What followed was a simple dialogue that allowed Zhang Yi to understand some of the story background of the game.
The hunter he now plays is the recommendation team of the fifth investigation team, in order to go to the New World to find the secrets about the migration of ancient dragons.
And it has been forty years since the first investigation.
Thinking of the Nergigante in the promotional concept art and the Fire Dragon in the promotional CG animation, Zhang Yi's heart was full of expectations.
At the same time, looking at the surrounding cabins filled with hunters, I felt even more emotional.
There are so many partners in the fifth-phase investigation team in front of us, and there are also four-phase investigation teams ahead.
Once you actually go to the New World, you should all be teammates you can recruit.
As for the familiar hunter with a mohawk in front of him, according to the general storyline, he will obviously be a good partner of the player.
Judging from the plot of the general story, there should be a hunter joining the protagonist group in each investigation office.
Finally, under the leadership of the protagonist, the secret of the ancient dragon's migration was revealed, and the protagonist finally became the legendary Blue Star.
Although he has just started the game, Zhang Yi has already figured out the plot content of the game.
And just when Zhang Yi was fantasizing, the hull in the game suddenly shook violently!
The lights flickered, and all the books, wine glasses, and food on the table fell to the ground.
The entire ship's deck began to tilt.
The hunters inside the cabin were also in a mess.
The guy with a mohawk who was a member of the hunter recommendation team hurriedly ran towards the deck.
At the same time, Yang Zhangyi's meatball-headed partner next to him also shouted a line: "Partner, let's go out and take a look!"
The investigator who was his partner hurriedly ran towards the deck, and Zhang Yi's character automatically followed.
Also following behind was a black and white Ellu cat that jumped up and ran out.
When we came to the deck, we saw that the originally calm sea was now rough.
Huge waves crashed on the deck.
The entire ship shook violently, and all the hunters could only hold on to the ropes and look at everything around them in panic.
'Wow! '
Just when everyone was at a loss, a strange black creature as huge as a volcano suddenly rose from the ocean.
When we arrived at the ship's overtime, we saw the originally calm sea suddenly undulating violently under the night sky.
A black volcano suddenly rose from the bottom of the sea, and the ship on the back of the volcano was cut in half by the sky.
In the midst of the storm, Zhang Yi noticed that this huge black volcano was not the volcano he imagined.
This is actually a living creature!
As the huge 'black volcano' continued to rise out of the water, the boat on which the hunter of the fifth phase of the group was sitting slipped from its back, and the protagonist in the game was involuntarily thrown off.
After a while, the camera came to the back of the creature, surrounded by black rocks and flowing magma. As for the other hunters, it was obvious that they had been separated.
At this time, the receptionist's voice came from the distance.
At the same time, some specific operational guidelines appeared.
Climb, run, etc…
Obviously, like most games, this is the plot and tutorial, telling players how to play.
But what really surprised Zhang Yi was that during the conversation with the receptionist, he also learned the name of this volcanic creature: Lava Dragon!
"Isn't this the monster I'm going to fight in the future? It's such a big monster, it can't even be considered a pedicure! It's really just a pedicure skin!" Zhang Yi, who was in front of the computer, was completely shocked.
Originally, he thought that the Brutal Jaw Dragon, the Fire Dragon in the previous trailer, and the Nergigante in the promotional concept painting were already too big.
Does this tell him that this volcanic island-like creature is also an ancient dragon
But as shocking as it is shocking, this plot actually has basically no content. It just simply tells players how to operate in the game.
After one round, Zhang Yi basically understood it and learned a characteristic at the same time.
"Like the undead, they can't jump on the spot, but they have one more attribute than the undead: they can't be harmed when falling, which is invincible!" Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his playful pink-haired hunter in the game. .
Following the receptionist all the way, Zhang Yi soon controlled the character to climb to the top of the Molten Dragon.
Then a cutscene is triggered, in which the hunter in the game grabs the pterodactyl in the air with a hook and leads the investigator to escape from the body of the lava dragon.
The cutscene of leaving the Molten Dragon's body reminded Zhang Yi of the scene in "Dark Souls" when he left the high wall of Lothrik and the Northern Yard of the Undead. They were a bit similar!
In addition, the tone of this game is about hunting dragons, isn't it implying something
Inexplicably, Zhang Yi had a very strange feeling in his heart.
But before he could think about it, as the pterosaur passed through the clouds, he was shocked by the beautiful scenery that appeared in front of him.
The sun rises over the sea and the outline of the New World comes into view.
Huge ancient trees reaching into the sky, and herbivorous dragons living on the coast.
The tranquility and tranquility, the scenery that only exists in the fantasy world, made Zhang Yi open his eyes wide.
This picture performance can definitely be regarded as a first-class level.
What's more important is this unique art design, which is simply amazing.
Entering the New World, Zhang Yi figured out the basic situation with the receptionist Wan Zitou.
By the way, I learned basic operations such as reading a map from the receptionist. Next was the main mission of finding the hunter base.
However, Zhang Yi did not immediately rush to advance the main task.
Instead, he looked at the surrounding environment curiously.
The blue sky, the floating white clouds, the waves and the beach in the distance, and the blowing sea breeze swaying the vegetation, accompanied by bursts of insects and birds.
Passing a small corner in the dense forest, we are greeted by a brand new scenery.
On the wide land in front, there are many herbivorous dragons looking for food. According to the receptionist next to them, these are extremely docile dragons.
Zhang Yi carefully controlled his hunter and ran to a herbivorous dragon that was eating to take a closer look.
After discovering Zhang Yi, the uninvited guest, the other party really had no intention of attacking. Instead, he was frightened and ran in the opposite direction.
The shock and tension of the molten mountain dragon at the beginning of the entire game, and then the tranquility of the ancient tree forest, made him feel very good.
The next plot is similar to the previous escape from the Molten Dragon, except that players are taught normal game operations when escaping from the Molten Dragon.
This section of the ancient tree forest teaches players the normal game system, such as how to read the map, collect resources on the map, what is the use of the green guide bug, avoid the thief dragon in the grass, and climb vines.
"Why don't you have any weapons? You can't fight!" Zhang Yi felt a little sore in his balls.
Although the scenery was beautiful, he still wanted to try the game's combat system with a weapon. After all, hunting combat was the core no matter how he looked at it.
After complaining for a while, Zhang Yi continued to advance the plot.
Follow the investigators deeper and deeper.
When he was about to arrive at the Star Base, the base of the investigation team, he was attacked by a ferocious jackal, but luckily the investigation team leader saved him.
As for the Big Ferocious Jackal Dragon, it became the food of the Barbarian Jaw Dragon.
"Is this a Barbarian Jaw Dragon? I thought this was just a weak little monster!"
In the cutscene, Zhang Yi in the game expressed emotion when he saw the Barbarian Jaw biting the ferocious jackal.
After all, in the previously released promotional video animation, the Barbarian Jaw Dragon was first beaten violently by a hunter, and then by a male Fire Dragon, giving him the illusion of being very weak.
But now looking at that huge body, Zhang Yi had a completely different feeling, that is, it was a bit fierce!
After surviving the danger, we finally arrived at the Star Base.
A huge stronghold built of wood and animal bones, the entire Star Base looks like a city, which has a great visual impact.
Inside the base, all the members of the fifth phase group that we saw earlier have arrived and are in the process of transporting supplies.
After a subsequent conversation with the Commander-in-Chief, Zhang Yi also visited the Star Stronghold under the leadership of the investigation squad leader.
A high-tower design, from the bottom floor to the top floor, each floor has different places and functions.
The lowest level is the commercial area, and going up is the processing room for forging weapons and armor, the dining area for eating, and the hunters' residences.
In addition, there are zoological research institutes, botanical research institutes, maritime merchants, headquarters... Each scene has its own characteristics.
For example, in the restaurant, Elle the cat wears an eye patch, and its assistant chef is busy processing various ingredients.
In the processing room, craftsmen wielding hammers were also constantly forging equipment for hunters.
The entire camp is full of life, and every hunter performs his or her duties.
After a brief visit and introduction, the captain of the investigation team took Zhang Yi to the hunter's cabin and asked him to choose a weapon to start the official hunting mission.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's finally coming!"
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yi was also a little excited.
Despite the previous series of guidance, I felt the beauty of the New World and the splendor of the star stronghold.
But he was still looking forward to the hunt soon.
After all, this game is called Monster Hunter, and hunting is the main theme!
But after the excitement, Zhang Yi fell into a difficult choice.
Because there are so many weapons in this game!
It’s a pain to have so many weapons to choose from!
I always feel that everyone is very strong!
