Seven or eight days passed in a flash, Zhang Yang received his diploma and went home, and bought a gaming helmet on the way back. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the launch of "Miracle". According to the official website, "Miracle" will be launched globally on the 30th of this month.
"Bang bang bang!" There was a knock on the door.
It’s not that Zhang Yang’s house doesn’t have a doorbell, but that thing is a second-hand item from more than ten years ago and was scrapped several years ago.
"Who is it?" Zhang Yang walked to the door and looked out through the peephole.
A fat man was standing at the door, sweating profusely, and fanning himself with his hands.
Seeing this familiar figure, Zhang Yang couldn't help but get excited. He quickly opened the door and said with a smile, "Fatty Han, long time no see!"
Han Guang was startled by Zhang Yang's enthusiasm and couldn't help but scold him with a smile: "Fat brother doesn't owe you any money, why are you so excited? Hey, hey, hey, you are not a homosexual!"
Han Guang is Zhang Yang's best friend since they were wearing crotchless pants. They went to elementary school, middle school and high school together, and they fought each other all the way to become friends. However, Zhang Yang was admitted to university later, while Han Guang entered society earlier, but this did not affect their friendship. However, Zhang Yang clearly remembers that "a year later", Han Guang was seriously injured in a street fight and died before he could be sent to the hospital!
At that time, this incident was a huge blow to Zhang Yang, and he didn't smile for more than half a year!
In this life, no matter what, I must not let this fat man have an accident again! Zhang Yang swore in his heart, but showed a calm smile on his face, making himself look no different from usual, and said: "Today is not a day off, why did you come to me?"
Subconsciously, Zhang Yang didn't want anyone to know what happened to him, back to five years ago... Firstly, it sounded too unbelievable, and secondly, if it was exposed, he would most likely be caught and used as a guinea pig for research, or he would suffocate himself forever in his heart!
Han Guang pouted and said, "Rest for nothing! I quit my job! That bastard manager is a beast. He takes advantage of female employees all day long. As a result, I caught him molesting a new female colleague in the break room yesterday. I couldn't help it and beat him up... Then, both I and the female colleague were fired!"
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Did that female colleague blame you for getting her into trouble, saying that you were just trying to catch a rat?"
"Hey, you guessed it all?" Han Guang yelled, "Did that woman get kicked in the head by a donkey? I saved her out of righteousness, but she blamed me instead. If I hadn't helped, she would have been killed by that damn manager..."
Zhang Yang smiled in his heart. How could he have guessed this? Han Guang had told him this in person in his previous life! Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is the damn world!"
Han Guang sighed and said, "You're right, this world is such a fucking shit!"
The two entered the house. Han Guang unceremoniously took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, bit off the bottle cap with his teeth, and gulped down the beer. He drank the whole bottle in two or three gulps, wiped his mouth, and said, "Great!"
Zhang Yang sat opposite him and asked, "So what kind of job are you planning to find?"
"I came here today just to tell you this!" Han Guang said mysteriously, "Have you heard of "Miracle"? "
"Is it the 'Miracle' that's advertised on TV every day?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
Han Guang immediately became interested and said, "Yes, it's the 'Miracle'! I heard from a relative who sells gaming helmets that there are a lot of people playing this game, and I can make a fortune from it!"
"Oh, how to get rich?" Zhang Yang vaguely remembered that Han Guang also used this trick to persuade him to play "Miracle" with him in his previous life, but he was never interested. Now that he thought about it, if he had listened to Han Guang's advice and entered "Miracle" on the first day of the server opening, maybe he wouldn't have had such regrets later!
Han Guang looked confident and said, "My relative has some connections. He said that when the game reaches level 20, the exchange of gold coins and real money will be opened. As long as we can get enough gold coins, why worry about not getting rich?"
"Okay, I'm going to play this game anyway!" Zhang Yang smiled and nodded in agreement. He had countless ways to make money in his mind, and he could make a fortune by just giving Fatty some pointers. Of course, he would not hide anything from his friends.
Han Guang was filled with joy and said, "If we two brothers work together, we will be able to overcome all obstacles and be invincible! By the way, Xiao Yangzi, if we make a lot of money, how should we spend it? Should we hire dozens of bikini beauties and fill the whole room for Fatty to see?"
"Get out, you pervert!" Zhang Yang said in feigned anger.
Han Guang grinned lasciviously, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth. This fat guy had a dream of building the largest gang in history since he was a child - especially after he read the comic "King of Gangs".
"By the way—" Zhang Yang said casually, "What race and profession do you plan to choose?"
"Elves, thieves!" Han Guang answered without hesitation. Obviously he knew something about this game, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned these two terms so casually.
Zhang Yang didn't know what profession Han Guang chose in his previous life, but playing a thief... Zhang Yang said: "I advise you to change your profession. Well, playing a hunter should be more suitable for you!"
"Why?" Han Guang asked in confusion.
"Because your carefree personality makes you not suitable for a rogue who requires fancy movements! Not only rogues, but melee professions are not suitable for you! You should play a hunter, um, a beastmaster hunter. The pet will fight the monster in front, and you just stand there and shoot. It is much safer and more reliable! It is also good for dungeons. The output is not low, and you have the magical skill of 'faking death' to clear aggro. It is a great tool for pioneering new land!" Zhang Yang bewitched.
Han Guang thought about it and nodded, thinking that what Zhang Yang said made a lot of sense! He looked at Zhang Yang and said, "I didn't expect you know so much!"
Zhang Yang smiled slightly and found an excuse: "Since I decided to play, I looked up some information. I saw this on the forum!"
"Oh—" The naive fat man immediately believed Zhang Yang, "Then I'll try with the hunter!"
"Once your character reaches level 5, try buying a few bottles of port liquor and then handing them over to an NPC named 'Old Drunkard Swan'."
"Why?"
"I saw from the information that the NPC will release hidden career tasks for the hunter department!" Zhang Yang made an excuse.
"Really?" Han Guang was skeptical.
"Have I ever lied to you?" Zhang Yang asked.
"often!"
"Fuck, this time it's real, believe me!" Zhang Yang's fists were itching and he really wanted to punch someone.
He still remembered that there was a bug when a hunter was completing a hidden mission at level 100. In addition to the hunter who completed the mission, a teammate beside him also received the final reward - a phoenix beast!
The phoenix not only has super strong attack power, but can also be ridden. Riding on a phoenix with flaming light is absolutely amazing! When the two summoned the phoenix in the main city, many players were fascinated by it!
Unfortunately, the hidden quest was unique, and no other player could get the Phoenix except those two! Moreover, other players who were not hunters could only use mounts in the wild, and could not summon them in dungeons or arenas where mounts were not allowed. The impact was not that big, so the game company did not take back the Phoenix from the hunter teammate, and just let it go.
This time, it was his and Fatty Han's turn to get this amazing pet! The hunter and his teammates were both Koreans, and Zhang Yang never liked Koreans anyway, so he just took it.
"Okay, I'll trust you again!" Han Guang accepted Zhang Yang's advice again. "By the way, have you bought a gaming helmet?"
"I bought it a long time ago, just waiting for the server to open!"
"Hey, let's go to the restaurant across the street and have a few drinks! I'm telling you, there's a new chick over there, she's really pretty, and she seems to be quite interested in me, Fatty. Every time I go there, she flirts with me!"
"Go! Don't you always say that?"
"You little brat, you actually doubted my charm! By the way, what's your profession?"
"You'll know when the time comes!"
"Tsk, stop pretending, be careful or you'll get struck by lightning!"
…
A few more days passed, and the last day of June arrived as expected.
At 8:45 this morning, Miracle will be open to the world simultaneously, allowing players to register accounts and create game characters. At 9 o'clock, the servers in eight regions of the world will be opened at the same time, representing that this cross-era epic masterpiece has officially entered people's lives!
After putting on the gaming helmet, a slight electric current immediately passed through the cerebral cortex, bringing an indescribable feeling. Zhang Yang waited quietly, but after only three or four minutes, his eyes suddenly lit up and a familiar voice rang in his ears.
"Welcome to the world of Miracles!"
"A game account is being generated for you, please wait!"
"Your game account is being bound to your brainwaves and identity information. This game account is unique. Every time you log in to the game, you don't need to enter your account password. The system will scan your brainwaves and automatically match this game account!"
"Please note that each person can only have one game character at a time! Before creating a new character, the old character must be deleted! After creating a new character, it cannot be deleted within three days, and a new character cannot be created within fifteen days!"
"Account created successfully! Welcome to the Noranda continent, warrior, the alliance needs you to join!" The soft and pleasant female voice echoed in his ears, and a very familiar scene in his memory appeared in front of Zhang Yang's eyes: countless demons and undead either fell from the sky or crawled out from the ground, launching a fierce attack on an isolated human city!
The background of "Miracle" is the story of humans uniting with elves, orcs, and dwarves to resist the invasion of undead and demons. Zhang Yang has watched the prologue countless times, and immediately clicked "skip" to come to the interface of creating a character.
"Please select your race!" said the system's soft and pleasant female voice.
"Humanity!"
"Race, human, confirmed!" the soft female voice continued, "Please choose your profession!"
"warrior!"
"Profession, Warrior, OK! Please select your career branch!"
Each profession has branches, for example, warriors have two types: fury warriors and shield warriors.
"Shield Warrior!" Zhang Yang showed a nostalgic smile.
In his last life, he chose the shield warrior, and this time he chose the same profession, not only because he liked this profession, but also because he knew it best. Each profession has a large number of related hidden tasks, which are unique and have rich rewards. Due to his profession, Zhang Yang naturally knows the warrior's hidden tasks best, so he made this choice.
"Professional branch, shield warrior, confirmed!" the soft female voice continued, "Please enter the name of your game!"
"Battle control!"
"Name: Zhan Yu, confirmed!"
The system's voice paused, and the image in front of Zhang Yang changed, revealing a character that looked very similar to him. The soft female voice sounded again: "This is a character model built based on your physiological characteristics. You can modify your face shape based on this!"
Body shape cannot be changed, but Zhang Yang usually pays attention to exercise. With a height of 180 cm, his body shape is perfect! He thought about it and made a slight change to his face shape. It was not to make him better looking or uglier, but it made it difficult for familiar people to recognize him at once.
After doing all this, Zhang Yang clicked "Confirm".
"The character has been created. Please wait patiently for the server to be opened! During this period, you can view the description of the character's various attributes to get a better gaming experience! I wish you a happy game!"
A character interface appeared in front of Zhang Yang. The character he just created was wearing tattered equipment and had a dagger on his waist. As a shield warrior, he didn't even have a shield. Zhang Yang knew that he would have to wait until the character reached level five and completed the professional tasks before he could get a black iron quality shield.
Now, he has three pieces of equipment.
[Worn Breastplate](White, Armor)
Armor: +1
Required level: 0
[Tattered Leggings] (white, armor)
Armor: +1
Required level: 0
[Novice Dagger] (white, one-handed sword)
Attack power: 1-3
Attack interval: 2 seconds
Required level: 0
The attack interval refers to the frequency of a command weapon to perform a normal attack. Daggers have the shortest attack interval, followed by one-handed weapons and ranged weapons, and the slowest is two-handed weapons.
White quality equipment is also called white board equipment, which has nothing to add except armor, and the attack power of the weapon is extremely weak. One level higher than white board equipment is black iron equipment, and above that there are nine grades of bronze equipment, silver equipment, gold equipment, purple gold equipment, mysterious spirit equipment, phantom spirit equipment, earth holy equipment, heaven holy equipment, and artifacts, to meet the players' pursuit of "stronger" mentality.
The specific attributes of Zhang Yang are as follows:
[Player: Zhan Yu]
Level: 0
Health: 5050
Rage value: 0100
Armor: 2
Stamina: 0
Strength: 4
Agility: 1
Intelligence: 0
Spirit: 0
Luck: 0
Melee damage: 5-8
Attack interval: 2 seconds
Ranged Damage: None
Physical strength, strength, agility, intelligence, and spirit are the five basic attributes of a character.
Stamina: Increases the character's health. Each point of stamina increases the upper limit of health by 10 points.
Strength: Increases the character's physical damage. Every two points of strength increases the damage per second by one point.
Agility: Increases the character's movement speed and physical critical hit chance. For thieves and hunters, agility also increases skill damage.
Intelligence: Increases the character's spell damage, magic point limit and spell critical hit chance. Each point of intelligence increases one point of spell damage, and each point of intelligence increases the magic point limit by ten points.
Spirit: Reduces the character's casting time and speeds up mana regeneration.
Luck is a special attribute that cannot be improved through equipment. It is only rewarded by the system after completing certain main quests or difficult hidden quests. This attribute has many uses, such as giving the player's attack a chance to cause triple damage, which is called a lucky hit.
The sum of the five basic attributes of each character at birth is 5. Since warriors do not need spirit and intelligence, these two attributes are zero, and the values are allocated to strength and agility.
Rage value is unique to the warrior profession. In a non-combat state, the warrior's rage value is 0. After being involved in a battle, the warrior's rage value will increase by a little every second. Ordinary attacks will give a certain amount of rage value based on damage and character level, and using skills generally requires consumption of rage value, which is called venting.
