The game has started, there are absolutely no bugs this time

Chapter 83 Salted Fish Stab!

"A sting to the salted fish!"

"Two thorns in the salted fish!"

"Sure kill! The ultimate salty fish stab!!"

After all, Gou Tong is also a professional game host. Although he is not a game master, he has played many games.

He was a little flustered, but he finally managed to knock down the thief in front of him.

'Invincible'

"I don't think this is difficult. It's just about finding the angle and timing, keeping the distance, and stabbing. Although the main character is playing on the real difficulty and adding full damage, the starting attributes should be higher than the opponent. Just have the hands."

'Cloud players are like this'

"Actually, if you're defeated here, you'll enter another plot line. After being kidnapped, there might be a famous Three Kingdoms character from the local lawful side who might rescue the protagonist from the bandit's lair."

"I'm watching several live streams at the same time, and there's already a rookie streamer who was knocked down in two moves and didn't click to start over, was captured, skipped the humiliating cutscene, and then was rescued and directly joined the team."

'Detailed humiliation cg'

"So that's it. This is Zhuo County. The host missed Liu Bei."

"Liu Bei will still have a chance. If he wins here, he'll have more freedom, and he'll probably get more starting resources at the beginning. I have to give him some positive feedback. If I were playing by myself, I would also have to win here."

Gou Tong was also reading the comments after the game, and he also agreed with the idea of ​​trying to win.

If you can win, you must win, because the difficulty of the start here is obviously different from that of Shikaichiro in the Guardian Wolf of Japan two years ago.

He was just a little flustered because he was not familiar with You Xuan's realistic combat mechanism this time.

If it happens again now, he will kill faster, and it is not difficult to deal full damage. Most players should be able to defeat the opponent within three times.

One reason why there are no extra rewards for the kind of game that Shichiro plays is that the difficulty itself is so high that it's better to make it into an easter egg to prevent players from wasting time meaninglessly. Another reason is that the positive and negative feedback of suffering in the Souls class is quite special.

For this kind of opponent with a low difficulty at the beginning, it is common sense to give some rewards for defeating the thief.

It's not a big problem if there are no extra rewards, but if you can get higher returns by losing the first battle at the beginning, then it's a bit problematic. You might be playing a very strange game.

Gou Tong controlled the character and went forward to try to loot, but found that the thief had no money on him, only a broken and rusty knife.

'Tetanus Blade'

'Looks worse than a dung fork'

After Gou Tong picked it up, he switched weapons and tried to swing it.

When weapon proficiency is the same, one-handed weapons are slightly faster.

I feel that street fighting may be better than salted fish thrust.

But if it is in a slightly open area, it is probably not as useful as a dung fork.

Every inch is stronger.

The protagonist who comes from a good family starts with a dung fork. Although its attack range is not as good as the bow and arrow that the hunter can carry in the starting prompt, it is already a long-pole weapon.

I don't know how many heroes have been brought down by the dung fork.

In addition to the quality classification, weapons in the game are simply divided into one-handed weapons, two-handed weapons, long-pole weapons, bows and arrows, crossbows, and throwing weapons.

Excluding long-range attacks, long-pole weapons generally have the longest attack range.

Weapons like the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, the Zhangba Snake Spear, and the Fang Tian Painted Halberd are all long poles.

The opening tips mentioned that you should choose to be good at horse fighting or foot fighting. It is best to use a long pole when riding a horse or fighting on a large scale.

Although theoretically there are uses like scimitar knights, the long pole is the most powerful in frontal combat during horse battles.

These weapon types are not fixed. Long-pole weapons can be thrown out to become long-range weapons, as demonstrated by Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu in the Heroes' Forces PV.

The legendary double-edged swords are two-handed weapons that can be used alone, and they are much longer than normal one-handed swords.

But in fact, this two-handed weapon can also be set to be used with one hand. For example, Liu Bei himself uses two two-handed weapons with both hands at the same time.

However, it requires a high level of proficiency and some special skills, otherwise the inconvenience of use will outweigh the benefits.

I agree with the guess that if this game has an apprenticeship system, perhaps Liu Bei would have tutorials on how to reduce the penalty for using a two-handed weapon with one hand.

Gou Tong replaced the tetanus blade with a dung fork and heard footsteps again.

'There are still enemies'

'Quick Salted Fish Thrust'

"Probably not."

Gou Tong noticed that the person who came this time was wearing obviously more gorgeous clothes, like a rich man, and his sword was not unsheathed.

Sure enough, after approaching, the NPC took a look at the thief's corpse and did not attack Gou Tong, but had a normal conversation:
"Strong man..."

"If this game had some kind of black technology to judge appearance, I think everyone would call these grandpas monsters."

"AI in games is getting stronger and stronger these days. In this year's US-made Batman Gotham Nightmare, NPCs can already recognize players' appearances and judge their typing and speech. I heard they use artificial intelligence technology called GPT, but it's not very accurate yet."

"While Chinese games are making progress, foreign ones haven't stopped either. The big Phantom 6 games should be coming soon, and there's also a revolutionary new generation of VR equipment that seems to be able to simulate smell."

"The smell is fake news, right?"

"Actually, the only Chinese game company worth watching right now is Youxuan."

"The good news is that after Heroes of the Heroes, I heard that other large-scale stand-alone projects have been launched. I hope they will get better and better."

During the discussion, the merchant had finished speaking. It turned out that his younger brother had also been captured by the bandits. Seeing that Gou Tong was a man of force, he hoped that he could rescue his brother.

Of course, he did not expect Gou Tong to accomplish such a thing alone. He could provide some funds and let Gou Tong recruit some local militia.

[(Novice missions can be rejected and your Three Kingdoms adventure can start directly)]

[Task: Accept this mission, receive a deposit of 5000 coins, recruit at least five subordinates, and report to the merchant to receive some follow-up funds]

"So this is the real tutorial for beginners, okay?"

Gou Tong accepted the task and then went to the recruitment point according to the tutorial.

There are a small number of soldiers available for recruitment, but you will be prompted that your reputation is insufficient and the funds are not enough.

If the difficulty is simple, you can recruit directly. If the difficulty is real, the reputation level will be two levels higher.

So Gou Tong took the money and left the county town and came to the big map. Everything on the big map was miniature, like a God's perspective.

He avoided the small groups of bandits on the road and went to the countryside, where he successfully found ten of his men.

He is the most basic first-level soldier, the Youzhou farmer.

He had no armor, only a dung fork, a rotten wooden shield, and a bag of stones to throw.

The advantage is that it is cheap, with low recruitment and maintenance costs.

Normally, recruiting people to fight is definitely not that simple, but since it’s a game, some parts must be simplified.

I went back to report and got another sum of money.

Gou Tong went to the market to sell a dung fork.

He bought cavalry spears, hunting bows and arrows, and an old horse and saddle.

There were no stirrups during this period, and vests were not sold here.

The horse equipment is in the same equipment column, and only the saddle provides relatively few attributes. There may be stirrups in some later scripts.
