Creating a Virtual World

Chapter 23: A player who loves to make trouble

"What does she want to do?"

"I have no idea."

Jiang Qiao and Hai Lan followed the black-haired Changqing player, whose real name is Xia Shan, in ghost form.

The player named Black-haired Changqing had no idea that there were two GM ghosts following her.

Today, the Holy Spirit welcomed seventy-two new members. Most of these seventy-two new members were leveling up by killing slimes and doing novice tasks outside Lionheart City. Their minds were full of thoughts about improving their own levels, obtaining more powerful equipment, and learning more powerful skills after changing jobs.

This is also what normal players should do.

But there is a group of players who will never follow the routines set by the game. They will look for some other new ways to play under the rules of the game. Jiang Qiao likes to call it evil ways or tricky routines.

In the old days of computers, Jiang Qiao also liked to use some tricks, such as using map bugs to pass levels, blocking monsters' positions to kill them, and looking for game loopholes.

It looks like Xia Shan is really planning to do something tricky.

Jiang Qiao followed behind Xia Shan and watched her reach out and touch the wall of the building in Lionheart City, then she moved to another wooden box and tapped it lightly with her fingers.

"Don't try it. Map bugs don't exist in the Holy Spirit." Jiang Qiao floated cross-legged beside Xia Shan and complained silently. In the floating state, Jiang Qiao was not controlled by gravity and was slowly turning in circles in the air.

Xia Shan couldn't hear Jiang Qiao's complaints. After confirming that the touch of the wall was different from that of the wooden box, she saw a building that made her eyes light up.

Life Career Guild.

"She wants to be an architect?" Hai Lan still doesn't understand what Xia Shan wants to do.

"There is no architect in the Holy Spirit's life professions, although there is a manor system." Jiang Qiao floated into the life profession guild before Xia Shan and saw the most important NPCs in the life professions.

Life and career mentor Glitt.

In Jiangqiao's setting, players can choose a life profession at level 1. Life profession is also a complex system in Holy Spirit, which includes two major categories: gathering and manufacturing, such as alchemists, tailors, cooks, armorers, enchanters, alchemy engineers, miners, fishermen, etc.

Manufacturing and gathering also have different ways of playing. Of course, Jiangqiao will not make this gameplay as complicated as in reality. The manufacturing process of each production profession is like one or more small games.

Jiang Qiao saw Xia Shan about to enter the Life Occupation Guild, and directly used his authority to attach his consciousness to the Life Occupation mentor Grete.

Gretel is an old man with a white beard, who looks a bit like Gandalf the Grey.

Now all the players are busy leveling up, and Xia Shan is the only one coming to the Life Guild.

Xia Shan walked into the guild, looked around, and immediately ran to the life and career mentor played by Jiang Qiao.

Under Jiang Qiao's explanation, a translucent window appeared in front of Xia Shan, who was approaching her life career mentor.

There are four options on the window: Learn about life and career, Experience life and career, Choose life and career, and Leave.

Xia Shan stretched out her finger and clicked on the option to learn about life and career.

"Young Holy Spirit, is there anything I can help you with?" Jiang Qiao acted as an activated NPC and communicated with Xia Shan.

If other players want to communicate with the career mentor at this time, they will see another picture of the career mentor answering them.

"Hello, I want to experience a life career." Xia Shan expressed her request in words. Some VR online games can already trigger options by voice, so it is natural that Holy Spirit can do it as well.

"Then what do you want to experience?" When Jiang Qiao finished speaking, a large number of options quickly appeared in the translucent window in front of Xia Shan.

"Alchemy Engineer."

Xia Shan seemed to have made the decision long ago, and made her choice directly after seeing similar options.

"Alchemy engineers are skilled craftsmen who make alchemical machinery. They are a good choice. Once you enter this portal, you will experience the charm of this profession."

Jiang Qiao waved his hand and a blue portal appeared beside him, and a prompt popped up in front of Xia Shan.

'Do you want to enter the life career of an alchemist engineer?'

Xia Shan directly clicked yes, and the next second her figure disappeared in front of Jiang Qiao, who also walked into the portal. At Jiang Qiao's original position, a new life career mentor appeared and was waiting for the player to arrive.

The other side of the portal is also in the alchemy workshop inside the professional guild, not another independent space, so Xia Shan and others can just push the door and leave.

The alchemy workshop is filled with various basic tools that alchemists need for their work.

Jiang Qiao acted like a qualified NPC and stood at the door waiting for Xia Shan to finish her experience.

After Xia Shan entered the alchemy workshop, she began looking for tools. The tools she was looking for were not the two basic production tools commonly used by alchemy engineers: screwdrivers and mechanical templates.

She found a charcoal stove, an iron kettle and a small iron windmill.

Xia Shan lit the stove and filled the iron kettle with water. After turning the prop into an iron kettle filled with water, she placed the kettle on the stove and started to burn it.

"Why doesn't she go back to the real world if she wants to drink water?" Hai Lan Yiran followed Jiang Qiao in ghost form. Jiang Qiao was so surprised at this moment that he didn't know what to say.

"My God... this girl doesn't want to drink boiled water, she wants to start the first industrial revolution in the Holy Spirit!" Jiang Qiao said to Hai Lan in his own consciousness.

"What is the First Industrial Revolution?" Hai Lan asked.

'You don't need to understand.'

Jiang Qiao felt a little nervous when he saw Xia Shan staring at the kettle excitedly.

Players are worthy of being players. Their creativity and ability to cause trouble are really strong.

But Jiang Qiaoyi thought that he had already taken this into consideration when he was in Creator Mode. The game Holy Spirit possessed the advantages of both simulation and playability.

Xia Shan was staring at the prop in front of her called "a kettle full of water" with excitement.

Normal players would be so excited when seeing some epic or artifact equipment, but Xia Shan is different, because this kettle full of water has an attribute underneath.

'Temperature of the liquid in the kettle: 62°.'

This attribute continued to rise under the heating of the stove below. After half a minute, the kettle was boiled. When Xia Shan saw the steam gradually coming out of the spout of the kettle and successfully blowing the blades of the mini windmill.

She jumped up with excitement, she really jumped up!

Holy Spirit actually simulated the physical effect of steam! This is something that no other VR online game in the world can do, not even the most popular Dispute. There is not even a setting to heat objects in Dispute. The flames in it are just flying props used to deal damage!

This game has a lot of potential! Play on the manufacturing side!

When Xia Shan had this excited thought, the flame under the stove suddenly went out without warning, and the steam in the kettle also disappeared instantly.

Extinguished? Why... there is something burning underneath.

When Xia Shan was puzzled, she glanced at the system prompts, which showed a series of prompts indicating that her MP was reduced.

'You have ignited a micro fire, which consumes 1 MP per second.'

"You have lost 1 MP."

"You have lost 1 MP."

A newcomer is born with only 100 MP points, and the recovery rate is only a few tenths of that, so Xia Shan received a new prompt a hundred seconds later.

"Your MP has been exhausted and the micro-fire source has gone out."

"How can there be such a setting..." Xia Shan looked at the steam that had completely disappeared, and felt that her grand vision for the future had dissipated within the limitations of MP.

PS: Spoiler: This girl's ambition will come true later. Well, it's a new day again~
