Thirty minutes later, Ling Xiaolu went online like a thief, looked around carefully, and determined that no one was relieved.
"Have you been offline for so long, did you go for a shot? The power of Ecstasy Powder can't be underestimated!"
Ling Long appeared out of nowhere, startling him.
"Scare people to death, you!"
"Don't worry, Ji Meng has already left."
"Hmph, I haven't asked you to settle the account yet." Ling Xiaolu wanted to kill it after the autumn.
"Settlement?" Ling Long held his chest exaggeratedly, "If it wasn't for the kick I gave you just now, you might be in Dongye now."
"Tongye? Where is that?"
"It's where the mansion of the pawnbroker you just saw is located."
Ling Xiaolu squinted at him: "You know quite well."
"The appointment is a valued customer of our company, and every customer service is required to know their basic information like the back of the hand." Linglong answered fluently.
"Really? What about separation?"
"He lives in an inaccessible place in Beimang for a long time, and he rarely goes down the mountain."
"Very good, then I'll set off in the farthest southwest direction from them."
Linglong pressed his forehead with his claws: "There are currently about a hundred people who have made a contract in this game, spread all over the continent, and almost everyone has their own sphere of influence. Not to mention that they have unlimited teleportation rights and can reach them in a short time. Anywhere you want to go, I guess it's useless to just use escape tactics."
Ling Xiaolu was sluggish for a few seconds, then turned around and walked in the direction of Yuanting Town.
"Where are you going?"
Ling Long swayed to keep up.
"Since I can't run away, I simply don't run away. The most dangerous place is the safest place. There are so many people in Yuanting Town, it's hard to find me from a bunch of green names."
Ling Long suddenly realized: "You are so smart!"
"Tell me how this game is played. If something like this happens again, I can't be as passive as this time."
"Aspirational!" Ling Long held his paws, "I just like to follow aspiring players like you!"
"Don't say anything else, does this game have a public chat channel?"
"Of course! We have many channels, public and private, by geography, and by purpose. Just squeeze your earlobe, say the name of the channel you want to add, and you're done. Open the chat window, if it is a private encrypted channel, you need to add the password after the channel name, or be invited to join. Accept the user name to open a private chat, by the way, if you need to call me at any time, you can also use this a way."
Ling Xiaolu pinched his right earlobe: "Ling Long."
A floating mini-card popped out in front of him, a chat box.
Linglong: Did you see it? In the future, when it is inconvenient to speak, you can also use text to communicate.
Linglong: As long as you silently recite the content you want to enter, the system will automatically read it.
Lubi: Okay, you are the unparalleled dragon spirit in the universe.
Ling Long: … You have spoken out from your heart.
Lubi: Oh, I'm not very comfortable with retracting it, sorry for the tetragonal bug.
Linglong: … (keeps a rational professional smile)
Ling Xiaolu swiped his finger, swiped Ling Long's chat box away, and ordered again.
"Regional Channel - Jingzhe City."
System: Joined local area channel.
Another chat window popped up, and the Jingzhe City area channel was lively, and the players spoke quickly.
[Region] Chu Huan: Who said that Yuanting Town has an appointment to gather? Where
[Region] Bai Qi: Where there is a fan name, there should be one.
[Region] Qiuqiu Little Teddy: I searched for a long time and couldn't find the fan name and gold name, either red or green.
[Region]Girlman: You don't have a human pet tracking radar, so how could you be found.
[Region] Nia: But it's been said a lot, and someone should see it.
[Region]Hiba Tsukushi: I saw it! At the entrance to the forest out of town!
[Region] Ruan Qi: Who is who? ! Post a screenshot!
[Region]Hiroba: [Screenshot]
[Region] Qiao Yu: It's Kou's father!
[Region] Wei Zhengzhi: Don't say it, I'm going to find my father. Dad wait for me!
Ling Xiaolu walked out of the forest and saw a Shangyue named Dou Kou surrounded by a group of passers-by, almost unable to move.
He took a deep breath and swaggered over in front of Jin Ming. The legendary father Kou was tired of dealing with more and more leg huggers, completely unaware that he and his prey had just passed by.
Ling Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief after walking out of the sight of the other party. God knows how scared he was just now of being recognized.
It seems that this method is very effective, as long as someone does more cover, he is not afraid to expose doubts.
Linglong obediently flew beside him, disguised as a quiet and beautiful dragon, and made a systematic action from time to time to give full play to the most commonly used function of a non-combat small pet—playing cute.
The first level is over, the second level he needs to arm himself.
"Where can I learn skills?"
"The Elf School, commonly known as the Pet Exchange. You can learn most of the skills there. In addition, there are also some rare skills that need to be acquired through the skill book, and there are various ways to obtain them."
"Pet Exchange? Your game also specially designed a place for pet mating?" Ling Xiaolu asked contemptuously.
"Where did you think of it?" Ling Long was even more disdainful, "Pet exchange, when there was no player pet storefront, everyone bought and sold pets at the Elf School. This common name has not changed, and retail investors still like it. Trading there, its official name is rarely called.”
"… "
The pet exchange is the pet exchange. Ling Xiaolu found the largest building in the town. Sure enough, many retail investors took their babies to sell here, and some people were bargaining. Ling Xiaolu did not bring the baby with him. As soon as he entered the door, he was recruited by many sellers .
"The newly caught baby mammoth, a rare pet, can learn to mount!"
"Come and see my baby praying mantis, it's the best in agility, it's a must for martial arts!"
"The most suitable black sheep for beginners, jump off the building and sell it!"
Ling Xiaolu ignored them and walked straight to where the elf trainer was located. There were seven NPCs here, each with a different title.
"There are eight categories of pets in the game, namely insects, plants, beasts, undead, metal, elves, and dragons, as well as the human category played by the player. Each category has different subjects, and each category contains seven species. Babies with attributes, such as the wind-breathing pterosaur with the wind attribute under the dragon family, the cold-spirited ice dragon with the water attribute, the flame dragon with the fire attribute, etc., the seven attributes restrain each other, so what kind of baby should be selected when PKing But a university asks."
"You said there are eight classes of pets, but there are only seven teaching NPCs here."
"Because there is no human-type trainer, the pets played by the player have no exclusive skills, but they can learn all the skills of the other seven categories. This alone is enough to defy the sky. Think about it, insect-type babies are good at attacking, and plant-type babies are good at attacking. Add blood, and you can do it all by yourself!"
"But there is always an upper limit to learning, right?"
"Yes, the total value of a pet's talent is fixed, so choosing which skills to learn is also a university question. However, if you are not satisfied with your skills, you can wash them at any time, just pay a wash fee."
Ling Xiaolu asked the nearest beast trainer. A thick martial arts book fell from the sky. Players can read it. Each page has a skill written, but what puzzled Ling Xiaolu is that the names of these skills are all gray. .
"I can't learn these skills?"
"You need to see whether the learning conditions after the skills are met. General skills need to meet two conditions, talent points and money, and exclusive skills also have requirements for the breed of pets."
Ling Xiaolu casually flipped a page:
— Earthquake [Top Level]
- Talent Points: 240 points / Money: 200,000 Elf Coins / Exclusive: Mammoths
-Skill effect: Make the ground vibrate strongly, interrupting the movement of all targets within the range.
- Cooldown time: five minutes
"Oh? This is a very powerful PVP group attack skill. It also requires a lot of talent points. Learning this means giving up a lot of other skills, so think twice."
"I don't have enough talent points, and I don't have any money. How can I get talent points?"
"Do the task, accept the commission, but the fastest way is to eat."
"eat?"
"Take a pat on the waist, this is a quick gesture to open your luggage."
Ling Xiaolu opened the bag as he said. The novice's bag was very small, with only 24 grids.
"We gave you two talent pills, each of which can add 25 points of talent, enough for you to learn some single-target attack skills. If you want to increase your talent later, you can only rely on your own efforts."
Ling Xiaolu took the ball out of the bag and put it in his mouth. He thought that the props in the game would not have a taste, but he didn't expect that this talent ball melted in the mouth, and after swallowing it for a long time, there was still a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus between his lips and teeth.
"Delicious!" he said intoxicated.
"Does it taste good? Our technical department has put a lot of effort into sensory simulation, including various energy bottles, action potions, and synergistic foods in the game that have unique tastes, and even many foodies play this game just to Eat, the point is that you don’t have to worry about gaining weight no matter how you eat!”
"...your games will sell well." Ling Xiaolu said sincerely.
With the cultivation base and the start-up funds given by the system, some primary skill names were finally lit up.
He studied the skill books of the seven trainers in turn, and finally selected two—
- Frostbolt [Level 1]: Elf-type attack spells that cause a small amount of damage to the target and slow down the target at the same time. Consuming 15 points of talent, you can upgrade to tenth level.
- Earth Dun [Top]: Plant-based anti-control spells, remove the effect of slowing down and immobilize itself, and escape from the battle with the power of the earth. Consumes 35 points of talent.
Linglong looked at him with black lines on the side, one made the enemy unable to get close, and the other made him run fast, as expected of a pet thinking who didn't want to be a pet.
Ling Xiaolu obtained two skill books. He placed the books between his palms and patted them with both hands. The pages of the book instantly turned into a little fluorescent light and dissipated. At the same time, he also received a system prompt.
[System] You have mastered the new skills [Frozen Arrow] and [Earth Escape], please check them in the skill panel.
[System] You have obtained an achievement: Master 1 skill and reward 5 achievement points.
"How to quickly open the skill panel?"
"You need to make a seal like this."
Ling Long used his four-fingered claws to compare it. The structure was different and the volume was small. Ling Xiaolu couldn't see it clearly, so Ling Long had to transfer the picture in the beginner's description to him.
The gesture of summoning the skill panel is quite cool. The first three fingers are straight, and the last two fingers are bent. When they are together, it looks like a ninja gesture at first glance.
The skill panel is arranged in the order of the seven categories of pets. Currently, only the elves and plants have icons.
"Skills in the game can be triggered by actions or words, or a combination of the two. You can set the trigger conditions for each skill. Setting skills is very interesting. For example, you can bind Frostbolt with a casting action, or use The language 'BIUBIUBIU' is used to trigger, and you can also call 'BIUBIUBIU' while casting a spell. The third combination in the game is more common."
"..." Ling Xiaolu, "But the third one sounds the most middle-aged."
"Because there are quite a lot of skills in the game, there are physical attacks, magic attacks, and auxiliary skills. Many players like to organize them in this way, for example: flat chop + drink = whirlwind chop, flat chop + ha = flame chop, flat chop + roar = Chain Slash; or: Spell + Point = Frost Arrow, Spell + Line = Ice Dragon, Spell + Face = Ice Rain, which is easier to remember."
"Isn't it easier for me to directly use the name of the skill as the trigger condition?"
"It is strongly recommended that you don't do that. Otherwise, when you are PK, your opponent will know what move you are going to make next as long as you listen to it, so try to set it as personalized as possible." Ling Long couldn't hold back when he talked about it, "Actually, as a As a GM, I have seen too many creative players. Some people have to recite a section of the Heart Sutra before playing a skill. There are also players who know kung fu and bind their skills to martial arts moves. You must have a chance to see it.”
"How can you play like this? Let me think about it..."
Ling Xiaolu set up settings for the two newly learned skills. Putting two fingers together and connecting "don't come here" is Frostbolt, and doing a backflip on the spot and connecting with "I'm going" is earth escape.
Ling Long was a little worried: "Will it be a little more difficult for a backflip?"
"can you?"
Ling Xiaolu grew up learning hip-hop and playing parkour. This level of movement is really a trick for him. He tested it once on the spot, and every time he activated a skill, an icon would be refreshed in the center of the virtual interface, accompanied by a cool light and explosive sound effects, which made him appear to be possessed by a martial arts master.
"It's amazing!" Ling Long's eyes flashed, "I can't see that you are still a master. I am full of expectations for your future."
After learning the two skills, Ling Xiaolu was really poor.
"Is there any way to make money?"
"For beginners, if you want to make money, you must honestly accept the commission. You can get money after completing the commission. The materials collected during the commissioning process can also be sold to the player's store. The accumulated income is also good."
"So is there any way to make money fast?"
"That's even easier. You go out to find a place with the most people, and shout that I'm a human pet, and there will be a big money to adopt you. Then you don't have to do anything, just play whatever you want. Play."
Ling Xiaolu: Convex = _ = Convex
The regional channel that was minimized by Ling Xiaolu flickered, and he clicked it to see that someone had posted an announcement in it. Publishing an announcement requires paying a fee to the system. The wider the range of channels published, the higher the fee.
[Region] [Announcement] Dou Kou: Private message provides a reward of 500W for the coordinates of the fan name, and those who provide false information will offer a reward + block.
5000000!
Ling Xiaolu couldn't wait to open his suitcase and counted it twice, confirming that all his belongings were less than 500 coins.
"Look! I'm actually worth 5 million!"
Ling Long was very disdainful: "What is 5 million, just wait and see."
Sure enough, another one was quickly swiped under that announcement:
[Region] [Announcement] Ji Meng: The reward coordinate is 1000W, and the ID2000W is provided.
20000000! Dancing grass! Ling Xiaolu was about to scream: "This father's ID looks familiar!"
Linglong: ... Backbone!
"No, the one above is used to calling him father Kou, and the one below is usually called husband." Ling Long was afraid that he called him wrong, so he kindly explained.
Sure enough, the enthusiastic players have set an example for Ling Xiaolu.
[Region]Hei Zai: Husband is domineering!
[Region] Mo Yu: Husband, you are great!
[Region]Baaaa: The wall is changing so quickly, be careful that your father and son will be cut off by your honor.
[Region] Mo Yu: What's the matter? I don't want a father if I have a husband!
[Region] A Miao: Even those with the surname Ji dare to molest, are you not afraid of being banned
[Region] Porridge: The newcomer asks for an explanation, shouldn't it be the Ji I imagined
[Region]Dichlorvos: Swearing upstairs→_→
[Region] Porridge: ... Halo, I didn't mean that!
Ling Xiaolu was deeply inspired: "It's no wonder that everyone calls his husband not his father, Ji's father is really ugly."
Ling Long: … I really want to laugh, but I can’t be presumptuous.
"But they said they would be banned. What's wrong with this surname?"
"Do you really not know, or do you pretend not to know?"
"Isn't it a screen name?"
"No, it's your real name."
Using his real name in the game, this guy has such a big heart.
"I really don't know, please give me some popular science."
"Have you heard of the president of Xinshan Company?"
"do not know."
"Ji Taihuan."
"... Could it be that Ji Meng is your prince?"
"No, it's the president's nephew. But since President Ji has no children, many people in the game call him Prince Ji." Ling Long added in a low voice, "This is a black name, don't call him face to face."
Ling Xiaolu: …
Ling Xiaolu thought about the relationship between the characters: "So just now he said that the ring was given by the uncle, but it was actually given by your boss? Why didn't you say such important information just now?"
"The surname Ji is not very common. I thought ordinary people would notice it, at least those who played this game would have heard of it to some extent."
"I'm really sorry. In the past, I was addicted to studying, and I didn't pay attention to the question of President Xinshan's last name."
"It doesn't matter, at least now, you have had close contact with the Ji family, haven't you?"
"Can I choose not to contact him?" Ling Xiaolu asked. "The previous customer service girl was bluffing him. You even dared to lie to the president's nephew."
"Our company is user-oriented, all players are treated equally, and there is no bias at all."
"Isn't his money changed by the programmer?"
"Falsifying data is a violation of the game contract. Even the president's daughter is not allowed. All his game coins are bought through legitimate channels."
"But the money to buy the game currency comes from the player."
"This is true, but the player is a normal consumption, and he is also a legitimate income, there is nothing wrong with it."
"Wouldn't he really go to the technical department to check the truth?" Ling Xiaolu was still worried.
"I have to check it early, and I don't need to report the bug to the GM. You don't have to worry about this. He is not the only one active in the high-level family members in this game. Everyone consciously abides by the rules, otherwise the players would have caused trouble."
"That's fine." Ling Xiaolu walked out, preparing to study the commission that Ling Long said.
He left the door of the pet exchange, but bumped into Ji Meng head-on, and the other party discovered him almost at the same time.
"It's you!"
As soon as Ji Meng saw Ling Xiaolu, he immediately walked towards him. Ling Xiaolu panicked and stretched out two fingers:
"do not come!"
An ice arrow shot out, and the effect of freezing and deceleration appeared under Ji Meng's feet.
Ji Meng didn't expect that someone would dare to attack him head-on. He looked down and became annoyed: "You dare to slow me down?"
Ling Xiaolu didn't care what he said, and then he flipped backwards on the spot:
"I'm going!"
Ji Meng watched him disappear out of thin air, leaving only the dusty skill effect in place.
The first-level Frostbolt only lasted for 1.5 seconds before it ended. Ji Meng rushed over and looked around, unable to even see the shadow of Ling Xiaolu.
This was the second time he had run away face to face, and Ji Meng, who was furious, took out the big sword behind him and swung it heavily in the air, raising a cloud of dust.
"Damn! You wait for me!"
The author has something to say: * Gongshou are all children who are preparing to go to college, and their words and deeds are relatively immature. This is the smallest (the second most) protagonist CP I have ever written.
