"You come?"
Sonia was a little puzzled and looked at Ash with suspicion.
In the growth career of a magician, virtual realm exploration is undoubtedly an important part of their life, and it can even be said to be the most important part.
The vast majority of adventures, breakthroughs, and promotions in this world occur in the virtual realm, and many magicians are willing to spend their entire lives exploring the virtual realm.
Compared with the virtual world, reality is just a stage for magicians to show off in their spare time.
Although the virtual realm is so important, there is still no guide to explore the virtual realm that can be followed.
Maybe there is, but Sonia can't reach it with her current status.
During the afternoon class, Sonia specifically asked Professor Trozan if he had any warm tips about the virtual world, but Trozan spread his hands to indicate that he had none.
"The reason why magicians have equal status is because we are all equally ignorant in the virtual world."
Sonia knew how much Professor Trozan thought of her, and she also saw that the professor was a typical swordsman who disdained to lie to a weakling like her.
Even the Three-Winged Sanctuary Magician didn't have an effective strategy, so Sonia didn't expect much from the viewers.
"The virtual world is dangerous," Sonia reminded, "If I die here, I'll have to go back and spend three days recuperating."
The magician will die in the virtual world.
The most common way of death is, of course, drowning.
When a magician wants to explore the deep sea, or stay still in the sea, he may be drowned by the ocean of knowledge.
That's why Sonia was so surprised by the small boat - it meant they were safe from drowning.
When a magician dies in the virtual world, his soul will suffer great trauma. The stronger the magician is, the more severe the trauma and the longer it will take to recover.
A novice magician like Sonia only needs to recuperate for three days, while a formal silver magician needs at least fifteen days, and a gold magician needs months. It is said that the recuperation time for a sanctuary magician and a legendary magician may even take years.
Failure to explore the virtual world means that one's growth rate will drop by 90%. Therefore, there are many different views among magicians on the exploration of the virtual world: some people are conservative and try to grow steadily; while others like to take risks, and if they win the bet, they will become a young model in the club, and if they lose the bet, they will become a young model in the club.
In the past, Sonia was inclined to take risks because she had nothing, but now she tends to be cautious. After discovering her talent for swordsmanship, Professor Trozan commented that "in twenty years, gold will not be a problem, and in forty years, there is hope for the sanctuary."
In the Starry Kingdom, a two-winged golden magician is considered a figure of moderate importance. It is not a problem for him to become a minor noble. It can be said that Sonia has achieved her life goal.
If one could be promoted to the Three-Winged Sanctuary, he could even create a family and become famous.
Therefore, Sonia's petty-bourgeois mentality is very normal. She knows that she still has a better future, but the embarrassing reality forces her to just hold on to what she has.
The world is a beautiful place and worth fighting for, she could only agree with the second half of the sentence.
However, no matter how conservative she was, Sonia had to explore the virtual world. There was no option of "staying where you are". Countless school teachers, even Professor Trozan, specifically reminded her: Never stay in the same place.
Until now, no one knows what will happen if one stays in the same place for a long time, but those who enter the virtual world and stop moving forward will soon have their heartbeats stop in reality, and even the healers cannot save them because their souls are not in their bodies at all.
Therefore, there is a saying that if you stop moving in the virtual world, your body will think you are dead and you will die on the spot.
"I heard that when you first enter the virtual world, it is safest to go in the direction where the white fog is lightest," said Sonia.
This can't be considered a strategy, at most it's just some tips summed up by the magicians of Jianhua University, and the success rate is less than 60%, and another 40% of the respondents encountered danger.
But in this completely unknown ocean, a 60% chance is already worth a gamble.
"No, we're going over there."
Ash pointed to the thickest part of the fog. It was impossible to see through it, and it was scary to look at. Sonia wanted to say something, but the boat sailed over automatically, and she immediately diverted her attention: "Can you control this boat? Did you bring this boat with you?"
"yes."
"Then why did you just trick me into jumping into the sea!?"
Seeing Sonia tighten her grip on the wooden sword again, Ash quickly explained: "I just realized that I can control this ship. I meant it when I asked you to jump into the sea!"
"Do you really want to see me make a fool of myself?"
"I really want to see you get wet... Hey, calm down, we have entered an unknown area and may encounter danger at any time!"
White fog was blowing towards them, and the unknown might appear at any time. Sonia could only sit down in indignation.
However, as Sonia passed through layer after layer of white fog, she felt something flowing into her body. Her consciousness became clearer and clearer, her skin glowed silver, and suddenly a lot of knowledge about swordsmanship emerged in her mind.
This is why magicians must explore the virtual realm - as long as they move in the virtual realm, they can automatically gain the knowledge in the virtual realm and condense their knowledge into silver magic power!
When a large amount of silver magic power settles and condenses, it can form the symbol of the virtual wing magician's strength: silver wings!
Sonia suddenly understood why magicians liked to immerse themselves in the virtual world.
This feeling of gaining knowledge every second and becoming stronger every moment is as comfortable as the first stretch in the morning.
While Sonia was enjoying the pleasure brought by knowledge, Ash was staring at the map on the screen like a poor student who was making small movements in class.
There is a small boat in the center of the map, surrounded by eight grids. The boat is now entering the upper left grid.
That’s right, this is the “virtual exploration” mode provided by the game. When Ash moves the boat in the game, the boat in the virtual world will also move with it.
In addition to moving, Ash can also query the information of these eight grids:
"a waste of effort", "seeking death", "a waste of effort", "a waste of effort", "a waste of effort", "a waste of effort", "worth going", "a bit troublesome", "it's better not to go".
Among the eight hints, "waste of effort" obviously means that there is nothing in the grid, "seeking death" is dangerous, "better not to go" is something Ash can't guess, and "worth a visit" is obviously a hint given by the game.
Soon, after passing through layers of white fog, a small island shrouded in thick fog appeared before the two.
Seeing this scene, Sonia suddenly recalled that the place where the viewer had conducted the dream trial with her before was exactly the same as the virtual world.
No wonder the viewer is so confident, he can use the virtual realm to conduct trials, so exploring the virtual realm is naturally a piece of cake for him!
The boat slowly stopped, and the moment the two men stepped onto the island, the thick fog suddenly dissipated, and a hunter wearing a wide-brimmed hat and holding a long gun appeared in front of them.
"Seven steps away, the gun is fast."
The hunter raised his gun and aimed at the two men: "Within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast!"
