As Deputy Captain Carter led the team back to the village on the vast Nehemiah Plain, the group finally arrived at their foothold.
And the sight of the sight also caused Rody, whose head was dizzy from alcohol, to shiver instantly.
"Nolan Village".
Looking at the wooden sign at the entrance of the village, Luo Di sat on the horse in a daze, forgetting to dismount for a while.
"Lodi?"
The deputy captain, Carter, led the horse to the stable, and asked a question back. The latter swallowed hard, got off the horse stiffly, and followed with a limp.
Like all the villages on the border of the Karen Kingdom, "Norlan Village" is small in scale, with only three or four dirty streets in total. As the territory of a typical feudal dynasty, Nolan Village owns a manor, which belongs to Ke Lord Ke's property - surrounding the manor, surrounded by spread farmhouses and fields, with a population of only two hundred, a blacksmith shop, and a simple small square. The largest building should be the windmill beside the small river. At this time, the farmer has returned to the village, and the huge fan blades are no longer spinning in the setting sun. The atmosphere here is peaceful and peaceful. Occasionally, you can hear the dogs barking and the chickens crowing in the village. After finishing the farm work, the farmers are talking about various topics. Everything looks like what a normal village should look like.
There are no walls or any protective facilities around Nolan Village, let alone permanent troops, but because of its special location on the border, the supreme lord, Duke Luciferon, made an exception and set up two permanent scouting teams here. And Kirk, the original lord of the manor here, basically comes here once a year, so the biggest leader of this village is the butler sent by the lord to guard the manor—just because the scout team belongs to the army directly under the Duke, the butler It is basically impossible to control the team that Rody is in at this time.
It was getting late, and the deputy captain of the scouts, Carter, disbanded the team. He carried a sack of orc heads and walked to the room of the commander of the two teams, Second Lieutenant Sodin. However, because of the alcohol, Luo Di followed several "comrades in arms" to the shed where the soldiers eat together at the entrance of the village.
His gait was a little wandering, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of the wound or the sip of strong wine. Roddy rubbed his eyes several times, but he still felt like he was in a dream—because he gradually realized an important issue that had been neglected before...
Everything I felt in my body seemed a little too real.
The villagers in the field of vision are dressed in simple clothes. Occasionally, there are herdsmen driving their flocks past on the dirt road across the village. Children playing with mud on the ground are playing and running past. Cooking smoke...everything made him feel that there were not so many realistic details in the game.
Walking all the way into the simple "canteen", Rody sat on a wooden bench, listening to the "comrades" who were supposed to be NCs talking about today's battle. uncontrollable panic...
What exactly is going on
There are many questions in his heart—what he wants to know most now is...why does he seem to have entered a place that seems to exist in reality
What about game servers? What about the menu? What about the exit game option
For a modern person who used to think about going to McDonald's tonight, it is unrealistic to suddenly come to such a world without a mess in his mind.
"exit the game…"
He started to try the voice commands of "Cracked Earth" in a low voice. As a holographic realistic online game, Rody would rather believe that this is a UG reversion of the game, but as the command to quit the game failed, his mood sank little by little. go down.
"…this is not OK."
"It's not okay to force a logout...?"
"Is there a mistake..."
The scouts who were eating next to him looked at Rody muttering something they didn't understand, and their eyes looked a little strange, but Rody obviously didn't have time to answer them, and he still bowed his head and said something like a mage reciting a spell...
All commands could not take effect, Rody pursed his lips tightly, thought for a long time, and finally decided to make the last attempt—he no longer used Chinese, but spoke in Bullinga:
"Character attribute panel."
"Fuck!"
The scout who was holding a bowl of soup on the side sprayed the table all over the table because of his exclamation—Rody apologized to the other party in a hurry, and then sat back on the spot, looking forward with excitement and surprise.
Looking at the clear list of attributes, he immediately decided in his heart that this was a reversion UG in "Cracked Earth". He was full of joy and prepared to call out the "Exit Game" option, but the anticipation on his face froze in the next instant. face.
still none? !
The coolness in his heart gradually permeated, and Rody immediately started various attempts, listing almost all the menus that could be called up, including the task bar, equipment bar, character attribute bar, etc., but he couldn't find the exit menu at all. The "main menu" of the game!
The thought in my heart that I was never sure about resurfaced again—could it be... I am not in the game world, but really in the real world
After taking a few deep breaths, Rody suddenly thought of a way to confirm whether he was in the game or not—although all the food in "Cracked Earth" can be eaten, it never brings taste stimulation. Just like drinking alcohol will not lead to drunkenness, food will always be tasteless, because the holographic simulation technology simply cannot meet this requirement, and the game company has never done redundant research in this area...
He lowered his head, looked at the dark piece of unleavened bread in front of him, swallowed, and solemnly broke off a piece.
Looking at the bread crumbs falling on the table, Rody's heart has actually sunk to the bottom, because there are no such realistic physical effects in the game—but he still stuffed the piece of bread into his mouth nervously, slowly chewing.
Sour, bitter, dry. The taste of black bread is ten thousand times worse than the toast that Rody bought in the supermarket, but the bad taste of the bread is a bit insignificant compared to the fact it proves...
At this point, he finally began to realize that he might never go back to his old life.
This is the real world, and he actually traveled to the same real world as "Cracked Earth"? !
Forcing himself to chew the bread nervously, Rody was stunned for a few minutes, and then began to try to adapt to the facts at hand.
When technical nerds are rarely emotional, Rody will not be at a loss like a woman for several days before recovering. He thought about it, and decided to re-examine his attributes.
And then... he sighed heavily.
The panel full of titles and various values is now empty like a sweeping street, with a basic occupation name of [Legion Soldier] hanging alone, and the "Level 1" behind it looks like the goddess of fate raised a finger on her. middle finger, making his lips tremble twice for no reason.
Down is a row of properties:
Strength: 13 (+3)
Dexterity: 8 (+1)
Spirit: 6 (+1)
Constitution: 9 (+3)
Intelligence: 5 (+1)
The attributes in brackets are the growth value brought by the basic profession [Legion Soldier], and [Legion Soldier], which is known as the first choice of the human physics profession, was also Rody’s original choice, so he is no stranger to this profession. The attributes in the game are It can't be allocated by itself, and each upgrade is automatically increased or decreased according to the characteristics of the profession, so he doesn't care about these, as long as the level is raised, everything is easy to talk about.
As soon as he had these thoughts in his head, he couldn't help but feel a little funny—is it possible to upgrade in the real world
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the experience bar—the expression suddenly became very exciting. The 159 experience obtained by killing the orcs is clearly displayed there.
Laughing helplessly, Rody temporarily accepted this ridiculous world. Immediately, he began to think about his battle today—after thinking about it, he actually gained quite a lot of experience. After all, the Nolan Village at this time is probably no different from the Nolan Village in the later "novice village" period. At that time, who would dare to trouble the orcs at level 1? It's all about killing wolves in the wild, running errands between villages to deliver letters, and catching a few rabbits. But what I encountered yesterday was the orc reconnaissance team, but they were all level 2-4 guys. For beginner players, such enemies are a headache, because they are in groups, and occasionally there will be wolves to help them. It's bad luck.
Rody looked at it, and he needed 300 experience points to be promoted to the second level. At this time, he was still short of 141 points, which was more than half. He called out the character equipment column again—head, neck, shoulders, chest, arms, wristbands, belt, legs, feet, special accessories, rings, left and right hand weapons, a total of fourteen equipment columns appeared in front of him at a glance.
Of course, it's mostly empty.
Counting the two ring bars, a total of 14 positions are enough to show the importance of "equipment" to game players. In the late game, it often happens that the attributes attached to a piece of equipment are more than ten times the attributes of the character itself. All of the "High Play" players are powerful players with top-quality equipment.
Rody thinks that his ability is not inferior to anyone. If he hadn't switched to V later than others, he might have already been at the forefront of the first tier. Equipment, a short sword with an attack power that can't be lowered makes him no different from NC passers-by. Only there is an ornament on the neck to indicate "equipped".
Rody didn't look carefully, he only thought it was an ordinary chain, because there were no additional attributes of the equipment in the attribute bar.
Thinking of the orc horn bow confiscated yesterday, Rody felt better. He exhaled from the attribute bar and looked at his HP—72\/90. He actually felt strangely tight in his heart, but shook his head. He also knew this There are no "blood bottles" or herbs to speed up blood recovery.
After closing these options, Rody turned his eyes back to his eyes and couldn't help thinking about his current situation.
This is Nolan Village...Nolan Village...
His brows became tighter and tighter, and he was struggling to recall his experience in the game—hasn't Nolan Village been completely destroyed by the orcs a long time ago? Before Rody traveled here, it had long been a supply station in the orc-occupied area. How could there be humans? !
It's not just Nolan Village. In Rody's "Cracked Earth" game career, the orcs who infiltrated and raided from the northwest almost swallowed up the entire western territory of the Karen Kingdom... This is in line with the incompetence and spinelessness of the Luciferon family. The royal family has an inevitable connection, and Houlier City, which is the headquarters of the Luciferon family, has long been a bridgehead for the orcs to invade the Karen Kingdom...
The unknown environment made Rody more and more irritable. He tried to calm his shortness of breath, got up and walked to the pool next to the shed to wash his face, but was completely stunned when he reached out to touch the water.
A strange face was reflected in the reflection of the clear water. Rody swore that he would never forget what he looked like, but at this moment...he really understood what was wrong.
It seems that I have become another person, and I have come to this weird game world, and I am so lucky to be at a weird point in time!
Not far away, several scouts who used to be dismissive of Roddy, after experiencing today's incident, obviously respected him. Seeing him staring at the water basin in a daze, they didn't dare to say the words of ridicule, but then these The scouts gradually became aware of the strangeness of the atmosphere—
Because Roddy stared at the pool for five minutes.
"Lo...Lodi?"
"kindness?"
Rody who was awakened suddenly raised his head, and his confused eyes gradually regained focus. He looked at the scout who asked aloud, and said without thinking: "What day is today?"
This sentence pattern is very weird, and the scout who was about to answer the question was stunned for a moment. He wanted to ask if the other party was stupid, but thinking of Rody's performance today, he still replied cautiously: "April 10th."
"which year?"
This question made the other soldiers in this simple shed look back. The fact that several scouts died today made the atmosphere here very dull, but Rody’s question obviously made some people laugh. He replied cursingly: "Did you fall off the horse today, you little brat? Didn't you know in what year?"
The disdainful tone proved that he didn't take Rody seriously at all, but the surviving scouts of the second team had a much better attitude. They swallowed and answered honestly: "This year is the 8th year of the Elon calendar."
After saying this, everyone saw that Rody's body trembled suddenly.
