The sword of the pinnacle of the country

Chapter 2 North of the Border
Half a day of aimless college life flashed by like this. At a special time like zero o'clock, my sleepy nature was exposed again. At the moment when my eyelids were about to close in a trance, the picture of the promotional poster in the holographic glasses suddenly Flashing, accompanied by a deafening sound from the headset.

In the past two days, waking up seemed to be the most common thing I experienced.

"Welcome to "Kingdom": The Boundless Land. There are still 30 seconds before the game server opens. Please wait patiently."

He yawned, and sat up slowly from the hard bed of the school. While the images on the holographic glasses were dancing, a burst of intense white light burst out from the center, and then gradually expanded, eventually swallowing up all the other scenery, leaving only Four black block letters were placed.

"enter the game."

I clicked the button involuntarily, but the picture in front of me did not change from the same white to too rich and gorgeous.

The scenery in front of me is still covered by cool tones, revealing a breath of chilling autumn everywhere. In such an area, the Gobi area with desert and flat sand, and the no-man's land in the north of the border.

"Welcome to "Kingdom", and we are testing the various functions of your body."

"Scanning facial contours."

"Please enter your game ID."

I grinned, and typed the three words "Dead Frost Winter" on the keyboard.

"This ID is available, are you sure to use the ID 'Frostwinter'?"

"Confirmation is complete, please select your character information." At the same time, images of 9 characters popped up on the screen, corresponding to the initial occupations in "Kingdom".

In addition to retaining the original archers, swordsmen, priests, mages, knights, and assassins in "Divinity", three new professions including warlocks, druids, and hunters have been added.

"Your career choice is Warlock, are you sure?"

After tapping the button a few times, the prompts on the screen came gradually.

"Career selection is complete."

"You have completed the initial registration, and I will send you to the special starting location: the north of the border."

Another burst of white light flashed past, and the scenery in front of him changed from blurred to clear, but... Isn't this the Gobi at the beginning of the game?

What did the system prompt sound say just now?With a special starting location, it is unlikely that any hidden mechanism will be triggered just after entering the game.

The biting wind whizzed past my face gradually, and I always used to maximize the index of the pain system in the game to make everything in front of me more real.But no matter how real it is, I have never seen a similar novice village. Not to mention the npc, even the neutral monsters that can be killed have disappeared.

There were still a few people scattered around the vast Gobi, and then I saw a man with the appearance of a swordsman walking towards me slowly.

"Brother, do you know what's going on?"

This is a swordsman named "Zhengrong". It's just the beginning of the server, and everyone is dressed in a whiteboard, so it's hard to see any distinctive features. Make a deep impression.

"I can't even find an NPC in this so-called Novice Village. I'm afraid it's hard to figure out the system's arrangement." I frowned, still clueless.

"National" can only be seen from the promotional video, and the investment can be seen. Generally speaking, it is not certain that such a bug will occur in a key place like Xinshou Village. It must be some kind of mystery hidden in such an environment.

Leaning down, he touched the ground slowly, the sand in his hand was blown up by the wind, and flowed into his nose and nose.

"Ahem." No matter what the mystery is, I can say that I don't like the designer of this map at all.

Just as the soreness in the mouth and nose was almost gone, the originally calm quicksand on the ground began to surge abruptly, accompanied by the system prompt that appeared in front of him: 30 seconds before the next wave of monsters appeared, wave 01/03 , for the glory of the kingdom, please operate the character to join the battle.

Before I had time to think carefully why the novice tutorial appeared in such a way, there were already two or three white bones within sight, stiffly waving the rust-colored weapon in their hands, and staggered towards it.

The lens and the monster automatically focus, and then information about the monster is displayed on the screen:
Name: Skeleton

Rating: 1
Blood volume: 100
Attack: 5-7
Defense: 0
(Due to level restrictions, more attribute recognition cannot be unlocked)

Introduction: The remains of dead people awakened by necromancers outside the country move slowly, without self-awareness, and will consciously attack the surrounding life forms.

Although I have been away from Hologlass for many years, the monsters of this novice task are still helpless in front of me.

The swordsman named "Zhengrong" next to him watched in amazement as the warlock next to him held a slender sandalwood stick and struck violently at the joints of the skeleton. This is a weak point attack. If any monster touches its most vulnerable part, it can cause far more damage than usual.

But for a long-range profession of a warlock, it is necessary to use a wooden stick to beat your face. . . .It seems a little too much.

However, I still clearly perceive a sense of unfamiliarity in operation. As the initial monster skeleton, the attack frequency is naturally slow, but if it comes to 3x speed or a higher level, it is difficult for me to avoid it anyway.

Fortunately, he chose a warlock this time, which doesn't require such a high reaction speed compared to melee occupations. Usually, what time does is to keep a good distance from hostile things and wait for opportunities to release skills.

"Kingdom" is a highly operable game. There is no such thing as a non-directional skill. As long as you have a quick reaction, you can theoretically avoid any incoming skills, even ordinary attacks that are worthwhile. .

It’s just that the advantage of the warlock profession is that the release of skills is mostly based on AOE and adding debuffs to the enemy, which largely maintains the hit rate of skills.Therefore, occupations such as warlocks and mages can easily be regarded as occupations for the elderly. Even beginners who are new to the game can still deal damage with their skill advantages.But at the cost of this is the embarrassing situation during the skill vacuum period, especially in the early stages of the game.

Released a first-level poison formation, inserted the wooden stick into the neck joint of the skeleton, and after jumping out a series of dotted numbers, the white bones finally disintegrated into skeletons and fell into the yellow sand.

"The first wave of monsters has been repelled, please take a short rest."

Looking at the surrounding people in a blink of an eye, it is natural that there should be no casualties in the novice mission, but the reduction of the blood bar is quite different. There is even an archer whose blood volume has been photographed by 1/3, but a priest A person far away unexpectedly maintained a state of full blood.

For the healing profession, regardless of the difficulty of single-spawning monsters, the movement of the priest's normal attack is quite slow. In addition, the holy light skill of the priest's level 1 is mainly to increase the effect of teammates, and the damage is minimal. It's really unbelievable that a trace of blood doesn't hurt the single spawner.

"There are still 30 seconds until the second wave of monsters appears, wave 02/03, please continue to fight."

The roar of indescribable monsters gradually came from a distance, and then groups of green-skinned dwarves gradually appeared, holding maces and walking compactly.

Name: Goblin
Rating: 1
Attack: 9-12
Defense: 6-10
Blood volume: 120
Introduction: Strange creatures from ancient forests, with bad tempers and living in groups.

"Goblin." I grinned. This character can be regarded as an indispensable character in the traditional online game system. Although they are weak, they are annoying in groups.

For me, I can pass the level smoothly by still using the previous method of dealing with skeletons. Pulling monsters is relatively easy, and the increase in goblin attack frequency does not affect my dodge.

This time, I focused my attention on that strange priest. As I expected, he didn't release his only skill Holy Light at all, but just tapped with his stick.

This is a bit scary, I secretly swallowed my saliva, the attack range of the priest is slightly longer than that of the goblin of the melee profession, but the small difference in range is rarely noticed, let alone exploited, but This is indeed the case for this priest. Taking advantage of this small range advantage, he constantly distances himself from the goblins. This is a kind of non-injury pulling monster.

Could it be a professional player from which team?But with such detailed operations, it is possible to play a thief or a swordsman, but choose a priest profession, and even a novice field can meet such a master?
"It's interesting." I said to myself, it seems that with the development of holographic games, a large number of talented players have ushered in.

"Fuck, what happened today? On the first day of server opening, I saw a warlock killing monsters with his bare hands. Even the priest can pull monsters by himself?" The swordsman "Zheng Rong" made several mistakes one after another, which caused him to be blotted out by the goblins.

A priest's special staff fell down instantly, pulling away the hatred of the goblin on the back that the swordsman couldn't reach.

The swordsman murmured and said "thank you" falteringly, but there was obviously some unspeakable embarrassment in his heart.

When does a swordsman need a priest to pull monsters?

"The second wave of monsters has been repelled, please take a short rest."

It wasn't until then that I saw the whole picture of the priest. Under the ID named "Yuefengji" was a pale face, about 25 years old, with sharp edges and corners, but the long hair protruded a decadent look. temperament.

"You must have been a melee professional player before." The priest said, looking at me expressionlessly.

I turned around and smiled: "Priest who pulls monsters alone, isn't your style of play more distinctive?"

"Then let's watch the third wave." He turned around and shook the stick behind him.
