The southern part of the Holy Spirit Continent.
The Duchy of Orinster.
Grand Town.
Lu Qingge stood in front of the entrance to the copy of [Novice Tutorial] and took a deep breath slowly.
"It's been a year..."
"It's time to make a break..."
Lu Qingge muttered to himself in a deep voice, his eyes sharp.
one Year!
It has been a full year since I came into this world!
From a year ago to now, he has not passed the novice tutorial!
In the setting of the world of "Holy Spirit".
If the player has not passed the [Newbie Tutorial] copy.
Poop means.
All subsequent game content will have nothing to do with him.
He will not be able to go to any wild areas.
Certain places on the town area, such as the Trading House and Forward Camp, are also inaccessible.
Naturally, let alone leaving the novice village of [Grand Town].
Because of this part of the game map.
It will only be officially unlocked after clearing the novice tutorial copy.
Under normal circumstances.
A year's time.
It is enough for a lv1 player who can maintain a normal leveling rhythm.
Reach a level between lv5 and lv10.
And this year.
Lu Qingge is still at the original level 1, unchanged.
He even achieved the hidden achievement of [King of Pendulums] because of this.
But let’s talk about it.
In fact, Lu Qingge was not a salted fish.
even--
In the real world.
He was also a curly dog who kept his classmates and colleagues at arm's length and was frightened by the news.
Senior year of high school.
Lu Qingge returns to the dormitory from the classroom on time before lights out at 11:30 every night.
Every weekend, ten sets of simulation papers will be practiced.
Sophomore stage.
Lu Qingge, who passed all the certificate exams ahead of schedule, also completed an internship in her junior year and drafted her graduation thesis.
after graduation.
Lu Qingge, who was living a 996 life every day, suddenly one day looked in the mirror and laughed:
"You're putting this health care aside, aren't you?"
Soon he joined the 007 army.
So it stands to reason.
Lu Qingge was nicknamed "Molotov Chicken Roll" because of his iron-clad liver.
It shouldn't have started like this.
And the reason for all this has to start from the beginning.
2050.
That was thirty years ago.
The world's first global server.
A large-scale holographic online game with extremely high degree of freedom and realism——
"Holy Spirit" is officially open to the public beta.
In just a few days, the number of daily active users of "Holy Spirit" exceeded 2 billion.
It topped the world's online game list and quickly became the most popular national game in history.
The lowest is six, seven, eight, and the highest is eighty-eight.
Players of all ages have found their own happiness here.
Because it reaches 99.9% authenticity.
In "Holy Spirit", players can get an experience that is almost the same as in reality.
Not only can character modeling perfectly replicate the player's body.
All sensory experiences are also close to 100%.
That's why.
same year.
"Holy Spirit" caused a violent shock in the scientific community.
Top scientists and scientific associations from various countries have unanimously declared:
"The advent of "Holy Spirit" has completely realized mankind's great conception of the 'Metaverse' era!"
However.
Just as people are celebrating the arrival of the "Metaverse Era"——
The end is coming.
Yes, it was so sudden.
Just thirty years after the release of Holy Spirit.
Blue Star encountered the largest meteorite swarm in history that could not be intercepted.
Under the hammering of dimensionality reduction levels.
The earth's crust collapsed and collapsed, global volcanoes erupted, the physical and chemical composition of the atmosphere changed dramatically, and the earth stopped rotating...
Eventually, the world is destroyed.
Human civilization has come to an end.
…
However, although.
Humanity did send it.
But I didn’t send it completely.
Even though the world is destroyed.
But the ashes were discovered by humans who had already been flown to the Pacific Ocean.
The world of "Holy Spirit" - is actually intact!
And those players who have registered "Holy Spirit".
After the apocalypse.
their consciousness.
It was actually transferred to their game characters in "Holy Spirit".
Some people are happy, some are sad.
During these thirty years.
Those old players who have been in the game for many years suddenly have capital in the new world because of the coming apocalypse.
As for the new players who returned to the pre-Liberation era overnight, their mentality was a bit explosive.
However.
No one can explain all this.
same.
No one can tell clearly.
Why when the servers have been reduced to ashes.
This world has not collapsed yet.
But one thing is for sure.
For humans, this is definitely a good thing.
This is--
A fresh start.
A new civilization, a new society, a new order...
as well as--
Brand new and unknown.
And the moment before the end of the world comes.
Lu Qingge made his choice.
Calmly and indifferently, he lay down in the game cabin.
The reason is also very simple.
——He is an orphan.
When most people leave the last days of their lives to their families.
Lu Qingge chose the world of "Holy Spirit".
For Lu Qingge.
This world has no close relatives, no lovers, and no other bonds.
There seems to be nothing to miss.
so……
It would be better to sleep forever in another world with more possibilities.
And it is indeed a coincidence.
At the same moment when the meteorite hit and the server collapsed.
Lu Qingge happened to get stuck and completed logging in to the game.
At that time, he was preparing to choose the character's career.
Ga!
A sound.
The game interface is garbled.
Wait until you recover.
He has already appeared in the world of "Holy Spirit".
Then.
Lu Qingge discovered...
He has a bug.
There's a big fucking bug!
first.
There is no [experience bar] in his game panel!
On a normal player's panel, right next to the level is the experience bar.
Once the experience bar is full, it will automatically upgrade.
But there was nothing behind Lu Qingge's level number.
That is to say.
He couldn't level up at all.
And this is very likely to lead to a very bad situation.
That is - he will always be lv1.
Grass!
Oh shit!
So damn scary!
What a ghost story!
What is the concept of lv1?
In the new world.
Because of the extremely high degree of reality of "Holy Spirit".
Humanity after time travel.
It can be like in reality.
Falling in love, getting married, having children.
Every newborn baby comes with a game board.
When they first came out of their mother's womb, they were at level 1.
After most young children grow up to teenagers in the Novice Village, they can pass the [Novice Tutorial] and become adventurers.
In other words, Lu Qingge's level will always be exactly the same as that of the weaned cubs.
It’s almost time to fix your hook...
Unfortunately, this is not the only thing that hurts my balls.
On Lu Qingge's panel, the [Occupation] column is also empty!
That is to say.
Although he is a player.
But he is neither a [Swordsman] nor a [Warrior].
Not even [Ranger] or [Mage].
To put it nicely, he is a [loose cultivator].
To put it more bluntly——
He is a der.
In addition, there is another more deadly thing.
The skill interfaces of other players are all in the form of a skill tree.
Skills that can be learned and mastered are lit.
Those who have not yet been able to learn are gloomy.
And Lu Qingge’s is amazing.
There is only one bud in his skill panel.
Well, that's right.
Everyone else is a skill tree, he is a skill bud...
That’s fucking outrageous!
When he saw this scene for the first time, Lu Qingge's mentality was explosive.
He doesn’t even have any skills, so he’s still having fun!
A normal player is born with three basic skills of his profession.
Passing the copy of [Newbie Tutorial] is very easy, all you need is a hand.
Lu Qingge, on the other hand, could only use his fists to hit A one after another.
The worst part is, it’s not even an A!
[Novice Tutorial] In the dungeon, there is only one room and one wild monster.
That is, the lord boss itself.
It has a built-in protection mechanism. Every time it is damaged ten times, a shock wave will erupt.
The shock wave not only causes damage, but also knocks nearby players away.
But this protection mechanism is actually very useless.
Because this is a novice tutorial level after all, no matter how strong the boss is, it won't be that strong.
If you throw away ten skills, you will be seriously disabled even if you don't die.
But Lu Qingge was an accident.
He could only hit the boss ten times, and then he was knocked away by the shock wave due to the close attack...
Although the damage of the shock wave is not too high.
But what I can’t bear is that the lv1 Caigou does less damage than A...
Before Lu Qingge could beat the boss to death with a small fist.
His thin blood bar had been shattered by the shock wave.
This is the reason why Lu Qingge couldn't pass [Novice Tutorial] at all.
But then, things seemed to take a turn for the better.
Not long after, Lu Qingge discovered it.
He seems to have an experience bar.
It’s just that this experience bar doesn’t seem right.
——Because it is not long.
But a rounded [experience pool].
Well, that's right.
Big, round, and very moist.
And all the experience points obtained by Lu Qingge.
It seems that everything will flow into this [experience pool] and become the pool water.
And when there is more and more water in the pool, it is about to overflow.
The area of this [experience pool] will increase accordingly.
Otherwise, it will be reduced.
At the same time, Lu Qingge also noticed a detail.
——His [Skill Bud] is rooted near the [Experience Pool].
That is to say.
This skill bud is most likely nourished by the [Experience Pool].
As expected.
When he checked the details of [Skill Bud], he found something like this.
[lv1 skill tree (0/1000)]
At that moment, Lu Qingge had a surprising guess.
"hiss!"
"Could it be that."
"Can this skill bud be upgraded?"
"And the source of experience points..."
"Could it be the [Experience Pool]?"
In order to verify this conjecture.
Lu Qingge began his year-long operation.
In the copy of [Newbie Tutorial], there is only one boss wild monster.
So there are only three ways to gain experience.
One is the experience gained from killing the boss.
The second is the experience gained from clearing the copy.
The third is the encouragement experience gained when the copy fails - to put it bluntly, it is comfort experience.
[Novice Tutorial] The comfort experience of the copy is very small, so little that it is almost negligible.
Basically, there is only 1 point each time, and occasionally there are 2 points.
so.
In order to accumulate enough experience to upgrade Douyao.
He has been suffering from liver disease for a whole year!
Every time you die in [Newbie Tutorial], you will save one or two experience points.
Then wait until after death.
After the [weakness] state that prohibits downloading another copy has passed.
Let’s continue with the next [Novice Tutorial].
After such perseverance and repeated cycles.
Lu Qingge.
Finally made it to today.
——Today is the moment to witness a miracle.
[Experience pool: 999]
Just a little less experience points.
Upgrading of distance [lv1 skill tree],
Just one more death!
…
"bring it on."
"Brother Kangkang, who are you?"
I glanced at the numbers on the panel.
Lu Qingge was full of fighting spirit and strode into the entrance of the [Novice Tutorial] copy.
…
