8pm.
The Joker and The King of Comedy arrive at a strip club.
Oh no.
It should be Wang Chou and Father Qin Feng who came to a human performance art show hall.
This is their alias in the central city. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to introduce themselves to others using their player names.
'Hello, I am Tiandaohuidu...'
"Oh, my name on VR is Hua Kai Fu Gui, by the way, what's your real name?"
'God rewards hard work...'
'Idiot!'
So embarrassing!
Most players who go out will give themselves a pseudonym that matches the "game world", and some simply call themselves by their real names, which makes them feel fully immersed in the game.
After entering the club, looking at the ambiguous purple-red warm light, the Clown King was a little nervous.
"This... won't be caught by the Internet police in the future, right?"
"Don't worry, as long as you don't record it and send it out, who will know?"
"That's right... You are so experienced. You must be a very cautious person."
"No, I record it every time, and I can watch the video and direct it later when I'm offline."
"?"
The Clown King opened his mouth but didn't know how to complain.
In the end, I can only say: "Damn! How disgusting! It's a shame to let you play this game for free!"
God rewards hard work: "Oh! Enjoy it while you can. After the game is 100% unlocked, it feels exactly like the real thing... Well, I guess it should be the same. Anyway, it's very fun. When the public beta is launched and there are more players, you won't be able to enjoy such good service. Who knows, by then, the central city may belong to us players."
The Clown King keenly grasped a key word: "Guess? Why do you want to guess? Can't you compare yourself?"
God rewards hard work. His face darkened and he stared at him in silence.
"I haven't seen any... "
Clown King: "Hahahaha! You are amazing, brother! Hahaha~ There are still some that haven't been seen through... Are you trying to make me die of laughter, hahaha~ Guess what?"
"Neither have I."
God rewards hard work: "6!"
The two found a place to sit down. A seductive woman started performing on the stage. Those who have watched this show know that the body performance art show emphasizes gradual progress and atmosphere. It is meaningless to just take off everything at once. At this time, she is using seductive language and body movements to arouse the audience.
The Clown King took a sip of water to moisten his throat and said, "You just mentioned the public beta. What do you think about the people who play this game now gaining mysterious powers?"
God rewards hard work. He ordered a few drinks and took off his coat, revealing his slightly plump body.
"I've heard that after some players light up a planet with increased energy attributes through the shrine ruins, an equal amount of energy will appear in reality. At the same time, they can also use the memories in the game to release some simple skills. I have also verified this and it is indeed true."
"And... I'm probably the one who has verified this the most among all the players."
At this point, Tian Dao Hui Diligence sighed.
"Alas, it's useless to think too much. Just let the world change as it pleases. For me... no matter how the real world changes, it won't get any worse. Just enjoy the present."
The Clown King immediately asked, "What do you mean? What did you verify?"
"Constellation skills."
"Um?"
God rewards hard work. The smart watch gently bumped against his, sending a message.
Constellation: Turtle
Order
One star: HP +80, Defense +12
2 stars: HP +80, Defense +15, Strength +2
Three stars: HP +100, Defense +15
Four stars: Gain the constellation skill "Turtle Shell". When your life is threatened, the power of the stars will form a protective barrier around you, resisting 500 points of damage and temporarily increasing your overall resistance by 5%. Cooldown time: 30 minutes. (Level 1)
Five stars:
"This is the constellation I lit up, the Turtle, a purely defensive constellation. After reaching 4 stars, I was given this passive skill called 'Turtle Shell', but at this time I had already settled here, there were no enemies, and no threats, so it had never been triggered. Besides... 500 points of shield and 5% resistance, that's all, better than nothing."
"But, I used it in real life."
"Three days ago, it was a rainy day. I was eating at the night market when a sports car rushed in like crazy and knocked everyone in the stall out. I estimated that it was going at least 200+ km/h. I had no time to react! When it rushed in front of me... my mind went blank for a second. I just thought I was dead."
The Clown King immediately thought of the revenge incident that shocked the nation a few days ago, and asked nervously, "And then?"
"Then... at the moment I was knocked away, the sky seemed to light up for a moment, and an invisible transparent protective shield appeared on my body. After I landed... I was unharmed."
Clown King: “Hiss!
! Constellation Skill—Turtle Shell! "
"Sir, your wine~"
"Oh thank you."
When the waitress saw the iron mask hanging on the Clown King, she showed a surprised expression, bit her upper lip and threw a wink, but the Clown King had no time to pay attention to her, as all his attention was on God rewards hard work.
When my sister saw the longing look on his face, she called him a gay and walked away with her hips twisted.
Tiandaochuhendu took a sip of normal wine and sighed twice in comfort.
"That's right... It was this passive skill that saved my life in real life. Of the people who were hit at the time... 12 died and 5 were seriously injured. It was so tragic. I was the only one who was safe and sound. Later, I was afraid of getting into trouble so I quickly ran away. Fortunately, there were no cameras over there. Later, the person responsible for this vicious incident found me, and I said that I was not hit and ran away on my own..."
"Think about it now, 500 points of damage absorption is nothing compared to the hundreds or thousands of damage we are dealing with right now, but don't forget... we just entered the game, and our level 1 body has a maximum health of 500. If converted to reality... then this 500 points of damage absorption is equivalent to one tube of blood for one life!"
After hearing about the experience of God paying off hard work, the Clown King was shocked.
"This is too much... You have already materialized your zodiac sign skills. What on earth is going on in this game?"
“I don’t know... But I think it’s always a good idea to collect more shrines and find ways to gain more shrine skills. From what I’ve learned offline... many beta testers outside the base think the same way.”
"etc!"
The Clown King seemed to notice something was wrong: "Where did you get so many piety points to light up the constellations so high? You lit up 4 of your turtle constellations, and used 1 to choose the Order Route in the Land of Choice, which means you have lit up 5 shrines now???"
"And... you said you were only level 10 when you left the base, and you didn't participate in the Red City Battle, so you definitely didn't light up the Red City shrine. Assuming you lit up the shrines in the Four Mountains and the Red Maple Forest, you found three different shrine ruins outside???"
Pah pah pah~
God rewards hard work.
"The Joker King is indeed an elite player. He figured it out for me. Yes, I did find three shrine ruins outside the base... One is in the central city, one is in the suburbs of the central city, and one is outside Zibo City."
"Fuck! You found three of the shrine ruins that everyone was looking for without anyone noticing? So you are the great god... I'm so sorry!"
"Oh! This thing is everywhere in the world. It's not difficult for those who are interested to find it. The NPCs in the game are not interested in the shrine ruins and even stay away from them, fearing that absorbing the bad energy inside will interfere with their own cultivation. Therefore, they are shown on the map as dangerous restricted areas for humans. You can find them by buying a detailed map of the central city."
"In Zibo City... it was just a coincidence. I saw a bunch of mutants with poisonous bubbles all over their bodies, just like they were just fished out of a cesspool. Although they were not very strong, they were very disgusting. After being poisoned, they kept losing blood. I have 0 poison resistance, and after being infected, I was poisoned for most of the day. Later, I asked the locals, and they said that the mutants here will appear again after a while after being wiped out. It's because there is an alien meteorite over there that keeps emitting poisonous energy. Oh, and there are all kinds of poisonous mutant creatures around."
"At that time, I met a noble person who used a life potion to help him repair his hidden injuries. He then helped me clean up the mutants and monsters. I went to offer sacrifices to the shrine and received 1 piety point."
"It was with the help of this noble man that I was able to successfully come to the central city and become a priest."
After hearing the story of God rewards hard work, the Clown King suddenly felt that he had played the game in vain!
"This game world is so exciting? A true open world! Awesome! No matter what principle can affect reality... I have to light up the shrine first, to prevent it from being controlled by others and ordinary people like us from being able to light it up."
Tiandaochouqin nodded and said, "I am afraid that some people in real life will find out about this and try to block the shrine in the game, so I have not shared this news yet... But since you are here, and other players are coming too, you will know it sooner or later."
"By the way, Ye Cai, Ye Xu, and Ye Kun have also opened the two shrines in the central city."
"The offerings are relatively simple. One needs a plant that contains lightning energy, and the other needs a bone that can move... Actually, it's a skeleton, which can be easily purchased in the central city."
Clown King: "OK! Thanks bro, I'll do it tomorrow... Shit, I'm excused!?"
The two chatted while appreciating the art of the human body, and the Clown King gained a lot.
After the Clown King, who had just entered the central city, received some help from Ye Cai, he obtained more information from Tiandaochouqin.
I can't help but sigh: "Players help players!"
...
Zhao Family Courtyard.
Zhao Rulong waited for a whole day but received no news from Zhao Rujiao, and even failed to find the team leader Carl who returned in Zhao Rujiao's aircraft.
He already had some bad feelings.
"Fulin, send someone to Yinglong Military Base immediately and bring Zhao Rujiao back to me. I want to know what happened over there and who... murdered my daughter!"
"yes!"
