hypothetical world rich in magic in their setting. Hey, sometimes I really hope that reality can be like this. , maybe I can actually cast spells, haha~" As time went by, a few fans who had tried repeatedly and successfully based on the tutorial videos came back to report.
"It is effective in actual testing. It is better than Ankangding. I feel that people are much more awake. I tried to memorize the words and my efficiency improved a bit. I don't know if it is an illusion."
"I feel the same way, and my mind is very peaceful. No matter what, it is a good way to regulate my emotions."
"Awesome, as expected of Umbrella."
"It should be a set of meditation methods summarized by Umbrella. In fact, meditation techniques are also found in yoga and some sects, but I feel that they are not as popular as the ones taught by Umbrella."
"..." Jiang Bo looked at the barrage and said with a smile.
"Yeah, it's not as amazing as it is in the game in real life. You'll know when you try it when you get the game. It feels quite comfortable. It's a benefit for mage players." But then he thought about it.
"But it seems that non-mage players can also try meditation in the game. Well, I have to go back to the game to review. At least I have to learn the solidification technique." Thinking of this, Jiang Bo couldn't help but feel a headache again.
Got a lot of messages from people
"What's that expression on your face?"
"That's right, I don't know how blessed I am when I'm in the midst of blessings."
"Although you paid to study, it feels like you are really making money."
"You need 100 credits to learn a skill outside. At least you can read the books in the classroom at will."
"Even if most of the spells are only elementary and low-level, they are far more than what you paid."
"..." Seeing these words, Jiang Bo laughed loudly while putting on his helmet again.
"Yes, but the more important thing about those books is not the spells, but some ideas and directions. It will be quite interesting after you learn them. But now that I have to solve a single spell, I am really on a pirate ship." Jiang Bo, who returned to the game, opened his eyes again and found that half of the people in the classroom were still there, but most of them were still in a meditative posture, and they were not sure whether they were meditating or offline.
The character will not go offline after the game is offline, but you can set some simple commands, such as where to go back, or where to sit, etc.
Safety is generally guaranteed within Novice Village, but it's hard to say outside the village. Jiang Bo also got up at this time, came to the bookshelf behind the classroom, and began to search, and soon found the book he was looking for, "The Evolution from Solidification Technique to Petrification Technique".
The books in the classroom are all basic books, so no matter who reads them, they have to deal with their own subject. However, the teacher taught in class that some complex magic will have some written records of its own magic.
For example, runes, dragon language, elven language, etc. need to be learned separately, but they are not something that early mages need to experience separately.
"Judging from the comprehensiveness of Umbrella's design, maybe what they got from the ruins really has 'Dragon Language', but maybe they haven't completed the translation yet..." Jiang Bo thought.
This thick book is about a series of spells, mainly explaining three spells.
Solidification technique, turning mud into stone, petrification technique. Among them, the solidification technique is undoubtedly the simplest, but the first thing to explain is not the solidification technique, but the three most important standard models for the solidification technique. From the most basic details, it explains the principles of how to build...
"If I had such enthusiasm for the college entrance examination, everything in Qingbei would be within my grasp." While sighing, Jiang Bo also began to bite the bullet.
Having already learned the basic principles, he can still understand the beginning of this book...————
