The King’s Return

Chapter 2: Han Hua Sword Sect

Views:

Most of the tasks in Novice Village are for players to familiarize themselves with the basic operations, which is a piece of cake for online game veterans, but because "Done Step Jianghu" is the first game in China with a VR perspective, the scene is too realistic, and many novices are entering the game. Afterwards, I couldn’t adapt to the immersive 3D scene, and I would feel dizzy when the camera turned, and the map channel kept popping up various complaints——

"I almost hit a tree just now, and I subconsciously touched my forehead to see if it hurts!"

"Who told me what to do if I have a fear of heights? I heard that beginners can learn lightness exercises, and if I fly into the sky, I will cry!"

"Skills can't be locked, mobs are still running around, can't you beat them?"

"The task of finding Granny Xu at level 3 is so difficult! Where is Granny Xu? Lu Chi, please guide me!"

A large number of novices complained, and even Qin Mo, who used to be an e-sports player, encountered some difficulties when doing novice tasks.

Compared with the simple keyboard and mouse mode, although the touch screen mode looks taller, it requires higher finger flexibility.

Qin Mo slides his finger slightly in the sliding area, and the view of the character in the game will change accordingly. The response of the touch screen is extremely sensitive, which also requires the player's fingers to be quite precise. Even if it is a slight difference in the angle of one degree, the field of view in the game will also change accordingly. It is conceivable that in the future on the field, calculating the opponent's field of vision to carry out sneak attacks will become one of the very powerful tactics. Professional players' accurate grasp of the 3D field of view will also become the top priority of basic skills.

Qin Mo took a deep breath and calmed himself down to observe the game interface carefully.

There is a compass icon and a small translucent map in the upper right corner of the field of vision. This design is very thoughtful and has helped Qin Mo a lot. He walked through the entire Xinshou Village in the direction of the compass—the scenery here is beautiful, like a paradise without disputes, the shadows of the houses in the village, the figures of the players, and even the reflections of the scenery in the water are all clearly presented in front of his eyes.

A more realistic sensory experience is the biggest advantage of VR games, but also the biggest difficulty in operation.

The more in-depth study, the more Qin Mo loves this game.

Unlike most of the players around him, he only cares about watching the beautiful scenery of the VR world. His goal is very clear--the professional league next year.

Therefore, his observation points are also more refined and professional.

When others see a forest, they may only think it is beautiful, but Qin Mo will pay attention to more professional details such as the density of the forest, the shadow of the trees, and the viewing angle behind the trees, because he knows that when he enters the competition in the later stage, After the field, a slight difference in vision may reverse the situation of the game.

He is no longer the sharp-edged boy he was back then.

From now on, he will lay a solid foundation in this brand new game world, and then start from scratch.

***

It took Qin Mo nearly two hours to finish the novice task slowly. Before leaving Xinshou Village, he had initially mastered the brand-new touch-screen operation mode, and was able to skillfully make the camera rotate as he wished.

The village head asked him to go back to the sect to meet the master, and sent him directly back to Kunlun Mountain with a teleportation array.

The Hanhua Sword Sect, located at the top of Kunlun, is famous for its spectacular snow scenery.

It snows here all the year round, and the solemn and solemn buildings are all covered by white snow. The three snow peaks standing side by side tower into the clouds, looking majestic and majestic from a distance.

As if to suit the occasion, the disciples of the Hanhua Sword Sect also wore mainly white costumes. Many white-clothed swordsmen holding sharp swords danced swords at the Jianjianping on the mountainside. Qin Mo stopped and looked at it for a while, and found that The poses of the NPCs are designed to look good, and the sword moves are extremely smooth. From these details, it can be seen that the developers of the game are very attentive.

Then, he discovered that there is another major innovation in this game-the impact of the comprehensive scene composed of weather, light, and vegetation on people.

Snow scene, rain scene, night scene, early morning, dusk...

Different scenery has different effects on the player's field of vision.

When we were in Xinshou Village just now, the scene happened to be dusk, and Qin Mo could clearly see the scenery within about fifty feet in front of him. But on the snow-capped mountains, because the white snow refracted the sunlight very dazzlingly, his sight distance was shortened to about 30 feet, and when he rotated the camera to face away from the direction of the sun, the sight distance increased again.

- Almost completely simulates the real world setting!

——Qin Mo didn't expect that today's VR games can achieve such a level!

In this way, in the future, not only the fixed field of view of oneself and the opponent must be considered, but also the influence of external factors such as weather, light, vegetation, etc., which will undoubtedly make the arena more complicated. Richer and more interesting.

Qin Mo carefully observed the spectacular snow scene on Kunlun Mountain, and then walked along the mountain road to the main hall of the Hanhua Sword Sect to meet the head.

The head of the Hanhua Sword Sect is named Qi Mufeng, who is about thirty years old, wearing a moon-white gown, holding a sharp sword shining with cold light, standing in the main hall, tall and straight, quite elegant , he has the reputation of "Sword Immortal" in the Jianghu—perhaps because the swordsman is so handsome, there are so many players joining the Hanhua Sword Sect in the game, and the surroundings are densely packed with people.

Qin Mo stepped forward to talk to him, and chose "Join the sect", the logo of the Hanhua Sword Sect appeared on the head of "Mohen" immediately, and he obtained the basic entry-level exterior outfit "Hanyue Suit".

After putting on the new equipment, Qin Mo listened to the headmaster gently say: "The Hanhua Sword School has two kinds of martial arts for cultivation, one is "Autumn Water Sword Art", the weapon is a long sword, the body is light, and the swordsmanship is elegant, like It is as deep and unfathomable as ghosts and ghosts, but it requires strong talents and skills to achieve success; the second is "Wuhen Jianjue", the weapon is a short sword, the sword is sharp, steady and steady, and the damage is extremely impressive. You Just joined the sect, let the senior brothers and sisters show you the difference between the two cultivation methods of this sect."

Qin Mo opened the pop-up video and carefully observed the skill demonstrations of his brothers and sisters. After watching it once, he immediately understood the core setting of the game - combos.

In the game "Unique Jianghu", players can learn a total of seven basic skills from joining the sect to reaching the full level.

Multiple combos of the same skill, or combinations of different combos of skills, will have different effects.

Unlike the fixed play routines in previous games, due to the emergence of "combo skills" and "combo skills", the degree of freedom is quite high. That is to say, if your level is sufficient, you can even create a brand new combo mode by yourself, a typical "master leads the door, and practice depends on the individual".

There are two training routes for each sect, which also enriches the choices of players.

Taking the Hanhua Sword School as an example, the operation of Qiushui Sword Art (long sword) requires a combination of different skills. The operation is more complicated, but the control effect is more. But Wuhen Jianjue (short sword) is a continuous attack with the same skill, the operation is relatively simple, and the damage caused is higher.

After watching the video, Qin Mo chose the long sword as his weapon—he prefers a skillful control flow gameplay.

With the choice of weapon, the first skill of the basic skills of Qiushuijianjue "Sword to the End of the World" and the martial arts "Pian Ruo Jing Hong" appear in the skill column. Qin Mo put the two skills on the upper left corner of the sixteen-grid screen, tried to press them, and then continued to do the main task of the sect according to the instructions of the master.

The main line of the sect is mostly to introduce the background of the sect and some anecdotes of NPCs to the players. The story is very strong, and Qin Mo can enjoy watching the plot while doing the task.

It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that he finally reached level 15.

The leader gave him a set of level 15 equipment, and also taught him the second skill of "Autumn Water Sword Art" "Sword Rain and Setting Sun", and let him go down the mountain to experience it.

Qin Mo came to the first main city of the game - Mingzhou.

As the main city of the game, the number of players in Mingzhou City is naturally several times higher than that of the Hanhua Sword Sect. The streets are crowded and lively. However, most of the players are in a hurry, obviously busy with task upgrades. The communication area in the lower left corner keeps popping up prompts to call up the team. This is also because it is much faster to do tasks in a team than by a single person.

Qin Mo called out the team recruitment panel, just in time to see a recruitment message just released: "Level 15 Mingzhou City Main Line, anyone who wants to come!"

Applying to join the team, the request was approved immediately. Qin Mo followed the teammate marks on the map to the middle of the big arena in Mingzhou City, and saw three teammates waiting for him there. Since Qin Mo had fully understood the martial arts setting of Dubujianghu before entering the game, he quickly distinguished the occupations of the three teammates.

—The captain's name is Jinghua Shuiyue, he is dressed in dark green clothes, and he is carrying a medicine basket on his back. He should be from the sect "Fangcaotang" and kills people with various poisons.

—Hiding a knife in his smile, tall and strong, wearing a fiery red dress, with a machete in his hand, it looks like the "Crazy Sword Sect" from Beimo.

—Feng Qingye, dressed in white and holding a long sword, obviously came from the "Hanhua Sword Sect" like Qin Mo.

"Mohen, are you a novice or a veteran? Have you played this game before?" In the communication area in the lower left corner, small characters typed by captain Jinghua Shuiyue appeared.

Qin Mo swiped his finger lightly to open the character input mode on the touch screen panel, and quickly typed: "I'm a novice."

"Oh, novices, don't run around later, remember to follow me closely, the mobs in this game are more difficult to fight!"

"OK."

At this moment, another person entered the team, ID is Xiaoyaoxian, wearing a light green dress, obviously also from Fangcaotang, and she is a girl.

Mirror Flower Water Moon: "Sister's weapon is a silver needle, is she majoring in healing?"

Xiaoyaoxian: "That's right. I'm a novice, please take care of me O(∩_∩)O~"

Mirror Flower Shuiyue: "You're welcome, girl, I'm with Xiao Li Zang Dao and Feng Qing Ye, the three of us have played the closed beta, you can ask us if you have any questions in the future."

Xiao Yaoxian: "Great, thank you!"

Mirror Flower Water Moon: "I'll go to pick up the task, you wait for me at the gate of the city."

The captain was rather straightforward. In a flash, he flew to connect the three missions, shared them on the team channel, and then called everyone to the outside of Mingzhou City.

The first task: remove 8 beehives in the woods outside the city.

There are a lot of players doing quests in the woods, and the sound of "buzzing" from bees can be heard from time to time. Jinghua Shuiyue led everyone into the depths of the woods and found a place with dense beehives. Just as he was about to type, he saw the novice Xiao Yaoxian in the team actively go to the tree to clean up the beehives. Seeing the four of them rushing towards each other, the dense visual effect makes people shudder!

Jinghua Shuiyue nimbly jumped back to widen the distance, and as a result, that novice little Yaoxian ran to open another beehive.

"I'll go!" Jinghua Shuiyue couldn't help but swear, typing quickly while avoiding the attack of the bee swarm, "Why are you driving so much?"

Xiao Yaoxian replied innocently: "Isn't the mission to kill 8 groups?"

Jinghua Shuiyue was a little speechless: "There are 8 missions, do you want to attract 8 groups to kill together?"

Xiao Yaoxian said: "In the past, when doing missions in the game, you would lure monsters to kill them together. I will give you blood, you can try O(∩_∩)O~"

Try a ghost! This is a 3D game! So many bees are going to be blind!

Jinghua Shuiyue was about to type to tell her not to attract monsters, but saw this guy quickly opened two more beehives.

Sister, you poke the honeycomb too aggressively...

In an instant, there were bees everywhere in the front, rear, left, and right, and the sound of buzzing was endless. People who are not psychologically good enough to see this realistic picture may be scared to cry.

Surrounded by bee swarms, Jinghua Shuiyue was in a bad mood, and complained on the voice channel: "Where did this rookie come from? Tell me to attract monsters everywhere?!"

Hiding a knife in a smile is being chased by the swarm of bees, and he can't spare his hands to type, but also speaks with his voice: "My god, I'm going blind!"

Feng Qingye's voice was relatively calm: "Calm down, let's start from the beginning after death. Anyway, being stung won't hurt."

Jinghua Shuiyue couldn't help frowning: "Little Yaoxian is really good at getting into trouble, she really is a novice."

This is the voice room built into the game. Qin Mo didn't turn on the free voice system, so he couldn't hear the discussion of the three of them. At this moment, he was staring intently at the swarm of bees in front of him.

Because Xiao Yaoxian was the first to open the monster, the hatred of the bee swarm was all on her, and bees from all directions flew in front of her, and the girl ran away in fright, Qin Mo immediately pressed the lightness key that was set just now—Pian Ruo Jing Hong.

The swordsman in white in the game suddenly flew forward five feet like a roc spreading its wings, and then swooped down from the air. The long sword in his hand swept forward decisively, drawing two beautiful arcs. With one pick, he stabs forward, pulls out a string of beautiful sword flowers, and unleashes the combo combo skill neatly - Sword to the End of the World, Sword Rain to the Setting Sun!

The snow-white sword light enveloped the swarm of bees just right, and the second combo of the sword Tianya caused group damage, followed by the effect of the sword rain and setting sun, and an unexpected scene appeared——

I saw the dense swarm of bees suddenly stopped in place as if they had been cursed!

Jinghua Shuiyue is still complaining on the voice channel: "There are so many monsters, and the bee colony is still in a paralyzed state. If you get stung, you will die... Damn? What's going on?"

Hidden knife in the smile, he was stunned: "What's the situation? The bee colony has been fixed?"

Feng Qingye, who was originally calm, was also surprised: "Isn't this Mohen a novice? He knows such high-end operations as 'Tianyang Erlian'?!"

The three of them were ready to die and return to the main city to start over, but when they switched back to the game, they saw that Mohen had fixed all the bee colonies in place.

The swordsman in white was attacking the swarm of bees at a dizzying and terrifying speed. The sharp long sword quickly swept across the front in a fan shape, forming an impenetrable white light and shadow in front of him.

And those bees, as if the collective IQ had gone offline, were firmly held in place by him, unable to move at all.

This scene made the old player Jinghua Shuiyue, who had participated in several rounds of internal testing, suddenly feel chills in his heart.

—Is this ink mark really a novice
