In 2050, the technology linking the human brain and the Internet will be fully mature, announcing that human consciousness can freely enter and exit the virtual world and interact with humans and machines, causing a huge sensation.
With the update and iteration of a series of information processing technologies such as supercomputers, optical computers, and quantum computers, a large number of military technologies have been lifted and become civilian technologies. With this wave of support, holographic virtual reality games, which have been popular for a long time, have ushered in a period of explosive growth.
At that time, in order to demonstrate their national strength and promote their own cultures, major countries all turned their attention to the gaming industry. One holographic game after another was launched, which was dazzling.
[Jiuzhou World] was born in this context. A super map evolved from parameters, a series of beautiful pictures that do not exist in reality, and most importantly, a real experience of flying and hiding, made this completely open holographic game quickly popular.
Initially, due to cultural reasons, this game was only popular in Asia, until massive publicity, the participation of countless guilds, the establishment of professional leagues, and the benefits of equipment trading, bonuses, and medals, this game gradually occupied the game markets in other continents.
The main reason why [Jiuzhou World] can break through the siege, crush other bitches, and win the hearts of the majority of players is just two words - real.
Because it is so realistic, many players firmly believe that this world really exists and is not just a bunch of virtual parameters.
Lu Beifei is not a professional gamer, but an ordinary family. The high price of a game cabinet is prohibitive for him, and he has no way and cannot add holographic games to his personal hobbies.
But he found a good job, and his boss was an amateur player who was not very good at playing. He was often pinned to the ground by other players, but he stubbornly said that it was not called clumsy hands, but that he was distracted by his career, so his hand speed was slow.
After a short period of playing for others, the boss realized that Lu Bei's gaming talent was wasted due to poverty, so he gladly handed his account to him and asked him to complete the story missions on his behalf.
As a result, Lu Bei spent half of his working time in the game cabin.
In fact, he himself has little interest in this game. After all, no matter how real it is, the Internet is not reality. The gap between the power on the Internet and the helplessness in reality is too big. Over time, not to mention mental illness, it is enough to make people lose their position.
This is not good.
However, his boss gave him too much. Faced with the offer of a salary increase and a doubling of his year-end bonus, Lu Bei chose to put himself in a difficult position.
That day, he went to his boss' office as usual amid the envious and jealous eyes of his colleagues, opened the game console skillfully, selected the story mode to enter [Kyushu World], and then...
There was no then. I closed my eyes and opened them again. The world in front of me became more real.
His boss's account was nowhere to be found, so he logged into an unfamiliar account, which was an NPC template for passers-by.
Unable to log off, he tried to ask for help, but found that the forum was gray and blank. There was not even an official pinned post. It was worse than being under maintenance.
After communicating with another NPC passerby, Lu Bei confirmed that he had traveled through time.
In 824 AD of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Ningzhou, Dongyang County, and Langyu County.
The year 824 was the time node for the public beta test of [Jiuzhou World]. When Lu Bei started playing for his superior, he had been doing tasks in the capital of the Wu Zhou Dynasty. The version had been updated to 3.0.
In other words, he not only traveled through the world, but also through time.
Although the time in Jiuzhou is not synchronized with the real time, this is not the point. The point is that Lu Bei found himself being followed by an old Taoist priest.
The pair of lustful eyes stared at him up and down, which made him shudder and instantly woke up from the confusion of time travel.
"Young man, I see that you have a fine bone structure and are a good material for cultivating immortality. I just happen to be in need of a disciple. How about we make do with each other?"
"You're dreaming."
An old Taoist priest with a lecherous look in his eyes rubbed his hands while talking. Considering both his physical and mental safety, Lu Bei did not give him any room for maneuver and firmly rejected him.
This was the first time Lu Bei and Mo Buxiu met, and he was not very friendly to him. Mo Buxiu forcibly took him up the mountain and forced him to become his disciple.
…
"I have a headache and I'm so hungry. Can I still go back?"
Lu Bei frowned as he closed his eyes and checked the information on the panel. He muttered to himself, "If not, what should I do in the future? Is this panel serious? Will there really be players entering the game... This is too bad. I didn't agree to it. And I'm so hungry."
Lu Bei, who had not yet solved the hunger problem, began to worry about his future life. With a series of sighs, he once again focused on the information on the panel.
After the player enters the game, there are options such as story mode, battle mode, and dungeon mode. There is nothing for NPCs, so there is no need to consider it.
In addition, the panel information of players and NPCs is slightly different, which is much simpler and looks quite refreshing at first glance.
The first level interface of the information panel is divided into four areas. Lu Bei clicked on them one by one. Except for the character interface, the rest of the skills, wealth, and camps were blank.
"That shouldn't be the case. I can understand that the skills are blank, but why are the wealth and faction blank?"
Lu Bei said that it was impossible to understand. Mo Buxiu passed the position of the leader of Yuhua Sect to him. Logically, there should be at least a land deed in the wealth interface, and the camp should also have default changes.
"Is it because of my inner resistance that I inherited his legacy but not completely?"
Confused, Lu Bei turned to study the character interface. After reading just a few lines, ignoring the comments in the last line, he had a general idea in his mind.
First of all, the attributes are not much different from those of the players. To be frank, it can almost be said that all the attributes of the game are continued.
Leaving aside the standards for equipment assembly and practice of martial arts, strength determines basic attack power, speed determines basic movement and dodging, and spirit and endurance determine basic cultivation and life, with the ratio being 1:10.
Of course, there are some subdivisions among them, such as spirit, which affects will, judgment, and understanding, while endurance affects defense and physical strength, and also has an impact on skills and techniques.
As for charm, it is not the same as appearance. It affects the interaction with NPCs and also plays a huge role within the camp.
Of course, if he was so handsome that it was earth-shattering, so handsome that everyone ignored other factors and compared his looks to charm, Lu Bei would have nothing to say.
Now let's talk about luck. Lu Bei had never understood this thing. Let's take the simplest example: with the same account, doing the same task, everything is the same, but his probability of getting good equipment is higher than his boss's.
What does this mean
His boss is an African
On the one hand, it is true. On the other hand, the final right of interpretation of what equipment will be dropped belongs to the official.
After looking at the attributes of 233333, Lu Bei glanced at the level, experience, and cultivation. It was not surprising that he was not starting from scratch. The official forum had explained that the world of Jiuzhou was full of spiritual energy. As long as one could breathe, even a pig would have cultivation over time.
If you are lucky, you can open your spiritual intelligence and turn into a monster.
But one thing is that although there is cultivation, it is a natural sedimentation of spiritual energy in the body. Without real systematic practice, the cultivated pigs will just taste better.
This also explains why Lu Bei has the ability to cultivate but is unable to open the Qiankun bag. At present, his taste may be slightly inferior to that of a pig.
"I don't have a main profession yet, and I need a guide. If nothing unexpected happens, this person is my senior sister."
After a moment, Lu Bei opened his eyes and casually pulled up a dogtail grass and held it in his mouth: "I don't know what Senior Sister's main occupation is. Lingxiao Sword Sect, it sounds like a Taoist practice, but it's not necessarily true. Many magic practitioners also practice swords... Hey, this grass tastes good, is it because of the spiritual energy?"
…
By noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky and the cool mountain breeze brought a slight dryness.
After chewing the dogtail grass continuously, Lu Bei's health value recovered somewhat. He sighed that there were many wonders in the world, and that he could do whatever he wanted if he had spiritual energy. Because he didn't know when the so-called senior sister would arrive, and he was even more unsure whether she would come, he decided to try to go down the mountain while it was still early.
It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not, it's good to explore a way forward.
Just as he walked to the front yard, which might be the gate or the courtyard wall, he saw pine trees welcoming him and birds singing in the forest. Lu Bei heard the sound of wind behind him and turned to look over.
In sight, there is a woman wearing a white corseted dress with a light blue silk sash tied around her waist. Her black hair falls to her waist. She has no hair accessories, only a white silk tied around her hair.
She has fair skin, a pretty figure, and a face as delicate as a painting.
Vixen? So fast
Lu Bei frowned and took a half step back.
In terms of facts and reason, the girl opposite him looked younger than him. If this girl was the Senior Sister Bai who won the title of the first disciple of Lingxiao Sword Sect thirty years ago as mentioned by Mo Buxiu, then...
This immortal has cultivated himself!
No matter who comes, it won’t work!
Seeing Lu Bei's alertness, the woman's cold expression subsided a little, and she introduced herself, "Bai Jin received a message from Master Mo, but is it in person, Master Brother?"
"It's you, Senior Sister. You're so fair. My name is Lu Bei."
"What?"
"I mean... Hello, Senior Sister Bai, my name is Lu Bei."
After a few brief exchanges and confirming that the person in front of him was his senior sister and not a vixen, Lu Bei shook his head awkwardly. Although he had personally experienced that in the Kyushu world, one could do whatever he wanted with spiritual energy, he still couldn't get rid of the preconceived impression.
It seems that it will take some time to adapt quickly.
Inside the house, Bai Jin fell silent as he looked at the wooden box on the table. After a long while, he said, "Junior Brother Lu, Uncle Mo was in a hurry to send a message. Does he have any last words for you to pass on to me?"
"Master... he said that he would have to trouble Senior Sister with matters concerning my cultivation." Lu Bei thought for a moment and said so.
"Nothing else?"
"Anything else?"
Lu Bei's expression remained unchanged. He muttered to himself that one should be on guard against others. He changed the subject and said, "He passed away too quickly. He didn't even have the chance to say 'I will pass on my life's skills to you'. There was really nothing else."
Bai Jin was speechless. Lu Bei's personality was much more eccentric than she had imagined. His cultivation would probably be much more difficult than others. And Mo Buxiu...
"Junior Brother Lu, tell me the truth, did Uncle Mo mention my master at the last moment?"
"???"
Looking at Bai Jin's genuine and delicate face, Lu Bei had a string of question marks on his mind, and he asked tentatively, "He did mention Ling Xiao Sword Sect, but he only said one sentence. If he hadn't accidentally injured his head brother, he would definitely go back to take a look before he died."
"So that's how it is. It was mentioned." Bai Jin nodded, then shook his head.
"Senior Sister Bai, I have something to ask, but I don't know if I should ask it or not." Thinking of a certain possibility, Lu Bei felt a lot of pressure for a moment.
"explain."
Senior sister was the first disciple of Lingxiao Sword Sect thirty years ago, so how old are you now? How many years have you been practicing
In fact, Lu Bei wanted to ask this question, but considering that it would damage the friendship between the senior sister and the disciple, and mainly damage his health, he resolutely suppressed it in his heart and asked carefully: "Senior Sister Bai, the injured headmaster, could it be that the respected master?"
"No, that was the head master. There was some misunderstanding between him and Uncle Mo."
Bai Jin turned his head and said, "As for my master... She is the headmaster's wife."
Lu Bei: “…”
Got it, the relationship isn't complicated.
In addition, with this relationship, his plan to go to Lingxiao Sword Sect to gain experience is no longer possible.
