Roland followed the rickety old man out of the church door. Although the morning sunshine was not too dazzling, facing the rising sun, he had to subconsciously close his eyes.
After waiting for a few seconds, Roland got used to the sunshine. When he opened his eyes, he saw the blue sky at first glance. It was pure and clean, not blue with a little gray like in modern society.
Under the blue sky, there is a large lake with phosphorescent light. There are a few black spots like leaves on the lake. If you look closely, you will find that they are fishing boats.
Around this large lake, there are many green tiles, red tiles, and buildings of varying heights. There are many paths among the buildings, and people walking among them are like black spots like ants.
A large bluestone bridge connects the two ends of the lake and divides the blue lake into two parts.
Roland stood on the edge of the rock, breathing the fresh air and listening to the rustle of leaves blown by the breeze. His mind seemed to be cleansed. After calming down for a long time, he said to the old man beside him: "Here Is it Hongtu Town? I think it’s more appropriate to call it Lakeside Town.”
Falcon's white eyebrows drooped, and he seemed a little disappointed: "This is a bad name... Mr. Roland, what are your plans next?"
Bad name? Does it sound bad, or does it mean something else? Roland was a little curious, but seeing that Falcon didn't look good, he didn't continue to ask. Now Roland really admires the game development company. This virtual online game is too real, whether it is the scene or the NPC's expression.
The most important thing is that the game completely restores human senses, such as vision, smell, taste, touch, etc. In addition to reducing the pain to one-tenth, of course, this is a measure to protect players. After all, if the pain of being injured or killed is really perfectly simulated, few players in the server, except for those masochists, can Hold on.
Hearing the old man's question, Roland thought for a while, and then said uncertainly: "It should be a casual walk, look around, and have fun."
Falcon looked at Roland in surprise, and his slightly narrowed old eyes opened wider: "It's that simple. Shouldn't it be a great ideal such as saving the world, defeating the demons, or slaying dragons and becoming famous?"
Hearing Falcon's half-surprised, half-ridiculous tone, Roland smiled and said slowly: "I am a very ordinary person. I don't know what you think of us... Sons of Gold, that's the word, but we are big Some people, when they come to this world, really just have the idea of walking around, seeing, and having fun. Maybe our ideals will change in the future, but that's how it is for now."
This was Roland's true words. At first he thought it was a mission, but looking at Falcon, he really couldn't regard him as a pure NPC. After all, it was too real.
Roland is not a fool. How he should talk to game NPCs and how he should talk to real people are two completely different things. Although it was obvious that Falcon was an NPC, Roland felt that he was talking to a real person.
When chatting with a gentle old man, you don't need to be too sincere, but at least you can't be too perfunctory.
Falcon looked at Roland, a strange light flashed in his old eyes. He had never seen such a strange human being as Roland. Although he has an immortal body, his biggest ideal is to walk around, see and play.
What would happen if such abilities were given to other people? He must have been so arrogant that he didn't know where to go. Success and fame are just trivial things. Having the ambition to conquer the world is even considered normal.
The golden son in front of me actually just wants to walk around, see, and have fun? Not many people would believe it, because it goes against common sense. But Falcon felt that he would believe it. He had seen many professionals, all of whom were extremely violent, but the person in front of him had no trace of aggression on his body, as clean as a newborn baby. generally.
"In your original plane, there must have been no wars or killings." Falcon looked at the clear eyes of the young man opposite and sighed: "It's so good."
"Actually, there are." Roland shook his head helplessly: "It's just that the country I live in has always had good security, singing and dancing, peace and prosperity. Although there are occasional weird things, they are far away from me."
For Roland, this is a very common explanation. But for Falcon, this is a naked show off. The refreshing morning breeze blew by, blowing the old man's white robe, and he sighed longly: "It would be great if I could live in your world."
Roland looked at the old priest with interest.
Because of his university major, he has also been exposed to the so-called intelligent AI. Naturally, he has not had the opportunity to meet the famous Alpha Pig, but he has seen Penguin's intelligent AI, 'Xiaowei', a few times.
In normal daily conversations, 'Xiao Wei' does a good job, no different from ordinary people, but when it comes to some deeper conversations, such as outlook on life, world view, or even lamenting the Spring and Autumn Period, 'Xiao Wei' The 'IQ' is obviously not enough. It will answer very rigidly, with a very mechanical and hard feeling.
But the old man in front of him, whether it was his tone and demeanor when chatting, or even his emotions such as sadness and envy, were just like normal people.
Roland doesn't think Penguin's 'Xiao Wei' can do this. Moreover, according to the official website of the game, there are more than 15 billion intelligent beings in this game world, and every intelligent NPC is no different from a real person.
What kind of black technology has Penguin Company, which is famous for its copycats, developed? It’s so scary.
Before entering the game, Roland did not believe in such propaganda. Game companies always exaggerate their products. But looking at the old man named Falcon in front of him, he believed it, and he could imagine how wonderful the world would be if all other NPCs were like this, with their own personalities and souls.
With the real scenery and fully realistic NPCs, Roland felt that his long-cooled game heart seemed to be burning again.
He slapped his thigh hard, turned around and asked, "Mr. Falcon, how to get to the nearest big city from here?"
Falcon was surprised. The young man who had been so calm just now suddenly had a strange enthusiasm. The other party's eyes were still clear and clean, but there was a glimmer of crystal light in the pupils like clear springs.
"Go along the main road to the west. If you walk, you will be able to see Delbon City in about four hours." Falcon paused, and then continued: "When you go to Delbon City, it is best not to leave the main road. There is a mountain road outside Hongtu Town. There are maple forests on both sides of the road. There are many giant spiders in it. Generally, they will not take the initiative to come to our human territory, but if they are really hungry, they will go crazy and prey on humans."
"Thank you, old man."
Roland waved to Falcon with his back and walked down the gray stone steps of the mountain road. The morning sun was as bright as orange, and the mountain breeze was like gauze. As he walked slowly down, the imaginary and real noises of people in the town also reached his ears.
Roland wanted to open his arms and embrace the blue sky and white clouds, but that seemed too far-fetched.
He just pursed his lips and whispered softly:
Fran world, here I come.
