Time goes back 40 minutes.
Notch Village.
Today's village is a little different from the past. Many villagers working in the village are multitasking and secretly looking at two young people who have just come out of the village chief's house and are completely unfamiliar faces.
It's no wonder that these two people just look out of place in the poor and remote Nuoqi Village.
One of them wore a well-crafted leather armor with a wooden longbow hanging on his back, while the other was even more extraordinary, wearing a robe that was said to be only worn by big shots who could use "magic".
The villagers secretly speculated that these two outsiders must have come from "Huodian City", but they just didn't know what they were doing in their small and remote village.
But in fact, all the villagers guessed wrong. Instead of coming out of "Huodian City", these two people were racking their brains and worrying about how to enter Huodian City.
That's right, if Liao Zixuan were here, his eyes would be shining, and he would shout that it was true, the classic in the novel did not lie to him, he would be so excited!
Because above the heads of these two "outsiders" in the village, there is a line of words that cannot be seen by the indigenous people of this world.
[A big watermelon in one bite]
[Melee Dharma God]
A unique "nickname" system for players!
Yes, the outsiders in the eyes of these two villagers are exactly our... closed beta players from another world!
The reason why they came to Nuoqi Village is actually very simple...
They...have nowhere else to go!
"Xigua, you said it's been so many weeks, and our scope of activities is still in these peripheral villages. The internal beta test only has the last half a month left. If we don't seize the time to explore more content, we will have no chance. ah!"
Wearing a robe, the player who should be the "Spellcaster" professional system is currently chattering to his companions with a frown on his face.
The hunter player who was carrying a bow and arrow, that is, "a big watermelon in one mouthful" also sighed helplessly.
"Hey, we are like this, aren't everyone else the same?"
"These days, I visit game forums every day and have chatted with people in the circle several times. No one can help me. They all say it is a deliberate design by the official!"
It turns out that as early as a month ago, the much-anticipated immersive virtual reality masterpiece "Godfall" finally released the first batch of closed beta qualifications.
Major anchors, studios, video producers, and tens of millions of pre-registered players have long been like sharks smelling the smell of blood, snatching up the few closed beta qualifications.
Everyone wants to seize the opportunity to try out this cross-generational masterpiece. After all, anyone who is not blind can see its huge potential and influence.
If you can make a name for yourself among them, you may not have to worry about food and drink in this life.
Of course, there are also many who really love games and want to experience the legendary 100% immersive virtual reality, a different world with absolute intelligence and "gods".
Therefore, many people treasure their qualifications for closed beta testing extremely much, wishing they could cut it into ten copies in one second, trying their best to learn as much as possible and explore this new world.
Even if this is just a "closed beta", the account will be cleaned up and the basic data will be deleted at the end.
But after all, data is dead, but people are alive. Just relying on the experience during the closed beta test, I don't know how many detours can be avoided, and it will be a long way ahead of others.
Perhaps the official is also aware of this, so for the sake of fairness, although it is an "open world" for self-exploration, in fact, the birth points of these closed beta players are all set at the edge of the map, away from big cities. Outside, in remote and lonely rural villages.
It is also commonly known as... Novice Village.
That's fine, but what's even more incredible is that after a great master went all the way from Xinshou Village to Huodian City, he was informed that the whole city was in an emergency and there was no permission to enter the city. Strangers are not allowed to enter.
"It's not obvious that this is blocking our scope of activities!"
The melee magic god muttered dissatisfiedly.
However, at this time, the "big watermelon with a mouthful" next to him smiled mysteriously. He first looked around like a thief, then moved closer, and quietly said to his companions:
"I thought so a few minutes ago, but now I don't think so anymore."
"What? What do you mean, do you have a way?" The eyes of the melee magic god suddenly lit up, and he asked anxiously.
"Do you still remember the mission we just took on?"
"Task?"
The two of them had just arrived in Nuoqi Village from somewhere else, and the first thing they did was naturally the player's usual profession, wandering around the village to see if there were any NPCs who could issue tasks.
They were all experienced at this kind of thing. After a while, they had three or four tasks, but they were all very ordinary, such as hunting low-level monsters, helping to make utensils, looking for a lost little girl, etc. wait...
But the problem lies in this last task!
[Looking for the girl who went into the "Terrorclaw Forest" to collect medicine but did not return]
[Task description: Recently, the old scoundrel Pian Lu of Nuoqi Village suffered from a serious illness and was bedridden. His eldest daughter Vivian ventured into the Dreadclaw Forest alone in order to treat her brother's illness. Searching for medicinal herbs, but ended up staying out all night. After the anxious Anru learned the news, he wanted to ask you to enter the Dreadclaw Forest to find and bring back his missing daughter]
[Task reward: 15 copper coins, 60 experience points]
At first glance, does it look like those lousy daily tasks?
As luck would have it, Da Xigua kept an eye out. After taking over the task at Anlu's house, he curiously threw a detective skill at the young son who was bedridden and sick in the house.
It didn't matter if you didn't look at it, but you were shocked when you looked at it.
because...
【Andy】
Level: 5
Status: Deeply poisoned (???)
Main occupation: [Trainee Magician]
Sub-professions: [Villager Lv1], [Vulcan Believer Lv1]
wow!
Apprentice magician! ?
Even among their group of closed beta players, this profession will definitely cause quite a stir, because so far no player has been able to find the career path of "Magician".
Even though the "Melee Magician" had the name of a Magical God and even pretended to wear a robe, in fact he didn't even touch the door of "Train Magician".
As a result, such a magician who can be called a "noble profession" among "professionals" actually appeared in a small rural village and was the youngest son of a gambling addict.
This is...
How abnormal!
Moreover, what the hell kind of sub-profession is "Vulcan Follower", and why are there three question marks after [Deep Poisoning] in the opponent's status bar?
This is the first time in so many days of closed beta testing that Da Xigua has seen a message displayed with "?" in "Falling God".
The youngest son Andy is eccentric from top to bottom, and he almost has the words "I have a big secret" written on his forehead.
The key to uncovering this secret must be the corresponding mission, [Finding the girl who went into the "Forest of Terrorclaws" and did not return).
Da Xigua speculated in his mind that it was very likely that this was just an introductory task, which would trigger a larger hidden task chain later!
From here you can see what a high-end player is.
If it were an ordinary player, he would have been unable to sit still for a long time and would have been so excited that he headed straight to the Forest of Terrorclaws, but Big Watermelon was not in a hurry.
He suppressed his excitement until he had the scene at the beginning, where the two people walked out of the village chief's house.
Da Xigua pretended to chat, but the actual purpose was to gather information and learn more about the Anlu family.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand this. Once you understand it, my dear, this is another piece of news that is even more important than the “Magician” profession that appeared before!
Old Ryan Anlu was declared bankrupt because of his gambling debts and his youngest son's strange illness. For money, he actually contacted a steward of a large family in "Huodian City" through his connections, planning to transfer his The eldest daughter Vivian was bought to work as a servant for others!
Da Xigua doesn't care about other people's family affairs, nor does he care about how miserable this little girl named Vivian is, being sold as an item by her biological father.
Anyway, they are just early cannon fodder NPCs.
In contrast, Da Xigua is more concerned about the information conveyed by this task, that is, through this task, he may be able to find a...
The way to "Fire Code City"!
At this time, even Da Xigua couldn't sit still at all. After simply explaining all this to the still confused melee magic god beside him, the two of them headed straight for the Terrorclaw Forest without stopping.
As a result, not long after entering the forest, a sudden loud noise from deeper into the forest immediately attracted the attention of the two people.
After they looked at each other, their hearts skipped a beat, and they began to quickly approach the location of the sound!
